Hello XDA,
I recently installed Bionix Nero Beta 2. When I saw Beta 3 had been released I downloaded it and tried booting into Clockwork recovery from the ROM manager app. For some reason when it reboots it appears to be quickly installing a package and then proceeding to boot into Samsung's recovery, not Clockwork.
It seems that the cryptic first screen is saying that it is restoring the default recovery, but I am unsure as it literally just flashes on the screen, from which point the phone reboots and goes into Samsungs recovery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
select reinstall packages and it'll take you to CWM
Awesome thank you it worked!
I have this problem also. When i reboot into recovery using rom man. it takes me to samsung recovery first. Then i have to reinstall the zip manually. I have to do this everytime i want to use clockwork recovery. It wont stay for some reason... any suggestions?
this seemed to start happening around the leaked roms.... not sure how that could have ANY affect, but a lot/most have this "issue" if you can call it that.
there is a fix for the recovery in the development section
Link? Or it never happened
The only way to fix this is by install one of eugines kernels with cw fix

I went from stock Froyo 2.2 to MIUI v3 using the following link.

Now when I startup my phone...
For one, it won't connect me to a network so I can't get phone calls or texts etc.
Also my volume up button is switched with my volume down button.
Trying to make a phone call it says "Mobile network not available".
Does anyone have any information to help me fix this problem? I am stuck.

Ok sooo...
I downloaded
kernel-cm-7-INITIAL-Vibrant-signed.zip
renamed it to update.zip
copied the update.zip along with the MIUI 1.5.20 english pack one to the root of my SD card (internal sd root)
Went into recovery mode, and tried to flash update.zip. It gave me some assert error right away. Now my phone is in a cycle of rebooting where it reboots into the flashing thing, tries to load real quick and then reboots itself.
Any tips? I'm kinda scared.
Odin back to stock and then try again, this guide by s15274n has all the files you need and step by step instructions.

The vibrant files you flashed probably weren't compatible with the I900 kernel/recovery you had flashed.

odin jfd, root, flash recovery then start over with the cm7 kernel then mui.
I'm having a problem following the guide...
Under 2 - Download 3 files..
Mount your phone and move the rom to the internal
AND the UPDATE.ZIP << DOWNLOAD
file if you wiped both internal/external or need to root.
Power down the phone, or pull the battery.

I don't know how I can get my phone mounted. Whenever I plug my phone into my computer (with the battery in), it automatically reboots itself and starts the crazy reboot thing. I also can't get back to recovery or downloading mode, it automatically goes back into the reboot thing.
And then in step 3 where it says start Odin, plug in your usb cable. With the battery out of your phone hold both volume buttons for a couple seconds and then plug in your USB cable. That doesn't take me to downloading mode.
EDIT:
Okay I figured out how to get it into downloading mode again. I need to do what it says above by holding the volume buttons with the battery out etc. Then you add the battery.
Hi guys. I got Odin to work. got back to stock.
Then got back into recovery mode to flash the cm7 kernel...
It is the same error as last time. Here's the actual error this time.

Are you going under install zip from sdcard or just pressing reinstall packages? Instructions say to select reinstall packages after you rename it update.zip

I boot into recovery mode. It takes me to the stock recovery mode. Then (with the update.zip and the miui zip in the root) I hit reinstall packages. It takes me to the clockwork recovery. Then I do install zip from sdcard. Trying to install the update.zip or the miui at this point gives me an error and then any kind of restarting will throw it into the reboot cycle.
EDIT:
When do I remove the battery? I do reinstall packages, and then after about a second or two it goes to the clockwork recovery, and then I removed the battery like it said. After I booted into recovery again and it took me to the clockwork recovery again, and then I tried to load the miui and again an error flashing.
EDIT 2:
For some reason Odin back to stock changed my phone to 2.1.. I upgraded it to version 2.2.1 (not using keis). I was able to get much further than normal when flashing the miui.zip.
My phone tries to startup, it gets to the Samsung loading image (which says i9000 under the samsung logo).
After that the screen goes (and stays) black. When I hit any of the buttons on the bottom, they glow white so I know that it is turned on.
I can't see anything on the screen, but I must be able to get it into downloading mode because I can get it to say 'added', and get try to start loading things, but then it starts never actually connets, it just hangs. Any ideas? Getting it back to stock right now would be fine so that it is usable again.
EDIT 3:
Ok, now I can see things again. For those who are wondering...
I had downloaded the 'Galaxy One Click Root' thing to try to root my phone before installing miui like it says. Well there's also a unroot button. I clicked that and I got it to go back into this custom recovery image. Once I did that, I navigated around a little and found something that said switch to Downloading mode. I did that, and then was able to use Odin to get back to stock. The screen is working, and so does the radio. It's back to 2.1 though. hmm..
ok so lets try this from the beginning
go ahead and odin to stock jfd (2.1)
now let phone boot as normal
no worries about letting it sit 10 mins or anything.
ok so you have the cm7 initial kernel as an update.zip correct?
3 button into recovery reinstall packages twice that should load you into clockwork
(orange clockwork menu)
1 Mounts and storage menu
Format system/cache/data (do all 3)
+Go Back+
wipe data/factory reset
Pull battery Or just press and hold all vol up + down + power
back in recovery.
install zip from sd Card
Install the Miui ROM reboot system.
lemme know how it goes.

I was back at stock (which I'm not sure is 100% stock because when I turn on my phone, it has a samsung GT-i9000 image on the screen for a second or two before saying vibrant).
I have the update.zip and the miui on my internal sd root.
To get into recovery it's just the 2 button combo (volume - and power) for me.
I only have to hit reinstall packages once, and it takes me into clockwork.
I format the things you said and did the factory reset....
Pulling the battery and then trying to get back into recovery mode put my phone into a reboot cycle. (screen where it looks like after you do wipe data/factory reset) and then I have to odin back to stock.
The three button combo does the same thing. I can't get to the next step.
EDIT:
After the reboot cycle thing. I was able to get back into recovery mode even after it started its reboot cycle deal. Then I was able to install the miui rom. My phone has been on the Samsung Cyanogenmod boot screen for about 5-10 minutes. Not sure if it is trying to boot up miui or just stuck. I'll let it sit for another 15 minutes before thinking its stuck.
EDIT2:
Yep, It's been about half an hour. My phone is stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen. I can't get it back into recovery or downloading either.
EDIT3:
After some serious playing around. I was able to get it back into recovery mode. Wipe everything, apply the update.zip again... and then was able to get back into downloading mode and reflash it to stock.
Does anyone know how to get to true stock, so I don't have the Galaxy-S GT-i9000 Samsung boot screen. I think that this has to do with why it is failing.
After searching around a lot more...
accidentally flashing an i9000 rom flashed the boot.bin and sbl.bin.
The files to odin back to stock jfd doesn't include the boot.bin or sbl.bin so that's why I get the extra boot screen, and why I 'brick' my phone everytime I try to flash another rom.
Apparently I will brick my phone anytime I try to flash a rom from now on, and that I need to find a boot.bin and sbl.bin combo for the vibrant if I want to be able to flash anything again or get any update past 2.1.
If anybody has any info on how to get this boot.bin and sbl.bin combo could you let me know. I can't find the files anywhere.
Recently decided to try and switch over to CM10, and have been having an issue with recovery. Both of the latest CWM and TWRP recoveries freeze for me after booting into them. The only recovery that works for me is the one that is flashed with the old app by Indirect but that flashes a really old CWM recovery. The recoveries that I have tried flashing are the ones linked to in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 thread. Both http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc.zip and http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/TWRP_v2.3.1.1_emmc.zip are doing it. I have a 16GB that ive kept (rooted) stock forever.
What happens is i go to boot to recovery, go through cyanoboot to recovery, and then CWM freezes up and blackscreens after I try to wipe something or install a zip, TWRP just locks up immediately and gives me a black screen. Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Use this thread to install CWM, I'm not a fan of TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25786947 I used this and had no problems updating

This has been happening to me occasionally. I have found that when I get the black screen, pressing the Power button launches Recovery (CWM in my case). See if that works for you.
I now have the exact same problem. I've always ran off emmc. It says cwm 6.0.1.5 is installed. When I try to either wipe, or install zip-from-sd, cwm freezes then goes to the black screen. I cannot install any zips, so right now the tablet has nothing installed only a freezing cwm recovery it seems. I can use the power button to get out of the black screen and into cwm thru cyanoboot all day, but get nothing but these same steps reoccurring. Freeze, then black sod. I'm ready to try anything but cannot flash anything.
To the rescue
Ok, I have posted this on a different day. Try this with a blank sd card. Look at the bottom post called "Here is a video"
It a external boot cwm v.5 but you can copy this into your sd then flash and you have cwm v6.0.1.5 internal. Either way you have two ways to do recovery (external and internal):victory:

Thanks very much for the reply & link!
I'll do this ASAP when I get back home & report. Thx again!

Well, I think I need to clarify more. Maybe somebody can help if I give more info. I've had cm7 running perfect, then decided to install cm10. I first flashed a cwm 6.0.1.5 zip to emmc. I did a factory reset via this recovery thinking my next move would be to flash the cm10 zip I'd put on the sd. No joy. This is where I'm at now.
In recovery it freezes and reboots to the "2 androids" screen with a sod. I hold power for 20 sec.s to turn off, then turn back on and get to cyanoboot fine. There, if it's allowed to just boot it freezes at the 2 androids. If I hold "n" to get the menu and recovery (6.0.1.5) it looks normal, will boot to recovery OK until anything is selected like the cm10 zip. It freezes before any selections can be finalized, and boots to that sod screen.
I know nothing of ubuntu! Sorta scared to go there with my limited knowledge. But will read up if it's required. Is it possible that this new recovery image don't play with what is currently on the sd? Is there anything I can put there that it may recognize in order to get a flash? Man, I'm lost!
Look pass the fear and go one step at a time, before you know it, your there.
It looks like you have already resolved this from this thread.
Ok, basically I'll go step by step.
1. Download ubuntu iso from ubuntu website (you can donate or put 0$ then download iso) and burn it to cd. 5 minutes
2. Stick the cd into a system that you don't plan to look at the video that is showing you the process and boot it up from a reboot and not from within windows. Select the left square which basically load the ubunbu from cd but does not install anything to your hard drive.3 minutes
3. You can view the whole video but I would skip to the section in video (3:28 watch to 4:43, 6:56 watch to 8:06 ) where I mentioned the setting the two flags in your sd after quick format fat32 and extracting the four files into your sd within ms windows platform from the post . I did this with a normal mini sd card adapter and not the usb stick adapter he used in the video. Since you are doing this to a blank mini sd then there really nothing to worry about since it is blank in the first place. 2 minute
4. If you had your apps backup with titanium backup then it still will be on the main mini sd and not the one that working with for this recovery.
5. I notice you did not mention wipe dalvik cache from your post. You should always wipe dalvik then wipe factory then do a single flash to test boot up.. You can flash gapps after a successful boot up into jellybean. (here's a video showing that I'm using external cwm v.5 even though its recommended to use v.6 .) You can always use cwm v.6 on your next cm10 test rom or use cwm v.6 to reflash to same rom once a successful boot up have been obtained with external cwm v.5. This purpose is to get it running on your nt.
6. Be patient for the first boot. Should not be more than 5 minutes max. It will look black then load. If it boot loops then wipe dalvik then wipe factory and do a single flash to test boot up again.
This will at least get cm 10 flavored rom on to your nt.

Got it back! Thank you for your help & patience. Also for the timely responses. I now have a bootable "recovery sd card" for curing these type problems. I've labeled it & filed away for any future borks of this kind! And I have cm10 up & running stable.
Thank you!

Hello.
So today, I was gonna install a new rom. So the first thing I did was to use the Clockworkmod recovery app on my phone to reboot in to recoverymode, now Im stuck in a weird bootloop where it tries to enter recoverymode but fails then goes back to the samsunglogo, restarts and tries recoverymode again, and it just keeps restarting trying to get in to recoverymode.
I have tried installing another recovery but it does the same no matter what recovery I use.
I have tried removing the battery and putting it back in it still wants to boot in to recovery and it still fails.
Please help me! :/

Hello, after reinstalling the different recoverys a few times I finally got in to it and was able to install another rom, now my phone works.
Thank you though for trying to help!
Be careful, if it's accidently works. I recommend to flash TWRP 2.8.3 by Odin.
Hey guys I need some help. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 with NK1. I rooted it by flashing back to NC5 and then rooting then flashing back to NK1, that part worked perfectly fine. I then wanted to install a recovery so I used the CWM app and thats where things went wrong. After doing so it said it did it successfully but when I clicked boot into recovery so I can install CM12 it did not boot into recovery it instead booted straight to the Odin screen with the Android logo in the middle and below it saying "Downloading", and also has the text in the top left corner.
I am hoping someone has an answer on how to fix this.
Thanks!
Also to add onto that I am able to boot up my phone normally its not that its stuck in a boot loop where I can't get past that point. It only happens when I try to go into recovery mode that it take me to the Odin screen. When I do the steps for booting into Recovery it shows the samsung logo and then the blue text that usually comes up in the top left corner flashes for a millisecond and then the screen transitions to the Odin screen

Yessir I installed it, what would be the next step?
Read how to use it. If you installed the recovery (not just the apk), reboot your phone and you'll see the screen and directions how to enter ss recovery.
From there you'll be able to wipe your phone.
Not sure how it'll work with you trying to install cwm. If this doesn't work, odin'ing back to stock and starting over might be your next option (unless someone else can suggest something)
Aslo, if you're stuck in that boot, you can pull the battery,
then hold the volume down, home and power to get the the download screen,
choose restart the phone
this worked for me when I was in a boot loop
This won't fix your recovery mode issue though, but you'll be able to use your phone in the mean time
