Everything's been smooth so far in regards to my vibrant modification but I noticed something today that might cause problems in the future
Im running stock rom with kingxkernel 3 and ryans oclf
I can get into clockwork recovery through rom manager without a problem (that's how I've been doing it) but if I go into recovery mode using the hardware keys it brings me to the stock recovery..any suggestions? ??? I know in the very beginning I had to choose reinstall packages and then it showed up but I was afraid to do that again before asking in case it screws up my phone

clockwork recovery doesn't replace stock recovery on the vibrant.
If you manually enter recover, you have to do the "reinstall packages" part in the stock recovery which will then load the clockwork recovery.
Oh okay thanks for the reply!

Dont you still need the update.zip in there?

yes, you still need the clockworkmod recovery file (aka update.zip) in order to load clockworkmod recovery.

Did you root your phone?
Check to make sure your phone is rooted
Clockwork recovery mod is installed
Have latest version of super user app installed
Later version of Busy box installed.
Then try the clockwork recovery option. All these files are available for download in android market, except for the clockwork mod tool which can be downloaded from the development section bible thread.
I figured it uninstalled rom manager and deleted all clockwork mod files then re-installed rom manager and re flashed clockwork and now it works but thanks for the reply

i had rom manager on my phone and flashed clockwork mod but for some reason it didnt install right so i had to delete everything then reinstall it again

it worked? how did you have the clockwork mod? through the rom manager?
A lot of times if people flash back to stock, they'll use the OCLF to get the file to root the phone which'll overwrite the clockwork update.zip
Or if the update.zip was deleted, corrupted, replaced, etc.
Since we're not actually replacing the recovery, we're a little more dependent on the file remaining on the SD card, which kind of sucks, but it does make it easier to get back to full stock if you need warranty work done.
^ exactly right. Best practice is to rename the update.zip first, then rename it back. I put these steps in the sticky just in case someone reads this with the same issue.
I'm having problems getting into clockwork recovery. When I go to clockwork recovery, and click boot into recovery, it just goes to the samsung recovery, and not the clockwork recovery. This has happened before when I would try it, and when I did it a second time, it would load the clockwork recovery. I'm trying to get into the clockwork recovery to clear my battery stats, as I just flashed Bionix Froyo Obsidian V3.0. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to hit reinstall packages from the samsung recovery? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah just hit reinstall packages I read that with the new 2.2 roms its a lil bug no big deal it will be fixed. For me it reboots twice before heading into clock work! Hope I've helped.

Thanks for the reply , and I tried to use the "reinstall packages" and it goes through the installation, but brings me back to the samsung recovery console. I then tried to reboot the phone, and then tried again (using clockwork recovery console), but it still boots into the samsung recovery. This kind of scares me, because I flash my roms using this method. Any other ideas?

reinstall clockwork from rom manager
Thanks a million!!! I updated to a lower version, and tried to reboot into clockwork recovery, and when I hit update packages, it hung, so I had to reboot, then update to the latest version, and rebooted into recovery mode, hit update packages, and now I have my clockwork recovery back. Thank you so much.

I am running Onyx 4.2
when I hit reinstall package it reboots me into android and does not bring me back to the recovery menu
so i have a samsung epic and no matter what i do i cant get clockwork to work ive had other ppl look at how have custom rom on there phone
the problem i have is when i try to install the update for clockwork it tells me that whole file signature failed and wont go any farther and i try to intall it from my computer but as well it came up whit a error and it wont work
I tried searching the forum, but I couldn't find an answer. My phone works fine, not bricked or anything. The only thing is that it won't boot to clockwork recovery so I can't flash any ROMs or anything. I would have to use ODIN. In Clockwork app if I select "Reboot into clockwork recovery", it just goes to stock Vibrant recovery screen.
The ROM I'm currently on is Axura 2.0.5.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
Did you make sure to flash cwr and select vibrant for the phone?
Also, did you click on reinstall packages when it brings you to stock recovery? Usually you have to install packages twice to get you there....
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah CWR is installed.
I haven't reinstalled packages though. Should I have anything on my SD card before I do it?
No, just reinstall. It might have you do it twice. after it should take you in cwr so you can flash whatever.

You have to select reinstall packages, and it will go to the blue recovery again, then press reinstall packages again and clockwork should boot up everytime.
So i just have to keep on reinstalling packages until cwm works?? I think i will lose my superuser etc.. What zip file do i have to put on my intrnal card?

Once u are rooted you done need update.zip for root
What if i already rooted my phone using super one click root on my froyo 2.2? Do I still have to update? By update.zip?

After you used super one click root, delete that update.zip file that it places in your internal memory.
Then download rom manager, click flash clockwork-mod recovery and it should say boot into the blue recovery. In there click reinstall packages, and if it takes yiu to the blue screen again, click reinstall packages one more time and you should boot into clockwork from now on.
Ok thank you master and slave one more question do I still have to install the unzip thing from my internal sd? Or not a any more?

Since you are on 2.2, you need the modified 3e recovery. Then you should be able to get into CWM.
Or you can just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 and Odin back to 2.1 and not have any issues updating your ROM.
Reading all the guides helps alot with these questions.

The method I was giving you was for 2.1
Its easier to root from 2.1.
But the thread above should help
Another route around 3e recovery is to use a Voodoo kernel, because those have CWM baked right in. I recommend this because for whatever reason I couldn't get modded 3e recovery working.

odin back to stock as people have said 2.1 is easier to root and then do as ur told with root and cwr!
MIUI 110281 Glitch-V12
When I use RomManager to go into recovery the phone uses ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.8 (orange color) . And I can't do anything with this. If I select anything I just get the little top-hat
When I use the reboot menu to go into recovery I get the Glitch Kernel - CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4. This one works great! I would like to only have the Glitch Recovery if possible.
When I use the 3 finger method I get CwM Voodoo LagFix Recovery v2.5.1.x I flashed this with Odin a while back. I get a host of errors regarding mount. To get any where I have to 'apply sdcard:update.zip' which of corse takes me to ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.8 and I have the same mount errors...but I am able to select menu items.
Questions:
Is it possible to have the phone only use the Glitch CwM recovery regardless of recovery method?
How can I get the latest CwM recovery to replace the older CwM Voodoo Lagfix?
Is this normal or do I need to take my phone to a psychiatric hospital?
This is completely normal. MTD roms use a different recovery and just leave the old orange one on there. It doesn't work at all, gives the errors you have seen. Nobody really knows how to make the 3-finger thing go into the right recovery. Just use rom manager or whatever to get the right one.
Got it. Glad I am not the only one! Thanks for the answer
From what I have been able to figure out the 3-finger recover is what ever you flash with ODIN.. I'm kinda new so I cant point you to the right files, but an ODIN flashable recovery is what you want

No. Not at all. He either needs to reboot to recovery with the reboot options aka holding the power button or using adb reboot recovery. If he flashes an mtd recovery with odin. His phone wont get passed recovery and have to start from scratch.
