Do at your own risk, I'm not responsible for damage to your phone. I dunno everyone says that, so I might as well.
clockworkmod recovery is nothing more than an update.zip that you apply.
-place the update.zip onto internal 16gb root
-reboot phone into recovery mode
-choose reinstall packages
-phone might reboot and go back into normal recovery, dont worry, just reinstall packages one more time, you should now be in cwm.
Here is the update.zip for cwm I uploaded for you on sendspace. Download and apply at your own risk, I'm not responsible for damage to your phone.

Thanks it worked
I tried the same thing but when i was installing the update.zip from recovery mode i got an error. There was a droid picture with an exclamation mark by it. Any suggestions? do you have to have already installed odin to get these .zip files to install from recovery mode
make sure its the update.zip from rom manager. download a copy of the CWM file and rename it update.zip and make sure there is no other "update.zip" in the root of your sd card.
signature error
Why would I get a signature error ? Thanks for all the hard work..

so i just bought a vibrant with firmware 2.1 update 1 and the build ends with ji6.
i was able to root the device with no problems and now that i installed rom manager i cant seem to install clockwork recovery. every time i click on it on rom manager noting happens. Is there another way for me to install clockwork recovery ? i searched everywhere. please any help would be most appreciated
i had the same problem yesterday, ROM manager pretty much just downloads an update.zip file, so when you hit reinstall packages it takes you to CWM... well i have the newest version of the update.zip file i could find (still outdated).... but after you flash a new ROM the clockwork mod should be installing fine, it did for me..
so i attached the update.zip file that i found.. so just put this in your sd card (not in any files), delete any update.zip files you may have and then rename this to update .... it will automatically turn to update.zip... then just reboot into recovery then hit reinstall packages -- then it should work
wow thanks that did the job.now it if isnt a much of a bother but can i flash to a custom mod 2.2 axura and then unlock? cause the unlocker cant seem to find a unlock code
Tried to flash TW4.1 Voodoo and I can't get Clockwork recovery to function. It always fails with this error.
Where can I get a recovery update zip to allow me to flash?
I'm coming from the leaked JL5 Froyo (stock) and I want to go to 4.1
It says I have 3e recovery and from my searching, I find that it seems I need an update zip for an older recovery to allow me to flash. Is that correct?
Which file should I use and how do use it?
Edit::
Is it THIS? Can I use this with Froyo, since it doesn't flash the Kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164
Thanks for any and all help.
The stock 3e recovery has issues with verifying the checksums of the zip files.
ODIN is your best option.
So I need to:
1. Odin to 2.1 using pit file and Stock 2.1 eclair tar
2. Reinstall ROM Manager and CW recovery?
3. Flash the ROM?
you can turn signature verification off in clockwork recovery. i don't remember exactly where the setting is, but it's not hard to find.

I wish I could get there, but my only menu options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd card
I can't do anything else. I see Install ROM from SD Card in the application, but that's it. It seems that I'm in the Android standard 3e recovery rather than the CWMOD.
Is it possible, or do I have to go all the way back to 2.1 via Odin, reinstall CWMOD, etc. etc.?
Follow the instructions located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164 if you have root. If you do not its a tad more explanation and difficult.
You can use one click root to root your JL5 easily.
Won't that Kernel brick me, since I'm coming from 2.2 and it's a 2.1 kernel?
I am totally unable to get into CWMOD recovery. Only the stock recovery is working.
The instructions are to ODIN this kernel and:
Download ROM Manager from the Market. (Done)
Flash Recovery. (Done)
Choose Vibrant as your phone. (Done)
Accept the Superuser prompt. (Done)
On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. (It doesn't start...ever and I've done it about 25 times now)
You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.''
Watch the backup go! (I wish)
I'm drawing a blank on what TW4.1 is. Do you mean Nero?

I have been trying this for about an hour, but I can't get into CWMOD recovery. I can only get into stock. Which update zip file needs to be on my SD?

Yes, sorry. Nero's TouchWiz 4.1
Still can't get out of stock recovery and into ClockworkMod recovery.
when you install rom manager (the app from the market), you can install clockwork recovery through it. when you install clockwork recovery it puts an 'update.zip' on your internal memory. hitting 'reinstall packages' from stock recovery then reinstalls clockwork. so by reinstalling clockwork through rom manager, it makes sure you have the right update.zip and thus making it able to boot into clockwork recovery. so try uninstalling rom manager, reinstalling, and reinstalling clockwork.

Did all of the above. Reinstall packages still fails as described. Only stock recovery works. CWMOD doesn't.
Ok You have to root (try superoneclick v1.5.5)
After that you have to look for the thred to convert 3e recovery into 2e

I'm already rooted. I just don't know how to use those files you referenced. Do I manually replace the update.zip file with one of these?
I've got to replace the update.zip with this, but which one?
mod_jk6_recovery.zip (1.06 MB)
update.zip (897.5 KB)
It seems I need to rename the "mod_jk6_recovery.zip" to "recovery" and replace my current recovery move it from /sdcard to /system/bin
Is that corrrect?
Need to UNDO SGS Tools
I've tried all this and nothing works. I installed SGS Tools and used the Contacts mod. Unfortunately, It force closes my contacts now before I can even see them. I don't know how to undo this action. I'd like to reinstall 2.2 but, Kies won't let me. Where/How can I convert back to Eclair to wipe whatever SGS Tools has done to my phone?
I got a Vibrant last night..
I rooted it. I see superuser icon so I know it has been rooted. Next, I downloaded clockworkmod and then did flash recovery and picked vibrant. And then I picked install from SD card and picked the cfw I wanted to install. It rebooted to Android recovery mode. There I picked reinstall packages and installed the update.bin (again) and rebooted the phone..
Then, I used the ODIN 1.7 to flash back to the default and did the whole process all over again but I can't seem to get into Clockworkmod recovery mode...

nope.. it says "E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad) installation aborted" when there is clearly an update.zip file there..
Ok this is probably a noob question,
i have a vibrant 2.2 tmobile, i just did the 3e recovery mod so that i could root the phone, i finally got it rooted and Im positive it is (terminal emulator says # when i type su,and superuser is working so Im pretty sure its rooted) so when i go into rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery it always says it works but i cant get into the new recovery only the stock and i cant backup my original rom, does anyone know how to fix this so i can get into clockworkmod recovery?
Im new to rooting so sorry if this is a extremely noob question.
from stock recovery, select "reinstall packages"
I tried reinstalling the packages from the stock recovery but it takes me back to the stock recovery, Ive tried that many times but i never get the clockworkmod recovery, i have no idea why it wont enter the clockworkmod recovery? Can i install it without rom manager?
Download "update.zip" that is attached to this post....place it on the ROOT of your sdcard (not in any folders)
now this is the voodoo edition of clockwork....we are going to want to disable this to avoid issues (sorry, i dont have a normal clockwork available). so also download the disable voodoo .zip attached to this post.
DONT UNZIP EITHER FILE. DOWNLOAD THEM, AND PLACE THEM BOTH ON YOUR SDCARD AS IS!!
follow these instructions exactly:
1. place both files on root of sd
2. reboot into stock recovery
3. "reinstall packages"
3a. if it brings the red clockwork recovery, move onto step 4.
3b. if you dont see clockworkmod, choose reinstall packages again...if you see it move onto step 4.
3c. if you still dont see it, i cant help you further
4. now that you are in clockwork, DONT REBOOT OR FLASH ANYTHING YET, we need to disable voodoo
5. in clockwork choose "install zip from sdcard"
6. choose "choose zip from sdcard"
7. scroll to the disable voodoo zip and select that...confirm install, select "yes"
8. it should take less than a second, youll see "installation complete". (if you see "installation aborted" dont worry, just move on with the steps...see my explanation below)
9. Reboot before flashing anything, very important
10. you are now ready to flash using clockwork mod
PS - im not sure if youre familiar with voodoo, what it is/how it works....but the disable voodoo zip is just a precaution. im not sure if voodoo is built into this edition of clockwork, or if you actually have to have a voodoo kernel to actually be able to activate it. even though i think you need to have a compatible kernel, its better to play it safe.
with that said THERE IS A POSSIBLILTY THAT WHEN YOU FLASH THE DISABLE VOODOO, YOU MAY GET "INSTALLATION ABORTED"....dont worry continue on with teh steps, that just means that voodoo does not actually exist for you, which is probably ideal anyway
It still didn't work, i must be doing something Ive tried everything but it just wont go to clockworkmod.

Have you tried the toolbox?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
No i haven't tried toolbox yet but ill give it a shot.
I had a similar issue...
Are you getting the error "signature verification failed"?
No I haven't gotten a single error message, i flash clockworkmod recovery and it says success, I reboot into recovery i get the stock recovery, so Ive tried reinstall packages several times and i never get an error message although when I do hit reinstall packages it goes through in like 2 seconds but It never lets me into clockworkmod.
Use AIO Toolbox (recomended) -> install USB Vibrant drivers (if you don't have them, included with AIO Toolbox) and flash stock 2.1 rom (included in AIO Toolbox), after that use rom manager (from market) and install clockwork recovery, then download any kernel (for 2.1 rom of course) with root and flash it thru already installed CWM or flash ANY rooted custom rom - that's all (and it will take about 0,5h - not big deal).
toolbox is the way to go it will do everything for you just simply follow the steps from top to bottom. and you will be fine but before you go with tool box do read the noob guide it will surely make u understand the functionality of the toolbox. good luck
Hmmm......
Ok ill give that a try hopefully that will work.

This is the issue I am getting, even when using the files mentioned on this post.
How did you solve this problem?
EDIT: Just used the AIO Toolkit, restored to stock, rooted, installed ROM Manager, then went ahead and installed my custom ROM! HoneyGinger is talking to me and getting itself set up. Lovely!
Hey guys,
I was running 2.2 on my vibrant and was having issues with cwm as well. I followed the advice here and it worked great. Flashed Nero v3 and my phone is running like a champ!
Thanks again to everyone for their expertise.

I had this same problem hopefully this works
Hi guys,
I have unlocked my bootloader a few days ago, and also installed the CWM recovery, which I used to install the ATT 2.3.4 ROM (I own an International Atrix), and it was working flawlessly. Being annoyed by that bunch of bloatware, I decided to install the Alien-ROM, so I wiped data with fastboot -w, and entered CWM to erase the cache partition/dalvik cache and install Alien. The problem is, when I tried to install the .zip package, CWM threw at me "Installation Aborted", with no error message whatsoever, just before "Beginning Installation". At first I thought my .zip was corrupted, so I re-downloaded it and tried again, but got the same error.
Being unable to install the AlienROM, I fastbooted the ORFR ROM (surely a lot cleaner than ATT's) and installed the ROM manager app, and through it, updated my CWM to the latest version. And then there I was trying to install the .zip again, with no success. As a last effort, I uninstalled manually the install-recovery.sh file and the recovery partition, reinstalled Tenfar's CWM, but fell into the same error: "Installation Aborted".
Does someone have a clue of that is happening??
Thanks in advance.
Rom manager recovery does not work always.what I suggest is use tenfar recovery and then put alien zip on your ext.SD card and use tenfar recovery --- choose zip from SD card--- browse and select alien.zip and flash through it.
Hope this helps.
Well, I tried to install Tenfar's CWM, as I said at the end of my first post. I recently installed a new CWM-based recovery, and it also failed to install any .zip. Could it be because I'm using ORFR ROM? I've noticed the misbehaving os CWM when I uninstalled ATTs ROM...
Install rom racer's recovery.
I voided my warranty.
Use this link: romracer's custom CWM
Let us know if this helps

How are you installing RomRacer's CWM? Flashing the .zip or via fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I've installed it through fastboot, as it's the only way I can do it... my problem resides solely on the fact that I can't install any .zip through it, I keep getting "Installation aborted", no matter what I try to install (Kernels/ROMs/etc)
Pedrohz... Are you using a Mac? If so do you have it set to unzip after downloading? Then are you re-zipping the file before you try to install? If so turn off the unzip feature. Just a thought... Hope it helps
Similar Issue, can't boot into anything :/ if you can help, read below :S
Ok, so I backed up using Oringinal CWM, and it said all OK. After this, I restored the backup, just to check all was working. I got the error error formatting /system. Rebooting, I found that my phone wouldn't boot. Thinking the only way out was to flash a new ROM, I flashed the new boot.img from evals Orange France 2.3.4 firmware, so that I would have the ram fix. After this, I wiped all the caches and the user data, and tried to install the ROM.
SAME FRIGGEN ERROR. no error code, just installation aborted.
Finally, I tried AGAIN with romracers cwm, but same error. Restoring from backup now gives the error - "Unable to flash new boot.img" or something along those lines.
If anyone cares, heres what my phones running
Firmware = Orange UK 4.4.20 (Android 2.2.2)
