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....

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.

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!

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

how can you have that clockwork mod? you need to use the rom manager then flash the clockwork mod?
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.
So I recently flashed to aospish_jk2_v1.0. Works just fine. But I wanna goof around with some other roms. But when I try to flash to other roms or my previous stock backup, it goes into the recovery flashing screen for about 2 seconds. Then the phone restarts and I'm in recovery. When I reboot the phone I'm still on the same rom..what should I do? Try to use odin to flash another rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
are you flashing though the clock work recovery? Is the recovery letters blue or green?
I've found the best way to go between roms is always Odin back to stock, then install the new rom. That seems to prevent most problems.

I used rom manager to flash. But when in recovery letters are blue and it says android system recovery. So I'm assuming clockwork recovery actually hasn't installed?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You need to open rom manager and flash the CW recovery... from rom manager then click on flash to CWR... it will take you to stock recovery, click on reinstall packages.
now you are at CWR and can flash new rom.
Ah. My problem was that I never flashed ce recovery properly. Thanks guys.

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.

tried that but it still booting to the blue txt and the install tells me that it failed to verify whole- file signature. is there anything that i can try???
odin back to stock as people have said 2.1 is easier to root and then do as ur told with root and cwr!
Im rooted on 2.2 and it wont go into recovery just the stock recovery. I have rom manager and clockwork recovery but it never goes into the green recovery. I have an update zip and ive done the the rienstall thing on the stock recovery but after that it reboots the phone. Ive been there before when i was on 2.1. Now this is just a fun phone its not the one i use. I put the 2.2 on through odin. I could not update through kies i think because its not an active phone. Ever since that i cant get into recovery to flash roms.

2.2 is a pain to flash recovery on. Just Odin to 2.1 and do it. Or search modded 3e recovery
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Did you reinstall packages twice? The first time it will reboot back into stock recovery. Reinstall packages again and it should then go to the green CWM recovery. Oh, and by the way, avoid Kies like the plague. It's notorious for bricking phones.
