Hello. I've a annoying problem with both ROM Manager and Clockwork Mod. My Legend won't boot up in neither ROM Manager nor Clockwork Mod when i tires to run a back up, launch Clockwork Mod Recovery or to install a new ROM. The booting just stops at an image of a Hero/Legend with a red triangle over it, and won't continue. Then I have to remove the battery to start up the phone again. What can I do get it fixed? Do I have to re-root?
Would be happy for some help!
Do you have the clockwork update.zip in the root of your SD? If so try pushing volume up and power in order to use fake-flash and start recovery manually.

Thanks for your answer, but nothing happend when I tries to power up the phone when I'm holding the volume button up. I have the update.zip file on the SD btw.
It's kinda annoying that the phone won't boot when I tries to do these thing, since I was about to go from Froyo Sense til CM6.1.

ugh, no no no you goose . hold the vol button down and power on and then go to "recovery". then on THAT screen you hold the vol button up with the power button and then go to apply update.zip
Aha, sorry then. It starts to be a while since I rooted, so I had forgotten how to start in that mode. But thanks for the help, I'll try it out!
Thank you guys, it worked! Backups my ROM now, and will install CM 6.1 tonight or tomorrow.

Guys,
Go to this website and download elegos' rom manager. It actually works on the streak. When you hit the boot into recovery option just hold down on the volume up and down button at the same time and you can enter customer recovery of your choice without fastbooting. I flashed streakmod's customer recovery using fast boot and elegos's app gets to it without connecting to your computer. You can perform rom updates, backups, and installs with this app. Its very cool. Check it out
http://www.elegosproject.org/android-rom-updater
**EDIT** I have since found that I am able to boot into custom recovery without this app.... I still think this app is very cool if you supply some cool repo's...
Thank you, it may be the tool and push I needed to start flashing on Android.
I was a pro in WM. Well, all you had to do was to copy file over to SD and restart the phone in update mode...so I was a pro on it, flashing very regularly.
For some reason Android seems much more complicated to get my head around.
Thanks again for sharing the knowledge
you mean, you installed this and you're still booting into streakmod with the volume buttons, so if you reset the phone without running the apps and hold the volume buttons down you will still get to the same screen....
the great thing about clockwork is that it was meant to do it all for you. just pick the rom in the os and away you go!
If you have to reboot and hold volume up and down to go into recovery then its not a rom manager, just a tool for rebooting. I can do the same thing on my streak now with rom manager and clockwork. Rom manager should do everything for you once you select update rom without the need to go into the recovery menu yourself.

guys, clockword rom manager has never worked on the streak... when you click boot into recovery it just restarts the phone and does nothing... 95% of all other phones when you click the boot into recovery it just goes with no button pushing. On the streak the button pushing won't even work with rom manager/clockwork. With this rom manager the reboot into recovery option gets you into streakmod custom recovery with vol up and vol down... Previously, I had to fastboot command my way into custom recovery.
Have you guys been having luck with rom manager booting into recovery by using the vol up and vol down? doesn't work for me... even after flashing the so called fix in the streak development forum

never, i just have streakmod flashed and use the button method, have a reboot shortcut on my furthest screen. works for me.
Look at "StreakMod". It is a custom ClockworkMod that fits the Streak. The first time you flash StreakMod, you need a computer to do it.
But, from there, it is as simple as downloading the Rom to your SD card, then rebooting holding the volume buttons, select the Rom, and it does the rest. StreakDroid (aka DJ_Steve's custom ROM) has an additional step of letting you pick what options you want on your device by way of editing an "install.txt" file on your SD card, but you can probably do that without a computer, too, if you want.
Cool.. thanks. I will admit that I have apparently been doing something wrong. You guys rock
recently soft bricked my new AT&T S2.I have clockwork recovery installed (4.0.0.2), and the only buttons that work are home (goes back to the first menu), volume up/down, and power to hide the menus. I can't select anything at all, it seems like I have the international version of the recovery, not one for the S2.Anyways, I can't get into download mode by holding down the home + Vol up+ power, and Odin can't seem to connect to my phone if it's in clockwork recovery and not download mode.Would the jig work? Or is having no ability to boot into download mode pretty much a killer? I can access my phone through ADB, I just don't know my way around adb as well as I would like.Is there any way to flash a different recovery via ADB? Any other solutions to get my phone up and running again? Because right now it's not booting at all.
EDIT: Managed to get back into the system. It's running the International ROM instead of mine though, so the buttons are wonky. Does anyone know where I can find the ODIN files to flash back to stock AT&T S2?

:facepalm:
First off, that's not how you get into download mode. Turn the phone off, hold both VOLUME BUTTONS ONLY, and plug in the USB cable.
With my phone, If I hold down both volume buttons and power on, it goes to clockwork recovery. If I turn the phone on holding the volume up and the home button, it goes to download (now).
I fixed that issue already though, the problem at hand is that I have the i9100 boot and firmware on here, and need the stock Odin files to fix. Can't find the files though. : /

...me too....
WOW DISREGARD - too stupid to realize soft buttons work with CWM recovery. They didn't before...very premature post, my apologies
For the bootloop, I selected Advanced in CWM recovery, and then selected "Fix permissions" then I installed update from SD card. Now it works! Back to being a noob and hating my life.
-----------
I seem to have bricked my phone too...I was using ROM manager to install cm9 update (yeah, I NOW know I should not have used ROM manager). I used ODIN to re-flash cwm recovery enabled kernel. I can go to recovery, but it does not let me select any of the menu options. And when I boot the phone, it still sends me into a bootloop.
One time it did say "signature verification failed" but it doesn't say that anymore, it just doesn't move. I've read around about signature verification issues, but I haven't found anything that gets me anywhere.
I know this is pretty noobish, but I really appreciate any help!
HELP!!! I installed shostock rom that worked well for sometime….however yesterday when I went running, I was listening to audio and at the same time I was using an app called Mapmyrun, The phone then suddenly just died. No matter what I pressed it wouldn’t come on. Eventually it did come back on after I pressed the volume up button along with the power button and the home button together and at the same time putting the battery back in. Since then I can’t make a call without using the speaker and while trying to play audio, the audio sticks. I decided I needed to reinstall rom or even try a new one but discovered the phone will not boot into clock work mod. When I try the phone just goes dead again and I then have to do the whole volume up button along with the power button and the home button together and at the same time putting the battery back in again. How do I get CWM again so I can wipe?
So holding down the power button doesn't pull up the boot to Recovery option?
What version of Shostock are you running?
XWLP7-SHOstock2-v2.2.2
Now I've actually got it to go to cmw by holding volume up and down together while pressing the home button and replacing the battery simultaneously. When Itry to reboot however it just goes dead and I have to do the whole process again. How do I get it to reboot?

What phone do you have?
EDIT: XWLP7? I9100?
You're flashing a I777 rom on a I9100?
Alright, you get closer.
At first you said you lost CwMR, then you described how to get into CwMR a totally wrong way, then you got in CwMR eventually.
I suggest you spend time and read more on those threads created by creepy. He shows you everything from how to get into the Download mode, how to get into the 3e, .......
Also, fundamental thing, do list your device info if you want more useful help.
Back to your stage, you said you got into CwMR successfully, then reboot???
Have you done anything when you got there? reflashing? wiping? ...... or just got there and reboot and did nothing else?
So I decided to go ahead and root my player. Then I found this custom rom and followed their instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517194
It keeps on bootlooping my device, and even though installed steves kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377771
(which contains CWM) I cannot boot CWM recovery from boot.
It booted up a few times in CWM recovery, but now it doesnt want to. Since then ive tryed flashing steves kernal sveral times to see if I can get it to work. It hasn't.
I really just want to get my device back to stock, I have a stock rom but it still gets stuck in a bootloop.
Help!

I figued out how to get into recovery mode (power button + hold up volume). Now to figure out how to fix the bootloop....(I tried followign th instructions here but to no avail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596)
FIXED
OK i managed to fix my own problem. I installed steves kernel, cleared the cash and the dalvik-cache. Then I flashed the stock rom and wiped all data(reset the factory settings) and then cleared the cashe.
Then my device booted up properly. :good:
Glad to hear you fixed it

You get into Clockwork mod by turning off the device. Then Hold power, Volume up, and the settings (the one to the left of the home button) at the same time. Sometimes you have to let go when the samsung logo appears and then hold it again

could you give more incorrect info, the CORRECT steps for entering CWM (or stock if not using a custom kernel) is to power device completely off, wait for the vibrate to indicate shutdown. Then press and hold volume up and the power button, once the samsung logo comes on release only the power button, do not release the volume up, continue holding volume up until CWM loads.

On my 4.0 US I don't hold the volume any longer than the power button to get into CWM--i.e., I let both go at the samsung logo, and it goes in.

That's how I always entered CWM or the stock one lol. It works for me. Also another way I did it was wait until the samsung logo appears and then hold power + volume up at the same time. I didn't let go of either the power button or volume up button, and just waited for it to come on.
Next time for a better result Go to a stock rom and Flash a kernel with odin. best way to Install CWM perfectly.
like Terra Silet, i have Gplayer 4 and Rooted This Kernel One Milion time
hey guys.. i finally decided to change the laggy stock rom to the latest cm11 mod
installation was okay and all.. when the phone started, it kept saying keyboard stopped working
okay i figured that i copied the wrong gapps .. now comes the real problem,
i tried to boot into recovery by holding power and up/down both didnt work
is there a tool to flash the cmw into my phone from my pc then patch the right gapps?
my phone is pretty useless now so please any answer should help thanks.
This is an idea i give you, i don´t know if your home button or power button are working fine but i had that problem when i started this rom installing addiction, my home button was a little damaged so if i want to enter to recovery i have to press it hard. Maybe you should give it a try pressing harder the buttons. Just an idea.
@medothe1: you are more efficiant, if u use the usual buttons to start recovery: power & louder & menu.
When logo bootloader appears, release power-button.
Can get to settings
