Rom manager wont flash clockwork recovery - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just flashed my vivbrant balk too the stock rom using ODIN and following.the directions here on XDA. After flashing I installed my rom manager and rom manager premium key, and rooted my phone.
I pressed flash clockworkmod recovery, and tried to backup my rom. The phone just rebooted, I tried again, same thing happened, no backups show in rom manager, so I tried installing bionix final r1, (install from sd card) the phone shuts off and goes to the Stock recovery screen, then reboots.
What the heck is up with rom manager? Ive never had any problems with it before.
I even formated my phone and flashed AGAIN. I also tried older andbeta versions of clockworkmod. Please help! I need it!
Much appreciated.

Hmm. Phone only seems to like one rom

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?

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?

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.

[Q] Can't get to Clockwork Recovery

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.

Problem flashing clockworkmod recovery

Hello,
I have just rooted my phone and am now attempting to get a custom recovery on it. After rooting, I downloaded rom manager and selected flash clockworkmod. A message came up and said it was successful, however when I try booting into recovery it goes to the stock android recovery. Any idea on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.
Thanks
Your problem is that you can't install CWM via ROM manager. The success message you saw was that it downloaded an update.zip file properly, nothing more. ROM Manger is also completely worthless for our phones.
How should I go about flashing clockwork then?
Odin via pda

Also download cmw 3 it has deify scripting n that's gonna be the future of what roms will be using

Read the stickies in the Development section, just so that you don't accidentally rush it and mess up.

[Q] Can't access CWM

Ok, i rooted last night with SuperOneClick (psneuter) and I installed ROM Manager and flashed the Vibrant Recovery.. But now I can't access CWM, i just go into stock recovery. any ideas as to why?
Try reflashing it with rom manager, then when you to reboot into recovery you will likely have to select reinstall packages at least once when you boot into your regular recovery. Until you flash a custom rom this is likely the route that you will have to take each time you boot into CWM
Odin back to stock 2.1, then root with eclair guide. Install the update package twice and the blue recovery should turn green.

Hmm odd what stock rom are you using? Ie ka5? Jk2? Etc. If you are running any stock froyo rom then as movieaddict said you will want to Odin back to 2.1 jfd which has 2e recovery instead of 3e, now I know there is a way to modify 3e recovery to make it work like 2e but iI'm not familiar with the process, search the vibrant development section and you should be able to find the mod there

if he rooted using superone click, it's good guess he's running 2.2. Also, if he can't get into CWM (except he hasn't stated it gives him a signature verification error yet), then he's also probably running a 2.2 build.
The easiest way is to use odin/heimdall.
there are 2 options in this path; odin back to 2.1 (jfd) then flash whatever rom you want from there, or odin a 2.2 voodoo kernel (which has cwm built in) and then flash whatever rom you want.

Phone wont go into recovery

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

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.
