So i rooted my phone manually (ran rage.bin, pushed su, busybox, and Superuser) and then used odin to flash the CWM_recovery_DL09.tar. to get to CWM recovery i had to go through blue recovery every time (apply update.zip). Once i got into CWM i flashed a DL30 rom and my phone wouldnt boot. not only wouldnt it boot but blue recovery wouldnt apply the update.zip. i had to odin back to DJ01 stock.
Now i flashed the EB01 root/recovery/superclean and then flashed the red CWM-all.
I have two questions. Did my phone originally brick because i was supposed to flash a DL09 rom instead of DL30 rom? And now that i can get into red recovery directly, am i safe to flash whatever i want?
I assume that since i dont have to go through blue recovery, and i can go directly to red CWM, i should always be able to get into CWM and restore a backup if i hose my system right?
unbelievable
Did the dl30 rom have a kernel? If not you were trying to run froyo with the stock eclair kernel. Can't imagine that works to well. And yes now that cmw is properly flashed, barring a major snafu, you should always new able to enter cmw using the 3 key method.

So i used to have CWM 3 (orange). Everytime i wanted to get into it i had to go through the stock blue recovery and flash update.zip. I tried to flash a DL30 rom through CWM and my phone wouldnt boot. Not only would it not boot but i couldnt get past stock blue recovery, the update.zip failed. so i had to odin a stock build.
Now i have red CWM installed, and i dont have to go through blue recovery to get to it. Am i safe to flash any ROM/kernel/theme now that i can get right into red CWM?
yes.
good day.

yesterday iwasaperson was extremely helpful to me. Thanks. I took my fascinate back to stock 2.1 and allowed it to update to 2.2. I then rooted my phone by flashing CWM recovery using ODIN. (red version) I had installed two files to root of drive one update.zip and the other for rooting the phone Su-----.zip. I ran them using the red version and restarted the phone. The phone is now rooted but I can't get back to CWM recovery.
I tried the following: I have ROM manager and flashed CWM but it wom't take. If I try to go into recovery I get the stock Samsung blue menu. I am thinking I need a different (CWM recovery comptabile) kernel or mod to get this to work.
Can someone help?
Reflash cwm, boot directly into recovery mode, and flash your custom kernel. The stock kernel tends to block access to cwm.

i was on comrom 2.1, went into cwm wiped data, cache, factory reset, then restored my stock verizon rom. my reason for doing so, is so that i can sell the phone with it looking as stock as possible without actually getting rid of cwm. so it works fine except for one issue, the custom boot screen (it just says android , except that it is messed up and instead of showing horizontally, it flashes vertically) that was on com rom is somehow stuck flashing over the stock boot screens (samsung galaxy s and the verizon logo), is there an easy fix for this? or should i return everything completely to stock?
Thanks for any help!!
You may have a problem if you were on a voodoo setup and just flashed the stock rom with out removing the lag fix...?
My suggestion is to odin dl09 with the atlas 2.2pit file and repartition checked and reboot when its done,
Then ota update to the one you want.
at this point you can power down and odin the recovery you want but you have to have a non stock kernel ready to go on your sd cause if you don't flash one the first time your in recovery, the stock kernel will overwrite it on boot. In the dev stickies there is a list of roms...you can find a non stock, non voodoo kernel to work with stock rom, flash that on there the first time you boot into recovery to make sure cwm sticks.

So, my phone was rooted, I flashed Bionix onto with Overstock Kernel, I tried to install Destroyer of Worlds Kernel but my phone wouldn't boot up. So I flashed Odin to revert to the original TouchWiz ROM. I re-rooted the phone but now it won't let me flash Clockwork Recovery. I used ROM Manager to flash it, I re-installed the packages several times using the stock recovery, I also manually went into stock recovery and that wouldn't work. I tried everything but nothing works. Someone help me! D:
So its to my understanding that you don't need ROM manager after you root the SF with clockworkmod installed during the root process. I ran rom manager after root, installed the latest clockworkmod from ROM manager, and then rebooted. Whenever I would flash anything it would go to the rom managers cwmr. But if i hard rebooted it with the volume keys it would go to Voodoo, which i assume takes the place of the stock Android Recovery. However, I tried to manipulate a nandroid back up in the VooDoo cwm, and it immediately sent me phone into a boot loop followed by a total brick of my phone. What do we need to use? I'm coming from a rooted Droid X before my fascinate.
Thanks!

Don't waste your time with ROM Manager if you're not running CM7. It doesn't work with the Fascinate otherwise. Stick with the CWM you put on there with ODIN. If I were you, I would get the tar file for CWM 3 and reODIN it.
I've since restored my phone back to stock, rerooted and gotten miui back the way I had it. Now unfortunately I didn't read your post early enough and mistakenly added rom manager again and installed their version of clockwork. Should I just boot recovery and wipe/reset. That'll get rid of the secondary clockwork I installed right?
