i just updated my phone to EB01 and lost root, then rerooted my phone but know i can't get clockworkmod recovery running properly. all i get is stock recovery. do i need to rename a file update.zip?
ED01!!! that's what i meant
You could odin the attached file like I did.
i did that but i figured out my problem... flash a custom kernel
i dont know why i wasnt doing that

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.

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 am new to modding my vibrant (phone is rooted but that's all) but looking to flash a new ROM. I dl'd rom manager and installed cwr. When I reboot into recovery mode via rommanager or manually doing it,I do not get the prompt to backup. Only options I get are to reboot system, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, and format internal sd-card. Anyone know how to fix this? I just updated to 2.2 froyo UVKB5 kernel 2.6.32.9 if that helps.
looks like you have stock recovery.
try reinstall packages, might take a couple times..
or install CWM via replacing update.zip
What he said, yeah.
So just delete the current update.zip file on my phone and replace it with a new one? Any links to download the update.zip file?
Sometimes you have to Reinstall Packages twice for it to go from regular recovery to CWR. If you flash a custom ROM though, most have a custom recovery built in.
If you have to replace the update.zip (which I don't think that you do), this worked for me the first time I rooted.

How to Root.
I am rooted, but I want to back everything up so that way if I do not like the new custom rom I can go back. I tried reinstalling the update.zip file from the link but s till have the same issue. Any other solutions besides going back to stock and going from there? And if I did go back to stock, would I lose everything?
I backed up using Titanium Backup, is that the same as going into recovery mode and backing up?
Re-download recovery using ROM Manager, then repeat. Worked when I had a similar issue.
Tried that several times. I also reuploaded the update file and reinstalled the package several times. Still no luck so I think I might go back to stock using Odin.
Then DL Eugenes froyo don't brick ROM with the 2e recovery update in it, then re-install packages, maybe twice and you'll have the green recovery menu your seeking
Googled Eugene's DL and I do not feel to confident with it. Is it supposed to fix the issue with getting into recovery mode?
So I went back to stock last night using Odin, upgraded to 2.2, and rooted using Superoneclick. Phone's back up and running but faster than the first time I upgraded to 2.2. I still have the issue getting into the proper recover to install the zip file. I've read that deleting Slacker helped some people, assuming it freed up space on the System ROM. My system ROM was full until I started to delete some apps. I now have 20.7 MB free. Could not enough System ROM space be the issue?
I am now also getting a "Fail" attempt when I try and update su saying that it failed to find currently installed su binary. Any advice on fixing this?
TIA!!!
it would probably be easier to just odin back to stock jfd and then flash a deodexed kb5 build thats rooted with SU already in it from here in the forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193&highlight=deodexed
If you flashed kb5 from kies or odin and don't want to reinstall the rom then you will need to flash a modified 3e recovery because you probably are not quite rooted and won't be able to use CWM until you flash the modified 3e recovery...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
You might want to check out the AIO vibrant toolbox (pinned topic in the development thread) it will give you big easy buttons and instructions to flash back to jfd and root and flash a new rom if you need to... It comes with Odin so you can wander into the install folder and fire up Odin to flash the modified 3e recovery if you decide to go that route too.
If I flash a deodexed kb5 will i still be able to flash a custom rom?
Hi all,
i have searched in the forum i haven't found answer to my question.
I have rooted my galaxy tab without odin(using stock recovery and .zip file to install supeuser.apk) and i have installed ClockWorkMod by rom manager then i have done a nanodroid backup before installing CyanogenMod9.
In this way i haven't yellow triangle and my counter is still at 0 ;-).
Now i want to replace stock rom and stock recovery, i have replaced nanodroid backup. Now i come back to stock rom rooted, i can unroot it using another .zip file to be loaded via recovery but i still have CWM recovery.
Can i flash the stock recovery using clockworkmod? If possible i prefer not use odin. Is there a file like stock_recovery.zip to be flshed via CWM recovery?
Thank you very much.
Maurizio

You can find a .zip containing cwm recovery in the "retail 4g" section. It worked for my 3g model and I think the zip will cooperate with any tab.
Here is the link to the zip:
http://www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0
Now unzip it, replace the recovery with your stock, zip it up and flash it through cwm.
I HAVE ONLY FLASHED PERSHOOT'S RECOVERY FOR CM9 THAT WAY, AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENS WITH STOCK.
You can find the stock recovery for your device here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1#osa
Download the proper firmware for your device/region, untar it and get the recovery.img.
Just fyi you can flash official firmware with odin without raising the binary counter (Or so they say. I haven't tried this yet). In that case though your device gets wiped, so make a full backup prior to that.
Good luck!

I bought phones for my parents for Christmas. Managed to find two BNIB MDK Verizon GS4s on eBay. I currently have an S4 MDK that I rooted myself with no problems.
I went through using the Odin method to downgrade the kernel to root the device, just like I did on mine. When I downloaded ROM Manager, for some reason it wouldn't allow me to flash CWM, so I used terminal emulator to install it using the Loki method found here:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-r...on-att-or-verizon-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sch-i545/
After I booted into CWM recovery, I wiped everything (didn't nandroid :/) before installing a stockish debloated ROM - BoneStock 1.1.4 which is what I've been running. When I went to install The ROM zip from my ext sd card, the card wouldn't mount. I can't get my device to mount at all in recovery so I can't even sideload anything.
One thing that I may have done wrong is not flashed the second CWM file to upgrade the recovery to CWM v6.0.4.7.
Currently the phone will not boot passed the Samsung logo. Is there anyway to flash a different version of CWM through recovery? Or would that even fix my problem? I can get into download mode fine. I can still boot into CWM but it's useless at this point.
Could someone PLEASE help me! I feel like I've made a stupid mistake somewhere.
I check the CWM recovery version on my device and currently I'm running version 6.0.3.2. Could that be the reason I keep getting the error unable to mount the sd card? Does anyone have a current version of CWM recovery that's flashable over ODIN? I'm thinking that's my last resort before attempting to restore the MDK TAR.

MDK TAR sounds like the only way to go. Make sure to get the MDK one though!
Theoretically, there are other ways, such as flashing a new recovery from your current one, but with Loki, that would probably be harder than what its worth.
Does anyone have any clue why I wasn't able to use ROM manager to flash CWM recovery?
ODIN MDK TAR file worked. I still don't know what went wrong and why CWM recovery couldn't mount my SD card so I could flash a ROM.
