The consensus seems to be not to use ROM manager and to ODIN Clockwork Recovery Manager. Unfortunately there seems to be a little mentioned bug where CWM won't stay after the 1st time you reboot and I can't find a solution to this yet.

CWM will stay after you boot but you need to change your kernel. After you boot stock kernel overwrites cwm. Definately use odin to flash cwm, boot to recovery, should be red, flash custom kernel. I use JT's undervolted voodoo. If you voodoo itll take a little while to boot while voodoo converts your system.

Island beat me to it but he is exactly correct. I kept the stock kernel at first but i had to ODIN CWM 2 times as the first time it was blue but after 2nd time it was red. But the best way is to flash a custom Kernel which will keep it red

What I meant to say is what you said above: you can boot into CWM right after you flash it, but if you restart again it will go into stock recovery.

I've ODIN'd CWM multiple times but it still gets overwritten with the stock recovery. I'd like to stick with the stock ED01 kernel but can't find any ZIPs to flash this kernel via CWM.
You need to get the 3e recovery and put in /system/bin/ I had the same thing happen to me.. look up 3e recovery. It a common problem when the Galaxy S is updated to 2.2. Once you put the recovery file into the /system/bin/ you can flash CWM and it will all be good
Good Luck

No, what is needed to get into CWM is you need to flash CWM via Odin. Take the battery out when going into download mode. After flashing, unplug the USB cable and put the battery back in. When you go to start the phone, boot straight into recovery. The stock kernel reflashes recovery on every boot, so if you boot the phone normally, the phone will continue to have stock recovery. Once in CWM, flash a custom kernel and you'll be set as the custom kernels don't reflash recovery on boot.

This is unfortunate because I used to run a version of CWM just fine with the stock EB01 kernel. With the current CWMs I finally found a way to get it to work with the stock kernel: rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.

Well, I was previously running Comm rom, and i decided to switch to CM7 7/13
This didn't go so well. I Odin'd DL09 with atlas and repartitioned then installed Cmw and still Status 7 when I try to install. Then I tried installing 7/4 and it would just say something like "Checking BML" Or something, i forgot... and it would just reboot into cwm. I was running JT's cwm fix, and i tried with cwm all... I don't know what to do. Now my fascinate won't install comm rom, and every rom install just leads up to booting up in cwm.. no samsung logo.. Help??
Edit: Phone is now in "Manual mode"
i guess samsung recovery? but it wont boot. It just reboots into the same recovery after i press "reboot system now"
please? :'(
Just do this
after fighting with my phone yesterday trying to get it running this is what i did
Step one may be unnecessary but this is what i did.
1) Odined ED01 image let it boot. then Odind CWM3 3 finger salute. Flashed CommRom 2.0 when that was done i booted into CWM and disabled the VooDoo rebooted when the conversion was done.... i did step 2
2) in the OP of cm7 flash or odin the cwm
then flash the 07/04...
once that is up use the shutdown menu to access the Orange [cwm 4.0] cwm.
if you do a three finger salute it takes you to the RED [CWM 3.0] cwm.
Then flash the updates.
And suspect there was an issue with the Voodoo even though it said it was disabled. Good Luck

That's the thing... It wont boot to anything i install on it.. But it sure as hell boots to ANY cwm i install... and it also boots to normal recovery in the absence of a cwm....
Can you get back to stock using odin? If you can try flashing a custom kernel after you flash the cwm recovery.

Have you tried flashing the official vzw eb01..(not dl09 and not eb01voodoo) file with pit and repartition checked? If not do that and let it boot completely. You need to do this to make sure your ext4 partition is formatted to remove voodoo.
After you odin official vzw eb01 with the pit file and repartition checked let it boot fully.then odin 3-30 recovery and immediately boot to cwr...if it boots up fully you will have to re odin recovery.
At this point wipe everything and flash com rom 2.0 that will give you root, recovery and the rom....from there you can go to com rom 2.1or whatever your want but your phone should be up and running

OK, so it has been a while since I have had to flash recoveries etc... Anyway, I Odin'ed back to stock today because I had to go to the Verizon store to talk about my replacement phone so I wanted to have it unrooted. Anyway, now I am trying to get CM7 back on for the time being but I can't get in to CWM. I tried pushing the cwm_recovery_all tar file via ODIN and when I do the three finger boot, it still brings me to the stock recovery and when I hit apply update.zip it fails.
What the heck am I doing wrong? I figured I could just get recovery on there and not have to worry about "rooting" since all the ROM's have that built in anyway.
Any help is appreciated!
Nevermind, I think I figured it out
For those of you that don't know, you have to flash a custom kernel before letting the phone boot after flashing CWM, since the stock kernel will overwrite it on boot

Nope, all you have to do is leave the battery out and as soon as ODIN passes and resets the phone, unplug the phone from the PC so it can't reboot. Then just use the 3 button method to get in to recovery.
Overall it is pretty simple. Here were my steps to get back to CM7 from 100% stock ED04:
1) Push cwr_recovery_3_30_fix (or something like that) tar file in ODIN wit hthe battery pulled
2) Let ODIN finish and say RESET, then PASSED and pull the USB cable out so the phone can't reboot.
2a) Put battery back in
3) Once in red recovery, flash jt's cwm4 fix zip in CM7 thread
4) Flash CM7
5) Flash gapps
6) Profit
I didn't have to flash any custom kernels or anything.

I'm not trying to be a jerk so don't take this the wrong way, but kevin is right..it is the kernel that re-writes recovery on boot.
The way you are doing it, jt has a kernel included with the rom and that kernel Is whats making your recovery stick when you flash the rom. if you were to odin recovery on Stock phone and just flash a rom w/o a kernel and try to get to recovery again it would be the original stock recovery.
Don't get me wrong what you did is correct, I just want to make sure if you have to do this again, you don't have problems, it is the kernel that is what prevents the stock recovery from coming back.

My point is that I was able to boot in to red recovery (2.5.1.x) BEFORE flashing any custom kernel. I understand that CM7 has a kernel built in, but I was able to boot in to both the red recovery and jt's cwm 4 fix (4.0.1.0) before flashing any ROMs/Kernels. I wasn't even rooted (flashing CM7 is what rooted me).
After re-reading what he wrote, the way he says it is correct. I must have read it wrong the first time. So I apologize for saying "Nope." For some reason I read it as if he was saying I had to flash a custom kernel before being able to boot in to any recovery. He is just saying that you can't let the phone fully boot after pushed the recovery (which is what I ended up doing in my steps).
Sorry for the confusion.
No problem...glad you didn't take offense I'm just nearly thinking of all the noobs that are just getting into this kind if stuff and when they read the thread they might be misinformed...
that being said I've been on cm7 for a while and I know not to flash with anything other than the included recovery, I can confirm power button menu gets you to the new blue recovery but if you three finger salute it (done on accident just out of habit) you will get to an older recovery! In my case the old red one....Weird having both on the phone simultaneously, but it's no prob as long as we only use the new recovery to flash anything.

I am having an issue with flashing CWM via Odin and keeping it there. I flash CWM via ODIN, I've tried 3 diff versions of CWM , Red One, Voodoo (blue one) and the 3.0.0.8 via rom manager (orange one) each time i flash one, i can boot into after flashing it via ODIN, but when i reboot the phone. CWM is gone and its back to the factory samsung recover "for all devices" nonsense. I have been able to obtain root by flashing via the SU zip method and I have root, i just can't flash a rom b/c cwm wont stick....any ideas? search returns nothing!
Thats because you need a modified kernal for cwm to stick.
Here is the modified stock kernal for a froyo rom. put this in the pda function of odin.

did you odin a cwm recovery after the modified stock kernal?
Make sure your battery is removed when entering download mode to flash cwm via odin.
Once it shows successful, remove the cable.
insert battery and immediately enter cwm using the 3 finger method.
Flash a custom stock kernel.
choose "reboot system now"
let the system boot up.
then boot back to cwm recovery and flash your rom of choice.

Hello! I installed a mod for my Samsung Galaxy SII so I could overclock the CPU to 1.5Ghz. Since I'm new here I can't post the link to the tutorial I followed. But you can just search "Samsung Galaxy S2 how to overclock to 1.5GHz" and select the search result from "androidng". I don't think it matters anyway. It says that I have the kernel version "2.6.65.8-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #59". Now I want to install CyanogenMod for it and I've already downloaded ROM Manager Premium 4.8.0.6 and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which removed the default recovery mode from Samsung / Google. But when I try to install the ROM from my SD card in the recovery mode it says "failed to verify whole-file signature". Is it possible to get rid of the ClockworkMod Recovery and get the stock recovery back that enable me to flash over USB with Odin. It seems like a lot of people have that error but I can't find any answer to solve it. Someone suggested to disable signature verification but I can't find it, I think it is in an earlier version. Will the "factory reset" option in the menu reset everything to Samsung's stock ROM without the recovery mode and will it backup files, settings and apps? (Probably it is not working either because nothing on that menu works except restart)
Sounds to me like you still have stock recovery, you're not going to get CWM recovery from ROM manager.
I don't know what the CWM recovery is but I'm sure I don't have the stock recovery. The stock recovery from Samsung don't have that menu that says "Android System Recovery <3e>, on the stock recovery it says "Downloading... Do not turn off target" and has a big Android image.

Yes, yes it does. What you're describing is download mode.
Ah. I thought the volume up did the same as the volume down. I started the phone in downloader mode now but I still don't know how to get rid of the "failed to verify whole-file signature" error.
Considering you're trying to install CM7, read the FAQ thread in this very forum carefully. One of the first instructions is to flash a specific kernel which includes CWM recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
You should flash a cf root kernel this will give you all you need including cwm manager which allows you to reboot straight into clockwork recovery.

I rooted with CF-Root and then flashed back to stock Kernel and root has remained. Now when I go to boot into CWM Recovery I get the "failed to verify signature" error on the screen that says Android recovery <3e>.
Is it because I flashed back to stock Kernel that this is happening?

Where in the instructions to install CM7 does it say to do anything with stock kernel or CF-root kernel? Hint: it doesn't. Follow the instructions to the letter, they're not there to look pretty, they're meant to be followed.
Also, a 5 second search would tell you that Android recovery 3e is not CWM recovery.

When you flash from CF-Root back to a stock Kernel, you LOSE root. You will still have the CWM app but you will notice that superuser is missing.

I had the same problem bought ROM Manager expecting my phone to reboot and CM7 would install but it dosen't well not the first time anyway. You need to install CM7 manually via Clockwork Recovery, once CM7 is installed you can then use ROM manager to install other ROM's but since there have been no nightly builds from November it seems that ROM Manager was £4 down the drain.

Something is odd with mine then. I've flashed every XW and XX frankenstein ROM and each time I did the kernal flash dance in order to remove the warning triangle. When I flashed the stock kernel back in, I always lost root. Superuser disappeared and Tegrak overclock gave me the error that root access was not available each time.

I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?
Anyone? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated

Sure... You can flash a rom immediately following the flash of cwm.... Did you also install busy box?
Which cwm are you trying to use? 5.8.4.7 seems to do me good....?

Before your phone boots after installing cwm in Odin do a battery pull then boot into recovery （Volume Up+Home+power) then flash your superuser/root package. It will stick then.

I tried using that CWM version as well as an older one. Both work and I can get busy box and superuser installed once it boots up. But when I power down and try to go back into recovery, CWM is gone. I do get to keep root though.

I tried unchecking the auto-reboot button on Odin 4 and 7, and going that route. Both allow me to get into CWM, where I try to flash the recovery v5.zip. Still doesn't stick unfortunately.
My flash counter is up to about 10 now, trying to get CWM to stick..

I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?

Flashing 5.8.4.7 after renaming it to recovery.img with mobile odin did the trick for me and it stuck.

Thanks everyone. I used CWM toolkit, reflashed the stock recovery, then used odin 3.07 to re-flash CWM 5.5.0.4 and it stuck.
