i use odin to flash the red cwm recovery 3.x tar i then put the battery back i and boot into cwm recovery 3.x to check that it worked and everything is fine
next i reboot the system from cwm recovery 3.x and the phone boots fine
however if i power off the phone and then boot into recovery again it is back to the stock blue recovery. i tried to flash the 2.5.1.x red tar and i get the same issues
i am on a rooted stock 2.2 system not sure what i am doing wrong
please help
thank you
Have you tried to run the update.zip from blue recovery?
You need a custom kernel. The stock kernel removes the custom recovery upon a reboot.

So i updated OTA to 2.2 and then rooted my Fascinate. Now I'm trying to flash a new rom using Rom Manager but whenever I try to install a rom or reboot into recovery i get the error
-- Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature

And then it puts me in Stock Android Recovery. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks

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
PM me & let me know how it goes

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.
got it working yay

Tell us how.
i just waited some time and placed the debinged rom from adrenylne on my sd card then used the 3-30 tar and put my self in red voodoo flashed a different kernel theme then rom and all is good
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.

I can flash the DL09 with odin... but ive been there... 20 times. I havent tried a kernel but it probably wouldnt work seeing as it only boots back into cwm. I'm desperate...
EDIT: flashed EB01 voodoo... still boots into CWM... omg.

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

I love you <3
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.

you my friend have received a thanks, and are a great asset to these boards. It would have been easier for you to tell me to "research" but instead, you took the time to even give me a link.
+1 to you.
I appreciate the kind words sir, thanks!
even though i have flashed the kernel you have provided, my phone contiues to boot into stock recovery. (also thanks to providing the download link and thanks to person who asked question)

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.

If you have CWM recovery then you are ready to start flashing new roms.
Please keep in mind that your phone must be rooted - This should already be done seeing as you have CWM recovery.
You already have CWM permenantly on your device since you rooted ur device with CF kernel and as long as you have superuser and cwm file on your device that means u are rooted
You can now start flashing any rom you want
You can delete ur CWM from ur device by flashing stock ics kernel throught odin

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..

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.
