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?

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

I installed clockwork recover 3.0.0.8(orange) in rom manager. After doing so i read up that my ROMS wont run using that and that I need 2.5.1.x(red) to be able to flash roms. I cant seem to find out how to switch to 2.5.1.x. Can anyone help?

or
cwm_All.zip
USE ONE of theses
Flash with odin over 3.0
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?
You need to flash a kernel other than stock, rebooting with the stock kernel will revert back to blue recovery

why dont you just flash CWM in odin again?
I have flashed CWM again with odin. It still won't take

This (though in reverse order).
You need to reflash CWM by odin, go into Odin immediately upon the first boot (not using Rom Manager!), and flash a new kernel from the SDcard. The stock kernel will trash CWM if it gets a chance to boot.
saf66. any ones in mind and where I can obtain them. And as if I weren't asking enough questions. (Sorry I know I am) Methods to flash them?
Or any others of you please
Go into development at the top of page open stickies and nitsu has a list of kernels,a well as roms

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.
I just purchased a already rooted Vibrant with CM7ninstalled but I want to flash Project V ROM. I put the new ROM on the root of the sd card and boot in recovery both ways and after wiping and trying to install I get a message stating Amend Scripting. I do know how to flash ROMs being that I still have my G2 but this is my first Samsung and it's quite different any help would be GREAT!
Odin back to stock then root then flash clockwork recovery then install rom

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.
