[Q] Cwm Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had rooted my phone using odin because 2.2 is hard to root, and i found that when i go to my recovery menu, the letters are red and that htere are more options. at the top, there are these words in red:
Cwm Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x . I dont like this. is there a rom that i can use on rom manager to change it back to the normal recovery screen without ruining my root and without restoring my fascinate?
if there is a rom to do this, i would be very glad.

What is it you don't like? You need CWM recovery in order to flash a custom ROM anyways.

I think he hates the color "red" i assume.
And for OP, there's CWM 3.0.x which has 2 other colors available (Blue and Purple)
CWM 2.5.x is old school so just flash CWM 3.0.x

cwm
lol, no i do not hate red.
im just afraid that if my 3g or soemthing doesnt work and i have to return it, i could easily use terminal emulator to remove all root stuff but idk how to remove the cwm voodoo.

If you needed to return it just odin back to stock and that will remove any custom cwm you are running.

Odin a stock kernel and it should replace the recovery as well.

cwm mod
is that the only way, cause i really dont want to reset all my stuff to stock.
is there just a rom that has the normal recovery mode?

Switching out a kernal won't affect anything, your apps and data will remain intact

cwm
O,
I really didn't know that......
sorry cause I'm 11 n
and I don't know that much about rooting and stuff yet....
I'm just a rookie u could say o_o
So do u guys have a kernel i could flash with Odin or cwm rom manager?
Thanks

Odin stock but rooted?

I always get a headache after odining then I have to root it give my wifi pass download rom manager etc.
But mostly root.
Is there a Odin file that goes to ifs stock but also roots it?
when i go back to stock i never re-root my phone
the "update.zip" that CWM leaves on my root replaces CWM on my phone w/o rooting when i hit "reinstall packages"
so when i hit reinstall packages again it goes straight to CWM recovery and i flash my ROM....
like i said...i havent manually rooted my phone in months

well it doesnt root it in recovery....but here's the idea
when you dl ROM Manager and flash CWM Recovery via ROM Manager...it puts a "update.zip" on your root...so when you reboot into recovery you hit "Re-install Packages"...it replaces the stock 2e recovery w/ CWM....and if you have to hit "reinstall packages" again...it just jumps to CWM....
so when you flash a ROM or go back to stock....your SD is untouched (unless you got a bad ULF kernel)...which means your "update.zip" file on your root is still CWM..so when you hit "re-install packages"...the phone flashes CWM w/o having to root the phone...
so now you got CWM recovery on an un-rooted phone...so you can flash your ROM..and when you flash a custom ROM you're automatically rooted ....i've been doin it this way for months...i discovered this method by accident...i thought it would brick my phone the first time i did it...but like i said i've been doin it for months

idk...it might be the problem...i never check re-partition in Odin...never saw the point of that
when i do this method it sends me to the green CWM(since its the one from ROM Manager)...then when i flash my favorite TW ROM it'll give me the VooDoo red CWM...
here's what you can do to test my method:
Go ahead and root, dl ROM Manager, and Flash CWM Recovery...
once you have CWM successfully up....Odin back to stock....
Don't root the phone...after its done loading up....reboot into stock 2e recovery
Hit "reinstall packages"...you might see the test say "Replacing stock recovery with ClockworkMod Recovery" really quick before it reboots...
Once it goes back to stock 2e...hit "reinstall Packages" again...
and it should send you to the green CWM Recovery

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.

Is Clockwork Mod Safe

I've been using AmonRA recovery since I got the Optimus in December and I am comfortable with it. I've tried out Miks port of CM7 and while it's great, i sorely miss the battery performance I was getting on Froyo with Void and running 824mhz stable without any problems. That and bluetooth is sorely missed. I want to give OpenOptimus a shot, but I am extremely weary of trying to install Clockwork Mod again, because the one time I attempted it I ended up bricking my phone. Thankfully, the guy at the Tmo kiosk in the mall just gave me a new one no questions asked. I wouldn't be so hesitant to install CWM on my phone if I could install the img just like I did with AmonRA instead of trusting Rom manager to do it for me.
I don't suggest you to flash recovery via ROM manager. IMHO ClockworkMod is better,has much more options. If you'll flash the 3.1.0.0 version using my flashable zips you won't brick anything. And remember to give openOptimus a shot,you won't regret it
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure I understand correctly. I thought that clockworkmod was the recovery that is installed by Rom Manager. All of the instructions for installing CWM simply say to install Rom Manager. Ultimately, I do aim to install OpenOptimus but I need to switch from running AmonRA recovery to CWM recovery. And what exactly do you mean by flashable zip? I installed AmonRA using the ADB and an .img file. it there is a thread anywhere here that clearly details the process to install CWM recovery, please point me to it.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that you could actually flash a recovery from within the recovery. I just switched to CWM and flashed OpenOptimus. Waiting for first boot as I'm typing this.

yes a stated above u can just enter into recovery and flash any recovery u want from the link pointed out above and its safe ,since u already have recovery installed u dont need to flash recovery via rom manager and just remember that any backup taken from any recovery would be restored using the same recovery. To clear all doubts the problem has been solved and installing recovery from rom manger works flawlessly now. Note:Its advisable to use rommanager for ppl not having recovery installed just download the latest rom mager and flash choosig ur phone type.
slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can get the T-Mobile branded P509 kdz stock firmware just in case I end up needing to roll back to stock? I can't seem to find it anywhere, the_ERROR's thread on howto is closed and the links don't work anymore.

nope its not safe at all using rom manager ~
I flashed CWM and my friend died a few days later.
So no it's not safe.
For me there are no problems with clockworkmod and RomManager. Flashed cwm via RomManager and everything is fine here.

it not about using rom manger for flashing rom ,it just to get the cwm recovery and then going into recovery and using it from there.
Many had problems flashing rom from clockwork so that not advisable but installing cwm is fine 100% sure
M happy with CWM
Don't use tricks like ROM Manager... It's just matter of learning to use a recovery, not that difficult.. just IMHO
You just need to use ROM manager Once to get recovery. After that you can delete the program and enjoy the CWM recovery.
I have been there, I have done it, You do want it
CWM works beautifully without problems..
I use rom manager just to reboot to recovery, as i am too lazy to use the 3 button combo to goto recovery.
Flashed ROMs and zips with CWM. 100 % safe untill now..
The new updared Rom Manager has solved that issue.

I can't believe I had to ask that question. I know now that there are numerous ways to flash recoveries. My personal preference is to do it manually using the adb.

No, it is not 100% fine, in fact it lacks any sanity checks whatsoever.
Just flash CWM through your current recovery and you'll be fine. It's by far the safest method. If you flash through ROM Manager and after reboot you get stuck in fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015332 ... happened to me, unbricked it with some slight changes to the tutorial. Nothing important.
PS: If you don't use Rom Manager you can always do a $su then #reboot recovery in a terminal (Downloadable from market) to reboot directly to recovery.

[Q] Does my Fascinate have 'Multiple Recovery Disorder'?!

MIUI 110281 Glitch-V12
When I use RomManager to go into recovery the phone uses ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.8 (orange color) . And I can't do anything with this. If I select anything I just get the little top-hat
When I use the reboot menu to go into recovery I get the Glitch Kernel - CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4. This one works great! I would like to only have the Glitch Recovery if possible.
When I use the 3 finger method I get CwM Voodoo LagFix Recovery v2.5.1.x I flashed this with Odin a while back. I get a host of errors regarding mount. To get any where I have to 'apply sdcard:update.zip' which of corse takes me to ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.8 and I have the same mount errors...but I am able to select menu items.
Questions:
Is it possible to have the phone only use the Glitch CwM recovery regardless of recovery method?
How can I get the latest CwM recovery to replace the older CwM Voodoo Lagfix?
Is this normal or do I need to take my phone to a psychiatric hospital?
This is completely normal. MTD roms use a different recovery and just leave the old orange one on there. It doesn't work at all, gives the errors you have seen. Nobody really knows how to make the 3-finger thing go into the right recovery. Just use rom manager or whatever to get the right one.
Got it. Glad I am not the only one! Thanks for the answer
From what I have been able to figure out the 3-finger recover is what ever you flash with ODIN.. I'm kinda new so I cant point you to the right files, but an ODIN flashable recovery is what you want

No. Not at all. He either needs to reboot to recovery with the reboot options aka holding the power button or using adb reboot recovery. If he flashes an mtd recovery with odin. His phone wont get passed recovery and have to start from scratch.

Sadly didn't work, it says that my phone didn't pass the compability test so what's now? When i look for it on google play it says "your device isn't compatible with this version" but it installed succefully on my device running originally 2.3.6 with generic kitkat rom in 4.4.2 is there any method to do it in odin at least? Or custom kernel would be better? Answers will be appreciated.
No way to change it, also the risk is extreme i don't wanna brick my device, even i installed a custom kernel from odin, it showed "PASS" and my phone restarted and appeared the samsung logo later it turned off and restarted again and later the screen kept in white and i did need to get back to the old kernel
Anyway flash the stock recovery it's impossible to do.

You know that without cwm recovery u can't flash custom roms & kernals.
Pleas clear that which recovery u want stock recovery or cwm recovery?
And why?
Then I can easily guide or help u.
Best regards.
I want to change stock recovery to cwm recovery. I want cwm permanently no temporal, i know the zip file it's temporal but i want it permanent! I don't know how my phone did install "Compact" kernel with stock recovery and not with cwm i've had to do it that way 'cause odin didn't work and my phone got bricked
Can i install cwm permanent on samsung galaxy young duos? (S6102B)
I'll be very grateful if somebody could explain me!
The reason why i want cwm permanent and why i want it it's because i don't want to enter in recovery and see always the limited stock recovery with just 4 options
