When you flash cwm recovery and it reboots..hit reinstall packages...if it goes back to stock....hit re-install packages again

i have several times and nothing
Are you on the stock kernel? try flashing a custom kernel first. Clockwork mentions that galaxy s users on the cwm market page. I haven't tried it because I'm waiting for 2.3 though kies see what I like better.

how would i flash a kernel on the vibrant
and which one im lost
download a free app call sgs kernel flasher and backup ur current kernel with it and then download the kernel u want and put it on ur sd card then flash it with sgs kernel flasher, there u have flashed a new kernel.
Plus ur update package could be corrupt thats why it wont take. After it hitting reinstall packages twice it should kick into the green recovery!
do u have rom manager??

You have to select reinstall packages, and it will go to the blue recovery again, then press reinstall packages again and clockwork should boot up everytime.
So i just have to keep on reinstalling packages until cwm works?? I think i will lose my superuser etc.. What zip file do i have to put on my intrnal card?

Once u are rooted you done need update.zip for root
What if i already rooted my phone using super one click root on my froyo 2.2? Do I still have to update? By update.zip?

After you used super one click root, delete that update.zip file that it places in your internal memory.
Then download rom manager, click flash clockwork-mod recovery and it should say boot into the blue recovery. In there click reinstall packages, and if it takes yiu to the blue screen again, click reinstall packages one more time and you should boot into clockwork from now on.
Ok thank you master and slave one more question do I still have to install the unzip thing from my internal sd? Or not a any more?

Since you are on 2.2, you need the modified 3e recovery. Then you should be able to get into CWM.
Or you can just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 and Odin back to 2.1 and not have any issues updating your ROM.
Reading all the guides helps alot with these questions.

The method I was giving you was for 2.1
Its easier to root from 2.1.
But the thread above should help
Another route around 3e recovery is to use a Voodoo kernel, because those have CWM baked right in. I recommend this because for whatever reason I couldn't get modded 3e recovery working.

odin back to stock as people have said 2.1 is easier to root and then do as ur told with root and cwr!
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

So Im trying to install a custom Rom from stock on my homie's Vibrant but I noticed the free Rom Manager app is absent from the Market. The licence for the Premium version is there and you can download it but the free version has to be installed first. I tried pulling the one from my Vibrant and tried to install it in the now rooted stock Vibrant but it wont install and Im not even sure if you could do that anyways. I also tried just installing Clockwork Mod by renaming the zip file update.zip and flashing it with the stock recovery and I was able to get it to the "green" cwm recovery screen but everytime I tried to either wipe the catche or try to flash the custom Rom it would just freeze. Is there a work aroud to this. Thx in advance.

Was happening with me too yesterday. You need 1.7 mb update.zip file I believe. Return to jfd through odin and then go from there.
Same thing happened to me yesterday after a disastrous flash and an Odin back to stock!
Luckily I was able to Bluetooth the apk to myself from my wifes phone.

if I am not mistaken, I notice that noob guide does flash CWR (method B) but it does not root the android phone since there is no ROM Manager installed.
Hi guys im currently using CheckRom V7, but i kinda brick it too..
When im done of flashing V7, i did wipes again which its not recommened in the thread, now my S2 just stock in the booting logo.
I've tried to use Odin to flash another rom, but unfortunately my s2 cant connect with my laptop, it always said unable to install the driver, but my other S2 could.
Now i think the only way is to install CWM Recovery into my phone via update zip from external SD card, because V7 is using stock Samsung kernel which does not have CWM in the phone
And i have found few threads about update zip, but they are all about rooting. I guess theyre not the ones im looking for ..
Can anyone help me with this ? Need that update.zip so bad now..
Really appreciate you guys...
Calm down man, your phone is not dead yet. The people who did wipe has the stock kernel with CWM recovery in it. You are lucky you wiped with stock recovery. Anyway, have you tried plugging it in a different usb port?

You can flash a Cwm flashable zip in stock recovery and get a temporary cwm. From it, you can reflash the rom and kernel.

Hello and sorry to post this problem here as i have the tmobile note but i used the att i717 rooting method from rootgalaxynote.com ofcourse did not use an att based rom but a tmobile one( cm10.1 rc2) . The problem is after clearing everything i then proceed to install the new rom using cwm and it says "install aborted" error section 7 ive tried it a few times cleared everything again and still nothing. Dont know if i need to update cwm and if so how vers.5.0.5 or something like that or is it the build which is the lates update by tmo uvlma1 and the instructions were from may of 2012. Please help i have gone back to stock for now as i did backup first. Ps i have installed titanium backup pro and and superuser and have even frozen some of the bloatware from tmo so im guessing i am rooted. Please help as the tmo threads are dead and no help from no one!! Thanks a bunch guys
Just update your recovery dude.
Twrp is superior to cwm imo anyway.
This has been discussed many times. Since you are coming from T-Mobile forum here is a link which was recently discussed. Staus 7 means you need to upgrade your recovery.

You did not check the link and you ignored the other users recommendation.
Recovery from rom manager will not work. Twrp recovery is good for our devicw. Flash twrp and you will be ok. Follow the instruction from link provided

so i download the twrp file and flash through odin? the problem is my phone doesnt stay on. it just boot loops to the samsung logo. sorry for misunderstanding not to go through rom manager. thanks so much osterizerblender for helping me with links just need to know how to do this procedure.
Your phone will stay in download mode to flash a recovery.
Once flashed boot into that every and flash a Rom within.
Put your phone to download mode. Make sure you have drivers installed. Open odin(i used v1.85). Put the twrp recovery tar file in to pda slot. Conect your phone to your computer in download mode. Once odin finds your device then press start.
