Is it okay to flash CWM through Rom Manager? I ask this because I formatted my SD Card and when I try to "Manage and Restore Backups", Rom Manager asks me to install CWM recovery; however, I am able to boot into CWM recovery using the three finger boot method or through the power menu button.
The "Flash CWM from RM" only downloads an update.zip file and puts it on your SDCard. ROM Manager doesn't work with CWM through the method we use it as it requires you to use the update.zip.
No.

Tried to flash TW4.1 Voodoo and I can't get Clockwork recovery to function. It always fails with this error.
Where can I get a recovery update zip to allow me to flash?
I'm coming from the leaked JL5 Froyo (stock) and I want to go to 4.1
It says I have 3e recovery and from my searching, I find that it seems I need an update zip for an older recovery to allow me to flash. Is that correct?
Which file should I use and how do use it?
Edit::
Is it THIS? Can I use this with Froyo, since it doesn't flash the Kernel?

Thanks for any and all help.
The stock 3e recovery has issues with verifying the checksums of the zip files.
ODIN is your best option.
So I need to:
1. Odin to 2.1 using pit file and Stock 2.1 eclair tar
2. Reinstall ROM Manager and CW recovery?
3. Flash the ROM?
you can turn signature verification off in clockwork recovery. i don't remember exactly where the setting is, but it's not hard to find.
edit: install zip from sdcard->toggle signature verification

I wish I could get there, but my only menu options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd card
I can't do anything else. I see Install ROM from SD Card in the application, but that's it. It seems that I'm in the Android standard 3e recovery rather than the CWMOD.
Is it possible, or do I have to go all the way back to 2.1 via Odin, reinstall CWMOD, etc. etc.?
Follow the instructions located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164 if you have root. If you do not its a tad more explanation and difficult.
You can use one click root to root your JL5 easily.
Won't that Kernel brick me, since I'm coming from 2.2 and it's a 2.1 kernel?
I am totally unable to get into CWMOD recovery. Only the stock recovery is working.
The instructions are to ODIN this kernel and:
Download ROM Manager from the Market. (Done)
Flash Recovery. (Done)
Choose Vibrant as your phone. (Done)
Accept the Superuser prompt. (Done)
On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. (It doesn't start...ever and I've done it about 25 times now)
You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.''
Watch the backup go! (I wish)
I'm drawing a blank on what TW4.1 is. Do you mean Nero?

I have been trying this for about an hour, but I can't get into CWMOD recovery. I can only get into stock. Which update zip file needs to be on my SD?

Yes, sorry. Nero's TouchWiz 4.1
Still can't get out of stock recovery and into ClockworkMod recovery.
when you install rom manager (the app from the market), you can install clockwork recovery through it. when you install clockwork recovery it puts an 'update.zip' on your internal memory. hitting 'reinstall packages' from stock recovery then reinstalls clockwork. so by reinstalling clockwork through rom manager, it makes sure you have the right update.zip and thus making it able to boot into clockwork recovery. so try uninstalling rom manager, reinstalling, and reinstalling clockwork.

Did all of the above. Reinstall packages still fails as described. Only stock recovery works. CWMOD doesn't.
Ok You have to root (try superoneclick v1.5.5)
After that you have to look for the thred to convert 3e recovery into 2e

I'm already rooted. I just don't know how to use those files you referenced. Do I manually replace the update.zip file with one of these?
I've got to replace the update.zip with this, but which one?
mod_jk6_recovery.zip (1.06 MB)
update.zip (897.5 KB)
It seems I need to rename the "mod_jk6_recovery.zip" to "recovery" and replace my current recovery move it from /sdcard to /system/bin
Is that corrrect?
Need to UNDO SGS Tools
I've tried all this and nothing works. I installed SGS Tools and used the Contacts mod. Unfortunately, It force closes my contacts now before I can even see them. I don't know how to undo this action. I'd like to reinstall 2.2 but, Kies won't let me. Where/How can I convert back to Eclair to wipe whatever SGS Tools has done to my phone?
I keep trying to get in, but I'm always getting sent to the stock recovery... this is what i'm doing
first I installed root access... Update.zip is in the internal memory (if i put it on the SD card, when I click reinstall it says file isn't found . . . ?), Update.zip is still there (not sure if I was supposed to remove it)
1. Open Rommanager
2. Clck Flash Recovery ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Pick Vibrant (MTD)
4. Pick ClockworkMod 2.x
5. Click Reboot into Recovery
when I do this it brings me to the stock recovery, tried about 3-4 times now with no success
Question: Are you on the stock rom?
If so, you can select "Galaxy S Vibrant" in Rom Manager to flash CWM, then reboot to recovery. The MTD one I believe is for 2.3 roms that can't boot into CWM via 3 button combo.
first off u have root correct? u have to install packages twice first. Then u will end up in green recovery. Then from green recovery flash any rom. But if ur trying to flash cm, u wanna pick 3x not 2x.
Ur update package could be corrupt, get a new one.
nevermind, i figured it out, i just simply rooted it with CWM manually instead
HERE IS WHAT I DID ..
UNLCOCKED BOOTLOADER WITH DOS PROGRAM
-downloader rom manager and flashed cwm but anytime i turn off the phone and boot into recovery it shows a exclamation point if i dont flash cwm and do recovery through rom manager and i have to flash cwm from rom manager everytime i need to go into recovery which i know is not right.
- do i need to flash Cyan 5.0.2.3-atrix4.1 / ZIP version. to have a recovery so i can do back ups?
- and also i just downloaded the cm7 zip, do i unzip on my sd card copy to internal or just throw the zip on and copy?
-when i was able to get in to recovery after flashing cwm the beta.zip does not show in the internal or the sd card since it copied to both so im not sure if i need to flash that recovery i posted above to see the zip or not? if you could help answer these i would appreciate it.

ok youve got a lot going on there
first things first. CM7 changes the storage locations for the SD cards so thats why you cant see those
the reason cm7 isn't booting is because you were using the wrong recovery. you need to fast boot flash romracers latest recoverhy for that to work.
that should also fix hour disappearing recovery problem,
id reccomend using a fruitcake to get back to stock and starting over
ok so i have only unlocked the bootloader nothing else im trying to get a recovery so i can actually put the cm7 zip in so i can flash to recovery. so i should flash rom racers recovery? and then do i flash cwm after i have the recovery, because the cm7 directions say too do so. i sincerely appreciate you helping me
Hi folks,
I'm trying to get a new custom recovery on my phone. Im on FW 2.3.5.
I've downloaded Rom Manager, and all looks fine. When i try to boot into recovery mode to install a custom rom it doesnt say cwm recovery... it says Android recovery.... and i cant install a custom rom from there. Yes. My phone is rooted, and i granted Rom Manager SU access
It says in red..... E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
I'm sure if i first upgrade my FW to ICS or JB then there would be no problem.
However. Im affraid that if i update, my touch wont work. I broke my phone 2 months ago, and got it repaired. But the touch wouldnt work unless they downgraded it to 2.3.5. (a mainboard issue due to custom rom. They said)
I really want to try to have a custom rom and see if the touch works in here, or if im stuck using FW 2.3.5
Do i need a new kernel where the CWM recovery is already included or what?
Model: GT-I9100
Current kernel: XWKI8
Edit
Is it possible for me to flash with a custom rom differently?
Maybe connect to Odin and press the "phone" button and choose a custom rom? Or another program.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but im kinda new to this

Don't use ROM Manager, as it is not fully compatible with our phone.
You have to flash a kernel containing the CWM recovery you want/need, or alternatively you can flash only the (temporaily) CWM recovery.
Have a lok here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
In first post Method 1 > Instruction 2.
Just download and flash "cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9100.zip" in stock recovery:
1. Put the previously downloaded cwm-touch-6.0.x.x-i9100.zip file on your external sd card.
2. Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the cwm-touch-6.x.x.x-i9100.zip file you copied in previous step (this step gives a temporary flash that will disappear after reboot)
You get CWM recovery interface (this custom recovery is temporary, not permanent)
3. Inside CWM, select "install zip from sdcard". Then, select "choose zip from sdcard". Now, scroll down to the custom ROM zip file and hit power button to install it.
Good luck !

I found a new kernel and now i have CWM.
Thanks a lot for the fast reply
Edit
I was right. The touch wont work on new rom.
Now i just have to test loads of roms to see which ones work
hello i don't know way but after i install the cg 10.2 the recovery don't mount the sdcard, not the SD card and not the internal memory of the phone, so if i what to install other ROM i need to flash to another kernel with odin, but after i install to a new ROM the recovery is change back to CWM-v6.0.3.4
i tried to format the sd card with cwm, but still the recovery don't see the sdcard
Way the Recovery is change every time i install a new ROM
and what to do to make the recovery see the sdcard
Follow the instruction in this post Odin Mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31310884&postcount=3
After the flash it will reboot, immediatly after press volume up + home + power. Until you see the recovery and flash other rom.
It should work, at least it worked for me.
That happend to me when i installed latest illusion rom, and this worked for me.
NOT RESPONSABLE IF PROBLEMS OCCUR, but should work fine, because it's flashing kernel (and recovery).
Try to Mount it in CWM ..
