Hey all,
Totally went back to stock...so started with DL09 and then proceeded up to ED04. I installed CWM (red) and rebooted into it and then rooted my phone. Worked great...this morning decided to wipe the battery stats...now it just goes to the Samsung (blue) recovery one. I decided to reflash with ODIN and it still just gives me the Samsung one. Any ideas on how to get this working again???
It sounds like your flash may have failed. Maybe try it again. It might be easier and more reliable to use heimdall in this situation as well.
Also, I know it's early, but this is a question and should be posted in the appropriate section.

You have to download this and ODIN to the phone ...
Code:

... What's happening is when you are booting up fully it is replacing the new recovery with the stock recovery... flash this, then flash CWM .. all will be cool!!

Heimdall works like Odin. Cwr is being overwritten by the stock kernel, you should flash a custom kernel if you want cwr to stick.

You may have to flash a custom kernel to get your recovery permanent. I did the same thing to get the ed04 ota.
1. Flash the dl09 tar file in odin, don't reboot.
2. Flash the cwm3 odin file of your choice, don't reboot.
3. Boot into recovery using the 3 finger salute (should be the one you just odined).
4. Flash the custom kernel of your choice & reboot.
That should keep it rooted & keep cwm available to you, at least it did for me. The key, fwig, is to repalce the stock kernel cuz that is what will replace cwm when it boots.

Im coming from 2.3.2 - XWJV1 [Gingerbread on Vibrant], after ODIN, and when i wanted to flash the latest Bionix i got an error
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
every time i get this, i have to do another ODIN because it just does a loop in the android system recovery and will not get out, so i had to ODIN 3 times.
now when i try to flash a ROM it just keeps replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod recovery, i do the usual steps to install a ROM and it just does a loop. i tried different clockwork flash versions and either it wont let me install the older ones or the only 2 versions that work have loop problems.
HOW DO I FIX THIS, IM SO STRESSED OUT, THIS IS UNNECESSARY!
after doing install rom from sd option, i was able to get out of the loop but i got
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
i still cant flash anything and i already tried eugenes files.
got into clockwork but when i put install files from sd card > choose from sd then it when i choose update.zip it just goes back to the android system recovery.
then i put reinstall files from the android system recovery and it just sends me back to clockwork recovery...
Try a diff. tar for when you Odin, you may have a corrupt file. Have you try Eugen JK2 tar file, prerooted?
Are you clicking reinstall packages?
Are you going through clockwork or rom manager?
Did you install the root update zip to reroot?

Try Ugenes no brick file when you odin. Has worked for me in the past.
Odin back to JFD (make sure to check repartition) then boot and let it go through loading, then root the phone, Then load CWM, then load your new rom and load from recovery NOT CWM, you will have no problems.

Ok I just went through this less than a month ago with my captivate. I have a twenty page topic on this EXACT issue. I had all the major devs pming me and doing everything under the sun for probably a total of thirty hours. Result - NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS. This issue is not specific to our phones, there have been cases of this on almost every android phone. Your gonna get people telling you to do all this elementary trouble shooting...the problem is far too deep dont waste your time. You can flash back to stock with every tar and pit file this side of samsung...not gonna work. SOMETHING is not getting wiped. Save yourself the time and sell the phone to someone who will not use custom roms.
Also no rm/wipe command through abd is gonna help either! Sorry just telling you from someone who experienced this hell. Also every thread in existence on the internet on this subject has died out without an answer. If you read for enough hours you will find out the hard way! Good luck my friend!

Are you able to re install the original rom? I and many others with this issue had that unique problem of being able to install ONLY the rom that was running before everything went to hell. There lies the key I believe to all of this. What makes only one work.

LMAO!!! I understand that your frustrated but there is no need to blame other members. There is always a risk flashing a rom. If you are not willing to accept the risk then you shouldn't be flashing roms at all. Whitehawkx has helped many people in the vibrant community and its not his fault if YOU decide to flash his rom and don't know what your doing. You wont get much help around here with that attitude. Good luck

My sch-i500 was in sc2.9.1 with no voodoo, so I wanted to change the kernel to voodoo so I mistakenly installed voodoo kernel 5.5, which was for gt-i9000.
it looped the boot, so I turned it off and reinstalled sc2.9 by odin. I was able to boot, but I cannot get into red recovery even after applying cwm-recovery-ALL by odin; when I boot into recovery, blue recovery shows up and it says:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkOp2
(No such file or directory)"
how can I get back to super clean 2.9.1 with voodoo lagfix?
Honestly the easiest way to make sure you are on a clean install would be to flash back to stock with the DL09 (i think) odin package.
Do a search its floating around somewhere. It will bring you to stock and make sure everything is clean.

I know how to do that way, and that is my last resort...
I just want to know if there's any way to fix the problem without going back to stock. I really hate to reset all my settings/apps/data...man I regret not backing up my phone.
You can flash other rom but it will show same error.
Just back up stuff using titanium backup. I've flashed my phone more than ten times and titanium really come handy.
You sure can search every site but you will eventually use my guide

Sadly stocking your fascinate may be the only way to go.
If you are able to navigate around in the stock recovery you might be able to find a way to launch red cwm through it or clear the caches and try reflashing with odin.
Good luck!

He's problem is solved thru my thorough guide
Hey All,
I'm new here but I've been reading threads. I've had and OG droid up till now and was running CM 6.1.1.
I've rooted my fascinate using SuperOneClick and I was able to make a backup once using clockwork mod right after I pushed it to the phone with ODIN but since then it comes up with the stock recovery. I tried to use and update zip to push CWM but that errors out and I have to do a battery pull.
I wanted to post in the threads where I got the tar and zip files but can't since i don't have 10 posts.
All of that said does anyone have a link to a permanent CWM either as a tar or zip. Or am I not understanding how to do this with a samsung phone.
Thanks!
Joe
After you flash clockwork you have to flash either a new kernel or a new rom or recovery will reset to stock.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
The stock kernel reflashes the recovery every boot, so after you enter CW you must flash a new kernel to keep it.
Correct

Ah...
Ah.. I will look around for custom kernels that work with the stock rom as I find it to be ok, when using ADW launcher...
Thanks!
This thread might have something that will work for you. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you are looking for.
Looks promising
I will check this out tonight when I am back at my PC.

could be the culprit, try port 1 on your pc if you know it.. also no root necessary, just odin cwm and whatever rom you choose to flash should root you (most do automatically nowadays). if you're staying stock the super-one-click root method will do the job for ya

Nope cwm is for flashing zip files, odin is used to push tar files, since your pushing cwm to the phone you can three finger boot into cwm 1 time after pushing it with odin and you have to flash a new kernel right then and there or cwm won't stick, and you would have too re-odin cwm (the stock samsung kernel overwrites recovery on every boot)
Root, or root access is just super user permission to "unlock the ability to have access to all the phones files so in this case root access and cwm have no relationship
A dirty usb can certainly cause some issues...just for reference..I use odin 1.7

Like the title said, and now even thoug it goes into download mode, it doesn't go past the att logo when tried to flash the att stock .tar' or if I try and flash any other rom (rooted), it doesnt go past "android" animation. It goes black and that's it. I'm afraid I damaged something really bad, and won't be able to fix it. Any thoughts?
If you can go into download mode, just flash stock Note rom through Odin. I figure that's how you flashed skyrocket.tar.

Like I said, already tried that, my flash counter keeps increasing (30+), but same results. Maybe messed up the bootloader, or something?
which skyrocket tar did you flash? Make sure you get the right version

Can you get into CWM mode?
If you can boot to Samsung logo the bootloader should be fine. I would re download the stock note tar and then Odin. I had a bad tar and had the same issue but I didn't flash a tart from another device. Flash cwm in Odin to see if you can boot into cwm first.
