I just went from CWM 2.5 to 3.X in order to install the Com Rom. After installing CWM via Odin followed by a modified stock kernel to allow for permanent recovery I tried to do a Nandroid backup in the new recovery before wiping and flashing another Rom but every time I try it gives me an error and won't continue. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

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?
Reflash cwm, boot directly into recovery mode, and flash your custom kernel. The stock kernel tends to block access to cwm.

I downloaded Rom Manager from the market and through that program, I flashed the latest CWM recovery image (3.1.0.0), I rebooted into recovery to check the work and sure enough it was the right recovery....I then found out that Franco had released a new kernel so before I even flashed it, I backed up the phone, than I flashed the franco kernel, that being v18.1 cfs, since I do not have 2.3 I didnt use v18.1 bfs...Its now stuck at the LG screen is franco's kernel's compatible with Clockworkmod recovery ?
Root: Gingerbreak 1.2
Rom: Devoid Froyo Final
Recovery: CWM 3.1.0.0
P.S.- Ive also attempted at flashing franco kernel v17 since I know that was the kernel I was using before I attempted to flash the new kernel
Im not to sure if it's a partial brick or my phone's completely ****ed
I would like to go back to using AmonRA's recovery image considering Ive always used AmonRa....the only reason I even attempted anything with CWM is because I heard it provided more options in recovery
What should I do ?
francos kernel is compatible...its something messed up with the phone....install the backup you had earlier...before flashing a new kernel you have to wipe everything...that may be the cause of error..
If you can boot into recovery then your phone is recoverable. Restore your backup and try again, this time by wiping cache (not everything). And you can easily switch between recoveries, click the ciaox's flashable recoveries link in my signature.

Hello,
I got some strange errors:
When doing a backup with cwm recovery 4.0.1.4/5 some or all apps stored in .android_secure get deleted and i have to restore them with Titanium Backup!
And I've noticed, that the old cwm 4.0.0.2 gets opened when booting to recovery via rom manager (and pressing volume/home buttons)!
(Even manual installing the new recovery won't change this, except that with 4.0.0.2 backups work)
Why is the old recovery always restored? Oo
I'm running newest villian rom with that nymphentamine kernel in version 2.0.0.5
I came from villian rom 2.1 with the cf-root 4.1 kg3 kernel installed, but did a full wipe!
Hope you could understand my problem, my English isn't the best :-(
//EDIT:
Even flashing kernel with odin won't fix my problem!
Another try to explain my problem:
I flash a new cmw version with rom manager (or odin or video the old 4.0.0.2 cwm) and as soon as i restart the device the old recovery gets restored and i don't know why! there is no update.zip or something wich could install the old recovery again!
Please help me, i'm getting mad with this!

Error booting after messing with undervolt ex-tweaks settings.
After trying to flash with odin a recovery I got the msg Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I have a custom rom (RR 4.1.2)
I have a backup from cwm
How can I restore this backup from odin, is it possible?
or
I have to install the rom again, install cwm and then restore the backup?
Please

Flash a stock based kernel like the Philz kernel you will get a recovery along with it, restore nandroid backup.

One more step, please!!!
Can someone tell me how to custom restore from my backup. My backup is 5 months old and don't want to totaly restore it with the recovery.
what options do I have to choose at the custom recovery screen?
1. The bootloader (I can enter into recovery mode but cannot boot normal). Am I gonna loose the recovery func? because when backed up didn't have it!
2. The kernel (To make the phone to boot into recovery I flashed the Philz kernel)
3. ex-tweaks start up values (This is what I mess, if I can restore the values from my backup everything will boot normal)
PLEASE!
Edit-
I try to restore the boot from my backup but error MD5 mismatch came up
Please help
2nd edit
How I fixed it:
After I was trying kernels from the date of my last backup, one worked. The only program until now missing was extweaks, so I first reset the profile from the recovery screen and then I installed it.
Everything works now
I have tried to install smartdroid in my s3 using TWRP as recovery manager. Since I previously backed up my stock rom I was able to back from a flashing problem I had "some changes failed". As I saw this can be overcame using Philz I changed the recovery. Then I tried to install, again, the smartdroid. This time it finishes but never booted up correctly.
Now, I am not able to reload my backed up rom (as it was made with TWRP and now I have Philz) nor installing smartdroid. So well, I want to install TWRP but I haven't seen the zip file to install it from Philz recovery What can I do?. Can I use odin from Philz?
Thanks
