flashed clockwork through rom manager ??
Yes, it says 'Replacing stock recovery with ClockwordMod recovery" for a split second, then goes back to stock.
go to my noob guide and grab the update.zip there, don't use rom manager.
That's where I got it from.
okay, so why not odin to jfd as opposed to using the modified 3e?
you have to reinstall packages twice..... at least thats what I remember.

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)

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 am trying to put Clockwork Recovery on the Vibrant and when I first boot it I need to manually select "reinstall packages". I usually have to do this two times in a row and then it boots into the cw recovery. But when I reboot into the recovery it boots back into the samsung recovery and I have to select "reinstall packages" again to get into cw. This isn't normal correct? I saw that I should only have to do this once and then it should boot into cw recovery everytime with no problems. The phone came with 2.2 stock.
In my experience with stock roms, i have to hit re-install packages twice to go to clockwork recovery.
Well what I am wondering is do you have to do that everytime you want to go into the recovery? Also could that possibly affect the phone to where I would not be able to restore it back to factory if something were to go wrong if I flashed a new ROM?
i assume you have rom manager right? You can do select reboot into recovery so that it will bring you straight to clockwork mod recovery. Also there's an app called "quick boot", that can make you go to recovery or download mode faster.
And no that won't affect anything when you want to flash another rom.
Your fine. Recovery will not effect going to back to stock because odin overrides all. Like the other guy said when your using a stock rooted rom you almost always have to hit it twice. Flash a custom rom and it will always go into recovery with out a hitch.

Thanks for the link. I decided it is probably a better idea just to get a new kernal. My vibrant has andriod 2.1.1 right now. I read elsewhere that custom kernals come with clockwork recovery, plus that would eliminate any problems with my current kernal and the 2.2.1 ROM I am about to flash... Right?
Just need a guide for it.
Edit: I'm trying this. How long is it supposed to take?
Edit2: it failed when it trys to stop the adb server.
I have successfully been able to root and install everything on my Mytouch4G just fine, however, when I tried to install my wife's Vibrant, I am stuck. Here is what I have done:
1) I rooted successfully using superoneclickv1.9.1
2) I installed ROM Manager and also downloaded the Auxora ROM to get ready to install
3) When I flash CWM recovery, it says current and latest recover is 2.5.1.2 (concern here that my mytouch says 3.0.2.4 - do different phones install differently with CWM?). When I look at all CWM recoveries I also notice there is two seemingly more current versions available 2.5.1.3 and 2.5.1.4. I have left it at .2 but wondering why all the versions.
4) When I reboot into recovery, I always get the stock recovery and have not been able to get CWM recovery so I am unable to flash my Auxora ROM. I ran update packages numerous times, and get a signature verification error. I have tried a recovery 3e patch that does not work either. I also gave a try at downloading and SDK, but received temp root errors (phone is already rooted).
After reading many posts, I cannot seem to get a direct answer on what I should do to get CWM to actually boot properly, so I can flash a ROM. Someone said to flash the stock JDK rom, but if I can't boot into recovery, how can I flash anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to get a program for your pc called odin to get back to stock. you can find that and instructions on how to use it if you search for the daily updated vibrant bible its GREAT

going to stock eclair heres a a great guide
So going back to stock eclair will then allow me to install CWM recovery then load roms?
Every once n a while I haft do the install packages thing twice before it gives me clockwork green
. Hope this helps.. o n btw u should look at some of the other roms in the bible before u try auxora
yes u should go back to stock eclair for every rom, in my opinion. Then after that do the 3 button combo and install packages and u will have to do it twice and then the green screen will kick in and ready to rock a new rom.
i hope this helps
What is your current firmware?
I see you posted over in the "NOOB GUIDE" thread, you should really try to root using the method posted there and not any one click root apps.
This should be the root method everyone uses:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479
After root your phone recovery should be blue. Choose "reinstall packages" gives you green recovery(this may need to be repeated multiple times to work possibly including flashing CwMRecovery with ROM manager. I recently did it 5 times b4 i got green recovery)Once you access green recovery chose "apply sdcard:update.zip" go into advanced and choose "reboot recovery" This should give you red recovery. Do a nandroid backup and flash away. Good luck!
Another option you could do is to download SGS kernel flasher from the market and flash a voodoo injected kernel with that app. Then when you boot into recovery you will have red voodoo recovery and you can flash away.

The stock 2.2 that Samsung distributed with their Kies tool has a recovery that checks signatures. Everything earlier does not check signatures. So either use something earlier to get CWM running, or use a ROM that doesn't have the stock 2.2 recovery in the first place, or mod your recovery using the method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Using Odin to go back to stock Eclair between your flashes of modded roms has the benefit of taking care of this, and also can clear up left over bits and pieces that may interfere with the proper function of your new ROM.
ok, i followed the instructions and am back to eclair, however, whenever I install packages, it just reboots the phone, not even back into stock recovery. I use the 3 key method and get into recovery, run install packages, and the phone just boots back up...its like it isn't running the update.zip file...
UPD: When i load rom manager and try to reboot into recovery, it says the application superuser permissions has stopped unexpectedly and keeps force closing now....titanium backup wont run now either, my root permissions seem whacked after going back to eclair?
UPD2: I followed instructions to unroot and reroot here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
It removed superuser, then added it back again, but I still get the unexpected error and it appears my root is not in place. I am back to eclair, and now need a certain way to get my root fixed, so I can try and flash CWM recovery. Without root working, it is not letting me. My wife hates me now for doing this to her phone, so those of you that are married, I would appreciate your assistance to get back on her good side...before Mother's day...please? =)
Ok, thanks for all the help, however, I am really back where I started. I can only get stock recovery, and for the life of me, cannot get CW recovery to load. I used ODIN to go back to eclair on the vibrant, have a good root on the phone now, and no matter how many times i reinstall packages i cannot get clockworkmod recovery to load, ever. Any more thoughts out there?
I had this trouble a few months back. Things to check before going into recovery:
You gotta have root access.
Make sure you have debugging on
Install busybox FIRST
Try uninstalling Rom manager and reinstalling the latest version.
apply the recovery for vibrant and let it boot into recovery.
When it boots into recovery Don't try to install packages yet. Just reboot.
Look here for the files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&highlight=3e+recovery
When it boots up push the update.zip to the sd card on the phone, not the external card.
Run the script and it should reboot back into recovery.
You should now be able to install packages.
This way has always worked for me.

thanks...It is rooted, but not sure about busybox...the stock recovery is 2e now since I went back to eclair, so not sure i should follow that link as it talks about modifying 3e and making it backwards compatable. I did use that process before I went back to eclair, and it didn't work for me. I have uninstalled rom manager, and reinstalled...and it is different in that it shows a flashed recovery 2.5.1.2, and never asks me for my phone type anymore...it used to ask me and i had to select vibrant....is the recovery supposed to be 2.5.1.2? when I show all recoveries it lists .1, .2, .3, .4 so wondering if I should use .3 or .4...why does it stay at .2?

OK>>> I GOT IT... Thanks to everyone who helped...Here is what was needed:
1) Install ODIN, install back to eclair
2) uninstall ROM Manager, reinstall
3) I needed to select the 2.5.1.2 recovery from the list again (this was important as it somehow knew of the previous load, but files were missing, or something was just wrong.) It finally loaded properly, and asked for phone type again, so selected vibrant
4) I rebooted into recovery, and instead of install packages, i rebooted once, as starkiller suggested
5) After reboot, went back into recovery from rom manager, and this time installed updates, and it showed that it replaced the recovery with CWM.
6) It rebooted into stock recovery however, so I once again selected install updates, and it went right into CWM recovery, and now I am flashing happy!!!
Thanks again everyone...this was soooooo different than my mytouch4g!
If you have the Kies update of Froyo, the 3e mod will sometimes not work. I've gotten to CWM though , but its best to downgrade then flash a ROM from there.
I just wanted to bump this thread because it really helped me.
I've messed around with numerous android phones, and I've never had thie issues I've had with this phone getting into recovery to flash ROMs
Thank you!
I don't know if what I am doing in completely correct. This is what I did: I Rooted it with super one click the phone had stock android 2.1, then installed rom manager. I installed recovery from rom manager, then proceeded to do up vol/down vol/power and go in to the 2e recovery then I have to press reinstall packages. Is the last step always necessary? Do I always have to go in to 2e recovery and press reinstall packages to get to clock work recovery?

reinstall packages, the phone will restart into stock recovery i think then reinstall again and it will go to clockwork recovery, then everytime you go to recovery it should go straight to clockwork
if it doesnt delete your update.zip off the sd and get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
then just do what i said above and that should work
theres been something dodgy with rom manager not flashing it properly, the update.zip in the link is what s15274n took straight off his phone so theres no need to flash it with rom manager anymore, dont think theres any need to root either, just put that on reinstall twice then your in clockwork
^ Thanks, yeah... really pay notice to option A/B in that thread. I prefer B and just flash my rom immediately (which has root access).
have it rooted (verified thru rootchecker). still can not get it to load any roms. i boot into cw recovery via 3 button. when i try to load cm7 or any other rom it just says install aborted and returns to cw recovery. i have wiped all as directed thru cw recovery but will not load rom. i am on rooted stock rom. thanks.
how are you trying to flash? with update.zip or the other option that i can't think of off the top of my head?

Just rooted? Or did you also install a kernel that contains CWM? If you didn't, you probably are in 3e recovery and not CWM.
i try install zip from sd. it does have cwm installed thru kernel. its not the stock 3e recovery. i have atrix and infuse and they take roms no problem, but this one just doesn't want to. this g s II is whipping my butt. thanks.
update
finally installed cm7 and seems to be working fine. did a backup and worked without any problems. i believe i was not waiting long enough for the reboot. this time i let it set for a few minutes and booted right into cm7. added the google aps and my titanium backup of apps and all is well. thanks for everyone's help.
