So the current iterations of cwm seem to have trouble working reliably with the newer froyo ROMs, and koush's recovery (although seeming to work correctly) is quite broken. So......
please find below a new recovery package that should work for any ROM for the fascinate, mesmerize, or showcase.
This is a "red" cwm recovery, and it will work with both voodoo and non-voodoo installations.
cwm-recovery-ALL.zip can be flashed via any cwm recovery.
if you are using odin, then use the cwm-recovery-ALL odin (.tar) package.
updated 3/29 - thanks to GizmoDroid for help with fixing fix_permissions script and root permissions typo that screwed up nandroid restores
updated 3/30 - fixed 'umount' typo - actually *fixed* fix_permissions this time - fixed odin/heimdall recovery attachment
Thanks, I just installed it. I'd rather not have a broken clockwork mod.
thanks, will give this a try!
ok, so I flashed this in the old cwm and it does come up red, but also says CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery, is that right?
In what ways is the old cm broken with froyo? I haven't noticed any problems.
Thanks! Good to have a fully working recovery again.

Yeah, I'd like to 2nd this question. I have DL30 and CW worked for me in setting that up. Granted, I haven't tried anything else after that, but I'd like to know too.
Well I've had weird things happen when flashing stuff (I was using the "new-cwm.zip") , seemed like data being written where it shouldn't be? Just flashing theme files or own stuff I want to add, and I've had the following stuff happen:
Nuked my radio, had an unknown baseband and calls would never work, fortunately Radio Odin fixed it.
Had some /data apps disappear. Had some /data/data disappear. On reboot had Setup Wizard pop-up, even though I still had my Google account registered.
Hoping this new clockwork is completely safe. I suspected that clockwork was responsible for my weird happenings, so data-wiped and haven't flashed anything, so far fine functioning.
Using this is it easy to flash back to a prior set up, for me it would be back to dj05 w superdark and voodoo5?
Ive been holding off on froyo bc I need wireless tether, preferably unreported tether. But I really want to play around and see what the fuss is about. Ive downloaded every dl30 rom, havent installed one fearing I cant go back easily

/data on the fascinate is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
koush's recovery mounts /data as mmcblk0p2 (THIS IS OUR /DATA/FOTA. THAT'S BAAADDD)
under most circumstances this does not matter , because recovery.rc mounts data CORRECTLY before cwm gets to it, but there are circumstances where /data can be unmounted and then remounted, in which case cwm is gonna mount mmcblk0p2. If things get written there, at best you've got a **** load of FC's to deal with. At worst, a dead radio.
I've pointed this out to koush before, but was met with a "half-response", and to date it not been addressed (except for the recoveries that I've posted)
installed. When I go to do a backup, it gives the messages below. Backup seems to run fine though
E: missing bitmap progress_empty (code -1)
E: missing bitmap progress_fill (code -1)

Thanks, jt.
Copied to sdcard, booted into recovery, ran the program, keep coming back to green, no red.
ETA: Interesting. If I go to recovery from ROM mgr and try to load from sdcard, it does nothing, but if (while in ROM Mgr) I load from SDcard, it works. Got the blue screen, ran update, red appeared.
I likewise get the error message mentioned previously, but got it at install. Backup seemed to ahve run fine.
Installed like a charm, thanks jt!

Thanks very much for addressing this issue.
For a while, I felt like a fresh n00blet, wondering what I was doing wrong. I tried flashing versions of supposedly compatible cwm's in different ways, always coming to the mounting errors.
Other than the errors from the missing graphics, this one works error free.
Scared to mess with this since i haven't experienced any problems with my current cwm stuff from pre dl09... Might just go ahead and do this tomorrow. For some reason I feel more comfortable using the odin method, so I can do all this over my Super Clean 1.0 with Neon GT theme and not have to do any data wiping or anything first?
So this makes no sense and I think its a weird coincident but as soon as I flashed this my beta version of swype started the force close loop..
EDIT: so weird, I had to uninstall the installer and swype itself using titanium backup and then download the installer and install again (had to do it all twice). Seems to be working again now tho..
Superclean 0.7.. aka Froyo.. Thanks devs!
I've always had horrible timing with things. I finally got the guts to root and get SuperClean 2.8 onto my phone, and the next day 2.9 is out. Awesome. XD
Anyways, for the question. How do I go about flashing 2.9 over my current 2.8? Do I do it through ODIN, or can I put it on my SD card and install updates through recovery? And I know there was an issue with flashing 2.8 straight over 2.7, does anyone know if there's a similar problem with this one? A step-by-step would be great, but if not then pointing me in the right direction would be awesome.
I flashed 2.9 over 2.8 through the recovery, no problem. No wiping or anything...it did get rid of some other things I had flashed but I simply went back into recovery and re-flashed all my stuff like the MIUI music app and Windows Phone notifications, etc.
Everything should be fine.
Just download the zip from the thread, boot into recovery, and choose install zip from SD card.
Oh and be prepared to be freaked out when your phone starts talking to you on its first boot.
I flashed 2.9 over 2.8 through the recovery, no problems to report so far. I didnt wipe data but i did wipe cache 3 times and davlik 3 times before i flashed SC2.9 zip.
Might not have to do that but so far i have followed this rule that i was told a few weeks back and so far no issues.
Will it still say "install update.zip", or should it say the actual name of the SC2.9 zip file? Because mine says update.zip, so I'm assuming something is missing >.>
Also, I'm not seeing where to wipe dalvik cache...
To install SC 2.9 you just need to place it on your sd card. Boot into recovery (wipe cache) and install zip from sd.
To wipe dalvik cache you need to go into the advanced setting in recovery.

First, are you running voodoo or non-voodoo? Will you be flashing voodoo over voodoo, over nv or nv over voodoo? Makes a difference.
im trying to flash in rom manager and its saying that cwm 3.0 is not supported for updating or something like that. anyone else have that problem?? or am i just doing something stupid
cwm 3 does not support what you are trying to do. Need to get the old red for all on there. Let me look for a link.

Hey guys. I've been an Android & XDA user for a while now, so this question shouldn't be about a nooby-sitiuation.
My friend bought an AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-i777) this week. I've been trying to flash CM7 ever since. I got the rooting done, the properly recovery (with no signature / "abort" problems)
The rom seems to keep bricking the phone. Its simply unflashable. I seen tons of people on XDA who got it to work, with barely any serious problems. I troubleshooted the problem myself, and its simply just the CM7 roms. I would do a full wipe, and then install the rom like I would on my other Android phones, and the installation is successful. When it boots, it gets stuck on the Galaxy SII boot screen (not the splash/boot animation screen) and it would stay on it with a yellow warning triangle on the bottom.
I tried flashing other roms, like Cognition X2, and they worked. Its just CM7 on this phone... which is odd because CM7 is usually stable (nightlies aside.) Especially since the 7.1 stable version was recently released. Anyone can help me get the rom up and going? Would be highly appreciated.
did you try to wipe dalvick cashe as well when you wiped data?
I just flashed it tonight myself and all I did was reboot into CWM and did a Wipe data/factory reset and then Wipe cache partition. After doing that, I simply flashed the cm7 zip file that was loaded on my internal sd. Rebooted and no problems.
I didn't have ANH ISSUES installing it but I know I read that some.people bad to flash it twice initially. So flash it, then when it goes back to the recovery screen flash it a second time. I also remember users on the international SGS2 bad to do the same thing. Most have no issues but I think they found that it depends on what you used to root your phone (on the SGS2 internationals) and I THINK some had to do the same here. Try it and if it works just hit the thanks button.

if you flash it and get stuck in a bootloop, just pull the battery, and 3-finger back into recovery to flash the rom again.
keep doing this until you get it up and running - took me a few times, including a couple of battery pulls.
How do you boot into recovery? I know On the SGH-i777 you have to hold the Vol down+back+power to get to the Download mode, but I tried everything to get to the recovery itself.

Word.
Edit: To boot into recovery vol up+vol down+power
Had the same problem. Read somewhere to install the ROM twice in a row in CWM without rebooting inbetween. Worked like a charm.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll try this in the morning once I get my hands on the phone again.
Saw this type of behaviour on occasion with cm7 on my aria. Sometimes caused by a bad download of the rom. Did you verify md5s ?

Don't forget to do a master data clear /reset before trying to boot the new CM7 rom for the first time - clear out the old stuff. Works perfectly here.

I'm having the same issue. I'm getting signature errors when trying to flashCM7.1 stable. I've downloaded it two times now with the same problem. My question is, I'm trying to flash from on the phone itself, storing the zip in the download dir on the phone as I don't have an sd card. Will this even work? I've tried looking around and all I can find is flashing from an sd card. I can get one, I just haven't yet.

Hmm, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong then. I did a factory reset, and wiped the cache and get the same thing. I know it wiped because now I have nothing setup on the phone when I boot normally. Suggestions?
Quit downloading the CM7 builds for the International Galaxy S II. They will NOT work. That is why it fails. Look for the Galaxys2ATT build.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I got the build by going to the cm7 website, looking by device, finding the galaxy s 2 and grabbing the stable one. So perhaps that is the incorrect one and I'll look closer for one that has att in it, whenever the site isn't going up and down. They seem to be having issues today.

Hey guys, last week I installed MROM (http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-mrom/) and had been using it without having any problem, I loved it. Yesterday, I heard a kernel that can be good for battery life so I wanted to install it. (http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-kernels/ sv build) I installed it and first boot took about 10+ mins. but after first reboot it was normal. And I started having problems like it freezes and the phone shut down itself. sometimes restarts itself. and when using an application (like facebook, dolphin browser, games etc.), it suddenly closes the application.
I also tried to install other kernels but it gives me an error when I try to install it (installation aborted error) . how can I go back to my first MROM times? but I don't want to lose any data in my phone like my applications and settings. How can I do it? Can anybody give me some advice?
Also, what's that MROM update.zip? Is there anybody who knows it? If I install it, does it solve the problem that I'm having?
If I install MROM again, does it delete the apps in my phone? Its an emergency guys, I can't use my phone normally. Thanks in advance.
Happy new year!!
Wipe cache & dalvik cache, then reinstall mrom. Your apps, etc should be unaffected.

I'm about to lose my mind. :/
you could try to re-install MROM and see where this gets you - do not wipe any data/system when installing and you should have everything still on your phone.
IF that fails to solve problem you could try and use Titanium back up to save YOUR apps (not system apps) and then do a full wipe of your phone and re-install MROM
I'm around for a bit so will check on how you're doing
good luck
when i try to reinstall, it gives me the same error. now im going to back up my all apps and after that factory reset and finally will try to reinstall mrom. I'll write when I do this. thanks

what happens when you turn on phone?
are you able to install another rom?
It might be an idea to download a fresh copy of MROM and see if that helps?
also, after putting the new rom on the phone but before installing go to 'mounts and storage' (in the CWM menu list) and format the following 'pre-install, system, osh, data and cache'
I hope that helps.

Perhaps give TWRP2 a try as the recovery. I've had more success with it over CWM with newer ROMs and never went back to CWM.
When reporting an issue... it's a fantastic idea to describe your problem as clearly as you can.
"Error blah blah blah Bad ... blah blah blah" doesn't really help anyone to help you.
Cwm gave your an error, now I can only assume it was a status 7 error.
That means your recovery is older than the type of script used in the zip to flash the rom.
To fix this, do as the poster above said and get the latest twrp, or find an updated version of cwm.
I personally use twrp so I'm not 100% sure where to find the latest cwm if it's not here on xda.
Now... if this isn't the error you're getting. Do yourself a favor and just flash that rom and
POST EVERY SINGLE THING CWM SAYS.
LETTER FOR LETTER.

Hi,
what did you mean you went back to stock? and what is USSD?
here are my issues:
Hi, I really love this CM 10.1 ROM I am running the 10.1 201330209-unofficfial-quinctatt. Everything works fine except when I reboot the phone it loads the boost screen starts up and then freeze once done with the boot screen.
SO I need to restart the phone a few times to be able to get it back on.
---also I have 5.8.4.3 CWM in stalled and try to use ROM manager when it works even got the paid version but booting into CWM works best.
I am unable to install the latest cm-10.1-20130306-EXPERIMENTAL-quincyatt-M2.zip. I get a.
--- "zip status 7 aborted message.
Also when I try to install cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-quincyatt-M2.zip. it installs fine,
But when I try to place calls.
---there is no sound on the speaker or external or internal.
I would like to stay current on the nightlies but are these just some of the glitches that come with it?
---Also I tried installing the GB-modem because my GPS wont lock, I think that is when the phone quit allowing me to make calls(no sound on speakers) which help the gps a little I guess? not really.
I am now back on the i717UCLF6 baseband.
If it wasnt for my nandroid back up I would be totally LOST!
I mostly use liquid Mod it works best, love it! but would like to be on 10.1 CM. Still no gps lock though. I REALLY NEED GPS, i drive a lot for work.
I know there is a lot going on here buy ANY! help is very much appreciated!
Install the latest TWRP recovery ...IMHO And although I might get flames thrown for this, use recovery to flash directly, and not through the rom manager app.
It has caused users some grief...
Regarding your sound and boot errors, boot into recovery and wipe all caches ....cache/dalvik cache .....then reboot too test. It sounds as if your flash may be dirty somehow. And if restoring apps to your new roms by using titanium backup or other apps, restore only the APK and not the associated data stored by those apps.
CM nightly builds are buggy yes, and will have errors not found in stable builds. But having used the same build you are referring too only a day ago, I can tell you that my sound was okay with the M2 rom.
And I commend you on the creation of a proper nandroid backup. It seems all too often we find users in real trouble with no backup in their pocket to save them.
Call me anal retentive, but I flash bleeding edge tweaks every day, and I keep backups compatible to all 3 recoveries we have for the note just for this type of emergency.
The latest TWRP and a cache cleaning should help you with both the current build, and future builds to come.
Good luck, and happy flashing ...g
