I'm having trouble installing any rom using CWM I've even tried 2.x and no luck their either.
I do a full data wipe and all the basics before flashing the rom
I'm trying to install either the Roms Vanilla GB by JT or OMFGB and each time I get this error
E:Error in sdcard/(name of rom)
Status 7
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Try using the cwm4 fixed which can be dowloaded directly from the cm7 op by jt1134. Flash it with odin first. After you replace battery, three finger salute into the new recovery and flash from there.

Hello,
I have just rooted my phone and am now attempting to get a custom recovery on it. After rooting, I downloaded rom manager and selected flash clockworkmod. A message came up and said it was successful, however when I try booting into recovery it goes to the stock android recovery. Any idea on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.
Thanks
Your problem is that you can't install CWM via ROM manager. The success message you saw was that it downloaded an update.zip file properly, nothing more. ROM Manger is also completely worthless for our phones.
How should I go about flashing clockwork then?
Odin via pda

Read the stickies in the Development section, just so that you don't accidentally rush it and mess up.

Ok, i rooted last night with SuperOneClick (psneuter) and I installed ROM Manager and flashed the Vibrant Recovery.. But now I can't access CWM, i just go into stock recovery. any ideas as to why?
Try reflashing it with rom manager, then when you to reboot into recovery you will likely have to select reinstall packages at least once when you boot into your regular recovery. Until you flash a custom rom this is likely the route that you will have to take each time you boot into CWM
Odin back to stock 2.1, then root with eclair guide. Install the update package twice and the blue recovery should turn green.

Hmm odd what stock rom are you using? Ie ka5? Jk2? Etc. If you are running any stock froyo rom then as movieaddict said you will want to Odin back to 2.1 jfd which has 2e recovery instead of 3e, now I know there is a way to modify 3e recovery to make it work like 2e but iI'm not familiar with the process, search the vibrant development section and you should be able to find the mod there

if he rooted using superone click, it's good guess he's running 2.2. Also, if he can't get into CWM (except he hasn't stated it gives him a signature verification error yet), then he's also probably running a 2.2 build.
The easiest way is to use odin/heimdall.
there are 2 options in this path; odin back to 2.1 (jfd) then flash whatever rom you want from there, or odin a 2.2 voodoo kernel (which has cwm built in) and then flash whatever rom you want.
I just purchased a already rooted Vibrant with CM7ninstalled but I want to flash Project V ROM. I put the new ROM on the root of the sd card and boot in recovery both ways and after wiping and trying to install I get a message stating Amend Scripting. I do know how to flash ROMs being that I still have my G2 but this is my first Samsung and it's quite different any help would be GREAT!
Odin back to stock then root then flash clockwork recovery then install rom

I have tried to flash Darian's rom and cherry blur v.5 and both have resulted in my atrix getting stuck at the "Dual Core technology" screen with "unlocked" at the top. If I reflash the stock gingerbread rom ive been using it works. Ive flashed with cwm both times. I can fix it by reflashing via fastboot to the gingerbread rom i initially flashed to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342. Both times I attempted flashing, i tried using a nandroid backup to restore but both times I get an error formatting /system.
I also tried reflashing cwm and got the same results. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Edit: so ive been tinkering...there is something wrong with the /data. I am unable to flash the data.img from the original rom as well as format the data through cwm.
If you got error formatting system the reason is you have a outdated CWM.
Bet you have a older version.
Does your cwm img file say this?
recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img
If not u have a old version update it.

Hi All
I am new to flashing roms, I am having a huge difficulty with flashing roms through CWM, every time I have done so it has always left me in an end boot screen loop.
Can anyone please help, maybe give me a fools guide on how to flash a rom using CWM as I feel like a fool after trying it 7 times and still not getting it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 - I have flashed Lite-ning rom 2.2 using Odin
Help
What are you trying to flash? What rom?

Usual instructions are to have a rooted phone with CWM 4 or later on your phone .
Download roms zip and copy to phones SD card .
Power off boot into recovery and >> choose zip from SD card select install wait to finish booting done .
But all roms have differing instructions that you must follow to the letter .
So why are you using CWM to flash a rom that has no instructions to do anything other than flash with Odin .
Instructions are at the very beginning of Lightning 2.2 post and are easy to follow with pictures .

Looping can be caused by not wiping the caches in recovery or cwm.

To use cwm you need to download rom manager and use it to download and inststall cwm or download cwm to your sd card as a zip, it will be called 'update.zip' . Use recovery to install 'update.zip'.
If it comes back as unable to verify zip, then you are not rooted. You may also have to install 'update.zip' twice from recovery!
You must format system and caches then find, via cwm, your rom and install. I am using Designgears Cognition 1.13. There are updates to this but they are beta. 1.13 has no glitches. Remember to download this rom to your sd card before you use cwm. I think this may be a good starting rom for you. It is one of the few roms at the forefront of Linux and Samsung technology. If you try for anything more you may end-up designing the roms or getting confused! Other roms are miui, darkys, insanity and others which you may want to look at.
Please be careful with what roms you can download, there are many old ones and you need to have a rom which had the correct crc or area that you use you phone. Cognition has multi-crc's. Also, a problem can occur if you use Odin because you are using 2 hardwares, pc and pda. I once downloaded a bad rom and used Odin to flash and it terminated the flash halfway through. End of phone unless I use the usb plug and resistors to cross wire and get it into download mode.
Hope this helps.

To use cwm you need to download rom manager
You dont need rom manager to use or install CWM .I and many others have installed multiple roms just using a CWM and root flash .
I believe the OP is flashing a non CWM file and that's his problem or not following the roms instructions probably to wipe as you said ..
But he is not replying to his answers .
jje
No offence meant to the OP but it's scary the amount of people who cannot follow clearly laid out instructions from intratech, codeworkx etc.
No harm in double checking though BUT if you are not sure about how do to it then DO NOT FLASH!
In simple terms
.tar flash with odin by clicking PDA only
.zip reboot into recovery mode (CWM) and install from zip and select file
As another poster said it's always wise to factory reset and wipe cache including dalvik if going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 BEFORE flashing the zip file.
Feel free to correct me
