This problem started when I was trying to root my phone with Rachmat3's method when it couldn't mount sd card... Although I tried I tried with many ways nothing happened... always the same message: failed mount /sdcard..
I managed to root it somehow and I flashed Resurrection remix 1.0.. So far so good.. I downloaded rom manager(don't know why exactly, just read that it was helpfull) and noticed that i had no clockworkmod so i flashed it by rom manager.. I guess this means that now I have it installed in my phone.. which means that if I reboot my phone into recovery mode it will launch cmd or if not through recovery mode i'll find it into sdcard and install it from there... Right??? Correct me if I'm wrong please... So although I see in Rom manager that I have clockworkmod it doesn't launch in recovery mode... even if I try reboot into recovery through Rom manager when it goes into recovery, stops after a while with this message can't found cache/update.zip.. So I think maybe the problem is that this file misses(I don't know why of course.. i sure not delete it myself on purpose) is there any way to download it manually and put it into cache throw root browser??? Dont know... just saying! Or I don't know... am I missing something????
If you want CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which includes it such as CF-root or any of the custom ones.

I used CF-root already... it's the only method I managed to root it cause i'm on ICS... I downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip from this page.
I managed to get clockworkmod touch after all so guess my problem solved!!!
But still have no idea why showed that message...
I've tried installing ClockworkMod via ROM Manager, and it seemed to work. But when I booted in recovery mode it was still the default android recovery. I downloaded ClockworkMod Touch and it installed fine (was able to use it after it installed), but once again when I rebooted it was android recovery.
I've searched around but can't find anything...am I supposed to set CWM as the default somehow, or...?

Rom manager does not fully support SGS2. So do not use it. You cant install a permanent recovery by flashing zip files in stock recovery. Which will only give you a temporary recovery which you will loose after rebooting. If you are on ICS 4.0.4 do not wipe anything in stock recovery. Give more info about what android version you are running on. If you are on ICS flash siyah kernel v5 using odin. Then you will get root and a safe kernel which has proper recovery
hi, i want to flash my active with miui, its zip fine, not ftf, changing extension does not help so flashtools didnt let me flash it.
now im stuggling with recovery mode. my device is unlocked, rooted (su gives rights to cwm and xparts)
but still whether i use cwm or xparts to restart into recovery my phone just simply restarts, ive read theres also option to spam volume down on restart, didnt help aswell.
any ideas?
its 2.3.4.

Hmmm...flash custom kernel using flashtool....all custom kernel have built-in recovery (cwm or twrp or both)...no need to install cwm using xparts anymore....
to boot into recovery, look at the led...when the led appears then press volume down to enter recovery...
I have a little problem i can't access recovery when I press 2 factory buttons. I have it since i installed CM 11 V9. Now i want to install V11 but I'm afraid that it fails and i wont be able to do anything. I thought maybe installing TWRP will fix it but it didin't. I still can access recovery when my phone is on, when i restart into recovery. And when I still had CWM when i was trying to restart phone from recovery menu it said that I might have lost root access.

You really need to modify your post and subject, so people will understand which device you have. No one here will be able to help you otherwise.
