I'm rooted with CWM installed but when I boot into recovery, I don't have any option to backup/restore. It's the light blue recovery menu and I'm booting by holding down the vol buttons while pressing power and then letting go of power when the boot screen logo appears.
[EDIT] Apparently something got hosed with the install of the CWM recovery kernel. Reinstall fixed it.
Any ideas what I'm missing? Would really like to make a backup in addition to Titanium Backup before I start tweaking, etc.
Are the clockwork recovery extra options listed on the list? Should have like advanced and backup/restore etc. if you don't have those options fROM the recovery menu then cwm recovery didn't flash correctly.
Fyi works on mine I have cwm, root and a backup from the recovery menu

Yeah I figured it out like 2 minutes before you posted that. And yeah none of those options were there, it was really odd. Simply figured maybe something didn't happen right with the kernel flash. Appreciate the response

I cannot use ROM Manager to preform a backup. When I select "Backup Current ROM" it reboots, goes to recovery starts "backing up" and doesn't do anything. I waited there for 20 minutes and it didn't move. Took out the battery and tried again. Same deal.
Any help?

Yep, rom manager and clockwork recovery are 2 different things packaged together. Look at the top 2 options in rom manager. First, click flash clockworkmod recovery and choose vibrant. Once done click reboot into recovery. If you see your normal recovery screen thats ok. Click reinstall packages and you will be taken to clockwork recovery and see the nandroid menu. Volume keys for up and down. Power key to select.

Also, one thing to keep in mind, this puts an update.zip in the root of your sdcard.(internal) keep it there. Never remove it. If you need to flash a different zip file like you may have done to root it, use clockwork recovery. There is an option to choose the zip you want to flash without renaming the file to update.zip. The reason being is if you move or delete the update.zip from your root, if something does go wrong you will not be able to get to clockwork recovery by reinstalling packages in your normal recovery screen to restore the backup you will have made.

ok si i have a similar issue, i rooted fine, i installed rom manager i did the clowork download for the vibrant but when i click boot into recovery it says installing package or whatever but then it says it couldnt verify signature and then yeah it fails and reboots. its never happened to me before, i tried to factory reset, unroot and try from fresh but still no go
Hi guys,
I just downloaded Rom Manager today. I was successful with "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'. I wanted to flash Nero v3. I rebooted the phone by holding both volume buttons and power button at the same time. I get into the
2e recovery (blue screen). But I read that i needed to be in the green recovery screen to flash the rom. Also someone in the forum said try, 'reinstalling packages', but that didn't do anything. After a few times trying to reinstalling packages, i noticed that Titanium backup and Superuser Permissions FC all the time.
I'm not sure what I did wrong? Did I over do it with the reinstall packages? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks inadvance.
Push the nero v3 rom to the root of ur sd card, and then select the install rom from sd card option from ROM manager and select the file and thats it..the phone boots into recovery and the flashing starts..

He's asking how to go into Clockwork first haha, your idea may work, but sometimes, it needs to go into the regular blue screen recovery no matter what to go into the clockwork.

Check your SD Card, be sure you have a zip called update.zip, thats where the clockwork is stored.
What exactly is happening when you press reinstall packages? like nothing?
Usually, mine does this it boots into the blue screen recovery then i select reinstall packages, then it reboots back to blue screen, and this time when i press reinstall packages, it turns black for half a second and then goes into clockwork.
If you could explain it in more detail of whats happening, then i'd be happy to help you, it may be that your update.zip is corrupted?
try the idea of the guy above as well, it might help.

Your rom manager needs unstalled and reinstalled.
Should work.

UPDATE
I ended up having to odin back to stock, rooted, download Rom manager and 'flashclockwork recovery. I was then able to flash to nero 3 with voodoo!
MIUI 110281 Glitch-V12
When I use RomManager to go into recovery the phone uses ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.8 (orange color) . And I can't do anything with this. If I select anything I just get the little top-hat
When I use the reboot menu to go into recovery I get the Glitch Kernel - CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4. This one works great! I would like to only have the Glitch Recovery if possible.
When I use the 3 finger method I get CwM Voodoo LagFix Recovery v2.5.1.x I flashed this with Odin a while back. I get a host of errors regarding mount. To get any where I have to 'apply sdcard:update.zip' which of corse takes me to ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.8 and I have the same mount errors...but I am able to select menu items.
Questions:
Is it possible to have the phone only use the Glitch CwM recovery regardless of recovery method?
How can I get the latest CwM recovery to replace the older CwM Voodoo Lagfix?
Is this normal or do I need to take my phone to a psychiatric hospital?
This is completely normal. MTD roms use a different recovery and just leave the old orange one on there. It doesn't work at all, gives the errors you have seen. Nobody really knows how to make the 3-finger thing go into the right recovery. Just use rom manager or whatever to get the right one.
Got it. Glad I am not the only one! Thanks for the answer
From what I have been able to figure out the 3-finger recover is what ever you flash with ODIN.. I'm kinda new so I cant point you to the right files, but an ODIN flashable recovery is what you want

No. Not at all. He either needs to reboot to recovery with the reboot options aka holding the power button or using adb reboot recovery. If he flashes an mtd recovery with odin. His phone wont get passed recovery and have to start from scratch.

Hey guys, I recently rooted my phone and flashed clockworkmod, I noticed it wasn't working properly when it was only giving me blank screens when I made selections. Well I attempted a nandroid back up from the rom manager app and something strange happened, now I can ONLY boot into the faulty recovery image. As flashing a rom from this image is not an option is there anything I can do to get a rom up and running? I can still boot into download mode if that helps.

I had the same problem when I first flashed cwm. The button mappings are changed in the newer cwm. You have to use the soft keys in the bottom of the phone to make selection. Hone button is to select, not the power key.
To fix it, just power off, go back into download mode and flash the cwm kernel again, they did it for me.

Hello all
I am having a small issue with GTab
I can reboot into recovery every time from the power and volume+ combination, but sometime will not reboot if I go to the menu and reboot (power-off) menu, or if I go into CWM ROM Manger and reboot to recovery. sometimes I get the in and other time just reboots everything comes up. just like rebooting from the menu at time quicker..
I am running CWM v.8 Vegtab 7.1.0
now I believe this start after I flashed from CWM ROM Manger the a version CWM .. can remember the version (sorry ) screen was Orange and had the logo CWM in the center.. this is when I noticed the problem, then I reflashed back to V.8 thinking that would fix the problem and it did not.
I hoping this make sense I know it not world stopping or fun stopping, but it is a pain..
hoping someone had seen this problem before.. and could give me some direction to look at
Jim
1. Using the Power and Vol + key is the recommended method to boot into recovery. Avoid using the other methods.
2. Uninstall ROM Manager. It works fine on phones, but, is known to cause problems on the gTab.
3. Make sure both your ROM and your CWM are built for your bootloader (1.1 or 1.2). Since you said you have VEGAn-Tab 7.1.0, you can find out the version of your bootloader using the info. in this thread.
Suggestions:
1. Copy the zip file in post #3 of this thread to the SD card and then "install" it (once) using CWM.
2. If you're on a 1.1 bootloader, these CWM versions are available: CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 and CWM-4.0.1.5
If you have the 1.2 bootloader install one of these CWM versions: CWM-3.0.2.8 or CWM-4.0.1.5. All are available on this board. Do a search.
thanks rajeevvp
I am using bootloader 1.1
every step worked great.. you are cool android person..
went with CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 since that what I had in the first place
Are there any pluses going to CWM-4.0.1.5?
thanks for your help again..

I like that it tries to use the external SD card first and only then falls back to using the internal one for backups, restores and update.zip installs. Other than that and the new menu colours, there aren't a lot of externally visible differences.
More info. in this thread.
rajeevvp,
thanks for the information.. about version of CWM.. I think I found the one that will not work with the reboot menu "power off" menu.. I have installed CWM-4.0.1.5 and tried the menu option and also running GScript to reboot in recovery mode and will not do it all the time with 4.0.1.5.
what happen is that is just boots normal, which is not a bad thing.
and I know you do not like the idea of going into recovery mode without doing the power and volume + method.
just thought you would like to know what I found out.
thanks again for all your help..
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?

I didn't understand this. Are you saying that CWM-4.0.1.5 does not do "Reboot recovery" correctly everytime? And the ROM also? Both should usually work (but, I don't recommend it) on the 1.1 bootloader.
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No need. Erase misc only if you get stuck on the 3 birds or if you go into a reboots-into-recovery loop--both of which are unlikely given your CWM (bekit-0.8 or 4.0.1.5) and bootloader (1.1) versions.
rajeevvp,
Sorry for the late Reply..
only it I use Gscript reboot to recovery, Menu from the shutdown .. Select reboot and then either reboot or reboot recovery.. if I am using CWM-4.0.1.5 with VegenTab 7.1.0
I can always go in to recovery mode from the volume and power button combination.
using bekit-0.8 I can get it to reboot into recovery from anywhere..
yes, I thought it was werid too..
thanks for all your help
Jim
I don't recommend doing "Reboot to recovery" using any tool--GScript, the ROM option, or the CWM menu item. Your tablet may "hang" at the 3 birds splash screen or go into a "always-reboot-into-recovery" boot loop.
