no red recovery will not work. cwm4 fixed for cm7 isth correct recovery, it must be odined. However I have herd a few report that cwm3 will work too, but I personally have not tried.
Well considering the file name you need to odin to flash cm7 is "cwm4-fixed-for-cm7". If you are on a bml rom (touch wiz) you need that recovery first.
good day.
I know the recovery is for cm7. I was asking if the voodoo recovery would work. Is there a .zip of the cwm4?

I used ODIN to flash JL4.
I am trying to root, putting update.zip onto my internal sd. Upon reboot into Android system recovery 3e, and choosing "reinstall packages."
I get the following problem:
E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Suggestions? Is the problem that I can't root JL4 2.2 via update.zip?
Edit:
Use the cwm flashable JL4 instead. Geoffcorey did the hard work for us and provided root.
The recovery won't let you flash unsigned zips (3e). You need to mod your recovery using untermensch's fix. Although I wonder if you can use AutoSign or something like that to sign the zip file.

I just tried the AutoSign on the cwm update.zip, jk6 recovery update.zip, and the root update.zip. None worked. Hopefully somebody has better luck. I'm going to revert back to Eugene's rooted froyo and flash the cwm version of JL4.
Well I flashed the CWM JL4 instead, geoffcorey was nice enough to provide the link, and he resolved the recovery 3e issue and provided root. thanks.

The consensus seems to be not to use ROM manager and to ODIN Clockwork Recovery Manager. Unfortunately there seems to be a little mentioned bug where CWM won't stay after the 1st time you reboot and I can't find a solution to this yet.

CWM will stay after you boot but you need to change your kernel. After you boot stock kernel overwrites cwm. Definately use odin to flash cwm, boot to recovery, should be red, flash custom kernel. I use JT's undervolted voodoo. If you voodoo itll take a little while to boot while voodoo converts your system.

Island beat me to it but he is exactly correct. I kept the stock kernel at first but i had to ODIN CWM 2 times as the first time it was blue but after 2nd time it was red. But the best way is to flash a custom Kernel which will keep it red

What I meant to say is what you said above: you can boot into CWM right after you flash it, but if you restart again it will go into stock recovery.

I've ODIN'd CWM multiple times but it still gets overwritten with the stock recovery. I'd like to stick with the stock ED01 kernel but can't find any ZIPs to flash this kernel via CWM.
You need to get the 3e recovery and put in /system/bin/ I had the same thing happen to me.. look up 3e recovery. It a common problem when the Galaxy S is updated to 2.2. Once you put the recovery file into the /system/bin/ you can flash CWM and it will all be good
Good Luck

No, what is needed to get into CWM is you need to flash CWM via Odin. Take the battery out when going into download mode. After flashing, unplug the USB cable and put the battery back in. When you go to start the phone, boot straight into recovery. The stock kernel reflashes recovery on every boot, so if you boot the phone normally, the phone will continue to have stock recovery. Once in CWM, flash a custom kernel and you'll be set as the custom kernels don't reflash recovery on boot.

This is unfortunate because I used to run a version of CWM just fine with the stock EB01 kernel. With the current CWMs I finally found a way to get it to work with the stock kernel: rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.
got it working yay

Tell us how.
i just waited some time and placed the debinged rom from adrenylne on my sd card then used the 3-30 tar and put my self in red voodoo flashed a different kernel theme then rom and all is good
I've been using AmonRA recovery since I got the Optimus in December and I am comfortable with it. I've tried out Miks port of CM7 and while it's great, i sorely miss the battery performance I was getting on Froyo with Void and running 824mhz stable without any problems. That and bluetooth is sorely missed. I want to give OpenOptimus a shot, but I am extremely weary of trying to install Clockwork Mod again, because the one time I attempted it I ended up bricking my phone. Thankfully, the guy at the Tmo kiosk in the mall just gave me a new one no questions asked. I wouldn't be so hesitant to install CWM on my phone if I could install the img just like I did with AmonRA instead of trusting Rom manager to do it for me.
I don't suggest you to flash recovery via ROM manager. IMHO ClockworkMod is better,has much more options. If you'll flash the 3.1.0.0 version using my flashable zips you won't brick anything. And remember to give openOptimus a shot,you won't regret it
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure I understand correctly. I thought that clockworkmod was the recovery that is installed by Rom Manager. All of the instructions for installing CWM simply say to install Rom Manager. Ultimately, I do aim to install OpenOptimus but I need to switch from running AmonRA recovery to CWM recovery. And what exactly do you mean by flashable zip? I installed AmonRA using the ADB and an .img file. it there is a thread anywhere here that clearly details the process to install CWM recovery, please point me to it.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that you could actually flash a recovery from within the recovery. I just switched to CWM and flashed OpenOptimus. Waiting for first boot as I'm typing this.

yes a stated above u can just enter into recovery and flash any recovery u want from the link pointed out above and its safe ,since u already have recovery installed u dont need to flash recovery via rom manager and just remember that any backup taken from any recovery would be restored using the same recovery. To clear all doubts the problem has been solved and installing recovery from rom manger works flawlessly now. Note:Its advisable to use rommanager for ppl not having recovery installed just download the latest rom mager and flash choosig ur phone type.
slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can get the T-Mobile branded P509 kdz stock firmware just in case I end up needing to roll back to stock? I can't seem to find it anywhere, the_ERROR's thread on howto is closed and the links don't work anymore.

nope its not safe at all using rom manager ~
I flashed CWM and my friend died a few days later.
So no it's not safe.
For me there are no problems with clockworkmod and RomManager. Flashed cwm via RomManager and everything is fine here.

it not about using rom manger for flashing rom ,it just to get the cwm recovery and then going into recovery and using it from there.
Many had problems flashing rom from clockwork so that not advisable but installing cwm is fine 100% sure
M happy with CWM
Don't use tricks like ROM Manager... It's just matter of learning to use a recovery, not that difficult.. just IMHO
You just need to use ROM manager Once to get recovery. After that you can delete the program and enjoy the CWM recovery.
I have been there, I have done it, You do want it
CWM works beautifully without problems..
I use rom manager just to reboot to recovery, as i am too lazy to use the 3 button combo to goto recovery.
Flashed ROMs and zips with CWM. 100 % safe untill now..
The new updared Rom Manager has solved that issue.

How much I've learned in just a month!
I can't believe I had to ask that question. I know now that there are numerous ways to flash recoveries. My personal preference is to do it manually using the adb.

No, it is not 100% fine, in fact it lacks any sanity checks whatsoever.
Just flash CWM through your current recovery and you'll be fine. It's by far the safest method. If you flash through ROM Manager and after reboot you get stuck in fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015332 ... happened to me, unbricked it with some slight changes to the tutorial. Nothing important.
PS: If you don't use Rom Manager you can always do a $su then #reboot recovery in a terminal (Downloadable from market) to reboot directly to recovery.
So Im Rooted. Can I ? And Should I Install CWM using the rom manager program? Also is there a specific CWM version for the Fascinate ? Is installing with Odin better? Where do I find the diffrent versions of CWM avialable?
Facinate seems to need ClockWorkMod Version 2.5.1.2
Facinate seems to need ClockWorkMod Version 2.5.1.2 or it will hang, (as there are two separate language barriers and it Version 3.x.x.x at this time can't communicate with the other language. See the Link Below for more Details).

Do not use rom manager at all. It does not work for the Fascinate. Also don't use anything from the link the previous poster provided. All the CWM's in that link are for the Epic 4G not the Fascinate. Most everything for the Fascinate is now written in Edify script so you have two options for a working CWM and both are better flashed in ODIN in my opinion:
CWM from times_infinity - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36791/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5
CWM from nemesis2all - http://www.multiupload.com/8VDE8GX69P
So IM going to assume that Rom manager is useless on the fascinate? I should be using odin for all rom management? Thank you for All the help Im learning so much! you guys Rock!
So are there any diffrences bettween the two CWM versions that are avialable ? And where do I Find info on both of them ?

Information on times_infinity's version can be found in his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046905
The one from nemsis2all gets flashed to your phone when you flash the OTB kernel. There is no thread for nemesis2all's CWM. It is basically the same as the one from times_infinity except it includes the ability to enable and disable the 100mhz step when using an OTB kernel. If you are not using an OTB kernel from nemesis2all you may want to stick with the CWM from times_infinity.
If you are unfamiliar with using CWM here is a great guide on how to use it including screenshot visual aides:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...-clockworkmod-recovery-w-screen-captures.html
ROM Manager has been useless for many months now for the Fascinate.
I only use Odin to flash recoveries and to flash back to stock.
CWM is what you use to flash custom ROMs by using the "install zip from sdcard" option, and then navigating to the zip file of the ROM you downloaded. Just use regular USB mass storage to get the zip file on your phone or just use your phone to download the ROM.
We dont use rom manager much.but we will once we get Official CM7 support.

I use ROM Manager to boot into CWM. the older version of CWM that is brought up when I do the 3 button boot doesn't work with CM7.. is that correct?
When trying to look for new ROMS on Rom Manager - it wants to install CWM, though I already have it, obviously.. I'd do it, but there is no option for the i500 Fascinate..
I'm so very confused.
I use rom manager to boot into recovery and I'm running CWM 4.0.1.0 (blue text) with no problems
I can vouch for not using RM on the Fascinate. I tried that, used it to flash CWM, everything seemed legit, though CWM didn't want to work right. I looked around, saw that RM is useless, and decided to use some other CWM file through Odin. Had a near-brick and had to restore everything from stock. Killed my sunday afternoon, that's for sure.
I am having an issue with flashing CWM via Odin and keeping it there. I flash CWM via ODIN, I've tried 3 diff versions of CWM , Red One, Voodoo (blue one) and the 3.0.0.8 via rom manager (orange one) each time i flash one, i can boot into after flashing it via ODIN, but when i reboot the phone. CWM is gone and its back to the factory samsung recover "for all devices" nonsense. I have been able to obtain root by flashing via the SU zip method and I have root, i just can't flash a rom b/c cwm wont stick....any ideas? search returns nothing!
Thats because you need a modified kernal for cwm to stick.
Here is the modified stock kernal for a froyo rom. put this in the pda function of odin.

did you odin a cwm recovery after the modified stock kernal?
Make sure your battery is removed when entering download mode to flash cwm via odin.
Once it shows successful, remove the cable.
insert battery and immediately enter cwm using the 3 finger method.
Flash a custom stock kernel.
choose "reboot system now"
let the system boot up.
then boot back to cwm recovery and flash your rom of choice.
