What is your end goal? You can't really flash cwm because it's built into the kernel.
If you're trying to go back to a Samsung based rom, you *NEED* yo Odin back to jfd and start from there (there is no other way, it must be Odin/heimdall and jfd).
If you're trying to flash to miui or a later nightly, "flash" vibrantmtd, or better yet, flash the rom by hand in recovery.

I read some where I needed to use ROM Manager to update CM7, but if I just have to download it, copy it to my phone, reboot into recovery, then GREAT!!

People suggest rom manager all the time, but really it's just a gui to the recovery, with the ability to download roms.
Yeah, just flash while in recovery.

I'm not sure if you can install it with the stock recovery because I use the ClockworkMod. You should just get Rom Manager from the market and flash it. It's simple. For Ext2 you can use it on a stock kernel fine with OCLF in the market. For Voodoo (Ext4) you need to flash a kernel that comes with it on a Rom that supports it. Like Bionix.

Whoops. Learn something new everyday. It didn't work for me on stock JI6 though, so I figured you needed a compatible ROM.

[Q] Stock 2.2 to Bionix V

Stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway...I'm running stock 2.2 but I want to go to the new Team Whiskey Bionix V...do I need to ODIN back to 2.1 and then root to do that, or can I flash the ROM from stock 2.2?
Here are the steps I followed after receiving the official 2.2 update via Kies:
Gain root access here:
Full Steps to Acheive Root + ClockwordMod Recovery with new KA6 2.2
Then install the latest Bionix through ClockwordMod Recovery like any of their previous roms.
Hope this helps!

I'd try redownloading the zip.
Worst case scenario, I'd Odin flash to JFD (I always repartition...not sure if it's necessary or not) and install CWM/Bionix from there.

Well yes, but you asked why flash that kernel, and that's why.
Unless you have a version number fetish and want cwmv5!

What I did was flash the codeworkx kernel with Odin (I was using cf root previously) and then flash CM/ from the new clockworkmod recovery I got. I didn0t have any problems, but you have to do a full wipe and I suggest you format \system also.

[Q] ClockworkMod v5.8.1.8 won't stay

I'm curious if anyone else is or has experienced issues with ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.1.8?
When I boot to recovery I see, CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
I've flashed CWM 5.8.1.8 and then I see the version change but, if I reboot the phone or reboot recovery it reverts back to v5.5.0.4....
Any tips, tricks, or ideas?

While it's an assumption, CWM stands for ClockWorkMod?

READ WHAT I'M WRITING. Are you using rom manager to flash cwm? Jeez...
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
No. Short answer, No.
Long answer, No, I just posted a picture of what i'm using. (did you see it?)
I'm rebooting into ClockworkMod recovery.
I then select install zip from sdcard
I then select choose zip from internal sdcard
and select the appropriate .zip file.
then recovery reboots into v5.8.1.8.
I'm not trying to use any app within the running OS to flash the newer version.
Is that clearer?

Okay that helps me out now that you finally answered my question, so you're trying to flash a newer version of cwm from the older version of it? Or are you flashing a rom too, I never worry about flashing cwm as all roms/kernels have a ones packaged in I feel it's unnecessary

yep, that's all I'm trying to do.
I've done the same thing to upgrade CWM on my old Atrix. So I'm not sure why it isn't working this time... Can't imagine the process would have changed.
I moved the .zip file to the external sd card and flashed it but that still didnt work. it didn't work when i tried to flash it with odin either.

Personally I would just leave it it isn't a huge deal, or flash a kernel that has a newer version

This isn't an Atrix and recovery on the GS2 is not like any other phone. You can flash that zip all day long its not going to do a thing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that cwm is baked into the kernel. Without changing to a kernel with the new CWM, it will always come back to whatever the kernel you are running has baked into it.

Absolutely correct. Its not as simple as a good old recovery.img anymore.

Use the Siyah kernel and it has the touch clockworkmod recovery baked in. The others above are correct, it is something that has to be changed in the kernel. When the first touch recovery came out I too tried it the way you did by flashing it in regular cwm. Then you will see and can use it. BUT it does not stick because it has to he added into tue kernel.

It can he used the same way basically with using the buttons for volume +/- and power to select. Or clicking on whatever option, or sliding your finger up or down to the selections and double tapping to select. It is kind of a cool featute bit not that big of a deal. I am using my own personal made version that is basically the same as hos rom and you can use the siyah kernel that came/comes with it and it has the touch version of cwm so you can try it out. I dont usually spend much time while in cwm except to flash things. So it is not a huge deal or deal breaker either way.

You will need to use Odin. No way around it. And you will need to flash back to stock 2.1 then you can use the cwm recovery update.zip from the esental hard to find files thread and that will install cwm once your on 2.1 then you can download what ever ROM you want and flash it. FYI you will need to flash the ROM twice. Once will give me the jb recovery then the second time will install the rom
