We've got root for the phone...and like a dummy I flashed CWM recovery (yep we also have CWM recovery too! ) over my stock recovery.img without first backing up said stock recovery.img
Yep I'm an idiot.
Can anyone here help me out?
thanks.

Ok guys heres the deal....i recently got a samsung fascinate from my sister cause I couldnt mod my inc any more. ok so....i got the phone rooted. i have su perm. i downloaded rom manager and installed it. now heres my problem. i can preform a backup no problem, but when i go to restore that backup it boots into clockwordmod and begins and then get an error about erasing boot img. or something like that. can tell exactly if i get some help from this. also cant install custom roms like i can with my incredible. i know it can be done cause i see roms and all for this phone. can someone please please help me.
Thats because cwm3 will not perform nandroid restores on stock roms. You need to flash cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. Its the best recovery imo for any bml(touchwiz) rom. Go over to my guide in general section and you cand find cwm 2.5 in section 2&5. Oh and ditch rom manager...manually install cwm via odin!
If you're coming from an incredible, also keep in mind you don't have to be rooted to flash roms either, you just have to have a custom recovery. There aren't really any modifications like rooting procedures, S-OFF, etc, required for rom flashing, just odin a recovery and flash your selected rom.
hey guys, searched the forum, found some stuff matching my post but figured i would put out an update. just rooted tonight, ive done these before and i used to be a member awhile ago but forgot what email used. anyway, galaxy s2 sch-r760. recovery problem. CWM doesnt seem to offer a proper recovery and im new to using odin so im not sure where to go from here. how can i go about making a backup if i cant get into recovery? i would like to do a new rom and back this thing up asap. need a new recovery or ideas for one. any help would be appreciated guys!
You need to expand on this.What did you do to root,do you have stock or cwm recovery?
Followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928566 to root. Its a generic CDMA. Root went fine. It tells me that it has root access. I am trying to flash CWM recovery and it won't boot into recovery from the CWM option. It shows the unpacking screen for a few seconds then reboots. As of now I am assuming its stock recovery because I can't get it to boot into recovery from CWM like I was saying
Tried doing a manual boot into recovery and it turned on, said galaxy s2, turned off then rebooted. Its acting like there is no recovery at all....
No help on this guys? Anybody mod generic s2 before?
So hey guys. Im new to all these things but read a lot about it before doing something.
So here's what i did and where it went wrong:
- I unlocked and rooted my phone with the All-in-one-tool from Hasoon2000 (nice tool Hasoon!)
- After that i made a recovery with CWM, which i copied to my PC as a backup.
- Then i wanted to flash the bindroid ROM from DutchDanny and in here it propably went wrong. What i did was the following:
To install the ROM i needed TWRP, so i flashed it and made a recovery in there.
Then i flashed a boot.img from the download section of the bindroid ROM, without wiping cache
So the ROM installed fine, but my IMEI was lost, so i used the recovery from TWRP and it gave me my IMEI back.
But in the thread of the ROM it says it sometimes need a retry to install so i decided to flash the boot.img again (without wiping cache ).
Still no IMEI in the ROM and recovered through the TWRP. But this time i did not get my IMEI back..
So now i have still the CWM recovery, a .img file. Do i have to flash this again with flash boot.img to gain my IMEI back?
Any help would be appreciated!
(sorry mods if its supposed to be in the thread of the custom ROM, but since thats in the develloppers section, I cant post in there)
solved
Hmm somehow i managed to recover it.. I just tried to flash some recovery files with the toolkit. Now its working again.
SOLVED
So yeah on my phone i had a custom rom and a custom recovery (TWRP) i have a backup of my original rom but TWRP can't load zip backups so as a stupid thing i decided to do was to flash another custom recovery over it hoping i would be able to load my backup.... Mistakes were made D; .... So if anyone can help me please i've searched far and wide and none of the solutions i've found managed to work so please help me out. (P.S the phone still works fine but the recovery is gone)
Thanks!!!! OK I TRIED TO FIX IT BUT NOW I MADE IT EVEN WORSE NOW IT WONT BOOT NORMALLY IT JUST GETS STUCK NOW I REALLY NEED HELP!!! but fastboot is just fine

i tried using flashify but its like my stock recovery has got corrupted or something,i really messed up...which is weird for me since i have been installing ROMs and everything on multiple phones over the years...but still thank you
Maybe you corrupted recovery partition, to solve this you can flash any working recovery
