I am currently trying to run GingerMod 0.8 and have flashed Siyah kernel over the stock kernel to solve the status 0 problem but now when I am trying to flash any .zip from the extras, the phone will reboot and goes to the light blue recovery and when I reboot the phone, the internal storage and SD card will be unavailable and the only solution is to wipe the phone and reflash but I am still unable to install any .zip. I would like to know what is the problem and if there is a solution to it.
Thanks in advance.
You need CWM recovery.
If I try to flash from CWM recovery, i get status 0 and flashing still fails even after flashing a new kernel and I have tried creating symbolic links using adb after searching but it isn't working for me.
The extras tool will not work properly with Siyah, as the recovery is modified in the stock kernel to work with it.
You will have to download the items from the extras tool, find where they are downloaded to, boot into recovery and manually flash them.

HERE IS WHAT I DID ..
UNLCOCKED BOOTLOADER WITH DOS PROGRAM
-downloader rom manager and flashed cwm but anytime i turn off the phone and boot into recovery it shows a exclamation point if i dont flash cwm and do recovery through rom manager and i have to flash cwm from rom manager everytime i need to go into recovery which i know is not right.
- do i need to flash Cyan 5.0.2.3-atrix4.1 / ZIP version. to have a recovery so i can do back ups?
- and also i just downloaded the cm7 zip, do i unzip on my sd card copy to internal or just throw the zip on and copy?
-when i was able to get in to recovery after flashing cwm the beta.zip does not show in the internal or the sd card since it copied to both so im not sure if i need to flash that recovery i posted above to see the zip or not? if you could help answer these i would appreciate it.

ok youve got a lot going on there
first things first. CM7 changes the storage locations for the SD cards so thats why you cant see those
the reason cm7 isn't booting is because you were using the wrong recovery. you need to fast boot flash romracers latest recoverhy for that to work.
that should also fix hour disappearing recovery problem,
id reccomend using a fruitcake to get back to stock and starting over
ok so i have only unlocked the bootloader nothing else im trying to get a recovery so i can actually put the cm7 zip in so i can flash to recovery. so i should flash rom racers recovery? and then do i flash cwm after i have the recovery, because the cm7 directions say too do so. i sincerely appreciate you helping me
I had a Optimus One earlier and the way it worked there was flash CWM through ROM manager and no matter what kernel you use CWM would stick.
I wanted to know why in SGSII kernel comes with CWM inside it and does not work
standalone like it works in many other devices.I tried searching for answers but could not.
Thanks.
You can't flash cwm through rom manager because the stock kernel won't allow non-signed zip's, so signature verification has to be disabled in the kernel, i guess the dev's then figure what the hell lets throw cwm into the kernel while we're making a kernel.
Hope you can help me. I rooted my friends phone via odin. When i was about to flash a rom via cwm recovery mode - its opening to a "manual mode", im unable to flash the rom. Hope you can help me with this. Thank You
which rom are you trying to flash via cwm?
did you copy the rom to your internal sd card so that cwm can see it.
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...
Hello Everybody,
my boss got me a Galaxy ACE S5830i in order to test some app development and I immediately managed to root it and install a custom ROM.
These were the steps I took
1- I flashed the update.zip I found around the web, for example here -> http://www.theandroidroot.com/root-install-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830i/
2- I flashed CWM 5.0 and immediately, without rebooting, saw the new Recovery. So it really did install!
3- I updated to CWM 6
4- I flashed thunder kernel in order to make the CWM permanent -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335947
5- I rebooted the phone in recovery mode and got the CWM. Everything was fine up to now
6- I flashed a ROM (after wiping everything). Actually, several roms. I tried first with CGM, then with Aroma and Retribution Beta. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806471 All of them managed to install but none of them works. What ALWAYS happens is that the ROM installs, then I reboot and the phone does not go past the Samsung Logo. Then, and here we come to the weirdest part, when I reboot in recovery mode in order to flash another rom... I get the stock recovery! No CWM, no customizations!
What's happening, in your opinion? I tried to flash a custom ROM with Odin as well, but being on Linux I had to use JOdin and could not manage to flash anything because (as it ALWAYS happens with JOdin) I was not able to load a suitable PIT file. No success with wine+odin as well.
Please, could somebody help me? I can't use my boss phone, and can't return it to him until I get a working ROM on it
Thank you in advance
P.S. When I get to the Recovery I see some rows to the bottom:
-- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /system (Indalid argument)
and (I know 'cause I tried) I can't mount or format the /system partition. Maybe it's related, maybe it's not...

Hello,
thank you for answering.
I can temporary get to CWM recovery for sure, but I don't know how to push the erase_image file (that I found) to the device. I'm only able to copy files on the SD, using another phone, and then flash them from CWM. Is there a way to make adb able to detect the device even when it's in recovery?
Thank you

Are the ROMs you tried based on CM7/9? Because if they are, you need to format your system partitions to EXT4. You can do that with the multi-formatter.
Also, you say that you have your stock recovery back. Check the ROM zips that you flashed for any boot.img. If there is, check which kernel and which version. Some older kernels still have stock recovery.
As even stock recovery cannot mount /system, clearly your system partitions are corrupt. Format with the multi-formatter and flash a CM7/9 based ROM or flash back stock firmware via Odin.
If you choose the multi-formatter, remember to flash a kernel afterwards. And if you prefer, one with a permanent CWM.

Some time ago i tried to install cwm via Odin in my phone and when i rebooted it came out a black screen. I flashed a stock rom and solve the problem. But when i tried to install cwm using the stock recovery mod and going to "apply update from /sdcard" the message "E: Unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" came out. I looked up and saw it may be caused by a corrupted/outdated version on cwm. I tried to solve it installing a newer version of cwm via Odin, tried to delete the cwm folder using apps and commands, tried to downgrade my firmware but nothing worked.
Someone please help me.
Just use the most recent version of PhilZ recovery. Also, I think you can safely ignore this error, because CWM mounts storage in another folder.
still need help =/
Didn't work. i dont know why but i cant delete this thing and cant upgrade it. have any other ideas?
You need to install PhilZ CWM through Odin, I think it don't work using stock recovery. If you can't do it, try to reflash stock rom and then you install CWM using Odin, again.
