I am using cwm 5.8.0.9 touch and it wasnt able to flash any of my roms or kernels. i did a full wipe and now its derpham
Go back to the site and thread where you.DL the recovery. In the OP, it should have instructions on installing "the hard way." Don't be alarmed, its really not hard, just not SUPER easy... It's still very easy as long as you follow the instructions. You have to flash the recovery in fastboot

From there, you should be able to install zip from SD card and flash the ROM of choice. After you flash the ROM and it reboots, DON'T FORGET TO FLASH THE KERNEL if you want WiFi and BT to work

So I recently flashed to aospish_jk2_v1.0. Works just fine. But I wanna goof around with some other roms. But when I try to flash to other roms or my previous stock backup, it goes into the recovery flashing screen for about 2 seconds. Then the phone restarts and I'm in recovery. When I reboot the phone I'm still on the same rom..what should I do? Try to use odin to flash another rom?

are you flashing though the clock work recovery? Is the recovery letters blue or green?
I've found the best way to go between roms is always Odin back to stock, then install the new rom. That seems to prevent most problems.

I used rom manager to flash. But when in recovery letters are blue and it says android system recovery. So I'm assuming clockwork recovery actually hasn't installed?

You need to open rom manager and flash the CW recovery... from rom manager then click on flash to CWR... it will take you to stock recovery, click on reinstall packages.
now you are at CWR and can flash new rom.
Ah. My problem was that I never flashed ce recovery properly. Thanks guys.

im having the same problem and i am flashing through cwr dont know how to fix this please help
yesterday iwasaperson was extremely helpful to me. Thanks. I took my fascinate back to stock 2.1 and allowed it to update to 2.2. I then rooted my phone by flashing CWM recovery using ODIN. (red version) I had installed two files to root of drive one update.zip and the other for rooting the phone Su-----.zip. I ran them using the red version and restarted the phone. The phone is now rooted but I can't get back to CWM recovery.
I tried the following: I have ROM manager and flashed CWM but it wom't take. If I try to go into recovery I get the stock Samsung blue menu. I am thinking I need a different (CWM recovery comptabile) kernel or mod to get this to work.
Can someone help?
You need to flash a kernel other than stock, rebooting with the stock kernel will revert back to blue recovery

This (though in reverse order).
You need to reflash CWM by odin, go into Odin immediately upon the first boot (not using Rom Manager!), and flash a new kernel from the SDcard. The stock kernel will trash CWM if it gets a chance to boot.
saf66. any ones in mind and where I can obtain them. And as if I weren't asking enough questions. (Sorry I know I am) Methods to flash them?
Or any others of you please
Go into development at the top of page open stickies and nitsu has a list of kernels,a well as roms

Hi All
I am new to flashing roms, I am having a huge difficulty with flashing roms through CWM, every time I have done so it has always left me in an end boot screen loop.
Can anyone please help, maybe give me a fools guide on how to flash a rom using CWM as I feel like a fool after trying it 7 times and still not getting it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 - I have flashed Lite-ning rom 2.2 using Odin
Help
What are you trying to flash? What rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Usual instructions are to have a rooted phone with CWM 4 or later on your phone .
Download roms zip and copy to phones SD card .
Power off boot into recovery and >> choose zip from SD card select install wait to finish booting done .
But all roms have differing instructions that you must follow to the letter .
So why are you using CWM to flash a rom that has no instructions to do anything other than flash with Odin .
Instructions are at the very beginning of Lightning 2.2 post and are easy to follow with pictures .

Looping can be caused by not wiping the caches in recovery or cwm.

To use cwm you need to download rom manager and use it to download and inststall cwm or download cwm to your sd card as a zip, it will be called 'update.zip' . Use recovery to install 'update.zip'.
If it comes back as unable to verify zip, then you are not rooted. You may also have to install 'update.zip' twice from recovery!
You must format system and caches then find, via cwm, your rom and install. I am using Designgears Cognition 1.13. There are updates to this but they are beta. 1.13 has no glitches. Remember to download this rom to your sd card before you use cwm. I think this may be a good starting rom for you. It is one of the few roms at the forefront of Linux and Samsung technology. If you try for anything more you may end-up designing the roms or getting confused! Other roms are miui, darkys, insanity and others which you may want to look at.
Please be careful with what roms you can download, there are many old ones and you need to have a rom which had the correct crc or area that you use you phone. Cognition has multi-crc's. Also, a problem can occur if you use Odin because you are using 2 hardwares, pc and pda. I once downloaded a bad rom and used Odin to flash and it terminated the flash halfway through. End of phone unless I use the usb plug and resistors to cross wire and get it into download mode.
Hope this helps.

To use cwm you need to download rom manager
You dont need rom manager to use or install CWM .I and many others have installed multiple roms just using a CWM and root flash .
I believe the OP is flashing a non CWM file and that's his problem or not following the roms instructions probably to wipe as you said ..
But he is not replying to his answers .
jje
No offence meant to the OP but it's scary the amount of people who cannot follow clearly laid out instructions from intratech, codeworkx etc.
No harm in double checking though BUT if you are not sure about how do to it then DO NOT FLASH!
In simple terms
.tar flash with odin by clicking PDA only
.zip reboot into recovery mode (CWM) and install from zip and select file
As another poster said it's always wise to factory reset and wipe cache including dalvik if going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 BEFORE flashing the zip file.
Feel free to correct me
I tried installing cwm with rom manager and when I attempt to boot into recovery I am at the android screen with a triangle. I then used rom manager to flash rom racers cwm and I thought it was successful but I got the same screen when booting into recovery. So I used goo manager to flash TWRP. Same issue when booting into recovery. I am unlocked and rooted. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Here's an idea - stop using ROM manager!
How about you try flashing recovery using more traditional methods, like fastboot? That hardly ever fails.

I'm was just following the directions in the thread for installing cwm. The directions are dated since this is an older device. That's why I asked the question. TWRP is the recovery of choice for me on my GS II.

Did you delete (or backup) install-recovery.sh from /system/etc? If not, then that is most likely causing your problem. See the "Miscellaneous" section of this 2nd post from romracer's thread.
Hello,
So I was trying to install cyanogenmod into my mother's phone using the instructions here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100 However, I got stuck at the 5th step of installing a custom recovery (clockworkmod) because heimdall simply refused to work. I have uploaded a pic of the error, I am hoping someone can assist me.... I have uploaded a pic of the error....
You could have check xda for that.
You can get CWM by flashing a custom kernel via odin or by flashing a zip file via recovery.

well I just tried the given steps again. This time it worked, but my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I am able to get into recovery (which is now CWM recovery) but nothing else. It's still bootlooped even after doing a factory reset..... I don't know what to do.
Wipe dalvik & cache.
