yeah, don't believe the rom manager will work in flashing cwm on our devices.
check out this thread, i believe they have an all-in-one utility that will do what you want:

rom manager can sometimes create issues. im still not sure why people use it when you can easily flash cwm recovery through odin and it only takes about 2 seconds. im sure you didnt make a backup considering you were trying to flash recovery. the only thing you can do now is flash a stock rom via Odin now to get back up and running. for the future i would suggest you flash cwm through odin instead of trying to do it via rom manager.
thank you so much for responding. ok I think I might have odin installed on my pc. it says "odin in a nutshell". honestly I have no idea how to use it.
As the title says, before I knew not to install Rom Manager, I installed it. I used Rom Manager to install CWM. However, when I try to boot into CWM, I get the "Android system recovery <3e>" in blue lettering. I have uninstalled Rom Manager, but is there anything else I need to do to clean up anything Rom Manager might have done?
thanks
I did it too, not sure if its bad or ok?
It is OKAY to install rom manager and will not create an issue just having it installed. What you cannot do right now correctly is get it to go into cwm correctly on stock roms.
(It works flawless on cm7 and I use it daily or every couple days. I have even used it to back up the STOCK Samsung rom and cm7 roms. I have then in turn went from cm7 back to stock via cwm with the backed up copy I made with rom manager).
Once you see the cwm3 recovery just reboot phone, turn it back off, three finger salute until you see the Samsung galaxy s screen and let go of the buttons. This will get you back to the proper cwm to install roms.

First you need to download this SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar
kernel, here is the link: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Go into download mode and flash with ODIN.
After doing that you need to ROOT the phone using "SuperOneClick" rooter which
can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
Once you get done with these two steps sucessfully you will be good to go and will be able
to flash any custom rom found in this forum. You will also have the CWM recovery screen too.
(notice: I did NOT say anything about rom manager in any of the two above steps )
Good Luck
Thank you very much for your replies. I am currently running a "rooted" stock rom. Are you saying that I will need to re-root the phone after installing SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar?
Thanks for your help.

If you are really are rooted now then just do step #1 afterwards just make
sure that there is an app installed called "superuser" if you cannot find that
app that means that you are not rooted and will need to root again.
Hi Misterjunky
Thank you for your post
I had exact same problem: installed and run ROM manager before read
Instead use the method you method: flash with ODIN. can I use Mobile Odin Lite mentioned here?

When I try to download the ROM from ROM manager, it tells me that I need install Clockworkmod Recovery, but when I pressed install, it came up with a Confirm Phone Model page which does not have Galaxy 5 as a option. So I am now just stuck here, what should I do, or is the free version of ROM manager pure not very useful?

did you root your phone?
what rom are you actually using?
did you try to update Rom Manager to an earlier version?
I assume your phone is rooted already. Don't continue if it's not.
I thought there was an official one released for the phone. Are you using the newest version of ROM Manager?
If yes, and our phone model is still not listed, then you'll need to install Clockworkmod Recovery by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151396
It involves downloading a program called ODIN. You need to flash (transfer) the Clockworkmod file to your phone through USB. It's all in the thread above.
I had the same problem - installing the latest Rom Manager (free version) from the store didn't have Galaxy5 listed as a ClockworkMod possibility.
I flashed the whole thing by hand with ODIN and installed CyanogenMod - and presto; the version supplied with it had Galaxy5 support and I had no problem doing the "read only partition" installation.
Rom Manager is pretty crappy anyway - I prefer manual installation over it...
DO NOT - i repeat - DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
Theres no compatible version of CWMR it does offer. Flashing any of the other versions, which are made for other phones, might brick your device to the state that Im currently trying to revert (d/l mode only, but seemingly unflashable).

Why did you say that??? If the phone is rooted you can download CWM by RomManager without fear.. the important is that when the popup with phones versions come up, you choose only - ONLY! - Galaxy 5 voice! If this voice is not present into the popup, don't choose nothing at all! Choosing another phone might brick yours!
I downloaded and installed and even only update CWM by RomManager a lot of times and everything was always fine! No problem at all!!
You cannot scare people for nothing: your problems are not bug or issues, but only YOUR problems! and YOUR errors!!!
So, boyz, don't worry installing CWM by RomManager.. but remember to choose only Galaxy 5 voice, no other phone, 'cause you could brick your phone selecting a CWM that is not compatible with our GT-I5500..
I've been following instructions to install Android 4.4 KitKat on Galaxy Mega 6.3 via Cyanogenmod 11.
My device has been rooted for some time, but I have never before installed any ROMs.
I have successfully (it seems) installed Clockworkmod via Odin, yet when I boot into Custom recovery mod, there is no "backup and restore" option, and indeed I seem to be in "Android system recovery", not CWM recovery (see screenshot).
I know that I can't install Cyanogenmod without Clockworkmod on board, so I'm nervous to proceed. Can anyone please advise?

That looks like the standard recovery, not clockwork mod, what model of mega do you have?
You have to reboot to recovery first after flashing custom recovery. That's because the stock ROM checks if the recovery is changed and overwrites it with the stock recovery again.
Rebooting to recovery first will solve the issue.

Thanks for responding guys.
Jzsidebott: It's a Mega 6.3, GT-I9205, in England.
Silesh.Nair: I've installed "ROM Manager" and used "Reboot into recovery", but I get to the same place as before; "Android system recovery <3e>", exactly as the screenshot in my first post.
So I used Odin again, and again apparently successfully installed "GT-I9205-recovery.tar", but still I can only get standard recovery.
Could I ask you guys if you would recommend CyanogenMod Installer?

I'm a newbie at this, so if this method is considered safe I'd be happy to go down that route. Any advice? Cheers.
Don't use ROM manager. Download the cwm tar file and use Odin to flash. Remember to untick auto reboot in Odin and then reboot to recovery first. It will work for sure. Don't flash anything if you are running Knox enabled firmware else you'll screw up your phone.

Thanks. As I said I did use Odin to flash. I just installed ROM Manager afterwards to try to find out whether the Odin Flash had worked. I am a newbie at this and to be honest I have no idea what Knox enabled firmware is or whether I'm running it. I think that for safety's sake I'd best drop the whole thing and not risk bricking my phone, but thank you all for the help all the same.
hi guys
i has a problem to upgrade galaxy note n7000 to android kitkat. my phone can't root properly. also can't flash rom. when i try to install cwm advanced or twrp it fail every time. i can't find the proper cwm advance or twrp for my note N7000DXLSE. can u all guide me from rooting process until the last step to flash the rom in cwm. give me the link to download latest cwm advance or twrp FOR GALAXY NOTE N7000DXLSE except from xda forum. i'm blur to find it in xda forum. give me the simple link
You don't need root to install a rom on those things. What is the error when installing the custom recovery? Does it flash successfully but once you boot to recovery, it isn't there? If so, it's because you have to make sure to boot to recovery BEFORE you allow it to boot to the operating system first. The phone has a script built in that checks to see if the recovery has been modded and rewrites the stock one to it. When the phone goes to auto reboot after installing the recovery, hit the button combo to enter recovery immediately, do your backup, then follow installation instructions for the rom you want.
If this is NOT the error you are receiving, please describe it.

I looked into it a bit, and pretty sure I know why you are having issues. This particular model has the recovery built into the kernel, so you actually need a kernel with the recovery part already replaced with a working custom one that is specifically for your firmware. There are 2 methods to install.
Odin: http://d-h.st/me0
Via Update via Zip in stock Recovery (3e): http://d-h.st/FpR
What slot are you trying to install from? It should be the AP slot for Odin 3.09.
If you want to try TWRP, well, it only works with 4.4.2 and comes prebundled in some Kit Kat roms like Omni
