I did...tried to download the latest CWM from there...and flash it using ROM manager, but it seems to give some sort of error .....
opening package....
then...file not found or something....
BTW just having ROM manager setup to use recovery enough? I do have the normal reboot into recovery options etc (long press of power button)...
Also when I open the ROM manager, i get a message saying there is an update available for clockworkmod recovery...i press ok and nothing happens...dont know how to update it....
Maybe a bad download. Did you try downloading it a second time and trying?
As far as possible, stick to using the long-press power method to get into recovery. And do you have a custom kernel? Even most ROMs now give you the option to install a kernel which comes with an inbuilt version of CWM recovery. So unless you're using a really outdated version of CWM, don't worry about upgrading it.

:good:
Am using the the supernexus JB build 4 along with its custom kernel which doesnt have CWM recovery...
Was earlier on AOKP JB with Siyah kernel which had the CWM built in like you said....
But i guess i am losing no functionality by not upgrading so its fine I guess like you said....as long as I can make back-ups and restore them and flash new stuff....
BTW I did download more than once (tried both touch version and non touch versions...so guess not an issue with the download)....

I wanna use the download feature on the rom manager app, but whenever I select "download rom" from within the rom maager app, it says I must install the cwm recovery. The thing is, I'm already using it, I guess the app just doesn't recognize that. Is it safe for me to continue and install the recovery (considering I'm already running it) or should I not, and forget about the app and the download feature altogether?

I'm pretty sure you still have to flash clockworkmod recovery from within RM first before you use it to flash ROMs. But.. I don't think any ROMs are available in ROM Manager other than CM7

Not true at all. In fact some Devs are recommending RM as an easier way to install their ROM.

Which devs? Not the ones on the SGS2 forums here. I believe every single one of them has advised AGAINST using Rom Manager to install anything. Use CWM recovery directly on the phone. Many people have reported problems trying to use RM. And since you are having a problem with it yourself....
Only very recently over the past day or so has ROM Manager become usable. CM7 is one of the ones that the dev is recommending to use it but up until just recently, it's been highly suggested to avoid using it at all costs.
I believe you can -download- roms off of RomManager. However, installing CWM from RomManager is not recommended, because it will cause an invalid signature error. Still flash CWM using the kernel found in the dev section.

Taken from the OP:
atinm said:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM)?
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)
- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
ROM Manager method:
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Samsung AT&T Galaxy S2.
Choose Download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?
A: Just use ClockworkMod or ROM Manager backup/restore facility to go back and forth between stock (or any other ROM) and CM7.
Q: Can I use ROM Manager to install or back up this ROM?
A: Yes.

Phonic, not sure who your refering to when ypu say "every single dev".. there are only a couple.for SGSII- designgears for Cog and Atin for CM, and he already recommended RM so that leaves designgears as "every single dev" and I never said I was having an problem. I also mentioned in my post that CM7 was the only ROM that was available in RM for SGSII. As far as the other comment saying RM shouldn't be used for Galaxy s I guess I dont understand why. I've used it a lot before for CM7 and MiUi.. and now there are more ROMs available (SGSI)
Guys I wouldn't have posted this unless I knew for sure ROM Manager worked and has been used and also mentioned as a method to flashing. Its not fair to the developer for users to go around saying something doesn't work or is highly advised against using when that's not the case at all.
..just saying

I agree with what he said. I used rom manager to flash cwm after rooting and messed up my cwm. I had to reinstall stock rom and root again to fix it. since then I've read the development section not to use the rom manager.

Right now it looks like the best way to get CWM on your phone is by flashing a kernel with it. Check the Development section. Should be near the top!

Followed the instructions on Cyanogen to get my GS2 rooted and all, But I've been having an issue with CWM as the back button will not work, So I flashed another verision, which works great, BUT it will not stick, once back in the rom, if I go back to CWM its the version that is giving me issues again.
It is linked to the kernal? As the version I installed CWM for me.

Just do a backup through Recovery Mode (Press and hold when powering om phone - Power, Home Volume up)
That did not seem to help, I do have clockwork installed but I cannot get a new version to replace it permanently.

What kernel did you user to root your phone was it a chainfire kernel, also what rom have you flashed.
Whatever you may use, either of the ROMs have their own qualities and defects. But one thing I have noticed: when using Rom Mannager app the battery gets emptied quicker. The difference might be of 2-3hours/day. I have tried this on my Galaxy Note and my Galaxy S2 and as well on my Galaxy S using diferent ROMs and experimental mofdified OS.
Installed different rom and modem/radio no matter what I do, I cannot get another version of CWM to actually stay on the device. Consistently reverts to the version I installed originally.
Any other ideas?

Recovery is built into the kernel on Samsung devices, flash a kernel with the cwm recovery version you want built in.

Flash a chainfire kernel they all come with CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Already replaced my kernel, No luck, Still cannot replace my broken CMW with another version, permanently.
I currently have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6 and I'm on CM9 RC1. I want to update to RC2 but I want to backup first. Backup in recovery keeps failing ("Error while making a backup image of /data!"). I thought I'd try updating to the latest version (6.0.1.0), but I can't find a clear answer on this (I read multiple posts on these forums): can I just flash it using the update from zip option in recovery? (I think you have to do it twice in a row?) Thanks.

From what I've heard you should never update CWM. Also are you backing up in recovery? or Using (God forbid) Rom Manager
CWM is easy to install.
There are two methods that I know of.
The first being using ROM manager though it could (ironically) break it and your device end up in a soft brick.
The second is to manually push it using adb, but first you must download the CWM for our phone (i777) from the clockwork mod website.

Don't tell him to use rom manager.
CWM is part of the kernel on our phones, so you would have to find a kernel with the version of CWM you want to install and flash that to update it.
Are you sure you have enough free space on your SD card to do a backup?
I am using recovery, not rom manager. If I shouldn't update it, how should I backup without getting that error?

I can't stress this enough to people.
For the ATT Samsung Galaxy S2, model SGH-I77, ClockworkMod is a custom recovery built into a custom kernel. It is not separate and you do not flash or update it separately. Please do not attempt to update ClockworkMod at all, this will only result in a soft brick.
As mvi57 said, if you want a newer version of CWM, you'll have to find a custom I777 kernel which has the newer version built in.
I wish we could place this warning somewhere where newbies can see it while trying to flash stuff. I'm glad we caught OP before he soft bricked. OP, I don't mean to make you sound stupid or anything by such a highlighted post, I just want to warn as many newbies as possible, and I'm hoping they see your thread and thus this post.

That was it. I had past backups taking up space. Thanks.
Also, when I backup my phone to my computer (manually), some files don't copy over (I'm pretty sure it's because the file names are horrendously long). Is there a way I can get around this?
And karate, I take no offense to that. I prefer clear posts like yours, and I actually remember that it's part of a kernel now. I knew back when I first rooted, but forgot, as I'm sure many do. Maybe it should be added to a sticky about updating?

Just install the latest cm9 nightly for the i777. It will install cwm 6.0.1.1... our device is different than others, cwm must be built into the kernal.
Problem Solved. Found the correct version of recovery and bootloader. 4.2.2 roms will now install. Thank you to those who were willing to help. Now that I have educated myself on this tablet, I will begin developing for it.

Good morning everyone
Just yesterday, I chose to update my tablet to one of the xda posted JB roms. I'm coming from an ics build 38 AOKP that I've been on for several months.
After I'd confirmed a successful download, I performed all the necessary cleaning procedures pre-flash, flashed the rom, and was stuck at the splash screen.
So I went back to the ics build and attempted the same with a cm-10.1 build with the same effect. Upon asking the first developer for advice flashing his rom, I was advised to update my recovery which was an older 5.x version of CWM to which another member directed me to the latest version.
Prior to this, I had attempted to use rommanager to update the recovery. During that process something happened in which the device rebooted and froze at the splash screen. I attempted a reboot into recovery via power+volume down and when selecting recovery, I only got a black screen.
So I took the Odin route and dropped the latest cwm tar.md5 through pda in download mode which allowed me to freely re-enter the rom and reboot without issues. However I still only have a black screen when attempting to get into recovery.
Any advice on how I would be able to restore my custom recovery without returning everything to factory images and starting over?
Thank you to those willing to spend the time and effort to help me solve this problem.

You need to flash a new recovery. Grab a copy and install it using ODIN and you should be all set.

I misread what you said. Apparently you've got your rom installed but recovery isn't working, correct?
I had no problems on my 7510 using CWM v5.5.0.4 and with CWM Touch 5.8.3.1 - either of those should work if you flash them with ODIN or Mobile ODIN.

Ok cool I'll give 5.8.3.1 a try if I can find it. So, in my reading I was under the assumption that cwm recovery needed to be above 6.x.x for use with 4.2.2 jb roms. Are you currently or have been on a 4.2.2 rom with your tablet using the recoveries that work for you?

No, I've never tried any JB roms, so I didn't need the latest CWM. If nothing else, trying a different known-working CWM will at least prove that you're able to flash recovery and have it working.. then you can go find a 6.x recovery for the Tab 10.1.
Progress Report
So I managed to shell instal a version of TWRP and the recovery works perfectly! However, I am unable to use any roms except aokp ics (milestone6) lol
Could this be a recovery issue? Still somewhat unfamiliar with the Tab 10.1, I assumed there was an hboot that I could access to flash a recovery image but all reboot attempts into hboot (4.0.4) ended in a simple reboot.
Back to recoveries however, I attempted to flash different versions of CWM tars through Odin3 v1.85 and they all ended in solid black screens. Somewhat at a loss as only the Milestone 6 aokp build is accepted to my tablet and no other ics or jb builds. Somewhat off topic, is there no requirement to RUU upgrade the firmware to something later in order for the table to accept newer recoveries and hboots?

I do not see myself having access to a computer anytime in the near future. I had no problem rooting my fascinate from my phone using the framaroot method but I am having no luck flashing a new rom. I want to flash hellybean to get rid of this froyo crap but I just can't seem to do it. If anyone has a way to do this without a computer your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

CyanogenMod installer is coming out soon, and apparently it's going to be compatible with this phone right out of the gate (since it uses download mode and already has an unlocked bootloader)
I did try to use ROM Manager but my install of CM10.1 was pretty much borked after using it. Results may vary, but if you really can't use a computer, download ROM Manager and get the newest CM10.1 build for your phone from get.cm. Flash it through there. It is strongly recommended to use a computer though, since ROM Manager uses an outdated version of ClockworkMod Recovery that may or may not work.
