Hi
I've unlocked the bootloader of my phone, then installed CWM. cwm was working fine for days, then I can't boot into cwm.
cwm is installed. (I can install zip files from pimp my rom where cwm in required)
But I can't install any roms cause I can't boot into cwm menu.
So what do I do now? Can I directly reinstall cwm? OR I've to flash back to stock ftf file and then again install cwm?
Its weird. :s

I restored to 2.3.3 after bootloops in my ICS rom. But now when i go to CWM and select an option there is nothing but the CWM logo in the background. What did i do wrong? Since i cant flash a rom with CWM is it safe to use odin and just flash a stock ICS Fw
You don't have Rom Manager installed/use it by chance, do you ?
Nope dont use it
OK. Something has broken Recovery then (Rom Manager has a tendency to do that if you use it/have it installed on a phone with CWM which is why I asked).
If you're back on GB, you could try flashing a CFRoot kernel in Odin. That would probably give you CWM back. Or you could flash an stock ICS rom as you mentioned. Then you could root. Or not.
Up to you. Shouldn't be any dramas flashing a stock ICS rom in Odin tho, the probs with CWM won't stop you doing that.
is there a way to install a rom without getting a cwm bootloop? i always get a cwm bootloop if i install a rom i have the latest cwm from roach. any ideas?

I've tried installing ClockworkMod via ROM Manager, and it seemed to work. But when I booted in recovery mode it was still the default android recovery. I downloaded ClockworkMod Touch and it installed fine (was able to use it after it installed), but once again when I rebooted it was android recovery.
I've searched around but can't find anything...am I supposed to set CWM as the default somehow, or...?

Rom manager does not fully support SGS2. So do not use it. You cant install a permanent recovery by flashing zip files in stock recovery. Which will only give you a temporary recovery which you will loose after rebooting. If you are on ICS 4.0.4 do not wipe anything in stock recovery. Give more info about what android version you are running on. If you are on ICS flash siyah kernel v5 using odin. Then you will get root and a safe kernel which has proper recovery
need some help please. just did something pretty dumb in a moment of not thinking. i went into rom manager and flashed cwm recovery (I'm using Hairy Bean 1.51 with TWRP) over the damn TWRP recovery, then did a system backup through rom manager. now I can boot into the rom, but no chance of recovery (as i'm guessing there is a twrp/cwm and possibly jb/ics conflict - if the rom manager flashed ics cwm recovery)
how do I get back my twrp recovery?
NB. Rom manager shows both TWRP recovery as well as CWM flashed and I can choose which i want to use... but when I pick TWRP, I still cannot access recovery. Is there an ADB command I can use to remove CWM and then reinstall TWRP? (I already tried installing the TWRP over it hoping to overwrite, but both recoveries still exist)
FIXED, NM.

Same issue here too' please share how you fixed it.
I have a rooted MDK Verizon S4 with SuperSU installed. I had been trying to use Rom Manager to install clockworkmod recovery and every time, it comes back with the message that it has been successfully installed. When I try to boot into recovery, it wouldn't work. I finally installed GooManager and went ahead and installed TWRP. Now I am able to boot into TWRP with no issues, but when I try to overwrite and install clockworkmod recovery from within Rom Manager, it again comes back with the message that it has been successfully installed, but it still boots into TWRP.
I understand that I can use TWRP to switch over to a different rom, but I am just befuddled as to why I am not able to install clockworkmod. Can you guys please help me understand what I am doing wrong?

You can either ODIN the CWM edition you want (for example Philz Touch Recovery - http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltevzw) - get the md5 file of course for ODIN. You can also try to flash the zip file of Philz Touch Recovery from your SDCard (same site - http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltevzw) through TWRP. Reboot into recovery and see what happens.

Thanks. When I was trying to install CWM within Rom Manger, I ended up paying for the touch upgrade, hence my desire to try and install CWM form within Rom Manager... It's just a bit frustrating that I can't figure out what's going on..
