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
Hey guys .. I unlocked my Note 2 last night and it booted me right into TWRP where i was able to make a backup of my system. On reboot, I accidentally installed Clockwork ROM Manager and stupidly installed clockwork recovery on it.
NOW Everytime I boot into recovery it only boots into CLOCKWORK. I have tried using GooManager and the ROM Manager itself to reboot into TWRP but every single time it reboots into Clokwork.
Please help as I really want to flash a ROM ASAP using TWRP!
Thanks

you have to use goo to download the open recovery, which is TWRP. I'll see if i have a zip that i made that has TWRP.
I already did that. I used the GooManager to Install the script and it rebooted into Clockwork instead of TWRP

Go there and download the zip version of twrp you want. Flash it in clockwork. Reboot to recovery and enjoy twrp.

The stock recovery what you have got.
If you press the home button, you can see the menu.
If you want to install a custom recovery, you can use my ported CWM, which works. This recovery is based on bgcngm ZTE V970 recovery, using his mtktools.
CWM 6.0.1.2 for Lenovo A390
md5sum : 8ef0d0a92682a93fe147436d0ce20549
You can install it - considering that your phone is rooted - with the help of MobileUncleTools; Possible ways from A820 thread.
Ok.Thanks sir :thumbup:

Red triangle dead android still appears even with your cwm
Hello Cappa. I too have rooted my Lenovo A390 using framaroot. and installed ROM Manager. Initially, ROM manager complained there is no clockworkmod recovery for my device model. I then flashed your clockworkmod recovery using spflashtool. Successful and ROM Manager finally detcted my clockworkmod too as version 5.x.x.x.. But, then when i tried to backup my current ROM, phone reboots and tries to enter recovery mode. But, then the dead android killed by a red triangle still appears. Help me!!!! Somewhere i read that it is the stock recovery icon and the phone should still be able to enter recovery mode using volume up, down buttons. Is it true. Somewhere, I read that TWRP must be used instead, because LENOVO A390 does not have cutom recovery. What should I do next? Suggest. If TWRP should be installed, I would wish to remove CWM first. Is it possible to remove CWM, after it has been flashed?
Sorry for lots of questions.
Will be grateful for your help.
Regards

There can be many reasons for not having the CWM.
You mentioned that you could flash the CWM.
I have not used ROM manager for MTK platform - I don't know if it is compatible with it. I used Mobileuncletools instead: you can change recovery with this program (can be downloaded from PlayStore - free app)
Right after you change the recovery from stock to CWM, then you have to enter into it.
And then make a backup directly from CWM.
This is my suggestion.
Also, I would recommend that run the chinese application remover, right after entering the CWM.
The reason why I suggest it that the stock rom can contain patches, which rewrite all the modified recovery to stock.
can i flash twrp recovery with same scatter file to remove cwm
One more question. I found on several forums that TWRP recovery works for Lenovo A390 and can be flashed using SPFlashtool. Will flashing the TWRP recovery overwrite the CWM recovery, if I use the same scatter file. I guess the scatter file provides the start and end address for flashing into ROM.

Hello,
I visited TWRP site as well as CWM recovery site. Niether of them supports Lenovo_A390_ROW, not listed. I guess coz the brand is new to the market. ROM Manager too complains that the phone model is not supported and I should wait until an official recovery from CWM is available. However, I googled and got one CWM recovery by cappa for Lenovo_A390 but got the dead android triangle. Then, I googled and got a TWRP recovery for Lenovo_A390_Row and flashed this one too (some friends suggested flashing with same scatter file overwrite the previous CWM). But, I still get the dead andorid with triangle icon. What is wrong? I guess the recovery images that I am flashing are not correct. Do you have the correct TWRP recovery image for Lenovo_A390_ROW?
How can I use SPflashtool and make the downloaded cwm 6.012 a scatter file?

I downloaded SPflashtool and the CWM recovery image. It says I need a scatter file and it couldn't continue. How do I make that CWM recovery image a scatter file to flash and how do you flash that into the phone using SPflasher? Do I need ROM Manager for that?
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..
I have tried to install smartdroid in my s3 using TWRP as recovery manager. Since I previously backed up my stock rom I was able to back from a flashing problem I had "some changes failed". As I saw this can be overcame using Philz I changed the recovery. Then I tried to install, again, the smartdroid. This time it finishes but never booted up correctly.
Now, I am not able to reload my backed up rom (as it was made with TWRP and now I have Philz) nor installing smartdroid. So well, I want to install TWRP but I haven't seen the zip file to install it from Philz recovery What can I do?. Can I use odin from Philz?
Thanks
