Problem flashing clockworkmod recovery

Hello,
I have just rooted my phone and am now attempting to get a custom recovery on it. After rooting, I downloaded rom manager and selected flash clockworkmod. A message came up and said it was successful, however when I try booting into recovery it goes to the stock android recovery. Any idea on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.
Thanks
Your problem is that you can't install CWM via ROM manager. The success message you saw was that it downloaded an update.zip file properly, nothing more. ROM Manger is also completely worthless for our phones.
How should I go about flashing clockwork then?
Odin via pda

Read the stickies in the Development section, just so that you don't accidentally rush it and mess up.

Flashing Problem

I just purchased a already rooted Vibrant with CM7ninstalled but I want to flash Project V ROM. I put the new ROM on the root of the sd card and boot in recovery both ways and after wiping and trying to install I get a message stating Amend Scripting. I do know how to flash ROMs being that I still have my G2 but this is my first Samsung and it's quite different any help would be GREAT!
Odin back to stock then root then flash clockwork recovery then install rom

[Q] How to fix CWM loop after installing Mobile Odin?

I made a mistake of installing Mobile Odin Pro on my friends Galaxy Note I717 (Bell) and now I can't boot into OS anymore. When rebooting system it just keeps going to CWM. We have tried full wipe it is still stuck on CWM.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Installing Mobile Odin on the i717 is one thing, flashing stuff through it is another, Mobile Odin does not support i717 yet as you may have realized in the process. Did you flash anything using Mobile Odin on the i717?
Was CWM installed prior to using Mobile Odin?
I would download ODIN on your computer, find a bell stock image, and using ODIN on your COMPUTER to reflash it back to stock, and hopefully that will bring you back. OR if you are able to get into CWM, from there flash a i717 version of CWM (or TWRP which is found in the i717 dev sub forum) and reboot into that recovery, have a compatible ROM on your SD card and then flash that, as well as a compatible kernel if the ROM doesn't include one.
There was nothing flashed through Mobile Odin. After that we installed Quickboot Reboot app. Thats when the CWM bootloop happened. So my friend flashed pda-odin-bell-stock.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599127
He is stuck on Samsung logo would not go to recovery.
Does he need to flash the kernel separately (after or before) and which one?
So using the key combo power plus both volume key let vibrate then release the power key not working? If u can get into recovery then u do a full wipe and you should then reboot into stock install.

As far as I know. Samsung kernels include recovery. Because of that the only way to change recovery is to change kernel. I guess that cwm manager failed but somehow it changed the version number. Once again, I'm not sure as all.

Your CM9 kernel already came with latest version of CWM recovery, what else do you want.
ROM manager is not fully compatible and has caused many people, many problems already.

Cant boot CWM Recovery, Stock reboot instead.

Hi just a quick question.I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sasktel Carrier (Canadian), model mumber: SGH-I747M and i cannot boot CWM Recovery. I have deleted the two /system/ files that some advised to do and i know i am rooted because i have SuperRoot but I still cannot boot it. So im wondering how i could boot CWM Recovery (Keep in mind im a pretty new to this stuff). Is it possible to root my phone more than once without bricking my phone?
i followed this video to root my phone and i was wondering if i could go through the steps again and try to reach the CWM recovery mode that way or would that brick my phone?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
You have to flash the recovery to boot into it

If I were to follow the instructions from your link could it brick my phone? I've already rooted my phone. Or is this just putting the recovery into my phone? Thanks for the help!

If you follow the procedure in the guide there is minimal risk of bricking your phone, and fortunately in the unlikely event something does go wrong most of the time you can use Odin to fix any mistakes. This procedure will just flash Clockworkmod Recovery and will not effect root access on your phone.

or just download Rom Manager from the play store and flash recovery that way.
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
I've heard rom manager is a great way to install custom roms. How would you recommend to install custom roms? Through cwm recovery? I cannot install it through rom manager because it says recovery setup instead of flash and when I do try it says i747m isn't supported

The problem with ROM Manger is that on newer devices it can brick your device if you use it to install custom ROMs or try to use it to flash a recovery image even if it is a device that has official Clockworkmod Recovery support. I would recommend either using Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project to install custom ROMs.
