so I recently screwed up while flashing Doc's latest ROM. Bricked my phone and had to go to the service center to get it fixed. Did not have the 3 button mode enabled.
Got it fixed on the spot and I want to get the ROMs installed again.
But now i have a new series of issues. I cant seem to get CWM installed.
ROM Manager give me a "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
When i startup ROM Manager, it states "Superuser was not found at "/system/xbin/su"."
Installed Superuser and no diff. i get the above message in ROM Manager.
And I get a "failed" message when i boot into recovery to flash update.zip taken from here. http://www.mmus.us/forum/showthread.php?t=13957
What's wrong?

If it helps, I got it from the Samsung Service Center @ PS(singapore)
update.
Managed to get root access thru this

but still cant get CWM installed. placed the file in the phone, changed it to update.zip. and it "failed" to install.
Try getting the free Rom manager from market and patch up the update.zip from there.
I deleted the update.zip. then reboot into recovery thru Quickboot. then ran the update.zip with errors again.
3e is a *****.
Can't install CWM on Android 4.0.3 Evo 3D
I had updated my HTC Evo 3D OTA then unlocked it using HTC Method. Unlock success than I flashed recovery with CWM Shooter. Flash success but when I load recovery, the phone just boot up normally. When I open ROM Manager it says:
You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instruction to root your phone.

You prolly fixed this already but in case someone else has this issue. Try installing Busybox from the market.

I rooted my phone with eclair installed and used clockworkmod recovery with no issues until I one day wanted to go back to stock and attempted a restore of the backup I made right before flashing the OverStock ROM. The phone wouldn't boot, so finally got the Overstock to go back. Phone worked fine for the most part, but from then on to get into recovery mode, required shutting down and using button presses (Up/down vol/PWR button) and it would go in fine. Could never get Clockworkmod to go into recovery mode with a click. Saw that (finally) Samsung has published a Froyo update, so took back to stock eclair using ODIN3 so I could use Kies mini to update. Did a factory reset to remove all old info directories and data. Update went perfect, but want the option to use the rooted apps (Titanium backup and ClockworkMod--purchased apps) to play with my phone as I see fit. Used SuperOneClick to root phone and verified I can get superuser with using terminal emulator, successfully executing "su" command. Problem is I can't get into CWM recovery. Only get "Android system recovery <3e>". Tried uninstalling CWM and reinstalling. Re-Flashed CWM recovery and it lists version 2.5.1.2 as current and latest.
I obviously need CWM recovery to flash different ROMS, but wanted a current backup before starting. Can't get any further until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. I was a noob, just a month ago, but was feeling pretty confident until this happened. Guess I'm still a noob, but just a little more dangerous now. Thanks in advance.
Just noticed that I wasn't in a phone specific thread, so here's my phone details... Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile).
CWM issues with Milestone
In the last update of the RomManager was added support for version ClockWorkMod 3.x for Milestone - but still unable to use the CWM as standard recovery.
Using another recovery as OR1.4 you can start CMW from the SD card - but that does not solve the problem of RomManager stay with completely limited functions.
The Rom Manager is having updates constantly and I think we have a working version for Milestone soon - but in part I'm upset to see that the Milestone is listed as a supported device - when in fact it is not.
I bought the full version of Rom Manager because I believe it is a great tool and I hope someday I can use all its functions.
I have the same problem. I use OpenRecovery for Sholes to do those things. I hope we can use those tools like a normal user even a day.
I am trying to install cyanogenmod 7 but rom manager just doesn't seem to be installing the flash clockworkmod recovery option, it takes a second to finish and it says "sucsessfully downloaded clockworkmod" not "succsessfully installed clockworkmod" so when i try to open recovery mode it keeps going to the defualt android recovery mode and i can't install CM7 because the install fails at verification.
I tried using an older version of the clockworkmod flash file but it says "an error occured while downloading your recovery", so i don't know what im doing wrong it could be because i am installing this on a motorola flipout which is identicle internally to the droid so i have been using that ROM but i think this is unlikley the problem.
Please help.
thanks!

Even if it's identical on the inside, there might be firmware differences that you are not noticing. Try flashing a ROM for the Flipout instead.
I can't seem to get a ROM to install on my motodroid - I have the latest ROM Manager and the ClockworkMod recovery app flashed but every time I try to install a ROM (either downloaded w/ ROM Manager or via a file saved to the SD vai the USB cable) I get the attached alert display. Alt+Ctrl+Del reboots me back to the starting point...
What's wrong?

So that key combo worked?
well.......
It brick the phone but i was able to recover from it. How can I get the apps on my sd card back on my phone.
seems like holding 'x' work to get me back from brick
I was able too restore back to the rpm i was using before i started with a backup in rom manager......awsome so now i can play without worry,,,,,, thanks so much!!!!!!
More on the problem
So, I consistently get the screen in the original post if I try to select the option presented after the download is complete to automatically boot to recovery and install the ROM - but if I install from a .zip while already in ClockworkMod, I am successful in installing a ROM. The problem seems to come with doing an over-the-air download in ROM Manager then attempting to transition to ClockworkMod to do the install. Alt-Ctrl-Del while on the screen displayed in the original post reboots and gets me back to my existing ROM...
It seems like something is not working as it should be, but it seems I have a way to make things work...
Tom
"Reboot into Recovery" also fails
I just tried to "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM Manager and that also failed (gave me the dead screen shown on the original post)...
Booting while holding x gets me into ClockworkMod successfully. I currently have ClockworkMod version 3.1.0.2 installed (it has given me the most success so far).
Any suggestions?
Tom
It seems I was wrong - I'm not currently able to boot into recovery using the x button during boot...
Tom
Getting better
I flashed back to the "current" ClockworkMod - 2.5.0.1 - and now I can "Reboot into Recovery"...
Maybe not better...
Errr My device seems flaky - I tried to install a ROM and the transition to ClockworkMod did not work again... Isn't this supposed to "Just work"?
More success yesterday
Once I got Pete's Gingerbread ROM loaded/installed (via .zip file) my problems getting to ClockworkMod and trying new ROMs seem to have cleaned up.
After performing the "e-mail connect" (to do that I had to turn off Droidwall) I was successful in downloading directly to the phone and flashing a new ROM.
Good luck all...
Tom
I want to put a decent new ROM on this old thing but I'm have real trouble. I updated from Android 2.35 to 2.36 as I was having issues (and also as most tutorials point from 2.36). I've rooted and using Odin and and that had CWM Manager 2.0 installed on it. I added ROM Manager from the play market so I could update to the latest ClockworkMod as I understand I need that to put on a new ROM such as 4.4 - before updating it has ClockworkMod version 3.0.0.5 on it. So using ROM Manager I try and update to the latest ClockworkMod and all seems to work ok (it downloads etc) and on rebooting with the CWM Manager app it gives this error:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
A old thread on here says this: I had that problem 2 when I started. Turned out to be a recovery bug. With some batches of our phone it seems that you can only enter android recovery v3 and not cwm after rooting. Most kernels are not compatible with v3 only 2.

Is this correct/up to date? Or have I just done something wrong/missed out an important step? Do I need to flash a different kernal or something?
thanks alot

thanks man. Looks just the ticket. I have XXJU 2.36 so I am going to try this file CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip - do I need to reset to factory again before I do this (as its currently rooted)? or will that be ok?
No should be fine just to flash, no need to factory reset, CF-Root is a stock kernel with root and cwm recovery included (it's ok that you already have root) just flash the zip file and reboot. good luck

This still isn't playing ball. I've tried a couple of times, although the instructions aren't that great: eg: To fix this, you will need to use the stock recovery option that says ‘apply update.zip from SD card’ or something similar
When the new kernal is applied a a new CWM Manager 2.0 app a Tweaks app and Superuser is added. I have downloaded ROM manager and downloaded and installed what is I assume to be the latest CWM. No new CWM app appears as an app. I then reboot into recovery using the 2nd option in ROM Manager and the same error message comes up and it is still the Android system recovery 3e.
The instructions say "you will need to do this twice when attempting to enter ClockworkMod Recovery for the first time"
Its not clear at all exactly that update needs applying but when I have tried the relevant ones it hasn't worked.
When entering CWM 3.0.0.5 (via volume up power boot) and selecting apply update from sdcard it then ended up with entering CWM version 2.1.5.2! – then there is another option to apply apply the update and it reverts back to CWM 3.0.0.5!
This is a mare!
ok another option is to flash with mobile odin (free in market) then install the flash kernel here http://bit.ly/17kEetk unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it, flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot, once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access.

Does that process get around the android recovery v3 error problem and get me to the latest version of CWM? (Is it not just flashing the same files using a different method?)
Also I understand the need to download and install Mobile Odin but I am confused though as you have linked to the following files:
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.zip
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip
unzipped these are APKs (not kernals? or are they and I'm missing something?) so do I download (presumably verison 2) and install these as an app as well? Do I then run the MobileODIN_FlashKernel app or something?
I have read this guide on Mobile Odin, which makes sense, its just the extra APK is confusing me!
http://www.shetalksandroid.com/2012...din-install-firmwares-flash-kernels.html.html
thanks
Unzip MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip and you'll get MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.apk, FlashKernels are special kernels used by Mobile ODIN to help flash the selected firmware if it cannot be done with the kernel you are currently running. The FlashKernel is used temporarily, it does not remain on the device after the firmware flashing is complete. Click on it to install it as a normal apk then install Mobile ODIN, next open Mobile ODIN select your CF-Root kernel (it needs to be unzipped) and flash it, after it has flashed the phone will reboot, once it has rebooted power off and boot into recovery mode, you should now be on CWM Recovery.
