Well you will get more answer if you explain what you run on and what you try to do.

Let me take a punt...
You installed Rom Manager, used it to install ClockWorkMod, selected Galaxy S I9000 from the menu options and then rebooted and THAT is the screen you got..

That's just the problem. It didn't work. When i restart to recovery mode i get that picture u see above. And when i restart i get a lot of force close warnings.

Try to flash a custom kernel and you have solved all problem.

Well I have flashed yours and in response to the OP, that's what happens, it does not seem to work as you expect it to.
But as the man stated, flash a custom kernel like his (recommended) and you will get the actual menu options you expect, it's just not a pure Rom Manager, another member says that this has been covered to death in FAQ and wiki's, but to be honest I have not managed to glean a definitive reason, I just ended up flashing a custom kernel and am done with it.
We need a smiley for "Too Hard Basket"

Will do a new try later on.

Damn... There should be a undo when u by accident press the back arrow on the phone.
Anyway... Did i full recovery on my phone (*2767*..55#) and installed a rom that worked before. That one looks like -->
I still get to the first picture above when i use cwm... The phone is correctly rooted. What could it be the problem now??? ??? ???

Hey guys,
I have the same problem, to read my story check this topic (last post for now , page 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11727649
I think it's similar. Everything works but clockwork does not install properly, it looks like the original samsung recovery. Blue text etc. Just like yours!
Please let me know if you found a solution! Thanks

some more who got this problem? I will go crazy! ^^

Yeah I know flashed the original stock 2.2 JS3 XEN rom. But it's only stock so still no good working CWM. with the darky rom 9.2 resurrection, it said: 2e recovery, and then something such as 'samsung utils'. But the text was still blue and there were no extra options
So now im back to the stock one with 3e
It seems this guy had the same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959342
By the way I sent Darkyy a PM and asked him to take a look. I hope he's not too busy.
P.S. This is not about my own SGS, I run darky 9.2 extreme without any problems, but It's another SGS which belongs to a relative of mine. However it's still as annoying that it doesn't work. Maybe there will be a 9.3 resurrection as well?

Thnx for the answer. So now i will sit down and w8!

Because you cant push a launcher or get into any settings menu, my only suggestion would be to flash a new rom. And assuming that the rom you just flashed (being completely stock), you wont have the 3 button combo although I suggest you try it. (Im not sure about the combos for 2.2 roms).
If you cant get into recovery/download through any method, my next suggestion is to buy/build a JIG and force your device into download mode, by which you can use ODIN to flash a rom.
You can make a jig for about a dollar or buy one for about 10. (Best purchase i made). Just take a look around the forums for more info on this.
yes i can get into where it says reboot system now,reinstall packages delete data ya know. not much experiance
and i can still get the usb modes when i plug in usb. kies media player mass storage.just an amature
Not sure if it would work...but odin3 v1.0 had a option for enable debug .could he just do that? Then adb push /system/app/launcher.apk? See pic

That's the link for the Canadian Stock Heimdall package.
Be careful when flashing ROMS, be certain to read the instructions carefully and read the thread too, usually you will find all the information you need, any problems to expect and how to recover from these problems. Good Luck and happy flashing!

Bought used captivate don't know how to revert to stock.

OK I bought an used Captivate is firmware is 2.3.3
baseband i897uckf1
Kernel 2.6.35.7-i897uckf1-cl273832
build.number gingerbread. Uckf1
My problem is that I think it's rooted but no superuser.apk. so I downloaded it from the market, but it tells me that the binary is outdated. I tried to update the binary but su force closed. I tried super one click method, also many other ways to root but when I got into recovery there's no options for reinstall package . Also it doesn't have the 3 button combo to boot into recovery. So I want to go back to stock and go from there and see if I can root and start using custom roms. What can I do? Wolf's toolbox already soft bricked my brothers captivate so any options so I don't go blind here.?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I would use odin to put the phone on a stock firmware. I've done this on an epic 4G, a sister to the captivate . I'm sure there's a guide to use odin and stock firmware somewhere on the forum. After its stock reroot and blah blah etc. That way you know everything is done right if you did it yourself.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
ok but do i need any boot loaders? because i read that going from gingerbread to stock you need bootloaders.
also theres 3 stocks f6, h2, h3 so which one is the safest one to flash? i really dont want to brick the phone
You already have gingerbread bootloaders so you don't need to touch them (its safer to not mess with bootloaders). If your looking for gingerbread stock its KH3 use this one with no bootloaders http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269524

If your going to Flash a ROM on it there is no need to Root.

Im kinda confused..... in order to flash the rom I need rom manager and ton use rom manager I need root permissions so, any other way?????
Man thanx alot, I flash H3 and my recovery changed, I'm such a dumbass, well trial and error as they say, right. Many many thnx.
If you follow the link captain Nero gave you it is to an Odin packaged GB ROM. You don't use room manager for this, you flash you're phone using Odin from a widows computer.
Also you don't need root to flash with Odin.

Yes my bad, I meant custom roms, because when I booted into recovery before flashing the GB Rom from the link, all I got was the original recovery as I posted on the photo. But now thanx to you guys everything is up and running. Again many thanx
Just use a kernel with CWM cooked with it. You can use Boog's KH3 cwm kernel or Design Gear's KF1 cwm Kernel (step 2)

I use the original rom and I really don't know how to find "lagfix" original for my phone anywhere. Now I need a solution to get back capacity. Pls.
That is the problem, lagfix goes on custom kernels and roms. You must install original rom again, i don't think that you can just uninstall lagfix.
You need stock rom for you tab. Try to search around so you can find it. Also you need the correct PIT file to reformat your partitions and restore your storage space.

ClockWork Mod Recovery not working

Hello everyone, im fairly new to the rooting scene and I had a question about CMW. I would like to apologize in advance if the question appears to be off-topic.
Anyways after rooting my GT-N7000 and installing CWM, I wanted to backup my current stock rom before trying out the Jelly Bean AOKP ROM. I found a tutorial that explains the proper way of backing up your phone. So i followed them and powered off my phone, held Up volume, home and power buttons, however unlike in the tutorial video ClockWorkMod recovery didn't show up on my screen but the stock Android recovery did. I would like to know if I made a mistake during the rooting process, or is smth wrong with my phone?
Can somebody please take the time and answer this n00bie question because I wanna try out new roms as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
I have included a picture of how my screen looks like when I followed the aforementioned instruction.

first of all, what ROM are you currently on?, second... It might be my browser or me but I can't seem to find your picture on your post above....
Just to verify, no picture available.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
It may be that you have root, but you do not have CWM. You can use Mobile Odin to load safe kernel (Speedmod, Notecore, Hydracore). You can also upload a secure kernel using Odin PC, but you will have a yellow triangle, which can be removed TriangleAway.apk downloaded from market. This way you get full root and CWM.

You've got root ok, just flash hydracore kernel which has cwm in built. Flash with mobile odin and you shouldn't raise flash counter, even if you do you can use triangle away to remove, then you're set to go.

If you have rooted and on a stock kernel.. then installing new roms are of a greater risk as this involves full wipe.. which triggers the erase...
its best to flash the hydracore latest version 5.1 using mobile odin... as this has latest version of CWM and is safe for wipes.. do a nandroid backup in recovery and then u good for other roms
With the root files which I downloaded from downloadandroidrom.com was included the franco kernel which upon flashing grants permanent CWM recovery.
Hope it helped.
