First here is the problem. I tried to update to CM7 RC4 from RC2. I select and download using ROM Manager. I tell it to do a Backup and Wipe the phone reboots but does not go into Recovery. I get the "M" logo twice and then the CM7 logo then the phone boots. I power off the phone and manually try doing it with the Power and X button and get the same thing.
What I have tried.
1. Reflash ClockworkMod - this fails.
2. Reflash to Sprecovery - does not work either
3. Reinstalled RomManager
So what can I try to do here?
Thanks in advanced

It doesn't seem possible to get my phone to boot into recovery mode. When trying to do so it goes to the four coloured X and then to a black screen, so the phone automatically switches off instead of booting into recovery. I need to press the power button to restart it.
The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted if that could in any way affect it. I'd like to be able to use Clockwork to be able to make a back up.
Any ideas?
I don't know the reason but try the following. Install rom manager. From rom manager install an older version of clockwork an hit reboot into recovery from there.
No it might be going into recovery but you can't see it because you have an SLCD phone. Try flashing Among RA 1.8.0.1 or 1.9.0
Well, I'd downloaded rom manager before where it didn't work but now it seems to be working. I was able to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and reboot into recovery from rom manager. Not sure why it's any different now.
Anyway, hopefully it'll stay working. Many thanks for your reply
I go into ClockWorks and try to back up my stock ROM before loading the CW rom. It sends me to the recovery mode screen and just sits on installing CSC (i think that is it)and nothing happens... What am I doing wrong... or how long does it take for it to complete that process??? I checked back in CW and looked for the back up after I clicked reboot in the recovery menu and it is not there.
These are the steps
Dl rom manager
Open app
Flash clockwork
Select captivate
should have an update.zip saved to you're sd
Turn phone off
Vol up and down and power
At&t let go
Recovery
Reinstall packages
Reboots to same screen
Reinstall packages
Green recovery
You can backup from the clockwork menu, or boot up phone and do our through rom manager
Worked like a charm! Thanks a million!
Was Recovering a Rom backup from Rom Manager and It is stuck at the android system recovery screen and won't let me select any options using the power button. I can go up and down using the volume buttons.

You can always go back to stock, re-root, install CWM, and try restoring again if you are still having trouble. Use Odin:

Ok, I also rooted and installed eSPyel's Paragon ROM and everything is great. However, when I go into CWM and boot into recovery, I get the same issue--it goes to the Samsung Recover <e3> screen (with purple text) and tries installing something but states it failed. I then can move up and down the menus with the Vol Up/Vol Dn buttons but pressing power does nothing. If I remove and then reinsert the battery, it takes me to CWM recovery screen where I can install new ROMs, etc. It goes this every time I try to boot into recovery. Does anyone know a fix or do I just need to Odin back to stock and try again?
Im trying to flash a new rom but when i go to flash clockworkmod recovery nothing happens. i have internet, no error signs pop up all that happens is the bar goes green then stops.
Is there any troubleshooting i can do?
Turn the phone off, and then hold the three volume buttons and the power button. when you get to the recovery screen, select reinstall packages and it will go to an AT&T screen then back to the screen. select it again and then if a green screen pops up, your in clockwork.
I have not flashed clockworks yet though it is not on my phone.
I tried that already. I dont know what to do now
Go to my files on your phone, make sure there is a file called update.zip
Then phone off
Three button combo
Reinstall packages
Repeat
Done

Reading this forum is really helpful before flashing

And the file that you need to have on the root of your sd card is the one on clockwork mode renamed as update.zip
Best of lucks
i reinstalled packages and it did not work when i tried to flash
You can always use rom manager
If you are rooted already. You can use rom manager to get into recovery, as follows:
1) Install rom manager from the market
2) Start rom manager and flatsh ClockworkMod recovery, make sure you select "Captivate"
3) After you havedone point 2, select the second option on rom manager "Reboot into recovery".
Reinstall packages two times.
Voila,you are in recovery.
worked beautifully thank you!!
was trying out the app "Anim Mod" installed chose animation reboot..... now stuck in a bootloop. volume and power combo dosent work please please help!!
What?you mean you can't enter software upgrade mode?

-------------------------------------------------
WHAT TO DO IF GOT A BOOTLOOP
1.- Remove battery *edit** I didnt remove battery, I plugged out the usb instead**
2.- Power on your phone again, and once the 4 leds start flashing, repeatedly press a physical key (g-button or volume rocker) until your phone reboots and ir access to CWM
3.- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, then reflash the ROM again
4.- Reboot and wait

And if it doesn't work, you can connect your phone to your computer, start adb shell and type in 'reboot recovery'. Your phone will enter cwm and you can restore a backup, reflash a rom..
I use this method if I get a bootloop. (I'm developing a rom.) I think it's very helpful, because you don't must use smartflashtool.
cakebomb.
in some situation adb cannot connect the phone and you have to use the smartflash tool
Anim Mod bootloop
I have the same problem here! I got bootloop after using anim mod. I'm able to go to stock recovery. I had backup my file then did factory reset but problem still not solved. I had backup my framework-res.apk file but it's not on a flashable zip format.
i've tried using apk multi tool on trying to do and adb push but it's not working
what can I do next?
connect your phone to pc in s/w upgrade mode->pull out your battery, hold + and plug in the usb in phone..and after that, use smart flash tool to flash firmware(v20) with CWM included..and after firmware flash your phone will enter in CWM recovery, now from CWM you need to flash supersu from sd card..after flashing firmware and superuser, DO a data,cache,davlik cache wipe !..and just after this you can exit from CWM(reboot)
Here's a link to all tools that you need to repair your phone. You need to use smartflash tool, a V20 firmware with cwm( you can download it from here), and put the Superuser.zip to your sd card..and install USB driver if you haven't installed it yet
I use this method every time when my phone is stuck on bootloop or if I've flashed a ROM that doesn't have root..or other situations.. This method brings you to a rooted gingerbread with CWM(this is all what you need, because from here you can do what you want..for example flashing which ROM you like )
!!! You can use this method anytime...doesn't matter which ROM you have or if your phone is rooted or not. After using this method your phone will be fully rooted, will have CWM recovery and android 2.3 gingerbread !!!
