I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find an answer to this as it seems no one else has the issue. For starters this only happens when I don't have a custom kernel with cwm installed so maybe that's the problem but I want to clarify this for myself. When I'm in a stock froyo rom without cwm installed and go into recovery mode using the button combo I get into android recovery 2e. And once I'm.in that I can highlight different options but I can not select anything at all! Its as if the power button doesn't work at all. OK so fine lets pull battery out n reboot. When I try that, it boots back into recovery. Or if I do the button combo to go into download mode I can do that. But that's all I can get the phone to do. If I'm on stock gingerbread with 3e recovery and go into recovery I can select things at least but not in 2e. And the only way I can get cwm to replace android recovery is with a custom kernel installed. Cwm works fine. Any help or anything would be appreciated.
No one have any ideas?
?? Maybe Odin back to Eclair 2.1, then use Kies to update to the official Froyo 2.2
Idk, just suggesting that may fix whatever the issue is...

Hello Guys Hopefully somebody will be able to help me out. I have recently updated my Captivate to Froyo and re-rooted it with no issues. I have sense attempted to make a backup from cwm recovery and I am not able to get to it only just the stock recovery mode. I reinstalled cw recovery and that didn't work so I reinstalled rom manager and reinstalled cw recovery to no avail couldn't get into it. So i rolled back to 2.1 thinking it may be an issues with 2.2 even though I was sure how it was possible and im back to square one. I am still unable to get into cw recovery. yes the phone is fully rooted and i have also did a fix permissions and it completed sucessfully and tried to reinstall and it still doesnt work. Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks
You either have to switch kernel our flash back to stock then load a custom rom.
You should be able to swap kernels using
Sgs kernel flasher app from market, or odin. You would have to figure or which kernel you want to use

I want to Flash/Install different ROM on my phone but I don't have 3 button recovery... I also believe I will need to root it? Not sure if I've read correctly...
I'm guessing I first need to get the 3 button recovery working? Do I need to download something for this? Will I need to root the phone before this step, or afterwards?
Then do I use Odin (1.3) to install the new ROM?
I have downloaded the Android SDK (for adb), a fix file for the 3 Button recovery, Odin 1.3. Is there anything else I will need to carry out all of the above?
Very grateful for any help.
I have international I9000 and I used these instructions, they're in Russian, you can translate them with google
searching for the file that is mentioned there I could find this, which is the same
rooting is another thing, this one is for replacing bootloader
another manuals

Ok, so I've got the 3 button recovery working, rooted (not sure if this step is necessary?), unlocked... is there anything else before I flash a newer ROM to the handset? (of course, I will make sure I've backed up the phone too).
Also, if you could suggest a ROM for me to download. Would like the latest stable release of android (I'm guessing one of the variants of Froyo? Currently running Eclair).
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip!... Just trying to get clockworkmod recovery to load up on rebooting the handset... I have to rename update.zip on the internal sd card I believe??
Davey boy - make sure you can get into download mode before you go any further.

When holding volume down, home and power I get "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" - That's right isn't it?
I still can't seem to be able to access the ClockworkMod Recovery though on rebooting the handset (after renaming the original update.zip on my internal SD card to aupdate.zip) - Any suggestions?
Update .
Is the name usually .

I ended up installing JV1 from samfirmware, but am wanting to downgrade it to a later Froyo build. Or a custom ROM... not sure yet.
How would I got about installing a "ROM Kitchen" ROM manually? I can't load ClockworkMod Recovery to install from SD card.
Edit: Just going to reinstall Eclair and install the ROM through CWM that way.
Hi small question someone might know how do you do a carrier firmware backup? Before you do the reflash?
Are you sure you're pressing the right combination?
Press volup + power + home
And release them when Samsung logo appears, or it will just reboot again
Yep, that was the combination I used. Managed to get it all running using the latter method.

Better safe than sorry, I just started contributing after quite some time now so I do not blame you one bit.
However...
That link is the CWM recovery for 2e bootloaders.
What ROM are you using?
You can always get ODIN 1.82 and flash an optimized kernel like hardcore's speedmod K9A which already has CWM.
EDIT: haha or you could just ODIN one-click to stock, root, and go CW Rom manager and from there flash recovery. I know that will work 100%, but that link is just a shortcut through all that nonsense.
Just flash clockworkmod recovery.
I had this problem the other day when I was trying to flash a new rom. I tried flashing CWM many times to no avail.
Like one of the previous repliers said, I flashed the speedmod kernel which had CWM already. The kernel can be found here.
Use Odin to flash it. After that, i could boot manually to CWM, but when i tried to boot to it through rom manager i was pushed to the stock recovery. In that case, I simply flashed my rom manually with CWM.
Theres also a good video on this for the i9000 which worked for me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7xV0yE9ZcA
Hope this helps.
Ok so I started with a KB2 on 2.2 I flashed it back to 2.1 JF6 with Odin and I ordered a JIG which helped me get out of a brick situation. I installed CWM and I got into recovery but the screen does not say anything about installing from ZIP It just has the 4 choices reset, reinstall and so on...
There is so much information out there it is hard to know what to do. I would like to start flashing ROMs but I think I missed a step or something so before I go any further I have tried all the button combos and I cannot get into recovery and the times that I did before said nothing about installing anything from a zip.
PLEASE ADVISE
Aloha..MJ
Sounds like 3e recovery. You will need to bypass signature verification...
You might be better off just flashing a different kernel to get cwm and flash from there..
Use Odin or heimdall to flash a different kernel that has cwm

sounds like he is seeing the stock recovery. if he is indeed on 2.1, then its 2e recovery. reinstall packages, the phone will reboot into recovery, then reinstall packages again, you will be kicked over to CWM
woops. I looked over the part that said he flashed jf6. Excuse me. Sorry
Yes reinstall twice, like he said

Thanks PirateGhost
Thanks alot man that did the trick I reinstalled twice and I was kicked right into CWM and flashed CM7 and everything is working fine
Hey guys. So I found my old captivate last night and I decided to mod it finally. I started by trying to install the cwm recovery and I had froyo so I used odin 3 one click and it set me down to eclair at 2.1-update. Then from there I downloaded the update.zip and put it on my phone. Now here is where it messes up. I try to go into recovery mode using the 3 buttons and it keeps booting like normal. Then I try to at least go into download and that does the same thing. Okay so after those two fail I try using adb shell to reboot into recovery and that says that it can't find the adb. Any ideas of what I should do now? Oh and ROM Manager didn't work either. I couldn't find it on the market and it wouldn't let me install the apk. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
1. ROM manager doesn't work for cappy.
2. did you try to reflash with odin a second time?

Go here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912 and use the one click With Bootloaders to upgrade to Stock Android 2.3.5 Gingerberead i897ucKK4. That will fix ur button combo problems.
