I have surfed through the internet but rare few people don't have the problem I'm experiancing.
I used ROM Manger to install the CWR on my phone. It only installed Download Mode but not the Recovery itself. The phone was still working then. What made it stop working is that I used RM to backup my current ROM, and here I am. Stuck on the title screen.
My phone is rooted with GingerBreak (Risky I know but it was fine). All I have is Download mode on me.
Is there anyway how to get my phone fixed?
Use this package to restore http://files.teamkomin.com/index.php?dir=i9000SGS/
It will revert all firmware to a bleeding-edge stock version.

How do you use it ?
edit : nevermind : found it in another thread : Heimdall one-click. I haven't used it myself, but it will come in handy.

That's it?
Just put my phone into Download mode and just let it all do the work?
One problem though, don't you need Recovery mode enabled first before flashing anything? I don't have it on the phone but Download mode.
Is it safe without Recovery?

No, you do not. Download Mode is the savior. If you have that, you're good; if you don't, you risk bricking your device. Make sure you always have downloade mode before you start flashing.
And yes, it's that simple. AdamOutler knows his stuff.

So proceed with Download mode only? No need for Recovery?
Bump.
I need to know if I can do this without needing Recovery.
I might have to get Samsung to check it out if I don't get a response. :/

It has already been said that the recovery mode is irrelevant. You only need to have access to download mode.
the recovery mode is good when u need to flash files located on the phone or sd-card and download mode is to flash files located on your pc
If you are gonna flash, you only need download mode...

Sorry, wasn't able to pick up that it was already answered.
Will flash my phone later. Thankyou all for the replies
Will respond if it passed or not.
Update: (Sorry for double post)
My phone has flashed sucessfully. Download mode is still there but no Recovery.
Much better than the JVK firmware.
Thanks alot guys for the help
Update: I'm back to square 1. As soon as I installed CWM onto my phone, the phone is now starting up the intro and not going further.
I tried to install JVT twice now and it won't budge. Is my phone now offically screwed?
Edit: Fixed it. Used Odin and changed the firmware to JVS. Cleared everything too.

Hello, Everyone!
This is the latest Clock Work Mod recovery version 5.0.2.6 for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 smartphone. So, if you have got ace (I am sure you do.. LOL!) then, follow the steps carefully to flash this custom recovery on your device.
Thanks to koush (for this recovery ) and others!!!
Disclaimer : Do This At Your Own Risk
I shall not be held responsible for any damage incurred to your device.
Warning! I haven't tested if it works. Want to be the early tester? Go ahead. But, I am pretty sure it will work fine.
Requirements
Make sure you have GB 2.3 and above firmware.
Instructions
1. Download cwm-recovery-ace.tar.md5
2. Run Odin Multidownloader for Ace
3. Select One Package option at the top left.
4. Load Copper_v1.0.ops on OPS field.
5. Load cwm-recovery-ace.tar.md5 in one package field.
6. When everything is set... put your phone in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power button) and then connect it.
7. When Odin says Detected then you are ready to press the start button.
8. Wait till the recovery it flashed and then after Odin says PASS (in top left box) you may disconnect your device.
9. Reboot to recovery mod (Home + Power button) and enjoy new recovery. You can now flash custom roms, do nandroid backups and many more.
Hope! Everything was clear...
Happy Flashing
You can also use this CWMManager.apk app for managing this recovery... Download here
P.S. Don't forget to say thanks if this thread post is useful...
Reserved.... For future use
Can anyone help me with some of the screenshots or images for this recovery? Thanks!
Nice ,
But why Odin ?
When it's possible to flash it via recovery mode which is much simple ,safe ,time consuming
So no need of Odin !

Ok! Got your points.... But, I thought some other might prefer using Odin rather than flashing via recovery. SO, I posted it.
Also, there is another reason, you guyz don't have clear cut instructions for CWM recovery for ace ... so it will be helpful for noobs out there.
thats great @@

I am sure it works since I didn't do much except making it flashable via Odin (from this one which was already flashable through CWM recovery) . You can install it from here :

Flash philz kernel (.tar) from pc odin while in download mode (latest version). See if you can get into recovery, if you can, download and put the CM rom+gapps on external sd card, flash without any wipes from recovery or if you did take any nandroid backup you can restore that from philz kernel.

download philz kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
download the one that says .tar instead of .zip. put the phone into download mode. Open PC odin, connect phone to pc, COM ID should light up in yellow with some number. click on PDA and choose the .tar file and click on start. once it is finished, reboot into recovery and see if it works. You can fix the counter and yellow triangle later with Triangle away application.

Is the Kernel version essential? Since Philz v5.11.2 has several Kernels you can choose from, where as you cannot check which one you have running since the phone does not boot anymore.
correct , you're right!

Philz Kernel may need a LINK here. maybe URL ?
THanks ALL ! feel that solutions are near now.
as you cannot check, you can download the one for your region, check on sammobile.com/firmwares for which one is for your region and i already gave the link to the philz kernel, i wont post the direct url for the file.

It doesn't matter which kernel you flash, you're just flashing to give you recovery and then you can flash cm and gapps. It won't boot, it's not supposed to.

Not sure I'm in the same boat...
is anyone seeing the same as I am - I also can't boot into Recovery since nightly 20130824. I can boot into Download mode... and... I can still boot into my current CM10.2 nightly (20130824)!!!
I've tried reflashing CWM using ROM Manager, even a few times... but nothing changes. Trying to get into recovery using VolUp+Home+Pwr doesn't work (after Samsung GT-N7000 white text... blackscreen (which I can see is still 'on'). If I try to boot into recovery using Rom Toolbox or similar, it behaves the same and I can only get it to reboot into the ROM once I've pulled the battery out and then put it back in and connected to a charger so the battery charging icon shows... which somehow clears the 'boot into recovery' flag somewhere.
Very concerned... saw something in the changelogs back at 20130824 about recovery fixes and wondered if this might happen. The first time I got it to boot back into the ROM something wasn't quite right with the internal/external SD mounts... all my ringtones and alerts etc. were reset to just numbers (e.g. 40125) which actually happens more often than I expect... but this time I couldn't find the ones I usually use in the selection list.
I rebooted with SD card out... then re-inserted it... and then things went back to how they should be and I could see and select my preferred tones again.
Have tried booting into Recovery via app, via hw keys... with SD card in, SD out... SIM card in... SIM out... both SD and SIM out... there's just no way into recovery.
Using ROM Manager I also tried to setup the alternative Recovery (TWRP) but that also gets stuck with the message 'ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation'. but same behaviour when trying to boto into recovery.
I've also used Android Root Toolkit to try save/protect Root... Restore Root.. etc. but to no avail.
Any ideas... please?
EDIT: Thanks for the Odin3 / PhilZ Kernel advice - that seemed to work.
Question: Now that I've got back to recovery and updated to nightly of 20130826, did I overwrite PhilZ kernel?
yes
Yes,
ideas:
Read the rom thread, fixes there
As I said, phone is restarting every minute, it cannot enter recovery mode by using 3 buttons. I've tried hard resetting, but whenever I press the button to erase it, it either does nothing or it restarts again. Also whenever I change some of the settings they revert after a restart. I've tried flashing some rooted roms with odin, and it said "pass" but phone still remained the same. I've tried flashing pit files, the three button recovery and all, but still nothing did any good... Is there any way I can fix this? Is there any way to find stock official images and install them without odin, like LG's software update kdz, or HTC official installer files? Is the phone just dead? Please help guys!

Try to install twrp from novafusion by odin without checked 'restart phone'. Then pool out battery, put inside and go to recovery mode. Choose wipe, advanced wipe, choose everything without SdCard and slide button. Next turn off phone.
After this turn on download mode and install stock rom by odin.
If it not help, you have bricked phone.
Try any method but i dont know why you do something with pit file. Its not recommended to do wth this if its not necesary.

I don't think pit file thing did anything because phone just reverted back. By the way phone is running stock it isn't rooted. Shouldn't it be rooted for custom recoveries?

Answered on your question, yes. Because you need full access to operations on your phone. Btw, when you instal twrp and in some part of this recovery you want leave and restart, twrp ask you, did you want root your rom (its clue).
The easiest way to root your stock rom, find thread with prerooted stock rom to install by odin. Its the easiest way.

Did the phone lose download mode? If you can get fastboot then you can flash TWRP and use it to flash a ROM.
And there is a thread about fixing and bard brick that may help you.
