[Q] Two recoveries - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now i have tried installing cwm through rom manager and successfully installed it, now if I go into the recovery mode through rom manager it shows the new recovery but if I go into the recovery mode through the combo (volume up button home button and power button) it goes back into the old recovery ie dark core recovery, so that means I have two recoveries in my sgs? Please help, thanks in advance

uninstall rom manager i read somewhere it doesnt work verywell .

ok, then please tell that how can i update this dark core recovery to the latest cwm recovery???

Installing CWM-recovery with Rommanager doesn´t work with the SGS. You have to flashe another Kernel which already includes the Clockworkmodrecovery I don´t know which CWM-Version the DarkCore has but i tried different Kernels an they all had Version 3. If you are on a Gingerbread Stockrom you can try flashing the Semaphore Kernel(Root+a lot of different Improvements). This one I had for a long time. I think it included CWM V 3. Now I'm on Teamhacksungs ICS and I have V5

i am using darky's rom 10.2 and i have to shift to cm7.1 so thats why i have to update my recovery to cwm latest... didn't know how to flash kernel in my phone, coz my friend did all that, and i am a noob

[Q] Help With Custom Rom installation.

Hi there,
Since gingerbread with most probably be the last update for SGS i would like to install a custom mod.
Now i have been trying to do this (darky 10 RC4) for the past 2 days.
I followed Darky's instructions then i had a problem with the CWM only accepting "edified" script.
So i downloaded rom manger and tried to downgrade ta 2.5 but as soon as i tap on the 2.5 it immediately comes up with an error, "an error occured while flashing your recovery."
this is done on a 2.3.3 JVB SGS with CWM 3 installed (orange text).
Are there alternate routes? maybe downgrading to android 2.2 installing an older version of darky and than upgrading the darky rom?
any help is much appreciated.
thanks
Download the rom CWM-zip and put it in your internal sdcard.
Download some froyo-kernel (yes, froyo) with CWM 2.5. Speedmod for example. Then flash it with Odin repartition and auto-reboot unticked. When the flashing process is completed, pull the battery and then boot to recovery (3 button combo). Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.
thanks, i wil try that.
Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.

Sorry. With CWM-zip I meant the Darky's Rom.zip, which can be flashed through CWM.
it didnt work, u just gave up.
hopefully some new rom update that is edified will show up in a couple of months
Install supercurio hacked kernel, it has recovery 2.5 instead of 3.0.0.5. From there you should be able to install darky's rom. If the new version of his kernel is recovery 3, tell me i'll send the old one just for the purpose.
Hi,
ok last attempt
i flashed ( odin PDA, no pit and no repartition) with this link:
Kernel Download:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975349
while i was on
PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
rooted with root CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS
and lag fixed with CF-Root-ext4-v1.2
and it forking worked red text 2.5 THANKS A BUNCH!
edit just a problema. it is only booting in CWM.
reattempting this without the lag fix.
2nd attempt with PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
and without lag fix not rooting.
phone stuck looping at booting with strange sound on each boot loop
3rd attempt with rooting, but no lagfix
If you are only rebooting in recovery, did you flash the new kernel, then reboot recovery ? if yes, the easy way to get out, is to reboot in download then reflash the wanted kernel (Since your rom is installed, you can install any kernel (GB of course)) then, it will reboot in recovery again and just reboot system now. This should fix your problem.
edit : Dont forget to get CF-root 3.1 for JVB and not JVK.

[Q] Clockwork recovery pissing my brains off!!!!

guyzz i successfully installed clockwork recovery mod using ROM MANAGER on my indian version of galaxy s GT-i9000 but when i try "reboot into recovery" the phone boots into stock recovery mod.plzzz help me out guyzz
It's not CWM you should be angry at - it's perfect. Blame the ROM Manager - try to get in CWM through the 3 button combo (Volume up + Menu button + Power button) and if that doesn't work just flash CWM with Odin.
Bro thnx for the reply .....i tried the combos it takes me back again to the stock i.e Android system recovery <3e>..
select apply sdcard : update.zip or something like that
once or twice and it should take u into CWM
otherwise as said above, flash it through odin,
Hey kartik . Can u guide me how to install cm7 on our galaxy s. I m also frm india .nplz guide yaar check ur pm
That sounds like you have a stock Kernel.....try flashing an odin version of speedmod kernel.
You have 3e recovery which does not support CWM you need to flash a kernel with 2e recovery (CF-Root) or one qwith CWM built in (speedmod)

[Q] Speedmod kernel & ROM Manager issue

Hi all, I have the I9000 with stock (branded, h3g ita) firmware Froyo 2.2
I recently removed Ryanza OCLF and flashed Speedmod Kernel k13e in order to be able to use ROM manager and use custom ROMs... but there's my problem, if it is one...
When I enter Recovery Mode, it automatically opens ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0, that comes with Speedmod Kernel. So I thought to install ROM Manager, but when I launched it the app didn't find the CWM recovery version previously mentioned. So I said to flash CWM Recovery and he says that he has successfully downloaded it... and then he say that my current recovery is version 2.5.1.2
Then, I ask to reboot in recovery mode but what happens is that my phone reboots in the original recovery (android system 3e), it tries to run something (i think the update.zip) and fails... so I manually go into recovery mode (3 buttons combo) and it load CWM recovery version 2.5.1.0 (the one that cames with SpeedMod)
What am I doing wrong? Why ROM Manager launches 3e recovery? Is it because the 2.5.1.0 version of CWM rec has became the "default" recovery (the one automatically launched with the 3 buttons combo)?

JB, GB - Anytype of CWM (except 3.0.0.5) is not working

Hi All!
I try to find out what causes this weird problem I've had with CWM Recovery, but I couldn't find solution anywhere.
So, the problem is the following:
When I use ICS, JB custom ROMs with my Galaxy S I9000, I always loose CWM recovery. The only stable point is GB 2.3.6 ROM with recovery version 3.0.0.5 with CF-root.
After flash and start the phone in general all the kernels of Semaphore, Devil, Glitch, and so on...just blinks their logo for a second during the boot process, after that it shows blank screen. After waiting a while I can use the phone normally, everything works, but the CWM.
I couldn't reach CWM recovery neither the 3-button mode nor ADB.
I flashed back to stock rom (Valuepack JVU), root it with CF-root (4.3), and I get back CWM 3.0.0.5 in GB 2.3.6 which works perfectly.
But, if I flash the same ROM with the appropriate (e.g. Semaphore) kernel with Odin, I cannot enter CWM recovery anymore.
I've tried FixRecovery.tar. It didn't help.
Now I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738 this ROM, but the 3-button recovery is not working too. so I can't make Nandbackup.
Does anyone know what causes this problem?
Thanks in advance,

[Q] GALAXY S I9000 -boot loop(how to fix?)

(sorry for my English )
the thing is that my Samsung S wont starts ,when i click the power button its starts in CWM RECOVERY and when i press "reboot system now" it enters a boot loop (the logo keeps running over and over and the phone)
before this happened i originally had the stock ROM of my cellular carrier (2.3.3
then i decided to install another rom and kernel (cyanogenmod 10) so i installed first a clean stock rom (2.3.6) via odin
and then the cyanogenmod rom and kernel (up to now its all fine)
after that i wanted to change and install other rom so i installed again the clean stock rom 2.3.6 via odin...and from then it started to boot loop.
i thought that if i will install the kernel again it will be OK ,but it wont..
and now im in the situation that i have described above..
help SOMEONE please=]

it is because the latest CM10 is based on a different partitioning layout than the stock one.. after flashing CM10 once when you go in a boot loop.. go to CWM recovery by using the three button combo and flash CM10 again.. . this time your rom will boot:good:

I installed the kernel and then the stock rom again but now its just bootlooping without getting load up to CWM recovery
so how can i get into CWM recovery????
(i tried VolumeUP+HOME+POWER but it just get into regular recovery...)
pull out your battery for a couple of minutes then replace battery
;hold three button forever or until it goes into recovery if that doesnt work
reflash through odin and do it again or check out darkyrom 10. re this gets flashed through odin

flash darkyrom 10.2 Resurrection edition using odin.. this will give you a GB rom with root
flash CM10 through CWM recovery
reboot.. (you may not be able to boot as of now)
go to CWM recovery again using 3 button combo
flash CM10 again
reboot
this should do the trick
THANK YOU TWO
