Hi XDA
This question must have been asked before, but there are SO MANY threads that i cannot find the right answer.
I have root access with my I9000 and flashed 2.5.1.3 recovery mod with ROM MANAGER.
But i cannot reboot in to CWM. it gets in a small recovery screen where i can apply update.zip and wipe etc. but it is not CWM
How can i fix this? i wish to backup my phone with CWM.
when u use vol up + pwr + home button i get the same samsung recovery.
i also did the 3 button fix.
thanks in advance

not sure but u might be having 3:e recovery(U can check it in ur top coloum of ur recovery mode).If this is the case then u need to flash with custom kernel to make it to 2:e recovery and then can access the CWM.
I flashed it using voodoo kernel(it has inbuilt CWM).
As itskapil said provide some ss so other senior members can help u
CWM won't start when I reboot the phone, but if I pull the battery it works fine. Is something wrong here?

Do you reboot using CWM or the power button menu?
I get that error whenever I try to do it with CWM but with the power button menu or the 3 button way, it works like a charm.

by cwm do you mean rom manager? because yes it is quite hard to get into cwm with cwm?
op are you on stock? if you are running a custom kernel then cwm is part of it and rom manager wont work right just use the power menu or the 3 buttton fix. if on stock and rom manager is not going to cwm, its going into regular recovery and from there you can reinstall packages and it should boot you cwm.

He's following a guide so I think he'll be fine - The only thing is that he had lost his 3 button fix using Odin3 so he needed another way to get to recovery. I believe he got it working with abd and we should hear from him shortly

Imo he should stop what he is doing and use the odin package to flash the 3 button fix before going any farther then. Unless he already has a jig that is, then it doesn't really matter.
Oh wow.. nvm about my last reply.. I confused two different thread.
He should be fine getting in recovery with the power button menu. ROM Manager does tend to screw up when you try to access CWM recovery with it.
Yes, I just rooted my captivate and I installed rom manager, but when I try to reboot into CWM it just goes to the default manager.

Reinstall packages in regular recovery.
I have rooted my Note with Zengbrush Hack
I would like to install CWM but before that , I would like to confirm that no other Recovery consoles are installed and whether they Conflict with CWM ?
How do i check which Recovery is installed if any ?

Check if you see "CWM" in your application drawer.
Also you can boot into recovery to make sure(Vol up+Menu+Power button.. Once you see the Logo let go of the power button while still holding the other 2)
Cheers
Buddy :
1. There is no CWM in the Application drawer
2. I am not sure doing the second method , what will it lead upto?

The second method would boot you into the recovery console itself. Out there you will be able to figure out if you have stock/custom recovery.

Hello XDA.
Being a tech illiterate noob, I rooted and tried to install the latest nightly build from cyanogenmod on my Optimus 2x. I gave clockworkmod superuser rights, booted in recovery mode and went on with the install.
Everything went fine (I think) until the phone rebooted. When it started, as usual, the LG logo is shown. Normally another LG logo comes up after the first one, only with an purple animation behind it.
When this comes up, it completely freezes at the very first frame of the animation. I tried waiting, I left my phone for over an hour, but nothing changed.
As previously stated, I am pretty tech illiterate, so of course I didn't make a copy of the original rom.
Now I can boot into something called Android system recovery <3e>, which says:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
__________________________
Formatting DATA:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting MISC:...
"
And yes, of course I tried selecting that option, but neither of the keys work. The volume keys work as up and down keys, and the home button shows/hides the options.
I tried downloading the original rom from the giant thread of stock roms, but if you try clicking either of the links, you will see that they are broken.
HELP!
Have you tried the power button yet? Because the power button allows you to select things.
From there wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik) and make a fresh install of cm.

Looking at your menu description.....I dont see the option of "install from SD card" menu....
Did you install the ROM manager and through the wifi....get the CWM flashed for the device....
Check after tht....the CWM should be fine....

I installed ROM Manager yes. Do you mean that I should install CWM on my memory card? I'm not sure you understood me right, I can't get past the boot menu, meaning I can't install anything via the phone.

I can't open the ROM Manager, since the phone won't get past the boot screen. What kind of software do I need to flash?

Some of the links there are broken, so I can't manage to complete the tutorial.
Also, I am very sorry, but I do not understand what you mean by that last part.
Let's see, you rooted, installed ROM Manager and Clockworkmod Recovery from within ROM Manager, rebooted and from Clockworkmod Recovery (Black Screen with Blue letters, lets you wipe and install zips from SD Card), you flashed the ROM, is that correct?
Can you boot into Recovery by holding the Power + Volume Down buttons? (hold for about 20 secs, until you get to the second LG screen)
If you can get to the recovery mode, try flashing another ROM.

You sir are correct!
I manage to start the phone as you describe, by holding down those two buttons I enter "Android System recovery <3e>", and can choose between the options as I described. HOWEVER, I can't select either of them, trying all the possible buttons (even combinations).
Update: I tried following this guide, but with no luck; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
Good
If you are in Clockworkmod, then you can browse through the menus using volume up/down to move up/down and press the search button (the magnifying glass) to accept or select an option.
I have a Optimus 2X Stockrom, i can upload the rom when i come home (you have to wait about 6 hours sorry ) Then flash the rom in cwm
Sorry for my english :/
Edit: It's the Europe Rom i hope this will help you too

The Europe Open could be what I'm looking for, thanks a lot! It's really hard to come by apparently.
Flashing it in CWM wont be possible though. Perhaps through PC software?
I will upload the Europe Open when i'm back from school.
You can flash the rom ether with cwm or with smartflash.
If you don't know how to flash it with smartflash i can explain it to you

Edit: I'm uploading the Rom now, but it will take some time (about 1 1/2 hours), because i upload with 90 kb/s.
That's your only solution, Flash some Stock ROM with a Tool from LG then root and flash a Custom one if you want.
I hope i can held you with this:

Any particular tools in mind? I have one called smartflash (SmartFlashTool_P990) which requires .bin files.
Hi Dude,

Hello,
i am new to the forum and i registered in it in order to have a solution on my problem! I downloaded recenlty cyanogenmod for my mobile for your site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085347
Before i had android 2.3.3 in my phone! The problem is when i flash the rom i get this error: E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 0)
I have searched the forum for previous similar threads and i followed many of them! However because i am not very expert in these kind of things i was confused in many points of them (for example one which explaned the root of the problem something has to do with the binary update and a script)..And i was not given detailed commands on solving the problem I formatted my sd card (after taking a backup on my pc) and only transfered after, the update for cyanogen mod 10.1 and the one for the google apps but the same problem occured. I desperately need your help because i cant practically use my mobile and i need it...
So please tell me what should i do.
Thank you in advance! Sorry for my bad english
(i also have rooted long time ago my phone)

i thins it is samsung recovery! the samsung logo in on the screen and up left:
RANDUMP Mode (ARM9mode)
If you want to flash custom ROMs, you must have custom recovery, like ClockWorkMod, RZ Recovery or TWRP.
You will need to flash it using Odin first, and then you can change recovery by just flashing packages. (You don't must change recovery after you flash from Odin.)

He is wrong (again lol). Vol up is not needed. Just power + home. And 99.999% that you have stock recovery.
