not rebooting on recovery problem

Hi all.
As stated in the subject, I can't reboot into recovery mode using ROM Manager. I'd like to flash CM. but when I try to reboot into recovery to start backup, wipe, flash, nothing happened. It will just stay in ROM Manager.
Tried downloading different version of CWM from the latest version down to v5.0.0.1 but to no avail.
Read some posts regarding this problem saying that I should download v3 something of CWM but when I try to download older CWM version from RM -> All CWM Recoveries, only 5.0.0.1 is the lowest.
Any idea? I really like to flash CM into my OB. Thanks in advance.

Did you flashed alternative recovery? Is the first option in rom manager. be mindful that you have to be connected to the internet ffirst.

Yes did that. Actually from version 5.2.x.x downgrade to v5.0.0.1 doesn't work for me. RM won't take me to recovery mode. It doesn't do anything after a reboot request.
Please help. Thanks for the reply btw.

Is your phone rooted?

Yes. my OB is rooted. got apps working like SetCPU, App2SD, etc...

Try updating the su binary and super user app, or try using supersu. Also, check if rom manager has been granted su access in superuser app.
Try using terminal emulator and the command "reboot recovery"

That means you have no recovery installed. Try following a guide in the development section. Just search for it. Install CWM and pray

What about the other suggestions i made? Try checking su and su permissions. And then procceed to flash recovery from rom manager.

Ok, the thing is, my phone goes factory reset and the superuser app, busybox, etc. are lost. can I install superuser app manually? tried it but I just can't add any applications into it for granting access
sry for the noobness

Downloaded and run the latest SOClick, but it says the phone is rooted and I clicked yes to continue and stuck at Step # 7. don't know what to do after.
Reboot the phone, ran Gingerbreak, took me 10+mins but I think it's not working anymore so I had to reboot the phone as my boss was screaming at me thru skype why he can't contact me...
I'm lost.

there is no method that works with stock 2.3.4 version, I recommend to look for a patched bin and fls files and flash them with smartflash app. I'm not on my PC right now so maybe tomorrow I'll give you the links, but you can try look for them yourself smart flash is stickied and search for v20o patched bin.
FDN

Try any of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392 They are patched. I have a patched v20Q but my upstream is slow. If you want to patch by yourself, install Linux.

And here is the smart flash tutorial

And there's a superuser.zip on that thread (instructions). just browse a little.

@ re4lsk: I'll try downloading those things after work. can't dl here, firewall too strict. many thanks.
@ gabwerkz: salamat kabayan. I'll try those after work. will post updates tomorrow

I did follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23790405&postcount=171
It was a successful flash not until step 14 & 15. when I tried to Wipe data/factory reset and flash superuser.zip respectively, there's no option of YES in the confirmation page...all options are in No..
what will I do?
-edit-
ok found it. successfully flashed now. rebooting phone..can't wait. many thanks to all!

There was another post a couple of days ago by someone asking if it was safe to OTA update a rooted phone. As I said to them, there are always risks if your device is modified as the update package isn't expecting it.
Best bet if you want the OTA is to KDZ flash back to your region's last official version, then do the OTA, then reapply root and recovery.

First, make sure you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP or CWM). Then download the latest supersu flashable ZIP from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu, put it on your SD card and install via TWRP/CWM. That's it.

Since you are using CM 10.1, I would suggest you go for CWM 5. Here is a useful guide on how to go back from CWM 6 to CWM 5 by @Viper The Ripper,

That's odd because the apk is meant for S5830. It should be working. As for the Method 4, did you grant the root permission? su basically is used to ask for the Super User (root) privileges. Once you type su in Terminal Emulator, you need to grant it the permission so that the following commands can be executed.

Thanks other problem

I think your device is unrooted. Since you have already installed CWM, you will not be able to traditionally root your device. You have to always root first then install CWM. Anyway, backup all apps and data. You can flash stock rom back from odin and then re-install everything back. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all necessary files (check the "Preparations" section),
How to Install Stock ROM on Galaxy Ace Using Odin [GT-S5830]
All Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Stock Firmwares (2.3.X) Ever Released
If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,

CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
If you are gonna use CM 7, CM 9, CM 10 roms, then CWM 5 is more than enough. Even with CM 11 roms, one rom (KitKat for All) works quite well with CWM 5. Hope I Helped
