you are still on stock recovery,
i assume ROM manager will of created update.zip so what you need to do is select : apply sdcard:update.zip
you may need to do this 2-3 times before automatically going into CWM (you will notice the difference)

How to out from stock? Or how to fix and getting options like backup/restore .?

arrrr....... im sorry i misread your post.
you dont have CWM at all. either try ROM manager again. or flash CF-Root / kernel thru Odin, that will give you 2e / CWM recovery which will allow you to flash the ROM.
You CANNOT flash ROMS with 3e (stock) android recovery

you can only install CWM via this method if your recovery is version 2e (or something like that)
if you want to be sure check your rom version and find a hacked kernel (speedmod or voodoo) with CWM and install it using the PDA box in odin nothing else (no pit, no modem etc) and make sure repartition is unchecked. I found this worked when others methods failed.

Yes its 2e
There is any method without odin?
Because iam.using linux.
Thanks.

I was having a few dramas getting CWM Recovery to run on the stock JVB Ginger ROM. I put in the CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS flash with Odin 1.3 a few times, but couldn't get my device to boot into it with 'three-buttons'. I then went into Settings/Applications/Development, turned USB debugging to ON, restarted the phone with 'three-buttons' and voila, away we went...

Rom manager

[Q] Problem trying to flash a custom rom onto a galaxy s on orange uk - recovery mode

I've downloaded ROM manager and clicked on 'flash clockwork recovery'. this placed a 'update.zip' onto my phone. I downloaded a custom ROM and placed this zip in the same place. in ROM manager i choose install from sd card, locate the custom rom and select it. i reboot into clockwork recovery mode and i get the 'android system recovery mode' The options at the top are in blue. i believe this is wrong?
I'm led to believe i should click on 'apply sdcard:update.zip' but when i do i get
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Install aborted
I'm using a samsung galaxy s with the standard orange rom.
Any ideas?

U need to root your device first... flash a kernel like speedmod and it'll rot ur device after this u can install ur custom rom. remember while flashing via odin repartition should be unchecked

You would root and then just need to flash update.zip, dont place rom anywhere near it. I would delete your current update.zip and go through process (minus rom) again.
Alternatively and easier, is what ^^ he said.

I've already rooted my phone.
Dont i need to put the downloaded mod on my sdcard to install it? :/
Rom manager puts the update.zip file there but when i try to run it it fails :/

Yep place the rom into sdcard/
Sometimes in stock recovery, you may have to choose flash update.zip twice to install cwm
However
Mate, if you can use odin, just flash a pre rooted kernel with cwm installed. Should take about 5 mins to download and flash. Chainfire would probably be my recommendation.
Make sure you read kernel flashing instructions before you start.

Only thing is i need to get to get my phone to download mode to apply the kernel through odin?
And my phone wont go into this mode :/ or recovery mode

How did you root?

I used superoneclick.
bad move?

Not at all, just curious. Can you not force download mode via adb? (havent needed to use it myself, so can't advise further)
i would suggest you apply the 3 button combo fix though before proceeding. If you can get into dl mode, its nigh impossible to brick, if not, then its all too easy.....
Dont rush mate, have a good search and read-up first.
Hope I've helped some.

I'll take a look at the 3 button combo fix and the adb method.
Thanks for all your help

No worries. Cwm method will only work with 2e recovery - if you have 3e, then you will need dl mode odin and kernel.

Can not flash CWM :(

Hi I'm trying to install miui for my sister in law on her Galaxy S but I can't seem to install CWM.
I've downloaded rom manager from the market clicked on flash recovery (fist option) then from the list chose samsung galaxy s. The next I clicked on reboot to recovery but when it boots into it, it says at the top Android system recovery (3e)
What am I doing wrong???? :s
PS I don't have a memory card inside my phone trying to install via the internal sd storage. The also I don't have access to my pc so need to do it off my phone. Please any help appreciated thank you.

When you boot into recovery press the buttons a couple of times. Ie, 3button combo to boot, release all the buttons and press the 3buttons again. I have had the same problems on 3sgs's and this seemed to work on them.

No luck
Any one else have any ideas. Please any help is appreciated.

I have clockworkmod recovery installed and when i click on reboot to recovery or use the 3 button configuration it only boots into the android system recovery.
I can not for the life of me get the Cwm recovery to boot up.
Is there a kernel I can flash with rom manager to get cwm installed
Sent from my GT-I9100

It's definitely rooted? What rom is it currently on?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Darkys rom. Plus i have titanium backup installed and backed up my apps. Superuser is working perfectly.
I want to install miui the official rom.
Anyway I can without having to use a pc??
Sent from my GT-I9100

If it's on Darky's rom, it should have cwm already! Not sure if you can do it from your phone now mate.
Once you've got the cwm sorted (hopefully it's a gingerbread rom) you need to format system, data and cache, then flash Miui.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Ahhh.
Flash darky RE via Odin. But if you are running darky kernel you should have cwm. Uninstall cwm app and try again.

If i understand well, you can't use odin because you don't have PC,right? Well:make sure that your phone is rooted. Go to market and get that application : "sgs kernel flashar " the one by neldar.
Then download a kernel for your firmware, and make sure you download a tar file or obtain a zimage file. Flash it with the application mentioned, you don't need any cwm. After that you flash the new kernel you should have a cwm installed.
If i understand wrong I'm sorry.

Hello,

First off, I'm assuming your phone is rooted (since you have rom manager installed). Also what ROM are you currently running?
Secondly, make sure you have clockworkmod recovery installed. You then need to reboot into recovery mode, do a factory/data wipe, wipe dalvik cache and then install the ROM .zip file (must first be placed in the sd card main directory) by selecting it under "install .zip from sd card", then "choose .zip". After the ROM installs, reboot the device.

You need a patched v20 (see my noob how to). You cant install cwm on official ics. It will always cause security errors.

V28c this file i've downloaded and installed , with smart flash tool, so i have official update 4.0.4 , and when i select reboot recovery in rom manager , the phone is rebooting and it gave me an error Security Errror

Here's the noob how-to link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105
Read through all that applies to your device/current ROM. Read carefully and follow the instructions. That's essentially how I learned to root the P970 and play around with different ROM's.
Good luck. If you have problems ever after following the instructions, try doing a search first. As I have found out, quite often people have run into the same problem before and there is most likely a solution. It sounds like you're still pretty new to rooting and flashing ROM's so I suggest just read, read, read.

Ok , i will read that how to , and i will try to instal v20, and i will try again.Thank you very much , sorry for my english.Good luck

As NOOBY0815 said, you can't use CWR (clockwork recovery) on official ICS. You need to flash a different stock ROM (GB 2.X.X) and then it will reboot into recovery... and then you can flash a new custom ROM.
