For some time ago at rooted the my i9001 using the stock recovery to install Root-i9001-Signed.zip
After this, I installed CWM 6.012 recovery.
All was well for some time, but now I have lost root acces, and can not get it back,
by installing Root-i9001-Signed.zip with CWM.
Also CWM 6.012 and CWM 6.019 have never been able to finish a backup,
they reboot before completation.
Is it only possible to root the phone by using the stock recovery to install Root-i9001-Signed.zip?

First time rooting. OG Droid FRG83G Build.
NOTE: i assure you i've utilized search feature but would not be surprised if this has been covered before and i missed it. apologies and thanks in advance.
having issues booting into CWM recovery. i'll retrace my steps:
successfully rooted via superoneclick
market->ROM Manager free
launch ROM manager
flash CWM recovery
backup current ROM
placed project elite v6.5 zip in SD root
(no issues thus far)
attempt to reboot into CWM recovery to wipe and install custom ROM: encountered first issue
will only boot into stock recovery. after a few attempts, rebooted normally and launched ROM manager, clicked flash CWM recovery again and then clicked boot into CWM recovery and this time it worked!
my question: when i clicked flash recovery the 2nd time what did that do relative to the backup i previously created? does it overwrite certain files/settings? should i have created another backup that corresponds to the 2nd flash?
even though i successfully booted into CWM recovery, i was scared there was an issue with my backup so i chose to reboot normally. i then proceeded to delete the clockworkmod folder from my SD, unmount, launch ROM Manager, re-performed: flash + backup to simulate the 1st time.
when trying to boot into CWM recovery i get the same issue as the first time: stock recovery mode.
are there any issues with me clicking flash and then booting into CWM recovery if a backup was previously created?
Thanks.
I was previously on HTC desire hd rooted and bought Rom manager.
Now I've got a new note and pc odin flashed lpy the 638mb one.
I then rooted by copying the zips of su busybox and cwm to use in recovery. Not chainfire.
Recovery install from ext sd. Cwm then su.
That went fine. Have root.
But no clockworkmod installed.
Rom manager offers but asks which phone I have and the note isn't there! Just galaxy s1 and 2 atandt stuff etc.
Id like to flash other stuff in the future and feel naked without cwm.
1. Please what do?
2. Should I pay for mobile odin now? Is Rom manager not good. this board talks Always about mobile odin.
3. What's this I hear about super su? What's wrong with su? She getting old droopy woman?
The method you used will only give you a temporary CWM, and after you reboot your mobile (as what you did), its back to stock recovery without CWM.
If you really want CWM in your recovery, the only way is to flash the kernel with CWM. You can use mobile odin to flash the ZImage file (kernel with cwm).
Good luck.
Hi
I have here a Galaxy Mini running stock Froyo 2.2.1 without an USB-cable.
My goal is to flash CM 9.
I rooted the phone with an update.zip containing Superuser.apk and the su binary. (I needed it for Titanium Backup)
I want to install CWM too but I can not use Odin (no USB cable). I downloaded CWM Touch 5.2.0.8 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439751, named the file update.zip and flashed it with the stock recovery tool. - This seemed to be sucessful.
But now the devie is stuck at the "Samsung" logo everytime I try to boot into recovery. Booting the normal Android works fine.
Is there a way to flash CWM without using Odin now? (probably using linux "dd")
I would like to have CWM before I flash CM9 beacuse I want to create a full backup first.
Edit: Ok...I might have overlooked that this CWM is for Gingerbread.
Thanks
flashing through stock recovery may not work
you have to use odin to flash the recovery
one more thing is that you cannot backup stock rom
you must upgrade to gb to flash cm9 (bootloader incompatibility)

A full back up of what ?
If you try to back up your current ROM app data, then restore it on cm, there'll be bugs potential.

Hi there,
Earlier I root my XZ using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry. After that I installed CWM recovery and perfectly working .
Then unroot my XZ because I get annoyed with Superuser and wanted to use SuperSU, I decided to unroot using same tool I used earlier. Later root again this time i use Flashtool. The reason I use Flashtool because unable to root again with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry for unknown reason.
After managed root again, found out im not longer able to enter CWM recovery . I already installed CWM many times.
Any idea?
Hello,
I've been running stock rooted 4.1.2 for a while but my phone randomly reformatted itself last night so now I'm going to keep regular backups of my Rom.
I tried to boot into. CWM Recovery but I keep getting the stock recovery.. if I use Rom manager and flash CWM followed by an automated "reboot into recovery" then it boots into CWM but until I reflash CWM within Rom manager I can only get stock.
I want to try a few roms out so I'd like to "permanently" flash a custom recovery before making a backup!

try philz touch, it has a function to remove the auto-flash stock recovery. Otherwise there's a method in the general root thread if you want cwm.
