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.

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.

[Q] Unable to flash, stuck at logo

Before anything.
Model: GT-I8190
JZO54K.I8190XXAMB2
I tried to root my device without prior knowledge and ended up soft(i hope) bricking my phone. It showed that the files are damaged and that I need to connect with Kies to repair it. Did that. Twice. Both ended up with me being stuck at logo screen.
Power + home + volume up doesnt work, it just goes straight into logo screen and gets stuck.
When I enter Odin mode I get the custom binary download: 2
Current binary: custom
System status: Official.
My mobile can't load up, so I can't turn debug mode on.
Repairing the phone with Kies does nothing.
Tried to flash into stock, still same thing.
Anyone got any idea about what I can do about it?
Tried using the Toolkit and Odin3 itself. Nothing worked so far.
Here try this it might help you , flash as PDA in Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1597045&d=1356657742

Phone is all right and well with all my stuff as well. Thanks to you :highfive: so happy, I was almost at the state of crying. now I'm crying from happiness. :crying:
Now, as I dont want that same thing happens as before and before doing anything I want to ask.
Is there any good and viable way to root my phone with that firmware?
To root JB look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147786 ignore stock recovery cause it don't work. If you want CwM download Rom Manager and install CwM in there and use that root zip file in CwM.

Can I root the phone using the toolkit 1.1? That program seems to have the rooting ability when debugging mode is on.
Or just flash in the CWM and then use the zip from that topic.
Either way it's up to you, I prefer the last way, don't forget to update SuperSU you can find it here, flash it in CWM.

the problem is it wont flash with Odin...im trying the stock ROM....then clockwork mod and trying a custom ROM they don't seem to be flashing i try pressing start and leave it there for like 30+min and nothing happens

[q] mobile odin pro

I was with the stock ics 4.0.4 rom and put the cyanogenmod 9.1. But after I did the flash is no longer going into recovery mode and download mode. When I try to get into some of these modes, the phone starts right in CM9.
Now I'm thinking of changing the kernel with Mobile Odin Pro to try to solve this problem, and re-appear the recovery so I can install another rom. Or I try to install the stock rom 4.1.2 direct by MOP.
However, I do not know if this procedure is safe, because I am with cyanogenmod 9.1, and I'm afraid of doing something wrong, and you can not turn over the device. Do you think this procedure safe? Is there any other way to solve this?
Sorry for the english
1> why does the title say that?
2> how are you trying to get into recovery?
3> is the cm9 working fine?
if cm rom is booting fine, enable the USB debugging options from developer options and connect the phone to PC.. make sure you have adb drivers.. use "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery and check what happens

because I thought that only with mobile odin pro would I get change rom.
I tried to get into recovery by pressing up + menu + power to turn.
The CM9 is very slow and giving errors every once in a while it is restarting on its own. Previously I had CM9, and it was very stable and fast, but now is different, do not know why.
What are adb drivers? With them I'll get into the recovery mode and change rom?
With adb commands, you could try to get into recovery. Just search for it. If that doesn't work, you can use mobile odin to flash the stock rom.

not work with adb! I'll use the mop to install the stock rom.
Can I install the stock 4.1.2?
Remember that I'm with cyanogenmod 9.1! I'm afraid to give something wrong. This procedure is 100% safe?
You can use odin to install the new rom. Just make sure to check the option of wipe data. Even rooting and flashing is not 100% safe but doing it the right way will reduce the risk.
Mobile odin flashes using its own kernel while flashing which is safe so it safer too.

I did the procedure and installed the stock 4.1.2 rom, it starts, and the logo appears galaxy note (without the yellow triangle) and the Samsung logo appears, with that little song, but then it shuts down. what can be? at and what to do to fix it?
Edit: I fixed it! I went into recovery mode and did factory reset and wipe cache, and it worked! Many thanks for the help

I had that same problem. I installed this app and used it to reboot into recovery.
type: SU
type: Reboot recovery
Other apps might do it too, I just used this method
Be weary though, If you soft-brick your phone and get into a bootloop (like i did), you won't be able to get into download moe or Recovery-mode anymore.
