Hey guys I've rom FROYO.XWJPA with ROOT and I want install CWM recovery from Rom Manager. Then i click Flash cwm recovery the operation is successful, but then I try reboot to cwm recovery my phene have still samsung recovery... what is wrong?
I had the same problem. I solved it by flashing an update.zip of the CWM recovery from the Samsung recovery. It worked by flashing two times, first time didn't work ^^
Pretty sure that ROM manager doesn't actually flash the recovery the way you think. It just allows you to boot into it from within the app. Open ROM manager up and try booting into it from there.
Or just install a kernel that has a built in CWM recovery.
Problem solved
Hi,
I flashed CF-Root-XW_DBT_JVI-v3.7-CWM3RFS, which worked fine and I have root access now.
But my problem - actually I dont know if its a problem - is:
I cannot boot into CWM Recovery using the 3button method.
I can successfully boot into CWM Recovery using the CWM Manager app.
The reason why I am asking:
I want to flash [ROM][ICS][4.0.3][BUILD23][BETA2.02]AOKP.
And in the instructions they are mentioning:
--COMING FROM STOCK ROMs/SAMSUNG BASED ROMS-
[..]
*WHILE FLASHING THE PHONE WILL END UP IN A BOOTLOOP, NO PROBLEM.
*SWITCH OFF BY REMOVING BATTERY.
*REBOOT INTO RECOVERY.
*REFLASH .

So I tried whether I can boot into CWM recovery using the 3-button method.
I saw on the CF-root thread for SGS2, that it only boots standard recovery, if there exists a samsung package (What is meant with package? firmware?).
But on the SGS thread chainfire writes:
- Booting into recovery will immediately give you CWM. The standard recovery is completely gone.

So I dont know if its an error, that I cannot boot into CWM with the 3button method,
or if its ok, because I still have the stock Samsung ROM running.
Thanks for your help!

I solved the problem. Maybe it helps someone.
I flashed AOKP Beta 2.02 and the SGS didnt end up in a boot loop!
It just booted into Semaphore CWM and from there I flashed AOKP again->Reboot->Finished.
During installation I had another problem: I put the AOKP zip onto the external/real SD-card. When the SGS booted into CWM after the first flash, the SD Card wasnt mounted But thanks god, the 3-button method still started the standard recovery mode, and I could reflash the original Samsung firmware using Odin.
I then re-rooted the phone and started the whole process again, but this time storing the AOKP zip on the internal SD-card
Hello guys!
Is there a way to get back to the classic cwm after i installed rz recovery from squadzone?
Please help.Because i'm stuck at a bootloop.I didn't make any backup before installing the new rom but i have cwm backup of the working rom(already tried the option to restore from cwm recovery.. didn't worked).
trying!!!
try to reflash the Rom or use Odin
for flash again CWM recovery and then Rom
Just reflashed cwm in odin.But thanks for quick answer.
Topic can be closed now.
EDIT FIXED:
Fixed:
First flash to stock with ODIN then,
1. Backup your SD Card
2. Format in FAT32 (With fast formatting unticked)
3. Download CWM 6.0.1.5 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852725
4. Install
5. Boot into Stock Room
6. Reboot in recovery mode
But I can't mount /system or /cache from cwm
Sorry for my bad english.
I've flashed with ODIN and flashed CWM Recovery a lot of times, but this time I can't get CWM Recovery to work.
I flash to stock with odin (I tried with 3 different stock versions), then flash CWM (Tried with CWM 4 and CWM 5 and no works, also tried flashing CWM 5 from ODIN)
When I boot in recovery mode, it stays on the screen that says Samsung with a green corner.
And it doesn't ever start CWM recovery.
(The strange thing is that it used to work, and it doesn't now)
Edit: I can boot but I can't boot into CWM recovery, but I can to normal stock recovery after flashing again.

Boot into stock recovery, do 2 wipes (data/factory reset and cache) after flash your stock rom via Odin and then boot again into stock recovery and flash this files ROOT+CWM 5.0.2.6. FIX

Flashed the KTM from Spain, booted into recovery, clear data and cache, install the .zip you said, and nothing.
Still gets stuck at the screen with green corner.

ok! Did you flashed both files root and cwm?
If you did it boot android, power on your device, install Terminal Emulator from market/playstore and type this;
Code:
su
reboot recovery
or try boot into recovery using CWM app

I've tried a lot of other recovery, but none works.
The only problem I have with this one is that I can install it, but it can't mount /system or /cache or /data.
Does anybody has found a solution for this yet?
Evening guys,
so 2 days ago I flashed the Philz Recovery for testing. While I had the recovery on I flashed the latest Nightly of the Slim Kat Rom + Cyodak Kernel also for testing.
Ofc I backed up my files be4 doing so. Today I just recovered my backup, went to recovery again but the Philz recovery was still there. '''kk no prob i thought,
just flash the CWM Touch recovery again'' so I did, rebooted back into recovery mode and what happened? Instead of booting into the cwm recovery, there's
still the philz recovery. While in philz on the bottom left it shows "Philz Touch 6.48.4 and ClockworkMod v6.0.5.0" So no Idea what to do and it gets frustrating tho..
Thx in advance .
You didn't flash CWM again, or not properly, unless you wouldn't have PhilZ still.
well there's nothing much I could do wrong. Reboot into Recovery -> Install Zip from ext. SD -> choose the CWM Recovery -> Install -> Reboot into Recovery and CWM should be there right?
Also i've tried to restore the backup which I made be4 installing the Philz recovery. Backup was a success but once i'll boot into recovery it's the philz recovery again.
Backups do not contain recovery.
rly? Cuz my backup backups also the boot.img + the recovery. Anyway what am I going to do now? I've tried several ways, even flashing the TWRP as a zip, flashing via flashify or Rom Manager, no matter what I do I always end up in the philz recovery even when it says flash successfull.

You can use fastboot to flash recovery.
