Ok, this might sound weird but once when this issue happened to me, I don't know how or why but when I downloaded the towelroot apk and clicked on make it ra1n and then reinstalled SuperSu, then the recovery started working again.
It's weird but give it a shot... Worked for me once..

No this didn't work also.cant boot recovery.although when i open rom manager it says "current recovery team win recovery project"

You can install the 3-way recovery pack.
Rashr doesn't work on Stock ROM (not for me at least)

How to Install CWM Recovery in Galaxy Mini S5570 Smartphone?
So, let's begin. Follow instructions below to install latest cwm recovery in your galaxy mini handset.
Make sure you have got Gingerbread OS on your galaxy mini : Upgrade to GB if you don't have.
Download Odin Multidownloader v4.38 for GTS5570, Tass_v1.ops and latest Clockwork Mod Recovery if you do not have them already. You can download them from here.
Run Odin Multi downloader v4.38 and select the Tass_v1.ops by clicking OPS button.
Select One Package Option and Click One Package button and select the recovery file name (CWM-5.0.2.8-Touch2-yagya.tar.md5) file you downloaded.
Leave other settings to default (i.e. don’t change any other options/settings)
When you are done reboot your phone in download mode (Press Volume Down + Home + Power button to go to download mode)
Connect your phone in download mode to your computer via USB Cable.
When Odin detects your phone (If you see a com port number written in yellow background at the top left, then your phone is detected. View image.), click Start button.
Wait till Odin finishes the job (approx. 3-5 minutes) and when it reports ‘PASS’, you can disconnect your phone.
That's all. You have flashed latest CWM recovery on your device.

I think you misunderstood....
I know it's easy flashing an update directly via CWM recovery. I just posted these since many people asked me to do so.
I guess some users still prefer flashing recovery via Odin unlike you or me.

Get in to recovery then just apply update ..
No lappy or desktop needed.. No download mode..
Just bluethoot the zip to my friend, then made it...
Easyest way..

Yea, guyzz. I got you all... I know we can flash CWM updates via recovery but,
let me be clear Some guyz out there still would like to give this a try. So, can we just stay out of this. Those who need will use and those who don't will not.
Why should you or me get a headache for such a small reason?

Yes, it is...
This is probably the same as squadzone's recovery except that this is to be fashed via Odin.
so where's the changelog of this recovery, what's the advantages that this recovery have?

Because you are using stock rom. You need custom roms like CM7 for this to work properly. You can get one at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com and then try again. It will work nicely.
I got an error:
"cannot open the usb serial port. code: 2"
what should I do? Disconnect the phone or wait?
Thank you all.
You will need to close Samsung Kies if you have it installed otherwise install USB drivers from Samsung and try again.
Thanks for your help yagya.
I have rebooted the PC, reconnected the phone and everything worked out perfectly. Now I have CWM installed and running .
Just one question, if I reflash stock ROM on the device trough Kies, will it get rid of CWM or will I still have it?

About restoring a bakcup on the unofficial CM9

I made a bakcup with ROM manager but when I try to flash it, it says it doesn't have the neccesary permissions to do it. The rom is not root enabled by default, so I guess there's that.
I can't flash it through CWM because it just says "files not found". Any help?.
Our CM9 rom isn't rooted ? I'm sure it is, just check it...
How did you try to flash it ? Via backup or via flash zip ?

Both.
Which version of CWM Recovery do you run ?
I've experienced issues on Tantrums Touch Mod...
5.0.2.6
without root
As was mentioned before, you can't do a backup without Root Permissions.

No, HotFix1 should repair SU but it doesn't.
Well then, I guess I have to wait for the new fix. Thanks for the anwers!.
Just reboot in recovery and do the back up restoration from there.

I can't. You do know that CWM stands for "ClockworkMod" right? (which is the recovery mode).
EDIT: I managed to restore the backup with a different superuser fix. Look for it on the CM9 thread.
I do know what CWM stands for and that's why i did that suggestion. Even though the first build didn't have fully working SU it still had the option to reboot in recovery. When you choose reboot there was reboot and recovery option.
I just happened to do the very suggested thing myself .

It's still not working. When I swipe to install it says it failed. Then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe or back. I click reboot then it tells me superuser permissions are messed up would I like to fix them. I click yes swipe then I'm back where I started. With superuser and not supersu.

[Q] GT-S6500D Boot Loop after updating CWM from 6.0.3.2 to 6.0.4.7

Hello everybody.
I was trying to install CyanogenMod 11.0 for Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 but after getting Status 7 error, I did some research and found out that I had to update the CWM to the newest one.
I updated it successfully from the old CWM and after restart it booted me into the new one. Than I rebooted the phone and since then, it started looping. It doesn't go into recovery mode. Only if I push Volume Down + home + Power, it goes into Download Mode.
I googled but I couldn't find anything that would help.
I'm inexperienced in die-hard tweaking on Android but I'm not a newbie in mobile phones (Proud ex owner of N900).
Please help and thank you in advance

One sure way to fix this is to go back to stock. You said that you can go to download mode. So use odin to flash stock.
Another way would be to use adb to get into recovery, but I don't know if you have access to adb.

I have never used cwm 6.0.4.7. I always used cwm 6.0.4.5 and I had no problem installing CM 11 with this. So what I suggest is:
-First flash cwm via odin (whatever version you find available).
-Then via cwm flash an update to cwm-6.0.4.5.
-Then wipe data/cache and /system.
-Flash cm11.
-(Perhaps flash gapps?)
-Reboot and enjoy (it will take a lot of a time to boot for first time so be patient)
Warning: While using cwm 6.0.3.2 avoid using option "reboot to recovery". This is what will get you stuck in a recovery bootloop.
After upgrating to 6.0.4.5 you should be ok.

It has internal SD mount problems, but not everyone has this problem. For some it just works fine.
Also I think that 6.0.4.7 also has the same problem.
Finally there is a 6.0.4.5 that I've uploaded that avoids mounting internal SD and only mounts external SD. Just for those who have mount problems and still want to install KitKat (because KitKat needs cwm 6.0.4.5 +)

[Q] Cyanogenmod Xperia SP, can't access CWM

Hi guys,
Ok, so I've searched through everything and I still can't find an answer to my problem. So, basically, I have just installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my Xperia SP successfully using CWM recovery and then I wanted to reboot my phone again into CWM, so that I could install gapps, but I just couln't. Despite pushing right buttons while booting or making him boot into recovery mode, he always turns on the system. I can't get into flash tool either, but maybe it is because I have a blocked bootloader. I don't know if it's a valid info, but I have used "Wipe data/factory reset" before installing Cyanogenmod 11.
Please, help me, as I have no clue what to do now :<

What about unlocking your bootloader?

Maybe his bootloader can't be unlocked.
But if it can be (just dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check bootloader status), I too would suggest unlocking it. Makes flashing and customizing so much more easier and there infinitely more ROM's and other files to choose from.
Of course take a TA backup before you unlock your bootloader or your warranty's gone for good.
