I am trying to install cyanogenmod 7 but rom manager just doesn't seem to be installing the flash clockworkmod recovery option, it takes a second to finish and it says "sucsessfully downloaded clockworkmod" not "succsessfully installed clockworkmod" so when i try to open recovery mode it keeps going to the defualt android recovery mode and i can't install CM7 because the install fails at verification.
I tried using an older version of the clockworkmod flash file but it says "an error occured while downloading your recovery", so i don't know what im doing wrong it could be because i am installing this on a motorola flipout which is identicle internally to the droid so i have been using that ROM but i think this is unlikley the problem.
Please help.
thanks!

Even if it's identical on the inside, there might be firmware differences that you are not noticing. Try flashing a ROM for the Flipout instead.
My Girlfriend asked me to update her SGS, so I said, why not trying a costum ROM. She agreed...
So is first installed CWM with hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery and the Heimdall Suite.
I made a backup of her data and installed CM7.
But she did not like it and asked me to recover her old system.
So I opened CWM and choose the backup. Then in the beginning of the progress the phone suddenly rebooted and stuck at the fist samsung Logo...
So I tried to install CM7 again.
"Error in CM7.....zip" (Status 7)
I downloaded it again and moved the new file to the SD. Same Problem.
I tried another ROM.
"Cannot mount \system"
I did hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery and the Heimdall Suite again. Same Problem
I formated the whole file system (and deleted the backup by misstake)
Same Problem...
I read that CM7 changes the partition structure, maybe thats the problem?
I read about Odin but of course, as I used the guide above I did not wrote don the IMEI etc of the SGS.
My GF is going to kill me, this is serious
Any suggestions?
I tried something different with using odin
I tried to install an original ROM but also gut errors from the filesystem.
When rebooting the logo shows up and the animation starts but it loops and never end.
"Cant mount /dbdata your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for format and reboot options"
And bootloader (3e) showing up, when i try to do something it crashes and when trying to reboot BSOD....
Even when I try to start the bootloader alone
cannot mount /dbdata (invalid argument)
faild to mount /dbdata (File exsists)
Cant acess to /system/csc/ELP/system/
Ok then I tried to check the "Re-Partition" Box but Odin is not starting the process if its checked...
Try flashing firmware from here. Most of them contain bootloaders. And repartition with 512 pit.

I made it to reinstall Cyanogenmod. Dont know how it exactly worked, but it did.
So the first thing I want to do is to backup those EFS-Files.
My problem is that I dont have the possibility to install ROMS because (like at the very first installation) The Progressbar of the CWM Installer stops after a few seconds an the device reboots without having anything installed.
But, as I have CM7 installed, I have SU. so maybe there are other possibilites to backup those important files? Just copy the directory?
I had nerves and made it to install MIUI. It has all the google apps, its shiny and very girl-like.
I realy pray she likes it.
Now, 8 hours later I want to let you know I will not study tomorrow morning. Im just going to BED !!!
hhhhhhhhhhhhh dont do it again
Try to install an official rom with 3 files using odin then re-install the old rom

Hey all
I'm posting this because i haven't found any posts similar.
I have a rooted galaxy ace 5380i and recently i decided i wanted to change my rom ( i was on Gingerbread)
So first i needed to flash a cwm recovery zip. I did but since then the phone won't boot. I can access recovery mode but it's the system recovery mode. I can only enter clockworkmod recovery by installing it. As soon i switch the phone off it puts it back to system recovery. I tried flashing different versions but they all came up with status 7 error Installation aborted... I also tried flashing roms directly but with no success.. Please help me out here, i'm in a lot of trouble without a phone..

Are you sure you are flashing the recovery for 5830i and not 5830 ??
Hello
Recently I flashed SpeedMod Kernel K17 and if I want to install a custom ROM like LineAgeOS it says: 'This VERSION has a incompatible partition layout'
If I choose the zip again it is flashing TWRP and after a reboot its booting into recovery mode and it stops flashing. And the problem is, that every ROM gives this incompatible partition layout message.
I've tried several times reflashing the stock ROM and trying it again.
Sorry for my bad english
EDIT: I solved it by using a other PIT File
