Help please with clockwork recovery

I'm on hour 7 of trying to flash the TNT Lite 2.2 on a new Gtab.
So far I've:
Rooted with z4 Root.
Installed Rom Manager and did a Flash clockwork Recovery. This worked.
When I start up holding the ^ button it looks for a new recovery kernel and then goes to an exclamation mark.
I have also tried Reboot to Recovery in Rom Manager and it does nothing.
How do I finish this off and get this Rom installed???

You can't yet use Rom manager to flash clockworks on this... it says it was successful and it makes rom manager happy But heaven knows where it flashed it as it wasn't to the recovery partition... still need to flash bekit's .8 version as described here...

I installed Clockwork .8 and unzipped. Showing the update.zip and recovery folder on root. Restarted with ^ volume and still getting an exclamation mark with an instant restart.

Did you check the recovery folder to verify a command file is present?

It Works !!!!
Had to move the update.zip and recovery file from the subfolder over to the root.

Stuck at samsung logo!!!!

OK, so I was in the process of trying to flash Infused V2 beta 3, and just downloaded the 3e recovery and put it in system/bin and rebooted and all was good, was trying to install CWM from ROM Manager. ROM Manager said it sucessfully installed CWM 2.5.0.1 or whatever the latest version is. I decided to try to reboot into recovery from within ROM Manager and now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo. What do I do?

hold the three button combo till it reboots and let go when you see samsung. (power and both volumes)
if that doesnt get you into recovery(3e blue recovery once here you reinstall packages twice) then hold three buttons again but let go when the screen goes black. if the phone doesnt boot it is in a semi brick situation . likely a premission problem or a corrupt recovery file.
odin may be needed to flash the phone.
a voodoo kernel like "defuse" may fix it as it will redirect the phone to cwm recovery not 3e (get the .tar file not the .zip file) it will do a voodoo conversion you will hear robot voices and it may take 10min so dont jump to conclusions.
if the kernel doesnt work then flash the unbrick package.

Well I just used odin to get me back. Thanks.

Ok now I have another problem. I just noticed that every time I reboot the phone, Handcent SMS basically reinstalls itself or something. Any setting or theme changes I make don't stick when rebooted. Any ideas? Man I'm angry. All I want is to flash Infused V2 Beta 3!
EDIT: and Tango does the same thing. I'm sure others will do it too, just havent reinstalled everything yet
ttttthhhhhiiisssss ssssssssuuuuuuuuuuxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

FYI, I'm trying a factory reset right now

Factory reset got me back to... well... factory unfortunately

Root gone bad...

I was trying to root an infuse 4g.
So I followed the you tube video to install the modded 3e recovery and CMW.
Once I was in 3e and did reinstall packages, it loaded into CWM.
I then flashed the CWM zip from the following thread. 100% working ClockworkMod Recovery for Infuse 4G [GTG465x]
Then I went to flash CM7. I went to reboot the phone and constantly just boots into CWM and never boots CM7.
I can't get into download mode, so I'm not sure what I can do from here.
Anyone got any suggestions.
The phone does power up, but I just can't ADB or get it into download mode..

Get into recovery. There you go to mounts and storage, format /system, then reflash CM7 and gapps. That's how you flash CM7, you have to flash, format, then reflash.

hmm that didn't work.
The phone shows the Samsung splash, then loads CWM (v5.0.2.6)

When you flash CM7, it gets stuck on the Samsung splashscreen, you pull the battery, boot into CWM, then format/reflash. What did you do?

from the beginning this is what I did:
1. I used SuperOneClick to root the Infuse
2. Followed the youtube video to install the 3e recovery.
3. Continued with the video and used ROM Manager to install CWM.
4. In ROM Manager, used "Reboot into Recovery"
5. Phone rebooted, and I was in the 3e recovery.
6. Selected "reinstall packages" (performed this twice).
7. Once I was in CWM 2.5.1.2, I flash the zip in "100% working ClockworkMod Recovery for Infuse 4G [GTG465x]" thread and rebooted recovery.
Somehow I was loaded into CWM v5.0.2.6. (not I'm not sure if this is the correct version)
8. I went to flash CM7 and gapps.
9. Rebooted phone.
10. Phone shows "Samsung" splash, then jumps right into CWM. I don't even tell the phone to boot into recovery.
Now I been trying to get into download mode, but i can't get the phone to be picked up by Odin or into download mode to start over...

Pull battery plug in USB cord hold volume buttons while put battery back in this will put you in download mode

Thanks! that did it...

Please Help: Stuck since last 3 days, cannot install any rom

Phone: Rogers i896
I have been through Multiple stock Roms of 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
Lets take a simple example of 2.1 where I flash into CWM, install CM7 but I am stuck in install loop, all it does is tries to install, shows me flashing screen which is way too quick for me to read and but I have managed to read some lines and they probably say
E: Cannot find or Cannot update
No Such file or Directory
Like I said, since last 3 days - whatever I do I am stuck in that. I have tried formatting internal SD Card, tried to install from External SD Card but no go

Boot into cwm, factory reset, install from sd card. If you boot loop, repeat procedure again.

Sometimes you have to hold the recovery buttons down for a long while, at least 4 or 5 flashes of the i896 page. This worked for me a few times (Rogers i896). But the only thing I found that worked when I got stuck in boot loops was flashing stock Froyo with Heimdall. Can you boot into download mode?

Pull the battery, reinsert battery,then with phone off, press volume up + volume down + power. Hold those buttons until you see the first boot screen. Hold it about 5 seconds, then release.

OK, so I went to recovery mode - deleted factory/clean - and tried with MIUI - that worked?? can I install CM 7 on top of MIUI?

That's good to hear. MIUI is a very good ROM and is based on CM7 so there should be no problem flashing CM7.1 from MIUI (I do it all the time). Go into ROM manager and flash CWM to 3.x before flashing CM though.

Sweet, that worked too. I now have CM7 - would it better to CWM and factory reset now? so everything is clean or not recommended and/or doesnt matter?
I have used MIUI - few drawbacks, some apps dont work + screenshot is not as simple as CM7

Did you do the wipes in CWM before you installed the zip? If so I wouldn't worry about it if not a reset doesn't hurt.

Copy Rom to sdcard.
Go to download mode (Vol- + Vol+ + USB plug PC)
Use odin and flash to stock JF6
Feed talon 1.2 --> CWM --> factory reset --> install zip file -> choose zip file --> new rom

A700 Need to go back to stock

Hi, would like to go back to stock and am having problems getting into fast boot. I installed the original image file on my sd card it goes into fast boot and apears to begin to flash the recover after a couple of second it has the android laying down with the exclamation point. Anybody have any ideas? I am currently rooted and boot unlocked.

Are you running a recovery or flashing the recovery image ?? If you are running the recovery, make sure you have the power lead in !

No, I am trying to install the original recovery thru the SD card. I hold down the power + vol up button to get the recovery file to update the original recovery but get the android with a exclamation point. It wont install the recover zip. I have renamed it to recovery.zip, but still not working?
