Hey guys, I'm currently running the leaked JI6 Froyo update that has been deodexed and the kernal has been changed to allow for <2e> recovery mode.
In Rom Manager (Premium), I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery successfully, and selected Backup Current Rom. I named the ROM, pressed OK, and it rebooted to <2e> recovery mode.
Then it just says:
# Manual Mode#
--Applying muti-CSC...
Installing Muti-CSC
and it just hangs there. I waited 10 minutes and then just rebooted the phone. I also tried selecting "reinstall packages" which also just rebooted the phone.
One solution said to select "Flash Alternative Recovery" after flashing ClockworkMod and then reflashing ClockWorkMod but the Flash Alternative Recovery option is greyed. I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?
The leaked captivate has the 2e recovery preventing you from using clockwork mod and thus rom manager. There is a way to flash a different kernel to allow user of clockwork. Do some digging in the dev section and you should be able to find it

when you are in 2e recovery, you need to select reinstall packages, let it reboot, then select it again. you will be put into clockworkmod

You're thinking of 3e.
like pirateghost said, you need to reinstall packages twice. The second time you will see a green recovery screen and that is 3e recovery.
Also, you shouldn't really use ROM Manager for anything anymore. There are update.zip files that you can download that will get you into the correct recovery and you should do your flashing and backing up from the recovery screen not ROM Manager.

Ya I must haver been thinking of the wrong recovery. Agreed about rom manager though it is essentially only a gui interface but it does not always works and just adds complication/problems

Hi,
I rooted my Samsung Infuse and flashed CM7 as explained in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311960
It looks awesome, many thanks to the people who put it together. ( I couldn't reply there since I am a "noob")
My phone boots fine in to CM7 and I can make calls and use other hardware, no problem so far.
I was trying to get Gapps by going to Rom Manger -> Download ROM -> Scroll down to Google Apps. It reboots and ends up at the screen with the white triangle around an exclamation and the android icon. I do not get the ClockworkMod menu. I have to press and hold the power button to reboot normally and get back to CM7.
Am I missing the recovery executable file? I looked in /system/bin and /sbin and it is not there. Should I copy the one I used earlier in to /system.bin ?
Thank you.
I believe cwm can show that when it is working, on some builds you can toggle between it showing the files being copied and that screen with the power button if I remember right.
Thanks for the reply, Dani897.
I am trying to get the Google apps installed which I couldn't since the recovery mode isn't showing up.
Any hint how I can get them on?

Not really sure, I don't run CM7. But if you are using ROM manager it might just start flashing and never enter the menu.
If it is hanging maybe you can find gapps.zip on xda somewhere and put it on the sd card. Then use the reboot into recovery option instead of the flash ROM option in ROM manager.
Why not install the. Apk's instead of flashing the Google aps

Thanks Dani897, didn't realize the reboot has recovery option. Now I have the Gapps installed.
In fact, CWM showed up when I rebooted into recovery mode. Wonder why ROM Manager couldn't do that.

If I remember correct ROM manager has several options, 1 is to download and flash roms, 1 is to flash from sd card 1 is to reboot into recovery. if you use the first two options it goes into recovery but not the menu, it skips strait to flashing so you don't needed to do any more work, it only shows the menu if you reboot into recovery.

Thanks for the reply Sarius24, I will try that the next time.
Do you happen to know of a reliable source for such apk's?

Good to know that. In fact, I tried the "Download ROM" option which downloaded the Gapps zip and rebooted in to the white triangle screen.
Now moving onto fixing other issues
Thank you.
I've followed the instructions and the videos...I cannot get my Infuse to allow me to install a new ROM. I had a Captivate previously and flashed frequently. Tried to resist rooting & flashing but finally ran out of patience waiting for AT&T.
So I have root. I've copied the recovery file from the SDCard to the /system/bin...made sure the permissions were all copied from the original recovery. I reboot into recovery and re-install packages.
I then downloaded ROMManager and installed. Reboot into Recovery (3e) and re-install packages which then brings me to the green font CWM. If I choose to install zip from SD I don't specifically see any errors on the screen, but I end up getting brought back to 3e reboot...which never goes anywhere.
I haven't been able to find much help on this searching...I can't be the only one having this issue.
Flash community kernel through Odin and you'll have fully working recovery...flash...wait til it starts to boot....pull battery...replace batt ...hold vol up, vol down and power til Samsung logo appears and let go and it will boot into red CWM then your good to flash away

I flashed a recovery with odin, and rooted my phone. However, I can't get it boot into CWM recovery. ROM Manager says I have CWM 3.0.0.8, however whenever I reboot into recovery it opens "Android System Recovery <3e>" in blue lettering.
Any insight?
same here.

Hi. Did you boot into stock ROM after flashing? If so, that's why you lost everything. If I were you, and I was about a year ago, I would go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
P.S. don't use ROM manager to flash anything. Bad things usually happen

I just installed ROM Manager and Clockworkmod on my phone. I downloaded the MIUI ROM and installed it. The phone rebooted but is stuck at the LG splash screen. When I try to get into Clockwork Recovery it just shows the image of a box and android with an arrow pointing to the android. Then the phone reboots... Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I'm kinda new to ROMs and don't know much about the topic. Any help would be appreciated.
You need to use NVFlash to flash CWM. ROM manager doesn't actually change the recovery partition, so the volume down+ power button shortcut still activates the stock recovery

Thanks! I'll try it out.
Didn't you read the guide on how to flash clockwork mod for this phone? Or did you just hastily assume that all phones can use ROM manager and gave it a shot?
Hi All,
I've looked all around for the answer to this and am thoroughly lost. I have the Verizon Galaxy S3 with VRALHE. I rooted it, then used EZ-Unlock 1.2 to unlock the phone, then installed Rom manager and flashed CWR. It says it installed 6.0.1.2 but when I try and go into recovery it only goes into Android Recovery. If I flash CWR and right away click the boot into CWR button it seems to go but after that it will only go into Android Recover both via Rom manager and holding Volume Up, Power and Home. Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks for your help!
If it does go into cwm the first time then after that stock there are two files you need to erase that basically reinstall the stock recovery on reboot. I can't recall them, but you could probably search here and find them. Or the easier way is busy flash a custom ROM n that first boot into cwm. By the way ez recovery is better for installing our recoveries, give it a shot.... It may sick without the extra stuff I just told you.

Anyone know where to look into about the files that need to be deleted? I'm not finding much. EZ recovery worked the first reboot but returned to Android recovery after a reboot.

I would recommend re-flashing Clockworkmod Recovery from EZ recovery, then using EZ recovery to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery, after your are in Clockworkmod Recovery select the "Reboot system" option, you should then be asked if you want to erase two files to make Clockworkmod Recovery stick permanently (At least until you flash a different recovery) select the "Yes" option, then after it has completed that task the phone should reboot, while it is rebooting boot into recovery and you should find that Clockworkmod Recovery is still installed.
I like to help, but Google stuff. This is what you would have found as the second result
/system/recovery-from-boot.p*
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

So to confirm to everyone, Deleting the 2 files above does work! So delete the files then re-flash CWR and restart that's it!
I wanted to thank everyone for the help!
Same problem but a little different

I have the same problem sorta, my phone instead of going into CWR it goes into Android system Recovery, and it asks me for an update, I was trying to root my phone but it won't even let me go into recovery so I can root it. Do you know why it's asking me this? Also idk if this helps but the android dude is in the background with an open stomach and a triangle and an exclamation mark in it. Hope my details were helpful, thanks.

What rooting guide did you follow? Did you flash Clockworkmod Recovery yet? If you can provide me with this information I can try help you further. If you haven't flashed Clockworkmod Recovery yet then you will be presented with the normal stock Android recovery system that you described.

Ummm... You do not necessarily go into recovery to root it. Have you installed and used Odin through your PC? You say you are trying to root your phone, so before you get ahead of yourself trying to flash recoveries I recommend reading up a little bit, it is very important you follow directions specifically or you will brick your device....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
There is even a video watch it while you root your phone, and pause along with it.
If you have already done some of this, and done any of it wrong there are steps to recover through Odin.
