Hey I have a question. I just rooted my device and flashed a stock rooted Tom / kernel.
However now it seems as though the recovery (CW) is not sticking? It would just boot into the.Google screen and just stay there, and now it just boots back into the bootloader. And clockwork is nowhere to be found. Any ideas? And thanks in advance.

The stock rom will overwrite recovery on boot - this is done automatically. To prevent this delete/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh
Sticking at the Google screen is an issue with the ROM/Kernel combination you've chosen. Re-flash CWM and re-flash your ROM. If you're interested what's "sticking" you can likely adb shell logcat and see what is hanging or failing.
Thank-you. Will I have to repush the recovery and than rename the file? Or can I just edit the file the way my phone is now?

If you're rooted as long as you can boot you can rename/delete the file. Otherwise just:
-Flash CWM
-Flash your ROM (or boot if you can boot without issue)
-Rename the script (/etc/install-recovery.sh - name it whatever you want) - you'll either need to remount rw or use something like root explorer to make it easier
-You'll likely need to flash CWM again. You can do this via Rom Manager or manually via fastboot
At this point it should "stick" in the sense that it will not be overwritten on boot any longer.
One more question where is the location of the script that needs to.be edited in root explorer. As in the location.
Seriously thanks!

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

I know I'm probably just not doing something right but after I completely restored my infuse to factory and rerooted it, I'm trying to restore my backup I made from CWM and it seems all my options are missing from CWM when I boot into recovery mode. My options used to be gree and I had lots of options... one in particular was "restore and backup". So I can not restore from my backup now. Here is a pic of what my restore screen looks like. How do I fix this? Thanks!
Hit reinstall packages. You should have to do this twice

oh yea thats right... correct me if im wrong, don't I just take the file and place it on my sdcrd, boot into recover and install the zip?
First, you have to replace the stock 3e recovery with a modified version (disables signature checking). It's the "recovery" file in /system/bin. You do not use the recovery interface to install it. From there, you can flash your unsigned zips.
Alternatively, you can just flash an image using Odin.

Looks like you're having issues getting into the recovery. That screen isn't the recovery, and I've had it before.
A lot of times, when you root on a stock rom, the phone deletes clockwork and restores the old recovery. That might be why you're having issues with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
The second post on this thread describes how to make clockwork stick. You might need to make use of some adb commands OR get an app like Root Explorer.
1. Flash the recovery
2. Follow the instructions in the second post before rebooting your phone.
That should do it.

Actually it is. That's the stock recovery, but it's options are too limited which is why we use CWM.
Rest of your instructions should help the OP out though, good on that.

Just flash clockwork again and flash a non stock rom, or remove the file as described if u wanna stay stock.
Ya I think it was just freezing up got into recovery and installed new rom

I'm helping a friend with his Nexus S 4G by sprint. We are rooted, SU is installed, CWR is flashed but volume up and power keeps going back t o fastboot. Please help.
Go down to recovery and click power in fast boot?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I know that much but it doesn't go to recovery menu right from an OFF state. I have to get to it when the phone is on from rom manager. I'd like to be able to press the up and power button and then go to recovery in fastboot. As of now it gives me the android and the box symbol meaning that it doesn't have CWR. Confusing.
really weird when i had this problem all i did was install CWR from ROM manager
It just won't stick, I have to keep flashing the latest CWR recovery.

Thank you very much, this was the fix. This post specifically
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19531979&postcount=30
just rename the file "install-recovery.sh" which is in the /etc folder. You can only access it with a root file manager (rootexplorer $4 on the market)
make sure your new file is not ending with .sh
I looked around in the forms but I couldent find an answer, ive had my charge for about a month now and the other day i was messing with it and i soft bricked it so i used odin and put it back to stock everything. When i rooted my phone i now don't have a boot animation I can hear the sound when it boots but its just a black screen until my lock screen comes up. Anyone have any idea how to fix cuz I sure don't. I'm running stock rom with 4.0 kernel and the fp1 radio update If that makes any difference.

That kernel is old. Use this one http://rootzwiki.com/topic/137-01-30-12peanutbutta-jelly-time/
You need to make sure the boot animation is named sanim.zip and put it in /system/media and set permissions to rw-r--r--

Long shot, check in your build.prop located in /system to see if you have this line in the file, if you do just put a "#" in front of the line (without quotation mark).
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
change to:
# debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
If you don't see anything like that, just use cwm, mount /system clear cache/davik cache, if still not working, do the same process but reflash your rom.

Another long shot, check permission on these 2 files: bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg exist in /system/media.
I strongly believe that some thing wrong when you rooted your phone last time. if you take a stock rom with pre rooted and odin back, it won't take long and may solve your issue.( http://www.ponack.net/danalo/all_in_one_odin_ep4d.tar.zip) unzip and odin stock rom with root.
