prolly gotta rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something else. add a .bak to the end of the file name.
I am having the same issue now. Clockwork Recovery just will not flash. I have to use 'fastboot boot recovery.img' to get into it. I have tried numerous versions, different roms, fastboot, and Rom Manager.
On Nexus S 4G. Currently running CM9 nightly.
Bootloader Version=D720SPRKE1
Baseband Version=D720SPRKL2
Bootloader=unlocked
I have tried reflashing the modem back to KE1, but still can't flash Clockwork Recovery.
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but anyone have any ideas? I have searched all over. I use to not have this issue at all.

So I flashed clockwork when rooting and renamed the script that always reverted to the stock recovery. I could always access clockwork from the bootloader.
However I just started using rom manager. Since it made me flash the recovery again I can't access clockwork from the bootloader. Can someone offer me advice on what to do to remedy this? I want to be able to access recovery no matter what.

If you can't access recovery from the bootloader you probably need to flash it again from within rom manager. That happened to me once and a reflash of recovery worked.
Power button and volume up to access with phone off to get in.
Hi
I installed CWM 5 on my Nexus S. I can reboot one time and go back to CWM but after a second reboot, the recovery is back to default and I have to reflash it
Does any of you already experienced this problem ?
happens to me. i go to rom manager and re flash cwm then reboot to recovery.
Are you both using stock? The stock rom has a script that restores the default recovery when you reboot.
Delete / rename /etc/install-recovery.sh
This script writes the stock recovery on boot.

I've experienced this as well, and plan to re-name install-recovery.sh.
For those that are continually re-flashing the recovery image, do you think there is a possibility of writing to that area too many times?
I've heard of NAND flash dying in flash drives after very data intensive operations, and I've also heard of ROM storage areas having a limited number of writes.
Just wanted to test the waters.

Always flash through Fastboot, Better than flashing from Rom manager.
I renamed /etc/install-recovery.sh and it works
Thanks
Happens to me until I started flashing twice everytime I flash a Rom ... =] try it

I did the same thing with my I9020T, I accidentally used the 4G one click unroot and it installed a 4G rom on my T-mobile NS. Now when I try to flash a stock rom for the I9020T it gives me a signature verification errror, I'm still trying to figure it out
I haven't tried it out yet but I have a theory. The recovery on my phone I realised is the default Google one. Not CWM so I'm gonna try and reflash CWM and try to install an i9023 stock rom.
It you have a comp around try it would you? I'm not getting home for a while :/

Go get the correct rom then rename it to update.zip move it to the root of your sd
Go in stock fastboot mode
Go to recovery hit the power button and when you see the the android question mark guy hold volume up and power
Go to apply update.zip and when your on your correct rom do this process to flash any stock rom
You should just flash the correct ICS rom ,good luck and please read read and when you think you got it read some more

Another way I can think of is to flash koushs recovery img in fastboot mode and restore one of your backups, hopefully you didn't delete them because there still there but you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to see them

I tried using the default Google recovery to flash back. Hopeless. I keep getting the security error. I'm pretty sure Koush’s cwm will be able to fix it but I need a damn computer!

Solved. I flashed CWM. Flashed a rom(CyberGR) and a baseband(XXKB3) and I realized my efs was screwed. I restored my efs with Root explorer. And done. Problem solved.
I have the same problem too, and I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396224 to boot using recovery mode. It works!
Background: I am still on ICS 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked (atleast ez unlock says im unlocked and i have superuser and voodoo says im still rooted) .
However, when I try to flash a custom recovery , ROM manager gets stuck at 100 % and closes. I have also tried installing a custom recovery via EZ recovery, and it says its flashed. However, when I boot into recovery mode, all i see is the stock recovery. So I am not sure what is going on. Do you guys have any idea?
If your still on ICS try selecting an older recovery? Some newer versions are not meant for ICS anymore I believe ...

I recall a similar issue I had due to the bootchain...not sure if that would apply here or not though
I was reading somewhere that samsung devices auto -overwrite a flashed recovery and change it back to stock. I am not sure how to combat this issue , or whether this affects anyone else?
You could try flashing a recovery through odin, that might give a different result. I think when you boot straight into recovery mode from download mode after flashing it might ask you to disable the phone from auto restoring the stock recovery.
I could be wrong though, it seems that's a common thing that happens when rooting a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 base. However, flashing only the recovery file should still work for an ics base too. Just make sure it's a tar file, not an img file for the custom recovery for use in odin.

So I have the LG Optimus V and was running a custom Stock ROM. I was going to give it to a friend to use so decided to use the factory reset in the phone...whoops.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0 and every time I try to install a ROM from the zip file on it it just goes back to Clockwork after a reboot.
I've tried using the ROMs listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_V/ROMs (besides MIUIv4 and LeWa Port) to no avail. I just keep rebooting back into recovery after it says it was a successful install.
I've also tried getting into a workaround using fastboot but I believe the condition my phone is in right now won't allow it. I can't boot up to the fastboot recovery and other issues have arised.
So is there anything I can do or am I boned?
Thanks for reading and any feedback

Are there any other recoveries for your phone
AFAIK new ROMs don't support Clockwork Mod 3.2
Try updating the recovery to the latest one available i.e maybe 4.x for your Optimus V
This problem happened to me some months ago
I reflashed the recovery using terminal emulator
