My droid charge sits in the blue recovery and I cannot get it back to ext4 cwm or flash anything regardless. I recently had ext4 and I think I somehow tried to flash an rts rom.
I read somewhere its as easy as pie to fix if you flash a red cwm recovery but I don't have one. Any clues. Btw I can't boot into any rom

Have you tried using ODIN and flashing the latest Gingerbread?

Run Odin and pull your Battery. Hold down the Vol Down button then flash GB with ODIN follow the directions to a T. They are posted on the post for the leak.
I'll try this.

My son bricked his phone last night! I'm not familiar with samsung and odin at all. I have an evo and I'm always installing roms on my phone, so I'm aware of the process. Can someone please explain to me how to fix his device using odin. I have already installed the proper drivers and odin software. I'm not sure of what rom or where to get a stock rom from. I also dont know the process or steps to begin usin odin.
Thanks

from that link, go to the op, find the noobs guide to Odin and follow that. if you want, you can Odin to a different ROM. But I would suggest sticking with a froyo one until you know what you are doing

Just flash it. It won't make a difference. That is just a bug within red cwm. It won't ever mount even if you odin a new rom. So just flash adrenaline shot. It reads and writes to /system just fine. That is why you can flash roms from red cwm.

if that were true, then why do devs always tell us what mounts to use for their roms? i'm pretty sure they don't put it there just for looks.

It's because older versions of the CWM/voodoo kernels didn't let you mount from the installer scripts. Now we've been putting the mount command into the script to make sure everything that is needed by the installer gets mounted even if you don't wind up setting the mounts yourself. Just making your life easier.

sounds like it's connecting fine.. and you described it right, flash the stock rom in Odin first and boot up to make sure it works or do some minor set-up, then flash the latest 8/17 CWM in Odin and immediately boot into it after, make the backup then flash whatever rom/kernel you want (Gummy 2.0 has one included and will enable voodoo lagfix on first boot)
not that hard once you do it once or twice and kinda learn how it all works and whatnot

and no the stock rom does not include a custom voodoo kernel but the Gummy 2.0 package does so it will install the kernel and rom and enable voodoo lagfix on first boot (the Gummy rom package includes version 2.2.5 of that kernel I linked so it's a bit old, you can update it if you want by flashing the new one in CWM afterwards)

you don't really need to format the sd card as everything android related (not phone #'s or pictures or anything *you* put on there) will be wiped when you do the wipes in CWM

no no no stock rom in PDA first, boot up after the flash, power down and connect to Odin again and put CWM in PDA (everything goes in PDA) and flash then unplug phone after it passes and immediately boot into CWM no regular boot up.. then wipe data, dalvik (under advanced) and cache then flash Gummy or rom of your choice (custom rom build must match stock build like stock EP1W with EP1W Gummy 2.0), select reboot phone option and let the kernel activate voodoo lagfix when it boots up (may take a while)... once it starts you'll have a rooted voodoo custom rom, then you can hold the power button down until the reboot options menu comes up and select recovery to proceed to flash the updated kernel if you want
also the modems will be the ones installed with the stock rom, but you can flash new ones in Odin in the PDA section if you want

probably because the rom didn't include a custom kernel or for whatever reason it didn't make it work.. flash or reflash a custom kernel and there won't be any more problems

not having a custom voodoo kernel to make CWM 'stick' in the system is what causes overwrites after flashing

Can you give me an example of what that could be to cause this rom set up etc
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I know that Infinity rom doesn't come with a kernel so recovery will be overwritten after the phone boots up the first time.. also I think some roms come with kernels (Gummy and Humble) but CWM isn't bundled in for whatever reason so you may need to flash it again afterwards
flashing CWM over and over will not harm the phone but honestly other than not having a custom kernel I have no idea why it would go to stock recovery every time and it hasn't ever happened to me

If I understand correctly its strictly a kernal issue I would flash gummy 2.0 then wipe cache and dalvic cache then flash kernel and then reboot

Hi there,
I own a Rogers Samsung Infuse. I rooted and flashed CM9 onto my phone yesterday. Long story short, had an issue with Google Apps, and ended up with a phone that would constantly boot to the CWM Recovery screen.
I was able to use ODIN3 to get my phone back to stock, but could not flash CM9 (or anything) with CWM as I was (and still am) getting the:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I tried using this: Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e), but the phone kept getting stuck at the Samsung screen.
I tried watching the modified e3 recovery video on youtube, but my recovery file is sitting in the root folder, and not in system/bin where it should be. I ignored the location of the file, replaced it with the modified e3 recovery file, but when I rebooted my phone, it's as if the changes didn't take place.
I've been digging (maybe not hard enough) for a solution to this problem. CM9 looked fantastic for the 5 minutes I had it on my phone.
What can I do now?
It sounds to me like you lost cwm recovery if you want to flash cm9 you need to flash the ics recovery file. Doesn't verify signature verification

Compatible...? You have to be on blue cwm to flash cm9 & aokp ....red cwm will not work...that's why you do a two flash...
My first attempt to get into CWM recovery after getting my phone back to stock and re-rooting put me into red recovery mode for reason. I ended up in blue recovery mode after trying to flash/reboot once? I completed the process in blue recovery to ensure it works, and it's been good since Monday. Only the Kernel Panic Upload Mode is giving me trouble...
I also got this problem
I also got this problem tell me please what can i do , i cant install any modes

I can see Blue letters while starting the phone in recovery mode. I assume that is Blue CWM. Please correct if I am wrong. If that is Blue CWM, then I need the recovery file. Please help.

Not necesarilly. The stock 3e recovery also has blue letters, but you should be able to tell them apart. It actually says 3e at the top and only has about 3 options to select.
