[Q] Where did all my CWM optios go?

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.

Problem when Rooting! Not Noob Problem! Tried Everything!

Hey Guys, I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I've been trying to root and I've ran into so many problems. I use SuperOneClick. It usually doesn't work or just freezes. Before you call me a noob. Yes I have the Drivers. Yes I've tried different versions of Drivers. Yes I used different versions of SuperOneClick including Latest and Older that have been said to work. Yes I used different exploits for both versions in SuperOneClick. Yes I've ran as Administrator as well. I have Windows 7 32 Bit. I just don't know what's wrong!

Have you tried different USB cables or slots? Sometimes that matters.

It's boot looping now. It goes to homescreen scans SD card then reboots. The instructions tell me to do this.
- Install kernel using ODIN version, phone will reboot automatically.
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery).
- Disable voodoo
- Reboot
- Install busybox from market
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery)
- Enable voodoo
- Reboot
But do I get into adb reboot recovery? I feel like such a noob...

Here's the translation:
1) flash the kernel in PDA
2) let it boot up; shut down; go into CWM with volume up, volume down, and power
3) once in CWM, Voodoo > turn ext4 off
4) reboot
5) install busybox by Stericson in the market
6) go back to CWM with the same method as before
7) enable Voodoo
8) reboot your ROM and hear Linda convert your file system to ext4. She should say "convert data partition", "convert system partition", and end with "Voodoo lagfix is now activated".
To double check if Voodoo is activated, download the Voodoo app and check to see if ext4 is on /cache, /data, and /system.
Any GB ROM right now could pretty much be flashed over that without a problem.
I hope I helped!

Is there instruction on updating the kernels with Odin. Do I down load both file in the thread. Yes I am a noob to all this, I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.5.

you can just flash the kernel with cwm.
if you really want to use odin, then pda. and that is fine

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 do thank everyone help

[Q] stuck on CWM

Guys, i hope you can help again.
im rooted, running ics by entropy, but i have this annoying issue.
Every time i go to cwm to flash something like beats audio or another modem, i cant get back to my main rom, just keeps rebooting into cwm and even if i select reboot now, just boots again into cwm.
Its annoying because every time i want to install something i have to reinstall the rom from zero.
maybe im missing an application or something.
hope you can help me out.

I too have had this happen, but only when I use adb to reboot into CWM recovery by sending an "adb reboot recovery" to get into recovery. I can make that happen every time, so when running this ICS kernel / recovery, I'm careful to only use the extended power menu or the phone buttons to get to recovery.
Once it happens, the only way to fix in this situation is to re-flash the rom.
Just curious, how are you going into recovery?

Probably related to the same bug in that particular recovery. I may flash CM9 in a little bit to see if I can reproduce that by going from the Rom Manager app. There is an option to get to recovery in the power menu. I'm almost certain that if you use that and/or the phone buttons, you won't have the same issue.
EDIT: I just flashed CM9 to test this, and I can't get the issue to happen when going to recovery from the Rom Manager app. Seems to work like it's supposed to from there. As soon as I issue an "adb reboot recovery", though, the same thing happens: the phone will only reboot to recovery from then on and has to be re-flashed to get to a rom. To be safe with this recovery, though, I'd still suggest only using the option in the power menu or the phone buttons.

YES! I HAVE THE SAME DAMN ISSUE!
Always happens. I have to Odin back to stock then reflash CM9. I don't know how it works from power button but using Rom Manager I get stuck. I "reboot system" now and it gets to Galaxy S/CyanogenMod screen and right back into recovery.

Simple question....when this happens..have you tried taking battery out and wait abt 30=40 to 60 seconds then replace batt and just restart? This happened to me and i did this 2x and bam the rom booted up....fine

[Q] CWM Recovery vs stock recovery

after I flash CWM 6.0.1.2, if I reboot into recovery, the phone goes into Android system recovery. Why is that?
In order to go back to CWM Recovery, I have to go to ROM Manager, flash CWM 6.0.1.2 again, and then reboot into recovery. Once I am in CWM and need to exit (reboot), I get asked the following:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
Yes - Disable recovery flash.
Should I click yes so the phone does not go into Android system recovery? there is a message that says this cannot be undone so I do not want to do something that may screw up my phone.
I am on stock but rooted, of course. Thanks.

Same thing happens to me. Even if I use twrp or cwm touch
