Are you talking about cwm(orange or red) or 3e recovery(blue & yellow). If your trying to get to recovery with cwm you need to Odin the modded kg4 kernel(yes it works with kh1). Until you do that then you will only get 3e recovery.
To get to recovery hold volume up and down and power till the first splash screen appears then release. Hope this helps you
***Edit***: you need to flash drhonks kernel. Sounds like somthing didnt take.

cwm - orange
and that's the thing, when i hold volume up & down with power key, it goes to the splash screen then it goes no where. if i let it go it stays in the first splash screen, if i keep holding it, it loops. the only way to get the phone started is to touch the home key after that first splash screen
odin.. uhoh

Yea I would suggest odining the kg4 leak. It sound like you bootloaders are messed up. Odin will pick it up right?

I used sgs kernel flasher and flashed kernel and it restored my voodoo red cwm. I lost recovery as well after flashing this. That's what happens when u don't read lol.

I odined, a kd1 rom... I'm back to stock froyo, kinda....
Also, how do you flash .rar files using odin? Can you? I haven't found any .tar kg4 roms
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk

extract the far, in there you will find some tars. The first one which is 290+ mbs, is the one that you put in the "PDA" section. The one that has "CSC" somewhere within the title is put in the CSC section, the one with "Phone" is put in it's corresponding section. the .pit file is put in the top left pit section. Make sure you have the samsung drivers. If you don't, you are A, either nothing is going to happen, or B, you will end up with a 600 dollar brick.
So flash up, Then flash the GB voodoo kernel.tar in the PDA section.
Then go to cwm, flash what you want to flash make sure it has the GB voodoo kernel in it as well, then go to the voodoo section of recovery, disable everything, then reboot. You will have recovery on GB

[Q] How to get Red CWM

I was running Infused 2.2.3 for the longest time and when I always went into recovery it was red.
Well, I was switching roms and got a hiccup in the install and had to revert back to stock using odin and gtg unbrick.
Once I was back to stock froyo, I rooted, replaced the recovery.bin file with the no sig file and then went into rom manager and got cwm, rebooted, reinstalled packages, etc...
Well I have cwm, but when I get into it, its green lettering...not red.
Only reason I ask is because just about everywhere I see, they say get into red.
Any ideas on how I can get red installed?
thanks

When in cwm, choose to install zip from SD card and go all the way to bottom and select "update.zip" and if it doesn't reboot, select reboot now and it should boot into Red CWM. That might do it i think

Flash Entropy's daily driver kernel. You'll get red CWM and voodoo lagfix. Great kernel by the way.

thanks, I will prob have a rom with a stock kernel...if thats the case, can I flash entropys kernel (which is my choice one on custom roms) through odin in the pda slot?
thanks for the help.
I will only want to flash a custom kernel to get root, then back to stock because the rom I will be running is based on one of the newer leaks, and I want video.

Well you need to have a kernel with voodoo enabled like Entropy's or you can't get red cwm. The stock leaks HAVE to have a stock kernel for video to work however. Oh, and yes you can. You can do that or through SGS Kernel Flasher on the market. What do you need red for anyway?

Man you're fast. I just got the leak, didn't even have time to uncompress it.

Excellent. So if we flash the stock kernel and get video working again, what are we losing in the process? Sorry if this is a noobish question, I'm just now switching from galnet MIUI.

Shouldnt lose anything...and you will keep root also...

You gain video and hdmi back. You may have to make a slight change to one of the void files if you lose access to your CD card.

I see. Thank you for the help! I was told about this file before, but when I tried editing it last time I messed it up... don't you edit the last value to a different number or something? Do you know what number that is? Thank you guys for the help, I really do appreciate it, what with all these awesome leaks. :]

You will also lose your voodoo filesystem optimizations, init scripting support and the charginghacks/undervolt capabilities (if you like Entropy's kernel).

Well I enjoyed it for 5 minutes before going back to cm7 with thunder script but I still appericate the upload as something different always looking for my next rom fix.

If you have flashed the stock kernel and want external SD: In vold.fstab, in the line that starts with dev_mount sdcard1, change from mmc2 to mmc1

I feel pretty dumb right now. I flashed the leak and then uses sgs kernel flasher to flash the stock kernel and my phone is now stuck at the Samsung splash screen upon reboot. I let it sit there for about 10 minutes. Now, I can't even get back to recovery mode. Could someone provide some advice?

Did u pull the zimage out of the rar fike? or did you flash the rar file?? i posted in op to unpack the zimage from the rar file...i know it works becaise i flashed the stock kernel and am runni.g it now....running great actually

Don't you have to convert you file system back before flashing the stock rom?

Yes, I unpacked the zimage file from the .rar and sgs kernel flasher rebooted the phone automatically after applying it.

Did you disable voodoo lagfix in recovery before flashing the stock kernel? Not doing that can cause issues, if I'm understanding this correctly.

You dont have to disable voodoo....all i did was flash thru sgs and it booted up fine...if you are stuck however then disabling voodoo might fix your problem

No, I don't believe I had any lagfixes.
I was running stock froyo with only root and cwm installed
I downloaded the .zip for the leak
booted into recovery and wiped data/cache/dalvik
flashed the leak
phone booted up fine
installed sgs kernel flasher from the market
extracted zimage file from the .rar in the op
used sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel
phone rebooted and now stuck at samsung screen
I've pulled the battery and then tried to reenter recovery mode, but no dice
I am going to try unbrick through download mode and heimdal

Ok..well i didnt know you were coming from froyo...i dont know how flashing this from froyo would work since i cant even remember when i ran froyo last. I came from my catyrom....might need to be on gingerbread with gingerbread bootloaders ...

[Q] Stuck on "Performing factory data reset"

I removed the ICS build and use ODIN to return back to stock build.
Still having some problem so i did a data reset. It keep getting stuck there and i already done it three times.
Any suggestions?

So you flashed GB stock.tar through Odin? Do you mean factory/data reset in clockwork recovery? Flashing back to stock should take away your root so you would have to flash CWM again, make a nandroid backup, and flash superuser zip again.
What problems where you having before and after the ICS build?
Explain a bit further exactly what you did.

I installed STOCK Tar using ODIN.
It is booting up fine except i keep getting errors like "android.process.acore" has stopped unexpectedly. Most of the android apps is not working, like phone, contacts, calendars, etc.
I try to do a factory reset and it keep stopping halfway and hangs.

Your going to have to flash the kj2 modem. I had the same problem. I saw that the ucalc4 was still there, its on its own partition so it doesn't get changed when you flash stock tar. What I did...
1. Flash cwm in Odin
2. Boot into cwm (do backup)
3. Flash kj2 modem (I did it twice)
4. Reboot
5. Check baseband (should be uckj2)
This made the FC's go away. It seemed to me that the stock tar doesn't like that baseband, I can't explain why though. Didn't make sense to me but I fixed it. Also I found the ICS leak doesn't like stock recovery. Fyi

Little bit lost here.
I already flash it twice using ODIN and using the uckj2 build.

Build is one thing, baseband is different. When you flash stock your build will be uckj2, you say your on it. OK good. Now check your baseband, will probably still be the ICS baseband ucalc4, that is your modem. You need to flash the uckj2 modem in cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20157930
Once you flash that your baseband will be uckj2. That should fix your fc's. Did for me. If not, you may need to try something else which I will explain if need be that will clean things up.

OK. What you need to do then is clean things up. There are two ways that I use but I prefer #1.
1. Flash darkside superwipe in cwm. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
OR
2. Flash stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
Then you can cwm, root, flash anything you want.

basically those fc's were becuz the partition table needs to be reset after flashing ics to go back to gb. Darkside does this.

[Q] download mode not working...

I tried searching, but the search is down?
I have spent several hours looking.
I used odin (phone went into download mode without issue) to put my phone back to stock so I could get the ota update.
Went back into download mode with Odin to install CWM, this "passed" and after a restart my phone went into samsung recovery, not CWM.
Now my phone will not go into download mode? I tried different cable, ports, etc.
any help?

so what is it doing since it's not going into download mode.

it wouldn't do anything, I finally reinstalled the drivers and after holding down the power and volume - let go... nothing! push the volume - twice and it went into download mode. Odin recognizes it and goes through the motion, but the phone has a AX_timeout in red at the top left corner of the screen?
Odin continues and say's passed, but when I try to reboot into CWM it hangs on the samsung logo.
It will not boot into recovery, but it will start the phone and everything seems to work.
im using odin 1.83 / windows 7 64bit.

Remove the battery, put the phone in download mode, put the battery back in, and flash CWM. Before you fully boot the OS, flash a custom kernel. If you don't flash a custom kernel, the default kernel will overwrite CWM with the default recovery.

If you happen to flash a ROM that doesn't include the script that the kernel calls for the overwrite, then you could have ended up with CWM on a stock kernel.

There's a script, can't remember where it's at, that is run at boot to replace the recovery. If that script is not there, it doesn't get replaced. All custom roms have it removed.

There is. You can download the Superuser CWM to your phone, flash CWM, boot immediately to CWM (don't let it boot normally), flash Superuser, and reboot.
At that point, if you desire, you can delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and reflash CWM if you want to keep it.
