Try flashing clockwork mod recovery again. Used to do this on my Vibrant as well.
EDIT: Just saw your post above... never seen that error. Can't help but go into the Vibrant sub section and you're sure to get help there.

I had issues flashing CWM to a motorola back a few years ago, had to revert to stock and re-root to resolve. Recently flash to Samsung galaxy nexus. Only would go into clockwork mod the first time rebooting after each flash till I deleted a file in the system folder. (/system/recovery-from-boot.p file) Seemed that file was causing the error no issue since. Were you ever able to boot to CWM?

Look for the AIO Vibrant Toolbox.
It has everything you need and will help you out tremendously.

When I first rooted I had a similar problem. Clockwork just kept reverting to stock. I re-downloaded the flashable zip, reflashed, and rebooted to recovery until CWM came up. Then I installed Bionix. It's stuck since then. Well, until I ODINed the GB bootloader on.

Keep trying good luck

I am completely stuck. My rom manager wont boot into recovery and I keep getting the same error when I click reinstall packages.

[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.

Thanks a lot hcyplr29 and Presbycusis.
I use darkside's flash and then reload stock.
Everything is fine now.

Glad to hear that. I swear by darkside between ROMS.

Yah....Darkside.Wipe is killer. Glad to hear your back in action. It is confusing at first getting OS version, kernel, and modem all strait. It is a good learning experience.

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

I would just go back to 5.8. It's much better for me. Plus it works far better for ics builds. But yeah, you can use your buttons again for that old ass version you got now

Bootloop after ICS flash

Just flashed ICS one click to my infuse that was rooted and running the last Zeus ROM. Ultimate goal was rooted jellybean, but thought I had to have ICS rom to proceed. Now, stuck on "Galaxy S cyanogen(mod)". I can boot into recovery, but nothing there to restore to. I have cleared everything I can from recovery mode, (but not done the factory restore yet). It is CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4. I can also boot into download mode, and have tried to reflash ICS, but same results. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Wipe everything and Flash the ROM one more time.

did you double flash? Coming from gb to ics requires a double flash. Hanging at galaxy s screen us normal. from galaxy s screen you need to go back to recovery and flash again.
Sent from a de-FUNKed Infuse

Definitely double flash ICS if you haven't already. If it still doesnt work, boot into download mode and flash other Gingerbread rom then start the process over. I had a similar problem and started a thread (link can be found on qkster's post above) and it turned out that the initial Gingerbread rom might have interrupted the boot process. So give other gingerbread roms a try if you're still stuck after double flashing.

Stuck on bootloop from Clockworkmod 5.8.4.9

PLEASE HELP!! I have successfully rooted the device and was doing ok after flashing CWmod recovery 6.0.1 through E-Z recovery app and running Liquid Rom. I managed to be dumb enough to flash CWMod version 5.8.4.9 through Rom manager and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck in boot loop. I am able to get into CWMod 5.8.4.9 but I cannot restore my backup anymore. I can also data wipe and install a new rom, but it all just keeps going into bootloop and I cannot get past the samsung custom unlock screen. It first flashed that, then the android man pops up on the next screen like its loading something and then just keeps looping through the process. I did not use ODIN for any of this process and I dont know how to get myself back tothe point where I can reboot. Any help would be tremendously appreciated, because I'm dead stuck and in a panic. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Happend to me last night...
I made the same mistake... DO NOT download any recoveries from ROM manager. I found out the hard way... So the problem now is your phone is stuck using the recovery you downloaded. I am not sure of a quick way using that recovery if you can revert back but... My solution got me where I needed to be in order to get going again.
I had to use Odin to root to stock ROM. Yes when you wipe it will destroy your data but not your pictures, downloaded files, and other files you put on there. When I re-rooted with stock all my stuff for CM10, gapps, and the kexec CWM was there.
So use this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1
Section 1!!!!! And follow the steps EXACTLY the way it says to.

This is why i have never liked rom manager...

The best solution for us to flash recoveries is ez recovery free from the market. I would use this going forward once you Odin back to stock

[Q] Blank screen after Nandroid Restore

I have Verizons S3. I recently rooted and unlocked the bootloader and have TWRP recovery. I was on 4.1 JB. I made a Nandroid Backup of System and Data. I then flashed the CM10.1 Monthly ROM, and all seemed to be working fine. However, I was having some issues with my app backups and the weird "emulated" directory structure. So I decided to go back to my Nandroid Backup and start over.
I went into TWRP, did a factory reset, cleared System Data, cache/dvalick cache, then I restored the Nandroid Backup (system and data). TWRP said it was successful and asked to reboot. When I did, the Samsung logo flashes, and then the screen stays black. I tried going back into recovery, but it won't let me. I can get to download though.
I think I'm going to have to use Odin to reflash a ROM as I can't get into recovery, right? But I'm also trying to understand what I did wrong. Did I forget a step? Did it have something to do with differences between 4.1 and 4.2? I'm new to this, and have searched the forums but can't find anything that answers my questions specifically. I appreciate the help.

You're supposed to backup "boot.img" as well. I'm pretty sure boot.img is the kernel which you failed to backup. The phone won't boot into your nandroid because the kernel wasn't restored as well. In TWRP: system, data, and boot are all supposed to be backed up simultaneously if you want to restore the entire nandroid. Odin flash and make sure to do a proper nandroid with all three that I listed.

Ah, perhaps that "boot" checkbox wasn't check. =P So basically the CM10.1 boot.img is still there, but now the wrong ROM is there so it won't boot? Can I just flash the boot.img with Odin now, or will I need to do a full ROM flash?

No, when I do the button combo for recovery, the word "Samsung" flashes, then "Galaxy S3" logo, but after that nothing...just blank screen. I was on stock Verizon s3 before this, so I guess I need to put that kernel back on the phone? Is the kernel the same as the bootloader? Can I use the unlocked bootloader referenced in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114?

So, I tried using Odin to flash back the stock JB 4.1.1 kernel, which should have matched my Nandroid backup, but then I got an unlocked padlock on my splash screen and then the yellow triangle. blah. so i flashed a stock no wipe rom and that got me back into touchwiz, but I cant get into recovery no matter what i do. And I still have the padlock. I think I may need to do a stock full wipe rom?

If you flashed a fully stock rom then you need to root, unlock, and install your custom recovery again.

Ok, so I finally got time to try this again after flashing back to (what I thought) was stock Jelly Bean 4.1. I was following the directions here in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
I get the VRALEC bootchain fine, phone reboots and all seems well. I got to flash TWRP 2.4, do a batter pull, and when I try to boot into recovery mode suddenly there is the Samsung splash screen with an unlocked padlock on it. Then the screen goes black and doesn't go into recovery. When I release the buttons, the phone then boots into the OS. I can still get to the download mode, but for some reason I can't get into a custom recovery. Any help on this? Please?
I used this file to wipe my phone back to stock JB: COMBINATION_I535VRBLK3_I535VZWBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Thanks for the assistance. =)

Redo step three like the directions state.
Edit : In that thread, some folks even suggest waiting 5-10 mins after its successfully flashed before booting into recovery.

Forgot to followup here, but I got it working. I left my phone plugged in after flashing the recovery for like 15 minutes. I also released the power button on trying to boot into recovery once the Samsung logo appeared. I finally got into recovery and was so happy. Thanks for the help!
