[Q] Booting into CWM with Samsung Fascinate

I flashed a recovery with odin, and rooted my phone. However, I can't get it boot into CWM recovery. ROM Manager says I have CWM 3.0.0.8, however whenever I reboot into recovery it opens "Android System Recovery <3e>" in blue lettering.
Any insight?

same here.

Hi. Did you boot into stock ROM after flashing? If so, that's why you lost everything. If I were you, and I was about a year ago, I would go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
P.S. don't use ROM manager to flash anything. Bad things usually happen

Cannot reboot system from Clockworkmod Recovery

Hello, so I tried to back up my system via Nandroid in CWM recoveryto my external sd card. When the process was finished I clicked on reboot system now so I could continue my preparation for flashing a rom. It showed the Samsung Logo and the Splashscreen, but then enters the CWM recovery. I also tried pulling out the battery and then pushing the power button, but it still boots into CWM recovery. Any help? It looks like my phone got messed up and I can only use it in CWM recovery. Help is much appreciated.

Maybe Odin back to a stick firmware if you can get into download mode.

Installing CWR - Not working

Hi All,
I've looked all around for the answer to this and am thoroughly lost. I have the Verizon Galaxy S3 with VRALHE. I rooted it, then used EZ-Unlock 1.2 to unlock the phone, then installed Rom manager and flashed CWR. It says it installed 6.0.1.2 but when I try and go into recovery it only goes into Android Recovery. If I flash CWR and right away click the boot into CWR button it seems to go but after that it will only go into Android Recover both via Rom manager and holding Volume Up, Power and Home. Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks for your help!

If it does go into cwm the first time then after that stock there are two files you need to erase that basically reinstall the stock recovery on reboot. I can't recall them, but you could probably search here and find them. Or the easier way is busy flash a custom ROM n that first boot into cwm. By the way ez recovery is better for installing our recoveries, give it a shot.... It may sick without the extra stuff I just told you.

Anyone know where to look into about the files that need to be deleted? I'm not finding much. EZ recovery worked the first reboot but returned to Android recovery after a reboot.

I would recommend re-flashing Clockworkmod Recovery from EZ recovery, then using EZ recovery to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery, after your are in Clockworkmod Recovery select the "Reboot system" option, you should then be asked if you want to erase two files to make Clockworkmod Recovery stick permanently (At least until you flash a different recovery) select the "Yes" option, then after it has completed that task the phone should reboot, while it is rebooting boot into recovery and you should find that Clockworkmod Recovery is still installed.

I like to help, but Google stuff. This is what you would have found as the second result
/system/recovery-from-boot.p*
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

So to confirm to everyone, Deleting the 2 files above does work! So delete the files then re-flash CWR and restart that's it!
I wanted to thank everyone for the help!

Same problem but a little different

I have the same problem sorta, my phone instead of going into CWR it goes into Android system Recovery, and it asks me for an update, I was trying to root my phone but it won't even let me go into recovery so I can root it. Do you know why it's asking me this? Also idk if this helps but the android dude is in the background with an open stomach and a triangle and an exclamation mark in it. Hope my details were helpful, thanks.

What rooting guide did you follow? Did you flash Clockworkmod Recovery yet? If you can provide me with this information I can try help you further. If you haven't flashed Clockworkmod Recovery yet then you will be presented with the normal stock Android recovery system that you described.

Ummm... You do not necessarily go into recovery to root it. Have you installed and used Odin through your PC? You say you are trying to root your phone, so before you get ahead of yourself trying to flash recoveries I recommend reading up a little bit, it is very important you follow directions specifically or you will brick your device....

There is even a video watch it while you root your phone, and pause along with it.
If you have already done some of this, and done any of it wrong there are steps to recover through Odin.

[Q] Unable to enter the CWM Recovery mode

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my Galaxy Tab 2 P3110 , then installed CWM, and then went on to install the Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3. Installation was succesful .I then used the tablet for about 5-6 hrs before i restarted it. Now the tablet is stuck showing the Cyanogen logo. I have waited for an hour and still nothing happened.
When i tried to enter the CWM recovery mode, i end up getting the ODIN screen or the stock recovery mode.
Any ideas as to how i can resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Does it bootloop or just stick at boot animation?
If it's stuck at animation you may be able to adb push recovery.

It just stuck at animation.

I don't know the Windows process of an adb flash of recovery.
You can also try to flash it with odin

I tried the ODIN method. I first downloaded the stock rom and then used ODIN to flash it. It says Pass in the ODIN App but when the device reboots, i still get the cyanogen logo which goes on forever..!!

I had the same issue with being stuck at the cyanogenmod boot animation. I went back into recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset. Once I did that, I flashed the .zip file from my sdcard and it worked fine. As far as your installation of CWM, you must have not installed it correctly. I use Philz Touch Recovery for my P5113.
