Which phone are u using? Did u obtain root? Do you have recovery installed?
If you do, I recommend you to use recovery to flash the rom.
I am using the droid 3 and yes I have root access. And im not sure about the. Recovery I am new to this stuff. I do have something called clockwork recovery. I even tried using rom toolbox an rom manager. But for some reason after I download a rom from either app it will ask if I want to boot into recovery I will push ok but it just reboots my phone shouldn't it boot me into recover?

If you have Clockwork, then you have recovery installed.
I've never use rom manager, instead, I BOOT into recovery and flash everything from there.
If you don't know how to boot into it, download this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
Then choose recovery. You MUST put the rom in the root of your SD card to flash it, not inside a folder.
What does that mean root of your sd card I haven't read about what that is or how to do that?

The issue is your using a recovery that doesn't allow for non official signed roms to be flashed.

Hey man, are you successfully booting in to CWM recovery, or are you getting the Samsung recovery screen?
It boots me into thesamsung recovery screen, not cwm. Thamx for the reply.

In that case, you'll need a modified 3e file in order to get CWM up and running instead of Samsung recovery: Modified 3e Tutorial
I tried the modified 3 e file. I renamed it and and copied it to the root of the sd card.. Reboot into recovery and selected reinstalled packages once.. It gave me the error of saying the file does not exist on mnt/internal_sd card selected reinstall packages and same error. No luck here been trying it for days. Thnx for the reply.

Find and follow the ultimate unbrick instructions. It'll get you rooted and have cwm.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
are you using Rom manager to get CWM
if so, i have noticed that i have the same problem unless i do everything twice, including the install CWM portion.
i have install CWM 2 times, the reboot into recovery and install packages 2 times to get to the CWM Recovery.
otherwise yes i would say just flash the Ultimate Unbrick and get into it that way.
I did use ultimate unbrick.. supposedly to go back to stock. Some file from serendipity infused rom are still on my phones, cant get rid of it. And now the base is uckd5.. what dies that mean. I did partition when doing ultimate unbrick.. and do I have to root again? Confused here. Thanks for the reply.

Where did you actually get the Serendipity ROM? It's not showing up for me in the ROM downloads of CWM.

.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........
You forgot to adjust the permissions of your new recovery file.
then dont use the Ultimate Unbrick, use another back to stock method. i use gtg's other Md5sum with odin to flash back to stock after i use the Ultimate unbrick because the ultimate unbrick does not allow unsigned packages, so i run the Ultimate then i Run his other Back to stock to get past the unsigned error and Flash the Update.Zip that Rom manager makes to get into CWM......
after that i just WIPE and FLASH like crazy........lol
if i get hung up i just rinse and re-use.

not to jack the thread, but what does this mean? would that let me get past the my second step of flashing a different stock md5sum through odin. so i can past the unsigned error?
or is that something else?

you just go to install zip from SD card, then select choose zip (maybe those are in reverse order - i'm not in recovery right now, so this is just from memory, but you should get the gist), then find where you saved the serendipity zip on your SD card, select it, go to yes... and that should be it, assuming you are coming from stock froyo.
I went to install zip from sd card but I dont see the S7 zip file. I did copy it to the root of the sd card cuz when I reboot back to system I see that its there but not when I try to install it from sd card in cwm. Hmmm anyone.. Help.

Ok.. I tried stalling the S7 rom thru vwm (instal from sd card but got an error. Finding update package..
Opening update package...
E: cant open /sdcard external-sd/S7.Infuse 8.26 zip.

Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong? Anyone? If I reboot into recovery I still cant find S7 Infuse zip. I know its there but doesnt show up. All I see is update.zip

Hey. So I rooted my T-Mobile SGS 4G (stock 2.2 firmware) with SuperOneClick. That was super easy, I tested it out with a few utilities and I definitely have root.
So I went into rom manager and pushed the button to flash clockwork mod. It asked me for superuser status, said it was successful, but then it boots into the stock samsung recovery. I've tried this several times and I always have the same result. I'm sorry if there's an answer on this already but I'll be damned if I could figure out how to search for it without coming up with a bunch of unrelated problems.
Thanks!
Try going into clockwork and choosing boot to recovery then after that if it goes into stock recovery choose reinstall packages sometimes you have to choose reinstall twice. That's how I got mine into cwm first time
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Oh no that's the problem, I can't get clockwork to boot. No matter how many times I install it using the installer inside rom manager, the stock recovery boots up.
ROM MANAGER DOES NOT WORK. USE KRYLONS CWM FINAL IN THE DEV SECTION.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Yea I no, but wen u boot into it you get the stock 3e recovery and there is an option to reinstall packages
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
You need to download krylons modified recovery.bin file and use a file explorer app to push the file to system/bin. You need to also have the file update.zip on the root of your SD card. Then you boot into stock recovery and choose reinstall packages. This will boot you into cwm.

Just received my Infuse 4G and I think I rooted it, but I can't bring up the regular recovery menu (install zip from SD card, etc.). I have Superuser and ROM Manager, but when I reboot into recovery, the standard menu does not show up but another one with totally different choices. By the way, when I installed CWM it didn't have the Infuse as a choice for devices. Did I skip a step in the rooting process?
Choose i9000 in Clockwork.

It makes an update zip.... You take it and put it in the sd root after you rename it update.zip. Then you have to have a modded 3e recovery file that you replace the original with in system/bin/. Then go into recovery, reinstall packages. Bam, clockwork.

Are you stock rooted? or custom ROM?
If you are rooted use SGS kernal flasher and flash a custom kernal that will give you recovery easiest way i think

Or Odin/Heimdall a custom kernel in download mode - don't even need root for that.
And don't use ROM Manager - it just causes problems on our devices since it insists on using a crippled recovery that isn't compatible with Voodoo Lagfix.

It's stock rooted.
After rooting and using rom manager to cwm "choosed i9000"
after rebooting I cant find install zip
when i tried to cwm by replacing the update file in sd card it gets some error
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

You must install the custom Recovery. Follow steps below.
When you reach to the 'replacing' recovery file, make sure you delete the old one. When your in recovery mode, make sure you install packages twice before you see CWM recovery.

You need to pay for the updated root explore. I had that same issue where changes did not take affect. I was going out of my mind.
Once I paid for it, I was relieved that it took the changes and was able to put custom clockwork mod recovery.

Did you mean CWM recovery? I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881. Both methods work for me. The zip file for the rom must be put it in INTERNAL SD.

Do not use rom manager for anything ....except to flash to clockworkmod....the easiest way is to use Odin to flash community kernel that has CWM injected into it then flash away....rom manager is a bootloop waiting to happen...
