stupid noob clockwork questions

I know this is very basic, but I rooted the phone and now have to put clockwork on the phone. so the question is, do i use the one click clockwork thing?
what about the rom manager version, can you flash that with a rooted system through normal recovery? or is it like no matter what I need 1 click clockwork on the phone before putting on a kernal that will have clockwork in it?

As of last night there is a shortcut now available.

Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.

Go to this thread and download the .zip of the ClockworkMod kernel. Rename the file "update.zip" and place it at the root of your SD card. Reboot into stock recovery by turning off the phone and then hold volume down/camera/power. There should be an option to install update.zip - do that. Now you can reboot the phone and you should have the ClockworkMod kernel installed. Go to the market and download ROM Manager. Open it up and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. After the file is downloaded select Reboot into Recovery. Your phone should reboot and automatically install Clockwork. Done.
From my understanding the .zip is signed so this should work, although I used a different method as I already had the old Clockwork Recovery installed when I installed the ClockworkMod kernel.

I think that you need either a custom recovery or use redbend ua to flash- the true stock recovery will not work as it is not signed by samsung etc

[Q] Need some help!!

Im trying to flash the Clockwork Recovery mod to my sidekick but every time I boot in recovery I keep getting the stock recovery screen. First of all I rooted my phone using the latest version of SuperOneclick Root. Once the phone was rooted I installed both root explorer and rom manager.
I downloaded the modified binary recovery file and replaced it in system/bin using Root Explorer. I used Rom manager to flash the CWM and it supposedly intalled it (it says version 4.0.0.2). I tried to reboot on recovery but it doesnt boot the CWM recovery screen. I the tried donwloading the CWM and placing the update.zip file in the root of my SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and selecte reintall packages and i get the following:
E: signature verification failed.. installation aborted?
Im guessing its the binary recovery file that's causing the problem but I've tried replacing the file again and it wont work. Anyway, does anyone have any idea whats going on and how I can successfully install the clockwork recovery mod??

Yes that would say that it isn't using the correct modded recovery binary. use my modded oneclickroot script to push the correct recovery and update, and it should work.

Thank you so much it worked like a charm!! One question, every time I boot in recovery now, it boots in the stock recovery. In order to boot CWM i have to select reinstall packages every time is this normal??

Currently that's normal. I've got the same thing on mine.

Yes that CWM is a fake flash and doesn't actually replace your stock recovery so you would have to reinstall packages everytime, unless you flash bali kernel which has the red CWM that replaces the stock recovery when you boot into recovery mode

EDIT: sniped by ayoteddy.
That is normal, as that script uses the "fake flash" instead of having CWM built into the kernel.
A fake flash technique uses a modded recovery binary that doesn't check for signature verification, allowing us to boot into CWM from a stock looking recovery, even on a stock kernel.
In order to have recovery boot straight to CWM, you need to have it built into the kernel, which currently only exists on the Bali kernel (as there's no need to build it for another kernel).

[Q] Couldn't find this one either...

Does TWRP recovery for the One S (S4) T-Mo require me to flash a seperate boot.img when I flash a rom, say Trickdroid v8.0? I want to flash either CM10 or Trickdroid but I'm not sure if TWRP will automatically access the boot.img in the ROM.zip. Any help would be greatly appreciated:fingers-crossed:

try just flashing the .zip and if it doesn't work then boot back into recovery and wipe then boot into bootloader -> fastboot, extract the files from the .zip on your computer, then flash the boot.img manually through fastboot, then boot into recovery and install the .zip. trial and error. it's how we learn
p.s. i know that cwm recovery automatically flashes the boot.img but twrp might not

TWRP Recovery to CWM Recovery

Hey all,
Is there anyway I can switch from my TRP recovery to a CWM recovery?

@RiceydDr0id.... Unless I'm missing something here, surely all you have to do is download the latest CWM Recovery then use TWRP to install it.

Just flash CWM as you flashed TWRP.

What makes a custom recovery stay?

Hi,
According to many articles I've read, stock Android rewrites the recovery partition with a stock recovery image at each boot. So to make a custom recovery stay we're asked to remove a file called "recovery-from-boot.p" in /system which does work.
But WugFresh's Nexus Toolkit flashes a file called "perm-recovery-signed.zip" to make it say. And to revert to stock recovery, it downloads and flashes the stock recovery image and then flashes a file called "undo-perm-recovery-signed.zip".
I'd have guessed just flashing the zip would make the ROM replace the Custom Recovery with the Stock version. Why does it flash the recovery? What do these files do?
Clarification is appreciated.
Thanks.
