So which is it? If you're always doing Power button > Reboot > Recovery you are booting into the NvFlash'd CWM recovery not ROM Manager

Ohh ok thanks makes sense but what about when I use to be on gb I use to use rom manager

You can also use ROM manager to boot to recovery, the reason people advise against using the app altogether is because the fake flashing that ROM manager does.
ROM manager will boot into nvflash recovery successfully as long as you never flashed the fake recovery via ROM manager.
So again, if you never flashed via ROM manager, then holding power>reboot recovery = going to ROM manager and booting to recovery.

Not that it matters, but I have always flashed both recoveries. It's not that Rom Manager "fake" flashes it, it isn't flashed on a persistent partition that can be reached via button combo. I use Rom Manager and it's "fake" recovery mostly for nandroids. In reality, there's literally 2 separate recoveries, albeit, one is worthless in any "no boot" situation. Other than that, it's fine to flash roms and what not, just always have both, never just R M.

Before I'm pretty sure I downloaded a rom and it didn't have rom manager so I downloaded it from the play store and went into recovery through that and flashed a rom? Or is that normal?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
That's fine, what we're all trying to explain is that if you mess up and your phone won't boot normally, you won't be able to recover it with the Rom Manager recovery since it is only accessible through a working a ROM. This is why we Nvflash it on a persistent partition that can be accessed regardless if you have a working rom or not. There's no difference between the two recoveries, only where they are flashed.

I agree. ROM Manager which should be named ROM Mangler has seriously messed up phones causing its victims many hours of panic and grief. Stay away from it.
Kinda off topic but if rom manager is so bad why is it included with custom roms? One of the first things i do is uninstall it with titanium backup

When trying to update my TF I accidentally flashed an incomplete Rom (got lazy and didn't check MD5...) Anyway, ever since then it ALWAYS boots into CWM (5.8.3.4) If I boot w/Vol DN and let it cold-boot then it will go into a fresh install and setup fine. However, on the next reboot it will go back to CWM 5.8.3.4 I have flashed the newer CWM 6.0.1.4 v2 but it won't "take" the install seems to go fine but it always boots back to the old CWM. I've also flashed other ROMS and they don't "take" either.

Install different recovery... use easy flash and push either TWRP recovery or rogue recovery... personally I prefer TWRP recovery.. once you have a new recovery wipe everything ( internal memory also) and install a better ROM...

Two questions:
1. How do i flash the new touch recovery without using rom manager (.img file from clockworkmod site)?
2. I installed the latest non touch recovery (with rom manager) but it's causing me problems. Every time i install a new rom I can't boot into recovery. I had to use LG flash tool to reinstall the stock v21e gingerbread and start all over again. Then i installed CM10 (which didnt work) and recovery didn't work again so i had to flash with LG flashtool again. Why is this happening?
With Cm10 I also had problem entering recovery, to enter recovery I've had to remove usb cable, then hold power button for 10sec( to have phone completely off) and then hold 3D+vold down+ power. Was releasing power when have backlight and holding buttons until entering recovery. Hope it will help. For me it works.

Have you tried an older recovery? I'm on CWM 5.0.2.0. Installed with Recovery Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23474089
The older recovery works fine, but that's not the point. I cant think of a single reason why is this happening with the newest version.
So does anyone know how to flash those .img files? Maybe from terminal emulator?

Yeah, you need to use Terminal emulator.
Instructions:
1. Put it on the root of the internal sdcard
2. Open Terminal App
3. Run :
Code:
su
Then
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
4. Reboot and now it would work !
^ Don't know why, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it's needed to install the regular non-touch recovery and then the touch one?
Edit: Nope, that wasn't it. Is CWM 6.0.1.9 for our phone broken? I can't get it to work whatever I try (Recovery Manager or flashing thru Terminal). So I got back to CWM 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I managed to get the latest recovery running. But as soon as I install another rom it stops working. Weird.

i have the same problem with my p920, flashing the newest CWM 6.0..1.9 and trying to reboot into it bricks the device...
i wanted to try out CM10, but i'm stucked on the lg logo after flashing it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35439373&postcount=721 )
At first this thread in the wrong section .
Try this (it's toooo easy) . It worked for me (in GB ) :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598320
And about flashing the .img . you can flash the .img with omap4boot when the phone in fastboot mode ( this what you should do with ICS) .
Maybe change the twrp.img or cwm.img with the recovery you want to flash . Maybe I'm not sure .

I had the same problem.
The latest CWM recovery (6.0.1.9) bricked my phone upon restart.
I had to flash a new rom to get it working, tried to entrer CWM recovery and it bricked again.
Finally reverted to stock recovery, i'm thinking about flashing CMW 5 again.
Can someone tell me which is the latest 5 version?
^ 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I couldn't make CWM 6.0.1.9 to work (non-touch and touch). Managed to boot into it temporarely, but that's all.
i am using CWM 6.0.1.9 with no problem. it works fine, also i am using CM10.

I prefer non-touch, I find it more reliable.
If you have any problems with ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
You can not install the CM10 or Jelly Bam
You have the bootloader locked.

Now everything works perfectly.
Hello,
today I tried to put CWM on my old Galaxy fit using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19204364 so then I could upgrade it and then install a ROM, I did the Odin Multidownloader process and it looked like it worked, but I wanted to test it and I didn't know how to use the CWM I just installed, so I went to ROM Manager and from there I tried to do the CWM Recovery option and when it started to reboot, it got like stuck in the Samsung logo and some kind of bootloop, the only thing I can do is press the home-volume up-power button so I can go to the Downloading... screen.
What can I do?
Does anyone know?

I would recommend using download mode and Odin to flash a stock Rom. Once u do that and root ur phone again I suggest getting twrp. Seems to work better for me and easy to install.,

Which version of cwm did you install?
Installing Stock Roms
First, download the stock rom of your choice from samfirmware.com
Then download beni.ops and Odin Multidownloader
Remove the sim card and memory card of your phone, and put it in download mode
Next, run Odin, and connect your phone to your windows computer. Odin should respond as detected. Then, select “Ops” as beni.ops. (Doing this would disable all other fields except “One Package”)
After this, select your desired stock rom in “One Package”.
Do not alter any other option other than those mentioned, let them remain as they are.
Make sure that the color of “COM PORT MAPPING” is yellow, and then click “Start”.
Odin will start giving different responses, and the timer in Odin would also start…now all you have to do is wait till Odin completes flashing (You will get a message “Pass”, usually within 10 minutes)
Note: Do not disconnect you phone while the process is on, and till you get that “Pass” message.
After this, it is optional but advised that you reboot into recovery mode and wipe data, otherwise you *may* face bootloops.[/list]

Question 1: can you enter recovery!? By holding power + home buttons.
Question 2: are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM from the Samsung ROMs website (the correct ROM means the latest link from your carrier).
Edit: don't forget to take out the USB cable after the flashing is done.
Depending on your answer:
Try to redo the procedure without installing custom recovery (just flash thru download mode via Odin the downloaded ROM for your device) and see if it boots (first boot takes a long time so just wait.
If you're trying to install ONLY the cwm recovery be sure you are getting the one meant for beni (other will not work).

I can make it through the Downloading page, I cant get into recovery mode and if I do the ODIN CWM process again I can get into the original rom, but when I try to reboot, it gets into the bootloop, what do I do?
I wasn't able to download the stock rom from Sammobile.... :crying:

Here you can get stock ROM :

Be sure you follow the instructions in Odin.
Are you sure you can't get in recovery with home + power!? Seems strange. Try to reinstall CWM recovery thru download mode then try to get into recovery mode. You can find more than five Odin flash able recoveries in XDA for fit. Try all.
Good luck!

That's why seems odd he can't get in recovery mode. From what I understand:
1. He flashed stock ROM (or he tried to)
2. Then he tried to flash CWM recovery and now gets bootloop at Samsung screen.
Actually this happened to me once and I had to reflash stock ROM first then cwm recovery thru Odin.

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.
If you want a different ROM (cm7 - cm10.2) flash an older custom recovery and do the same as above.
Flashing is simple and practice makes it perfect. After all you have a Fit for spare.
Remember that different ROMs might have different flashing instructions so ALWAYS read the OP in the ROMs thread.
Enjoy!

Have you installed your ROM using 6045 cwm recovery!? Or you installed the 6045 recovery after installing ROM!?
Yajnab says:
Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up
So, honestly I didn't tried to install other rom than cm11 on this recovery.

hello guys
i installed cm11 through one click installer had cwm on it now suddenly after reboot its taking me to simple recovery?!?
dont know what happened..need help
in my rom manager app its still showing current recovery as cwm 6.0.4.5 but when i reboot to recovery it takes me to simple recovery
pls help!
ok edit : when i go to recovery from rom manager app it takes me to cwm but when i do it manually ( advanced power button and volume + power button) it takes me to simple?
edit again : when i click on install from sd card (to install m9) it takes me back to simple recovery even from within rom manager??
first off, get rid of rom manager. itll has so many issues and will cause you many headaches. what you did first is not flash a recovery to your device, you just booted it. thats only for a one time use. you need to flash the custom recovery to have it permanently on your phone.
Reflash your recovery. And I recommend TWRP. I hear complaints ALL the time with CWR due to bugs but never TWRP. I've used CWR in the past on my Droid X. But I've since gone TWRP and I'm never looking back.

use the flashify app, its free, and can be used to flash other things besides a recovery. its a great app. you dont need rom manager to get into a recovery ever. if you press the power button(long), youll get a menu, press reboot. then youll get 3 more option, reboot/recovery/bootloader, press recovery(after you use flashify to flash your recovery).
I recommended Rom Installer over Flashify. It will download your recovery for you and keep it up to date. It will provide ROM updates. Also you can create a queue of zips to flash before you reboot. Then it flashes them automatically. It's a really good app. Way better then ROM Manager. Made by Jrummy so you know it's good . Not trying to bash @simms22. It's just my preferred app.

I recommended Rom Installer over Flashify. It will download your recovery for you and keep it up to date. It will provide ROM updates. Also you can create a queue of zips to flash before you reboot. Then it flashes them automatically. It's a really good app. Way better then ROM Manager. Made by Jrummy so you know it's good . Not trying to bash @simms22. It's just my preferred app.

in my rom manager app its still showing current recovery as cwm 6.0.4.5 but when i reboot to recovery it takes me to simple recovery
when i go to recovery from rom manager app it takes me to cwm but when i do it manually ( advanced power button and volume + power button) it takes me to simple?
will installing twrp over cwm cause any problems?

it wont cause any problems, and please get rid of rom manager. really, it WILL cause you more headaches than its worth, and it already has.

No. UNINSTALL ROM Manager now please. It's causing issues. Custom recoveries replace stock ones. Flash TWRP or CWR using the methods we suggested.

@ayush88 Use root Checker app to make sure you have root. That could explain why you have recovery issues
