The picture isnt showing....
But ur recovery may need to be updated.
Can u flash one of ur backups?
If so, boot up and update ur recovery.
Then just make sure u have correct ROM version for ur phone.
I hope that helps.

There I fixed the picture, but no I cant flash any of my backups because I deleted them for some reason some earlier backup was not working and the second one I delete it by accident. And the roms form my cell I have been getting the right ones from nexusshacks.com and cyanogen website. I was thinking in something more like pushing the rom thru a computers comand prompt thast my next step.

I found some tutorial in order to push the rom with command prompt but it's not working neither. does any of you know why not or if I'm doing something wrong here the link of the tutorial and at the end I posted whats what the command prompt came up with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

Do you consider updating your recovery and rom?

My next step will be using the odin called tool for restoring everything. I'll let you know how it goes.

Problems Getting Clockwork To Run - Android System Recovery Overriding

Hi All,
I've been reading this forum for a good few days now as I am trying to get my Kyros functioning the way I need it to. However, I've run into a few problems and am not 100% sure as to what to do. Before I go on, I'm not very techy, so I would be very greatful if replies could be as straight forward as possible, without much jargon as that really loses me
First off, we've just managed to install the windows and ADB drives. I'm following all the instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858952. That took some hacks our side, but is now working.
I'm pretty stuck on the clockwork reboot though. Again, followed the instructions from the link above. When it initially rebooted, it went straight into the Android System Recovery mode (the robot with the triangle opening screen.) I've tried it over and over, following the directions exactly as explained in the link, but all I'm getting is the generic Androis system recov.
The Recovery zip file is on my SD card. Do I need to unzip it to get the recovery.img to show? Is that something that I'm doing wrong? I also updated the OS (I guess) from the coby site before I started working on these other changes.
So basically, this is the issue right now. Trying to get the clockwork to run and all I'm getting is the android system...and that's when it doesn't just reboot back to the home screen directly.
Any advice would be great. Thanks
And out of the blue, after an hour of angry TV watching, it's now worked. I can't tell you what I did differently as I followed all the same steps as before. Must just have been lucky I guess.
I am having the same issue, and i tried to unzip the update.zip but i boot back to the recovery mode, can someone assist me with this, i have a galaxy s (Vibrant).
thanks
Try going to your sd folder and delete the clockwork recovery folder then uninstall rom manager and redownload it from the market after it installs open up rom manager and click on flash clockworkmod recovery and let it download the update.zip file and your done

Oh yeah after all those steps and you still get back into the stock recovery system click on reinstall package and it should boot into cwm I hope that helps

u have to flash recovery from rom manager first...it will ask you for ur phone...select captivate (assuming u have captivate)..than select reboot into recovery....
right now u r on 3e recovery which comes with the phone, which doesnt allow u to install any more....

what color the fonts are? is it blue? if it is then its not 2e and how many options do u get just 4? u r in 3e....EDIT: Check ur Pm
Click on flash CWM recovery. Then reboot in recovery to check if it is installed. If not, pull out your battery, put it back and reboot see if this does the installation procedure.
Also, I would advise you to flash a kernel which have CWM baked in rather than using ROM Manager.
insert facepalm here
if you are on recovery 2e, flash CWM, reboot to recovery, reinstall packages, phone reboots to recovery, reinstall packages again, BAM! you are in CWM
its only covered by about 5 million tutorials on these forums, interwebs, youtube, my grandma, etc

this is a nand backup done from a custom recovery, restore it in recovery...
SOLVED
i flashed boot.emmc.win
i was just unsure if i could flash it or not (because it was emmc win and not .img)
thanks
(i was getting bootloops trying to restore the default/stock rom, so this is all i needed to do - for others viewing this with similar problem)

confused ?! are you not trying to restore the whole backup cuz flashing the boot.img is not gonna restore your backup but just the kernel really.

you should be able to "restore" the whole nand backup from recovery.
U need to flash boot.img from the rom in fastboot not the nandroid boot backup that wont work and ur phone wont boot.

how can i fix it ?
Probably bad flash/ota. Happened too me as well. I had to reset to stock and reflash via Odin. Make full backup of your device, then try to get back to stock.

can you please describe little bit more ...
you mean i could wipe data with twrp recovery mode ?
or should use odin to install the same firmware again or what ?
What? No. Didn't say anywhere to root. Get to bootloader, use odin and flash original samsung system.
How to make full backup of the device if u arent rooted??
Don't root and fiddle around if you don't know what your doing. Or at least get enough information about what your doing before doing it.
this happened to me after flashing stock FW with odin and then flashing custom recovery without first letting the phone to boot.
After flashing CSC, the phone needs to go to revocery and finish the flashing process (copy CSC files to system). If you flash custom rom, it might not be able to flash the zip and therefore you have no CSC and get weird settings.
I was able to flash the zip with custom recovery by remounting system as read-write first.
