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.

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.
(No such file or directory)
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

When I try to flash CWM, I get a signature verification fail error. I replaced the recovery binary but it still won't work.

The link is broken... Have tried to Odin one of Dr Honk's kernels?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
The link is working again. It looks like that kernel needs adb to access recovery, which I haven't been able to get to work. Do you have any other ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you just trying to get it into recovery? If so, do you have the Android software developer kit (SDK) installed? The SDK includes the adb binary. Download it, install it, then open a command prompt, cd to the 'platform-tools' directory where the SDK installed, insure your phone is on & plugged in via USB, and issues the command: adb reboot recovery.
If I'm off-base with what you're trying to accomplish, my apologies.

Don't use a KFx rom, the KF1 and KF2 versions of Gingerbread were really buggy and will give you more trouble than they're worth. You're better off flashing Octane, Valhalla or ICBINB which get updated frequently.

Which also means that you need to flash a KG4 leak or newer for the proper GB bootloaders. If not, you'll get a rainbow screen.
Similar Problem
Hey Guys,
I had a similar problem. I am using Fire Expert to overwrite the new recovery to the \system\bin folder. However, I realized my mistake was that I did not mount as r/w. After I did that though and I held the volume up, down and power, I stay stuck at the initial splash screen and can't go into the stock recovery screen. I can't boot regularly either; I have to Odin recover. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Overwriting the old recovery and putting the update.zip file on the sdcard for CWM Final was for Froyo ROMs only, not Gingerbread (GB) ones. What ROM are you currently on?
In order to get into recovery since flashing the GB boot loaders I have to:
Power off the phone
Hold down Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power button
When the Galaxy S screen comes on, wait a second, it'll get a tad bit brighter. When that happens let go of only the Power button
Wait a few seconds and you should be in recovery
Sounds like you might be a bit goofed at this point, though. If you were on GB before I'd suggest using one of the ROMs in bhundven's The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection. The last one in the list will also give you root, CWM, and voodoo lagfix.
Hey. Thanks for the quick reply.
I am currently on Froyo, Kernal version 2.6.32.9.

Weird. All you should have to do is put the updated recovery in /system/bin & put the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.
What is the current state of the phone? I know in the previous post you said you would have to use ODIN to recover. Did you do that?
Yes I did use Odin to recover. I did it following the link provided in the sgs4g 10 commandments. This is the second time I recovered. After I recovered he first time, I tried the process again and the same thing happened: stuck at the initial splash screen.

Just wondering if your phone is currently working or not. I wasn't sure given that you reflashed with ODIN.
Yes everything is fine right now. Lucky all of my settings and apps were still there after following that tutorial.
Perhaps file expert doesn't work?

I've not used it but if it allows you to mount /system read/write, then it should work fine as long as you're putting the 'recovery' file in /system/bin & the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.
If you try it again then reboot into recovery, what happens?

My LG G2x currently is running the stock ROM, and stock kernal 2.6.32.9
You flashed a kernel which isn't compatible with stock. I believe Morfic has a stock-based kerenel. Other than that, there are a couple of threads with rooted stock OS nandroids, grab one of those and do an advanced restore and select ONLY to restore boot. Make sure to get the same version nandroid as is Tue OS on the phone.

Guys,
I need some big time help! I just messed with the framework.apk file (was trying to get that annoying wifi notification off) and I basically crashed. I am rooted, running 4.1.1, on kt747 kernel. Everything was fine until I pushed the framework file back to my phone and it crashed, restarted, and gets stuck on the 4gLTE screen. I seriously need help. Also, I do have the stock framework file, but it is on my SD card. How can I make this right? I don't really know where to start. I tried doing a factory reset in CWM, and it didn't help. Also, I DID NOT have a nandroid. *kicks self hard in the shin*
Any suggestions?
The easiest way would be to simply flash a custom ROM in recovery. I guess you could also use a SD card reader to get the backup of framework, package it into a flashable zip and then flash that in recovery.

The nvflash put you back to stock download the rom you want boot into recovery wipe cache data flash rom flash gapps .should be good you might need to reflash cwm recovery if you pushed the wrong button in nvflash.
