CWM not working?

OK! Im kind of confused. Rooted then flashed cwm, I flashed Smooth Maximus ROM Gingerclone onto the phone through cwm and now i cant get into it at all. When i boot to recovery i get the stock recovery, ive tried though quickboot, button combo, and rom manager and i get the same thing everytime. Any help would be appreciated. CWM 4.0.0.2

Don't use ROM Manager. It has the wrong CWM version. Use the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453
I'm not entirely sure that'll work if you've already flashed a ROM, so wait for an actual dev to chime in.

heres what i did when i couldnt get it to work
make sure ur rooted
download this
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip
extract the update.zip and ur gonna look for a file called recovery.bin
and get ahold of root explorer
place the recovery.bin on ur sd card and remember where its at
go into root explorer and find it and long press it and hit copy then go into the phone using root explorer and go into /system/bin and paste it dont delete anything or move files just overwrite it
then download this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12704578/sk4...eclickroot.zip
and unzip it on your computer make sure u unzip it if not it wont work
and double click run.bat and let it do its thing and itll reboot into CWM for you and go into install packages or something and voila
make sure you have usb debugging enabled
and id flash

this kernel then reflash your rom making sure to wipe it
this method working after countless hours of errors etc report back

second link 404'd

welp i pushed the update binary file in that first link then booted to recovery from quickboot and it booted into cwm. Thanks guys for the help

Ok nvm I can boot to cwm but I can't do anything with it. I just get errors. I'm really confused.

Update.zip in root of sd... make sure you extract the file from recovery before placing it

did you put the update.zip on your sdcard and replace your recovery in system/bin?

Yes, here are the errors I get when I boot into cwm -
E: can't mount cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
And upon trying to install update.zip....
E: unknown volume for path [/sdcard/update.zip
E: can't mount /sdcard/update.zip

then you dont need to install update.zip
just wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
check mounts
flash rom
wipe dalvik
check mounts
reboot

Okay. Gonna give it a shot.

im pretty sure youre okay you can keep on going make sure you check your mounts before and after flashing

I select mounts and storage... and the only option is mount usb storage. I can't select a .zip from the sdcard.

EMMC is not the SD card , its internal system memory. Can you list the steps you are taking exactly.
Have you done a system reset or clear data from stock ICS or stock recovery? IF so you may have encountered the EMMC bug

Well I can install from SD again, but now when I try to flash the stock ROM it succeeds but it boot-loops, could that be the EMMC bug?

If u have backuped up through CWM then u can restore. Otherwise u cant. I recommend you to download custom rom for ur device.. And put it in ur sd card by Card reader. Then put sd card back in the device and flash that rom via CWM. Then only your device will run.

[Q] Please Help, Just Rooted NS4G

I recently rooted my NS4G, coming from Evo supersonic, so I am familiar with this stuff. But I've been running into problems trying to install different things from CWM. I am currently on TWRP v2.6.3.0 and everytime I try to install a ROM or a recovery it starts with "Updating partition details..." then says "E:Unable to open zip file." and the installation fails from there. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Pls help ASAP

Also says, "E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'"
"E:Unable to recreate and sec-folder"
"E:Unable to mount '/sdcard/'"
"E:Unable to find partition size for '/wimax'"

Try Philz, just make sure you have a ROM zip on your SD card, because it won't mount to your computer... it will flash KitKat though..
