After a lot of time of reading, downloading, etc, I have my Evo rooted, flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 permanently, then flashed Senseless EVO 1.1. I have the premium ROM Manager installed but when I click "Flash Clock...Recovery" I get "unable to connect to server...". Ok, so I flashed it manually. Do the manual flash override and it says "Recovery Type:Unknown" underneath the button to flash recovery. Alright, so I try to boot into Recovery from ROM Manager. It asks for SU permission, I give it, then nothing happens. The only thing I can think of is that Senseless EVO 1.1 is a stock rooted ROM and I need to flash a custom ROM from one of the chefs. I'm good for now, got root and got rid of all the bloatware but I know I can't stop here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
i ussually get the ask for su the first time i try after reinstalling/wiping. the second time ussually goes.
What method did you use for root?
do you have any other "rooted" apps do they work ok?
I have flashed a few roms onto my desire and the one i am on now is the rooted Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM by nickiberli! It has come to the point in time when i wish to flash another chefs rom but i dont seem to be able to enter the recovery unlike all the others.
I can try the recovery files and the phone just stays on the red triangle the scripts say permission denied. The session has been run as root/ admin but i still keep getting the same error message.
If i try Rom manager / titantium non of them can enter recovery mode to flash and clockwordmod cannot boot into it either.
I can enter the bootloader fine and the android blue recovery menu but the only options i am presented with are wipe and reboot.
In the past i have had the red triangle (after selecting recovery in the boot loader), gone into recovery mode and flashed with whatever rom i feel fit.
superuser is enabled on the phone and the apps do have the required access but why does the recovery script report permission denied?
I'd try flashing a fresh ruu to take it back to stock, then start over.
I'd check that your rom hasn't modified the update.zip if you used a fake flash.
I am not too sure what that is i just followed the guide here post #2
"•Root guide for users who have unbranded(unlocked) Desire - post #2"
rooted, flashed with the rom i mentioned and now this is where i am, i believe the rom comes rooted
I have the exact same problem.
I have CM6 installed and it's really hit and miss when it comes to getting into recovery.
I have tried holding down and power up, I have tried rom manager and I have tried reboot in CM6 and selecting recovery.
The only way I can get into recovery is through Unrevoked, although now and again rom manager will work.
I have tried multiple times today and just can't get into recovery!!!
I'm just glad it isn't just me.
Out of interest to the OP, how old is your phone? Mine is only a week old.
EDIT: Ironoically after trying several times today I managed to get into recovery using rom manager. But still, this is very hit and miss!!
Hello XDA-developers,
I wanted to install clockworkmod on my samsung galaxy gio and something went wrong....
It is now stuck in the samsung splash and not sure what to do.
What I did:
i rooted the device successfully and downloaded px-cwm-V2.zip from here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337178"
next i rebooted it into recovery(stock) and flashed the px-cwm-V2.zip(renamed it to update.zip)
and rebooted it and now its stuck.....
What should i do......
Thx to all.
Can you get into recovery?
If not, you should flash CWM with ODIN, and try again.
Also which rom are you using (stock froyo, gingerbread, etc...). And which CWM did you install exactly?
No i cant get in to recovery.....
ok ill try that...
i think its froyo, i remember it showing 2.2
the CWM i flashed was the one from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337178" (V5.x)
i just renamed it to update.zip cuz the stock recovery couldnt install custom zips
thank u for replying
hope we can fix this

Flash the third one from the top (cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4+rfs-odin.tar.md5 (Flash With ODIN)).
when i connect it to my computer it doesnt connect...
You have to go into download mode.
how do i got into download mode
Volume Down + Home + Power
where it says select images, which one do i select the rom in
FIXXED
YOUR AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank u sooooooooo much
Fist wait, until windows installs odin drivers for your phone, and when odin sees your device:
1. Select ops file (GIO_v1.0.ops)
2. Tick One Package option.
3. At the bottom click on the one package button, and browse CWM.
4. Click start.
Hi,
I would like to remind you that, CMW v3.x above are no longer support amend scripting which is used in Froyo ROM. Instead it used edify scripting which is used in Gingerbread ROM.
When you are on Froyo and try to use the latest CWM, it will not work, and you will encounter a problem just like you said.
no idea what's going on. i flashed via Odin to get root, and that worked. but i can't get into recovery via power/vol+ and home. also tried vol+ and power but no joy. download works fine.
i installed rom manager to have a peek and that says i "need to have clockworkmod recovery" before i can do anything. the weird thing is in spite of all this, rom manager *can* reboot me into recovery. i just used it to backup my rom just in case.
for now, it seems the only way i can get into CWM is via rom manager? this can't be right since my htc desire and galaxy s2 could do it from a cold boot. had to in case we screwed something up and couldn't boot an OS.
the root guide i used was via here. not2root.com

Here is CWM 6.0.1.5 mate https://hotfile.com/dl/176065007/332cffb/cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar.html, flash with Odin/Mobile Odin. Also read this for root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901196.
cheers
flashed and got into recovery but not at 1st. i always held down the 3 buttons when trying to enter recovery and this time i noticed a flash of "the recovery screen" before it rebooted and went into android.
apparently you just press the buttons and let go with the note 2? not sure if i just realised it now or if this fixed it but either way i got in so tomorrow can flash a new rom.
cheers
Galaxy S3 from at&t, i rooted my phone as soon as got it several months ago, I've flashed colockwordmode 3 times in the last day or so and i cannot make to work, i followed the steps exactly as described, Odin is showing the green pass, the binary cont is increasing every time I've tried but i can't get the phone to start in recovery mode by holding volume up, home and power! it just reboot and turns the phone on or it goes into the Samsung recovery mode (blue screen). Very frustrating!, anyone can please help.
BTW, when i rooted my phone i installed clockwordmode then and it worked fine, i had not has to use it since, I'm running the stock ROM i want to flash another ROM, before i do that i need to use clockworkmode and that's when i realized that it was not working anymore, then tried to flash it 3 times but no success. I still have root.
Have you tried twrp?

This will happen until you load a custom rom I believe. Same thing happened to me then when I installed a rom it started being able to boot into cwm

flash recovery again in odin but make sure the "auto reboot" box is NOT checked. once its done flashing, unplug it and remove the battery for a second. replace the battery and immediately hold down vol up+home+power. this should take you into cwm if it flashed correctly
this could happen when you didn't root it properly
anyways, if you are rooted(as you said), get twrp and see
+1 for twrp

If you still have root, you might want to try installing CWM directly from your phone, using the dd terminal command to copy CWM into the right partition:
Download the latest CWM .img file from CWM's site: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Put the file in your phone. For simplicity reason, I would suggest you put it in the root of your internal SD card. And because you will need to type the whole path+filename in the terminal in your phone, I would also suggest you rename the file to something simple, like cwm.img;
If you don't already have it, install Android Terminal Emulator;
Now, open the terminal emulator, and type the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/cwm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
(That is, if you rename the CWM file to "cwm.img" and you actually put it in the root of your internal SD card. If you put it somewhere else or did not rename your file, you will need to adapt the "if=" part of the command.)
Profit.

Just curious: are you trying to flash CWM via Odin? If so where did you get it from? Did you install a botched version of stock recovery maybe (or one that is from another model of S3)? Try TWRP from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28019751&postcount=1. It is at the bottom of the post and it is labeled "Odin Flashable TWRP Recovery" under Miscellaneous files. Download and install via Odin.
And if you are on Jelly Bean, your flash counter will increment in your dealings with custom recoveries and roms. You only option at this point (if you have root still) is to get Triangle Away and run it in order to reset the counter. However, even if you clear your flash counter, if you go back into recovery it will trip again.

I'm still using stock ROM, i'd like to install a custom ROM but i'm reading that you have to have Clockworkmod to do a successful install.
When i check in the files of the phone (sd card) i can see the clockwordmod folder in there there but still can't get it to boot into cwm recovery, only the Samsung recovery and I've tried the volume up home and power button so many times but no success.
Why do you think it worked when i first rooted the phone and not now?
this is frustrating, thanks for the help.

Yes I've tried 3 times via Odin, i can't remember where i got the cmw file from, it's a tar file (clockworkmod.TAR), the part i don't understand is why when i first rooted the phone in August cwm worked, i used it to install the root and now after trying to install it again 3 times i can't get it to work.
I'm using the stock ROM, not jelly bean.
thanks for any help

Download goo manager app and open that. There will be an option to "install open recovery" in the menu. Voilà a superior recovery that's easier to use
You can even use it to boot into recovery or install the new update for it.

Easiest way to install TWRP is using GooManager from the Play Store.
1. Open GooManager.
2. Press the menu key to open the contextual menu, and select Install OpenRecoveryScript.
3. The app will ask you to confirm you really want to install a new recovery image.
4. GooManager searches for the correct TWRP build for your device. Look at the Filename line, it should display openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-d2att.img for AT&T or openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-d2can.img for Rogers/Bell/Telus. Again, confirm the installation.
5. Wait for the download to begin. TWRP will install. Done.
If it does not work or if GooManager does not find the correct build for your device -- in this latter case, this should raise a flag for you, as you may not have a SGH-i747/SGH-i747M; double check your phone model --, you can always install TWRP manually. From TWRP website (http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2), you can grab the IMG file to manually install from the terminal emulator, and a TAR file to install using ODIN.

So if that's the case (This will happen until you load a custom ROM) how can i back up my stuff before installing a new ROM? that's the reason i was trying to make cwm work so i could back my stuff.
Is there a different way to do a full back up?

if you have root, download Rom Manager and install cwm from the menu.
i've also heard that, if rooted, you can erase /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) an that will make cwmstick. this is due to newer software versions overwriting your stock recovery on reboot.

By installing cwm from the app store (ROM manger) will i get the same back up as i would with Odin install of cwm, in other words do i risk loosing my back up ROM using "ROM manager?"

you've created a backup already? if not, install cwm from ROM Manager, boot into cwm recovery and make your nandroid there. then you'll be all set to to try a new ROM
