I was curious as to how clockwork recovery would work from the GAL S 2 ,so i tried from within ROM Manager.
It worked great for me did a backup from within ROM Manager it flashed cwm version 4.0.1.5 it works great for me ymmv.
running midnight ROM with zedomax kernel 4.1 beta restored fine no problems.
Allowed me to name backup everything works .
do this at your own risk i assume no responsibility if you brick,etc,stub your toe,whatever on 2nd attempt i had 2 hit power button to go to recovery seems to only work like that Seacrest out.

i am still learning more and more..
ok i guess i used to have Stock CW (Blue)
i flashed MIUI and it had me upgrade to CW 3.0.0.8 (orange)
doing this i did not know that i would i guess render my other older Nandroid backups i made useless...
Soo my question is do i stay on CW 3.0.0.8 and reflash all my roms .. will they (shooter, runny, wildstang) work with this CW 3.0.0.8?
or should i go back to stock.. and how do i go back to stock and if i go back to stock again will my old nandroids work again?
thank you
The easiest way to flash any CWM version is using ROM Manager. The current version is actually 5.0.2.0. Which is blue. You don't have to reflash any of your ROMs when you upgrade and then backup. The restore system should work with the previous CWM recoveries.
the older back ups i made are not working ...
i am in Rom manager and it does say Current Recovery : 5.0.2.0
when i restart the phone and go into recovery it says 3.0.0.8
i figured it out .. !!!
thank you though

Watch out.... I've had ROM Manager repeatedly do bad flashes of CWR on my dInc. Don't trust it until you've made backups of your current ROM.

Been known to happen. Safest way is to tell ROM Manager to erase recovery prior to flashing. I kind of feel that should be default, and not an option.
So I'm on froyo but trying to upgrade to gingerbread CleanGB Rom. I'm already rooted and I flashed clockwork mod from Rom manager. If i try to make a backup, or flash the rom, everything fails, soemthing about not mounting in clockwork mod. What's wrong? (Not experienced with Epic 4G). How can i get the recovery working normally?
Redo the one click and make your backup from a 3 finger salute into CWM. Sounds like ROM Manager is broken for you. Update from 3 finger into CWM and then you should be able to get ROM Manager working. There are things you have to do if you are going to MTD to get ROM Manager working. But first let's get you to Gingerbread.
You need cwm5. I would Odin to stock and retry.

I installed the goodness as my first rom and following the guides it installed a modified CWM 5, the rogue version. I used Rom manager and installed the standard. WHen I reboot into recovery from the rom or using the pwr+up it boots into rogue, but when I reboot into recovery from rom manager it reboots into the standard cwm. I want to only use standard cwm, How do I get rid of and install it so when I boot into recovery manually it's the regular cwm.
Most don't recommend Rom manager, I would just stick with Rogue.. I had no problems with it..

Get rid of ROM manager it doesn't flash recovery right on this phone..and koush doesn't care to fix it...don't ever use the touch one either... Get a kernel with cwm in it at use mobile Odin to install....if using a GB ROM use the el26 if using a ics ROM don't use any recovery unless u hate your phone and want to brick it

Just stick with Rogue's. ROM Manager has been the source of a TON if bricks lately (mostly to do with CWM Touch). If you absolutely can't use Rogue you can use the stock CWM from EL26.

But really I'd stick with Rogue...
And ROM manager doesn't actually install recovery on the phone. When you flash a recovery in it it creates a temporary recovery for you to boot into. But ya, don't even bother messing with ROM manager for all the reasons everyone else has stated.

I totally agree here with the ROM Manager danger... When I had trouble in the past on a GB ROM, Koush didn't respond to any of my help requests.
I haven't had any issues lately, but in all fairness I do like the fact that ROM Manager will automatically reboot the phone into recovery, create a backup, and then boot back into Android. Also, I can delete or rename existing backups from right within Android with RM. I have restored the backed-up images with no issues too...
I've been on ICS since Calk's 1.0 FC06 ROM, and I have been fortunate enough to know to stay away from the touch recovery
You can delete or rename backups in android from any file manager app, most custom roms have the reboot mod to get to recovery and its a few clicks to backup and reboot to phone from recovery Rom Manager doesn't do anything special you can't do with your fingers and your trusting an app to do something for you instead of doing it yourself and making sure its done right

thanks for the feedback, I won't bother with rommanager anymore than lol. Also Can I use Rogue to flash Cyanogenmod and other roms, Some people are saying to use certain clockworkmod versions and saying rogue has caused bricks.
I started out with (I believe) this rom- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323763 and all was good for months.
When the ICS rom leaked, I figured I'd try it, so I performed a backup in recovery mode and then flashed.
Now, Calkulin has an ICS rom and I wanted to play with that, however the leaked rom didn't have clockwork installed.
I grabbed Rom Manager, flashed CMR, and rebooted into recovery.
I had all the zips on my sdcard and went to flash the Calkulin wiper and the little droid started glowing and then fell over with a !. The log said that the signature couldn't be verified. I tried all 4 of his zips and none of them would flash.
So, I figured I'd just restore my old ROM backup... except that there is no backup/restore in recovery now. There is a restore section in the app, but it doesn't see any of my old backups.
My question is, is there a different recovery manager? Why can't I flash or restore?
you need to flash a custom ics kernel, like rouge, most ics roms should have this baked in already, however if not, you can flash it through odin via download mode, just put the rouge ics tar file in pda slot
Ok, so the leaked rom came with a stock kernel and that's bad...
Now I need to find the Odin flasher and rouge image.
Thanks
Mobile odin el26 with cwm. Rogue repacks are not safe to flash ROMs with. They can flash, but risk a brick. Use el26 and hold power+volume up to reboot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, flash rom and gapps. Reboot and you will be good to go.
El26 with cwm: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR

I just grabbed an ICS kernel off the wiki and it worked just fine.
No CWM with ICS roms.
afaik, none of the ICS roms have CWM bundled yet because CWM is unstable. Did you get CWM straight from ROM Manager, and it worked?
Actually, there is no bundled CWM because we don't have kernel source. EL26 was the last kernel with official CWM. DO NOT USE ROM Manager unless you want a brick.

I just upgraded my E4GT Sprint from GB to ICS using the oneclick installer. I am trying to install the CODENAME rom from CWM but havng issues getting CWM installed. I used the the E4GT auto but FE16 isnt listed so i tried FE15 but it wont load into CWM. So i tried this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390393" and flashed from ODIN and it goes into CWM but before it boots it says my phone is a gt-i9100 and has a ! on the bottom. It appears to boot though so i booted back into CWM and tried to flash the ZIP for CODENAME and the gapps file and it jsut gets stuck at the boot screen with the transformer logo. I cant get into CWM after that point and have to ODIN back to ICS. I am on ICS now and its working fine. Does anyone have any instructions on getting CWM installed and the codename rom from a fresh odin ICS install?

You really should read more before hopping around like that without checking. Real risk for a brick here.
-Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via the PDA option in ODIN/Mobile ODIN
-When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery.
-Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache
-Flash ROM
-Flash Gapps
-Reboot
Those are the instructions right from the developer's thread. This is an AOSP rom and it sounds like you're trying to install TW kernels.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295
This is the kernel repository. It links to each kernel where you can read further and find out if they are safe for flashing things.
Seems like you've done a bunch of stuff. But you really should do a whole bunch of reading first or you will brick your phone.
My suggestion would be to use sfhub's one-click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705730 to get to a fully stock rooted device. Then use his autoroot package http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 to add CWM (the lates in the package is FF11+CWM Agat I believe) then you can add Agat's latest kernel with CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721065
But I would be very careful when flashing ANY ROM; use the developers prefered method. Some recommend using EL26 CWM. Some a different recovery or procedure. Be especially careful with CM9 and AOKP builds to follow the directions there.
Good luck
So while i was waiting for a response i just went back to the stock GB using the one click install. I then used the autoroot package to install CWM and then restored my nandroid backup before i made in the very beginning. So my phone is back to a perfect state with GB and CWM installed. Can i just flash the ROM from CWM as is then? For some reason i thought it had to be "converted" to ICS and thats what started this whole mess. Things have changed since my old Evo
I just noticed that im running EL29 not 26...does that matter? When i try to flash that CMW EL26 stock root is when it gave me that gt-i9100 on boot and the ! at the bottom. Using the autoroot and choosing the EL29 Rogue is the only way i got it installed.

My friend some good suggestions above your post. Give yourself a day or two and do some reading prior to flashing. This way you may not end up at Sprint making up stories about why your phone wont boot up.
Let me just echo what everybody else has said, you're gotta read more. A lot more! If you're one goal is to get CNA in your phone I would recommend reading all of the very first post on that thread. They give step by step instructions.
If you need CWM there are several options to get it on your phone. Both sfhub and I have put together several one-click and automated options to get it on your phone.
One thing that hasn't been suggested yet but I would strongly encourage you to do is to read the "How Not To Brick Your E4GT" thread. It's sticked in the General section.
Good luck!
Two more things.
1) If you're going to ask for help give it a few minutes before trying something new. It takes people a minute to reply. Sometimes waiting that extra minute or two is all you need to be saved from bricking.
2) Don't be afraid to hit your thanks button for everyone who has offered advice already. I got them once for you but it might not hurt to do it again.
