please help - clockworkmod backup rom problem

ok so, i just rooted my phone and that went fine. did it with the stock rom, but after I did that I installed clockwork mod. well, i tried to do a back up of the current rom and when it rebooted it crashed. now it comes up to the android system recovery screen but it won't let me select anything...... can anyone help?!?!?

i am freaking out here... did i brick my phone?!?!?! anyone????

I don't know why you're having a problem or what caused it but you certainly didn't brick your phone. You can always flash a new ROM in clockwork or use odin to flash the stock .tar.
edit: missed the part about not being able to select anything in recovery. All is not lost, just flash the stock EG31 .tar with odin and you'll be fine. You're gonna have to reroot and set everything back up again (I've done it twice today) but at least you will still have a phone. Try just flashing the kernel first, maybe you can get it to boot without losing anything.

everytime i reboot the phone it just comes back to this android system recovery screen. it's blule, at the bottom is says manual mode. and something sucsessfull but, it won't let me selelect any of the options and it keeps booting to this screen... where can i download odin? i keep seeing stuff about that, i guess i need to flash to a rom or something....
edit: cool, yeah.. can you show me where to download what your talking about??
thank you!!

[Q] Help installed battery mod and loop?

Please bring me back. I installed CM9 pre5 but forgot to update kernel to get CMW with 3 fingers and now I installed battery mod beta4 and phone justs loops.
I made a backup when I updated before installing battery mod but I don't know how to get phone back into clockwork mod since i didn't install kernel for it after CM9 update.
I need instructions to get phone back up please save me.
Thanks for your fast input...

The Cm9 update includes the kernel. Just three finger boot into recovery.

Great but what if?
wow that was fast and accurate, many Thank You Zeinzu. I did not know it had CWM on CM9 thinking you had to flash kernels like nyan 5 or shadow cm9 6.3.3 to get it to work.
If by any chance that 3 finger didn't work I would need to use odin to:
via ODIN
1.To begin, download the CWM 5.0.2.7 tar file from the link above.
2.Run ODIN and make sure Re-Partition is unchecked.
3.Click PDA and choose the recovery you downloaded.
4.Boot your phone into Download Mode. (Power it off and holding down the 1 key on the keyboard, press the Power button.)
5.Connect the device to your PC and once you see it connected in ODIN, hit the Start button to begin the flashing process.
6.Once the recovery is flashed, the phone will reboot
does F.Reset Time checkboxes need to be selected?
or
odin back to OFFICIAL SPH-D700-FC09-8Gb-REL.tar then I need to root it again? lost here never had to go back so just wanted to know from the Pro's...
Thanks m8 =)

Nooooo!!! Once on mtd (cm9 is mtd) do not flash another recovery.... there Is no flashable or .tar for cwm for mtd roms.. cm9 installed the recovery you should stick with (there is a touch recovery, but its buggy imo)
If you cantget to the recovery you will need the fc09 with victory.pit wth repartition an auto reboot checked...

Cool

Thank You Flashnoles you also saved me from bricking my phone.
I got confused into thinking I needed to install extra kernals on CM9 to get CMW but I followed Zeinzu advice and was saved. I was just about to odin a CMW.tar when I had my doubts and decided to ask the kind m8's of XDA.
Does CM9 stock kernal have the 3 Button Reboot or you only get that with Nyan Colonel v5 or ShadowKernel CM9 v0.6.3.3 because I try to do a fast reboot but keep getting volume going up or down?
I noticed when I installed the Nyan Colonel v5 it installed TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) instead of CMW but I reverted back using restore-cwm.zip. Is this the "touch recovery" you were reffering to because I also found it buggy and was not confident using it for Recovery and tools?
So If a new CMW version pops up the only way to get it is to odin back to stock BML to install it then use Restore in CMW to get back to your saved Rom?
Could I use epic4g-fc09-sdcard-utility-v3.tar to temp bypass MTD and install CMW updates?
Thank You again both for your advice and great responses...

MTD uses a completely different recovery. The recovery is overwritten whenever you flash a rom or kernel. When thee is a new recovery, you will automatically get it when you update cm9.

Problem flashing CWM Recovery into Sprint GS2

I was able to use Odin1.81 to restore the stock ROM (2.3.4) with root to my S2. Everything was good. Then I wanted to flash CWM Recovery. I tried two methods:
1) Installed ROM Manager from Google Play. Install CWM Recovery from there. Device selected as 'Epic 4G Touch'. This didn't work after reboot. Instead of entering CWM Recovery, the device went to 'Android System Recovery 3e' menu. It seems that Android has some built-in protection system from being flashed.
2) Restored stock ROM again, then flashed CWM Recovery 5 from Odin1.81. Now I could enter CWM Recovery, but I noticed the power on logo changed from "Samsung Galaxy sII" to "Samsung Galaxy sII I9100". A yellow triangle with an exclamation symbol appeared in the center of the screen. This bothered me a lot.
Does anyone know what correct steps should I follow to root my Sprint S2+install CWM Recovery?
Thanks in advance.

For number one. NEVER use rom manager like they brick our phones.
Use sfhubs el29 one click.

Use sfhub's auto root utility or download and flash Agat's safe kernel + recovery (which can be done through ODIN).
Then use Triangle Away to remove the triangle.

OK as was mentioned DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER! Unless you want a pretty paperweight.
Use sfhub's one-click(s) to add stock+root. You can use either the EL29 for GB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 or FF18 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 for ICS.
Then use sfhub's Autoroot to add a CWM recovery [either Rogue for GB or Agat's for ICS] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Find and follow the instructions. They are very detailed and precise.
I would also HIGHLY recommend doing a whole lot of reading. Read the stickies, read the OPs and the follow up posts too. A little time and patience will bring rewards. Haste and carelessness will surely kill your device.
Good luck.

Thank you, daniel4653, garwynn and leaderbuilder. You are all very helpful. I am going to try EL29 and Autoroot script.

Issues with Getting CWM on Phone

Hello all,
First time posting, but big time lurker. I used you guys to root my HERO and now to root my Samsung that I have now. Yesterday, while using CM9, I realized I could not boot in Recovery, I could only boot into Download mode. I was switching from CM9 anyway to test out some different ROMs. So, I did a fresh install using ODIN (FI03) from one of the threads on here. But for the life of me, I cannot get CWM on my phone.
When it boots, it boots to stock recovery (which is an improve, when I was using CM9 like I said, it would NOT boot to recovery at all).
Nothing works! I have done the Auto-root E4G and it keeps giving me ADB errors (I stopped ADB manually, re-installed it, re-started my computer, phone, took the battery out and nothing). It got the point I was desperately trying to use ROM Manager. When I take a look into my files on my phone, I see a folder titled clockworkmod recovery with back-up information.
Does anyone have any other methods to flash custom ROMs (other recoveries) or working file to flash CWM for ICS 4.0.4 using ODIN? ODIN works flawlessly.
I keep getting directed to a Team Rogue Recovery when I do a forum search, but it clearly says in bold letters not to use the kernel to flash other ROMs. I also get directed to non-working links. I listen to warnings, I soft bricked my phone briefly last night and it was stuck in boot loop for a bit. I really don't want to do it again.
Any help or if I missed anything in any of the threads - please direct me to it. Thank you!

has cwm changed its icon

hello today i rooted with ,root 66 tar. and odin and when i went to make my backup it showed an android as normal but soon showed the same android on his back with his trap door of his belly open and a little red triangle above the door and i freaked a bit so i just rebooted out to startup without backing up and ,am a bit afraid to even go back in to it again. Is this normal theres no warning or anything it just doesnt look like it has when ive used clock work mod before and i think its an exclmation point

You must have forgotten to install a custom recovery. The Android on his back is stock recovery. Can't make a backup with that.

ok i get that im a duh lol
can i just flash one now or are there steps to it info would be helpful please ... thank you :good:

It's cool man. No worries.
I use TWRP, so if you want that, just go into the market and get GooManager. Install it and then open. Hit install recovery and it will download a BLOB and install it and then reboot to recovery all on it's own. Easy peezy.
Or you can go to Doc's page stickied in the Dev section and get CWR or TWRP Odin-ables or flashables, if you like.

If you don't want twrp and want cwm, download ROM manager from the market and follow the prompts
