Im just did the root process. Snd everything is working great. I installed rom manager and used that to flash cwm recovery. It says I have it now installed. But when I reboot into recovery it goes into some sort of Android thing. I can't even make a backup. Any thoughts

Don't use ROM Manager to install recovery. It doesn't work properly.
Use the Auto Root package in the development sticky (also in my signature)

I've heard that ROM Manager essentially boots a recovery over your actual recovery, so you don't really have a real one. Like sfhub said, use that auto root package and select C to get CWM on your phone

I'm having a problem and hopefully it's something simple I overlooked. I installed Cyanogen's V6.0.0. RC1 and the market won't find anything I search for. I tried a different ROM and the same problem. Now I have no ROM Manager and I can't get into recovery. Recovery goes away every time I wipe to install a new ROM. Is there something I can do to fix it?
If u just noticed it then its not ur Rom, market has been down on different devices to night since about 12

After I install a new ROM and try to boot into recovery mode when the phone is turned off it doesn't load Clockwork Recovery it loads the stock recovery and I don't have any options until I use ROM Manager and install the recovery image from there.
Hope that's enough info.

You need to go in to the menu of the stock recovery (up volume + power), and select apply update.zip to go in to clockwork.
Guys i could use some help and would be greatly appreciative if you have any solutions.
i am trying to flash my first Rom. when i try to install flash clockworkmod recovery it gives me an error after selecting Epic 4G. What can i do to prevent this from happening? And also can you recommend any Rom that will help out with battery preformance as will as speed.

Sounds like you are referring to rom manager? You cant use rom manager to.flash cwm on the.epic. you have to run the one click root with cwm. Use that to root your phone. You can either use the.one.click root that gives you clockwork version 2 or the best option since most roms are ext4 is.to run the one.click with cwm3.0.0.6 and.when you boot into recovery it will format your file system from rfs to ext4 then you have.to flash a rom.

It could be several things. For whatever reason it rarely ever worked for me the first try. Make sure you have the latest windows drivers for SPH-D700 installed and have nothing like pdanet or easytether running that will conflict.
I've had it hang twice running the script in the little DOS window and still eventually succeed, so keep trying. Once it succeeds and reboots it will convert your filesystem automatically.

I running CM7 (nightly 58) and I already have CWM flashed, but when I open ROM Manager, it claims I don't and wants to flash it for me. Is there any harm in doing this? I have CWM version 3.0.0.5 showing when I reboot, and ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 installed.
Maybe it wants you to update to the latest version? (3.0.0.8)
I don't know, I don't use rom manager..

It won't hurt to reflash on top of it, even if it is already flashed.
The other thing that could be happening, if you delete the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard it will ask you to reflash. It uses the folder to keep track of what version you have.
What it wants to do is flash 3.0.0.8. You can do it with no problems. If you want to switch back to 3.0.0.5, just go to the section at the bottom that shows all clockwork recoveries and choose one.
I installed TWRP and like it better than CWM...so I want to remove CWM.
How can I do this?

Can you be more specific? Do I just delete the Clockworkmod folder and that's it? There's nothing in the root?

Did you use goo manager to install your twrp? I believe it removes it for you.... Cuz I don't see cwm files anywhere after in installed twrp with goo.

Yes I did. I still see clockworkmod folder in my file explorer with everything in there, but I don't think deleting that will completely remove cwm
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
CWM itself was removed off your phone upon installing TWRP with Goo Manager.
What you see is the folder in which backups are stored.
You can delete this folder.
If you doubt, just copy the clockworkmod folder to your PC before deleting it off your phone.
As said above twrp goes right over cwm what's left over is backups and other things not needed anymore. Those are safe to delete

Hi. I am also in this predicament.
I had installed TWRP. Had issues with installing a ROM and installed CWM.
Was able to installed ROM using CWM.
Now I wanted to go back to TWRP more flexibility on my part like naming baks but even installing Goomanager, it does not have the "top right" option where I can install the recovery script.
Is there a way to reinstall TWRP without going back to stock and keeping my current ROM?
Thanks.

In Goomanager do you not see the option to install the script when you hit the menu button? That's where it was for me...

Yes, I had installed Goomanager but I dpnt see the option to install the script on the main page even on the top beside the search icon.

Just download your new CWM I would recommend the touch version. Rename it to recovery.img and push it over using the commands you listed in the link above (step 20).

Do you have a nandroid backup of your rom? If not, what's your carrier? HONO has posted the original BELL and ATT img's as well IIRC.
Copy the recovery.img from it, and renaming recovery-backup.img to recovery.img -- backup your current rom before trying anything -- then reboot and try to install with rom manager as usual.

I wouldn't worry about it.. PM a moderator to delete them. It's not really a big deal. Most people probably just spam 10 posts to get out of the "New Member" usergroup anyways.
