I'm trying to boot into recovery from MIUI so I can to a nandroid and try out the new CM9 build. But every time I boot into recovery it just loads stock recovery with some errors and I can't get into CWM recovery.. Any ideas?
Thanks.
That's because MIUI and almost every other rom at this time comes packed with stock recovery over cwm because if the bricking issues we've been having on ICS. Just Odin the el26 cwm kernel and do what you need to there.

Sounds like this will be the easiest way out. Thank you very much.

i was on the gingerbread leak, but got tired of it cuz its not completely stable, and i had clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 and it worked fine. i flashed back to ec05, froyo, and flashed clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 and it keeps freezing. i have ran error checking on my computer and re formated it in android and no luck. keeps freezing in the same spot! do i need to try a different clockwork version?
I have never had that issue, but how long are you giving it to run the backup? Also, why did you need to re flash cwm? Are you using rom manager or 3 finger boot to get into recovery? Here is a link to the acs recovery which is a modified version of cwm 4. If you install it you will have acs recovery on 3 finger boot and whatever recovery that is included with your kernel (probably cwm 3.1.0.1) via rom manager still.

it would run perfectly smooth on gingerbread. and it gets stuck on backing up system on file #11596 or something like that, and clockwork doesnt have an offical recovery for my phone so i have to use odin to flash a recovery. so i use the 3 finger boot. ill try the acs recovery and see what happens. if not ill have to go back to 3.0.0.5, which is the one that came with the rom.
I was flashing the goodness 3.0 rom then flash the rogue kernel afterwards..now i cant go to recovery or odin how can i fix this problem?

We need more info. What were you running before and what have you done so far?
Also, did you do a full wipe while in CWM recovery before trying to flash the rom?

flash recovery through rom manager
I am new to the whole rooting and flashing roms and kernels. I rooted my epic 4g touch via QBKing77's videos and then followed his video on how to install the clockwork mod recovery with the agat recovery. Then I went to google play and bought ROM manager pro and clicked "flash clock workmod recovery" and it showes that I have the latest version flashed, but when I then go to "boot into recovery" it boots into the clockwork mod recovery but when I try to use my volume buttons to navigate nothing happens. But they work in AGAT recovery? Whats wrong? What should I do?
Thanks
Im having similar issues with CWM. I have premium installed and when I click boot to recovery it goes to a weird android recovery with an android twirling something but there is no option for an image nandroid backup...and when i click on make a backup from the CWM menu it takes me to the same screen but says error and aborts... have the stock root...ff18....i have verified root. I also have odin mobile...it would be nice to be able to just upload whatever i meed from there without having to go thru all this odin stuff...Never had to with my att skyrocket 2
Why did you buy rom manager pro. Rom Manager can not flash recoveries on this phone. Recoveries are packed into the initramfs of our kernel unlike most phones. At best you get a temp flash which by the way has proven to be an unsafe thing.
I am not familiar if anyone has any updated safe repacks with just plain stock cwm. But there are custom recoveries based on it for stock TW roms. CM9 has stock CWM and TWRP though.
I don't think the video told you to buy rom manager pro and or to try and flash recoveries with it. You flash kernels that have recoveries. You can do this with tar's in odin/mobile odin and or if you have custom recovery cwm zips then.
AHHH was about to say i just realized i needed to update the correct kernel in order for it to work...thank you for the lightning quick response tho...

Okay thanks. So i can use the agat recover to wipe caches and install zips?
Hi everybody!
I'm having an issue with agat recovery. After flashing cyanogenmod beta 2, agat recovery v2.2ish disappeared and in place was CWM version 6 something. Not sure why this is happening as i'm new to rooting/flashing.
Here's a history of what I did so far. Rooted the phone using qbking77 instructions, installed agat recovery using mobile odin, made nandroid backup, then flashed cyanogenmod beta 2. a few days later installed JB Tweaks & Fixes by exit_only. A few days later noticed that agat recovery wasn't there and in it's place was CWM v6.0.1.5.
So... here's the sketchy part, for some reason I thought since mobile odin wasn't installed, agat must have uninstalled itself as well. so I installed mobile odin again, flashed agat recovery again. the phone rebooted but it wouldn't bootup after the samsung splash screen (blank display). I tried to boot into recovery (volume up + power button) which worked, agat recovery was back! since the phone wasn't booting up, I decided I should do a nandroid recovery but at the last minute thought I should flash cyanogenmod beta 2 again with gapps just to see if it would work. rebooted the phone after both were installed, it was back to normal but when I checked if agat recovery was there, it was changed back to CWM 6.
how do I get agat recovery back? Thanks!
recoveries on this phone is packaged with roms. so flashing cm will bring its recovery along with it

Thanks!
so if I wanted to flash another rom, I can just go into cwm recovery & erase dalvik cache & all user data and select flash rom?
Yes. The recovery that comes with CM is a safe recovery. Typically what I tell people is to be safe and always flash from a safe recovery. If ever in doubt, odin (in pda slot) or mobile odin this recovery and then flash whatever rom you want:
