How are you trying to get into CWR?
open Rom Mgr, flash CWR, click on Vibrant if prompted, click on reboot into recovery.. should be at the stock recovey, click to reinstall packages *may need to do this twice*
I did that, but then it automatically goes black then goes to the Vibrant Screen.

Try powering down the phone, then holding down the volume keys and the power button (release the power button when you see the Vibrant logo), to see if you can get into recovery manually.
Finally got it, had to flash back to.stock using odin

Did you flash the stock tar and pit files?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes i did from 2 different people on 2 different computers( Home and work)
I even watched some youtube videos on how to do it so i couldnt possibly mess up the written directions
Try to flash a 2.2 voodoo kernel with odin. If the flash is successful, use three button method to get into recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
where would i get the 2.2 from and how do i use odin to do it.
I know it sounds like a stupid question but i really want to make sure i dont mess up.
Thank you very much for your help

Get into download mode and make sure odin sees your device. If it does, take one of the 2.2 odin kernel files found in that link above, and place it in the pda slot in odin. Flash and hope for the best.

Sweet they work now for some reason or another..
and now instead of looping it just stays at the vibrant screen
I flashed my t959 vibrant with I9000 rom by accident, and now i am getting the Galaxy Gt-i9000 screen right before the normal vibrant screen on boot up. Would this have any negative effects on the phone? Also, download mode has switched to vol + and power and vol + and - plus power is not working. I would like to get it back to 2.1 stock like it was out of the box. Tried factory reset, format,flash with odin, recovery user data wipe, no good. . How do i get rid of the GT-i9000 screen?
What exactly did you flash with odin? JFD?

Ok.. I did that before... the easiest way to fix that is to load any team whiskey rom the flash dow kernal oh top ... then you can obin back to stock and the i9000 and/or at&t world splash screen will be removed and all will be good.. I hope this helped

I cant seem to boot into recovery by holding both volume buttons and pressing power. I can get into it with "adb reboot recovery", or with quick boot or rom manager (but i current dont have root, so thats not an option).
But when i just try to turn the phone off and boot into recovery manually it just boots into android every time.
Try holding all three buttons until the sammy logo appears. Then release power button only.
Edit: Also try volume up ( or down...can't remember) , power, and home soft key.
And you prolly shoulda posted this in q&a section bud. Try to keep the forums clean and less cluttered.

Ive tried that repeatedly. Maybe im releasing the power button too late. But it just goes into the boot animation regardless.

Im at stock right now, no root at all. I had a semi-brick and had to odin stock DI01 all in one and then use the OTA to go to ea28. I then used odin to flash the DL05/DL09 recovery file. but i dont have root so i cant boot to recovery from the OS and i cant just manually go into it (at least it hasnt worked so far). The only way i can get into recovery is to issue "adb reboot recovery", but the OS has to be booted to use adb, and from my understanding you cant go into the OS before flashing the update zip. When i tried it failed about halfway through.
There is a all in one pack for odin on adroidcentral.com that has the corrwct clockwork recovery, is prerooted, and is froyo with superclean. Id go with that bud.

You can download the pre rooted eb01 and Odin that and from there use Odin to flash your recovery gizmo has a more up to date recovery in a thread here some things are still borked but its better than what we have had.

I ODIN'd my T959 last night and everything went fine. But now during boot I get the GT-I9000 splash screen... although the phone is listed in the About section as a T959. Worse, I no longer have the green or red recovery, it's blue (even after rooting). I can no longer get to recovery using the 3-button method, I had to root the phone and install ROM Manager in order to get to blue recovery.
I tried using AIO Vibrant Toolbox and still I'm having the same issue.
Any suggestion as to how I can fix this?
Next time you odin back stock, use http://www.multiupload.com/HRYJKFLKFQ instead of the original JFD file. You can probably use this now to get the Vibrant splash back anyway. Just odin like you normally would. And you're supposed to reinstall packages again...Odin resets your recovery.
Since you flashed the GB bootloader, the combos change.
vol up + power=download mode
vol down + power=recovery
read the op next time
Agreed. Reinstall packages in recovery. Sometimes reflash recovery with ROM manager and try again then in recovery choose reboot in recovery. Good luck!

BTW... I read the OP, I assure you. Perhaps I didn't understand it, and that's obvious. But I read the OP. Whenever I flash a ROM I read the entire thread beforehand. I'm still very much a danger to myself and my phone.
laylovj - that did the trick. The splash is back and more importantly, I have data again. I installed SH 3.8 Revolution and it's running great.
Thanks again.
This is my first post & thread in XDA, I'm a active user in another forum. I have an OV, which is rooted, has multiple mods, and running on a IHO ROM... So I'm not a complete noob xD
Getting to the point... I currently have a Galaxy Ace that I'm allowed to tinker with (It's a friends) and Ive already rooted it with SuperONeClick.
Now I've tried to flash CWM and I've failed miserably xD
Theres a sticky in the Galaxy Ace Development section, and I've tried a method there for flashing CWM multiple times and I cant get it to work. I've also tried flashing it via the Terminal Emulator like I did with Xionia and my OV, but that didn't work. The last thing i tried was using the stock Samsung Recovery to flash the zip but it wouldnt work, so I renamed the CWM zip to update.zip and I flashed it and it said it flashed CWM and it was successful. When I tried rebooting into Recovery it just hanged on the first Samsung logo. I battery pulled and tried the button combo to boot into Recovery mode and it just hung like before. So I tried to boot into download mode and it would say Emergency Download mode instead of the normal one. So I figured the phone was semi-bricked, but then i just did a normal reboot and it booted up into the stock ROM fine! I dont get it... it wont boot into Recovery but it will boot into the stock ROM.
Before any of you burn me, I'm sorry, I'm new to tinkering with Samsung.
Other points to mention: When Samsung Kies is opened, it just says connecting with that sync icon and just hangs there. It never connects to the phone.
I was trying to use ODIN, and i selected all the files i was going to flash and i plugged the phone in, and ODIN never budged... It didnt recognize the phone, never did anything. I WAS in debug mode...
The Kies things and ODIN stuff i mentioned was tried before and after the rooting...
SO if anyone has any idea, any suggestions on whats going on, and on how i can flash a recovery from where i am now, will be greatly appreciated.
The phone has 2.2.1, Froyo as stock.
you cant flash cwm on a 2.2 phone only 2.3 try the download mode vol down home power

Oh! That's great to know! Well then what can i do? What are my options?
And yeah, Vol Down, Home, Power starts Download mode. I already know that.
I reset the phone to see if itll boot into recovery mode, but no luck & Now, it wont boot into the stock ROM anymore /: it hangs at the Samsung logo.

directly flashing may not workkk stop... i saw somoeone who got fu*ked up with doing so...
try to get it from kies as it will have GB bootloader...
if you flash something that dont have then you may end up with ACE as paper weight
after you get something from kies to 2.3.x then you are free to flash any roms on it for ace

I was having problems with Odin. It wouldnt recognize the phone. But i think it just finally recognized it.
And after all this crap, i turned the phone on, and it booted up fine. I restarted it and it hasn't boot up since... anyone have an idea why?

Sooo yeah, phone works great. Faster than before. I can reboot it works how it should. I can also boot into Download Mode.
BUT... i cant boot into Recovery. I try the button combos and the Samsung logo shows, it turns black shows the same logo again and then boots up as normal. It won't boot into recovery for anything.... Pretty weird.

2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"
5) Mount /system using "mount /dev/block/stl12 /system" command
6) Flash CWM recovery using "flash_image recoveryonly /tmp/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img" command
