This may be rather silly, but I am having a lot of trouble flashing from recovery.
My screen just says
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
where do i go to flash a rom?
using the rom manager doesn't work either, it just takes me to the same screen, nothing flashes.

Hit reinstall packages and it should take you into the clockworkmod recovery. Have you even downloaded a rom? Is it on your SD? Do you know how to flash a rom even? Just trying to help
just trying to get all the info so those can better assist you

open ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".....you need clockwork to be flashing
once you do this, everytime you boot into recovery it will take you to the stock recovery that you are seeing. click "renistall packages" and that will take you to Clockwork Recovery (you have to do this everytime).
And to flash through clockwork select "choose .zip to install", and this is where you can select any .zip that is on the root of your sdcard to flash
------------------
not being rude, but you really should be reading tutorials before attempting to flash. It sounds like you are just attempting things and hoping they work. This usually leads to threads titled "Am I bricked? Please help!"......check out the "Vibrant Bible" stickie under the Vibrant Development forum, theres a lot of cool/valuable information to be learned....not to mention a lot of unnecessary headaches to be avoided

I am use to ROM flashing my Eris with Amon_RA Recovery. I have never used Rom Manager or ClockworkMod Recoverry to flash ROMs. Will someone point me in the right direction on where the best tutorial thread is at.....? I believe that is what eveyone here in TB section is using.
Have you rooted your Tbolt yet? If so it's fairly simple.
1 Flash CWM to your phone via ROM MAnager
2 Place ROM on your SD card
3 Perform backup via RM
4 From RM choose to install ROM from SD card
5 Select Wipe date (if you choose to of course)
6 Hit ok
Thanks!

Thanks! That seems easy enough. Is #5 Select "Wipe date" or "Wipe data"?

if you chose to flash a rom through rom manager, one you chose your rom, it will have a box you can select that says to wipe data.
personally I refuse to do this as CWM still is a bit wonky for the TB. I prefer to manually go into CWM and wipe data a twice, cache twice, and delvik cache twice.

This is where I am confused... I have a rooted Tbolt. I have CWM and ROM Manager installed (from the rooting instructions).
I have the ROM I want downloaded to my SD card, but it's just the original name of the ROM (The-Perfect-Storm-v1.0-signed.zip). So do i have to rename this?
then do I just go into CWM and... how do I get this into the recovery mode to backup?
I have read like 75 threads and everyone seems to know all this already so the questions are either SUPER specific or they glance over steps that a COMPLETE ROM N00B (such as me) would need to know.
I would really appreciate a mite more details in the steps. Thanks a ton!!

EDIT *BIGTIME*
Just went looking for CWM, and guess what??? ITS IN ROM MANAGER *facepalm*
this answers a LOT. Like the button that says "Reboot into recovery"
This is why I need a self-edit button.
*Edit 2* new ROM flashed perfectly.
uhhh. I take it should reboot into a recovery ROM. What if it only reboots to the CWR screen again?
I am currently running VirusROM and have attempted to flash dasBAMF 1.3.2 twice now. Both times the kernel doesn't flash, I loose root, and hangs on the "Android" screen when I reboot forcing a battery pull. I am downloading the .zip file, placing it on the root of my SD card and flashing via CWM. I choose to wipe data each time. Any suggestions guys? Thanks so much for your help.
I'm thinking that CWM isn't fully wiping my data and cache. Could this simply be the case? I'm waiting to try flashing again until I get some suggestions. Its such a pain to get root access and recover each time.
I installed CM7.1 manually (flashed the update zip from CWM Recovery), which updated the recovery to 5.0.2.6.
I have since installed ROM Manager, but it shows that I do not have a CWM recovery installed.
How do I get ROM Manager to recognize the 5.0.2.6 recovery that CM7 installed?
I just confirmed I installed manually, though there's only options for 2.xx or 3.xx. I chose 2.xx and doesn't seem to be any problems so far *shrug*
I suggest you forget about ROM Manager and instead use the long press power button menu to go into Recovery and do whatever you need to do there, like clearing caches, fixing permissions, flashing and/or backing up ROMs, etc.

That is a viable work-around, but I am looking for a solution.
I paid for ROM Manager Premium and would like to be able to use it...
I rooted my device using Gingerbreak.
I have 2.2.2 installed out of the box. I installed CWM. I installed busybox.
Busybox failed. I tried all the versions that it contains.
I checked root status, and RootCheckBasic says I'm rooted.
I installed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will not reboot to CWM.
It only reboots to the standard Android recovery.
I'm trying to install Bumblebee ROM 2.4.
Here are some things I am having issues understanding with it...
Backup current apps and their data with Titanium Backup (available in the Market). Is this required? The phone is new. I have nothing to back up.
Do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything else below.
And the nandroid backup is done with CWM? Again CWM won't reboot, only the standard Android recovery boots.
Required if installing BB 2.x for the first time: Wipe. Wipe it all. Data, cache, system, dalvik-cache, sd-ext if you've got it (might need to look under Advanced or Mounts in recovery to do the last two, and while you're there format /system). I assume you wipe it all with CWM while in recovery?
If upgrading from BB 2.3, wipe cache (and only cache) in recovery.
Does not apply to me
If not upgrading from 2.3, install Wiper zip (see below), just to be extra sure that all is wiped. Don't reboot yet. Installing wiper.zip is done by sideloading using adb commands?
Install ROM zip (see below).
I assume this too is done by copying the zip to the external SD, then selecting update from SD card in recovery... right?
Please someone shed some light on this for me.
In standard Android recovery it says e3. I know on my Captivate I had to use Odin to install GB loaders to get it to work.
THANKS!
Flashwork mod recovery? Never heard of it.
Try downloading rom manager from the market and use that.
Everything else should be simple

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
It's in rom manager.
Which I installed from the market.
But I don't get the CWM recovery when I reboot into recovery mode.
I get the standard Android recovery
-you know... the one that just has "install update.zip"

Oh, okay, um... are you using the reboot into recovery option in rom manager right after flashing?
After flashing what?
I reboot into recovery through rom manager and get:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
_________________________________________________________
Android System recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!
After hitting flash clockworkmod recovery, immediately hit reboot recovery
After hitting anything in CWM it did nothing more than reboot into the standard android recovery.
This phone has 2.2.2 on it. Problem? Probably.
I followed instructions at androidcentral and got it to work.
Needed Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-11222011
using Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed
Had a little problem today and needed to activate the phone. BUUUUT......
the rom didn't allow activation.
So I installed Bumblebee. No go.
Then I tried [rom] basic stock rom.
Neither of these will let my phone boot. It gets stuck at boot.
Nothing happens.
I can still boot into Xiona_CWMA. But no roms will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok, so I CAN load different recoveries.
They work, or at least seem to.
I can flash roms, but nothing happens (bootloop) or the phone comes on and works with a black screen.
I can call my number and can hear the call, but can't see anything.
Bullet if u found solution pls tell me too

I believe that may be due to the newer display in your phone (I'm new to this device so I dont know much yet). From the little bit of information I've gathered, devices manufactured recently have a different display that requires a kernel that supports it. In the iho roms this is included, on others you'll need to flash a kernel right after the rom.
For the stock rom I can upload what I use if you need it. Its basically the one posted here just with the boot.img swapped with one from a nandroid backup I made before switching roms
I think you're spot on with that idea.
I loaded CM7 variant, and it worked.
My question is, how do I get another ROM on it if it has the newer screen?
I loaded different kernels that were supposed to fix it, but no go.
I have been trying to get to the screen where i can install from sd but it will not let me get to that point. I boot into recovery mode but the options it gives me is
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd-card
the letters are blue..................
can some help me out????? i want to install a different rom but i can't get to the install rom from sd option
Thanks
Download cwm rom manager from the manager, and install the recovery.
After that you can install the rom you desire!
i tried that and still same result. I have install other roms before but now it wont let me get to the install from sd screen
You should probably learn how to flash back to stock first (instructions are in many of the Guides). If you are flashing roms, eventually something will go wrong, and you will need to reflash to stock, or at least install a new kernel and recovery. Using Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel is part of the instructions for installing CM. Better to have Odin and the JFD file on hand when your phone bricks or boot-loops.

Select reinstall packsges....you may have to do it twice then you should be out of stock recovery and into clockwork recovery
Sent from My I Screamed Vibrant
You can download CWR from my signature and put it on your internal SD. Put the update.zip on the internal and make sure it is only thing labeled .zip on there. Hit Reinstall Packages, let it cycle then hit it again. Recovery will go from blue to green and then you can install ROM from SD.
+1 on the reading and how to install ROMs. Plus while you are in CWR, go to Backup/Restore and do a nandriod backup.
Good luck.
i have all that and have gone back to stock and everything. still same results

What these guys have told you has worked time and time again for most everyone else. What I would recommend is that you get the AIO toolbox. Everything you need in a one-stop-shop.
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my phone.
It is no longer booting into the OS, instead it boots into the recovery mode.
So here's what happened. I was on Google Play Store looking for some utility apps, and found this "[ROOT] Rashr" app, read its details and got interested in it since I also do wanna try to back up my CWM Recovery. I don't even completely understand what it means, but as what the apps says, I really thought that with it, backing up my recovery will be very easy, just like how ROM is backed up when you do a NANDroid backup. So, after it was installed, I head on to its Back-Up section, ticked the box for "Recovery", and tapped on "Go", expecting that it would work. It said "Rebooting..." and booted to recovery mode, so I thought that I had to complete the "Recovery Back-Up" inside CWM, so I spent time looking through the options. And, this is where I discovered that CWM has a rainbow color mode. When I found out that no signs of back up could be done in CWM, I rebooted from within CWM. BUT, it still booted to Recovery Mode.
I tried . . .
Odin, but since it boots only to recovery, Odin isn't detecting it.
Wiped the data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache. Then restore.
Can this be fixed? I badly need help.
I have:
CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6 (used when I rooted the phone), updated to v6.0.4.5 (current)
Stock ROM 4.1.2
Recent NANDroid Backup
Any inputs will be very much appreciated. Thanks.
No intention of giving the "Rashr" app a bad name. I just didn't know how to use it.

I never thought the solution would be that simple. Hehe Thanks manoj. :good:
Finally fixed it!
What I did:
1) Flashed the stock Recovery. I was surprised it was able to boot to Android cause I was thinking that the zip is only the stock recovery. It had errors though. Home Screen won't appear or load.
2) When rebooted, it got stuck in SAMSUNG boot animation, but it was all good cause Odin was still able to detect it which means it can still be rooted. So . . .
3) Flashed CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6
3) Wiped data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache.
4) Restored the backup.
