Downloaded the new Clockworkmod Recovery from ROM Manager only to find that I could not back up to the external SD Card. So I tried reverting back to an older version (v5.8.4.0) and try backing up again to the SD card.
My phone booted into what appears to be a broken version of CWM where none of the volume and power buttons work correctly. Pressing the volume down only makes the screen scroll down. I can't select anything at all. I can boot into download mode but Odin doesn't recognise my phone. Should I download Samsung drivers and try to flash a stock ROM?
This is really stressing me out as I'm afraid I might have screwed my phone up! Any help is greatly welcome.
[SOLUTION]: Flashed a stock ROM and gave myself a stern talking to.
Just flash a stock ROM, sure

Also Recovery version 6.0.2.7 refuses to mount external SD card. Any suggestions for an alternative to ROM manager? Or should I just uninstall it from my current ROM?

Have you flashed back to a stock Rom?
Yeah I have.
Then I suggest rooting with auto root and flashing philz recovery after and if it still won't see the card then you might need to format it.....and personally I always do that in the phone.
Hopefully a clean install, with fresh root and recovery will get it going again, fingers crossed

I tried to recover a rom today using nandroid and I got some error after the md5 check saying something like error unable to load recovery. (I am currently in recovery console). I then proceded to reboot the phone and now it just shows the Vibrant logo and doesn't do anything I can not reboot into recovery or anything. Is my phone bricked? If not how do I fix this?

ODIN will not remove the update.zip so you can add a ROM and then go into clockwork then flash and your good to go. Try out Toxic or the new D9, there awesome.

Yes, you will have to re-flash recovery. If you have the update.zip on your SD card already (like ransz28 mentioned above) then just boot into stock recovery and (using the volumes to navigate and the power button to select) click on 'Reinstall Packages'. It will cycle a bit and you will see that yellow text again then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again. You are now in CWR. Now you can flash your new ROM
If you get lost, don't have an update.zip, or want a step by step guide on flashing a new rom there's a guide for that to... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 Just start at "GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?"
Hello
i have rooted my Galaxy s3 with ODIN and with CF Root 6.4
The phone did reboot and shows SU and CWM
But if i go to Recovery mode in order to install a zip, there is no option to install a zip.
There is only Android System recovery and no CWM recovery.
What is wrong?

Do you have a International S3? Is usb debugging enabled on your phone? Clear cache and dalvik cache, reboot and try again.Uninstall current cwmmanager.apk in system/apps and reinstall cwm manager in system/ apps from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/4vfk5tmd7orgofx/CWMManager.apk.zip with root explorer. Reboot and try again, don`t forget to fix permissions in recovery.

Go to the superuser app and choose unroot in settings. Than reflash CF Root with Odin, that might fix it.

Well, here is a solution!
As you have said, you've flashed the kernel, have you downloaded ROM Manager, from Kousch?
If not. You may want to do that, and flash CWM via the app
For some reason, like with the Galaxy Necus, the kernels for our devices dojn't contain the recovery image. You have to flash seperatly (Mobile Odin or ROM Manager)
Good luck!

It may contain the CWM app, yet if he still has the stock recovery, then he has to flash it seperatly. I have had to do the same with every Odin-flashable kernel I've flashed on my GS(III)...

I think you are misstaking, on the nexus you have to push a recovery.img to the phone in fastboot mode, on samsung devices that is not needed. Flashing cf root installs superSU, busybox and cwm recovery.

I know. I had the GNexus I also have had a GSII, and an Omnia 7. I know which kernel does what. All I was saying, is that in all the kernels I've ever flashed, there never was an implemented recovery.img... (And I've flashed Siayh, CF Root and the N.E.A.K kernels...)
But never mind. Your way worked out just fine, according to the op. So I guess everything is sorted
Hi not allowed to post to developer area, so hope I can get help here. Thought I did everything right, sbf to stock 2.3.4, rooted, used clockworkmod recovery to back up, downloaded cm10, gapps, wiped,everything went to unzip rom and got a sd card error (system 7) had to sbf back to 2.3.4 again and redo everything, formatted sd card with phone, rerooted, downloaded tried again, same error. What did I do wrong?? I thought it would be pretty bulletproof. Used directions and a couple of youtube videos to help.
Kind of afraid to try again because its alot of work to get back. Is the problem with my sd card?, my phone, the downloads?? really want jellybean on my x2 hated the fact we didnt get upgraded to ICS
Any help would be greatly appreciated

the point was, that you couldn't have used cwm, because it doesn't work with dx2
we have bsr/system recovery, which looks and works like cwm
the question was how you got to where you wipe data
was it through system recovery app and wall charger or
android recovery through rom manager or boot options
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

the apk file I used for recovery was: MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk. is that the one I was supposed to use? Should I be using the patched version? I am on rooted stock 2.3.4 Yes, I selected install zip from sdcard.
not really an answer to my question, how you got to recovery
but yes that's the correct one
the zip may be corrupt, redownload and/or compare md5 checksums

tried again with a new sd card... downloaded zip file again, re backed up, checked the md5 got a match, went into recovery with the charger cable, wiped everything, installed zip from sd and got the same error message:
set_perm: some changes failed E:error in /sdcard/cm-10-20121007-unofficial-daytona.zip (Status 7) installation aborted
any ideas?
I don't understand why you are having problems.... from stock 2.3.4 boot into BSR... install CM10, install GApps, then wipe data and cache and reboot......
Just to clarify the bsr should be downloaded.. placed on the root of your SD card, install via a file manager like root explorer or anything similar... you should then have an app called system recovery. Open it and press install recovery, plug into a wall charger and press recovery mode...
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
If on stock rooted 2.3.4 follow this:
1. Download and install moto dx2 bsr
2. Click on system recovery in app drawer. It should be a grey background with dark grey droid.
3. Click install recovery. Should be first of 3. Select OK when notification says successfuly installed.
4. Plug in charger.
5. Select recovery mode.
6. Phone should power down and then boot into recovery.
7. Use volume controls to scroll down and select "backup and restore" with power button. Then select backup next, then select external.
8.When backup is finished. Wipe cache, dalvik cache and wipe data.
9. Chose install zip from SD card. Then chose install from external ,if that is where you have it.
10. Chose ROM and let install. After installed scroll down to " Go Back" and select.
11. Repeat step 9 and chose gapps package. Let install. After installed scroll down to "Go Back".
12. Select reboot system now.....Enjoy..
NEVER SELECT REBOOT RECOVERY....
Thought you were to wipe data and cache after installing the ROM anand GApps. That's how I've always done it.

I have always wipe before install. Wiping before so you have clean slate when you flash. I don't think it really matters

with a moto phone, it's not a bad idea to wipe before and after

You should try the flashable x2 recovery. Leave both on your sd card
Here's are the downloads, the re recovery zips are the flashable bsrs.

It's simple. In your last sentence "couldn't" should simply be replaced with won't. Not worth it to them, buy new stuff... that's their philosophy.
I tried updating Cyanogenmod but needed the new gapps, but unfortunately I installed the wrong one. Now I have no way to access my phone as I can only see "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". On top of that, whenever I try to boot into recovery to install the correct gapps, I am greeted by a blank screen. I have tried reinstalling the recovery with Odin and I am getting the same thing. Any help?

So after trying to completely wipe my GS3 and put it back to Stock before selling it, I think ive somehow managed to delete my current ROM and now cant boot.
It can enter recovery mode (CWM) and enter download mode and flash other recoveries throw Odin But I cant load a ROM back on.
I can't access the SD card and can't mount: /System, /preload, /external_sd, /sdcard
I tried sideloading throw ADB but it cant detect the device and Kies did recognize it when I tried a "firmware upgrade and initialization" but refused to work because of its 'current version' (or something like that)
Are there any recoveries that could help? can you flash a ROM directly throw Odin? (i cant seem to find any that work), how do I fix the storage mounting / folder tree?
i9305, CWM recovery v6.0.2.9 and was running CM 11, dont have any usable backups.
Thanks:good:
Go to sammobile and download the stock rom to your phone. If you want to put your phone totaly stock flash the stock recovery too
