Latest version of CWM - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I currently have a the vibrant with 4.1 rom but an older CWM, It is 6.0.3.7 when I install an kitkat rom it would give me an error status 7. I guess I have to update CWM. What is the compatible version where I can update cwm? Thanks.

Was able to fix it. Flashed the fluid rom first. Then rebooted to an updated CWM 6.0.4.4 and then was able to install the 4.4 rom. Thanks.

The best is to flash recovery with fastboot to avoid the risk.
And I have aokp and no bootloop....

its not bricked, if it was bricked you can't even start the phone so no worries.
first make sure your phone is a gt9100, if it is try to flash something else (just for a test), or download a other rom, like slimsaber. Please give a report back :highfive:
You flash the CWM 6.0.4.5 (KK Compatible)?
Just use a up to to date CWM version. First, flash gustavo's Kitkat kernel, then flash a kitkat rom. For example, you cannot install a KK rom with 6.0.3.7 recovery. You need at least CWM 6.0.4.5 or TWRP 2.6.1, to be able to flash a KK rom. So, its not bricked or something.

Thank you all everyone to your kind replies and helping me out this problem,
has been solved by first flashing the gustavo's Kitkat kernel or kitkat Compatible Kernal
after that i can flash the KK rom
thanks thank you guys

Yep

Flashing a zip rom soft-bricks my phone

Hi,
I have rooted my alpha with cf-auto-root, installed TWRP recovery and disabled knox.
Now, any rom I'm trying to install from a zip file bricks my phone (and I can restore from a backup or can flash the stock rom with odin)
Why can't I install a zip?
Thanks!

Cant boot into Recovery with CM12.1

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100p with CM12.1-20151023-NIGHTLY-i9100
I was recently on CM11 with CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery and everything worked as it should but since upgrading to CM12.1 I have been unable to boot in CWM recovery, it just takes me into the stock recovery. I've tried reflashing the CWM img but it has no effect.
Is this version of CWM not compatible with Lollipop? Can anyone tell me a version that will work?
I would also like to try TWRP but unsure which image to use, can anyone recommend one?
Thanks
Steven

The recovery is bundled with the kernel in the S2. CM12.1 has CM recovery by default. The only way you can have a different recovery is to flash a compatible custom kernel. You could try the TWRP kernel from at the beginning of the CM12.1 thread or Dorimanx kernel that gsstudios builds
Thanks, where is the CM12.1 thread, I'm not sure which one you're referring to?
