this question should definitely go in the General section or in the Clockwork Recovery thread, just so you know

if you are in stock recovery, you can get into Clockwork by choosing 'reinstall packages', provided that you have followed the instructions in the CWM thread and: 1) replaced the recovery in system/bin with the modified recovery binary from the thread, and 2) placed the update.zip from the thread on the root of your sdcard.

or u can follow sduvick mod on krylon thread

nice! I didn't know he made a script for flashing CWM.

Can someone tell me why every time I try to flash a new rom on my daughters sk4g in recovery it goes straight to the screen with reinstall packages so I pick it and it errors out and can't go further???

What rom are you flashing, and how are you flashing it?

You probably need to visit the Recovery CWM thread and either manually replace the recovery in system/bin with the modified one and put the update.zip(clockworkmod) on the root of you sdcard... Or use sduvick's script in the thread to do those 2 things for you. Then when you reinstall packages it will take you to Clockwork Recovery.

I cant get passed the WipeData/factoryreset.

replaced recovery in System/Bin
Update.zip in root of SD.

this is what i get
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

then thats where it freezes then i gotta restore using ODIN.
any help would be greatly appreciated (:

are you wiping data in the blue stock recovery, or in the orange ClockworkMod recovery?
