CWM Not working

---

I installed Rom Manager and then downloaded the recovery for Samsung galaxy s2. When hit reboot into recovery. I am unable to perform any operations in CWM. I had to connect the phone via usb and issue a "adb reboot" command to get back.

How do we make cwm work.

Also must people are having issues flashing in cwm after using ROM manager. If you try installing from cwm and get verification error you needed to flash again then kernel and don't use ROM manager

Flashed CWM and nothing is happening

I flashed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3 using the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1285823. However, when i go into CWM and select something the only thing that happens is the logo for CWM shows up with a black screen. When I push the power button again it will go back to the list.I am using the stock rom and it hasn't even been rooted yet. When I try to root using super one click, it gets stuck at step #5. Please Advise.

Dont use Rom Manager. It is known to have issues with the S2

I use CWM Manager and have no problems.....

The key mapping is different. I had the same issue. Try the home key to select in place of the power button and the back key for back

Also if not rooted I do not think CWM will work...
Use this by Entropy512 it is flawless.

Root is having access to root account in os. It has nothing to do with cwm since cwm is loaded before the os loads.

They are irrelevant

In addition, all of our CWM-enabled kernels are "insecure" kernels - They give root at all times to ADB sessions, this is why SuperOneClick works after flashing them.

But only ADB sessions get root, so you use the "rooted" ADB shell to root the system partition. After that you've got perma-root until you nuke su and Superuser.apk from /system

I think I am confused again?

When I flash a kernel, I have root. I have never used super one click. Just flashed your kernel. I thought that is what gave me root? Are you saying I still do not have root for /system files? Or does your kernel push su and superuser when it is flashed?
