Need help with "new" version of CWM for Fascinate

---

There's a new version of CWM in this link for the Froyo leak of Fascinate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499

I got Froyo just fine, but I just noticed as I'm trying to install a Froyo theme for Fascinate. I'm having trouble getting the new CWM Recovery to "take". Now when I go through ROM Manager to Reboot Into Recovery, it takes me to the stock recovery, but going to "Update.zip" makes a loading bar load about 1/4 of the bar, then it reboots, shows Samsung logo, and is back at stock recovery. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help? Is there any .TAR of the new CWM, so I can maybe use Odin to force it on? Thanks.

Get rid of the theme. That's probably the problem. And this should be posted under general or in the thread of whatever ROM you're using.

I'm not using a ROM, I'm trying to. I can't get into the new CWM recovery

This is the new recovery that you should be using now...

If you can't get to clockwork use the odin file

Oh good, I love Odin and I was hoping for such a file. I'll try this when I get home, thanks!

Posted this in another thread but this is how I did it.

Download the first file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021 and rename it recovery-update.zip put it in the clockworkmod folder on sd card, replacing the old recovery-update.zip.
Download the following file and place it at the root of your sd card, make sure its named update.zip.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17566514/update.zip use it to get into cwm.

Then boot to recovery, (apply update if you get blue writing, choose apply sdcard:update.zip). Once in green cwm choose to "install zip from sd card,"
navigate to your clockworkmod folder then choose the recovery-update.zip file.
Lastly go back to the main options and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip." you should be good to go now!


CWM should be red for now on, and should say voodoo lagfix.

Enjoy! I hope that clears things up!

I can't get past the blue I think when I get home I am odining everything back to normal

Taka, I don't have or want voodoo, does that make a difference?

Cwm red was optimized for voodoo, but this version works without it

This version says Voodoo but isn't, the programmer was to lazy to change that (or a voodoo update for froyo will be here soon). Also the bitmap error happens to everyone so don't worry about it.
