Root I *CANNOT* boot into ClockWork recovery!

I am on a rooted Samsung Vibrant running CWM 2.5.1.2. I cannot boot into CWM's recovery. I tried flashing CWM again and again, but I didn't work. I tried reinstalling packages at least 5 times and nothing. I just boot into the normal recovery. It worked the very first time I tried it, right after I rooted it and I installed CWM for the first time, then I had to reinstall packages twice.
 
Check and make sure you still have superuser access. You may need to re-root your phone. Also make sure you have a good version of busybox installed. The simplest way to go about all of this is with super-one-click and Titanium backup.

I used super-one-click to root my phone. I am using the latest version of busybox. I have given ROM Manager superuser access. I reinstalled ROM Managed. I deleted the clockworkmod folder and update.zip and installed CWM again. I have tried re-rooting twice with no success. What's the problem? It worked the very first time I rooted. But why not now?
 
use odin go back 2.1 stock then flash,i have the same problem b4, and i use this way and it work!
But I'm running Froyo. Should I go back to 2.2 with Odin? I don't want to downgrade to 2.1. Sorry, I'm a noob to the Android scene, where would I get the stock 2.2 file?
 
You could also see if another version of CWM works for you. Go in to ROM Manager and the very last option is something like "Flash Older Versions of Clockwork Mod"

Try that out and see if it works.
