First learn how to write useful thread title/subject. Also, you have that written in the rules, which you supposed to read.

99% of people come here because they need help, so writing "help"(or other variations) in thread title is kinda useless, don't you think.

Also, open your eyes, one thing you need is in front of you, just need to read.

EDIT

There are two phone models

Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V

Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959

The one without the V is the Vibrant. Wow Samsung. That was confusing. Phone model is Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V which NOT the Vibrant.

Answer to my own question:

The "Fully Stock One-Click" solution to revert Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V to its factory state. It includes:

Repartitioning: Repartition to stock KJ6 [UVKJ6 Android Gingerbread 2.3.6 Firmware]

Reloading: IBL/PBL, SBL, SBL2, PARAM, Kernel, Recovery, FactoryFS, Data, and Modem.

Formatting: Cache and DBdata

Use this code to format the SD Card *2767*3855#

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tea...T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar/download

1. Make sure Visual Studio C++ runtime, Java SE Runtime Environment and drivers are installed under Windows.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

http://firon.net/xda/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

http://firon.net/xda/Samsung_Mobile_Driver_V1.3.800_For_SPH-d700_Epic_4G.zip

2. Press and hold USB icon in upper left corner then slide it down to get Notifications displayed > TAP on USB Connected > Turn on USB storage > OK > Your SD Card is accessible from your computer now.

[Do the same and TAP on Turn off USB storage to disconnect the phone from computer.]

3. Make sure to remove the /sdcard/Voodoo directory from your SD Card.

4. Power off your phone.

5. Take your USB cable and plug it into the computer ONLY, not the phone.

5. Hold down both the volume up and down at the same time then plug in the USB cable to your phone with the other hand. Keep holding the volume up and down buttons until you see the Download mode green [Warning!!] message.

5. Press Volume Up button to see" [Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!]

6. Copy T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar to C drive then type this inside DOS prompt to start the process.

C:

java -jar T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar

7. Click on [Flash] > You will get a window that instructs you what to do > OK > to click on Options > List All Devices > From drop down menu, Select: SAMSUNG USB Composite Device > Replace Driver > Wait for it to finish > Close > Close the [Replace Driver] Window.

8. Now you should be able to click on [Flash] again and revert to factory state.

9. The phone will automatically reboot.

After running this program, the device should revert to factory state.

END EDIT

=========

Phone was rooted using SuperOneClick and is running T-Mobile Android 2.3.6. I would like to back it up before installing CyanogenMod.

ClockworkMod is installed but I get the error: signature verification failed ClockworkMod

I understand I need to get CF-Root Kernel for T-Mobile Galaxy S 4G Vibrant to be able to backup default OS using ClockworkMod? Which files are needed to do that for Galaxy S 4G Vibrant?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Saying vibrant gives me a bad feeling in my stomach. Please take your battery out and confirm the model number says: SGH-T959V

If so, Just say Galaxy S 4G. Saying Vibrant causes unrest in this forum. Too many bricks.

Which version do you see at the top of recovery?

When you say ClockworkMod, do you mean Rom Manager or the ClockworkMod Recovery? Rom Manager doesn't work on the SGH-T959V.

Sorry, just trying to clear up some terminology before we make mistakes ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
SGH-T959V

FCC ID: A3LSGHT959V

I thought that the term 'Vibrant' is just a name to distinguish T-Mobile as the carrier of the Galaxy S 4G phone.

GOAL:

1. While using the phone, start an app and tell it to save the current ROM.

2. The phone reboots and saves it to your SSD card.

I was using this to accomplish that

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager

But upon reboot on the SGH-T959V, I get the error: signature verification failed ClockworkMod

I thought that in order to not get this error, I would need CF-Root Kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Stickied: Don't use rom manager aka rom mangler!!! Thanks management!!!

Please use the backup in your recovery, not any user-land application.

Especially if you are coming off GB, you might want to read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897227 for some suggestions on how to back up and restore. Most GB "system" data is not binary-compatible with ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
Thank you. What does the acronym GB stand for? Edit: I think you are referring to Android 2.3 version on phone, thanks. When you say don't use the app, can you use the App on CyanogenMod 7.2 which I plan to install on the Galaxy S 4G or are you just advising against it on the native ROM?

The link in the quote below appears to only lead to some internet petition, do you have another link?

What is the exact command to use with Terminal Emulator (if it can be used) to push the file to /system/bin as instructed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
GB is "Gingerbread"

You don't need to flash CWM any more. Use the Heimdall One-Click instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
Thank you. My goals for phone Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V are:

Backup current default T-Mobile 2.3.6 ROM onto SD card.

Backup CyanogenMod 7.2 after it is installed onto SD card.

1. Does Heimdall One-Click allow me to backup T-Mobile ROM 2.3.6 if the phone is rooted? Which software is used for this if not https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager?

2. Can ROM Manager ClockworkMod be used on CyanogenMod 7.2 or is your advice against it only for T-Mobile native ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Backup your data as described in the thread I linked -- Titanium Backup and potentially other tools for Contacts, SMS/MMS, call logs

Do not use ROM Manager. Period.

There is no need, in my mind, to back up the stock "ROM" (in contrast to your data), since there is a one-click that restores your phone to "stock."
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
You make a good point about stock ROM for most people, but is the one click-option to return to Native available *after* CyanogenMod is installed?

But to rephrase my original intent:

To preserve all custom settings and installs, ideally I would like to to simply start an app, the phone reboots, reimages, and boots right into either Native ROM or CyanogenMod, can imaging process be started *from* inside both Native and Cayanogen ROMs?

I understand you are saying not to use this under any circumstances on Galaxy S 4G: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager

Once again, my goal is not to simply backup contacts, my goal is a complete system image - containing all settings, fonts, apps and contacts - just like imaging an OS partition on Windows. You mentioned Titanium Backup, is this what I should use to accomplish that:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

I am trying to apply the same approach I use on the PC: it takes me less time to reimage my complete operating system partition than it takes time for a short bathroom break. Slightest Windows hickup and I nuke the entire partition and reimage. Simply trying to do that on the phone, setup everything just like I want it to be then create images for stock and native and launch the reimage process with just one click.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
You'll have to flash just a GB kernel first, one that has root and recovery built in. You can make a "nandroid" backup from that.That backup can only restore your GB state over a GB ROM.

You won't be able to go from any MTD ROM (any ICS, some recent GB) to BML (stock GB) because the "disk partitioning" is different without flashing "back-to-stock" first. (Namely, your GB nandroid backup can't be used if you are partitioned using MTD.)

You won't be able to just restore an image of your data from GB to an ICS ROM without corrupting things horribly.

If you're not comfortable, I would follow the steps I gave in the thread I linked. It goes step by step and should give you confidence that you can flash and migrate data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
What you're looking for is nandroid backups which you can create and restore from recovery.

However the current problem with that is the BML vs MTD file systems(unsure about the terminology here) between the stock Samsung rom and it's variants and the cyanogen based roms.

Currently the only method to go back from MTD is to one-click back to BML and then restore a nandroid for that.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498

This is currently the easiest method to go back to BML, the one-click by eollie has the latest kernel with the correct cwm to flash over to MTD but you can't restore a nandroid from one to the other.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
OK, check. Flash Kernels, then reimage Native or Cyanogen Mods accordingly only after flashing Kernels.

Before installing CyanogenMod, with the current Kernel being native, can I use any app to image? Can Titanium Backup do it?

In other words, I will go through the linked information in detail of course, but if I may just ask you, can this be a one-two process of:

1. Flash Kernel

2. Use Titanium Backup from within Native and CyanogenMod ROMs. (any other app suggestions for this, I'd like to sample a few to see which one is best for me?)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Image -- no -- your phone is supposed to be "locked down" when you got it from the carrier. This means no low-level access to users. Titanium Backup does not image, it creates backups of the files. (You could do it using 'nix command-line tools, but not only it is a bad idea to image a filesystem on a running system, but also it doesn't sound like you're a' nix user.)

Again, you can't restore a BML "nandroid" backup on an MTD filesystem or vice versa. For that matter, you can't easily restore a Clockwork Recovery backup using TWRP or vice versa and, last I checked, you couldn't restore selected partitions using Clockwork Recovery (though TWRP will).

Backup? Not really. Most backup programs require root access.

Other apps instead of Titanium Backup? There really isn't any other Android app that an experienced user would go with these days, as far as I know. For that matter, I would guess a majority of the "serious" users have purchased the "Pro" version.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
This doesnt require root access. But it is limited to what you can do.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro

c627627 follow what jeff is suggesting. Currently in a unrooted state you are very limited to what you can do and pretty much what you are asking is impossible until you gain root access. You can flash antonx heimdall one click and get root access and shouldnt lose your current settings. But you might have to set everything up again so be prepared.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
But te very first sentence of this thread is telling you that my phone is rooted.

My phone is rooted. I am not sure if you missed that or if you are referring to other limitations. On my Motorola Cliq, I use this to quickly image CyanogenMod with just one tap: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager

If it is the same version of CyanogenMod, is it something in the hardware of the phone that has changed now so that with older phones you could of that and with newer ones you cannot?

I am definitely only interested in full scale operating system backup only, so Titanium backup would not work for me. I want every setting in every app, every setting and every option I set on the phone backed just like I make CyanogenMod 7.2 backups on my Motorola Cliq now.

So specifically, initial points of confusion are:

Why can I back up old Motorola Cliq rooted phone but not the rooted Galaxy S 4G using one tap backup?

I think we need to establish if you were mistaken about my phone not being rooted or if you are talking about Native ROM vs CyanogenMod backup options. Are all the replies above about unrooted phones?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
On a stock phone, even if rooted, you don't have a recovery that lets you make an image backup.

All phones are different. What works on one won't necessarily work on another. The SGS4G is very different, even from other Samsung phones.

Unless you flash a kernel and recovery, you're not going to be able to do an image backup.

At this point I'd read the "Before you flash anything..." post and the Heimdall one-click threads. What you may know from another phone isn't how the SGS4G works.

Once again, do not use ROM Manager.

I think you should re-examine why you are flashing anything and how much reading and understanding you need to complete before you try.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
Thanks. That clarifies it. Since other posters were using the term 'unrooted' I did not know whether they understood that the phone is rooted.

I will not use the ROM manager with this phone at all. I now understand that there is no App that would backup the phone's operating system, regardless if it is native or CyanogenMod.

I will take time reading the linked threads to figure out the best way to create/restore images.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Once you have custom recovery installed, you'll be able to do image backups.

However, an Android app can't reliably do an image backup as it can't stop filesystem writes.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
I am assuming that after "custom recovery is installed" - image backups are done by holding the three buttons and entering some menu and starting the image/reimage process?

I read the link you posted. It is to fully restore the device to its factory state. I rewrote the linked page to make it a three step easy to follow process. I'll figure out how to get the custom recovery installed next.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
If you have a stock (or mainly stock) ROM installed, you need to get into "recovery mode" on boot. The "guaranteed" way into recovery is to press and hold VolUp and VolDn at the same time, while holding them, press the Power key until you see the boot sequence start, release Power, and release VolUp/VolDn once you see recovery start. On many custom ROMs, there is an option when you long-press the Power key and get the pop-up menu. You can also do that on a rooted phone that is connected to your computer with adb by using $ adb reboot recovery (for any ROM, I believe).

Sounds like you're well on your way! Now all we have to do is get you off Windows and on to Linux ;)

Installing CyanogenMod 7.2 on Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Vibrant:_Full_Update_Guide

What is the meaning of the initial step: On the computer, open the terminal and run the following command from the SDK directory:

adb shell mkdir -p /sdcard/Voodoo

adb shell touch /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix

Why is it necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Looks like it disables some of the features of Voodoo, one of which is "lagfix" which, if enabled, saves your data, reformats the partitions from Samsung's proprietary FAT-based RFS (as I recall), to ext4, then restores your data to the newly formatted partition. Many believe that ext4 is significantly faster than RFS.

That is the wrong wiki for this phone. The proper link is in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
eollie, thank you kindly for noticing this mistake and for letting me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
no problem would hate to see a paper weight after all the time you have put into researching. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
Even though the first person responding to this thread tried to warn me, there was no way to realize how disturbingly bad Samsung's Marketing Dept is. I mean to have

Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959 and

Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V

and then to ask which one of the two is the Vibrant?

10/10 people are going to go with the one that ends with V.

There's no explanation for that. Whoever was in charge at Samsung over there should not be. To that point, I was looking to get that new Galaxy with the keyboard and then they released two press releases contradicting each other about which processor was going to be in there. And in each and every article mentioning it on the entire World Wide Web, every single article author spent paragraphs of space talking about Samsung's moronic naming structure for this new Galaxy device with keyboard.

In the end I opted to just get an old used Galaxy S 4G and not buy any of their new phones. None of them warranted spending so much on their artificially high prices.

Thank you for saving me from a ton of frustration. It would have sucked big time you didn't catch it and if I went ahead and bricked it as a result.

What? What does that mean? No links or explanation of what that is or how to actually do it. A lot of time is spent by a lot of people doing unsuccessful Searches trying to figure that out. Can anyone please post some more details. I am assuming it has to do with item 3: a kernel with ClockwordMod Recovery (CWM) 5.0.2.x or greater. But there are no links or explanations on how or where to get that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
You use the three finger method of holding vol +/- together and power with the phone off. Or if you have adb installed from a command prompt type adb reboot recovery.

Red cwm is the color of one of the versions. However most of the new kernels have the blue cwm which is the newest recovery. So the color doesnt matter too much. If the version says 5.x.x.x then you are good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
So with rooted but still stock ROM, you do the three finger reboot. OK, but then what? It says "do a backup of your current ROM"

So do a backup of my stock ROM? Don't you need to select an option that would allow you to do a backup?

When and how do you need/install and use "a kernel with ClockwordMod Recovery (CWM) 5.0.2.x or greater. (3.0.2.8 will NOT work)"

Also, do we need to change file name "cm-7-20120704-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd.zip" to "update.zip"?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
In recovery there is a backup/restore option use that.

If your current recovery is 3.x.x.x then download the kernel from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1828171

Boot to recovery and install it. Then select advanced and reboot recovery that will put you on 5.x.x.x.

As for renaming no the only reason to rename a rom zip is to shorten it. You can't flash update.zip that is not official from samsung/t-mobile because they use a special signing process. To flash a rom you select install zip from sdcard and then navigate to the file.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] c627627:
Thank you for your reply. Android system recovery <3e> is what it says on mine and I assume every native updated ROM.

How would anyone possibly know how and where to get that update, do you agree that they should link to that since no one is going to have anything other than 3e going from stock?

So then this is what people need to download before doing anything else, correct?:
