[Vibrant Android Development] Nayyak:
My problem started couple of days ago when I noticed that ROM Manager doesn't not reboot into recovery mode when I click on "Reboot into Recovery Mode." It just reboots the system. If I want to get into recovery mode, I have to do it manually (holding the volume keys....)

Then I tried to see if ADB can do it (adb reboot recovery). I found out that ADB cannot do it either. all it does is rebooting the phone normally. I still can push files, install apk-s, shell...etc.

My phone works fine, I haven't noticed any other problem other than this one.

My system settings are in the signature. Last MOD I have used was the Accurate Battery Icon.

I am planing to flash my phone with Flashable Stock JK6 - Froyo 2.2 ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857974

I don't know how to Reboot into Clockwork, can anybody help me here how to flash this ROM please?
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Keep reinstalling packages until it reboots into clockwork. It usually takes 2 times for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] s10shane:
so how do u get back to the stock recovery? i am unrooting my phone and trying to get rid of the clockwork recovery and put it back to the stock recovery and it wont go away.
[Vibrant Android Development] survivor_evil:
I flashed the stock recovery to the clockwork one. I think something went wrong. When I open rom manager it shows me I have Clockwork mod recovery, but if I restart the phone in recovery mode, the stock recovery pops up. What can I do ?
[Vibrant Android Development] danow11:
reinstall packages
[Vibrant Android Development] survivor_evil:
mmm how do I do that?

Id also like to be able to flash to stock recovery. thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] zainasif:
hey guys i am having probem installing recovery. After downloading rom manager i downloaded recovery for my samsung vibrant. Now in recovery i clicked on reinstall packages i am getting this error

" Failed to verify whole-file signature "

" Signature verification failed"

I am on firmware 2.2.
[Vibrant Android Development] DaveJeep:
I have the same problem on 2.2

On my I9000M I had to flash a custom kernel to get CWR. Is there another way around this? I don't want to flash another kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] NtilUrEarsBleed:
Same issue here as well... Can not load anything, just recovery, but everything i do fails.
[Vibrant Android Development] kikbot:
Anybody having problems on 2.2 follow the method detailed by untermensch in this thread. This works for me everytime, I really should make a script to make it easier but it takes less than 2 mins to push root and recovery.

[Vibrant Android Development] IllusiveDreams:
Im actually having a problem downloading ROM Manager from the Market. Im using Eugene's Macnut R14 ROM but that didnt come with ROM Manager preloaded. When I try to download from the market it just hangs at downloading 100%. I cant get it to move past that.

Any ideas on who to fix or can someone link the .apk for this?

*EDIT* Nevermind. No sooner that I posted this and restarted the download for the dozenth time, it worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Yep I really wish I could get it fixed, but I'm not smart enough :D

It does however work on my buddies Motorola Droid running 2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] manekDC2_:
strange thing happend to me last nigh

i am running 2.2 on Anderdroid's AOSP JK2 v1.1 with Supercurio's voodoo 5+JK2 lagfix kernel

so... last nite i used the clockworkmod rom manager app and reflashed v 2.5.1.2 recovery rom twice, then went I rebooted into recovery I had some awesome new recovery rom that read v 2.5.1.3 voodoo with all red text and it had voodoo lagfix options and all

weird thing is that rom manager app was only seeing v 2.5.1.2 and not .3 like i saw in recovery...

so i then tinkered a bit more and rebooted a few times and then finally i flashed the recovery rom again using the app and when i rebooted into recvovery the new .3 rom with the red text went away and back to version 2.5.1.2

how do i get 2.5.1.3 back....? cant find it anywheres :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] kikbot:
The Lagfix Kernel has 2.5.1.3 built into it. Rom Manager is looking at the update.zip in the root of your SD card. If you reinstall updates in recovery you will load the 2.5.1.2 version. I get the 2.5.1.3 by selecting recovery from the shutdown menu.
[Vibrant Android Development] BaoQ:
I just download Rom Manager, and when I click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery, nothing happen. Can someone help me?

I already rooted.
[Vibrant Android Development] kayroccs:
i second baoq on that but im thinking the server is down because i went to Clockworkmod official website and i see there doing some repairing
[Vibrant Android Development] dalastrelic:
same here its rather quite annoying...
[Vibrant Android Development] lkt01071:
Same thing here I was just odining back to stock then install eugene's ginger clone but now I can't flash the rom until the server is back up!!

Any other way around guys? I have even tried to copied my old backed up downloaded CW files and try to flash it and still nothing happens =/
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
Having the same issue. I tried to use rom manager to go from macnut to axura but keeps getting signature verification errors.
[Vibrant Android Development] IllusiveDreams:
I also Odin'n back to stock so I could flash Eugene's Ginger clone but Im getting nothing from ROM Manager. I dont know of another way to get it either. This is very annoying!
[Vibrant Android Development] daenigma:
I weep, I click flash clockwork recovery and nothing happens...

I am guessing the server is offline or something is messed up server side.
[Vibrant Android Development] tommy p:
Fwiw, I was having the same problem, so after looking for forever I found this site, go there

koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries

dl your .zip for the phone

put it at the root of sdcard/

rename to update.zip

reboot in recovery mode

reinstall packages...TWICE

and thats what worked for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] IllusiveDreams:
I can verify that it works as I just did it myself. Thanks for the heads up tommy p.
[Vibrant Android Development] daenigma:
Worked for me as well, but many so many versions... I just picked the newest revision.
[Vibrant Android Development] shalom24:
Thanks for the link Tommy p; worked for me! (And thanks everyone else for all the info.. Hopefully I'll have a solid backup soon!)
[Vibrant Android Development] Damonkashu:
ah I thought I was the only one experiencing this issue.

Knowing others are suffering the same problem means I didn't horribly mess something up. On the other hand, I want to get Nero v.1 right now!

So flashing recovery requires use of servers then? is there no way to flash recovery offline?

EDIT: Never mind! I will try what previous posters are suggesting!
[Vibrant Android Development] j0hnZ:
If it was already on the phone then you wouldn't need to use a program, you would just reinstall packages twice like you do now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Franklin!:
Im seeing like 10 different ones on the page and have tried with 2 differnet once, and reinstalled twice, but its not working. any other suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] cvibe88:
DL 2.5.1.2

Cheers!
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
i tried that version i re-installed it twice didnt work :(, im sort of confused do u delete the original update zip in the internal sd? or do u keep it? and i still am getting the stable connection error when try to flash clockworkmod revory :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] tommy p:
If you need or have yet to unzip the update.zip file, don't delete it, you can temporarily rename it or move it. And it may take a couple more than two times.

However I don't think the proven that everyone was having is still there. Try instilling rom manager completely, then reinstalling. After you have it installed again you should be able to flash cwr, and the newest version is now 2.5.1.3 for the vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
i wish we had a permanent recovery.

:(
[Vibrant Android Development] tommy p:
Oh to everyone who said thanks, sorry it took so long to get back, but youre all welcome. After 20 some odd mins of trying to find the driver, I had a stroke of genius and went to my su file manager and looked in the html and sorted through the millions of different sites til I found the one for the vibrant, I was worried that I had messed up something, do I'm glad I could help
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:

[Vibrant Android Development] techspy:
Guys, I cant boot into recovery. It just gets stuck at the Vibrant screen and I have to pull the battery, reboot etc with usb connected.

From stock rom I installed AOSP ish JK2 1.1, installed OCLF, installed all my apps etc and ROM Manager. Flashed 2.5.1.2 (twice).

When trying to get into recovery via "reboot into recovery" from Rom Manager or with the vol u/d, pwr button, It just hangs at the Vibrant screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

EDIT: I can see the time stamp on update.zip corresponds to the time when I click "Flash Clockwork Recovery" so that seems correct. Tired installing busybox from teh market, didn't fix it.

Guessing the server is down, does anyone have a downloaded zip to share for the vibrant?

koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries

does not work.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] AndroidOS.FTW:
Thank you very much for this simple, but powerful management app, Koush. I have a question for you though. Maybe it's a character flaw but, I like having more control over what's happening during a given process. I have no issues/problem entering recovery mode (volume up/down and power) manually so, if I wanted to go the old, slow route for flashing this and that without using your app (still will use it but I like to know/have alternatives) what barebones files would I need to download to the local storage (/sdcard), where must they reside (root of /sdcard?, /system/bin?) and once there, is the process still as straight forward as boot in to recovery (should display CWM interface), navigate to file you want to flash and run?

Again, thank you very much for this app, all that you do for development and for so freely sharing your knowledge with those of us (far) less knowledgable.
[Vibrant Android Development] FriendlyCanadian:
I had the same problem (phone continually stuck on "samsung vibrant" and could not access download mode so Odin detected the COM but since phone was not in download mode, Odin would freeze at "setup connection"). Check the link below for how I solved it. You need Android SDK for this work. If your computer detects a USB connection from the phone, that is all you need to make SDK force your phone into download mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836815&page=6

If this method doesn't work, then scroll to page 2 or 3 of the link above for the physical way of making your phone get into download mode (You need to create a custom JIG)

Hope this helps you out.
[Vibrant Android Development] AndroidOS.FTW:
While I have yet to flash a full ROM, I recently flashed the Mobile AP to my rooted, still mostly stock JI6 U.S. Vibrant. I experienced a similar issue on my first attempt but, after reading the error I suspected the issue was the location I had saved the file to was the external micro SD card (/sdcard/sd). I rebooted to the normal operating environment, used Astro file manager (use what you like) and moved the folder to the local device storage (/sdcard), booted back into CWM, found the folder, selected the .zip file and flashed with no issues our errors. As a note, the first boot after the flash did take longer than normal but, I expected this after reading about the likelyhood of this on the forums.

I see you have stored your files to the external micro SD card (/sdcard/sd) as well so, try moving the files to the local device storage (/sdcard) and see if that works. I hope that helps.

Hi, so I actually have an htc legend but I'm trying to help my friend with a Bell Samsung Vibrant root his phone to run custom roms and have been having some trouble. We successfully rooted his phone using the superoneclick root method, but when trying to flash clockworkmod recovery we kept on getting the following error:

-- Install from package...

Finding update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

-- Appling Muti-CSC...

Installing Multi-CSC

Installation aborted.

No matter how many times I tried to 'reinstall packages' it just wouldn't work. Now one issue could be the fact that the phone is running the OTA froyo and not the 2.1 stock that came with the phone. Could that be the problem? And if so, is it possible to flash cwm recovery without having to factory reset? I'd really like to be able to do a nandroid backup before switching roms.

Try opening cwm and and clicking on "flash clockwork mod recovery" the very first option. It'll then prompt you to select your phone model and download the update.
[Vibrant Android Development] sotelomichael:
does any one have that update.zip that clockwork flashes on a samsung vibrant? The reason I ask is because my internet is down at the moment and there's no way to create the update file from clockworkmod without a connection. I hope someone can share the file! Thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] sotelomichael:
ok.... can anyone help? I mean I have internet on my computer, just no wifi to connect my phone. Is there anywhere I can download the required clockworkmod update zip without it coming from the android market? I mean, can I download it from my pc somewhere???

I hear that the new recovery doesn't support unsigned files and thats why it isn't working. From what I read you have to flash your phone with odin back to 2.1 and then run clockworkmod.
[Vibrant Android Development] klokom:
signature

just disable signature verification
[Vibrant Android Development] dlzp:
How do you disable signature verification
[Vibrant Android Development] dlzp:
from what I read you need clockworkmod to disable the signature verification check and you can't install clockworkmod until you disable signature verification. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] yotadriver:
OK, I'm posting here as a last resort. I searched through forum threads and searched google for half the day yesterday. Perhaps I'm missing something simple and you guys can help me out.

I rooted the stock 2.1 vibrant using z4root, purchased and installed ROM manager premium and flashed clockwork recovery (with the understanding that the update.zip stays on the SD card and I must reinstall package each time to enter it). All this seems to work fine.

The issue is that I cannot flash a new ROM (nero 5). i have tried installing through ROM manager and booting into Clockwork recovery and choosing to install .zip from SD card. The backup and data wipe process works but when it begins to install the ROM the process is aborted saying it cannot find the file. The .zip is in the root of the SD card and is not named "update".

I am able to create and install the blackhole 1.1 ROM using ROM manager which works fine. If I try to install any other update, I'm unable to restore a nandroid because I cannot load Clockwork recovery, even after selecting reinstall package. At this point I have to restore using Odin.

If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. If you need a screen shot of the error I can recreate it and post it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
Your problem is simple. When you go into cwr select install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card. Navigate to the zip file with the volume rocker and select it with the power button. You're selecting apply sd card: update.zip. That won't work.

edit: nero v5 zip file
[Vibrant Android Development] tmp_157:
Simply OUTSTANDING!!

less than ten days after an official release and there is a two-minute root and a tearless recovery.

Stock Recovery failed to recoginize that update.zip was on /sdcard the first go around. Rebooted, ensured update.zip was actually there, followed the steps once again and it worked flawessly...even the ext3 on my external...

Great work on this! I have a little problem. I'm not getting the su prompt and it won't install the recovery. I'm using the donate version. I verified su is still working by forgetting permissions for a file manager. When I started it, it asked for su and worked. I've reinstalled Rom Manager and it still doesn't prompt. Rebooted also and it's not in the su list. Anyone seeing this or have any ideas?
