Alright, I'm sorry it took me so long to actually try this out. I got the CWM Recovery zip, named it update.zip and placed it on the internal storage and again on the sd card, when I boot into Android Recovery 2e, there is no apply update from sd option. Any help?

I apologize in advance, but I have rooted my N1 and S2 in minutes and never had this many problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] e495957:
I'm assuming this has been updated in-app as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] migui0401:
Can I flash a CM 10.1 rom with this recovery or is there a new version of this recovery by someone? I'm new to this device.
[Vibrant Android Development] da0ne:
Worked great u guys rock keep up the good work
[Vibrant Android Development] popypopy:
Worked, did nandroid backup, all set for whatever customs roms are to come. Thanks! Bought Rom Manager!
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
Extreme NooB here when it comes to all this root/rom stuff. I'm on my first rooted device, and still trying to get a better understanding of this.

Can someone explain to me really quick what this clockwork recovery is, and what its used for? Is it safe?
[Vibrant Android Development] BigWorldJust:
It is safe now :). Now you can flash ROMs and the sort without having to go through the risky process of Odin and bricking your phone. This is much safer, and allows one to flash things with ease.
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
worked like a charm! Great job Koushik, will buy the paid version of rom manager soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
After step 4 I saw a green status bar run across my screen really fast. Does this mean that I'm good to go, or do I need to do more steps from here? Sorry, new at this, and just want to make sure that I'm doing everything right on my end.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
So if we use ROM Manager, we don't have to keep the update.zip on the sdcard? Otherwise, how would we flash roms if we can't have multiple update.zip's?
[Vibrant Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Yeah now reboot into Recovery using ROM Manager, and you should see it saying a few prompts. After it is done click Reinstall packages and the Recovery will pop up. You can then reboot back into your regular phone. You are good to go :).
[Vibrant Android Development] Live2Follow:
Since I have done this my screen isn't responsive after going into standby. I'm not sure if it is related. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] BigWorldJust:
My screen is still responsive.
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
I did reboot into recovery, and now I'm on a screen with some green writing...

-reboot system now

-apply sdcard:update.zip

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cashe partition

-install zip from sdcard

-nandroid

-partitions menu

-advanced

-****Go Back****

Which one do I pick?
[Vibrant Android Development] the3dman:
With clockwork recovery you can flash any zip file so you keep the update.zip file on your card and put the rom on the sd card with it named somethingdifferent.zip
[Vibrant Android Development] bubonik:
Can someone with a tmo shipped rom wipe their phone and post the nandroid.
[Vibrant Android Development] stillyone:
Yes please..pleeease..!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Oh you are good than WilliamStern. You can just reboot back into your regular phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
This would help a ton of us out who flashed the initial beta releases and lost our stuff. Please.
[Vibrant Android Development] WilliamStern:
Yup, I got it man. Thanks for the help. Sorry for acting like a noob. This is all new to me. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] stillyone:
That's what I'm saying, these restart getting annoying, every time I turn on wifi it's getting rebooted. t-mo sync is driving me nuts plus all thouse scanning media lugz the phone like no tomorrow
[Vibrant Android Development] zenlakin:
Excellent work Koush!! I just did mine and it worked like a champ!!! Nandroid backup running as I type this!!
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Just feel I need to echo everyone else, great work, and I bought the premium version to show my support too.

cheers =)
[Vibrant Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Np, glad I could help :D.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
Internal or external sd? Or would either work?
[Vibrant Android Development] fordstang99:
i did a nandroid backup just fine but when i goto do the nandroid restore it tells says:

Checking MD5 sums...

Restoring System...

Can't unmount /system/!
[Vibrant Android Development] Aphotix:
Use the internal sd
[Vibrant Android Development] ryanolson7:
does anyone have the update.zip that gets you into the clockwork recovery manually?
[Vibrant Android Development] Koush:
ROM Manager automatically places it there for you if you press Flash Recovery. But if you really want, it is available at my website.

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
[Vibrant Android Development] ryanolson7:
Thanks a lot :]

i would have just got it from Rom manager.. but the firmware on my phone is the one from MS_guru and for some reason it won't connect to my wifi or detect a mobile network lol
[Vibrant Android Development] degeneration:
So now my phone keeps doing quick reboots... The screen goes black, it becomes completely unresponsive for about 30 seconds, then the softkeys light up, then it pops back up searching for a network, the scans the media card and checks the time and date... I was back to stock before flashing to the recovery because I tried using a beta and my phone didn't like it... it seems to happen every minute or so... and sometimes when it comes back, it goes right to what I was doing, but usually it goes back to the home screen and beautiful widget has to reload... bah, maybe even though I spent a lot of last night reinstalling all my apps i might just have to wipe and start over again... oh well... I didn't get much time to set most of them up any way...
[Vibrant Android Development] Live2Follow:
I had the same problem. I did a factory reset. I still have the recovery installed, but it is working again for the time being.

Did you happen to also install the LEDNotify app? I have no idea what was causing it. I only posted in this thread, because it was the last thing I did before it started happening. I'm reinstalling apps through appbrain now, this time without using the LEDnotify app. Perhaps it won't reoccur.

Let me know if you can think of anything you did in between installing. I never installed the beta recoveries, and I only installed clockwork through the market app.
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
Since you just wiped your phone could you possibly do a nandroid backup and post it for us that loaded the beta on our phones? It would help us all out quite a bit.
[Vibrant Android Development] Live2Follow:
I have removed some of the bloatware through Root Explorer. So my nand wouldn't be an exact copy. Additionally, I also just reinstalled apps through appbrain :( If my problem resurfaces, I will make a nand of that though.

Edit: check out this thread though: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728698

i tried a nandroid backup

i did a nandroid backup just fine but when i goto do the nandroid restore it tells says:

Can't unmount /system/!

i wiped in Clockworkmod recovery i was going to wipe and do the nandroid restore but since it dont work, i dont have a "home launcher" installed so therefore my phone boots up and i get my signals and all but i have no "home" to do anything on the phone with.

any ideas? i was going to push launcherpro but i disabled the usb debugging to be able to mount my sd
[Vibrant Android Development] stillyone:
I guess nobody here runs stock rom anymore ..sad
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
depends on how you look at it. Once my phone was charged I rooted it, removed the bloatware and it performs better now then it did out of the box.

I now can also make a backup which I did before removing ANYTHING with Titanium Backup, and after bloatware and rooted, a backup with nandroid now.

The only sad thing I can see possible is if YOU already screwed up your phone and didn't bother to make a backup before.
[Vibrant Android Development] stillyone:
Instead of touching your nose with ur dck and being smart ars..just restore your phone to stock with titanium as you mentioned and post nand here... as many people request.. an be helpful a lil
[Vibrant Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
Those of us that are asking for the nandroid are doing so because we beta tested the Clockwork recovery, BEFORE nandroid was even possible and are now stuck on a European rom that isn't 100% functional.
[Vibrant Android Development] sxfx:
Hey,

I was stuck on the european version too while testing the recovery. All I did was follow these instructions here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728698

and my phone was back to normal. Also using this method will wipe everything you had on your internal memory, and your phone will be 100% stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
I helped beta that recovery you are using right now, without people doing what we did it would have been possibly longer before a recovery was created that worked.

I used Titanium prior to flashing, but the restores failed.

WTF has happened to this community?
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
That is a pre-release ROM it is not the Stock that was released with the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] ryanolson7:
i don't know what has happened, used to be so.. giving.

i also tried out the beta of clockwork before a recovery was out

so i'm stuck on the beta rom too that people keep calling 'Stock'...

its buggy as ****.

if anyone wanted to give back to the community, they would post a link to a nandroid so people who tested the beta clockwork for YOU could have a stable rom..
[Vibrant Android Development] fordstang99:
haha is anyone seeing my post? I have a nandroid backup with the stock rom on it but i cant restore it?

can anyone help
[Vibrant Android Development] eist1:
I'm having an issue in ClockworkMod mounting the USB Mass Storage Device in Win 7. The drives are noticed when monted via the partitions menu/mount USB storage. The devices are seen as portable devices in Device Manager, but I can't get them to be accessible. I have installed the Samsung USB drivers from the Softpedia link in the forum, but the drives still aren't being mounted, Everytime I try to update the driver it says the best driver is installed "WPD FileSystem Volume Driver". If anyone has any idea how to get the USB mounted that would be great, as I need that to be working, since the internal SDCard is not able to be removed, that would be the only way of getting to the SDCard. I did get the Samsung ADB Driver installed, but that doesn't seem to help.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
ok ok dont hang me

maybe I was a little too smart assed for my own good there :(

I will do a full restore with TB and then do a nandroid.

I really thought you guys were asking for someone to post a phone untouched.. and I had rooted mine within an hour of getting it.

stayed tuned and I will post the nandroid. It's not going to have any of my personal info emails and such will it?
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
What version is Rom Manager showing for the Recovery?

The /system/! error was one that was showing in .2 but should not be on .4
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
So I did not install the beta, and have a stock nandroid backup, although did not wipe my device first, and am willing to help out the community in any way that I can...
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
Thank you man. No if you do a restore with TB, and then a wipe with the recovery, then create a nandroid backup, it will be a clean nandroid with no personal info on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] xspeed9190:
Is this ever going to work like nexus one.. Recovery where your don't have to leave the file one the sdcard you just go to recovery. Or do we have to do like the slide and continue to reset recovery then reinstall packages to get to recovery
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
thanks coming up.. I love how fast this phone does stuff :D

edit.. it's going to have Rom Manger in it unless I uncheck it from being restored

edit..edit.. nm I guess that makes sense it would be in the backup.. I'm toasty right now :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
so I've tried missing app restore and full app restore and TB just sits on 0% , rebooted twice same thing.

Doesn't look like backups made with TB will restore =\

any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
Same issue I had with it when trying to recover.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
Hmm.. I'm going to write Joel the creator of TB see what he can figure out..

[Vibrant Android Development] lmfaznboi:
I have a question. When I do a nandroid backup of my phone its saves the data in the internal memory. its there a way for it to save it to the external SD card?
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
External SD can't be accessed via recovery at this point.
[Vibrant Android Development] lmfaznboi:
Thanks, I guess I need to manually move the nandroid folder to my computer for safe keeping
[Vibrant Android Development] Live2Follow:
As per my previous screen post, this seems to be related to custom launcher and and the LED notify app and completely unrelated *duh!* to clockwork. Just wanted to give an update incase anyone starts to think that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Argusi:
Make sure you have indirect selected under app installer mode in preferences.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dallasalien:
Just bought the premium rom manager, you definitely deserve more.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:

Looks like there is already a Tmobile posted now but its good info to have.

thanks for the final release i finally got around to doing it works great! can you tell me the difference between the premium and free version of rom manager?
[Vibrant Android Development] hockeyrcks9901:
Just installed/flashed and did a nandroid backup.

Can't wait to start flashing some ROMs.

Does anyone know the answer about MobileDefense? I was using that on my G1 and would love to get it on the Vibrant.

Also, I also would like to know if there is any functionality differences between the free and Premium Rom Manager versions?
[Vibrant Android Development] my fear:
ok question, i got the recovery to install but now every time i go to recovery (hold volume and power) it still goes to samsung recovery but when i reinstall packages it goes to clockwork recovery. but i have to reinstall packages every time. did i do something wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] cparekh:
+1. I get the same thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
"How it works: The recovery is packaged as an update.zip that you run from STOCK recovery. The update.zip unpacks Clockwork Recovery onto the ramdisk and restarts recovery. When you reboot, it reverts back to the original, unmodified, stock recovery. So, you will need to keep the recovery on the root of your SD card as an update.zip, and apply the zip every time you want to start Clockwork."

You didnt do anything wrong. It will only automatically go into Clockwork if you reboot through ROM manager. If you start from a powered of phone and use the volume keys and power it will go to the stock recovery and then you will have to hit reinstall packages.

This is how it works for me. It doesnt actually replace anything which is why its so safe. It just runs from a RAMDisk
[Vibrant Android Development] my fear:
o ok i was wondering since on my g1 when you "flashed" a recovery that's the 1 you had unless you changed it again. ok ill just keep that in mind when i use it and stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
So, basically if you want to go into recovery we should just all do it via Rom Manager right? I mean... what if that update.zip was deleted from the SD Card? Then the stock recovery method would not work, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Awesome work, Purchased the premium version just because of this. Well worth the $3.99. Thanks a lot, Koush!
[Vibrant Android Development] Spaccedout:
Good Job !
[Vibrant Android Development] Bigshow281:
Confirmed working, easiest root/recovery install ever. Fantastic work. Now for some nice roms. ;-)

[Vibrant Android Development] Qverse:
Burning Question

Now I have a burning question..What if this ROM (soon to come by some DEV)

does work or someway just lock and we cant get OS to start up..? Then How will then run this fakeflasher outside of the OS? what then ??

Wait !

Backup

ReSet

and start again. I hope
[Vibrant Android Development] psychoace:
It's near impossible to brick a Samsung phone. If you have a problem with a rom that can't be recovered with Clockwork's recovery you can easily odin a stock rom and start again. It's crazy how idiot proof this phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] ram100987:
I was thinking the same thing...

I had my g1 rooted and wouldn't have it any other way but I'm just keeping an eye on the vibrant development for now until all the kinks of rooting and recovery are ironed out and there are some roms worth flashing before I root mine.the vibrant works a little differently than the g1 so I wanna make sure understand what I'm getting into first.
[Vibrant Android Development] Captain9:
Worked prefect for me I will be buying the premium rom manager soon.

Thanks for your time and effort Great work.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
Good to hear that. Although I never bricked my 2 G1's modifying all aspects of it including the Death & Danger SPL it is always good to know that Samsung is nearly brick proof.
[Vibrant Android Development] HoOnZ:
I just tried the recovery using ROM manager and it works without any issues! Awesome! Thanks Koush!

I just paid for the Premium version to help support this project! :)

Thank you again!
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
You don't even need odin. Just put the recovery update.zip in the root of your internal memory and boot to stock recovery and run reinstall packages. It will load up clockwork from the zip.
[Vibrant Android Development] SuperMiguel:
this is a noob questions but.. What is this Recovery for?? What it does??? why should i do this?
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
The recovery allows you to flash Custom ROMs, nandroid (make backups and restore).
[Vibrant Android Development] t1h5ta3:
awesome work
[Vibrant Android Development] SuperMiguel:
are there any custom ROMs for this phone?
[Vibrant Android Development] tissimo:
Awesome! I DL'd the recovery from your site to make a nandroid of my unrooted phone. Worked great, thanks.

[Vibrant Android Development] xplanowestx:
This is a great idea! I'm getting my vibrant tomorrow and will be doing this. thanks for the hard work!
[Vibrant Android Development] ram100987:
That makes sense to a point, but if the the rom is bad in some way and will not boot, (stuck on "samsung vibrant" screen or whatever is equivalent to the G1's "G1" screen when you flash a bad rom) then you will not be able to mount the internal memory on a computer to copy the update zip to it will you? i know on the G1 you could not access the external SD card through the phone if the phone was not booted up and mounted or if it was not mounted through the recovery like amon_ra recovery allowed. I have not tried it, but could I access the internal memory on a computer when the phone is off or maybe in the factory recovery screen?
[Vibrant Android Development] ultra spikey:
Can I use this on an unrooted Vibrant? In the market, ROM Manager says "ROOT USERS ONLY". What I want to do for now is just create a nandroid backup of my unrooted phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
No you can not, you need root. Hence the "ROOT USERS ONLY". You need it to prompt the SuperUser.
[Vibrant Android Development] tissimo:
You can download the zip file of the recovery from his website and load it on the Internal SD as update.zip then 'reinstall packages' from the stock recovery. I did this on my unrooted phone to get a nandroid of it unrooted before playing around with it. Still haven't rooted it yet though, haha. I haven't felt a need for root yet, but I'm sure after a week of owning it I will root it and start messing it up, lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fr0stbyteX:
Thank you, it works great! Just purchased ROM Manager Premium!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Has anyone had any luck mounting the USB storage in ClockworkMod? I haven't been able to have my PC see the SDCard after choosing to mount the USB in the partitions section.
