But this time if i use the volume rocker and power button i can get into the 2e speedmod recovery screen. im not sure whats going on...but i still cant backup my rom or install from sd using rom manager.

ROM Manager Issue with 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'

Anyone having an issue with ROM Manager when they try to 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'?

I've used Odin to wipe the phone and have also rooted it using One-Click, but now I'm stuck at 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'. I'm getting the error: "An error occurred while downloading your recovery". It was working yesterday but seems unresponsive right now--can't figure if it's a problem on my end or on the server's.

New to this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] neotekz:
but then i cant use rom manager to make backups or flash from sd.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You do not need rom manager. Rom manager is just a ui for clockwork. The options you need to do what you want are in clockwork
[Captivate Android Development] rkstoops:
No option for backup

I am a total noob with a Samsung Epic running Froyo DK28. I just rooted tonight and am trying to use the Clockworkmod Recovery to do a backup. When I click backup, it restarts to the recovery screen, but there's no option for a backup. Just "restart", "run update.zip from sd card", or wipe phone or wipe partition. How do I backup the stupid thing? I've now restarted my phone 20 times trying different things. There's not even an option to "reinstall packages" and trying to run the update.zip just fails every time.
[Captivate Android Development] Natascha303:
im also a noob, but managed a backup today.

rom manager download

give rom manger root rights

go into rom manger and press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

choose your phone

press fix permissions

reboot

go into rom manger

press backup current rom

it reboots and you should press reinstall package ( i had the same thing 3 times, and suddely got into green CWM zone)

then restore backup

BACKUP

thats what ive done, worked

[Captivate Android Development] Stealthed_Rouge:
Ok more noob questions here... im a lil confused on how to flash back to stock rom so that i can flash a new rom... would i use manage and restore back ups? To flash the back up i made? If some one could throw up a quick tut. That would be AMAzing. Thx.

Btw.. i rooted via dbs onclick, flashed cognition 2.1.7b unhelpfuls kernal.. all via my captivate, dont own a pc or have a isp lol. Was wanting to get cognition 3.01 but in my noobness i downloaded 2.1.7..?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
To flash back to stock ROM, use the 1Click method.

Although, if you don't own a PC, I'm not sure how you used the 1Click method to ROOT, or how you would use the one I linked above to go back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Stealthed_Rouge:
I used the bugless beast to root which is kinda strange couse i dled the file used androidzip to copy it to the internal sd, booted into recovery and ran it... After i renamed it ovcourse.. How i accessed the internal sd like that i dunno couse i cant copy files to it now..
[Captivate Android Development] Beny The Kid:
Ok, so I am a noob and a bit of a tech retard. I installed ROM manager from the market, flashed clockwork mod recovery, hit backup and then proceeded to attempt a battery icon MOD which messed up my phone. Turned my captivate (I896) on into recovery mode which brought up the normal menu. Clicked reinstall packages and received error "failed to verify whole-file signature", "signature verification failed" and then "installation aborted". Won't let me do anything else. Thoughts anyone on how to recover my phone? Even if I have to flash the stock ROM over again.

Thanks,

Beny
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You will have to flash stock if your phone won't boot. Or you can try to replace the kernel through odin with one that has 2e recovery.

From your post I would say flash stock. There is a thread for flashing stock on rogers in captivate development
[Captivate Android Development] dsu:
lost.

im new to this so bare with me.

I have a captivate from Rogers, updated to the official 2.2 froyo.

the captivate is rooted with the super one click method.

i tried the rom manager "flash recovery" it made a recovery, then i created a "backup of current rom" successfully (i think).

When it came to the recovery screen, i selected "reinstall packages", or something along those lines but the process failed saying...

"3e

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted"

I've read through most of this tread but have no idea what any of the suggestions made meant..

Can anybody help me step by step? I want to make a backup/recovery before i start playing around with the phone.

can't flash clockworkmod recovery Captivate

This has always worked in the past. I went to flash a new ROM last night, reflashed back to stock, master wipe, rooted and installed ROM Manager. Launched ROM Manager, Clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, selected Galaxy S captivate and I get an error....An error occured while downloading recovery.

I have even tried flashing back to stock and repeat. Still same issue,
[Captivate Android Development] dalavar:
I believe it is because Koush's site is down which is where it gets the recovery from.

I am in the same boat didn't make a copy of update.zip and since the site is down I can't get it from within Rom Manager. :eek: So I guess I just wait for his site to come back up or hope someone can post the AT&T Captivate update.zip

[Captivate Android Development] tru2malice:
I understand cyanogen not supporting g1 in gingerbread form but as far as koush is concerned he should have let us g1 users know. I didn't purchase Rom manager until a month ago then i find out a week or so later that there is not gonna be any support for g1's and of course he wont respond and he wont refund me .All the nightly's dissapeared even from koushes server so g1 users be warned don't purchase rom manager this im going to post on every android forum on the net. Due to koush isnt letting g1 users know whats happening and as far as im concerned if there is no support then there shouldnt be a rom manager at all. So as to be totally honest with all the devices rom manger has bricked and the lack of support i am going to even go so far as to say even if you dont have g1. Be forwarned any issues dev wont respond emailed him from multiple email addresses and emailed more than one of his emails. So stay away from all clockwork mods and rom manager.To top it all off wes gardner is maintaining cyanogen gingerbread but within the nightly builds by koush it specifically says avoid wes gardner at all costs so just shows what koush is about. So it goes without saying avoid koush at all costs wish he wasnt part of they cyanogen community everything about cyanogen is open source except anything koush makes lol what does that say that he isnt about what cyanogen stands for he is giving cyanogen a bad name and rep.

By the way im not saying koush is not a amazing proggrammer

cause he is but personality portrays everything in life......
[Captivate Android Development] rob1216:
Noob here, only flashed 2 roms so far, can someone explain exactly what this does.Does it mean we dont have to flash back to stock using odin before flashing a new rom, we just back up current rom then flash new one over it. I get that it backs up entire rom, so can you go back to stock with odin and back that up too then return to stock using this. Or is it just a to recover phone using clockwork incase something happens?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Usually you have to install Clockwork Rom Manager from the Captivate stock ROM JF6 as an update.zip. Reboot into recovery, then apply update.zip. You'll have to apply it twice but the second time you'll be in Clockwork Rom Manager Recovery.

Once you have Rom Manager Recovery working, you may copy a custom ROM zip to /sdcard/ and reboot into recovery again, this time choose apply zip from SD card, point to the custom ROM zip and apply it.

In this way you'll be on a custom ROM along with Clockwork Rom Manager recovery. Then you can install Rom Manager app from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
Sorry, several more noob questions…..

Reviewing the article here and reading this thread I am still a little unclear….

The how to page mentioned above says this backup is similar to imaging a PCs hard drive.

1.	If this is true are there any concerns when flashing between backups that have different types of lag fix (or no lag fix at all)?

I have only flashed a few ROMs (COG and Serendipity) but don’t mind going back to stock (using Odin) when flashing to a new ROM the first time.

Although I haven’t had any problems with Odin, I see some people report that using Odin can be risky.

Instead of using Odin to flash back to stock in the future, could I flash to stock using Odin, then Master clear, then Root, then install Rom manager and make a nandroid backup. Then flash my new Rom.

2.	When I decide to try a new Rom can I simply flash back to stock (rooted) from my nandroid backup above, then do a master clear using the keypad instead of using the Odin program? Would this be the same as using Odin?

When going into CWM Recovery and selecting Backup and Restore, I have 4 options:

a.	Backup Data: data + dbdata + cache

b.	Restore Data:

c.	Backup All

d.	Restore All (be careful).

3.	What additional is backed up using “Backup All” vs “Backup Data: data + dbdata + cache”

4.	Any ideas why it mentions Restore All be careful?

5.	Should I select restore All or restore Data for my backup when restoring?

I did my first backups from Cog and started the backup from Rom Manager (not CWM recovery).

6.	Was this a Backup Data or a Backup All?

I’m happy to use the thanks button for whoever can help me out here.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
Never restore a 2.1 nandroid "eclair" while your on a 2.2 "froyo" rom the nandroid dosent include the modem or kernal you will end up in a boot loop nandroids are good for restoring a rom if applying a theme or making changes to the system mess up the rom you are currently on. People make the mistake of trying to flash to stock with a nandroid it doesn't work. If you want to try a new rom just back up apps with titanium back up put the rom on your sd card go into CWM wipe data factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, choose zip from sd card and flash, if things don't go right then flash stock using odin, and make sure you get the appropriate one regarding your three button combo. That should be it.
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
1tontomato – Thank you for your reply. I’m really glad I asked this question. I thought a nandroid backup included everything (even the kernal and modem).

I am currently running Serendipity but have a nandroid of Cog 3.04 when I was running it.

Cog is 2.2 and Serendipity is 2.2.1.

If I want to go back to Cog 3.04 (with the original modem and kernel) from Serendipity, what is the quickest/easiest way?

Should I flash to stock (using Odin), Master clear, Root, flash out of box Cog 3.04, install rom manager then apply my back up?

Or is it just the same to go into CWM wipe data factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, choose zip from sd card (Cog 3.04) and flash. Then install Rom manager and apply my backup?

Sorry for the noobness….I just need to understand what I am doing before getting flash happy.

Also, any thoughts on question 1 and questions 3-6?
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
Yes go into CWM and wipe, wipe, wipe, flash cog 3.4 then restore the nandroid for that rom. If you run into trouble then use odin and start from scratch. You should be alright.
[Captivate Android Development] illeont:
I can not get it work. I open rom manager, then reboot into recovery. I choose reinstall packages but it always says that signature verification failed. "failed to verify whole-file signature". I can not enter into clockwork recovery. Android system recovery is "3e". Is this the problem? Another captivate i have, has system recovery "2e" and all worked just fine. Please help me.
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
This happens to me to if I try to get into recovery from Rom Manager.

Once in the Android 3e recovery, I just pull my battery and reboot. For me it reboots into clockwork recovery.

This only happens when I try to get to recovery from Rom Manger.

If you select to go into recovery from your power menu you should have no problems.

There is a separate post for 3e recovery fix if your interested http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

Hey if someboddy can help. I have been helping my daughter root and now trying to load a new ROM, all long distance. I'm stuck, not being right there, I'm not sure what to do next.

From ROM Man. she selects install new ROM (or something like that) it goes to...

(this also happens if she tries three button start)

CWM recovery

Enter: POWER key, Select: Vol UP / Vol Down

-reboot system now

-reinstall packages

-delete all user data

-delete cache data

=format internal sd-card

If she clicks reinstall packages it says failed then it goes back to above screen.

These are her only selections. Nothing here allows her to install from sd card. What did I miss?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If she flashed clockwork in rom manager, reinstall packages twice to get clockwork recovery installed.

Then select install zip from s

CM7
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
If she formatted the internal sd card she wiped the update zip and the new rom she was attempting to install. Hopefully she saved the update.zip to her computer.

If she did she can mount the usb sd card to her computer and copy the update.zip and the rom back to the root of the sd. Then she should be able to start all over again. Rom manager reinstall packages twice, choose zip from sd, select "newrom.zip" and enjoy. With a fresh install it usually takes a unusually long first boot, be patient.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
is her recovery 2e or 3e? That could be the problem. 3e requires signed zip witch clockwork is not

Not sure, where do I go to determine this/
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Private messages are great for tech support!

booting into recovery the top line will read 2e or 3e.

if the phone came with 2.2 it WILL have 3e. and needs signiature verifacation.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

the easiest way to do this is with root explorer.

mount R/W, drop the file in location. reboot.

cracked 3e. with no adb commands.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Thanks. At the moment I can't reach her. I can add though, this is originally a 2.1. Then 2.1 update1. We finally (2 or 3 days after release) Installed froyo 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
If you installed Froyo, you are in a 3e recovery, which requires signed zips. You can do one of two things.

You can patch a modified 3e recovery via adb to disable the requirements that the zip is signed. Doing this will allow the phone to boot into CWM recovery when you select install packages.

or

You could download the supercurio stock + voodoo KB1 kernel, which is available as an Odin flashable tar file. You can then boot into download mode and flash the kernel, which will let you boot straight into CWM recovery each time.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
thanks for repeating most of my post! but adb is not needed if you have root explorer (or similar) and are rooted!

but that other option is another option...
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Root explorer would work, but if he didn't want to buy it for some reason, adb would do the job for free. I missed your response, so sorry for duplicating the information.
