Sweeettt !!! FINALLY IT WORKED !!! Thanks to both of you guys !! I been stuck for 2 weeks on this LOL man what a relief !!! Thanx alot guys
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Hey I dont really know what adb or Android SDK is but I just did what I posted and it worked. I thougt ADB was a program on the computer?
[Vibrant Android Development] jblade1000:
i too am a noob compared to others on this board and your advice helped me out a lot. i was banging my head on my desk when it told me i didnt have shell root. used superoneclick and now all is good. thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
Need help, I can't flash CWM in the rom manager when i'm on JFD so i can't flash anything to my phone. It always gives me an error that about stable connection or SD should have free space. But this one is for the froyo right?

I have seen in the OP that there's an update.zip for CWM but can i use that for JFD?
[Vibrant Android Development] acureto:
Hey, i had a hopefully quick question. so i followed this method in the OP (thank god it worked) but i noticed that every time i want to go into CWM, i have to reinstall the packages. is this normal for samsungs, or did i not do something right? i'm at least happy i can get into CWM now but i'm new to the Samsung world.

noob to run scrip

hello people, i want to install the recovery 3 for my samsung vibrant, can any body explain me to run scrip!, i have no idea what is scrip, please guide me, thx for your time
[Vibrant Android Development] acureto:
Unzip the file to a folder that you can have easy access to, plug your phone into your computer, open the folder that you just unzipped and there should be one folder Caledonia bin and a file called install. Double click the install file and just let it do its work
[Vibrant Android Development] max_82:
Hi all,

I'm a noob here and I need your help.

Could you explain on step by step? I have a rooted captivate 2.2.

Should I install SDK first? Or just set the phone on USB debug is enough? I really confused.

I hope this method works properly on my phone because I've tried many methods but I still got nothing. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] jblade1000:
this is normal for at least the vibrant. this ensures that you can always get into stock recovery should the need arise. kind of the best of both worlds. just as a note, i noticed on the 2.1 builds (JFD and JI6) i only had to reinstall packages once, but with this i have to do it twice each time. a minor annoyance but nothing serious in my opinion.
[Vibrant Android Development] andrewbat:
Please help...

Hi,

I tried to enter CWM but it comes up and tell me that signature verification failed.

I seem to have the 3E kernel....

Can i have a simple noobs explanation to get around this so i can try and flash a custom froyo 2.2 rom....

Please help :o

Thanks

Andrew

Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000

Firmware: 2.2

Build: FROYO.DTJP5
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
No problem, alot people helped me on here and Im just trying to return the favor.

Ok Ill try to help you with this.

1. get superoneclick root application (its on the forums just search for it.)

2. plug phone into computer then open superoneclick application

3. click on shell root (i used psneuter method) in the application and let it do its thing

4. Once you get a message that you have shell root, download the 3e recovery from OP and unzip to desktop. (DO NOT restart phone!!!)

5. run the .BAT file in the unzipped folder.

6. go through the steps and choose to restart when done (it will show as recommended)

You are now done!

Let me know how it goes
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Run the 3E recovery again (follow post above) and that should fix it. I had the same problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] RidoKilos:
This is magic.
[Vibrant Android Development] thenaut:
this isnt working for me. I can't get it to go into Clockwork recovery. I've followed the steps outlined in this forum, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can do everything, except boot into clockwork. any ideas?

and before I'm flamed for not searching or reading the entire thread, i'm going to repeat myself by saying i have taken all steps mentioned in above posts
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Unless someone else has another idea, I suggest doing factory reset or Odin to stock firmware and try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] max_82:
Before you reset to stock, I think the easiest way is using existz's solution. You can check it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

Please press thanks if it help you.
[Vibrant Android Development] thenaut:
I did a factory reset before I saw your response. i was already on stock, so that isn't an issue. I'm gonna try again tomorrow.

I appreciate the responses. what are your thoughts on z4root? I'm gonna try that method I think, but i get the feeling i'm still gonna have a problem with the 3e recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] silow:
What firmware do you have installed? Are you coming from a leaked stock firmware that you installed with ODIN? Are you on the official firmware through Kies?

Which step did you get stuck at? Were you able to obtain root?

If you are on a 2.2 stock ROM either through ODIN flashing one of the stock leaked firmware or you are on the stock ROM flashed through Kies you need to:

1.) Obtain root - which can be and has been done with SuperOneClick

"Root" means you were able to successfully push su, Superuser.apk, and busybox on your phone. They should be in the following locations:

/system/bin/su which is a link to /system/xbin/su

/system/app/Superuser.apk

/system/xbin/busybox

*NOTE* The stock 2.2 ROMs do not have a lot of free space available in the /system mount. When you use SuperOneClick it should push su and Superuser but will fail to push busybox onto your phone. You will need to use ADB, Terminal Emulator, or some file explorer to remove bloatware from the /system/app directory to free up space (i.e. slackerradio). Also /system will be mounted in Read Only so you will need to remount Read-Write (some file explorers such as Root Explorer have this option otherwise you can use ADB or a terminal emulator to enter the following command mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system)

2.) Replace the stock 3e recovery with the untermensch's modified 3e recovery from this thread. Remember to rename the modified 3e recovery to "recovery". Again use ADB, Terminal Emulator, or a file explorer to replace the following file:

/system/recovery

Alternatively if you rather be on one of the custom ROMs you can always ODIN to JFD, root, install ROM Manager and CWM, and flash a custom ROM.

Another alternative method is to download the Bionix V ROM and extract the kernel (zImage file). You can then flash this kernel using ODIN. Team Whiskey has built this kernel to have Voodoo and CWM built into the ramdisk so you can bypass ROM Manager and enabling CWM through an update.zip.
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
Windows shell scripts, don't work well with non-english systems, or with spaces in the file

path, if you have just Odin'ed then the /system partition only has 124k of free space

any attempt to back up your existing recovery and install the modified one will fail, unless

you remove something in /system/app I recommend thinkdroid.apk

if the script is not working for you then you can use SuperOneClick and press the Shell Root

button

then use these commands to install the recovery manually

you MUST have adb.exe and any dll files plus recovery in the same directory as your

command prompt. or you wil get "file not found".

example:

on both Linux and Windows when you open a command prompt you are in your home directory

if you have placed the files on your Desktop you MUST CD to your desktop with this command.

cd Desktop

if you don't know how to open a command prompt, and cant Google how to do that then you

are a hopeless noob and should not be screwing around with your phone.

adb -d shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb -d shell rm /system/bin/recovery
adb -d push recovery /system/bin/recovery
adb -d shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/recovery

No problem just make sure you help someone else. Thats what this forum is all about.

At step 3 I get a message that says Running PSNeuter and a popup comes up that says Device Has Temp ADB Root, Reboot your device to remove it. Tried rebooting and same problem

Also latest and greatest ROM for the Vibrant? Looking for a better battery life is all
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
Yea your not supposed to reboot your phone, just run the 3e recovery .bat file.

after the whole process then reboot phone thru the 3e recovery command prompt.

SuperOneClick says Rooted, 3e recovery installer said:

temp root failed, install cannot continue

Its already rooted, I was trying to flash the Bionix ROM. I clicked install ROM from SD card I selected Bionix-v-1.2-wipe.zip and ROM-Pre Install options come up with:

[ ] Backup existing ROM

[ ] Wipe Data and Cache.

I selected both and then it rebooted, yellow and blue writing came up with a bunch of checks that said ok. Reboot option came up again with other options like reinstall packages, format SD card and 4 others, cant remember but I did reboot and phone is still the same. Rebooted again 10 mins later, still stock. So I hit reinstall packages and it says failed to verify whole-file signature. installation aborted

How can I just start all over? My battery life has been awful. I barely use the phone and it drains 50+% overnight and 1 percent every few minutes idling. Never used to do that until I forced 2.2 onto it. After trying this last night though full charge at 5pm, I'm still at 75% over 16 hours later. This phone has a mind of its own
[Vibrant Android Development] aamir123:
If I were you I would odin back to stock then reroot and try again. Btw shell root is different from revukar root.

Follow prompts.......

Reboot.....

Good as new.....
[Vibrant Android Development] beta24:
I have read down these posts but have not found a solution to my problem (hoping its an obvious one that someone can simply explain to me). I have the update.zip and have run the 3e recovery mod. First off, thanks for taking the time to work on these! Only problem I have is they have yet to work for my phone. I have never been able to make it to clockwork recovery page. Can anyone give me a breakdown step by step (like I'm an infant) to where exactly I place the update.zip? I am somewhat confused by what I have read and am hoping that will be the fix and that I just put it in the wrong place. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] krackers:
To get CWM (Clock Work Mod):

quoted from my other post:

It originally did not work for me: Some things to try

It did not permanently flash for me. I was able to get into it though after quickly pressing reinstall packages. If it seems to flash and then goes back to regular, do it again. I was always able to get into Clockwork on the second try with this.

Then I installed voodoo... BAM! Permanent clockwork!

So if nothing else works.... install voodoo!
[Vibrant Android Development] beta24:
My solution

Turns out the simplest thing made all the difference. I tried the "delete slacker" method and got nothing, still looped me repeatedly in e3 recovery. What finally got me working right was just turning on my wifi before I rebooted the phone! it works every time for me now! If I do not turn the wifi on, it will go back to looping me. Let me know if anyone else has success with this!

Turn wifi on

Turn off phone OR load to reboot menu through ROM Manager

select "reinstall packages" twice, the second time it should take you into clockwork!

Thanks to anyone who tried to help find a solution! Hope this can help someone else

This is getting frustrating. I have followed the instructions to the "T" and it does not work.

I am trying to root the new Froyo Stock Rom from ATT for the Captivate that came out yesterday. What a pain.. Ready to throw the phone across the room!!!!

I use to change ROM's all the time on my HTC FUSE but just can't get this darn thing rooted. I rooted in Eclair with a breeze, but for some reason this is not working...

Appreciate any help on this... Sorry for the rant!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Nivek91:
I'm new to the vibrant and I just rooted mine using one click root on 2.2. It worked perfectly. Then I installed rom manager and clockwork recovery and soon to find out it didn't work. I went through all the pages and I'm still a bit confused on how to get custom recovery. So do I have to run shell root from superoneclick, then run the bat file? Even when I'm already rooted?
[Vibrant Android Development] Richy_T:
Mount problems...

OK, I'm rooted, I have updated /system/bin/recovery per this thread, I have the cwm update.zip and Cognitionv4.1.1.zip in /sdcard. I can reboot to the recovery console. I can click on "Reinstall packages" and then it boots into the clockwork recovery manager. I can locate the Cognitionv4.1.1.zip file on the sdcard but when I go to apply it, I get an error about being unable to mount the SDCARD (also something about "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)".

I've tried googling around but all I've been able to find is stuff from people relating to their removable SD cards and no answers. I put the Captivate on Windows and ran a checkdisk on the internal SD just in case. All looks good. I'm just unable to apply this update

The full error I'm getting is

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

(Device or resource busy)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:Cognitionv4.1.1.zip

Installation aborted.

Any help much appreciated. I'm going to keep digging and I'll write back if I find something.
[Vibrant Android Development] EricDET:
Have you tried the mounts and storage section inside recovery and mounting the sd card in there? Also make sure you're using the internal sd card as clockwork will not work from the external.
[Vibrant Android Development] EricDET:
No... Once you have root... You just need to run the bat file while you have the phone booted in the rom. The script should see you have root and skip the step.
[Vibrant Android Development] Richy_T:
Sorry, thought I'd replied to this. Must have quit without hitting submit.

I went into that section. It shows both cards as being available to mount. If I mount the sdcard, any other operation that I attempt gives the same mount error. (It never shows as mounted). Note that I did not do this when I attempted to install the rom.

I'm thinking it must be something with the version of clockwork I'm using. There's no version but the md5sum is 9132c0cc7379301c8ec8de36dd19d3b9 . Though it's possible it's something else of course...

Edit: Downloaded a different recovery, md5 88c934dc5ddaf1221921b6e0c00e96d7 . Looks like it's working so far. Link here:

[Vibrant Android Development] shinji257:
Don't bother trying to mount sd-ext. It's going to wrong device node. The sdcard one should work though and maps to the internal sdcard. The node it's trying to mounts as /data and isn't the external sd at all. I would just put the file on the internal sd and leave it there.
[Vibrant Android Development] Richy_T:
The new version I downloaded worked fine. The only remaining issue was to track down working versions of Desk Home and Daily Briefing for the new rom. Someone should add to the HOWTO that Titanium backup does not back up system APKs.

[Vibrant Android Development] rubburner:
Noob here also - just wondering if you need to put the update.zip on the internal sd card or is it only for getting root access? I was experiencing the same problem as one of the earlier posters, saying that the update.zip could not be found under /mnt/sd_something (can't remember). When I do have the update.zip on the internal card, it flashes and then reboots the phone, but not into recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

WOW! Finally I got this to work! Thank you so much! Thanks to everyone that offered help in this thread because somehow from reading all the helpful responses it helped me understand and after trying all week, yes all week, finally I have Sweet Honey!!! By the way, what really helped me, is turning off my anti-virus. I was turning off my AV when I was about to run the programs but, what really did it was, I deleted all the downloaded files for this on my computer, then I turned off my anti-virus completely. I then re-downloaded the files, mounted the phone, deleted the update.zip and replaced with the re-downloaded one onto the internal sd of the phone, *****DON'T EVEN BOTHER USING SUPERONECLICK, Just run the BAT script in the 3e recovery installer and it will root with rage automatically*** then I ran the 3e recovery installer script, pressed 2 to reboot when it was done. Then I didn't think anything happened but I noticed a new icon in the apps next to ROM Manager, so I knew something had to happen. Went back to ROM Manager, did the Flash CWM, Install ROM checked both, selected the custom ROM, rebooted, and finally saw the GREEN font!!! :D

[Vibrant Android Development] BWolf56:
I get an error where it can't find the path.

Do I have to unzip the files in my internal sd? and then run it.

EDIT: I got it running after getting root explorer. The only thing is that if I go in recovery with CWM, it goes in 3rd recovery and can't install update.zip so I have to hold down vol up + power for 10sec and it boots in CWM recovery. Although, works perfectly fine if I get into recovery from the Power button menu.

I'm running stock Froyo on a T-mobile Vibrant. I tried to get Rom Manager to backup the current rom. When it boots into recovery and I select reinstall packages it fails on signature.

So I went ahead and ran the 3e_recovery installer from this thread which says it succeeded. Now when I run backup the current rom, it boots to recovery, and reinstall packages reboots back into recovery so quickly that I can't really read the 4 lines of messages, though I can just make out a "replacing stock .. " as one of the last lines.

Reboot system now does work, so I can get back into normal operation, but I'm stuck as far as gettting a backup.

Help!

I just upgraded my VIbrant through Kies to KB5. After Boot, i had found that it is not rooted anymore, thus I rooted with SuperOneClick. I install the recent ROM Manager, but it failed to run the CWM recovery, I got the error:

E: Failed to verify whole-life signature

IF I run this script would it solve this problem, or I need to do something else?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] michaelg117:
must you be rooted for this/
[Vibrant Android Development] ricky71153:
it will work

This worked for me when one step/super onestep failed. You have to turn off all your virus protection and then make sure you open 3e recovery, put your phone on usb debugging and plug it in to your computer and click install on 3e rcovery. Now if any virus protection is still on it will stop and your virus protection will inform you of what a good job it is doing so you just have to turn off more until recovery works then make sure you have the zip update on your internal SD, reboot into recovery, click on reinstall packages and when it reboots you should have superuser and you can go from there.
[Vibrant Android Development] kmandel:
I'm in the same situation, Vibrant with KB5. The signature problem we are both having is the 3E issue. Before I updated to KB5, on the original Kies Froyo, I did try the script and it failed, as described in the post just above yours. I haven't tried it again on KB5 but wouldn't expect better results.
