i dont know what to do i was running Eugene Froyo perfectly and wanted to add a lag fix and i did and since then it had been stuck there and when i do reinstall packages in take me to the regular clockwork recovery 2.5.0.4 please help me asap i need a phone and i dont know how to load another rom onto it
cant you just re-flash eugenes froyo from CW?
or if you connect your phone, and boot into CW, you should be able to adb push a stock kernel/rom like Eugene's Vibrant9, and flash.

You have to use odin backups do not store a kernel ,trying to use that backup to go back to stock from 2.2 could and most likely will result in a soft brick

Thank you!!!!
I will give it a shot right now and I'll let you know how it goes
(THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!)
Ok
So odin flashed and i'm back to 2.1 BUT even after installing clockwork, flashing clockwork recovery & rebooting into recovery (& reinstalling packages many times) it doesnt load to clockwork, just stock recovery manager
any ideas?
WEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Ok for anyone else in my situation do NOT use one click. use the update.zip method to unlock.
Run Odin and flash it to stock 2.1, put update.zip on your internal flash memory
After that delete update.zip, install clockwork & do your thing!
I just got my phone rooted and installed rom manager and every time I try to install a custom rom my phone gets stuck in recovery mode on installing cscs is there a step or something I am missing
Did you root Froyo (2.2), or Eclair (2.1)? If you were on Froyo when you rooted, Odin back to JFD, the original official ROM, or you need to modify you recovery to 3e (search around this section of the forum, its here somewhere how to do that). If you were on Eclair, I have no idea what could be wrong.
Good luck!
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
I am new to modding my vibrant (phone is rooted but that's all) but looking to flash a new ROM. I dl'd rom manager and installed cwr. When I reboot into recovery mode via rommanager or manually doing it,I do not get the prompt to backup. Only options I get are to reboot system, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, and format internal sd-card. Anyone know how to fix this? I just updated to 2.2 froyo UVKB5 kernel 2.6.32.9 if that helps.
looks like you have stock recovery.
try reinstall packages, might take a couple times..
or install CWM via replacing update.zip
What he said, yeah.
So just delete the current update.zip file on my phone and replace it with a new one? Any links to download the update.zip file?
Sometimes you have to Reinstall Packages twice for it to go from regular recovery to CWR. If you flash a custom ROM though, most have a custom recovery built in.
If you have to replace the update.zip (which I don't think that you do), this worked for me the first time I rooted.

How to Root.
I am rooted, but I want to back everything up so that way if I do not like the new custom rom I can go back. I tried reinstalling the update.zip file from the link but s till have the same issue. Any other solutions besides going back to stock and going from there? And if I did go back to stock, would I lose everything?
I backed up using Titanium Backup, is that the same as going into recovery mode and backing up?
Re-download recovery using ROM Manager, then repeat. Worked when I had a similar issue.
Tried that several times. I also reuploaded the update file and reinstalled the package several times. Still no luck so I think I might go back to stock using Odin.
Then DL Eugenes froyo don't brick ROM with the 2e recovery update in it, then re-install packages, maybe twice and you'll have the green recovery menu your seeking
Googled Eugene's DL and I do not feel to confident with it. Is it supposed to fix the issue with getting into recovery mode?
So I went back to stock last night using Odin, upgraded to 2.2, and rooted using Superoneclick. Phone's back up and running but faster than the first time I upgraded to 2.2. I still have the issue getting into the proper recover to install the zip file. I've read that deleting Slacker helped some people, assuming it freed up space on the System ROM. My system ROM was full until I started to delete some apps. I now have 20.7 MB free. Could not enough System ROM space be the issue?
I am now also getting a "Fail" attempt when I try and update su saying that it failed to find currently installed su binary. Any advice on fixing this?
TIA!!!
it would probably be easier to just odin back to stock jfd and then flash a deodexed kb5 build thats rooted with SU already in it from here in the forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193&highlight=deodexed
If you flashed kb5 from kies or odin and don't want to reinstall the rom then you will need to flash a modified 3e recovery because you probably are not quite rooted and won't be able to use CWM until you flash the modified 3e recovery...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
You might want to check out the AIO vibrant toolbox (pinned topic in the development thread) it will give you big easy buttons and instructions to flash back to jfd and root and flash a new rom if you need to... It comes with Odin so you can wander into the install folder and fire up Odin to flash the modified 3e recovery if you decide to go that route too.
If I flash a deodexed kb5 will i still be able to flash a custom rom?
I keep thinking for sure I've got this fixed and each time so far I've been wrong. I'm on the tmobile vibrant. I can odin no problem and I'm currently 2.1 stock rooted. I want to go to cm7. I can't get to cwr though. I have tried flashing rom managers samsung galaxys vibrant recovey, both 2.x and 3.x vibrant (mtd) recovery through rom manager, and even the zip package in the noob root sticky. every time it goes to stock recovery and if I have the cm7 file named update.zip when I hit reinstall packages to get to cwr recovery it attempts to install the package and bootloops me. If I don't have anything labeled update.zip it will say file not found and I can't go any further. If I try to instal from rom manager it will just reboot normally without installing anything. Please help I can't live with this phone stock after I've seen the other side lol
