Hey I was trying to install Axura final the other day and couldn't. I would go to Rommanager, install rom from sd, pick the room, then it would go into clockwork recovery and it looked like it would start downloading. It would then quit downloading almost immediately and take me to the main clockwork recovery menu. I would then just try to reinstall system packages(after renaming it update.zip) and it would come up with an error saying that it couldn't mount my sd or something like that. Any ideas why? I know its probably something simple that I'm not doing
Anyone else ever have this problem, or have any idea how to fix it?
Where you running a lag fix? If so disable it. And its always better to odin back to stock before flashing a new rom

No I didnt have a lag fix, I guess il have to odin back to stock and try that thanks

I had installed Voodoo and went to install one of the AOSP roms available. I didnt realize that it would overwrite the kernel and now upon booting the phone will go into FC loops. I cant get anywhere and cant get into CWM. I thought I would try using ODIN to get back to stock but now its doing the same thing at stock. I'm at a loss. What should I do? Is my phone Perma-bricked?
Was it my rom? I don't think it deletes the kernal?

blue breeze. I didnt think so either but now I get nothing but FC's from startup. So I tried to flash back to stock. Still nothing.
Oh my there are going to be a lot of these...
I don't know. I think that IF I had flashed the ROM first and then Voodoo I would've been fine. Unless I'm wrong and that's not what caused the issue. Any solution or am I out of a phone?
why can't you get into cwm? even by turning your phone off and holding the volume keys and the power button?
It goes to stock recovery, always has. I could only get into CW by going to ROM manager and booting into it that way.
do the update.zip and it should take you to cwm
the reason you're in FC HELLLLLLL is cuz you flashed over voodoo. that's why JT said don't flash over vooodooooo. you can fix it by going back to stock with odin. then i suggest loading bubby's kernal then voodoo over that.
Ive tried going back to stock with ODIN and it still does it. I'm going to try re-downloading the stock files and do it again. BTW the FC's are: android/process.media, and TwLauncher. I cant even get to any kind of homescreen or settings to turn on debugging.
i tried going back to stock with odin because i wanted to remove voodoo anyway before i flashed a rom and still am getting FC's like crazy
Have you tried this?
Have you checked this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807088 ...would be a good idea....
Ok, i really don't want to odin i want to see if i can fix this without having too.
I'm petty sure this started because i was deleting zips i didnt need such as old ROMS and what not, and i accidentally deleted update.zip which i figured wouldn't matter since i'm already rooted. Well i tried to boot into Clockwork to flash a new rom and it went to android recovery, no biggie, i hit reinstall packages like i always do and it gave me an error. Well i unrooted the phone, re downloaded the update.zip and re rooted it. Then i tried to get into clockwork again, through ROM manager and holding the power button and using that recovery option. As soon as it gets to android recovery it says.
E: can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
installation aborted
and this time if i hit reinstall packages it just reinstalls the update.zip over, everytime...I've flashed countless ROMS and all that for months now and i've never had this problem, yes it is clockwork is flashed in rom manager and all that, so i have no idea whats going on.
Please someone.

you deleted something important most likely.
did you install ROM MANAGER and click the first option "flash clockwork"?
if not, try that.
if yes, you MUST odin to get back your system files.
Odin is really easy if you know to use the right files, ive done it once and its been easy since then.
Yes clock work is flashed. I've used odin before also, but only on a bricked phone. Will I have to do this different?

shouldn't have to just grab a stock ROM and then install that, and BEFORE flashing your other custom ROM, just root and install rom manager, and install clock work.
you know, just in case that it still doesnt work you dont waste your time flashing a rom.
Tell me if it works or doesn't. never faced this problem before.
So i rooted my phone and installed clockwork rom manager and downloaded nero v3_voodoo.zip and put it on my phone..boot into recovery mode and now i get
--Installing: SDCARD:/Nero_3_voodoo.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
and it stays like this for hours.
Thank You
Which rom/ version are you coming from? Can you boot up normally, not in recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you rebooted into ClockWorkMod Recovery, right?
@Fearless yes.
@jrod from stock and yes i can boot up phone and it works normally it just doesn't flash the new rom
Weird
I want to say that I had this problem @ one point. I think I downloaded a new copy of the ROM. Sometimes the download get corrupted at one point or another. Have you hit boards.teamwhiskey.com? or head to the IRC chat channel? they have a GREAT support community.
I really hope you ran a titanium backup, or else you will loose all apps. I really suggest springing for the paid version, because the restore is only one click.
ok...try re-downloading the ROM again and see if that works
@led Thank You!
@fearless
Downloaded update.zip to root phone did that blah installed clockwork mod app granted superuser always, clicked flash clockwork did that, copied nerov3 onto sd card opened clockwork selected reboot into clockwork recovery once in recovery i selected the zip i wanted to update to which was nerov3voodo.zip clicked yes and it finds and opens it fine just soon as it hits installing it gets hung up for a long time hours so i just pull out the battery and boot back up to normal android with root
Im not 100% positive if this is required or not but when I flash a rom I always start from stock rom, then use samsung mini kies to update to Ji6, then flash the rom of ur choice. I did nero v3 that way too.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I did the same as jrod after a soft brick recently....
mac
is there kies mini for osx?
Ur gonna have to research a lil cuz it wasn't easy to find, at least for me it wasn't lol and im not sure if there is kies for osx. Again im not sure if this routine will fix ur problem I just know it never fails for me. The one time I did flash straight from stock rom, it was a different rom (not nero) and it worked but it seemed real buggy. I say this cuz I flashed the same rom twice, once from stock JFD and once from JI6. Coming from JI6 seemed much smoother

Wait a minute, the way I'm reading this Nerov3 was on the SD card and not the root of the phone?
If that's the case both update.zip and nerov3.zip have to be on the 16g root memory of the phone, not the SD card.
I can't install the ROM. I keep getting an error. It says:

Haha aite. Ima fill u in. But it might be a difficult to follow, lol:
1) I began by installing the custom ROM "[ROM] Vibrant AOSP ish JK2 1.1 Official FROYO". I had done the back-ups with Clockwork Mod and whatnot. And I also installed the BusyBox.
2) So I successfully installed the custom ROM. However, I read that there was an issue with SD Card's not working??? So I found the .zip file that fixes it and I put it on my SD Card. I then launch into Clockwork Mod, but it freezes on the Vibrant screen. It just boot loops. So I guessed I bricked it.
3) I try numerous times to ODIN it back to stock. It somewhat worked. However, after the Galaxy S screen, it just turns black and nothing loads. Like the interface doesn't show up.
4) I then restore it to a previous state through Recovery. But now, the SD card issue is still present. Like, I can't update/download any apps.
5) I find NERO v3 and I put it on my SD Card. I boot into recovery, and try to install it through there.
6) As I try to install it I get that,
"E: Failure at line 12:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted." message.
IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME, IT WOULD BE GREAT!!!! Lol.
Hi guys so i planned to upgrade my samsung galaxy to custom rom 2.2. i will appreciate if someone can please tell me that which is the best and stable custom rom for Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (US) Version. i heard that Nero v3 with voodoo lagfix is the best so far.

Ok ur right that was alot to follow lol. Ur gonna have to start all over and odin back to stock. Make sure you have both the right ....512.pit file that goes next to the PIT selection in odin , obviously. And the ....jfd.tar file that goes in the pda selection. Check the repartition box also. Let odin and the phone do its thing. It usually will sit on the galaxy s screen for a couple minutes. Did you have any lag fixes installed? If so I hope you disabled them first

Depends what ur looking for. The newest and reputable ones are nero v3 and axura 2.2.5.7. Nero is a lil more stable but not by much. Axura is a lil more snappier/faster but also not by much. Both are themed specifically to the makers choice so its ur call which to go with. Without customizing anything I like neros theme better but after I flashed blackfroyo to axura I loved it. Also it seems that nero is more customizable but that could be cuz axura just came out a few days ago. So its ur call. Try em both out. I did. Give one a couple days then the other so you can really wee the positives and negatives. DONT forget to disable voodoo if you try multiple roms

Yeah, I have the *True Stock* files for ODIN. I can get ODIN to do its job, but it doesn't load anything after the Galaxy S screen. Hmmm....perhaps it is the lag switch. How do I disable it?

You have to disable the lag fix before you start flashing. Which lag fix do you have?

Ok before everyone starts thinking I repeating questions that have already been repeated. You must know what I'm dealing with.
I am not that great with android yet, but I know enough.
I have a vibrant that I rooted with Super One Click, and then found out about the clockwork issues with 3e. So then proceeded to do the 3e recovery fix that i downloaded from xda.
It worked for every one that i have seen a thread about it for, but for me, when I go to flash clockwork, then reboot into recovery. I reinstall packages, and it briefly says that it is "switching to ClockworkMod recovery", reboots but goes right back into 3e, doesn't give any error messages or anything. weird right
Anyone had this problem? can't find anyone that has. Thanks
Running vibrant 2.2 with root, and attempting to use clockwork recovery 2.5.1.2
Simplest answer is to odin to jfd, reboot into recovery and reinstall packages. This should put you in cwm recovery. From there flash a custom rom and enjoy...i recommend bi-winning. Its mostly stockish and is very smooth.

i am trying to restore a nandroid because i recently had to reset my phone and durring the restore when it gets to system it gets and error saying "error while formatting /system!" and im losing my cool trying to figure out why. Can one of you gods help me fix this please and thank you.
Bump. I am having the same problem. Anyone know what's going on?
I cant claim to be one of the gods but if you need the phone operation ASAP you could just flash a fresh download of a ROM. Pop out the SD card and load it on a PC, copy ROM to it and boot up into recovery.
I always backup my data from apps incase I get this same problem. You can just reflash a new one and load up the data and be done with it. Sucks though I know Ive had this happen before too. Thats the best I have for you guys sorry
Before jumping to any conclusions try this.
Get a ROM flashed/boot up normally.
Install ROM Manager.
Open ROM Manager.
Menu > Settings > check "Erase Recovery" > back > Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Boot into recovery and see if the issue persists.

Sounds like CWM hasn't been updated with the root tutorial? just a guess, protekks suggestion should fix this. This was an issue when the thunderbolt was first rooted and CWM flashed.
Is it so that I cant restore a ICS backup when current rom is Jelly Bean?
Jelly Bean ROM? For the thunderbolt?
