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.

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:

Any ideas why???

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.

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?

Im coming from 2.3.2 - XWJV1 [Gingerbread on Vibrant], after ODIN, and when i wanted to flash the latest Bionix i got an error
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
every time i get this, i have to do another ODIN because it just does a loop in the android system recovery and will not get out, so i had to ODIN 3 times.
now when i try to flash a ROM it just keeps replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod recovery, i do the usual steps to install a ROM and it just does a loop. i tried different clockwork flash versions and either it wont let me install the older ones or the only 2 versions that work have loop problems.
HOW DO I FIX THIS, IM SO STRESSED OUT, THIS IS UNNECESSARY!
after doing install rom from sd option, i was able to get out of the loop but i got
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
i still cant flash anything and i already tried eugenes files.
got into clockwork but when i put install files from sd card > choose from sd then it when i choose update.zip it just goes back to the android system recovery.
then i put reinstall files from the android system recovery and it just sends me back to clockwork recovery...
Try a diff. tar for when you Odin, you may have a corrupt file. Have you try Eugen JK2 tar file, prerooted?
Are you clicking reinstall packages?
Are you going through clockwork or rom manager?
Did you install the root update zip to reroot?

Odin back to JFD (make sure to check repartition) then boot and let it go through loading, then root the phone, Then load CWM, then load your new rom and load from recovery NOT CWM, you will have no problems.

Ok I just went through this less than a month ago with my captivate. I have a twenty page topic on this EXACT issue. I had all the major devs pming me and doing everything under the sun for probably a total of thirty hours. Result - NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS. This issue is not specific to our phones, there have been cases of this on almost every android phone. Your gonna get people telling you to do all this elementary trouble shooting...the problem is far too deep dont waste your time. You can flash back to stock with every tar and pit file this side of samsung...not gonna work. SOMETHING is not getting wiped. Save yourself the time and sell the phone to someone who will not use custom roms.
Also no rm/wipe command through abd is gonna help either! Sorry just telling you from someone who experienced this hell. Also every thread in existence on the internet on this subject has died out without an answer. If you read for enough hours you will find out the hard way! Good luck my friend!

Custom recovery is never going to stick now. Every reboot now it is gonna be gone...dont know why but from my research, it is permanent.

Are you able to re install the original rom? I and many others with this issue had that unique problem of being able to install ONLY the rom that was running before everything went to hell. There lies the key I believe to all of this. What makes only one work.

LMAO!!! I understand that your frustrated but there is no need to blame other members. There is always a risk flashing a rom. If you are not willing to accept the risk then you shouldn't be flashing roms at all. Whitehawkx has helped many people in the vibrant community and its not his fault if YOU decide to flash his rom and don't know what your doing. You wont get much help around here with that attitude. Good luck

So I've was running team whiskeys bionic v 1.3 rom but after noticing some lag I decided to start from scratch and reinstall it. I disabled voodoo and flashed stock rom with Odin. Everything went well. Now here's my problem, I put my phone into recovery so that I can root it. But when I click "reinstall packages" I'm taken to the "clockwork recovery menu" (even though rommanager isnt installed). I try to install the the update.zip file from there (it works) but when my phone reboots, the super user app isn't installed and my phone still isn't rooted. Please help.
Are you going to try and flash a new rom or are you going to just root your phone and stick with the stock rom
Rom manager creates a update.zip file on your sd card that is the cw recovery update.zip If you want to root your phone using the update.zip method you have to delete the cw recovery update.zip file 1st
If you are going to flash a new rom then you don't have to root your phone just flash a new rom thru cw recovery and all the roms come rooted already
It is my understanding that the update.zip isn't a full root. Not sure how that works out...
Here is what i do. After u load the update.zip use the 3 button method to load whichever TW rom u want to use (I have bionix 1.3.1 and love it). This will give u full root access. This is what I do every time I load a new rom.
U should consider hitting up the TW crew on their IRC. They are great with help.

Hey guys thanks for ur help! Phones is now rooted and running bionix v 1.3.1 without problems. So basically all I did was a hard reset after flashing stock odin and then I just formatted the internal sd card which deleted all traces of ce recovery. Yes.it deleted everything else but I wanted to start from scratch anyways.
lOL MAYBE fixing permissions and installin root (superuser option in advance menu of recovery) form clockwork recovery WAS A EASIER OPTION ? but hey u got it anyway
I don't know if this is exactly the same issue you or not, but I did flash to stock rom (KB1), and now unable to root myself. I've used the superoneclick and still nothing happens. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Well the way I got it to work was after flashing odin, I just formatted the phones internal sd card. After that I just placed the update.zip file into the sd card rebooted into stock recovery and installed the file.

Hey, I've had my Vibrant since the phone launched and have been using ODIN since that became a thing so I'm no noob to the whole process but today, I went back to stock and was not able to download CWM from the market like I usually do. "No problem, I'll just grab the .apk," I said. So I got the .apk from the official rom manager website and my vibrant refuses to install it. Any ideas why this is happening?
You have to be on 2.2 to download rom manager, dont ask me why.

You know what? When I get to my PC in the morning, I am going to put that in my signature. Seems like a daily question. I think you and I have answered it more times that I'd like to believe.
For sure, I havent used odin in months,really only need it if your in the weeds. Very cool alans full wipe in the dev. section is all you really need to do for a new flash. My one year with rom manager is coming up and I dont really need it anymore.
Can also try going to 4shared and finding an older version of Rom Manager

So I can use "Very cool alan's full wipe" and go from ANY rom to ANY other rom without using a computer or odin? As long as rom is already on sd card and everything goes as it should?
Unless of course something really goes haywire. Then odin is the fail safe?

Hi there,
I tried to flash a new rom and it some how is stuck on the reboot screen.
Any help in what to do, would be great!
Thanks!
Pull the battery, put it back. Hold button combo to boot to recovery. Flash the ROM again but do not wipe. Reboot and you should be good.
FFR please list which ROM you are coming from and the ROM you are flashing.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Thanks, for your help!
I ended up taking out the battery, and then rebooting it, and it went to the Recovery mode.
I actually did wiped everything all over again, like you were doing it from the start originally, and it seemed to work fine.
I cant even remember what I was coming from, I had it on my Phone for almost two years, and it was old and the battery life was terrible.
I tried RemlCS-JB its not bad, but I think I am going to try another one. Any suggestions? I have been away from this forum for over a year, so anything recent with good battery life and good GPS is ideal.
The rom did not seem to come with an app downloader such as google play, or Clockwork manager.
Anyone know how to get into reboot recovery mode without clockworkmanager?
When I try to download clockworkmanager online it does not let me really download it.
When I try to install a new Auxura rom it states the following:
It says Installation aborted
Above that, it states please switch Edify scripting
Anyone know, if I have to do something else? I am just doing a normal Clockwork Flash.
I wiped the data/factory set, then tried to install the rom

Did you Odin back to stock before trying to flash a ROM that is a previous version of android? It could cause a lot of problems if you don't Odin back to stock first!
Did you flash gapps on the ROM that you said was missing apps etc?
Gapps is a package of Google apps that devas can't include in the ROM.
I wouldn't use ROM manager, in most ROMs, there is an option to reboot to recovery in power menu. You can also power down and use button combo to boot to recovery.
I highly suggest reading through some of the dev threads for any ROMs you are interested in. It will answer most of your questions and prevent future issues.

Oh yeah, it said to flash GAPPS after, but I never did. Where do you get GAAPS?
No, I dont even have ODIN installed on my computer and all of those drivers, so It is something I do not want to do.
It has been 2 years since, I switched, so I randomly flashed to this new one, but I want to try a different one, but seems to get an error.
Ill try a few other roms to see if they work though.

You can get the gapps from the op of the ROM thread or go to www.goo.im/gapps
As far as Odin etc
If you are on an ICS or JB ROM and want to go back to a froyo or GB ROM, you need to odin to stock first.
General rule of thumb, you can flash up but to flash down, Odin to stock first.
