sorry im new axura2.2 i followed the directions from austiclees on youtube oclf-titinium back up-rom manager, loaded rom from rom manager
When you boot the phone into clockwork recovery try to load .zip from sd and select Axura. Try it that way and get back to us.
im actually having a similar problem. Ive tried installing clockwork a few times now.
install rom manage from market
install clockwork
reboot to recovery
backup.
im trying the backup a second time now. i notice i have less space on my internal sd, so im assuming the first backup went fine, but when i reboot im still going to the samsung recovery and not clockwork.
i just uninstalled rom manager and im trying the process all over again.
am i doing something wrong?

So I flashed the latest bionix rom, and then a voodoo compatable kernel, and my phone started getting really screwy. I ODIN'd to stock, but I can't install packages or anything, or flash a new rom because my update.zip file was deleted.
What can I do? I've never had any issues with flashing on this phone, so I'm not good with troubleshooting.

Did you ODIN to JFD?
Just download the update.zip (its in my noob guide) and flash it from stock recovery
then flash CWR
You've made this very easy. Thank you.
I'm trying to flash the rom with CWM, but it wont reboot into recovery. When i hit "ok" to reboot, it just freezes up for a minute and then lets me select my rom again. I tried re-installing CWM but it still isn't working
Can you help explain where in the process you are?
I did what you said in the first place, and i was able to reinstall packages in stock recovery.
Now, I'm trying to flas a rom with rom manager, and it wont reboot into clockworkmod recovery.
Rom Manager > install rom from SD card > i select the rom, click okay to reboot.
Once i click okay, the screen freezes there for a moment, and the i see the screen where i select which rom i want to install. It never goes to reboot.
I am trying to put Clockwork Recovery on the Vibrant and when I first boot it I need to manually select "reinstall packages". I usually have to do this two times in a row and then it boots into the cw recovery. But when I reboot into the recovery it boots back into the samsung recovery and I have to select "reinstall packages" again to get into cw. This isn't normal correct? I saw that I should only have to do this once and then it should boot into cw recovery everytime with no problems. The phone came with 2.2 stock.
In my experience with stock roms, i have to hit re-install packages twice to go to clockwork recovery.
Well what I am wondering is do you have to do that everytime you want to go into the recovery? Also could that possibly affect the phone to where I would not be able to restore it back to factory if something were to go wrong if I flashed a new ROM?
i assume you have rom manager right? You can do select reboot into recovery so that it will bring you straight to clockwork mod recovery. Also there's an app called "quick boot", that can make you go to recovery or download mode faster.
And no that won't affect anything when you want to flash another rom.
Your fine. Recovery will not effect going to back to stock because odin overrides all. Like the other guy said when your using a stock rooted rom you almost always have to hit it twice. Flash a custom rom and it will always go into recovery with out a hitch.

Ok, thank you for your help. I didn't know if it was having a problem or something.
Sorry for the bump, but I didnt want to start a new thread.
I'm having this same problem, but reinstalling the packages isnt working. I've done it 3 or 4 times

This should help you out.
Thanks for the link. I decided it is probably a better idea just to get a new kernal. My vibrant has andriod 2.1.1 right now. I read elsewhere that custom kernals come with clockwork recovery, plus that would eliminate any problems with my current kernal and the 2.2.1 ROM I am about to flash... Right?
Just need a guide for it.
Edit: I'm trying this. How long is it supposed to take?
Edit2: it failed when it trys to stop the adb server.
Hey guys, I rooted my device with the CF-KG2 kernal and am trying to use Rom Manager with Clockwork Mod 4.0.1.5. to install Cyanogen mod.
I can't get into CWM recovery for anything after installing without getting:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I can't find a solution to this on google or anywhere on this forum.
I also tried manually wiping my data/cache and installing the cyanogen nightly 26 with the CWM 4.0 included with CF kernal. It installs fine but won't boot past the samsung logo, so I had to restore.
Any help is appreciated!
Do a fresh download of a cm7 nightly.
Put it into your internal sd card.
Boot into cwm recovery
Wipe data/cache/dalvik
Flash cm7 zip
If you get stuck at the screen flash the zip again from recovery and it should boot.
Also, don't flash it via flash update, do it via flash zip.

Thanks a ton. Believe it or not just installing the zip twice actually installed cyanogen perfectly. Amazing.

It's weird, seems to be due to custom versions of cwm recovery in most kernels, the other way todo it is to flash codeworx's cwm kernel then cm7, which seems to make it work with one flash of cm, but glad to hear you got it going.

I also have the same problem, errors when trying to boot CWM recovery. Did not allow me to back up anything. and now my phone is stuck on the Galaxy S 2 boot screen and keeps on looping. I think I was using lightning ROM previously. What is the next thing I should do to make the phone work again.
Once the phone works, how do I get CM7 on it? Thanks so much. I am a new user and am not really familiar with the process.

Pull the battery and boot to cwm again. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and flash cm7 (provided u put it on ur sd card).
If not, flash a stock rom, let boot and place latest cm7 .zip on ur ad card. Flash a kernel with cwm and flash cm7 .
I also have this problem. Also I can't back up my current rom, because it gives the same message as in First post. And I want to flash MIUI -rom. What to do?
Any solutions to this? I rooted using Zedomax's Method. all went smoothly. When I went into Rom Manager to backup, it said I had to flash CWM, I said ok. Now I get the same error as the OG. Don't know if the recovery worked prior to going into ROM Manager. I'm thinking of running the Zedomax's Method again to see if it reinstalls a workable CWM.
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

Hello all,
I've looked on the Forum but can't seem to find the answer to this. In fact, I only found a comment about this issue on another forum and there were no solutions. Here's the problem:
I'm running a rooted T-Mobile Vibrant with Froyo 2.2. I don't have any lagfix or additional kernels, I have ROM Manager and Titanium Backup. I'm trying to flash Bionix Next Gen V2.
The first time I did it, I got the failed verification error, so used the batch file on this forum to fix the 3e recovery installer, did that, and the result is the same.
So, here's where I am:
-I go into rom manager, do the flash clockworkmod recovery, I'm on 2.5.1.2
-I have the update.zip and bionix.zip both on my sd card.
-I go to Install Rom from SD Card, choose Bionix, check backup existing rom and wipe data and cache.
-I click ok, it reboots it, gets me into recovery.
-THIS is where I have trouble. There is no option to "Install Zip from SD Card", only to "Reinstall Package". If I do that, it reboots the phone to my regular Froyo.
I can't seem to understand why the option to install Zip from SD Card isn't showing up even though it did the very first time I tried flashing (when I got the verification error).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm so close that it's very frustrating.
Thanks in advance!
Flash back to 2.1 and use the update.zip in the noob guide sticky to install clockwork recovery. Clockwork doesn't play nice on the stock 2.2

Thanks again!
