Hey guys... I have a quick question for you root/flashers... I successfully did the axura 2.2 rom about 2 weeks ago and I love it. However, Master keeps coming with updates and I would like to update also. I'm a noob so I been doing some research. I hear that I should Odin to stock (I have the program but don't know how to do so), and then I'm hearing that I can just flash over my 2.2 rom... I'm really confused and I definitely do not want to brick this phone. I just want the safest, easiest way to re-flash axura 2.2.5.7 or any other rom... This will help in the future also... Thanks in advance!!!
Just flash over IF THEY ARE THEY UPDATE OF THE SAME ROM. Use clockwork recovery and select back up rom ONLY.

For my own information are you telling him to back up his present rom in rom manager and then use clockwork recovery to"install rom from sd" card or to go into clockwork recovery and"install zip from sd card etc."?
o thanks didnt know I can just flash over... so no need to delete anything right?

If you need I can upload the update.zip for the recovery if you need....
this is the update.zip from my Vibrant for clockwork recovery, I take no responsibility if it messes anything up
I just found the update.zip on my internal sd card then dropboxed it so I could share it
I'm no expert, I run voodoo, so I'm not sure if that will mess anything up

Tried to install CM7 on my Vibrant 2.2 Rooted using Superoneclick method - Phone has superuser, Busybox, rom manager premium. I tried to flash clockwork recovery...
Clicked on Rom Manager
Clicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Tried both Galaxy S Vibrant and Vibrant (MTD) options (seperately)
current recovery showed both versions after each flash and reboot
Clicked reboot into recovery
Phone boots into stock recovery
Tried reinstall packages like 5 times after each flash
always get signature verification errors
Im stuck here.. Could not figure out how to get past this issue
Any help greatly appreciated!
Only flash cwm recovery mtd 2.xxx since you're going from froyo to cm7.
Flash the recovery again, reboot into recovery, reinstall package, wipe data, reboot......sometimes this worked when I had issues a while ago.
Please back up everything before you flash...
I have just learned that I have the Stock 3e recovery on my phone... I have read that on the I9000 that you have to flash a new kernal... Im not sure if this is my problem, but last time I did this I bricked my phone where it would not power at ALL
On your phone, go to settings, applications, development, is debugging checked?

Thats the exact Thread I was using before
1. Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2. Flash Recovery.
3. Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4. Accept the Superuser prompt.
5. On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6. Watch the backup go!
After step 5 It always says signature verification failed, no matter how man times i click it or reboot phone
Even if I force reboot by holding all three buttons or reboot into recovery from rom managers menu it does this
Have you heard of this 3e recovery not working and only 2e works
Did you use Odin to flash the kernel that's posted?
Here is froyo that has modified recovery and it's rooted.....makes everything easier

Well I decided to flash using the file you specified... this file gave me the GTI9000 software that bricked my phone last time... I hope it doesnt brick my phone --- This is not the SGH-T959 Firmware....

Well I got it back to the original software because it did brick my phone again, but it was just a soft brick. I restored it back to 2.2 froyo and I have it rooted again.. Not sure what to do now, I think i need to try getting back to the 2e recovery system

Ill be free later if you want to work on this.....sorry about the soft brick, I've done it this way and it never bricked, but not every phone is the same
if u want to install cm7 on ur phone its really quite easy! odin back to stock 2.1 as 2.1 is easier to root then froyo. Once ur at 2.1 root the eclair method by installing the update package twice and the second time it should turn green. Now go into Rom manager premium it wont u download the cm7 nightlies if ur on 2x! Pick Vibrantmtd and pick 3x not 2x. then when thats done go into downloads and download the newest cm7 nightlie which is 33#. For ur first nightlie always choose all three! Wipe data, wipe dalvik, backup rom. Then when u move on to #34 u only have to pick the 2-wipe dalvik and backup rom. As its always good to wipe data on ur first cm7 nightlie. With rom manager premium its as easy as 1.2,3

Lol Tried this when I had to flash back to stock after I soft bricked my phone... For some reason, every time I tried to root it again it would always tell me I was already rooted, but would not let me actually reinstall the packages... I tried the update.zip method and the superoneclick with both exploits. Its like even if I wipe it something gets stuck behind..

Was it the same software that you flashed? cause the Eugene software in your link always puts the I9000 software on it... Its a Vibrant(SGH-T959) and the boot screen changed to I9000 and it wouldnt boot past that when I flashed it with yours.

very simple, if you have already done the "flash CWM" via Rom Manager, then you should have an update.zip file in your root. Odin back to stock and hit reinstall packages. It should reboot into recovery. Hit reinstall packages again and you should have green clockwork..
OR
You can try to flash a stock + voodoo kernel via Odin as well.

Hi,
I'm going to have a go at rootin my HTC Legend. I have 2.2 and hboot 1.0
I'm going to use the following guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465
But I'm not sure about one bit.
"Next step is upgrading of rooted FroYo ROM. Put FroYo update ROM zip to your sdcard and install it via ClockworkMod recovery"
Where do I get the rooted FroYo update ROM file they are talking about ? Does it mean the rootedupdate.zip in the r4-legend-root zip?
Cheers.

Thanks for the info!!
I have managed to root and install 2.1 but I can't get Clockwork Mod Recovery to work.
I donwloaded the ROM manager and told it to flash recovery, I don't think that worked as I can't reboot into it.
Any idea? Phone appears to be rooted as I an SU to it and also Titanium backup starts up and gets root ok. I am probably missing something.
Cheers.
Manged to fix it!!! Loaded CM6 via recovery then managed to get Clockwork Mod to install.
All running nicely now, thanks for the help!!!!!

why not flash pentafives ed05 2.2 then root? is there a reason you want to stay on eclair? I believe superoneclick works on 2.1

no thats old school...most roms here are prerooted now. u can simply odin powerwashed eh09 gingerbread and be rooted, debloated, and ready to roll. then go back to odin and flash cwm 2.5.x, so you can do nandroid backups and flash other roms like tsm 1.0. If you want aosp mtd roms such as miui,cm7, tsm pool party, all you need to do is odin cwm4 fixed for cm7, three finger boot into recovery, wipe data,cache,dalvik, and install mtd zip. Once it boots never use three finger recovery again. you can access recovery by long pressing the power button. pre rooting is a thing of the past and is only needed if your looking to stay on a stock rom to debloat, and use root apps such as wireless tether, root explorer, tibu, etc...

nope, rom manager only works "ok" with mtd based roms...I highly suggest you use a computer and familiarize yourself with odin or heimdall. I don't think there is a root method out there that will work without a pc for the fascinate.
so then i NEED to be rooted, to flash cwm?
this is what im thinking
connect to pc, and use 1 click root, to root my 2.1 stock phone
dl rom manager from the market, and flash the cwm
install my customrom.zip (com rom)
all done?

yes in this case you will need to be rooted to flash cwm, since you doing it thru rom manager... those steps should work
Hello. I have some problem with my Galaxy Ace (FROYO 2.2.1). I tried to install ClockWorkMod but i think i did somthing wrong (i think i followed the steps for GINGERBREAD). My phone works fine but when i try to access recovery mode (POWER+HOME) it freezes at SAMSUNG mode. Is it a way to restore to previous recovery mode? If i reset to factory from setting, will it restore? Wat is the best way to have ClockWorkMod installed, because i tried to find on forum but every post doesn't give all steps, but just ACRONIMS that i don't understand. Please help me.
that because u flash clockworkmod recovery for gingerbread on froyo.
u need to flash stock gingerbread rom via odin and u'll get stock recovery back.
after that u can continue to flash clockworkmod recovery for gingerbread like u did earlier on froyo and u'll have fully working clockworkmod recovery.
no acronims typed
I conseder myself a smart guy (regular smart). I jailbreaked my iphone and Ipad. I HARD SPLed my HTC diamond and HD2 and installed a lot of cooked roms. BUT i find quite dificult to understand how to do what you told me up: how do I know what GINGERBREAD ROM is best for my ACE? How do i use ODIN (where i get the TAR and OPS?) I am not lazy. I know how to use the forum and search button. But for 2 days i'm reading and i don't understand...(a lot of acronims and not many follow-up steps). Thks a lot...if you can help me
for me myself, best gingerbread rom is cm7.2. it still unofficial, still contains bugs, and battery drain is noticeable compared to stock rom. but its suites me well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380800
for custom rom based on stock, gingerreal 2.0 seems pretty good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228436
eitherway, because u still on froyo u need to flash stock samsung's gingerbread via odin first, then flash clockworkmod recovery.
read this howto use odin to flash stock gingerbread rom, but first do backup all your data.
http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/09/odin-guide-how-to-updateupgrade-samsung.html
then u can continue to flash clockworkmod recovery.
download the ClockWorkModAce.zip file, put in sdcard, turn off phone, reboot into stock recovery (home+power button) and flash it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168417
now that u have stock gingerbread with clockworkmod recovery, u can flash any custom rom based on stock like gingerreal, or cm7.1 or cm7.2.
read instruction howto flash those rom on first page of those rom respective thread.
Thks for the reply. you helped me a lot. But i managed to recover the recovery )) by ODIN and a TAR custom made for fix. And a managed to install CWM. But i will start to put GINGERBREAD. I can put the ROM from your link? Isn't custom for everyphone to have different ROM? I mean my phone has PDA: S5830XWKAA PHONE: S5830XXKA6 and CSC: S5830OXXKA7. What all these number means? Do i have to check them when choosing a ROM? Thank you!
so now u still on froyo right?
u need to flash stock samsung's gingerbread first. all of those custom rom need stock gingerbread rom as base, cannot directly flash them onto froyo.
read my previous post, the link to flash samsung's stock gingerbread using odin.
I've read. I upgraded to gingerbread you helped me a lot Anytime you come in ROMANIA i buy you a beer ))
i'm glad it works
