Stupidly someone had my phone and went onto oclf and unrooted my device and now I am not sure how to re root the device. I tried to adb reboot but it goes straight to clockwork and when I try to clockwork-update zip nothing happens. It was rom'd to Eugene Ginger Clone R2 Froyo Edition. Please help? thanks

This is what i use every time I need to root.
Usually its after I have odined back to stock. I dont know if it will work if your on a froyo rom.
I've tried used that actually. but I haven't been able to do anything it just goes to clockwork reboot not stock so I can't reinstall packages.
Did you actually check to see if you lost root?
If you did just backup your apps, odin to jfd and root with the update.zip file.

I rooted many times before and this is the first time i ran into this problem.
In recovery mode it says E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory). I even tried the one click root/unroot program to no avail.
I think the problem started when i was on Bionix 1.4w/Jacs OC/UV/Voodoo kernel and JI5 modem. I decided i want to upgrade to JI6 from bionix 1.5. I did the disable-lagfix in the voodoo folder, restarted my phone and check with terminal and typed mount to see if it was disabled which it was.
Now here is what started giving me problems. After the voodoo was disabled i notice a whole bunch of my apps including the market, clockwork recovery, titanium back up, setcpu and all rooted programs was missing. So before i decided to upgrade to bionix 1.5. I removed the disable-lagfix and rebooted my phone. When the phone was rebooted the missing apps are still missing.
Next thing i decided to do was restore my phone back to stock rom following the steps in the bionix 1.5 thread, which requires flashing it w/ eugene froyo rom then flashing it again w/ stock vibrant 2.1 rom.
Now since im on the stock 2.1 rom i havent been able to root my phone either doing it the manual way or using one click root/unroot program. PLEASE HELP me find a solution
that happened to me once, I just went through the option to flash a zip file and browsed for the file and it worked instead of doing the update.zip option
Yeah, I dont have that option to flash because I cant get rooted.
I figured it out. Close thread please.
I downloaded and installed this rom a few weeks ago: Vibrant AOSPish JK2 v1.1
(link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832532 )
I had a HARD time getting into recovery, so I decided to use Rom Manager. Once there, I realized I need to reflash a recovery image (who knows why I got the stock recovery screen).
I rebooted, then RomManager states that I'm not rooted, and that "superuser was not found at system bin su"
I'm CLEARLY using something other than the stock rom, so I don't see how I'm not rooted.
Any ideas?
cant you just re-root it again? i mean it takes one click and a couple of mins..
You probably just managed to unroot yourself sometime after installing the ROM, if you use RyanZA's OCLF unrooting is too easy.... I've done so in class.
Anyways, use the OCLF to re-root and ROM Manager to install clockwork, and flash away!
I am coming from one of team whiskeys 2.1 roms and I havent looked much into other roms since then about 2 months ago or so. I want to try going Froyo with Nero 3. I have Odin downloaded and kind of get how to use it and stuff. But when going from eclair to froyo everybody says to odin to stock.. Well which rom is the stock one and is it stock 2.1 I am supposed to odin back to or is it the 2.2 stock? and Is there any other steps I should follow after odin-ing back to "stock" I have downloaded much of what I needed and have been searching for a while And i remember seeing a post a long while ago on the steps i should follow but my search skills aren't the greatest. Thanks in advance for any help!

If you are on Fusion 2.1, just use rom manager and install this using install from SD card option. You should be OK. If that does not help try ODIN.
Incase you are stuck and need to revert back to stock or want to take the long route just incase then use this file
Stock Rom
PIT File for ODIN
Thanks. I just tried it and everything seemed to have flashed over okay. I just didnt know if it was required to odin to stock first or not. Everything is working pretty good so far. gonna mess around with a few new kernels now.
Cant seem to get clockwork mod recovery to work
Any suggestions on how to get back into the clockwork mod recovery so i can install from zips again?

Install Rom Manager from Market, Make sure you have Busy Box & Super user app. Launch rom Manager, Select Clockwork Recovery, Select your device from pop up window. Select Reboot to Clockwork Recovery menu. Phone will restart, select reinstall packages it will restart again and take you into Clockwork menu.
Tried this twice and it keeps taking me back to the stock recovery mode... Dont know why.
*edit*
Had to reinstall packages twice and it finally worked. Everything is gravy. Gonna see if the SuperIO kernel is better than the stock+Voodoo5...
Hello All,
I rooted my Vibrant many times with the One Click Root by TGA Gunman. But this time I could not get root.
I tried Nero V3 with Voodoo. I wanted to go back to Obsidian V3, great battery life. I disabled Voodoo. I flashed back to stock T959UVJFD with Odin, let the phone sit for 10 minutes. I tried rooting it many times and failed. I got this error code:
E:can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted
My phone came with stock T959UVJI6, rooted and install Nero V3. I used T9595UVJFD to flash back because Odin won't recognized JI6.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks!
P.S does any know where I get custom ROM, pre-rooted, in tar
Mod - please close thread
I am going to try S15274n Root for Noob

So I'm assuming you're getting that error while trying to Reinstall Packages? If so, then the root was unsuccessful for some reason, push the OCLF app to your /system/app directory and there you can install it using Files or some other file program like AndroZip.
Link to OCLF App:

The app is outdated but it will still root your device just fine.
Thanks!
HI bobbbb,
I tried OCFL as you suggested. Installed, but cannot run, required Root. I read s15274n post in Q&A , Root for Noob. I placed update zip file, follow instruction. Here is what happen.
I download ROM Manager, able to use it and goes into recovery. I tried to install a ROM, but it stuck on looking for update zip file. Don't have one.
But still cannot install Titanium Backup, no root access.
Very odd.
The EXACT thing happened to me last week. I used ODIN to go back to JFD and then used Kies to go flash JI6. When I tried to flash later on, I started getting that message. After I got ROM manager on my phone I tried flashing CE recovery and it said it flashed, but I could never get into CW recovery to flash a new ROM or root. I tried a bunch of things like moving update.zip to my other drive, renaming files, etc.....It all went away when I went to settings/manage applications, then moved ROM manager to the internal card. Apparently it got transferred somehow through screwing around earlier with the phone. Don't know if that helps, but I couldn't find anyone who had the same issue, just got lucky...good luck.
Hi, Ok, so I am new at this and I have a samsung galaxy vibrant on tmobile...i got it and it was running eclair 2.1, I figured out how to root it and then upgraded to froyo 2.2. Now I am wanting to get either Bionix ROM or Nero V3. I have followed all the steps, got rommanager, did the flash clockworkmod recovery, dowloaded the zip file and put it in the root of my sd, but when i go to reboot, it wont run as clockwork, no matter how many times i try!
I read that it is because 2.2 has recovery e3 and i need e2...so it says t download a kernal that contains clockwork recovery but the problem is i cannot find one. I can find stuff all day long about the galaxy I9000 but nothing on the vibrant!
I have Odin and was wondering can I flash the rom straight to the phone?
My model number is SGH-T959, Kernel is 2.6.32.9, and build is FROYO.UVKB5.
Please help me, I really have no clue what I am doing, I just want my phone to run fast, get a nice looking theme for it, and not have to worry about it messing up and from what i have read the only way to that is to get a custom ROM and the only way to get themes is thru a custom ROM....
So if anyone can tell me how to go about getting my phone to recover using clockwork and any links i need to download the stuff I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!!
Just bricked my phone i think!!!
Ok so i just followed all of the directions on this sight on how to do it, i backed up my apps with titanium then put my phone in download mode with odin and tried to flash the kernal for my phone to upgrade it and on odin it just said on the screen part, modem, it was green and nothing else happened so i unplugged it because it wouldnt reboot even after waiting a while (10min) and then the screen just showed a broken link between phone and comp and wouldnt change, so i looked at how to restore it with odin and did that and now it will go to the download screen again but nothing else! PLEASE HELP!!!!
