i was wondering becuase i cant flash clockwork mod... it gives "an error occurred while downloading your recovery" and i really need to flash it to install a custom rom.. plz someone help! is there anyway i could manually flash it.. like download the clockwork mod and set it on the sd and flash it?
can you go to the bottom of rom manager and install a downgrade/experimental version?
nop gives me that same thing =/ an error occurred while downloading your recovery.. what could it be? i flashed that gingerbread rom.. than i odin back to stock.. could that have anything to do with it?
to be more specific about the gingerbread rom i flashed it was this one
[ROM][BETA-2] 2.3.2 - XWJV1 [Gingerbread on Vibrant!][EDT][3.6.2011][BETA-2]
Then it probably is. It was down earlier this month too...

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

first of all I'm really stupid when it comes to flashing this roms.... and even though i know that i flashed a rom i think the name of the rom was r3, which was suppose to be the software for the FFC of the vibrant. i fu.. up really bad and now my phone is stuck in the GALAXY S gt 19000.... knowing tht i might not be able to install the flash correctly i did a nandroid backup... but when i go into system recovery(pressing the up and down button and the power) i only get 4 options the reboot system, reinstall packages, delete all user data, and delete cache data.... but i dont know how to get into the nandroid recovery....
What your doing is entering stock recovery. You need to enter clockwork recovery (nandroid is a feature of clock work). You can enter clockwork recovery through stock by selecting "reinstall packages." This should bring you into another recovery with more options. Select nandroid/back up and restore. I believe the option is not named nandroid in the new update in clockwork recovery in order to avoid confusion....

every time i do thst it says E:can't open/sdcard/update.zip no such file.. installation aborted
ahhh and my volume button are al messed up the up button is down now and the down button is up now... did i just broke my phone???
It looks like you installed Eugenes newest froyo which wipes everything on your internal memory so that means your CW update zip file and your nandroid backup was deleted as well.
Same happen to me So I just started all over again flashing back to stock with odin and going with Bionix fusion, it also have FFC support as well.
P.S.your phone is not broken, you just need to decide where you want to go from here,
im trying to do that my problem is that i have a mac and i cant really find a video or a guide that shows me how to flash odin using a mac..... do u happen to know how to???
wow, dont know how to do that.
Do you have adb set up? If so you can use android commander to transfer the CW udate zip to your internal sd card. I can upload to for you if you need. Once you have that you can The 2.1 Vibrant kernel then flash any rom of your choice.
Or find a freind that had a pc and use odin from there.
Did you give the phone enough time to boot up? Give it at least 10min.
yes i downloaded the adb. i have my phone in download mode. i dont know where to get the android command...
sorry dude, just read its for windows only. Hmm!

I get the same message after backing up the ROM in CW. I do however see a recovery-update.zip file inside Clockworkmod folder on SDCard.
How come the update.zip file is not placed on the root after the ROM backup is complete? What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE:
I renamed the file to update.zip and placed it on the root. Tested and worked!
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?
Ok so i downloaded rom manager and selected the top option flash clockworkmod recovery and picked my phone ( im already rooted by using the one step click root) and then i picked install rom from SD card and picked my room (which is Bi-winning v3) and my phone turned off and rebooted and went into the samsung recovery screen i tried to reinstall packages but gave me a error , i even tried the "all clockworkmod" recoveries and no luck same thing happens boots me up to the samsung recovery.
Does any one know what am doing wrong or what i can do to fix this problem?? thanks in advance and im still on my stock android os have't changed anything.
First, you need to start with a clean SD card. Then, open ROM Manager, flash cwr etc. etc. When it is finished downloading, power off the phone and reboot into recovery. From there (this is where the clean SD card is needed) then hit "reinstall packages, then hit reboot. This should bring up the iconic green text. reply if there are any problems.

hmm so do i need to clean my sd before i flash cwr or do i do it when i reboot my system?? from the android recovery screen??
Is not very clear to me. Did you flash your phone previously? have you done ODIN, kies, etc? have you tried this?

For some reason Rom Manager is not flashing CWR right. I couldn't get it to stick for hours. Just kept rebooting into normal load.
Follow the instructions above and you should be good to go. The 1.72mb update.zip should give you root and CWR

Im not sure how to use odin and what does it do ?? and i read the the topic you linked and seems like im not the only one having problems
Just download that update.zip he referenced (that I put there), and flash it.. instead of using Rom Manager.
it will root and install CWR for you.
I need to update my guides.

i highly suggest you learn how to use ODIN in the Vibrant Bible. If you're doing anything that has to do with rooting and flashing your phone, be sure you know how to revert back to stock. You WILL NEED TO at some point or another or find out what if feels like to own a brick.

Hey guys, I'm basically screwed right now. I deleted many major applications from the /system/apps drawer. I am running Mac 10.5 on my laptop currently and I want to know how do I flash a working ClockworkMod.
I know, there are plenty of threads about this, but none gave me a REAL answer.
I'm on a Mac, So I can't ODIN in. It needs to be done on 2.2 Froyo.
Everytime I instal a CWM, It boots into Android Recovery and When I hit "reinstall packages", It doesnt do anything.
Please, tell me how to flash a working cwm recovery so I can flash another ROM stable for my Vibrant.
Try not to send me links, because I've seen them all. but If you think that link is the one, please show me.
Thanks In advace guys.
Did you do a backup before anything?

ok so you can just download the cwm recovery and put it on your sd card and power your phone off then hold volume down and power it should flash the file itself if you cant get to the phone at all other then bootloader try mounting your sd card with another phone or with a micro sd adapter moving the file to the sd and doing what i told you before. that should help..
u might fail signature verification just doing update.zip
i think it should go like :
install odin in windows
flash 2.1
install clockwork
flash whatever u want
cant you use the rom manager from the market to install any fooxx.zip?
So Im trying to install a custom Rom from stock on my homie's Vibrant but I noticed the free Rom Manager app is absent from the Market. The licence for the Premium version is there and you can download it but the free version has to be installed first. I tried pulling the one from my Vibrant and tried to install it in the now rooted stock Vibrant but it wont install and Im not even sure if you could do that anyways. I also tried just installing Clockwork Mod by renaming the zip file update.zip and flashing it with the stock recovery and I was able to get it to the "green" cwm recovery screen but everytime I tried to either wipe the catche or try to flash the custom Rom it would just freeze. Is there a work aroud to this. Thx in advance.

Was happening with me too yesterday. You need 1.7 mb update.zip file I believe. Return to jfd through odin and then go from there.
Same thing happened to me yesterday after a disastrous flash and an Odin back to stock!
Luckily I was able to Bluetooth the apk to myself from my wifes phone.

if I am not mistaken, I notice that noob guide does flash CWR (method B) but it does not root the android phone since there is no ROM Manager installed.
