I have no ideal how to do anything... and is willing to try anything. CWM Recovery Will Not Install Roms... Error comes up- Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5
it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to clockwork 3.0 gingerbread based recovery please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborded
Does anyone know how to update Amend to edify on the Fascinate?
Well, generally that decision is up to those making the scripts. I believe you're just looking to make it where you can flash things in CWM, and you need a different version of Clockwork to do that. Simply download the "cwm-recovery-ALL.zip" and flash that (Or use the Odin .tar file, either works the same)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Now go flash something. Wait, that came out wrong.
Its not working... i installed both ways... odin installed, but didnt work... i tried to flash it, but it said i needed to update to edify... help?
First, don't boot into CWM from ROM Manager. Avoid this. if you Odin it, then boot into CWM manually by shutting phone down, hold volume up, down, and power. When you see the samsung logo, release only the power. Continue holding volume up and down until cwm appears.
Do not use ROM Manager for any flashing on the fascinate, otherwise you end up exactly where you are. It's a great program, but it currently does not play nice with the fascinate.
What should i flash with? cwm isnt comping up... whats should i try? it comes up cannot find update.zip when i click install update.zip. cwm dosent come up when i keep holding the volume up volume down buttons

Flashing not working. Same problem: Need switch to edify scripting...
works best for me when I odin a .tar package of CWR, I've had a lot of problems flashing a clockwork. zip.. sounds like you guys need an edify-only 3.x version of it, I think in the ComRom thread there's a link to one and if I remember correctly the one I'm using is "CWM3-Voodoo" (no voodoo kernels or anything required however)

Ok, after successfully rooting and putting EB01 on my phone, I discovered that when I tried to install zip files from my sd card that I was taken into Samsung recovery (blue). I found out that my CWM was dated, and needed a new one. In looking for the most current version, I installed CWM 3.0.0.8. Now when I attempt to install from SD, I am rebooted into red CWM, but it doesn't like the script, so it aborts installation of whatever ROM I try to install. Update.zip kicks me into CWM 3.0.0.8, and when I try to install from there I get a similar message. I have tried to flash a different CWM through Odin, but nothing changes. I have also tried to use the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" option, but it tells me "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" regardless of which version I select.
I am running Superclean 2.2 and have Rom Manager v3.0.1.0
I did see a similar thread to this for an HTC Hero phone, and it seemed to indicate the CWM I installed is for Gingerbread. Hoping there might be an easy fix to this I am overlooking so that I don't have to start from scratch. TIA!
It's not JUST for Gingerbread. The scripting language that the newest cwm uses is edify. And the latest cwm doesnt support the older scripting languages that the zip scripts used to be written in. so all the scripts need to be updated to use edify. And they'll work fine. Even on froyo.

Also, the newest version of Superclean (2.7) uses edify, so you should be able to flash that in CWM 3.x

Ok, that makes sense. Is there anything I can do to update the scripts?
I am trying to do the same thing. I want to have a Rom Manager version on my phone that allows me to use the 'install zip from sd card' function in the program and run the scripts correctly.
I have replace the update.zip and update-recovery.zip with th red jt1134 CWM zip, but the latest version of CWM seems to write scripts entirely differently, so it'll get me into recovery and then recovery can't run the scripts. Any idea of how I can go back to a prior version of Rom Manager?

Odin. Here's the page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Just use manual cwm for now. The ROM Manager is going to fudge it for the time being. I don't trust RM to do a proper wipe before install either. It would be nice to use the RM gui, but its better to just spend a few extra minutes to make sure things get done right.
How do you get into CWM
How do you get into CWM without Rom Manager????

If you already have a super clean rom, just hold your power button to pop up the power down screen. Then select the option for "Recovery".
OR
Turn off phone. While turning it on, hold the power button+up volume+down volume. The Samsung logo will turn on, then turn off. Release the buttons and it will come on again then boot to recovery. Then select the option "update.zip" to launch into CWR.
So far what are the problems with the new CWR recovery 3.0? I want to flash to the newest SCv2.9 but Im reading some iffy comments on it. What are the possible drawbacks and is the only way to get back to CWR 2.5 through Odin? because since I own a mac this is a ***** and a half to do! Can you also run CWR 2.5 on SCv2.9?
Thanks in advance.

I've had trouble getting certain versions of clockwork to work on the initial flash. And using the Flash Clockwork option from the Clockwork app doesn't work intially for me in any version.
What version are you using?
Also, what version of OS are you running (DL09, EA28, etc.).
I believe adrynalyne mentioned this in one of his posts, but I read some of the new stock kernels don't allow CWM. If it detects this, it will overwrite the Recovery section and get rid of CWM.
If this is what's happening to you, once you install CWM, you have to turn on the phone and immediately go into recovery. You will need to install a custom kernel to allow CWM to stay on there.
Look in the development forum, and there's a thread in there that talks about this. It might just impact certain builds, though, so it might not be what you're seeing.
Yea you odin the cwm and then you load your rom when cwm boots up. Dont use rom manager as it can delete your cwm and you have to reodin it back

I have successfully been able to root and install everything on my Mytouch4G just fine, however, when I tried to install my wife's Vibrant, I am stuck. Here is what I have done:
1) I rooted successfully using superoneclickv1.9.1
2) I installed ROM Manager and also downloaded the Auxora ROM to get ready to install
3) When I flash CWM recovery, it says current and latest recover is 2.5.1.2 (concern here that my mytouch says 3.0.2.4 - do different phones install differently with CWM?). When I look at all CWM recoveries I also notice there is two seemingly more current versions available 2.5.1.3 and 2.5.1.4. I have left it at .2 but wondering why all the versions.
4) When I reboot into recovery, I always get the stock recovery and have not been able to get CWM recovery so I am unable to flash my Auxora ROM. I ran update packages numerous times, and get a signature verification error. I have tried a recovery 3e patch that does not work either. I also gave a try at downloading and SDK, but received temp root errors (phone is already rooted).
After reading many posts, I cannot seem to get a direct answer on what I should do to get CWM to actually boot properly, so I can flash a ROM. Someone said to flash the stock JDK rom, but if I can't boot into recovery, how can I flash anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to get a program for your pc called odin to get back to stock. you can find that and instructions on how to use it if you search for the daily updated vibrant bible its GREAT

going to stock eclair heres a a great guide
So going back to stock eclair will then allow me to install CWM recovery then load roms?
Every once n a while I haft do the install packages thing twice before it gives me clockwork green
. Hope this helps.. o n btw u should look at some of the other roms in the bible before u try auxora
yes u should go back to stock eclair for every rom, in my opinion. Then after that do the 3 button combo and install packages and u will have to do it twice and then the green screen will kick in and ready to rock a new rom.
i hope this helps
What is your current firmware?
I see you posted over in the "NOOB GUIDE" thread, you should really try to root using the method posted there and not any one click root apps.
This should be the root method everyone uses:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479
After root your phone recovery should be blue. Choose "reinstall packages" gives you green recovery(this may need to be repeated multiple times to work possibly including flashing CwMRecovery with ROM manager. I recently did it 5 times b4 i got green recovery)Once you access green recovery chose "apply sdcard:update.zip" go into advanced and choose "reboot recovery" This should give you red recovery. Do a nandroid backup and flash away. Good luck!
Another option you could do is to download SGS kernel flasher from the market and flash a voodoo injected kernel with that app. Then when you boot into recovery you will have red voodoo recovery and you can flash away.

The stock 2.2 that Samsung distributed with their Kies tool has a recovery that checks signatures. Everything earlier does not check signatures. So either use something earlier to get CWM running, or use a ROM that doesn't have the stock 2.2 recovery in the first place, or mod your recovery using the method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Using Odin to go back to stock Eclair between your flashes of modded roms has the benefit of taking care of this, and also can clear up left over bits and pieces that may interfere with the proper function of your new ROM.
ok, i followed the instructions and am back to eclair, however, whenever I install packages, it just reboots the phone, not even back into stock recovery. I use the 3 key method and get into recovery, run install packages, and the phone just boots back up...its like it isn't running the update.zip file...
UPD: When i load rom manager and try to reboot into recovery, it says the application superuser permissions has stopped unexpectedly and keeps force closing now....titanium backup wont run now either, my root permissions seem whacked after going back to eclair?
UPD2: I followed instructions to unroot and reroot here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
It removed superuser, then added it back again, but I still get the unexpected error and it appears my root is not in place. I am back to eclair, and now need a certain way to get my root fixed, so I can try and flash CWM recovery. Without root working, it is not letting me. My wife hates me now for doing this to her phone, so those of you that are married, I would appreciate your assistance to get back on her good side...before Mother's day...please? =)
Ok, thanks for all the help, however, I am really back where I started. I can only get stock recovery, and for the life of me, cannot get CW recovery to load. I used ODIN to go back to eclair on the vibrant, have a good root on the phone now, and no matter how many times i reinstall packages i cannot get clockworkmod recovery to load, ever. Any more thoughts out there?
I had this trouble a few months back. Things to check before going into recovery:
You gotta have root access.
Make sure you have debugging on
Install busybox FIRST
Try uninstalling Rom manager and reinstalling the latest version.
apply the recovery for vibrant and let it boot into recovery.
When it boots into recovery Don't try to install packages yet. Just reboot.
Look here for the files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&highlight=3e+recovery
When it boots up push the update.zip to the sd card on the phone, not the external card.
Run the script and it should reboot back into recovery.
You should now be able to install packages.
This way has always worked for me.

thanks...It is rooted, but not sure about busybox...the stock recovery is 2e now since I went back to eclair, so not sure i should follow that link as it talks about modifying 3e and making it backwards compatable. I did use that process before I went back to eclair, and it didn't work for me. I have uninstalled rom manager, and reinstalled...and it is different in that it shows a flashed recovery 2.5.1.2, and never asks me for my phone type anymore...it used to ask me and i had to select vibrant....is the recovery supposed to be 2.5.1.2? when I show all recoveries it lists .1, .2, .3, .4 so wondering if I should use .3 or .4...why does it stay at .2?

OK>>> I GOT IT... Thanks to everyone who helped...Here is what was needed:
1) Install ODIN, install back to eclair
2) uninstall ROM Manager, reinstall
3) I needed to select the 2.5.1.2 recovery from the list again (this was important as it somehow knew of the previous load, but files were missing, or something was just wrong.) It finally loaded properly, and asked for phone type again, so selected vibrant
4) I rebooted into recovery, and instead of install packages, i rebooted once, as starkiller suggested
5) After reboot, went back into recovery from rom manager, and this time installed updates, and it showed that it replaced the recovery with CWM.
6) It rebooted into stock recovery however, so I once again selected install updates, and it went right into CWM recovery, and now I am flashing happy!!!
Thanks again everyone...this was soooooo different than my mytouch4g!
If you have the Kies update of Froyo, the 3e mod will sometimes not work. I've gotten to CWM though , but its best to downgrade then flash a ROM from there.
I just wanted to bump this thread because it really helped me.
I've messed around with numerous android phones, and I've never had thie issues I've had with this phone getting into recovery to flash ROMs
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm currently using Samsung Vibrant (t-mo version) running Firmware 2.2, Baseband version T959UVKB5, Kernel 2.6.32.9.
My problem is I can never boot into ClockWorks Recovery. I've CWR's update.zip downloaded using ROM Manager. Rooted the phone using SuperOneClick.
When I boot into recovery and select apply update.zip, it gives me an error half way thruogh about verification failed.
So I replaced Android Recovery 3e, with another Android Recovery 3e which skips the verification. It installs fine but restarts back in Android's recovery. On rebooting I get a phone with everything back to default!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
PS: I want to upgrade to CM7. which I had at one point but reverted because my bluetooth failed to connect to my headset.
Are you reinstalling packages twice?
Honestly, why not just odin to jfd and rather than boot and flash cwr, just use the update.zip in the noob guide.
I'd encourage checking that route (noob guide is in my signature).
I'm certain we could find a way for yours to work, but if you are going to try a new rom, using ODIN may benefit you anyway. It will not format your internal or external.
cant get or find cwr for samsung vib s.. been looking all night
go to the noob guide.
I am on Samsung Vibrant Froyo 2.2 T959UVKB5.
I have seen your post and it provides 2 update.zip files for JFD.
I do not want to install custom ROM, I just want to root the phone.
will that update.zip work on my phone?
If all you're doing is rooting just for the root apps and not for a custom rom you should use zip A. However the easiest method for you to root would be superoneclick root. Look it up, it will have you rooted with the click of a button (hence the name)... The only thing is that it may stir up your anti-virus, even though it is safe...

Trying to install clockworkmod but I have 3e recovery. I did it through rom manager which was a nub mistake but I didn't know 3e was going to troll me. So it says:
e:failed to verify whole file signature
e:signature verification failed samsung "3e"
I then followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16909269&postcount=12
and tried the Speedmod kernel to get rid of 3e like the person said but that rom is for the international version and now I can't connect to verizon.
So at the point I am thinking using Odin is my only option but all roms are .zip and not .tar. I am clueless as what I can do. Please help me.
So I tried the Odin method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746 and flashed the pit and stock 2.1 files. It passed with green in odin but when I put the battery back in it boots into 2e but says # Manual Mode # at the bottom. I am not sure if that means the flash didn't actually work or what. I am lost now.
Thought I'd update this thread since I finally fixed the problem and sucessfully put Cyanogenmod7 without using the stupid Rom Manager after about 8 hours of work. So just in case someone wants to know what I did. For some reason Odin was not working so I used Heimdall v1.83 and the EB01 Heimdall package and sucessfully flashed to froyo 2.2. I mounted the sdcard and put Cyanogenmod7 and gapps on it.
Now I used Odin to flash the CM7 capable CWM (I think its version 4). Booted the phone into download mode and then used jt1134's ClockworkMod Recovery found in the CM7 fascinate wiki. The wiki says use Heimdall but I used Odin and it worked. The CWM is now blue instead of Red. Next I did a wipe data/factory reset along with wipe cache partition. I selected install zip from scard and choose the CM 7.1 package. Everything went well and it boots into CM7. NOW TO INSTALL THE GAPPS. I thought I just boot into CMW using the volume buttons and power button BUT NO that is NOT correct. In CM7 you have to hold the power button and press reboot and then select recovery AND THEN IN THAT CWM select install zip from sdcard (choose gapps). THIS IS IMPORTANT OR ELSE GAPPS WONT INSTALL. I was bummed for like another hour.
So there it is how to install CM7 just when you think you have been to hell and back with the fascinate. Never again am I volunteering myself to help root and install CM7 on a friend's fascinate. The droid incredible was soo easy!
