hello, I need some help. I have rooted my fascinate, but everytime i try and back it up in ROM manager, i get a message after the backup utility starts saying that file not found aborted in red letters. i got odin red recovery as suggested and tried that but it still gives me that error. i want to be able to back it up so i can download some more roms. phone is working fine, just not able to back up
Just backup in Red recovery. Don't use rom manager.
can u give me a little more info on how to do this
Boot to recovery by
1- power off phone, then hold volume up and down then power phone on continuing to hold the volume keys
2- if you are in "red recovery continue to next step. If not in red, choose "apply update.zip"
3- use volume keys to navigate up or down In recovery. Choose "backup and restore" then use power button to select
4- choose backup.
5- wait for backup to finish.

I broke my phone, now it's back. I rooted it, installed CWM again, and I'm running into trouble. When I try to boot into recovery through Rom Manager, it asks if I'm sure I want to, I hit ok, and it doesn't do anything.

Try a hard reset into recovery. See if that works.
Launch stock recovery, go to install update.zip and hit the home button. Should get you to clockwork.

How do I do the hard reset? Sorry, I'm new to the phone.
Shut your phone off. Hold volume up, down, and the screen on/off button at the same time until the "samsung" comes up on the screen. From there your phone will boot into the stock recovery. Use your volume up/down buttons to navigate the menu, scroll to install "update.zip" then select if by pushing the home button. From there you should boot into clockwork.

It starts installing, then says
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Sounds like you might have deleted the update.zip file that is needed to launch CW from your SD card.
Go back to this post to either start from the beginning or to just download the file and put it back on your sd card:

***DO NOT RESTORE IF YOU'RE STUCK IN A "POWERING OFF" LOOP AFTER UPDATE FROM VERIZON***
I'm on a rooted ThunderBolt, and I attempted to do the update, but the update failed. (Android character with exclamation mark (!) )
And was stuck on a loop--keeps says "Shutting down" each time I reboot into the Android operating system.
So, this is what I did to stop the "Shutting down" loop.
1) Once you are in ClockWorkMod Recovery, scroll down to "Wipe cache partition".
2) Select "Wipe cache partition" using the home key or power button.
3) Now, scroll down to "Yes - wipe cache".
4) Press the home key or power button to perform the wipe.
5) When done, restart your phone.
6) Your ThunderBolt will boot into the Android operating system and will say that the UPDATE FAILED.
7) Choose Cancel to stop the update.
8) Restart your phone one last time and you'll see that the "Powering Off" loop is gone.
Hope this helps!

Looking for "Install new RUU (from 5-12-11), while retaining your apps, sms, contacts, system, etc"? SEE POST #4 below for tutorial.
Thanks
Did you attempt to reapply the update or just ignore the update then?
Do not download the OTA update If you are rooted!

No, but I found a better solution that you may like...
Following the steps below will get you up and running with the new update, plus keeping your data, programs installed, contracts, sms, etc...
YOU DO NOT NEED to use apps like MyBackup Pro
1) Use ClockWorkMod or ROM Manager to backup your current ROM.
2) Go to this thread, and download (the RUU which has been rooted): PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.13.605.7_Radio_1.16.00 .0402w_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zi p
3) Rename the downloaded file to PG05IMG.zip
4) Transfer PG05IMG.zip to the root of your microSD card.
5) Restart or pull the battery out to turn off the phone. (Using the "shut down" option may put your phone in hibernation -- depending on the option you set).
6) Power on the phone by pressing and holding down the power button and pressing and holding down the volume-down key.
7) Your phone should boot-up in like HBOOT and will attempt to detect PG05IMG.zip. Just press yes to install it.
***NOTE*** Your current ROM will be erased! See Step #1
8) After your new rooted ROM is installed, set it up like normal, and afterward, delete the PG05IMG.zip from your microSD card.
***NOTE*** Next, we're gonna do Advanced Restore from ClockworkMod.
9) Restart or pull the battery out to turn off the phone. (Using the "shut down" option may put your phone in hibernation -- depending on the option you set).
10) Power on the phone by pressing and holding down the power button and pressing and holding down the volume-down key.
11) Choose "RECOVERY" (highlighted in green).
12) You should now be in ClockworkMod Recovery, choose backup and restore.
13) Next, choose Advnaced Restore.
14) Choose the backup that you made earlier.
15) Now, choose "Restore data".
16) Finally, restart your phone and all of your data, apps, contacts, sms, settings, and whatever else, will be restored.
Hope this helps!
I personally never even worry about ota's anymore. with how many people are out there working on custom roms usually you can find one that includes the ota way before its even released. so just find one of those and save all your setting and apps with titanium backup or my backup pro.
please help i have motorola atrix 4g at&t and please the link of neutrino or codename rom :c
if you are in CM9 that means, you have a rooted and bootloader unlocked atrix with CWM recovery. I will help you buddy...
PREPARE YOUR PHONE FOR FLASH THE ROM;
-make sure you have installed the drivers of motorola. It is recommended for your pc to recognise your phone when you connect it.
-(I recommend GT version, it is FAST and battery life is great! Better than EE.) Download the rom and the addons on the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26657806&postcount=7819
-put the files in your SD CARD.( put the .zip files to your SD CARD, do not extract!)
-PREPARE yourself for the flashing
1) FULL WIPE
- https://www.dropbox.com/s/1tgt2yax88rp2mi/Moto-Fastboot FULL WIPE.rar <<< DOWNLOAD THIS.
-Power off your phone.
-open your phone in FASTBOOT mode. (press power button and volume down at the same time until you see 'Fastboot' on the screen, then press Volume up to activate it. Connect your phone to your PC.
-RUN the "Moto-FB Full Wipe.bat" and follow the instructions. (I remember that you should only press ENTER )
2)FLASHING ROM
-Power off your phone and POWER ON with POWER ON+VOLUME DOWN again.
-When you see Fastboot, Navigate with the power down button until you see ANDROID RECOVERY. (I think you should press 7 times to power down to see, if you pass it do not press up to go back just keep pressing vol down to see it again.) When you see Android Recovery Press VOL UP to enter the recovery.
-navigate to 'install .zip from sd card' with using vol up or down then press POWER ON button to enter.
-'choose .zip file from sd card' and power on button to enter again.
-find your Neutrino2.8GT.zip file and press power on!
-It will install in 15-20 seconds.
-then install the ADDONS by following the same method. (install zip from sd>choose zip from sd>default camera apk(that was the one of the addons.)) You may install all of them or some of them, depends on you. But just install them all
-after you done, reboot your phone by selecting 'reboot the phone' in the CWM recovery menu.
-ENJOY YOUR AWESOME ROM.
PRESS THE "THANKS" IF I HELPED! :angel:
Hi So I am stuck in download mode when I tried to root my Fascinate with odin today it got a fail 1 success 0. I have tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds and a battery pull to no avail. Help would be greatly appreciated.
I would suggest that you get a .pit and re partition while you are going back to stock.

Thank you for responding but I have not rooted yet the problem occurred when I was trying to root.
are you following the [GUIDE] from droidstyle?? Section 6
Section 6: How to root stock froyo or gingerbread(This is not needed if your flashing a custom rom)
Downloads these files to PC,
Samsung drivers-
Odin (computer program)-
CWMALL 2.5 (place this file somewhere on your computer where you can easily locate it)-
"su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders)-
Modified stock Froyo kernel (place this file somewhere on your computer where you can easily locate it). This file is only necessary if you're rooting Froyo. It's not necessary for Gingerbread-
Instructions:
1. Install Samsung drivers on your computer.
2. Open Odin on your computer. (You may need to disable antivirus programs on your computer and/or phone for this to work properly.)
3. Power off your phone and remove the battery.
4. Plug the stock USB cord that came with your phone into a powered USB port on your computer (usually on the back of the computer).
5. Press and hold the "volume down" button on your phone, and continue to hold it while plugging the USB cord into your phone. This will put your phone into download mode. You'll see a large yellow triangle on the screen of your phone. (Let go of the volume button at this point.) You will also see one of the small boxes in Odin turn yellow, as well as "Added" appearing in the message box.
6. Click the PDA button in Odin (NOT the PHONE button) and navigate to the "CWM2.5_Voodoo.tar.md5" file you downloaded earlier. This file does not include a voodoo kernel and will not perform the voodoo lagfix conversion. It's only named as such to note that it is compatible with voodoo kernels.(make sure auto reboot is unchecked, although it should be by default)
7. Click START. When this process has finished, you'll be notified in Odin (succeeded 1 / failed 0) and your phone's screen will go blank.
*** Step 8 is only for rooting Froyo. If you're rooting Gingerbread, skip Step 8 and proceed to Step 9. ***
8. Unplug your phone and click RESET in Odin. Repeat Step 5 to get the phone back into download mode and recognized by Odin. Using the PDA button, navigate to the "stock_kernel.tar.md5" file you downloaded earlier, select it, and press START. You'll again be notified in Odin once this process has completed (succeeded 1 / failed 0).
9. Unplug your phone and re-insert the battery.
10. Press and hold BOTH volume buttons. While holding them, press the power button. Hold all three simultaneously until you see "SAMSUNG" appear TWICE. This will boot your phone into CWM 2.5 red recovery. If your phone boots up normally here and not into recovery, just wait for it to boot up and then power it down and try again. It may take a couple tries for you to get it right.
11. Using the volume rocker, navigate down to "Install zip from sdcard." Highlight it and press the power button to select.
12. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select with the power button.
13. Navigate to the "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file that you downloaded earlier and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.
14. When you're advised of completion, press the MENU softkey to go back to the previous CWM Recovery screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now."

Now i haven't tested beyond that but i found a youtube link for flashing stock rom via odin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ChtmNtpk3c

You must install Samsung KIES to ensure that your PC detects your phone.
After downloading install Odin
1 - Restart the phone in Download Mode ( Vol down , Home, Power Simultaneously ) .
press volume up to continue ( or vol down to leave but it can damage... )
2- Start Odin
3 - select files and press Start
Watch Out !!! Never unplug your phone before restarting
After 5-10 minutes your phone will reboot to your new ROM
