I recently ODIN'd back to stock for the first time after incorrectly flashing a 2.2 rom from cm7. my question is, do i have to use samsung kies again to get my phone back to froyo 2.2? Also, I am unsure if i am even rooted, I have no superuser. I can hold down the volume buttons to get into recovery and reinstall packages to get into cwm, but from there I cant flash a 2.2 Rom. Do I have to reroot and reupdate via samsung kies to get 2.2?

I never use samsung kies for anything. Just ODIN using the steps in the guide:

You should still have the update.zip in there so after ODIN "reinstall packages" then ROM Manager to flash CwMRecovery.Good luck!

MY phone is perfectly rooted, Superuser works etc.
However I cannot vet the clockwork recovery to boot in. I installed the 3E verification bypass for the new froyo 2.2 rom. WHen I go to reinstall packages it just keeps looping back to the stock recovery and not Clockwork. Any ideas what's going on>>

flashed clockwork through rom manager ??
Yes, it says 'Replacing stock recovery with ClockwordMod recovery" for a split second, then goes back to stock.
go to my noob guide and grab the update.zip there, don't use rom manager.
That's where I got it from.
okay, so why not odin to jfd as opposed to using the modified 3e?
you have to reinstall packages twice..... at least thats what I remember.

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...

Thanks you!
I just got my phone rooted and installed rom manager and every time I try to install a custom rom my phone gets stuck in recovery mode on installing cscs is there a step or something I am missing
Did you root Froyo (2.2), or Eclair (2.1)? If you were on Froyo when you rooted, Odin back to JFD, the original official ROM, or you need to modify you recovery to 3e (search around this section of the forum, its here somewhere how to do that). If you were on Eclair, I have no idea what could be wrong.
Good luck!

I am new to modding my vibrant (phone is rooted but that's all) but looking to flash a new ROM. I dl'd rom manager and installed cwr. When I reboot into recovery mode via rommanager or manually doing it,I do not get the prompt to backup. Only options I get are to reboot system, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, and format internal sd-card. Anyone know how to fix this? I just updated to 2.2 froyo UVKB5 kernel 2.6.32.9 if that helps.
looks like you have stock recovery.
try reinstall packages, might take a couple times..
or install CWM via replacing update.zip
What he said, yeah.
So just delete the current update.zip file on my phone and replace it with a new one? Any links to download the update.zip file?
Sometimes you have to Reinstall Packages twice for it to go from regular recovery to CWR. If you flash a custom ROM though, most have a custom recovery built in.
If you have to replace the update.zip (which I don't think that you do), this worked for me the first time I rooted.

How to Root.
I am rooted, but I want to back everything up so that way if I do not like the new custom rom I can go back. I tried reinstalling the update.zip file from the link but s till have the same issue. Any other solutions besides going back to stock and going from there? And if I did go back to stock, would I lose everything?
I backed up using Titanium Backup, is that the same as going into recovery mode and backing up?
Re-download recovery using ROM Manager, then repeat. Worked when I had a similar issue.
Tried that several times. I also reuploaded the update file and reinstalled the package several times. Still no luck so I think I might go back to stock using Odin.
Then DL Eugenes froyo don't brick ROM with the 2e recovery update in it, then re-install packages, maybe twice and you'll have the green recovery menu your seeking
Googled Eugene's DL and I do not feel to confident with it. Is it supposed to fix the issue with getting into recovery mode?
So I went back to stock last night using Odin, upgraded to 2.2, and rooted using Superoneclick. Phone's back up and running but faster than the first time I upgraded to 2.2. I still have the issue getting into the proper recover to install the zip file. I've read that deleting Slacker helped some people, assuming it freed up space on the System ROM. My system ROM was full until I started to delete some apps. I now have 20.7 MB free. Could not enough System ROM space be the issue?
I am now also getting a "Fail" attempt when I try and update su saying that it failed to find currently installed su binary. Any advice on fixing this?
TIA!!!
it would probably be easier to just odin back to stock jfd and then flash a deodexed kb5 build thats rooted with SU already in it from here in the forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193&highlight=deodexed
If you flashed kb5 from kies or odin and don't want to reinstall the rom then you will need to flash a modified 3e recovery because you probably are not quite rooted and won't be able to use CWM until you flash the modified 3e recovery...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
You might want to check out the AIO vibrant toolbox (pinned topic in the development thread) it will give you big easy buttons and instructions to flash back to jfd and root and flash a new rom if you need to... It comes with Odin so you can wander into the install folder and fire up Odin to flash the modified 3e recovery if you decide to go that route too.
If I flash a deodexed kb5 will i still be able to flash a custom rom?
Ok so i had ICS passion installed then one day the rom gave me an error telling me encryption unsuccessful. So i followed the instructions to fix it, by putting the partition on the micro sd card (8gb). I then decided to flash back to stock gingerbread with odin. I thought that if I put a galaxy s international rom on the US vibrant it would work, but i was wrong so dont try that. I was stuck on a bootloop and was able to get to download mode. Then i used Odin to flash JFD for vibrant it said i passed but when i booted it did the same. Now im on KB5 and it gave me android system recovery <3e> but i have an error dev/block/mmcblk0p1.
I cannot go to menu, i can access download mode and android system recovery, i also tried to install update zip but it gave me the signature fail.
Please help me back to stock firmware or any stable version. Thank You
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278683 follow the instructions in the thread and remember to flash the bootloaders
You should just Odin back to JFD and go from there. Flashing bootloaders is dangerous, shouldn't be done lightly, but can be done with caution if needed, usually isn't.
try the 1click root method. see if that helps.
