[Q] Clockwork Mod Problems - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running froyo stock 2.2.1 and i want to be able to flash zips. I am not new to clockwork mod and i have used it before but the only problem is, i can't get clockwork mod to work on my stock 2.6.32.9 kernel. it wont boot into it. is there any way i can run it on my kernel with an older version? or if you could, suggest a SMOOTH rom for me to download?

I suggest bi-winning, its a 2.2.1 rom but has a lot of nice mods and many themes available. Go to WWW.edtdev.com to get it

[Q] How do you downgrade back to 2.1

I currently have 2.2 Froyo installed on my Vibrant, and I want to get back to 2.1before I install Axura204. I tried installing Axura with OCLF and Rom Manager...but no luck, so I figure I might have better luck installing it if I went back to 2.1. Is it even possible to switch to Axura since I am currently using 2.2?
I've only been using an Android for about a week, so please dummy it down for me. If I have to flash something or use Odin, can you please give me step by step instructions?
Quick unrelated questions:
How do you disable One-Click Lag Fix (I tried using the disable-lagfix file, but I think it is still active)?
What is the difference between a kernel and a rom?
Click the icon in your drawer for OCLF and uninstall for there. Pm me for help with your flashing.
I would say just flash with odin and go from there. Do u known how to use it?

How EXACTLY do you flash back to 2.1? What files do I need to do it, and does it work with my existing firmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
To flash to a 2.1 rom, make sure the rom has a 2.1 kernal comes pre flashed. For example, any bionix 2.1 roms can be used.

Flashing your nandroid

So I started out with 2.1 stock on my vibrant, and used clockwork mod recovery to flash nero v3 w/ voodoo, before doing this I created a backup in rom manager of my entire system while still on 2.1, if I wanted to return to 2.1 I would just disable lagfix and restore backup in rom manager right?

First one question.....Why would u ever want to go back to 2.1?
I usually just skip ROM manager all together and go directly into CWR. Then select Back up and Restore then scroll down to Restore option. Then select what u want to retore. Its pretty self explanatory once u get into CWR.

You will need to flash your 2.1 kernel as well as a nandroid backup doesn't backup the kernel.
Nero V3 w/ Voodoo is super duper silky smooth. I would never think about flashing back to 2.1 nanadroid from it. I forgot about the kernal.
Ya, I don't want to, but eventually, lol, when official 2.2 comes out, I wanna get that, so even if I just rooted, then used rom manager to flash nero, my kernel is now permanently changed? How would I change that back if it wasn't saved in rom managers backup?

why use your backup, why not just odin back to jfd?

Lot of people answering your question with another question.
Sano said it right...you're fine to restore your backup AS LONG AS you also flash a 2.1 kernel separately since nandroid doesn't back up the kernel.
So how do I flash kernels?

Same way you flash a rom with clockwork.
Where do you get a stock firmware

Just flashing nero v3 rom changed my kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 running nero v3 in XDA app
Yes cause the kernel are different in 2.1 and 2.2, which Nero is. U have to flash a 2.1 kernel if u want to use that nandroid.
Sent from THE Vibrant......
So would you flash the 2.1 kernel before or after downgrading, also where would I get a stock 2.1 kernel

First get the kernel from the bible put it on your phone . Once you have the cwm flashable kernel just nandroid back then before rebooting flash the kernel .

Stock 2.2 froyo

okay I am looking for the latest froyo build that is the closest to stock touchwiz froyo for the samsung vibrant. I'm using odin by the way.
KA5 is the latest..... Jellette has the completely stock with root but its using 3e recovery.
I'm hoping someone can do a complete stock with just root odexed and modded recovery but haven't seen one yet.

Im using megatron rom it is froyo ver. 2.2 it is very stable no bug at all.
But i recommend you to flash francisco devoid rom.
It is actually depend of what you actually need. Check it out on optimus one android development forum here. You can find fabulous rom there you cab choose to flash or maybe you can learn how to create your own rom. Goodluck

The above post says it all....I would also suggest you to try out mik's CM7 b6.5, it's nearly complete in all respects besides a few bugs...
I use devoid.franco with franco.kerner v13. If you want this ROM I advise you to use AmonRA Recovery.
i m on clockmod recover now how can i do AmonRA Recovery on my device plz help me
u don't need AmonRa. just boot into the recovery by going on terminal
su
reboot recovery
i too have clockwork 3.1 recovery right now... which is better? AmonRa or Clockwork? and can u flash a new recovery from the recovery or do u have to do some adb stuff? Not sure how flashing a different recovery works
ROM
I'm currently using devoid franco & his kernels. It is minimal & I get a decent battery life
Finally I have decided to go with devoid.Franco.
Thank you all guys for suggestions.

[Q] Stock OS without removing custom recovery?

Hi,
I've been looking through some of the guides and they all include flashing your recovery to default, so I've be wondering if there is a way to simply instal the stock OS via the clockwork recovery?
Thank you for help.
Orphx
EDIT: I'm currently using Clockwork mod 6.0.1.2 and the latest CNG10 and would like to upgrade/downgrade back to the Jellybean 4.1 (with TouchWiz)
We do not have jellybean touchwiz. If you want stock ics just odin then flash recovery over it.
Try these

Do you even have an I717 Note? I am guessing you don't.
