Tried to install CM7 on my Vibrant 2.2 Rooted using Superoneclick method - Phone has superuser, Busybox, rom manager premium. I tried to flash clockwork recovery...
Clicked on Rom Manager
Clicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Tried both Galaxy S Vibrant and Vibrant (MTD) options (seperately)
current recovery showed both versions after each flash and reboot
Clicked reboot into recovery
Phone boots into stock recovery
Tried reinstall packages like 5 times after each flash
always get signature verification errors
Im stuck here.. Could not figure out how to get past this issue
Any help greatly appreciated!
Only flash cwm recovery mtd 2.xxx since you're going from froyo to cm7.
Flash the recovery again, reboot into recovery, reinstall package, wipe data, reboot......sometimes this worked when I had issues a while ago.
Please back up everything before you flash...
I have just learned that I have the Stock 3e recovery on my phone... I have read that on the I9000 that you have to flash a new kernal... Im not sure if this is my problem, but last time I did this I bricked my phone where it would not power at ALL
On your phone, go to settings, applications, development, is debugging checked?

Thats the exact Thread I was using before
1. Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2. Flash Recovery.
3. Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4. Accept the Superuser prompt.
5. On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6. Watch the backup go!
After step 5 It always says signature verification failed, no matter how man times i click it or reboot phone
Even if I force reboot by holding all three buttons or reboot into recovery from rom managers menu it does this
Have you heard of this 3e recovery not working and only 2e works
Did you use Odin to flash the kernel that's posted?
Here is froyo that has modified recovery and it's rooted.....makes everything easier

Well I got it back to the original software because it did brick my phone again, but it was just a soft brick. I restored it back to 2.2 froyo and I have it rooted again.. Not sure what to do now, I think i need to try getting back to the 2e recovery system

if u want to install cm7 on ur phone its really quite easy! odin back to stock 2.1 as 2.1 is easier to root then froyo. Once ur at 2.1 root the eclair method by installing the update package twice and the second time it should turn green. Now go into Rom manager premium it wont u download the cm7 nightlies if ur on 2x! Pick Vibrantmtd and pick 3x not 2x. then when thats done go into downloads and download the newest cm7 nightlie which is 33#. For ur first nightlie always choose all three! Wipe data, wipe dalvik, backup rom. Then when u move on to #34 u only have to pick the 2-wipe dalvik and backup rom. As its always good to wipe data on ur first cm7 nightlie. With rom manager premium its as easy as 1.2,3

Lol Tried this when I had to flash back to stock after I soft bricked my phone... For some reason, every time I tried to root it again it would always tell me I was already rooted, but would not let me actually reinstall the packages... I tried the update.zip method and the superoneclick with both exploits. Its like even if I wipe it something gets stuck behind..

Was it the same software that you flashed? cause the Eugene software in your link always puts the I9000 software on it... Its a Vibrant(SGH-T959) and the boot screen changed to I9000 and it wouldnt boot past that when I flashed it with yours.

very simple, if you have already done the "flash CWM" via Rom Manager, then you should have an update.zip file in your root. Odin back to stock and hit reinstall packages. It should reboot into recovery. Hit reinstall packages again and you should have green clockwork..
OR
You can try to flash a stock + voodoo kernel via Odin as well.

But the second phone cant restore my nandroid it says its there and does the whole process, But when i turn on the phone it doesnt present the factory bootloop its just get stuck with the rom it flashed. The phone thats working I flashed the axura rom the other was simply amazing 2.5 that got stuck. I can access the clock -recovery menu I have tried to install the rom and restore my nandroid, but none work. What can I do thanks?

odin back to stock re root and flash again. Have you tried using the toolbox?

So you CAN enter Recovery Mode? If Yes, you can try to flash another rom, or factory reset it, which usually works. If that doesn't work theres 1 more thing to try and this will work.
Download mode.
Odin.
Stock JFD
Off you go to flashing 600 more roms daily

Agree With Factory Reset, i have donde that before and it works
I was sent a Fascinate as a Droid Incredible replacement. I was able to root it without a hitch but now my CWM can't mount anything. Won't mount anything can't bring up any logs. I am using the CM7 Clockwork and my phone is now bricked and I'm tired of using Odin to restore it and root it again then flash CWM and CM7, I lose all my games and free apps which I have to download again.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, are you using atlas.pit when odining to stock? After doing what does the phone stop working entirely (IE does the phone boot up CM7 and then brick, or can it not load CM7 at all)? Can you run stock without your phone breaking?

Yeah. I can work on stock just great.
What is the best rooting method to use if I plan on using CM7?
What I do is use Super One Click to root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682), then flash the custom CM7 CWM, and then flash CM7 in the custom recovery after wiping data, cache, and dalvik.
Use the CM7 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190668
Do I use the recovery in that thread? I've been using that one as well. I will re download the rom then.
Yes. Here are the exact steps from that thread after rooting with SuperOneClick:
Start with a rooted device (do not ask us how to do this).
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery attached to this post.
Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Wipe Data! Seriously! Do it!
Install the ROM zip from sdcard
Install gapps package linked here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps)
Alright. Let me try that again now. I just put the Nightly #8 on my SDCARD
Flashed it through the recovery, it's at the Samsung logo now. I am going to leave it there for a bit and see if that changes.
Yeah. It's stuck at the logo. I reboot into recovery and I get the log errors. That's 6 Odin resets today.
Make sure you use atlas.pit when restoring to stock. If you are following those directions exactly, all I can say at this point is to try another ROM (maybe MIUI or OMGB) and see if that works, unless another poster wants to take a stab at this.
Yeah, I'm using the atlas 2.2.pit
I had it working yesterday but only if I flashed the rom using the orange recovery through ROM Manager. I might try that again.

I think the nightly might be your problem?...my $.02...and there are a lot of extra steps but it works for me if I really can't get cm7 to load (I've done this more then once)
Odin eb01 with the atlas 2.2pit and reboot fully when odin is done.
Pull battery...Odin cwm 3/30 fix all..and when that's done, install battery and 3 finger salute into recovery....wipe everything and flash com rom 2.0 and reboot.
This is where you may have to try different recoveries, putting com rom on your phone gives you root, recovery and voodoo. So from here if your recovery doesn't properly flash cm7 you can simply pull the battery re odin a different recovery and try again, as long as you don't try to reboot the phone.
Make sure you are using the 7/17 build from, jt's pretty much official cm7 Thread, not the nightly. even if this is not what you want it should properly get you to mtd format, so another rom on an mtd build can just be flash the good old way.
I've had the cwm4.x.x.x work fine and then today it would not work after I flash a different kernel with out wiping anything...oops! I've had 3/30 fix all cwm give me the best results but even today would not work.
What did work was using the com rom recovery to flash times infinity's purple recovery zip...reboot recovery into the purple one, and then wipe everything and flash cm7 7/17...ugh finally! Once I was there just power button menu... reboot recovery to install gapps, and glitch. You could at this point wipe cache and dalvik and flash nightly if you wanted...hope some of this helps.

I've had the same problem tryin to flash all mtd based roms...it always sticks at the samsung logo when I three finger back to recovery. I get the error logs aswell...**** sucks lol. That's odining ed05, fully boot, odin cwm 4 fix for cm7, boot recovery, wipe data,cache, dalvick, install rom.zip, all for a samsung logo and log error lol. So instead of spending 5hrs trying to flash a rom, I spent 10min and flashed power wash ed05, works great!
So how can I fix this?
My screen looks exactly like this and it doesn't give me a chance to flash cyanogenmod from the sd card.
I think my problem is similar to what is stated here: http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-all-things-root/248433-stuck-install-default-apk-file-using-rom-manager-photo.html
Do I need a new kernel? Where would I find one of those..
Thanks for the help!
From what I can tell your first problem is that your in 3e recovery. I would recommend odening back to 2.1 eclair then get root access and then flash CWM. this was the best method for me

First just boot it back up and go back to that screen you posted, then re-install the packages, might need to do it twice, if that doesn't work then do a fresh install of JFD again and follow the instructions listed below, you just haven't re-installed the packages yet to get your CWM recovery green screen yet!!
Do what he says, but untick the reboot in odin, so you will have manual control of that, REASON WHY is so you can use the 3E recovery menu to clear data/reset to factory and then wipe the cache, these two things alone if not done account for alot of locking or boot looping during first initial start after a fresh flash, and is the reason why the OP's suggest to always wipe and clear, so as to remove Ghosts from the prior SW and not corrupt the data, and or especially mess with the BLdr's
Also make sure to root the phone first after your fresh install of JFD, before you install Rom Manager, then flash CWM.
Also when you go to CWM recovery the first time to re-install packages, sometime you have to do it twice, and usaully the 2nd time will get you to your green menu , and then your in business to start the process of Modding with the flavors around here!!
used oden to flash CWM. now i cant boot into android, it just keeps kicking me into CWM recovery.
anyone see this? any suggestions? would a wipe fix it?
did you flash a rom if so which one?
no ROMs, simply just tried flashing CWM via Odin
may i ask why 2.3.5?
what were you trying to do?
i am still able to get into Download mode to flash files via Odin, so i dont think all is lost. but, still just stuck in recovery. when i try to reboot it just takes me right back into recovery. i may have flashed an incorrect version of CWM which could be the cause of this problem. if that was the case, any ideas as to how i can get back into a proper boot?

I was trying to flash CWM so i could flash a custom ROM. Had this phone forever and was just looking to try out some ROMs out there.
As long as you odin cwm none of your os is really touched.
try the cwm 4 fixed for cm7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1311907538
Now when you reboot your device the stock kernel will over right the cwm.
also make sure you put the odin file in the PDA section.
So basically flash the new cwm and try booting into normal that should get you back where you started from. 100% stock.
that link didnt work. tried searching for the thread without any luck
for some reason it truncated the link with a '...' and it thinks that is part of the hyperlink
dl.dropbox.com/u/14764513/cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar <- cwm 4 fixed for cm7
thanks.. so i flashed this via odin. same problem. i start the phone. the samsung logo comes up. it disappears for a second. then it comes back up and kicks me into recovery.
weird right? any suggestions
ok then what is your endgame?
Now before you said you flashed just the CWM, may i ask why...if you did not intend to flash a rom? were you going to flash a Kernel or obtain root?
Perhaps you should try this
Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278838
It is a custom kernel.
Now Flash CWM with odin
Put battery back in [dont touch power button yet]
Hold down BOTH volume and Power all at once * Dont let go until you see Samsung Logo.
[should still be plugged into pc via usb]
You will boot into CWM
using the volume up and down-Scroll down to Mounts and storage [select it by hitting the power button]
Then scroll to Mout USB storage
~now you should be able to see your SDCard as storage on your PC, put the Kernel some where on your SD Card~
[back on your phone Then Select Unmount
Scroll to ****Go bacK***** [select]
Scroll to install zip from sd card [select]
Select choose zip from sdcard
Navigate to where you have the zip
Select it
Scroll down to Yes-Flash........
Let the phone do its thing!
Good luck!
Your bootlooped...if you can get into cwm wipe all three and flash a rom thats compatible with the version of cwm you have installed. Or odin back to stock and start over...

I think you needed to use with CWM 5+
Try to get back into CWM and root your old ROM.
I am very bad at this... So I dont really know how to do that... could you provide any steps or an tutorial?

NO NO. Don't use kies. Kies sucks a lot. Search the developer forum for "clockworkmod 5" flash it normally (I suppose you already know how-to since you have CWM4) after getting CWM5, flash ICS/CM9 Normally. no need to flash GB

Ughh I forgot to root my phone right after flashing. So I installed CWM before rooting.. how do I root now? And also I think it is still not working. The phone has been blue for about 2 minutes now. I followed the video exactly like it was.
EDIT: damn... so after getting the blue screen again I thought of going back to normal ver and maybe some other custom ROM... but guess what.... It doesnt work anymore... I did just like before.Went into download, used ODIN to download 2.3.5 french ver to my phone, odin says PASS. But last time It had booted correctly by 4:40 or so. This time like 10 minutes have passed and still rebooting. What to do now?
