I would re download the zip file...using jt's recovery you shouldn't have a problem...you could just have a bad download...it's happens to me more then once...not on this rom but a bad download is not that uncommon that is why some people put hash check sums on there files so you can make sure of a good download prior to flashing
re download and try again with the same recovery...if that doesn't help I made it to cm7 twice with the purple times infinity cwm..both times without a hitch
I'm not sure if this info will help I'm just relaying what worked for me.

i used the eb01 package. after i got cm7 v5 on when i try and flash miui i get a cant open /cache error when i try and wipe.
Did you go to eb01 then straight to cm7? If so which cwm did you use and if you didn't go straight there what rom did you flash in between?..maybe you should try atlas 2.2 with eb01 and boot fully, then odin cwm and flash com rom 2.0 then reboot fully, then reboot cwm wipe everything then try to go to cm7 or miui that's what worked for me to get to cm7 build 7, afterwords I just wiped cache and dalvik and flashed build 8...no issues for me.

Im coming from 2.3.2 - XWJV1 [Gingerbread on Vibrant], after ODIN, and when i wanted to flash the latest Bionix i got an error
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
every time i get this, i have to do another ODIN because it just does a loop in the android system recovery and will not get out, so i had to ODIN 3 times.
now when i try to flash a ROM it just keeps replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod recovery, i do the usual steps to install a ROM and it just does a loop. i tried different clockwork flash versions and either it wont let me install the older ones or the only 2 versions that work have loop problems.
HOW DO I FIX THIS, IM SO STRESSED OUT, THIS IS UNNECESSARY!
after doing install rom from sd option, i was able to get out of the loop but i got
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
i still cant flash anything and i already tried eugenes files.
got into clockwork but when i put install files from sd card > choose from sd then it when i choose update.zip it just goes back to the android system recovery.
then i put reinstall files from the android system recovery and it just sends me back to clockwork recovery...
Try a diff. tar for when you Odin, you may have a corrupt file. Have you try Eugen JK2 tar file, prerooted?
Are you clicking reinstall packages?
Are you going through clockwork or rom manager?
Did you install the root update zip to reroot?

Odin back to JFD (make sure to check repartition) then boot and let it go through loading, then root the phone, Then load CWM, then load your new rom and load from recovery NOT CWM, you will have no problems.

Ok I just went through this less than a month ago with my captivate. I have a twenty page topic on this EXACT issue. I had all the major devs pming me and doing everything under the sun for probably a total of thirty hours. Result - NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS. This issue is not specific to our phones, there have been cases of this on almost every android phone. Your gonna get people telling you to do all this elementary trouble shooting...the problem is far too deep dont waste your time. You can flash back to stock with every tar and pit file this side of samsung...not gonna work. SOMETHING is not getting wiped. Save yourself the time and sell the phone to someone who will not use custom roms.
Also no rm/wipe command through abd is gonna help either! Sorry just telling you from someone who experienced this hell. Also every thread in existence on the internet on this subject has died out without an answer. If you read for enough hours you will find out the hard way! Good luck my friend!

Are you able to re install the original rom? I and many others with this issue had that unique problem of being able to install ONLY the rom that was running before everything went to hell. There lies the key I believe to all of this. What makes only one work.

LMAO!!! I understand that your frustrated but there is no need to blame other members. There is always a risk flashing a rom. If you are not willing to accept the risk then you shouldn't be flashing roms at all. Whitehawkx has helped many people in the vibrant community and its not his fault if YOU decide to flash his rom and don't know what your doing. You wont get much help around here with that attitude.

i just got my phone running ED01 today and it unrooted my phone. i rerooted it and all that jazz but my question is this...
i can't reboot into cwm recovery?
it just reboots me back into stock recovery.
do i download the latest cwm, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and problem solved?
Put a new kernel on your sd card. As soon as you finish rooting, boot immediately into cwr and flash the kernel. If you let the phone boot before you do this, the stock kernel overwrites the recovery.
This happened to me earlier today and had me pulling my hair out. Nemesis2all had the answer.
yes! YES! that was just what i needed.
thank.you.
Ughh. I am having a very similar problem and I have been trying to solve it for the past 4 hours with no luck. Could you please tell me what you did to resolve this?
I was on SC 2.9 with JT's TW voodoo kernel. I decided to go back to stock and start from scratch by flashing the DI01 all in one Odin package in Odin. (I disabled voodoo before doing this). Everything went smooth as butter. I then got the vzw prompt to OTA Froyo. I downloaded and installed it just fine. I then re-rooted. Now I am having a hard time trying to get CWM to flash/install. I flashed 'cwm-recovery-all' in odin. Odin says it was successful and reboots my phone. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes to the blue android 2e screen. I go to 'apply update.zip and thats when I keep getting errors.
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed "
I'm sure I am forgetting a step or missing something

First, grab a TW kernel, for example JT's TW voodoo kernel and place it on ur SD card. Next remove battery and enter download mode so u can Odin CWR. Once it's done u should see that it succeeded flashing CWR in Odin. Next reinstall battery and enter recovery mode by holding down both volume buttons and power button. Once u see the samsung logo, release and it should enter red CWR. Then flash the TW kernel and reboot. U should be golden. There's no update.zip file to worry about.
As mentioned on the previous post, the stock kernel overwrites CWR and defaults back to stock blue recovery. Good Luck...

I can't seem to get CM7 installed. This is the process that I am following:
1. ODIN EB01, let boot, pull battery
2. ODIN CWM 4.0.1.0 (The blue one)
3. Boot into recovery
4. Install CM7 from zip on SD card
Every time I do that, it shuts down, and reboots back into recovery, and says waiting for SD card and does a countdown. Once it goes to 0, it starts over again.
Any ideas?
I decided to jump to CM7 tonight...Installed cwm4 for cm7...wiped data,cache,dalvik...stuck on reboot loop to mount SD card as well.

Make sure you are also using the pit file with eb01...I'm sure you were but just saying....that said, do all the steps you posted exactly but use the 3-30 fix all recovery, make sure you wipe everything and flash cm7..after words you can power button menu to your new blue recovery and flash the glitch kernel if you want or any other kernel, radio, or gapps zip files

A few things I'm not clear about before jumping to a CM7.
Do you need to use the EC09 modem for a gingerbread rom?
Does it matter what CWM you use to get from ComRom to CM7? (need to odin the CWM 4 first?)

The ec09 radio is not necessary...but I've had the best results with it.
Jt has the 4x.x.x recovery in the cm7 o.p. But that is if you are having trouble getting cm7 to take.
I've used the otb 3.x.x.x, and times infinity's 3x.x.x, with no problem but I know some folks have had issues...I recommend the 3-30 fix all because it supports amend and edify scripting so it seems to work better, for me at least.
Other than that it really is the same way of flash any other rom, wipe everything and flash. its going from cm7/miui/to any other rom because of the different formats...cm7/miui/(mtd)
To go from an mtd build back to a non mtd build you must flash an official verizon build with the atlas 2.2pit file to properly repartition your files.
Also once on cm7...no more three finger boot...power button menu...reboot recovery, or
Terminal emulator..reboot recovery only, it will be the blue 4.x.x.x.
once your on cm7 you only use that recovery to flash kernels and zip files.

I made it to CM7 after I started fresh with the offical ED05 + Pit file. After CM7 was installed, the cwm that came with CM7 refused to mount my sd card.
At one point while in CM7, it told me my sd card was damaged so I wiped it (everything was backed up)
I'm back on ComRom 2.1 and it's working fine.
Forgot my other question: do you need new drivers after cm7, does your computer see it as a new device?
Yes, (correct me if I'm wrong) I think they are the same ones used for the Nexus.

The build is from a nexus s, so you may need the drivers for the nexus,however I have never needed them...my pc still recognizes my phone...I don't think it actually says fascinate like it used to, but I can still move files with no problem and (more importantly) odin still recognizes my phone!
You may even need the samsung generic drivers but either way those aren't hard to find either.

So you Odined DI01, repartitioned (Atlas), then odined recovery for cm7 and then odined ec09 radio???
are you letting the phone boot up once after odining the stock package w/ pit? If not that is more than likely your problem,
-odin d101 or whatever stock package w/ atlas pit file
-let phone boot up once then power off...get back to DL mode
-odin ec09 modem
-odin recovery for cm7
-boot into recovery
-then proceed as you normally would with installing cm7

I have tmobile's vibrant t959 and I had Nero w/voodoo on there and all I did was odin back to stock because I wanted to get ICS on the phone. well I knew I had a problem before I had dropped my phone and the service cut out it doesnt do anything since then but bootloop unless I have a ROM on there then it works PERFECTLY fine, So I assume it's an internal issue? Well I had used odin to go back to stock and the terrible bootloop started again. I tried to install a new rom after i installed the update.zip file but it WILL not go into clockwork recovery. The other day when I put Nero on there I didn't need rom manager or ANYTHING it was completely stock and all I did was do update.zip through install packages and then it brought me right to the Clockwork screen. Now after I hit install packages it just reboots to the loading screen and starts up the phone..then bootloops. I'm not too sure what to do I've installed every odin 1.7 1.3 everything every single JDF and pit file I can possibly find nothing works. I can't get into clockwork even though I have superuser and all that can anyone PLEASE give me some kind of advice? I just can't figure out how i got it to work the other day.. but I know it will work.

I literally tried everything you know what I just got it to work by odin. PIt and tar and then another tar.md5 file in PHONE and it workeD! I'm not sure how or why but i'm really even more confused now LOL
okay so now when i try to put roms on it just says installation aborted.... so...i dont know what else to do.... Maybe it was how i did the odin thing? but i do odin any other way and i get bootloops?

You have to root it after you used Odin. You can't flash custom roms without that and custom recovery. Follow the sticky guides.

I am completely and fully aware that I have to root after i use odin......LOL i've been rooting and using roms for the last two years I just am currently having this problem...yeah it was a md5 tar and the pit and then the jfd tar. i dont know where i found it but now i cant apply roms. I dont know if i odin back with just the pit and jfd tar then i get a bootloop....and i know what i'm suppose to be using. i do understand how to do it that's not the problem at all so no I don't need to follow the stickys.. it's the fact that when I do it RIGHT i get the bootloop.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this, and please do it even if you already have.
Delete any update.zip you have on your sdcard and put this one on your internal sdcard. http://db.tt/5FWb4wT8
Odin jfd w/ repartition clicked (must be jfd, not ji4/5/6 or anything else).
No, boot into recovery, select "real install packages". And then the phone will reboot back to recovery. Select it again.
Now you *should* be able to install the rom you want, assuming you have a vibrant 3g (t959) and not a galaxy s 4g (t959v) or a t959d.
Also, what's the error number you are given when the flash fails?

Alright thank you i'm trying all this now and I'll let you know what happens. I'm just a little nervous because whenever i odin back to stock without doing it the other way I get the bootloop from hell. hopefully it doesn't happen.... The error that appears is error in sd/romname installation aborted. that's all it says.
Alright well I did odin, the same way I always do it. This time without the tar.md5 file just the regular JFD. This is such a pain in the butt with no service connection...even through wifi I cannot use the market so anything i need i have to download the APK until I get this rom working. -.- OH BAM! ur update.zip worked! butttt roms still are aborted and i'm back into a bootloop.
wait a minute...can I not go directly to ICS or any other rom if i'm coming from stock?...I barely remember not being able to do that....okay so i tried putting cm7 on there and same thing... installing:sdcard:update-cm-7ect.zip finding update package opening update package installing update checking state of BMLMTD assert failed:run_program("/tmp/updater.sh") == 0 e?:error in sdcard/update-cm-7.1.01-vibrant-sig-ned. (1).zip status 7 installation aborted.......wtf D: i am about to give up... i dont know how I had nero w/voodoo on here... i know i odin back to stock then through clockwork installed the zip.. i tried to get nero back but the website is gone and no other downloads for nero are anywhere...
