I'm trying to install this ROM on my Vibrant that's currently running KB5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105037
I saved the .zip file to my SD Card.
I installed ROM Manager and Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery. I'm rooted, so I got the superuser prompt which I said allow to.
I then went to Install ROM from SD Card and chose my ROM. I clicked ok to reboot the phone.
When it booted up, nothing installed and there were no options to install anything.
The top of the screen said Android system recovery (3e) then under it, Samsung Recover Utils.
Doesn't look like I'm booting to CWM.
What am I doing wrong?

go to rom manager and click boot to recovery or something like that, should take you to red or green recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
install rom/file from sd and go down to project v then yes
let it install
go to advanced
wipe dalvik and fix permissions
reboot
leave it for 10 min (dont touch anything)
reboot again
Nope. When I boot to recovery, I get the same screen as if I choose install rom from SD card.
There's nothing about install from SD card on that screen.
Any other ideas?

did you reinstall packages twice from stock recovery screen after flashing clockwork ??
No. why do I have to do that? I don't have the install zip from sdcard at all. Am I even on the right screen?

you need to do that to be able to get into clockwork recovery i think
havent dont it for awhile
3e stock is the issue. Backup. Odin to jfd. Flash the update. Zip, no need for rom manager. Much easier.
Check the noob guide in my signature.
Write, that's a pain. How do I just flash the zip once I'm back on jfd?
Odin, root, flash takes 10 minutes.
Start downloading the files, while you wait read my guide to find the easiest method.
Ok. I'll try that.
Not clear exactly what I do after I ODIN jfd and reboot.
I have the ROM I want on my SDCard. What do I do with update.zip? Am I using CWM to flash the ROM or what's the way to do it without that?

You have to reinstall package (you may need to do reinstall package twice)...then you will see more options...

Too late for that. I'm flashing jfd now.
Ok. Files downloaded. Doing ODIN now.
Did I need to do anything with that update.zip?
Stand by, please.
Once jfd boots, move my update to internal root with your rom.
Your phone can be on, both volume s and power for about 9 second, release at Vibrant logo
Stock recovery
Reinstall packages
Do it again
Cwr
Now flash your rom
Boom
Ok. Got CWM to come up and choose to install my zip.
Says Installing: SDCARD: Project_V_06.......
Finding update package....
Been that way for a couple of minutes.
I think something is wrong. It's definitely just stuck there.
EDIT: I did a battery pull, then back into recovery and the ROM is installing now.
I guess it wasn't such a pain. My wife will kill me if I screw this up.
I guess that I figured once I went to JFD, there's really no going back, but if I flashed the ROM directly from the 2.2 ROM I was on, it was a major process anyhow and it wouldn't have been any easier going back.
Waiting for ROM to boot and will then let it sit idle for 10 minutes per instructions.
I really hope this works better than the stock ROM and doesn't have any showstopper bugs or I'll never hear the end.
And hope that my Titanium backup gets everything pretty much back the way it was.
I did backup TWLauncher with Titanium. Can I restore that to this ROM to get my home screen icons back or am I going to need to rebuild my home screen icons because it's a different TWLauncher version?
Cool, linda should be installing voodoo. You're golden.
I'm also on V. Strongly suggest his trigger theme on top. If you have not amazing signal, try the ka6 modem. Only issue with V, I can't stand the stock browser after having the cm7 browser.
I use adw ex, no clue what versions are there.
If you have the paid version of TB, restoring apps is cake. Avoid system apps, do NOT restore those.

Yes, I didn't even back up system apps. I've gone through that on my Droid X and you get the sync thing to never go away.
Maybe I'll try that KA6 modem. I flash that via ODIN, right? Why KA6, in particular?
I think we'll stick with the stock theme
Don't try ka6 until you feel you need to. There are flashable versions.
No stock keyboard included!?
Any way to get that back? I'm sure she's used to using the keyboard the way it was and won't want to learn an alternative keyboard.
I ran bloater and found samsung keyboard and wifi calling there and it says it's installing, but they don't.

Ok well i got bored with the Stock 2.2 update from kies so i ODIN back to stock JFD. After that i rooted it and flashed clockwork recovery. I am now trying to install Bonix V but for some reason it just freezes at "Installing update..." Anyone know why its freezing? I searched for a solution but didn't find anything. Should i go back to stock 2.2 via kies and root that instead?
I would try to reinstall it before you Odin back. Are maybe even try Bionix V 1.2.1.

Thats the one im trying to install. I've tried reinstalling it many times now. I noticed that whenever i reboot to recovery ,the phone goes back to the stock recovery. I get clockwork recovery by reinstalling package every time. Then when i boot up to the phone normally Rom Manager and Titanium Backup have been automatically deleted. But i do still have root. I dont get whats going on.
are you flashing it from CWR? Did you try another download... maybe try another/updated rom too.

yea im flashing it from CWR. I haven't tried another download. Back when i had 2.1 i flashed Eugenes Gingerclone rom, that one worked fine. I'm wondering if maybe the official 2.2 update changed something thats now allowing me to flash?
I'd try the new bionix V 1.2.1 rom, see what happens.
If you are in CWR, that shouldnt be an issue.
I would download another rom, factory wipe, wipe cache/dalvik, flash, wipe cache/dalvik (NOT a factory wipe), then reboot.
boom.
try trigger.

I figured out the problem. What happened was that I extracted all the files from the bionix ROM because i wanted to have the Nexus boot up animation. I didn't know anything about signing after doing some research. Now i can't figure out how to sign the zip lol. I guess ill try to find another way to get the nexus boot animation. Thanks for the replies.
flash the roms as is, once installed then worry about the startup and shutdown animations.

You dont have to unpack the zipped rom in order to make changes to it. Open the zip file, dont unpack just open it to view its contents. You can add and remove files as you wish, as long as you put them in the right place you can mod the zipped rom and flash without a problem.
Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
^ that. But I would add...
Just flash the rom. That boot can easily be flashed, it's in the theme section. May help your install.
yea i flashed the rom as is. pretty awesome rom.
You can download a flashable version of the nexus boot animation, I don't have a link just search.
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

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.

Ok, so I'm kinda new to the whole rooting, recovery, etc, but after successfully rooting my phone last week, I felt like trying to do something simple like putting on Community Rom or a different boot-up animation. I followed this thread for Community Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053567
Which then references other links to download the files necessary to flash the Community Rom to the Fascinate. Problem is, I cannot get 'Update.zip' from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046855
The update.zip link goes to a 404 not found page, so I can't finish the rest of this.
What I have done so far is installed ODIN on my PC and flashed Clockworkmod, though its not the same one I see referenced on XDA....the filename is
"cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX". Would this make an difference at all? I got it on my phone and it works when I boot into recovery, but it gives the stock blue screen and not the CWM screen (which I understand should be red) and I guess this is because I don't have Update.zip or something, so I can't flash anything using CWM at the moment.
I did find an 'update.zip' file somewhere (I really don't remember where now), and I put this on the root of my sdcard, but when I go into record and select 'Apply sdcard/update.zip' it shows that it's trying to do something (a progress bar moves across the screen very quickly), but then I get a triangle with an exclamation mark inside and the Android underneath it and nothing else happens. I left it for at least 5 mins and still nothing happened. The only way I can get back to the phone normally is to pull the battery out, put it back in and reboot the phone from the stock recovery.
Can someone help me out? Do I have a crap 'Update.zip' file and if so where do I get a good one from?
My specs for my phone are:
Hardware ver. I500.04
Firmware ver. 2.2.1
Basband ver. S:i500.04 V.ED01
Kernal ver. 2.6.32.9
Build number: SCH-I500.ED01

Ok, I guess I'm kinda confused now. I already have CWM on my phone. Are you saying that I should use Odin to put the version of CWM on from here and I won't need update.zip?
Update.zip is not needed, the cwm replaces the stock recovery in the phones flash memory

You already have cwm on your phone and the recovery 3-30 file is fine, download comm rom and it put on the root of your phones sd card (ie.not in a folder)...if you download it right from your phone it will be in a file that your downloads will be in..most likely tapatalk download, download, or downloads... the point is you want to be able to find it easily.boot into recovery and
Do a factory data reset, also wipe cache, and go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache . After doing those three things locate the comm rom file and install..reboot and enjoy!
If you did odin recovery and then did not flash anything the stock kernel will re write recovery and you will have to re-odin recovery again...so if I were you I would....odin recovery...put the batt back in, three finger boot into cwm flash your rom and or kernel and done

Maybe that's what happened then, I used Odin to put CWM on, but didn't flash anything after that. I'll go ahead and try again and see what happens.
So, why does everyone say you need update.zip all the time after you Odin CWM on the phone?

You use to have to use update.zip but that is not the case anymore...and since you didn't flash anything after recovery you will have to re-do it, so if u did not already download the com rom file you will have to boot up...download comm rom...(i recommend the one with the otb kernel because you can overclock and undervolt with the voltage control app), pull the batt, odin recovery...that 3-30 recovery file is what works for me, put the batt back in and boot directly into recovery at this point I would suggest going to backup and restore and doing a nandroid back up btw power button is accept and menu button is go back...this willsave your phone exactly like it is now just in case things get screwy you will have a point to go back to ( but do not try to restore that back up in the future with out first disabling the voo doo lag fix) after your nandroid is done ,wipe data/cache/dalvik, navigate to wherever your comm rom zip is...install reboot and done...this process will take a few minutes and it's important to be patient...if you are fully stock as if right now you will hear a robotic lady saying stuff as your phone boots up...this is all normal and what you want to hear..once it reboots you can start playing around and setting it up the way you like it
One more suggestion is to use titanium backup and back up all of your apps prior to flashing and after your flash just restore all the apps...not data..i also export all of my contacts to the sd card not g mail cause I've lost contacts before so I just export to sd..flash and import them..that's what works for me...good luck..happy flashing!

Thanks efan, that worked perfectly this time. I now have Comm Rom on my phone and like you said, didn't need update.zip at all.
Edited as I thought I was having problems after with Android Market, but its fine now.
Ok so i downloaded rom manager and selected the top option flash clockworkmod recovery and picked my phone ( im already rooted by using the one step click root) and then i picked install rom from SD card and picked my room (which is Bi-winning v3) and my phone turned off and rebooted and went into the samsung recovery screen i tried to reinstall packages but gave me a error , i even tried the "all clockworkmod" recoveries and no luck same thing happens boots me up to the samsung recovery.
Does any one know what am doing wrong or what i can do to fix this problem?? thanks in advance and im still on my stock android os have't changed anything.
First, you need to start with a clean SD card. Then, open ROM Manager, flash cwr etc. etc. When it is finished downloading, power off the phone and reboot into recovery. From there (this is where the clean SD card is needed) then hit "reinstall packages, then hit reboot. This should bring up the iconic green text. reply if there are any problems.

i highly suggest you learn how to use ODIN in the Vibrant Bible. If you're doing anything that has to do with rooting and flashing your phone, be sure you know how to revert back to stock. You WILL NEED TO at some point or another or find out what if feels like to own a brick.

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!

thanks a bunch guys! happy holidays ill let you know if i succeed
This may sound dumb but
make sure you are NOT hitting "reboot recovery" and you ARE hitting "reboot system now"

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.
