I have the latest cwm recovery installed on my fscnate. Everytime i try to flash a rom through the recovery i get a code 7. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong or how i can fix this?
How did you get recovery in your phone?
What ROM are you trying to install?

Sounds like a corrupted download - my suggestion is to re-download and try again...
Also, as stated in the previous post, it makes all the difference whether you are flashing an AOSP ROM like OMGB/OMFGB, CM7, vanilla gingerbread, or Biffmod as opposed to a Touchwiz-based ROM such as UKB/Community ROM, Powerwash, or Geewiz. It also matters which ROM you're already on when you try to flash the new one. We can better help you if you provide this info...

Ive been looking and can't find an answer to this question, though I'm sure it exists somewhere.
When I flash a rom (this will be my first, from stock 2.1 planning to go to bionix v) do I need to flash the rom and then boot into the os, and then back into cwr to flash a modem, then boot again, and then back into cwr to flash a kernel. Or is this all done in one process?
If just one process how do I get the build I want together as one zip? If this the rom builder in the bible?
Last but not least.....what build (rom, modem, kernel) would you guys recommend for going from stock 2.1 that is stable, fast, smooth, and sweet?
Thanks in advance. XDA has taught me everything I know. (which isn't much but is growing everyday)

Root your phone then install rom manager. Download Bionix-V and place it on the main directory of your internal sd card. Then open rom manager and boot in to recovery. You may have to pick reinstall packages. Flash the bionix zip. Then choose reboot option. You don't need to flash anything else. The modem and rest are all in the bionix zip.

Im rooted and have rom manager, titanium, clockwork etc.... Also backed up with cw.
Basically Im at the point where I flash. But with all the posts I read about the different kernels and modems people are using I got confused.
Wasn't sure bionix v had a kernel and modem in it or if I had to put that together.
Is there anyone that would recommend nero over bionix for stability or are they both just as stable?
And if I wanted to use different modems or kernels how would I go about doing so?

Every person has their own suggestions. Bionix-V is great but so is Flagship V3. They all include the Kernel and modem so you dont have to flash seperatly. Read through the thread of the rom you want to flash and I amsure you will find out experiences with other Kernels and modems. But the best thing you need to do is start trying for yourself.

So uhhh, my boyfriend got me this phone a few days ago and I want to get a custom ROM on it. He's in alaska so he can't help me out for 14 more days, so Im here. Umm, well I just use AIO Vibrant toolbox to flash back to stock, so it's eclair I guess, not sure what that really means but thats what my phone says.
Then I rooted it, and it has superuser.
So what do I do now.. can you guys recommend me a ROM and help me install one? Like.. whats a good ROM, and.. what do I need to do. Do I need to update to froyo, if so how do I do that. Sorry Im such a newbie at all this, I hope someone helps me out!
Yeah and also like, I would like a ROM that looks awesome and is good for battery. Just an overall awesome popular one. Please if possible help me, or give me instuctions on like... installing it, I literally don't know diddaly squat about installing ROMS, I just wanna do it
the easiest way to install a rom would be to download rom manager. If you're gonna stick with froyo (which I recommend since its a lot easier to install and is better with battery), you won't have to get premium. after downloading rom manager, open it and select flash clockworkmod recovery at the top, then select galaxy S vibrant (make sure you select just vibrant NOT vibrant (MTD)). After that select reboot into recovery, if you are in CWM recovery then you can go ahead and reboot, if not, then select reinstall packages. It should then install CWM recovery and bring you back tot he same screen, select reinstall packages again and it should bring you to CWM recovery. After that go ahead and reboot, then go back to rom manager. Now you can go to download rom and select a rom you would like to install. I highly recommend project V or bi winning. Good luck!
I would recommend to flash a rom with rom manager. Its the easiest way to install any custom rom. You may have to vet the premium version for it but is so easy you can mess up.
I would recommend trigger project v or even trigger 3.2. Its fast and awesome.

I would suggest that you learn how to use Odin first before flashing a custom rom to your phone. Learn how to go to download/recovery mode. This way you know what to do in case you soft bricked your phone.
Then just flash in rom manager like what they said.

Oh and one important thing that the guys forgot to mentions above, Rom Manager is in the market, so yeah, and I would suggest you flash Bi-Winning V3 Rom

You are incorrect sir! Simply honey and revolution rom are better and faster than most froyo roms. I know because I've have tried them all. As for a froyo roms they are all decent and should try one of those before you move to gb. Warning flashing roms is addictive once you start its hard to stop. Good luck.

I recommend Bionix 1.3.1. It is known for its stability, and I feel it's a great rom to start off with. Novices and experts at flashing use it from what I have read in the thread. Also, it has decent battery life, but you can flash a new kernel (like Bali UV (undervolt)) which has showed to save battery life. I will put both links below for you to take a look at. Most of the time the instructions to install a kernel or rom are in the original post, however as stated you can flash through rom manager. If you want more in-depth details on how to install them, you can pm me, or I can post them here also.

Agreed, that is the set up I currently am using, I flashed a couple days ago and haven't been getting the battery life that others are claiming to have but the rom is really good. I've tried several of the gb roms and they are way to buggy its not even worth it.

As I mentioned in my other thread, I have a second hand US SGP 5.0. I really want to try some other ROMs but I want to create an image of my current setup just in case something happens. I've read that CWM can make full Nandroid backups so is there a way I can install CWM without flashing to a new ROM to make the backup of my current setup? I only see threads for new ROMs that include CWM but not a thread just for CWM.
Alternatively, if anyone can suggest a way to make a full image of my current setup without the need to flash anything, that would work as well.
Thanks!
CWM is included in custom kernels. just make sure to flash the CORRECT kernel with odin and u shall be fine
So just to clarify I can flash a custom kernel without flashing a new ROM?
Can I still hang onto the hope of being able to just install CWM without flashing anything? I would really prefer to make a full Nandroid backup of my current working setup before exploring new ROMs.
Thanks!
Yes you can flash just a kernel with odin. There is a way to install cmw without a custom rom or kernel but the galaxy player is a rather shunned device so sadly not for us.
I'd recommend flashing terrasilent, and if anything goes wrong theres stocks on this forum you can flash back to.

Hey Guys,
I'm kinda lost and haven't found anything the forum that remotely resembles my problem.
I have a rooted EVO 4G LTE with CM10 JB 4.1. I'm sick of the ****ty camera picture quality and constant freezing while taking pictures (just freezes then the phone reboots) so i'm trying to go to a more of a stock rom that I'll just customize with launchers etc.
My question is, since I can't update the OTA from the rom, do i need to flash the new kernel and the stock rooted rom and if so what order? The other question I had if I do need to install the new kernel does it have to be in the root of the internal SD or external SD?
I tried flashing some of the newer stock rooted roms and none of them would work. I would get the message (bad) when trying to update through recovery. I thought at first that just meant a corrupted zip file but when trying 3 different roms that all said the same thing I thought maybe it could be because the kernel is different then what I have.
At any rate, if anyone could help with a link to some kind of guide (if anyone knows of one) or just some general directions that would be insanely helpful.
Thanks for any help offered!
Download the Rom of your choice. Pull the boot img from that Rom. That is the kernel you need to flash. The fact that your asking this question I would reccomend using the app " flash image gui". You can flash the boot img from your current Rom then immediately boot into recovery and flash the Rom.

Haha, yeah. Thanks! I like to dabble but I wouldn't call myself any kind of pro. I just wasn't sure if the rom would stay stable if I updated the kernel will still in the OS. Anyways, thanks again! :good:
Hey man I didn't wanna come off like I'm some kind of expert cause I know enough to get myself in trouble that's about it, but I have some expierence with a s-on device.
If your not sure just read some more. A good thread is "don't panic" in the Q&A section.
You should be fine tho

I have an i777 that absolutely refuses to allow CWM. I have tried Siyah kernel on both GB and ICS stock roms, as well as AJK kernel on JB stock from. I am far from giving up but this has caused me so much headache and I've never bricked a phone as much as I've done this. Needless to say, I've learned a lot but I have yet to figure it out. If anyone could offer some advice or things to try I certainly would appreciate it.
I am currently running stock 4.0.3 with Siyah 4.3.3 kernel.

Assuming your phone is in fully working condition, then there is evidently something you are missing in your understanding of how the phone works. The SGH-I777 is different in that the recovery is built in to the kernel, and *not* installed separately in it's own partition. From reading the above, I'm wondering if your are trying to install a separate recovery, or if you art trying to install ClockworkMod from the play store by installing Rom Manager?
To help you get through this, I need to know exactly what you are doing that is not working for you, in a step by step explanation.
Thank you for your reply. I had feared this was a dead thread.
I am aware that custom recovery is embedded in the kernels themselves and not a standalone as I have encountered with my Hercules.
As for what I have tried. From manager from play store will flash 100% but never give me a complete notice which, I believe, is a successful download but not flash.
As far as kernels are concerned. I have used ones that are compatable with stock rooms. I've tried a couple that don't. All have failed to yield me with my desired result.
Is there a piece of code that I can modify to get the kernel embeded recovery to kill stock Sammy?

The phone is pretty old, and not many people hang out here any more. I still check in every once in a while. You would get more attention in any forum if you post a new thread with your question, rather than necro-ing an old thread.

I assume you meant to type "Rom" manager? Rom manager should not be used on the I777. For reference, see the very top sticky thread in the Q&A forum (this forum) [A] Rom Manager ******WARNING READ THIS BEFORE******

All custom kernels built for the I777 come with a recovery either based on CWM recovery or TWRP recovery. These kernels are usually compatible with the stock system which matches their version number. Once you install the custom kernel to replace the stock kernel, you will be able to enter recovery and it will be CWM (or TWRP in a few cases).
For Gingerbread, you can do this without rooting the device, since there is a Siyah kernel for Gingerbread that is available in tar format that can be flashed with Odin. To do this, flash the I777UCKH7 full distribution, which you can download from the Download Repository (see the link in my signature), then flash the tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash each one in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning. You will now be able to boot into recovery and you will have CWM recovery where you can flash many types of custom firmware.
Another route you could take is to flash the I777UCMD8 full distribution from the Download Repository, then use the Framaroot app with the Aragorn exploit to root the device, and then use Mobile Odin Pro, or Mobile Odin lite to flash the AJK v4.9 NoSwap kernel which is compatible with the stock system. If you need additional instructions on how to do that, just ask.
Is there a piece of code that I can modify to get the kernel embeded recovery to kill stock Sammy?
