Okay so please excuse my less than impressive samsungness lol however I have a bit of a quandry I have 2 htc sensations and recovery installation was a deadset breeze with fastboot, same with xoom and what have you.. this phone is a bit different and I think i have 2.
1. I installed rom manager and installed one to the recovery but it would never show up so I tried,
2. Installing a kernel with cwm
Now I have 2 and they're different versions
Can I get rid of one, ie mainly the kernel one and leave the actual recovery one alone? Am I mistaken?
I tried to use the recovery one to install a kernel but i didn't get a boot just black screened me.. Is there still 2 versions ie a samsung style kernel and a aosp one?
I feel like a fish out of water on this phone.. Im not a total noob with root achieved obviously and running miui 1.10.28 official build
Anyone can shed some light that would be awesome
Sent from my mind control device
EDIT: Miui should come with a kernel with cwm recovery, so you shouldn't need to get it independently.
Reflash stock rom kernel as cwm is built into the kernel
In samsung land the recovery is built into the kernel rather than being a serperate partition like in htc land.
Uninstalled rom manager, flash cf root kernel for your rom version.
It will install cmw manager (like rom manager but for cf root kernels) and give you root.

Cheers for a reply mate
Okay so I think now I only have one.. Volup home and power give me cwm5 and adb reboot recovery gives me cwm5 were as before they were different... Bizarre as that sounds
As for kernels what are good cm7/aosp ones that will work with miui? I'm keen for a bit of a flash around get to know this device a bit better and undervolt/better overclocking.. As the kernel with miui only has increments of 0.2ghz meaning its hard to find your max threshold before she reboots/bootloops lol
Does this device have fastboot, or strictly cwm/odin as main methods? Just for clarity
Edit: and does anyone have a cwm zip of extended controls for 1.10.28?

Hello,
Not sure if this has been brought up before.
I flashed the simply galaxy (gingerbread) rom last night. I come from bionixV 1.2.1.
I have 2 issues right now. I can not see the recovery. When ever I boot into recovery it freezes/hangs
in the vibrant boot logo. I read somewhere that the recovery is behind the boot logo and I can not see it.
I tried the 3 button combo and the rom manager reboot into recovery - I still can not get into recovery
I will appreciate any help.
Also, I installed titanium backup, it installed correctly, but I can not see it in the app drawer.
thanks,

I think I told this before in the rom's thread, you cannot boot into recovery by choosing that option from the power screen. You've to flash a 2.2 kernel (overstock) using the sgs kernel flasher app and then reboot, press the 3 buttons combo and you'll have the recovery screen full functional.
READ, READ AND READ my friend before you flash any rom.
I flashed the overstock 2.1 using the SGS kernel flasher app.
Now my phone hangs at the overstock logo.
I took out the battery and powereed on, it still hangs at the overstock logo.
I can do the 3 button combo to go to recovery.
SGS Kernel flasher bricks me everytime....not really recommended....but that could be that only way to flash a kernel I guess...or ODin
flash to stock..

You've to use the 3 buttons combo to get into recovery. Take the battery off, press power and the volume buttons, when the vibrant screen shows up, take your finger off the power and keep the other on the volume. TARAAA, you're in recovery.
OK , I understand flashing overstock kernel, allows me to do what I want in recovery. after I finish what I have to do. I need to flash back to a 2.3 based kernel
What kernel do you recommend so that I can use simply galaxy again?
How about the lidroid kernel, it says recovery works and no headset toggle to use? Have you tried lidroid kernel?

No. And I advise you not to either, it could well brick your phone for good with it's bootloader modification. I'd suggest flashing the Gold 2.0 kernel. Then when the phone boots up, flash the beta 7 kernel, using the sgs kernel flasher.

@abu-7abash
will you be kind enough to post me a link to gold 2 kernal and the beta 7 kernel. I tried a search i am not sure if its the correct kernels you mentioned
thanks
There you go, they're attached in the op here
thank you
I noticed you have malice 2.3.1 ,is this a gingerbread rom?
Nope. It's a 2.2.1 one. Im not running it at the moment though, been jumping through 4 roms in the last 24 hours alone, hard to keep up with the sig
based from your experience what is the 2.3 rom that you like best
At the moment it is a classified one, maybe in a day or two it will be posted around here. You'll know it then
In the meantime, SimplyGalaxy is the best around I say.
@abu-7abash
Sorry for all the questions. I went to the link you posted which is Damiangto's forum. I am unable to find the kernel. I registered and I still can not find a download for the kernel
can you guide where in the website it is
thanks
Better yet I attached them for you.
thank you very much.
question:
the simply galaxy has voodoo enabled?
Does thi kernel have voodoo? if it doesn't that mean I have to disable voodoo before flashing these kernels?

No need to disable voodoo.

No you don't have to disable voodoo. They both support ext4
@abu-7abash
why do I have to flash first the gold 2.0 and then flash the beta 7.
can I just flash immediately to beta 7
Ok so i rooted my phone and flashed the kernel via ODIN. im currently running CWM 5.0.2.6 but it seems i cant install any roms from zip files and it aborts durring verification. Ive tried everything under then sun to try to get it to work. Also when i goot into recovery i get the green android logo with the trangle exclimaiton. once i hit power i get into CWM. but its useless.
Id love to package the rom into a .tar or .rar and flash using odin.
Also, the kernel i flashed is supposed to have voodoo control and OC of which i have neither, yet when i go into DL mode it says i have 3 binaries,
love the phone so far!
Remember the power key does nothing in cwm. The home key is the select key.

Either it's an utter miracle it even booted then because the I777 does not have a Wolfson audio amp and hence NO kernels for it have Voodoo Sound, thus you booted a kernel for a first-generation GalaxyS device, or you own a device other than the SGH-I777 and you're in the wrong place.
All currently released custom kernels for the SGH-I777 have CWM 5.0.2.3
I am really new for this.
I want to flash CM7 stable to my Samsung Vibrant that currently runs Android 2.2 (stock).
I tried to flash by using Rom Manager so many times but I still have no result.
I really want to flash CM7 with Odin because I have played around with Odin since flashing stock firmware.
So, I hope someone might have a good idea for this.
Thank everyone,
Sengchheang
What happens when you try to use rom manager?
Btw are you rooted with custom recovery?

I cannot enter recovery mode with "install form zip file" option.
When I choose reboot to Clockwork Recovery, it just show show simple menu as I use 3 combo buttons.
How can I get the "install from zip file" menu? How?
Put cwm update.Zip on root of your internal sd and click reinstall packages in basic recovery... you might have to do it twice or three times

2 options, Odin a voodoo kernel (those have cwm built in, and s easiest if on 2.2) or Odin back to jfd. Those are the easiest.

OK, First of all which Voodoo kernel do you suggest and will this get us 2E recovery afterwards, I'm having the same problem he is, I tried CWM recovery flashing it 3 or 4 times and all I still get is the Samsung 3E[blue] menu, we need the 2E [Green] recovery menu and CWM isn't providing it for some reason on these newer HW locked Vibrants, my old one wasn't HW locked and CWM allowed the 2E recovery right from the get go! These newer phones suck because of this delimna!! OH and BTW JFD didn't help me either!!

Jfd still requires the cwm update.zip, but if you're on 2.2 with 3e, you'll need to Odin a kernel (be it a custom one like immortality or Bali), or search for supercurio's thread where he had a bunch of kernels with cwm built in, bypassing the need for a "working" stock recovery. Google "xda vibrant voodoo kernel" and it should be within the first few links. Also, make sure it's in a .tar and not .zip.

Thanks. It is working for me.
It is a very guide.
Now I can get CM7 on my device.
Everything is ok at the first test including gps.
I don't know yet about battery life.
The problem I had before is ClockworkMod Recovery with 3e.
So, what I have done is to flash kernel by Odin.
The kernel is is below.

I just flash with this kernel and continue to install CM7 by using guideline of CM7.

I've been flashing roms a while now but have not encountered this problem. I can only flash roms with odin because i am not rooted, and i cannot root my phone. I am stuck on XWLPD kernel, no matter what kernel i install it never changes, why's that? Whichever ics rom i install the kernel never changes and stays XWLPD. I tried to root that so i could install a custom rom but then i get the yellow triangle and reboot and no superuser, no cmw manager and no root permissions, and kernel remains the same. I cannot downgrade to GB either as it just gets black screen after odin download mode and stays hot. I've searched through these forums for all sorts of solutions but to no avail, thus making this thread. Any help would be appreciated.
Could you state what you exactly did to change the kernel? And also you should have posted on the Q and A section
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
My bad. I should have. I came off from the Vk rom when everything was fine, and i decided to go back to a non custom rom so i used odin to install one of the released 4.0.3 roms which had the XWLPD kernel. After that, i couldn't root anymore, ater installing the cf root for the respective kernel i see the yellow triangle like all's well but when the phone boots up it isn't rooted. So then i tried installing another official rom XWLPF, installs and works fine, but kernel remains XWLPD, and it's like that for any other rom now. Going back to GB just shows black screen after the samsung sign.
Basically, i just can't install cf root anymore. Or change kernel.
After installing cf-root. Have you tried going to recovery and flash another custom kernel like siyah?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
In doubt you could always flash back the recovery image from cyanogenmod wiki, and flash cm7 after. That way you're sure to get a fresh start and everything should work fine after!
It had a problem with my phone and this was the easiest way out.
Good luck

Thank you
Thanks guys. I managed to find a work around this rather unusual problem. I installed cmw from external storage, along with root, and changed rom from there. I couldn't change kernel, but atleast i changed roms. So i can live with that. Again, thanks.
Hi everyone,
I just installed Neutrino 2.9 following the main thread instructions and so replacing Clockworkmod Recovery with Romracer Recovery as suggested.
Everything is working fine except I lost most of the Rom Manager functionalities because it require Clockworkmod Recovery installed.
Now I was wondering if I can go back to Clockworkmod and keep Neutrino ROM installed.
Also, will the OTA Update have issues if it does not find Romracer?
Thanks and very good job to anyone is developing these custom ROMs.

You should be able to install ROM Manager's recovery, then flash RomRacer's. That should trick ROM Manager into thinking its recovery is in place, thus giving you back its functionality.

I actually did it and it worked, I flashed CWM Recovery and then reinstalled RomRacer's again using Rom Manager.
Now Rom Manager shows that I have CWM installed while I don't anymore but at least it released almost all functionalities (except update check).
Bye,
Max
well, I dont have any issues, I have CWM Touch, so I dont give a chainsaw why you have to get only RRRecovery

It is actually strongly suggested by installation guidelines.
Anyway I had to go back to stable CM7.2 because my Atrix started to freeze (or turn off) and to get it back on I have to try several time to remove battery and put it back while holding the button power on.
With CM7.2 it happens less frequently than with Neutrino, of course I can't really say that this is the reason but I need my phone and I had to do something.
