I'm getting fed up with this phone fairy tale!
What I did.
1. Complete stock recovery.
2. Intalled CWM Recovery.
3. Rooted with SuperOneClick.
4. Install ROM Manager.
5. Download and install Nightly #115.
6. Get this for all the trouble.

When I enter recovery mode I see "ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3" so it appears that CWM Recovery was a success, but installing Nightly was a disaster.
Anyone who would possibly assist my on this journey to get Nightly #115 and have my phone working properly?
* UPDATE 1: Installed Cyan through recovery, now the Cyan skateboard guy appears over and over again.
Have you executed all available "format" in recovery? Maybe you should mount and format everything except SD card, do a full wipe, and reflash the rom and full wipe again, all in the same CWM session. That's what I instinctively would do, and I never get the sort of problem that you describe...
You should also try another rom

have you tried clearing data then flashing twice?

Clear all data, flash the ROM twice in a row, without restarting.
Start fresh, download chosen rom > flash cf-root (already rooted and has cwm recovery) > follow tutorial to remove triangle (optional) > flash selected cyanogenmod build (follow instructions CAREFULY) > happines

I managed to install the Cyanogen, finally. Thanks for that.
But I don't understand what all the fuzz as about, so far.
When I installed Cyan on my Desire from the stock, I noticed dramatic changes, literally mind blowing - but install Cyan from the stock I feel like the phone has more "lag" and slower all over.
I'm guessing I screwed something up again..
I just wanted to let you know that the "poor" performance was due to ADW launcher, installed LauncherPro and the phone is smoother than ever.
Only problems I'm facing right now is poor 3G performance, phone tends to get VERY hot and bad battery performance with brand new battery that used to last 1-2 days.
Few additional specs if those could help you figure out something.

Have you installed BetterBatteryStats (free for xda-members) to see if there is any rouge process that devours battery, for example mediaserver? That can go totaly bonkers, but can be solved.
I'll check that out, I just bought a XDA membership - how can I apply for the BetterBatteryStats app?
Sorry for taking so long before answering. If you are logged in to XDA then you can download the app in the main thread of BetterBatteryStats: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
And off course you could buy it in Android Market if you want to support the developer.

No matter which FroYo Release I try, "Fix-permissions" doesnt seem to work properly. Regardless of what i try, it only fixes permissions for the CWM app itself. So its shows two lines of text for CWM, and its done. Any one know why this is happening?
Ps- I've tried completely un installing CWM and deleting its folders and everything associated with it but to no avail. I'm out of ideas...

I take it that everyones ClockWork's "Fix-Permissions" works perfectly fine? Any input would be nice. THanks
You need to get into the actual clockwork recovery and fix perm there. So, open ROM manager, select reboot into recovery, select re-install packages, clockwork recovery should boot up, then goto advance options at the bottom of the list and select, then you should see the fix perm option about half way down the list, select it and your done.
I have the same problem. I'm thinking it's to do with CWM needing to be updated for the vibrant. Since there is no current 2.2 official/supported release it will not be updated as of yet. I haven't contacted koush(dev), but I'm sure he knows.
Even if you do go directly into CWR you can select it, but it doesn't seem to scroll the script...
I am using the stock Froyo eugene posted and I am not having any problems with ROM manager or CWR. I have done two backups with ROM man and wiped cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions in CWR and it worked. I even got the fix permissions log on my SD card.
This must be it, because same thing happens if i try from the recovery. Is there anyone that can get fix-permissions to actually run the entire script? Would be nice to know if its a select few, everyone, or just us two

Im also experiencing this. Im running AOSPish froyo.
Hi every one.
I own a Samsung Vibrant, and I am trying to install the last CM7 on it, but I keep getting this annoying messege (E:error in sdcard/dcim/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-vibant-signed.zip) (status 7) installation aborted!
I kept searching in the forum , and I think I know the problem, my device is vibrant put when I start it it shows GT-I9000
after further searching, I found this post,
By atinm
Make sure whatever you flash has the name "Vibrant" in the file name, status 7 usually means you're trying to flash some other device's file onto the Vibrant. Or you have your properties set incorrectly (which happened if you flashed bilboa1's broken kernel - I think he might had a fix for this if that is the case with you).

I could not find the fix he spoke about.......so what can I do?
thanks in advance
Try Odin back to jfd and then install. Also 7.1 rc1 is pretty old. You should pick up one of the nightlies to get a more up-to-date CM7.

Thanx geoffcorey
this worked perfectly......I will mention the steps just in case someone needed.
1- I downloaded the following files:
T959UVJFD.tar from http://android.azizus.info/vibrant/T959UVJFD.tar
Odin from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
512 pit file from http://www.4shared.com/get/tOVvEDQr/s1_odin_20100512.html
the latest cyanogen.....check cyanogen website under (devices)
*put the cyanogen file on the root of the SD card
2- I followed the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
so now I have a stock Vibrant.......Time to root
3- root using this thread (follow the video exactly!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
now we have a rooted, stock ROM vibrant. lets go cyanogen.
4-download the latest clockwork rom manager from the market (use the markt enabler if it is not shown in your country, like me)
5-press on the first option (flash clockwork mod recovery) and choose vibrant
then press on reboot into recovery.
*if it did not reboot into clockmod recovery and booted in android recovery (blue font screen)

This helps the op to answer his question how?
Also, stop spamming to get people to use that rom when your "suggestion" has nothing to do with the question.

I have had Cyanogen 9 running fine for a few months. About 2 weeks ago I changed the modem, but I don't think that should be the cause of my current problem (but I could always be wrong).
Out of nowhere, apps suddenly started crashing. Everything I was using gave me a crash message. Dogcatcher and Facebook, in particular. I rebooted and the phone did not get past the Cyanogen boot screen.
I've tried to re-rom it, but CWM Recovery seems to be gone too. It goes straight into download mode. I tried to flash 6.0.1.2 with Odin but nothing changes. It still puts me into download mode.
Edit: Just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458&highlight=unbrick
I'll play with that for a minute here. Fingers crossed.
In future......

Also, your device is not "bricked". Just go into download mode, flash Siyah v4 kernel, reboot into recovery and then flash rom, done!
Yes yes, I did a fair bit of searching before posting. It just so happened that very soon after posting, my searches actually turned up something! lol
Trying Siyah. Brb...
Edit: Odin does not seem to like .zip files. I'm using Odin 3.07. Do I have to change it to .tar?
More edit: OMG, nothing I'm trying is working. This is really bad timing. I need this phone RIGHT NOW. I'm sorry for being a noob, but I desperately need help.
Still editing: Ok, I've worked out that there's a difference between a CWM .zip package and a .tar Odin package. I've got Siyah 5 installed now. I just need to find a way to get the rom onto the sdcard so I can flash Cyanogen 10 (since 9 apparently doesn't work with this kernel). Normally this would be easy, but I'm traveling at the moment and don't have all my gadgets and adapters with me.
WiFi ? Lots of apps on Google Play enable WiFi transfer (from a PC or whatever). If you "don't have all your gadgets" & no access to a PC of some description with WiFi (or a card reader even), you're not fixing it.
Edit - Or...(I forgot the bleeding obvious). Download the file(s) you need directly to the phone from CM's site/whatever using WiFi somewhere (hotel/net cafe/elsewhere); will be infinitely cheaper than using a carrier's network (unless you're using your home carrier or have a good data allowance cheap data. If you're roaming this could be expensive).

Rom manager actually isn't necessary for flashing Roms luckily (assuming you are already rooted with clockworkmod recovery installed)
you'll just need to download the zip file of the rom you want (you can browse through the ones in the development section)
and place the zip file on the root of your SD card (or in a file if you prefer, its just easier to find on the root of the internal sd card)
then reboot to recovery by turning off the phone.
then power it back up while holding power + volume up + volume down at the same time. (its a bit of a balancing act..)
this will put you into recovery mode. (it should say clockworkmod at the top)
it should look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then choose install from internal memory and choose the rom you downloaded.
once it finishes you can reboot and it will boot into your new rom.
What he said above (to an extent). If you are only Rooted but still have stock recovery, then you won't be able to follow his directions as you will have 4 options and Install from SD won't be one.
What you need to do is go to my Repo thread in the Dev section and download the CWR zip. Offhand I can't remember if it is named Update.zip, but if not you just have to rename it. Boot into Stock recovery via the key combo and hit Reinstall Packages. It will cycle through and should change your recovery. If not, then hit Reinstall Packages again and this time for sure (I have one Vibe that'll do it on the first time and another that takes 3 times). From there, all you have to do is flash your ROM based on it's OP instructions.
Well I have superuser permissions but how do you know if you have clockwork recovery?

It's finally time for me to do what every XDA user done already - root my phone and use another ROM. I haven't ever before done this that's why I'm very excited.
I'm trying to follow this noob-friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910 . I read it like ten times already, but I still have some questions.
1. I want to have a CM rom. Should I get Lloir's CM 12.1 or the official CM 11? The thing is, I won't be able to get another rom for almost a year and I want a quite stable rom.
2. I guess I should install the latest TWRP 2.8 recovery from this forums, am I right? But then, why on the official CM download page there is a separate "Cyanogen Recovery" file?
3. According to the tutorial, I should install SuperSu, is this the right version?
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
4. The thing I'm worried about mostly - my digitizer is damaged and I sometimes get "phantom touches", I can't tap anything on screen, the only solution is screen off & on. What if phantom touches appear when I'm in recovery? From what I read most things are controlled by physical buttons (which work), but not all, some requires to swipe. What then? Can I turn the screen off or abort the process and start again?
Thanks in advance for every reply.
If you need a stable rom you should stay on stock.
1. I use CM12.1 and used CM11 before. I prefer 12.1. They all have some more or less annoying bugs -> read the threads and make your own decision
2. Use the TWRP version which is linked in the rom thread. Cyanogen recovery has less functions and is not public released for x+ afaik
3. CyanogenMod is shipped with it's own su-management app. So no need to install SuperSU
4. you can turn screen on and off in recovery
Thank you very much!
An hour ago I installed CM12.1, I may say successfully, because it booted and now Play Store is downloading GBs of apps., so I can't in fact do anything .
Maybe just one lat thing. If I'd like to install a CM12.1 update in the future, do I have to wipe everything? Or just flash the boot.img and rom and that's it?
CM says you don't need to wipe, but Lloir sometimes wants us to wipe x)
In CM12 root must be enabled in developer options btw.
