Hey Everyone,
I put my phone back to stock for a while and before I was on Froyo. Now I am having problems with trying to get CWM/Rom Manager on my phone. I have followed the steps to get it rooted (I have SuperUser) but when I do into Rom Manager, the two options I get are Galaxy i9000 and Epic 4G. Is it me or did I do something wrong?
Rom Manager will flash either one just fine, but then when I try to do I backup I get denied with the {Triangle !} and back to square one. I have to ReOdin the CWM-ALL file to get a backup running, and then Rom Manager stops recognizing it. Haaaalllpppp please?
I won't even start asking any other questions until this one is answered
rom manager is worthless for the fascinate...especially when running a touchwiz rom. manually flash cwm2.5 via odin. look up my guide in the general section.

Hello All,
I rooted my Vibrant many times with the One Click Root by TGA Gunman. But this time I could not get root.
I tried Nero V3 with Voodoo. I wanted to go back to Obsidian V3, great battery life. I disabled Voodoo. I flashed back to stock T959UVJFD with Odin, let the phone sit for 10 minutes. I tried rooting it many times and failed. I got this error code:
E:can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted
My phone came with stock T959UVJI6, rooted and install Nero V3. I used T9595UVJFD to flash back because Odin won't recognized JI6.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks!
P.S does any know where I get custom ROM, pre-rooted, in tar
Mod - please close thread
I am going to try S15274n Root for Noob

So I'm assuming you're getting that error while trying to Reinstall Packages? If so, then the root was unsuccessful for some reason, push the OCLF app to your /system/app directory and there you can install it using Files or some other file program like AndroZip.
Link to OCLF App:

The app is outdated but it will still root your device just fine.
Thanks!
HI bobbbb,
I tried OCFL as you suggested. Installed, but cannot run, required Root. I read s15274n post in Q&A , Root for Noob. I placed update zip file, follow instruction. Here is what happen.
I download ROM Manager, able to use it and goes into recovery. I tried to install a ROM, but it stuck on looking for update zip file. Don't have one.
But still cannot install Titanium Backup, no root access.
Very odd.
The EXACT thing happened to me last week. I used ODIN to go back to JFD and then used Kies to go flash JI6. When I tried to flash later on, I started getting that message. After I got ROM manager on my phone I tried flashing CE recovery and it said it flashed, but I could never get into CW recovery to flash a new ROM or root. I tried a bunch of things like moving update.zip to my other drive, renaming files, etc.....It all went away when I went to settings/manage applications, then moved ROM manager to the internal card. Apparently it got transferred somehow through screwing around earlier with the phone. Don't know if that helps, but I couldn't find anyone who had the same issue, just got lucky...good luck.
So basically what happened here was things went wrong. And I accidently Unrooted my phone The Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant
Which is running GingerR2 on 2.2 I want to install another rom, but can't
I do have Clockworkmod recovery installed I got this phone second-handed so from what I tried there doesn't seem to be a backup
Is there a way to do this or instructions I can follow?
I have searched the forums and can't find anything really related to this and if there was something I apologize for not noticing.
Have tried Z4root it just closed itself after a certain period and phone didn't restart
Tried one click root
Even the option in the recovering for running the SD card won't root it
Thank you kindly for your answer
Just download the cw recovery update.zip and flash it in normal recovery (reinstall packages) twice on the second reinstall it will put u in cw recovery (green font) use it to flash a new rom because they all come rooted.
Any more questions email me cuz I don't get here too much anymore. I will PM u my email
Use AIO Vibrant tools on development area. Its a good tool, It does all you need on ur vibrant including rooting. That's what I am using.

Sprint Galaxy s2 i9000. Rooted it this afternoon and installed wrong version of Clockwork Mod Recovery. Did factory reset from Samsung menu, which trapped me in bootloop hell for a couple hours. Fixed that. Re-rooted device and re-installed Clockwork Mod. I get the yellow triangle. Rom Manager now tells me that I last flashed Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.2. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both Rom Manager and Superuser and done date wipes in application menu. ROM Manager can't find Superuser. Would like to get a ROM to work, at some point.
Cheers,
Mike
You do not need rom manger to make a rom work.
cwm has most of the functions of Rom Manager, which rom are you interested in.
The best advice for you right now is to sow down, do some reading, and go to the correct forum, I believe there is Sprint forum, flashing certain things is device specific and you have already made a wrong step being in the international Galaxy S2 forum instead of the Sprint SGS2 forum
I have a rooted samsung infuse 4g. I tried to follow the 3e video to get to clockwork mod recovery. When at the step to flash rom manager and reboot phone it reboots into recovery and bypasses the "check" and when i click "reinstall packages" i get the e: error about file no valid. I have tried to follow everything and do everything over again and still the same error. I don't know what I am supposed to do. I am so stuck with a rooted phone and no way to backup or put roms on without CWM.
It has been a day, I have viewed every possible thread on this topic I could find. I have no root problem, and no loading problems, only when I try to reinstall packages do I run into the e: error. I really dont want to go through odin if i dont need to.
I rooted with superone click, then put the modded 3e file in the system/bin directory, rebooted phone, and tried to reinstall packages but it doesn't work. I would love cwm on my phone so I could backup my stock rom. I have no way to backup currently.
Check out the super thread in the infuse section of the site. Huge how to section.

I got everything working now and have refuse 1.7 on my phone with a backup just incase. I want to know if I can use one of the roms that don't list as froyo? Will it just update me to the next update of 2.3 or does it ruin my phone because i am on 2.2.1?
So I finally got it all working, runny caty 1.5 rom right now. Seems pretty smooth. I can't wait to have ten posts so I can post about the bugs in the dev forum so they can be fixed in the nxt update. 2.3.6 is so smooth.
today i rooted for the first time..i was successful rooting my fascinate. as part of that process i flashed the cwm-recovery-all...i later installed ROM manager from the market and ran the ClockworkMod, which seemed to go ok..it installs cwm voodoo lagfix...i later read the ROM manager notoriously causes issues with fascinates..my question:
are these 2 cwm files different and does it matter? idk the difference btwn them..i have not flashed a custom rom, just rooted with superuser access running well it seems..
any help is appreciated..should i revert to the other cwm or is it not necessary..
also, first time custom ROM suggestions for a noob are appreciated.
thanks!
