Hi all,
I recently installed 'recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18178563&postcount=13) via 3e recovery, I copied the file to sdcard and renamed it to update.zip.
install went fine, pressed power and home button gets stuck on samsung wih website logo.
restarted the phone using power button and boots fine to its desktop. Thinking since cwm5 has been installed properly, I knew there would be an icon on apps drawer, run from clockwork recovery, now the phone is more officially stucked on the samsung logo i mentioned above.
any workarounds?
by the way, i just want to update from froyo to gingerbread at least.
thanks in advance.
by reading your post i assume your still on froyo.
so havent u read properly? the cwm 5.x is only for gingerbread. and if u want to upgrade from froyo to gingerbread, cwm wont do u any good either. use odin instead to flash to stock gingerbread rom
If ur in froyo upgrade to gingerbread using Odin .. then install clockwork mod :thumbup:

Thank you!!!!
I will give it a shot right now and I'll let you know how it goes
(THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!)
Ok
So odin flashed and i'm back to 2.1 BUT even after installing clockwork, flashing clockwork recovery & rebooting into recovery (& reinstalling packages many times) it doesnt load to clockwork, just stock recovery manager
any ideas?
WEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Ok for anyone else in my situation do NOT use one click. use the update.zip method to unlock.
Run Odin and flash it to stock 2.1, put update.zip on your internal flash memory
After that delete update.zip, install clockwork & do your thing!
I am trying to put Clockwork Recovery on the Vibrant and when I first boot it I need to manually select "reinstall packages". I usually have to do this two times in a row and then it boots into the cw recovery. But when I reboot into the recovery it boots back into the samsung recovery and I have to select "reinstall packages" again to get into cw. This isn't normal correct? I saw that I should only have to do this once and then it should boot into cw recovery everytime with no problems. The phone came with 2.2 stock.
In my experience with stock roms, i have to hit re-install packages twice to go to clockwork recovery.
Well what I am wondering is do you have to do that everytime you want to go into the recovery? Also could that possibly affect the phone to where I would not be able to restore it back to factory if something were to go wrong if I flashed a new ROM?
i assume you have rom manager right? You can do select reboot into recovery so that it will bring you straight to clockwork mod recovery. Also there's an app called "quick boot", that can make you go to recovery or download mode faster.
And no that won't affect anything when you want to flash another rom.
Your fine. Recovery will not effect going to back to stock because odin overrides all. Like the other guy said when your using a stock rooted rom you almost always have to hit it twice. Flash a custom rom and it will always go into recovery with out a hitch.

Ok, thank you for your help. I didn't know if it was having a problem or something.
Sorry for the bump, but I didnt want to start a new thread.
I'm having this same problem, but reinstalling the packages isnt working. I've done it 3 or 4 times

This should help you out.
Thanks for the link. I decided it is probably a better idea just to get a new kernal. My vibrant has andriod 2.1.1 right now. I read elsewhere that custom kernals come with clockwork recovery, plus that would eliminate any problems with my current kernal and the 2.2.1 ROM I am about to flash... Right?
Just need a guide for it.
Edit: I'm trying this. How long is it supposed to take?
Edit2: it failed when it trys to stop the adb server.
yesterday iwasaperson was extremely helpful to me. Thanks. I took my fascinate back to stock 2.1 and allowed it to update to 2.2. I then rooted my phone by flashing CWM recovery using ODIN. (red version) I had installed two files to root of drive one update.zip and the other for rooting the phone Su-----.zip. I ran them using the red version and restarted the phone. The phone is now rooted but I can't get back to CWM recovery.
I tried the following: I have ROM manager and flashed CWM but it wom't take. If I try to go into recovery I get the stock Samsung blue menu. I am thinking I need a different (CWM recovery comptabile) kernel or mod to get this to work.
Can someone help?
Reflash cwm, boot directly into recovery mode, and flash your custom kernel. The stock kernel tends to block access to cwm.

Hi,
I'm currently using Samsung Vibrant (t-mo version) running Firmware 2.2, Baseband version T959UVKB5, Kernel 2.6.32.9.
My problem is I can never boot into ClockWorks Recovery. I've CWR's update.zip downloaded using ROM Manager. Rooted the phone using SuperOneClick.
When I boot into recovery and select apply update.zip, it gives me an error half way thruogh about verification failed.
So I replaced Android Recovery 3e, with another Android Recovery 3e which skips the verification. It installs fine but restarts back in Android's recovery. On rebooting I get a phone with everything back to default!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
PS: I want to upgrade to CM7. which I had at one point but reverted because my bluetooth failed to connect to my headset.
Are you reinstalling packages twice?
Honestly, why not just odin to jfd and rather than boot and flash cwr, just use the update.zip in the noob guide.
I'd encourage checking that route (noob guide is in my signature).
I'm certain we could find a way for yours to work, but if you are going to try a new rom, using ODIN may benefit you anyway. It will not format your internal or external.
cant get or find cwr for samsung vib s.. been looking all night
go to the noob guide.
I am on Samsung Vibrant Froyo 2.2 T959UVKB5.
I have seen your post and it provides 2 update.zip files for JFD.
I do not want to install custom ROM, I just want to root the phone.
will that update.zip work on my phone?
If all you're doing is rooting just for the root apps and not for a custom rom you should use zip A. However the easiest method for you to root would be superoneclick root. Look it up, it will have you rooted with the click of a button (hence the name)... The only thing is that it may stir up your anti-virus, even though it is safe...

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem going to gingerbread.
I'm currently on axura 2.3.12 (froyo 2.2) with stock kernel (the one that came with the rom).
And when i follow the instructions here to upgrade to gingerbread, it doesn't work. I've tried both methods and both doesn't work. The rom manager method doesn't even go into CWM, it just goes into regular recovery.
as for the recovery method, it will install, reboot, and get stuck in a boot loop.
the vibrant logo comes up, then the cyanogenmod, then it shows some installation terminal lines and reboots and starts this process over again.
I'm installing cm7 because I want to upgrade to ICS Passion
Thank You
Also, before this, I went through this whole big process of odin my phone back to jfd stock because of a mistake i made. After going to stock, the 3 button recovery mode method doesn't work anymore. I have to use adb reboot recovery to get into recovery when I was in stock.
Here's how to bypass the boot-looping issue:
N00B_IN_N33D said:
It should start flashing and then enter a bootloop (Vibrant [Splash Screen] > Galaxy S Cyanogen(MOD) > CWR > Repeat). After it does this loop a few times do a battery pull.
Reboot into recovery, which will now be blue (Hold both volume buttons and power. Release power once the Vibrant logo is up).
Go to “install zip from sd card”, select zip from sd...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...and then re-flash the rom.
You could just flash lidroid through odin then move on to passion from there its gingerbread and has the gb bootloader included
