[Q] Cant get Vibrant into Clockwork recovery - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a noob and cant get into clockwork recovery. First off I have updated to Official Froyo through Kies. I rooted through superonclick, downloaded titanium, got busybox off market and then it updated through titanium. Backed up apps and system data. Downloaded Rom manager it says i have clockwork 2.5.1.2. When i click to reboot into recovery and click reinstall packages it says
"E: failed to varifywhole-file signature"
"E:signature verification failed"
Installation aborted.
Please help i am so frustrated with this froyo and want Axura rom on my phone.
What am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance

This should help you...

Must be stupid, I used my pc to install via debugging it seemed to take but then when i reboot into recovery and reinstall packages still blue recovery. What am i doing wrong?
Edit: It took a REAL HOT MINUTE but, after lots of reading and looking around I found on another post to use titanium and delete slacker radio, then re-run installer from pc and reboot into recovery second time it worked perfect. The day is saved! Bionix-v Here I come!

Yea, in the link in my previous post is where i got the idea from. After some more reading I found post that said there wasn't enough room in the system folder. It actually said to delete slacker and amazon mp3, but just deleting slacker worked for me. After that rerun the e3 recovery via computer as stated here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423). When phone restarts you may have to go to rom manager and click into reboot into recovery again (maybe twice) but then you should see the green clockwork recovery screen. Also don't forget to back up apps with titanium first
let me know it it works.

whats up ou8, i read the link you sent, but i was lost on how to run "script " am sorry am a bit of a noob on all this but am a quick learner and i been reading tons of these forums but they sometimes leave me lost cause they have alot of different ways to do these things. Do i have to download something to run Script ?

Im definatley new to this stuff also..since Thursday...but anyways...once you plug ur phone into pc, with debugging clicked, open the zip file on ur pc and follow the instructions. It will run automatically, it may not take the first time just follow the recommended option. That's what I did and it worked great. Good luck

hey bro, i DL both files from the link you sent me. which one should I open ? the zip file that is 3e recovery or the update.zip file ? i have 2.2 rooted.

hey thanx for all the help. do you have any messangers ?

When in blue recovery, select "reinstall packages" ... then try to boot into clockwork recovery again... might take a couple of tries but that worked for me
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

This is what i did. I DL 3e recovery. Im opened it up on my pc, and the phone is plugged in with debugging. I opened up the "Install.bat" in the 3e recovery file, but it keeps saying " The system cannot find the path specified " when i run it. I then run the " Temp Root.exe " but it fails at the end of the steps. man i feel like this phone doesnt want to be played with

Man...
This sucks alot !!

Does anyone read this post daily ?

Rooted, had superuser access then lost it?

Rooted last night, superuser was working fine but this morning I lost all superuser access. Uninstalled SU and reinstalled it. Rom manager gained access but others won't. Now even when I try to flash CWM recovery it says "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". Any ideas?
you might have to look in this thread, and get the working SU that way

Thanks, I was reading over that a few minutes ago. I'll give it a try
Tried to flash that patch but I can't boot into recovery. It boots into the bootloader, I select recovery and it just goes back to the white bootloader screen. Am I missing something?
since su works with rom manager, press menu and clear cache and try to push clockwork back on your phone. also there is a option to wipe clockwork mod everytiem you update it. alot of people have success with that.

I did that, rebooted like 10 times trying to get into recovery and for some reason I know have su permissions again.... I dunno what happened.
But how do I get into cwm to install rom's and backup/restore? I keep getting the white bootloader screen for some reason.
Sorry, double post....

there is an option in rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery, but i edited my last post.. maybe you need to push clockwork again if it isnt going into recovery the manual way, might not be loading the files properly

Seems like something might have gotten messed up. Now I lost all su permissions again. lol. I probably should unroot and do the process over again. I've tried the option in rom manager but it takes me to the bootloader screen and when I select recovery it just takes me right back.
I also had this same exact problem. The reason was I had messed something up during the root process. What happened to me is I switched the RUU's around and ended up with the wrong one. My opinion would be to re-root using the original ADB method and make sure you are using the correct RUU. If you need assistance just PM me and I will guide you step through step to re-rooting your T-Bolt.

I thought for sure I used the right RUU files but it was late so I could have messed up. I would appreciate any help, I used the windows one click method. Not too familar with ADB but I have played with it a lil. PM me when ever you get a chance. Thanks bro.
Mad props to stedrocklp for all the help last night. The help that people give on this site is why it's the best.

[Q] Is my phone Bricked? Is there a Fix?

the last thing i did was open this app called ROM manager, and tried to backup my ROM i believe. It took me to the "android system recovery" menu, and i didnt really know what i was doing, so i selected "reinstall packages", and then "reboot system now", and then it reset my phone and now all it does it show the samsung vibrant screen, then I get a small vibration, followed by a pause, then a triple vibration. I am able to go back to the system recovery menu, and nothing different happens when i go to "reboot system now" I even deleted all user data! im kind of a noob, so i would appreciate if someone would help me out here. Thanks.

This AIO tool have everything in it JFD,Pit and Update
http://crescent-pc.com/androidpub/In...lbox 2.5.msi
On AIO click back to stock and read the instruction. That way u can go back in stock. Once your phone return in stock. Then next step click root your phone. Then next step flash custom rom. I recommend you to follow every step from AIO
Not to sound like a **** or anything; but next time you might wanna do a little research and reading before you actually do things to your phone since you "didn't really know what you were doing".
what do i put in Odin, for BOOTLOADER, PHONE, and CSC?
in the PIT i have the PIT.pit selected and in the PDA i have the PDA.tar selected but dont know what to select in them up there
Nvm! i got it, Thanks for the help! and im guessing i have to root it again? huh? xD

[Q] Rooted I717, constant reboots, no recovery, flashing stock ROM not working

I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

no need to go back to stock .
try reflashing whichever ROM you desire...
its always wise to follow every little STEP given by the DEV .
to wipe dav you go to advance and it should be there..

I have attempted to Flash ROMs I don't desire just to move forward. They all flash and pass in Odin but on reboot I still have my default screen. Unfortunately, I want to go back to stock. I have done plenty of research and need something more to push on to the next thing. I am looking at phone and there is not an Advanced option in recovery. I have read there are options in CWM but I am looking at what I believe is the stock recovery options.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.
sorry and good luck .

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.

I have the phone in Download mode
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnk6ekjqp9vddev/2012-06-19 19.40.01.jpg
I load the CWM Recovery in the PDA box. Start the flash, get a pass. All looks good to me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q4hayf35mm26wr/odin-success.PNG
I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d176blydonlvrlu/2012-06-19 20.13.42.jpg
I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash

CM9 help? PLEASE!

I have been trying since yesterday evening to install the CM9 nightly build. I've read through every single post in the thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778170 ) and I still can't seem to do it. I've flashed a few ROMs in the past with no issues, but for some reason this one is not making any sense. Maybe it's a good thing because I've learned so much and had my heart drop a few times thinking my phone is ruined. My issue seems to be with my version of CWM I guess? The first step of the instructions says to: 1. Install ClockworkMod Recovery for "quincyatt".
I don't understand this. I click on the link in the thread and the CWM file is a .img file, so I don't understand how to flash it to my phone. I've downloaded ROM manager (and paid for the premium version) and flashed the newest version through there. When I do that, it completely messes up CWM and keeps giving me errors anytime I try to install any ROM. It freezes on most things I do, keeps giving cache errors, etc. It seems like there's an issue with flashing the newest version through ROM manager. So how do I get CM9 on my phone? Do I need to update CWM someway? I currently have the version in the CWM thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576 ) with the latest release 04-14. If someone can please give me an explanation for what I'm missing here, that would help greatly. I've been on this forum for a few years and always read and search. I actually just made my first post yesterday to help someone when I was encountering the same issue with CWM that they were and finally figured it out after hours of reading.

Try using TWRP recovery. I believe it flashes successfully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
It is a zip not a. Img i just clicked it myself. Dont use the stock browser. Download dolphon browser hd. And click the link. The zip file you download is there. Flash it in cwm recovery. Easy easy stuff.
Download rom manager from the market. From within the app you can install CWM. This is what the post means.
Oops, sorry didn't read your whole post at first.
I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was purchase the touch recovery upgrade from within rom manager and that fixed my problems. If you have $2 to spare give it a shot. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I finally got it to work with TWRP. Now of course when it loads up everywhere I click I get an error saying 'Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped. :laugh: Here we go again.
Do what i said in my post above. Make sure to wipe data cache and dalvik cache in CWM recovery. Or dont listen and continue to enjoy the issues. Also dont use rom manager. Its more problems then its worth. Good luck
Thank you, I appreciate your help. Well I figured out how to get that error to stop. Now just need to figure out how to get all my contacts on here that were only saved on my SIM and I'll be good to go. This was a really good learning experience. I'm really liking TWRP
Do yourself a favor and put all contacts on your Gmail account. You can enter them on a PC quickly. Just be sure to always select your Gmail account to sync.
Another option is to use Titanium Back Up and restore the contacts once moving to a new ROM.

Thanks, I synced them all to Gmail. Much faster now! Finally got it all up and running. Just a question about using the 'touch key notification lights' Does this kill the battery? It seems like it stays on until you read your text, so if you get one while asleep those lights just stay on?
Use bln app from market and uncheck in system settings. You can set that to turn off whenever you'd like

[Solved] Yay another soft brick/bootloop!

Yes I have searched, yes I have tried google and yes I am still stuck...
I *think* I have tried just about everything and I have read through about 10 "soft brick" or "stuck on samsung screen after rooting on stock ICS" (and most combinations of) but nothing is working. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I just can't seem to get anywhere. Here's what happened.....
I googled rooting galaxy not after ICS update and found this http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
It was all I could find about rooting after the ICS OTA update, so I did it. Everything seemed fine. I had CW but no superuser so I DL it from the market as well as my old Titanium pro from back when I rooted my HTC. I rebooted my phone to get it all settled in and decided to run Titanium and get this party started. I got an error message that busybox was not installed so.... I installed it but when I clicked the app on my phone it said it would not install because I didn't have root access.... This is where the confusion starts to set in.
So I restarted to see if I could get into CW but when I rebooted the soft brick started.... I was stuck at the "samsung" screen.
I IMMEDIATELY ran to XDA and began my search. I can still get to DL mode, Odin and CW so I know there is hope. I tried the files listed in the "All in one guide for noobs" and the "Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717)".
There was a suggestion to use Kies but when I put in my serial # and model name i get the "galaxy note does not support initializing" message.
I'm not new to flashing/rooting, although things are a bit different, I have a basic understanding of the process but I ain't no Einstein either...
I also tried to flash the stock Telus ICS rom but I got an error message and my lil droid guy went belly up....
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my note and this is killing me...
I have to go to work so if I don't reply immediately its because I have no email access at work.... Especially without my Note....
The steps are correct in the link you gave.
Did Odin3 say success?
Did you get CWM installed?
Did you flash superuser?
Is there a superuser icon in your apps?
Ranger is on it....
I'm thinking we dont have CWM on the device....????
And no SU flash, from within the recovery that doesnt exist....g
He has cwm, he did not flash superuser, Looks like he assumed flashing cwm would automatically root him.
Since you can get into recovery... i would just go ahead and download a Rom zip, transfer to phone by mounting in cwm (mounts and storage if you didn't know) and flash that sumbitch
Oh yep...found that.......Thanks brother....g
That means do or redo steps 13 to 16 in the guide you posted.
agreed....g
im back...
Just got in, thanks for the replies.
Yes I have CWM and can access it. I have tried to flash the CM roms as well as the stock telus ICS rom but was denied at install. I got a "assert failed getprop (ro.build.device)" message and 2 other "ro." error messages when I install the cm nightly quincyatt rom.

Cant see my apps but when I first flashed CWM and was able to see my screen there was a SU app on my home screen because I DLed it from the market.
You need to update your CWM. Get it here:

Look right under the big green arrow in the first post of the thread.
Readreadread. Then thankbigjoethankbigjoe.
Of course, come back here if further assistance is needed or you solve the issue.
I thought I was on the latest. Someone else suggested that also, so I flashed the touch CWM Updated 04/14

Yup, thats the one I flashed, its working and I get a successful message when I flashed SU so I assume its there also. Any recommendations of a rom to try and flash? Still hanging at the samsung screen.....
I appreciate the help by the way, I know how frustrating it can be to try and help with tech situations from emails and messages (Hi Mom ).
Thanks has been pushed....
That assert error is in the script used by CWM to flash and it is saying 'wrong rom for your device'. So for sure you have the correct CWM and rom for your phone? Just checking because errors at this point make your phone useless.

I got my CWM from the link you posted but the rom I am iffy about. Any suggestions for a rom to try and flash? something stable?
EDIT: going to try and flash this rom and modem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801689
Downloading now..... Sloooooowly. lol
Holy McCrappy dance!
Okay... so I flashed the stock ATT with odin. just at start screen now.... Don't think it is rooted so now.... How do I get back to telus and root right the first time?
Edit: so it appears the ATT rom was a GB ver so I am assuming that I was somehow reverted to GB instead of my stock ICS. Now to try and flash a stock Telus GB rom, update then try to root.... AGAIN! Thank gawd I don't have a $600 paperweight now!
Thanks everyone
I recommend this rom:

Select the pure stock. There is no point in using the Telus rom.
Please read carefully. Good luck.
^^^ what ranger said. No point in repeating trust and go!

I would like my ota ICS back but I guess no bother huh? I am back on the stock telus GB and for some reason it wont let me update to ICS anyway.... LOL
Might as well root it up and go go go!
Thanks again Ranger.
WOW! that pure stock is a big ole file! lol
Ok, take it easy for a few days. Just read up and, now that you've survived the worst scenerio, you might want to try a more custom rom or other modifications. Pretty soon you will be pulling someone else's a$$ out of the fire. Good luck.
I think I'm okay now. Was a skeerty one though. Lol
