Hello all, I want to install Clockworkmod on my Samsung Vibrant T959 so I can install a custom ICS ROM. I ran into some problems along the way. I can not seem to install CWM correctly. I had the phone under Froyo 2.2, kernel version 2.6.32.9, and build number froyo.uvkb5. After flashing the recovery by ROM Manager, I would still be stuck at the stock recovery. I have the correct files to download:update.zip. After clicking on "reinstall packages", the recovery said "replacing stock recovery with Clockworkmod recovery". The problem is that after that message, the phone restarts into the stock recovery. I tried it 4 times in a row, but I'm still stuck at the stock recovery. The system keeps saying that it will replace the stock recovery with the CWM recovery, but that did not happen with me. I would keep getting the same message when I click on "re install package". What am I missing that does not allow me to do this? Thanks all.
Are you on 2.1 eclair or 2.2 froyo?
I'm pretty sure you need to be on 2.1 but don't quote me.
Also, I believe there is an issue with the newer versions of ROM manager, recovery mismatch. (Again don't quote)
I haven't had to mess with that stuff in a long time. Either way I'm posting a link that will help you along. If you have any more questions just shoot.

Thanks for the reply. Like I said in my last post, I am running at Froyo 2.2. I already bricked my phone for failing to downgrade to 2.1. I already rooted my phone, my problem is that I could not install CWM correctly by the stock rom. After the message states that it is replacing the stock rom, my phone goes back to stock with no changes.
woodrube has some great guides, I use the update.zip method, rom manager didnt like my phone, post if you still have problems and Ill give you more accurate directions on guides.This is probably heresy, but i never could get rom manager, even pro to do what I wanted,and Im sure it was me.
Your positive you dont have a 4g?

You do not understand, I am having the problem that CWM could not install properly. When I chose "install packages" the steps went by and ended with "Replacing stock recovery with CWM recovery". Usually, that would jump straight into CWM recovery after it's installed. That did not happen to me, After installation, my phone restarted and booted back into stock recovery. I tried installing again but I always go back to stock recovery and not Clockworkmod recovery as I planned.
Ive never seen that error message, I know its frustrating, but the t959v 4g comes loaded with Froyo 2.2,the a 2.1 eclair odin will brick it.Just trying to help.
Go back to 2.1, uninstall ROM manager, use the update zip in the guide link I posted.

In the link I sent is the AIO toolbox download. There is a guide how to use it in this link. The DL links are dead in this one so get from previous.

IIRC the update.zip method does not work in Stock 2.2 because of the 2e and 3e recovery mismatch. If you to go to 2.1 Eclair, then you can use the update.zip method and then flash your ROM of choice after that. If you decide to stay on 2.2, you'll have to get the 3e method. It is in the Development section, so you'll just have to search 3e and it should come right up.
All this is provided you have a T959 (3g) and not a T959v (4g). Sorry but lately there have been many 4g users flashing our ROMs and then freaking out.
You can also find a bunch of files in my Repo thread stickied in the Dev section.

The first thing you need to do after obtaining root is flash a kernel. You can't install a rom from re-install packages. That has to be done in a custom recovery, which is built into the kernel. Easiest way to do that is download a kernel and flash it with sgs kernel flasher. I would suggest immortality kernel. After that you can go into the custom recovery and flash your rom of choice.

If you have the proper xda version of update zip on your sd...,, theres no need for a kernel flash.
I have the same exact issue as the original poster. 2.2 froyo and all. I even replaced my stock 3e recovery with the modded one, but I get the same issue. Says its flashing CW recovery but it always reboots and comes back with the stock recovery. What exactly are we doing wrong?
Follow steps in this guide, update.zip b is probably best but you need to Odin back to stock first.

Alright so I managed to get CWM on my 2.2 Stock Vibrant and even got it permanently. What I did was download SGS Kernel Flasher and install it. Then I went the Samsung Vibrant Kernel Bible and found the stock kernel with Voodoo lagfix included that matched my phone (because the kernel has CWM built in) downloaded it, and placed it on the root of my card. Launched the app, backed up my current kernel and then flashed the new one. Everything went smooth and then my phone rebooted and was stuck on the Vibrant screen for 20 minutes. I was pretty sure I messed my phone up. Also it was talking to me which I didn't realize at first, because I was expecting my phone to be talking to me! Finally made out what it said and it said something along the lines of not enough space on the partition, closing... It was hard to understand because it was in a robotic voice. It eventually rebooted and loaded up like normal. Checked the about phone but saw nothing different. So I decided to reboot to recovery just to check and sure enough, CWM 2.5.1.3 comes up, and comes up every time Finally, now to figure out what to do to get on a jellybean ROM
When I say Odin to stock that's 2.1 eclair. Voodoo lagfix will cause issues going to a JB ROM.
You don't need to try and re-invent the wheel.
Odin to stock 2.1 eclair JFD.
Put ROM on sdcard
Go to recovery, install update.zip from guide I linked.
Wipe and flash ROM.
It can't get much easier. I am not trying to come off as a ****, only to help you, and avoid future issues.
BTW, I saw your pm, I can't reply because it keeps crashing the app. If you go in and disable voodoo lagfix you should be able to flash PA without issue. It will take 3 flashes. You only need to wipe before the first flash. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory/data and format system in mounts and storage. If you get in a boot loop, pull battery then use button combo back to recovery. GB boots are not required.

QFT. Just yesterday I ran into the same problem as reported by the OP and a few others. I HAD to downgrade to 2.1 via JFD Odin. Then flash the update.zip. I then just downloaded ROM Manager to get CWM working. However, I did see in some instructions that sometimes even though you know you have CWM installed, it will still default to stock recover. I simply applied the update.zip again and it eventually fixed itself. Not sure what that was about, but I did see it in some instructions, and I experienced it as well.

This is my first time flashing a new ROM. I decided to go with the stock Froyo ROM. And that went pretty smoothly.
I did the Titantium Backup to restore some of the apps I wanted back. However some settings didn't seem to come over, even though I selected to backup app and system settings. Examples included my phone contacts and my WinAmp playlists (songs are still there).
Anyway, that isn't so much the reason for this topic though. I did a Nandroid backup before and decided to do a restore of that backup. I initiated it from the Rom Manager and got into the Clockwork Recovery and saw it restoring. All appeared fine.
But when the phone rebooted, it is now stuck at the "Vibrant" screen. Has been stuck there for 15-20 minutes now.
I've been looking around. Is the problem because I went from 2.2 back to a 2.1 backup?
Hahaha I had that problem a few days ago, just flash back to stock with odin. Best to try a different rom....

Starting to think the phone might be bricked. Can't get into recovery mode or download mode. Always immediately comes back to the Vibrant screen. Pulled the battery. Didn't help.
Did you try holding down the volume buttons while putting the battery back in? Had a bit of a brick yesterday and that put it straight into download mode without even showing the vibrant logo.

You were trying to load a 2.1 nandroid restore onto a 2.2 kernal. Nandroid does not restore the kernal so you would have to install one separate from the nandoid if you want to try it again.
in order to restore your nandroid backup you would have to first flash a 2.1 ROM, preferably the one you are restoring from, whenever I am changing versions, 2.2 to 2.1, I always Odin back to JFD and build up from there.
Kernel flashing questions
I have flashed numerous roms but have never flashed just the kernel. Do you flash it just like you would any zip file? Can I use CWM to flash using the flash rom from sd card method? If I decide to not use the kernel I just flashed can I just flash the rom over it(assuming it has its own kernel)? Sorry for all of the questions I have researched it and still do not have a clear enough understanding to try to flash a kernel at this point in time. Any and all help is absolutely appreciated.

Thanks button right next to the quote >.<
I'm used to the quote being on the left.
Anyway, you can flash just the kernel. Check the Development section. There are some out there (Eugene has a bunch as do others). Depending on how they packaged the kernel, you would either flash with CWM or through Odin. The different ROMs typically come with the kernel, so you could just flash a 2.1 ROM and then nandroid back to what you had, or flash just the kernel, then nandroid.
I'm not new to rooting, i used to have a rooted Evo. But all this DL09, EB01, stuff for the fascinate is getting confusing.
When i rooted my fascinate the first time i flashed a DL30 rom and my phone semi-bricked, it just hung at the samsung logo (i think the problem was i had the DL09 modem???). I had orange CWM but to get into it i had to go through stock blue recovery and apply update.zip every time. after i flashed the DL30 rom blue recovery wouldnt flash the update.zip, it said validation failed.
So i used odin to flash DJ01 stock, then the EB01 all in one root/recovery/SC 2.9, and then i flashed the red CWM-all. I no longer have blue recovery at all, which i think is good.
But now my problem is im afraid to flash a new rom. Since i no longer have to go through blue recovery to get to CWM i should be ok to flash anything right? If i mess it up so bad that it wont boot into the OS i should still be able to get into recovery and restore my backup regardless of what i flash through CWM right?
Also, on a related note. I have a theme for EB01 that i like (Im on SC 2.9 now). if i flash SC 2.9.2, then a new kernel, will my theme that worked on SC 2.9 still work on 2.9.2?
What I recommend is starting off getting an EB01 base.
Start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029436
After you Odin stock EB01/repartition, new recovery, radio, kernel of your choosing (make sure to enable voodoo lagfix if choosing a voodoo kernel)
For a rom I would download the debloated EC01 Rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035420
From there flash a theme of your choosing, make sure to wipe cache/Dalvik before installing a new theme.
Just make sure to reboot after everything flash.

Fyi, EC01 is the newest. Also you can also wait till Monday as its rumored that Froyo will finally be released. From my reading it could most likely happen next week.

That is not the question i asked. Im asking if its safe to flash any rom/kernel/theme now that i have red CWM. When i had orange CWM and had to go through blue recovery to get to it i hosed my system partition, couldnt get to CWM, and had to flash back to stock through odin.
So just to clarify. Is it safe to flash whatever i want now that i have red CWM?
Yes you should be ok. I flashed over twenty different themes thru CWM red. Just don't forget to wipe before.

Just a heads up Sonic. He also posted this question over in the themes section so he may be getting confused trying to switch back and forth and possibly getting different answers between the two threads. Just don't want you to waste your time of giving him the correct advice like you are doing, and have it go for naught.
i just got my phone running ED01 today and it unrooted my phone. i rerooted it and all that jazz but my question is this...
i can't reboot into cwm recovery?
it just reboots me back into stock recovery.
do i download the latest cwm, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and problem solved?
Put a new kernel on your sd card. As soon as you finish rooting, boot immediately into cwr and flash the kernel. If you let the phone boot before you do this, the stock kernel overwrites the recovery.
This happened to me earlier today and had me pulling my hair out. Nemesis2all had the answer.
yes! YES! that was just what i needed.
thank.you.
Ughh. I am having a very similar problem and I have been trying to solve it for the past 4 hours with no luck. Could you please tell me what you did to resolve this?
I was on SC 2.9 with JT's TW voodoo kernel. I decided to go back to stock and start from scratch by flashing the DI01 all in one Odin package in Odin. (I disabled voodoo before doing this). Everything went smooth as butter. I then got the vzw prompt to OTA Froyo. I downloaded and installed it just fine. I then re-rooted. Now I am having a hard time trying to get CWM to flash/install. I flashed 'cwm-recovery-all' in odin. Odin says it was successful and reboots my phone. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes to the blue android 2e screen. I go to 'apply update.zip and thats when I keep getting errors.

First, grab a TW kernel, for example JT's TW voodoo kernel and place it on ur SD card. Next remove battery and enter download mode so u can Odin CWR. Once it's done u should see that it succeeded flashing CWR in Odin. Next reinstall battery and enter recovery mode by holding down both volume buttons and power button. Once u see the samsung logo, release and it should enter red CWR. Then flash the TW kernel and reboot. U should be golden. There's no update.zip file to worry about.
As mentioned on the previous post, the stock kernel overwrites CWR and defaults back to stock blue recovery. Good Luck...

Hey guys.
Using Samsung Galaxy S Froyo 2.2.1 I9000
Was installing CM7 today through CWM in Recovery Mode, at first it wouldn't work, threw me an error about signature verification, found it was because of 3e verification on zip files, so flashed the kernel with Odin to 2e.
After installing the kernel, ran the CM7 again and it ran fine, followed the instructions, wiped before installing CM7. The install looked like it ran fine, phone rebooted no problem, but it came back to a wiped Froyo still, didn't load CyanogenMod at all.
Anyway, there's no GMail app, and only Market, and Market wont let me add a Google account even if I say yes to the prompt. Looked round the SGS forums, didn't see anything like this.
I'm guessing I did something wrong, help someone?

I can only describe it as once I got to the step of rebooting the phone, it didn't load CyanogenMod, I was expecting the CM animation but I got my normal Froyo screen, does that make sense?
Probably a bad download. Delete the download and do it again. But just a word of advice...ROM's come with kernels, so if you flash a kernel first and then a ROM, you are going to lose the first one you flashed.
Thanks lowandbehold, one problem though.
I wiped the phone following the instructions, so I don't have ROM Manager anymore and can't open the Market, it asks me if I want to sign in with a Google account, I hit yes and nothing happens.
Ideas?
Sorry for double post, looks like I made some progress possibly.
Got the CM7 animation on boot, but doesn't go any further.
Got Clockworkmod recovery up though, flashed speedmod kernel, and CM7 initial kernel through ODIN.
Now in recovery mode when I go to install "update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip" I get an error about assert failed, error in the zip, status 7 and aborts.
Did you make a nandroid backup of the stock ROM before you flashed? If so, try to revert back to that. If you didnt make a backup, do a full wipe...wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and go into advanced and wipe the davlik cache. Then go to install zip from SD Card and select the CM7 zip. You should also check the md5 sum of the zip file to see if it matches up to make sure the download was good. You will be able to figure something out, as long as you can get into recovery and not getting crazy cache errors your phone should be 100% recoverable. Maybe even try something that is not CM7...just keep at it.
---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------
Also, standby on the kernel for now. Get CM7 up and running on the kernel it provides you with and then make a backup in CWM. Then you can try to change the kernel...if you have issues then you can just go to your CM7 backup.
Would the backup be a recovery-update.zip file in the \clockwordmod folder?

No, it's in recovery/backup on the clockword recovery screen.. personally, I like Amon Recovery a lot better than CM. Clockwork doesn't wipe the cache as well good luck! Hope you get it working

Thanks haha, went back and fixed it too. I don't have solid facts about it, but I have read in multiple threads that
1) People love Clockwork
2) People say Clockwork doesn't wipe the Dalvik cache thoroughly and sometimes causes boot loops (I've never had one)
I have had some problems with Clockwork personally. But, this is just my opinion. Also, Clockwork doesn't recognize some zips that I try to flash while Amon does. Anyway, it's all your opinion, whatever feels better to you.

i've tried flashing several roms using cwm and through rom manager. every time i get stuck on the the samsung screen after reboot, which takes about 30 seconds after initiating flash. i've never had a problem installing anything on my phones or my nook color. it's been nothing but a paper weight for the last year and it's going to the landfill if i can't figure it out soon.
Did you try to wipe data/factory reset/ wip cachd and wipe dalvik?

How much you wait? After I flashed the Galaxy Task 14 room earlier this day it took several minutes to load.
Certain ROMS require an older version of CWM, such as CM9. If that is the latest version you have installed it may not work. Maybe try using ODIN to flash the recommended version (you can easily find that in the CM9 Nightly threads or simply by searching around)?

gtab wifi, stock tw3.2., cwm 5.8.3.1
i've tried flashing several roms using cwm and through rom manager. every time i get stuck on the the samsung screen after reboot, which takes about 30 seconds after initiating flash. i've never had a problem installing anything on my phones or my nook color. it's been nothing but a paper weight for the last year and it's going to the landfill if i can't figure it out soon.

Can you link us to the CWM 5.8.3.1 recovery your using???
As far as I know this is the latest version of CWM http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2655 as of 6/30 and it's only 5.5.0.4.
As far as Googling is telling me...
1. It may be a touch recovery?
2. I couldn't find a many search returns that mentioned it being for Tab10.1s
3. The search returns I did find that mentioned Galaxy Tabs were in languages I don't read.
Just curious don't ya know...

my recovery is listed on the cwm site under rom manager. it's not touch
now i'm curious as to what version everyone else is using
okay. so i flashed 5.5.0.4 through odin then flashed aokp m4 plus gapps. all seemed to go well until boot time. i've been sitting at the samsung screen for a full 20 minutes now. i suppose my next course of action would be to revert to stock via odin and start the process over? i'd really like to use this thing but absolutely can't stand tw
you may have gotten a corrupt partition somewhere. I'd odin back to stock and start fresh. fwiw, I wouldn't trust ROM Manager for the latest recovery, it doesn't always have the correct file for your device. For example, for may particular phone Rom Manager had never worked properly and soft-bricks the phone every time.
Always check here on XDA for the proper recovery files for this device first.
that's all i needed to hear. now, can anyone point me in the direction of the file i need? my searches all point to S0ckM0nk3y's link which results in a 404 error
disregard my last post. i flashed sam's ics via odin. i'll play with it and try to like it. thank you sir
huh. still can't flash a custom rom...
Well, I don't know what I did but i was able to get MapleSyrup's CM10 preview to run. I'm happy for now
Are you doing a factory reset and wiping the cache in CWM before you flash? I always do that and then use titanium backup to restore my apps.
Also, what version of recovery are you using? I'm on CWM 5.5.0.4 which I've used to flash a couple of different roms, including the latest stock ICS from Toldo I think.
you can get it here and use ODIN to flash. Just make sure you download the correct version for your device:

i had the same problem. i flash stock ics rom for my 7510. at first it looks fine until i try to reboot my tab. it starts to hang at the bootscreen. i try to reflash the rom via recovery but fail. try to install nandroid backup and also fail. the last resort is to do clean flash from odin. this thing happened 5 times in 3 days. one time after i install all the apps and try to restart my tab then it happened again, stuck at bootcscreen.
