Ok some background I have i897 that i updated to the i9000 2.1 rom, then I updated to the i9000 2.2 froyo rom. Problem now is I cant downgrade back to i897 I have nandroid backup already done from the i897 when i restored that from the first i9000 2.1 rom it put everything back the same except for baseband which still ready gt i9000
I upgraded again to the froyo version, which I didnt really care for atm, I tried restoring again. I go into recovery mode and go to nandroid restore from back up and then it starts running and i get this error
e:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(device or resource busy)
cant mount /sdcard
cant wipe or anything or format get same error
clockwork mod itself seems to still be working other then that. and the phone itself still works fine.
is there a i897 stock rom that came with the phone for odin that i can flash back to? the ones I have tried are on samsung-firmware site and all d/l are down. Cant d/l any of them. Know of any possible work around for clockwork mod?
This is a joke right? Read the sticky named something like "Odin one click downloader"

Clockwork only flashes the system img. You need to odin the stock rom then you can use your nandroid to restore from there....

I can't seem to get my phone to boot at all with any ROM that's not in an odin package.
I installed CM6.1 on my captivate and it seems like whenever i try to flash any other ROM through clockwork, the phone freezes at the bootanimation and logcat spews out a loop of "I/dumpstate" over and over. i can't seem to get it to bot, and this is with any kernel (OC or not)
When flashed back to CM though, even through clockwork, it boots again, no problems. any clues guys?
Have you tried flashing back to stock and then flashing another rom with CWM?
yeah, i flashed JF6 and JI6 one click but no luck at all. i don't know what the problem could be.
Do you have the most current update.zip from CWM?

I was using the one from tayatuma's ROM, any chance you guys could upload a newer one for me?
I'm also trying to repartition with the 512 PIT and seeing if that'll help.

thanks man, I found one in Darkyy's thread though. I'mgonna try to wipe it as clear as possible to try and cover all bases.
Got my Captivate a few weeks ago (best phone ive ever had) and i instantly Updated it to 2.2. The problem i have came across now is that i see terms such as "JK3" and "JPU" when i want to install a theme and i was wondering how do i know if i have that. I dont remember what i used to get 2.2. Also DL ROM manager, click install Clockworkmod Recovery but i dont know if i have it, how would i know. When i go into mass storage and all my folder show up it has a clockworkmod folder with a recovery-update.zip in it. Copied that .zip to main folder area and renamed it update, put phone in recovery mode and put reinstall packages but it says E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed when i rename it i dont put .zip......Baseband Version: I897UCJI6, Build Number: FROYO.UCJI6
stock 2.2 leaked ROM has 3e recovery. You need 2e recovery. Go back to stock 2.1 using ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
will it delete everything?
update:should of opened up link before replying haha will something like Lookout or Titanium backup pics etc.. so it wont be deleted?
It won't wipe your sd card. Your pics and media on the card/internal storage will be fine. You will lose your apps, you can use titanium to back those up.

I don't think there is a simple way at least. ODIN is as simple as it gets. Just backup your apps using Titanium then ODIN right away.
would this be the one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and would i have to undo my root and uninstall my Oneclicklagfix V2+?

if you use the ODIN one click, you dont have to remove anything. it will remove it all for you
Well, i've been looking at themes to put on my official 2.2 Captivate and they all are saying to create a NAND backup first before doing anything. So i did some research and from what I can tell, you do this with CWM. My phone is rooted. I downloaded ROM manager, i flashed it, then i go and click "Make backup", the phone reboots and the blue system recovery menu comes up(3e, i'm not sure if that makes a difference) and I click "reinstall packages". It goes through finding update package, opening, verifying, and then it says:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

I'm then right back at the recovery menu.
I'm not too sure what I should do from here.
Help would be great, thanks

It's because 2.2 uses 3e recovery which is not compatible with CWM. If you wish, you could theme 2.1 stock I guess, but a better solution is a custom ROM with themes

Alright. Thanks.
Is there currently a solution being worked on to make CWM work on 2.2? Or, is there another option to make a NAND backup on 2.2 other than CWM.
I'd rather not go back down to 2.1. I saw that some ROMs are already made for 2.2 like Cog 4 and Serendipity(But, you also should make a backup before flashing, lol. Which leads back into my earlier question in this post if there are any other solutions than CWM for 2.2). I probably will end up putting a custom ROM on my Captivate, but if it's just a matter of waiting a little while until development for 2.2 Captivate gets going, then i'll just wait.

Worked perfectly It's performing a backup as we speak.
I also have this problem in my SGS2.
I root it then downloaded ROM Manager pressed the Flash CWN recovery, chose the SGS2 option and then it automatically download CWN 4.0.1.5, then, after doing that, every time I try to reboot into Recovery it show my the signature fail error.
I got 2.3.3.

I've followed the instructions for installing speedmod kernel here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
I installed the samsung usb drives, Odin was able to see the phone, and..yeah, did everything it said.
Installation takes less than five seconds, my phone reboots, then sits on the screen that says "Galaxy S SGH-I897" and never gets past that.
I know speedmod was installed for the most part, because when I go into recovery mode I now see options for both clockwork and speedmod. I also tried using a recovery image to get back to where I was before, but I get this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st19 to /system with parameters auto llw.check=no
(File exists)
Can't mount /system/!
Any ideas?
I tried flashing many different versions of the speedmod kernel, but all of them result in the same problem.
Thanks.
EDIT: changed "motorola" to "samsung"

I originally used Odin without the drivers, but when I read closer, I read that I needed a Samsung USB driver. So installed that and got no different behavior from Odin or the installation of the kernel.

CyanogenMod. I don't remember which version, but definitely CM7 from last week.

I am able to boot into recovery mode that ClockworkMod originally made. I think I mentioned in my first post that I see that SpeedMod has made an extra selection item in it, but recovery mode cannot recover anything.
In addition, I have tried wiping all the cache, but that also didn't effect anything.
I also have no idea how much battery life I have left, and how I can charge my phone without it (potentially) burning out the screen.
Thanks for the help.
That kernel will never work with cm7. Several issues but most of all it can not handle the system partition. you should be able to flash the rom again if you can get into recovery, or flash stock start over
Sent from my I897 using XDA Premium App
Alright. I'm able to get into recovery, which I assume means I can load up another CyanogenMod onto the SD card and hopefully be able to install it (the "cannot mount /system/" kinda worries me about that part). If I have to wipe everything and revert back to stock, that is perfectly fine...I have another phone that I can use in the meantime.
Thanks a lot for the help.
I should ask this now, which roms do support speedmod? Or should I look for another kernel (again, I'm pretty knew, I only know of these things from some people I know, but clearly there are a lot of options).
Cm7 kernels
Glitch
platypus
Kernel de jour
Speed mode is froyo

Any Froyo ROM if you want a GB rom check out the I9000 roms. (combine those with the talon kernal)
The reason speedmod wont work it that CM7 runs off of yaffs2 and speedmod runs off of ext4/rfs and, well, you should see the problem with that
And to fix it you will have to use either the JF6 or the haikaidos flash back to stock package.
So you can repartition.
Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.
