just recently got a samsung captivate. rooted it. downloaded rom manager....put a custom rom into the sd card....pushed flash clockwork mod recoevery then pushed install rom from sd card but it says " you must have clockwork mod recoevery installed before continuing"....nothing seems to change this..
if i click reboot into recoevery..it gives me an option to restart now, reinstall packages and a third option..i click reinstall packages and it just restarts the phone...it doesnt go into the clockwork recovery. what can i do?
and when i clock flash clockwork it doesnt give me the option to choose what phone im using or anything...i checked superuser permissions and rom manager is one of the progs listed
Try installing busy box app from market and open, click install busy box.
Steps for clockwork are
Open rom manager
Click top option
Select captivate
Once it its completed go to my files. Look for a file on your sd that says update. If it is there then it worked.
Go into recovery, select reinstall packages, first time will boot back to same screen, click reinstall packages, second boot will bring you to clock work recovery, green letters.

I'm having this exact same problem. I followed those instructions and rebooted the phone after installing busybox but still nothing happens when I hit flash clockworkrecovery mod in Rom manager
Ok. Another solution is to just download the update.zip boot into recovery and reinstall packages. I am pretty sure on the first page of the axura thread in captivate development, if you scroll to the bottom of the faq, there is a download for this. Give that a shot

Do you have 3 button recovery?
If you do, dont bother installing, ROM Manager, you wont need it. Just copy the ROM and CWM's update.zip to your phone, 3 button into recovery select reinstall packages, you'll then "go back", reinstall packages again, then you reboot into recovery, and install your ROM
Where can i get that

Okay. So, you were running Paragon, you flashed Phoenix, and you want to go back to Paragon.
Hopefully you made a backup of your ROM before you flashed Phoenix. You then used Odin to flash to stock, rooted, and installed ROM manager.
If you flashed back to UCJF6 (Android 2.1) you won't be able to restore a backup based on Froyo 2.2.1, which is what Paragon is based on. That's why you're getting an error. You're going to need to do a fresh flash of Paragon. Place the base Paragon ROM on your SD card.
Use ROM Manager to flash the base Paragon ROM. Now, on the base Paragon ROM, use ROM Manager to restore your backup.
I'm hoping you did everything one should do prior to returning to stock with Odin, as in creating your backup, disabling your lagfix, etc, before using Odin to get back to stock. Also, take into account that you need to have the same kernel installed on the newly flashed ROM and the ROM you're attempting to reinstall. So, if you had a custom kernel installed when you made your backup of Paragon, make sure to flash that kernel on your newly installed base Paragon before you try to restore.
Good luck.

I'm having a problem with rom manager as well.i get the error downloading recovery. I may try to flash an older version I have on my laptop. I'm using the stock rom and rooted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I too am having a similar problem, I'm on stock and trying to get ROM manager to work but it won't let me flash ClockworkMod Recovery or even an older version. As stated already I get the error message "An error occurred while downloading your recovery." However, it seems that if I select my phone as an i9000 Galaxy S, ClockworkMod will download, but it won't work.
And for the record, using the 3-button recovery I only get the options of:
reboot phone
reinstall packages (which says the update.zip is a bad file and won't open)
delete all user data
delete cache data
I should add that this is the first time I've seen this situation and usually I'm able to "install .zip from sd card" but in this case I can't.

My apologies. I should have read your original post a little closer.
You can try installing clockwork recovery manually via this method:
Take the attached zip file and rename it update.zip. Connect your phone via USB to your computer. You'll notice there's already an update.zip file on your phone. That's the update.zip which was used to give you root permission. Take the newly named update.zip file (clockworkmod) and replace the update.zip (root) on your phone's sd card.
Now, disconnect your phone from your computer, and power down your phone. Press the volume up AND volume down button at the same time, then hold down power. Keep holding all three buttons down. The ATT screen should pop up once, but keep holding down the buttons. The ATT screen will pop up again, and now, you can let go. This should get you to the stock recovery screen. Use your volume down button to scroll down "reinstall packages". Use the power button to select the option. This will install clockworkmod on your phone. Now, it'll come back to the same stock recovery screen. Tick down once again to "reinstall packages" until clockworkmod pops up.
I'm not sure if ROM manager will work with this version of clockworkmod, as I stopped using ROM manager a while ago. I just reboot into recovery manually and navigate clockworkmod with phone's physical buttons. I guess you can give it a go.
If this doesn't work, something might have happened with with the odin flash, or a lagfix wasn't disabled prior to going back to stock, or Dalvik cache wasn't wiped, or your cache partition wasn't wiped, etc, and you might be out of luck.
When I want to flash a ROM, I always make a backup, copy the backup onto my computer, backup my apps with Titanium Backup, copy that backup onto my computer, disable any lagfixes, flash to stock using ODIN, master clear, root, install clockworkmod, copy the new ROM zip file to my SD card, do a factory reset in clockworkmod, wipe cache partition in clockworkmod, and wipe Dalvik cache in clockworkmod, then install my new ROM.
I've never had any problems using those steps. Good luck.

I had 2 1 eclair on my samsung captivate i897 and i installed froyo 2 2 using odin one click installer.
I want to use cognition. where i rooted my captivate using the one click root unroot software for froyo 2 2 and installed clockworks mod.
but when i follow the instructions and try to install the new rom (Cognition V4) it says Signature verification failed
my current baseband I897UCJI6
kernel version - 2 6 32 9 jetaek lee sep-11 #1
build number FROYO.UCJI6
Right now I think the best thing to do is to re-flash your phone with Odin to 2.1, then master reset with Odin. After that, root your phone following every step (of you've done it properly, you'll jave a 'Super User' icon on your menu/app screen) go to the market and download Rom Manager. Run it and select clockwork mod for galaxy s captivate. Put your cognition 4 zip file into your phone and then reboot into recovery mode (second option in Rom Manager). Click in install files from zip (I think this is it) and then choose your zip file. If you don't have this option then click on reinstall packages and the phone will restart with the 'install from zip file' option. That's pretty much it"

The phone always was back to the screen with the yellow exclamation inside the white triangle. If I use VOlume + Up button, it will appear the recoeveries with four options: reboot system, wipe data/factory reset, apply update.zip and wipre card partition with the info: E:cannot open cach/recoveries/command. I did try to apply updated.zip but it failed and say that it cannot verify the signature and installation aborted.
Could you please help? Thanks

Dude, ROM Manager does NOT work on Milestone. You need to flash a Vulnerable Recovery using RSD Lite, install Androidiani Open Recovery, go from there:

Thanks, dude. In the list of ClcokwordMOd, i find out there is a row for Milestone. Click on it, I also am able to download a file of Recoveries which is specific for milestone. But it does not work.
One thing I would like to raise here is that after i cannot use update.zip any more. Cuold you please explain why? It also says "cannot verify signature"
Thanks
Because your phone does not have the vulnerable recovery installed. Look at the link I posted. It has everything you need to get up and running. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

I did do as your instruction. But as i did the backup, it is stuck. the phone went to "system:dumping..." and stayed there in one hour.

The Milestone mentioned in ROM Manager / clockworkmod is probably the Alltel Milestone, which in reality is a droid 1.
Now that you have installed cwm, you have to remove it from your phone and then install Androidiani openrecovery. Before that you need to install vulnerable recovery from here using rsdlite.
Note that it may take more than one try to get cwm out of the system.

What did you end up doing after it hung for an hour? Because if you haven't flashed a custom ROM, you should still be able to boot (rooted) and you can try the Nandroid backup again.

I take the batterry out of the phone and restart it again. It works normally but the backup is not done because i do not find out the backup under Openrecoveries folder. I did try the second time but it happed again and i had to take the battery out of the phone and restart.
please help
I actually had the same mistake as you before (using ROM Manager on our Milestone).
I recommend this:
1. Backup your SD card content
2. Reformat your SD (slow format)
3. Place the AOR 3.3 (Androidiani Open Recovery) files back in (use a fresh download if possible)
4. Perform Nandroid backup again
Note that there will be no "backup" content in your OR folder. Instead, you will see a new "nandroid" folder in your sd root.
Thanks dude. I find out the solution. I wipe all data + cache, then I download a fresh recoveries and then i did the backup again. It works well.

You should not use ROM Manager to do the backup or flash for Milestone. please use Open Recovery 3.3. Download it and please delete CWM folder also. Please wipe data/facotry reset for doing backup or flash. (IMPORTANT). It will work.
Hi Everybody,
I have been installing the nightly CM7 ROM updates on my phone for a while, no problem, and had several different ROMs before that.
My mom also has a Captivate and I finally got around to trying to install a ROM for her.
I followed all the pre install instructions correctly (root, flash Recovery 2.x, Captivate MTD etc) but when I tried downloading and actually intalling the ROM, when it booted into recovery, it didnt do anything. It was just the standard recovery menu. Usually it automatically backs up the current ROM and then proceeds to install.
I didn't go from stock on my phone to the CM7 ROM, so I was thinking of trying another ROM before going to CM7.
Any other ideas before I do that, since I know its usually better to upgrade from stock?
Thanks!
You remembered to install clockwork mod right?

In the ROM Manager App, I clicked the button that said "flash Clockwork Mod Recovery" and chose the options that the instructions detailed.
If thats what you are talking about then yes. If not, then if you can direct me to a guide on where to get it/how to install it that would be great.
Thanks!

You have to go to the samsung recovery and press install packages twice after hitting "flash clock work mod recovery" in rom manager, that will boot you into cwm

As you can tell by my post count, I'm wet behind the ears and have that new car smell.
My first time modding/flashing/romming a phone. I've had the Galaxy for over a year. Updated to Froyo using Kies, but it just won't work (Kies) to get me up to Gingerbread. Decided I'd try a mod rom instead. This phone has been nothing but a pain in the ass for any updates/fixes.
*#1234# shows:
PDA: I9000UGJL2
PHONE: I9000UGJL2
CSC: I9000BMCJL2
Build Info: 2010. 12
Anyway, I have rooted the phone and installed RomManager in hopes of a simple solution to get CyanogenMod on here. I'm in Canada, so I'm assuming I have a Galaxy S I9000M. My carrier is SaskTel. I've got all my apps backed up via Titanium Backup.
I selected "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" in RomManager(v4.4.0.7). This takes me to a menu to confirm the Phone Model. I choose "GalaxyS i9000(MTD)" I get a message about "... does not have an officially supported CMR yet..." I select "Yes" and choose CWM 2.x. It tells me "ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation." [can't link images yet, see attachments]
I "Download ROM" in ROMManager. Choose "CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1". Also select the "Google apps". It finishes downloading, asks to backup current rom, wipe data, etc... I check off all the boxes. The phone reboots and goes into recovery mode... I think... and I see this:
E:Can't open /cache/update.zip (bad)
Installation aborted.
There is no update.zip anywhere on my internal or external sd.
Little help? Anyone?
Don't panic. Go back into ROM manager. Do all that again but this time choose the latest Clockwork Mod option it gives you. Not 2...either 3 or 4.
Then do the flash again.

Chose 3.x and still the same thing.
Check again, it should be in your /sdcard directory. If you find it, delete it and flash recovery from ROM manager.
If not, what kernel are you using?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
No update.zip on the phone in any directory. (images attached)
Kernel is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3 (image attached also).
Thanks for your help so far.

Nah, fate is not so cruel.
Download the Speedmod kernel for froyo, and flash it via Odin.
Then do the recovery thing from ROM manager again.
If there is still no update there, search in XDA for update.zip, choose the right one for 2.2 and put it on your SD card manually....THEN FLASH CM7.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Ok, flashed the new kernel.... after a moment of panic when it just sat there and did nothing for about 10 minutes. I pulled the battery, went back into download mode, plugged it in and hit Start in Odin and it finished in a few seconds. Whew!
Still no love flashing CWM and trying to do CM7. No update.zip. Now on the hunt for the "latest" of that file. This could be fun.
Well, now the fun begins. I downloaded an update.zip and it still wouldn't work. I booted into recovery from ROMManager and eventually drilled down to install from sdcard and chose the CM7 I'd downloaded a while back. Held my breath, scrolled down to the "yes, do it", and clicked. And whaddia know! CM7 is installed!! Did the same thing for the Google Apps and it looks like that installed ok too since I'm ripping things outta the market. Now to get Titanium backup and try to restore some of my other apps! This is fun!
But now market is doing a Force Close when I look for Titanium. Should I boot back into recovery and wipe all data?
Edit: bah.... didn't want to wait. did a wipe/factory reset. more playing to follow....
simple extract it and make it zip again :laugh: if it not work download it again
