There is some issue of galaxy s i9000 not having a stock 2e recovery. so we ll have to install a 2e recovery from some where. How to do that..
Also, do we need to undo the one click lag fix before flashing a custom rom?
I ve rooted the phone by z4one click root, do i really need to do rooting again with the cf root (for 2e recovery as some say
will the backup done by rom manager able to save the game and browser data?

Depends. If you are using a lagfix (conversion to jfs for instance) and you are going for a ROM based on a Kernel that doesn't recognize this kind of File System, then you are probably gonna have some isuues.
By the way, no, you won't have to do any rooting again, since CF Root kernel is already rooted

Thanks. Hey i have rooted using the RyanZ Z4root. how to find out whether i will require to install the 2e recovery while using Rom manager for putting on the darky' Rom extreme.

OK, so you are on a root-ed device, without any lagfix on, right?
If that's true, then you have many ways of installing Darky's Rom even if you don't have recovery 2e.
You could use Darky's ROM Configurator (found on market),make your selections and then download this and install it, just like you would with ROM Manager.
My Recommendation:
You could also download an ODIN version of Darky's ROM - BASE ROM, so that you won't have to mess with recovery 3e, and then apply Darky's "FULL" ROM, through recovery 2e.
Once Darky's ROM is installed, recovery 3e will be replaced by 2e
By the way, if not sure about whether you have a lagfix activated or not, I suggest that you choose to install Speedmod's kernel, through Darky's ROM configurator.

CWM 2.5: How to upgrade to 3?

I currently have ClockworkMod 2.5 and am trying to upgrade to 3 to install CM&. I currently have Doc's ROM, if that makes any difference.
ROM Manager doesn't give me any options to update to v3.
The CM7 wiki has steps to update for non-rooted users, but I don't think I need to do that.
I am looking for a CWM download to install via Odin. Is this the simplest method?
I've searched this forum as well as the web, and I can't find anything related to the Vibrant.
Any tips would be appreciated...

Do you know that Vibrant has its special sub-forum?
Edit: Yours is Bell's Vibrant. Never mind then. Just flash speedmod kernel.

That's it... Flash a kernel that it has cwm... Isn't depending of the rom.

Have you tried using ROM Manager and selecting Flash Clockwork Recovery?
For me it asked me what phone I was using (select Galaxy S MTD if you want to use CM7) and then asked what version of CMW I wanted. Just choose CWM3.x there and you should be fine. It will tell you that your current phone isn't supported, blah blah, but ignore it.

I'm sure he's going to install CM7, not already installed. Just use speedmod kernel. There's no need for CWM 3. If you got CM7 installed, it's automatically CWM 3.

Actually it is not completely automatic, you still need to flash a CWM3 recovery from inside ROM Manager, otherwise you can't see CM7 Nightlies from ROM Manager.

Thanks all.
I was able to get CM7 on my Bell Galaxy S.
I did try the ROM Manager but I couldn't get it to update CWM. It would try to install from Android recovery 3e, not CWM.
After many loops of stock 2.3.3, Doc's ROM 2.2.1, CM7 Nightly 15, and other steps, I was able to manually flash the nightly 18 using CWM.
For some reason, the update method for stock mentioned on the CM7 Galaxy S didn't work for me. Even after flashing speedmod kernel, I still came up with CWM 2.5.
Also, even with CWM 2.5, I was able to flash nightly build 18. Hope this helps someone else trying to update CWM.

[Q] Help with Clockwork Recovery

I installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery but when I hit reboot into recovery it goes into the normal android recovery screen. I also tried doing a backup of my old rom but it just reboots into stock recovery screen and doesn't actually do the backup. I tried installing ROM from SD, same thing. I've tried different recovery versions (2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.2) but they all do the same thing. I'm rooted and it has superuser permissions, so that's not the problem. I have ROM manager premium. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ROM manager. Please help.

Try installing it through stock recovery. (reinstall pakages)

What firmware you using?

rom manager is only good for eclair and froyo
there isnt a correct update.zip for the captivate on gingerbread.
if on gingerbread flash a kernel with CWM (clockwork) built in.
if on froyo/eclair you must select *reinstall package* from android recovery TWO TIMES in a row!

except FROYO has recovery3e also.....it will not allow unsigned update.zip files.

Ok. I'm on Froyo 2.2. Stock firmware. Trying to get either Fasty II or Cyan. First time doing all this. All this started with the GPS problem... (I know, I know. There's a thread for that.) Plus, I am interested in other ROMs. Just praying I don't kill my phone in the process.

you need to look at Odin/heimdall a CWM kernel, or fixing your recovery 3e to accept unsigned zips

^That. Fasty II needs Gingerbread bootloaders

OK. Well, really, I think I'd like to go Gingerbread. I dunno. There's too many to choose from. I want to get CWM working first. Where's the forum to install manually? There's so many places to look...

If you are going to GB flash a leaked stock first that contains boot loaders. Does your phone take well to 1 clicks?

Augh! I used Odin to flash the kernel. I had a temporary success. I had cwm up and it backed up my old rom. I rebooted twice into cwm. Third time, it reverted back to old android recovery. Like I said... Augh!
-Typed while driving on my Captivate- []

Flashed it again. Got CWM back up. Now, moving on to figuring out getting gingerbread. Any tips here are greatly appreciated as long as they make sense.
Also, what is 1 clicks?

Odin 1 click that will flash a leaked stock rom like 2.3.3 KF1 or 2.3.4 KH3 or 2.3.5 KI2. If they include Bootloaders you can just flash a cwm kernel and ready to flash any rom you like.

[Q] illuminace install issue

I tried to install the illuminance Rom last night, and it kept getting stuck at the ATT logo. I reflashed back to stock did a master clear, flashed a stock 2.3.5 uckj3 gingerbread Rom with corn kernel v307 also ATT gingerbread boot loaders. I used CWM to install the ROM, it'll restart then get stuck and get stuck at the ATT logo....is there something I'm missing? I've installed other ROM and have had no issues until now?!?!

If you used Corn kernel, are you sure you where on RFS format and not ex4?

it was rfs format before I tried to install

Did you make the file (don't remember exactly wich) that disable Voodoo. There is no reason for it to bootloop. After you flashed stock did you let it boot up? Maybe try with Boog kernel to flash then flash wich ever kernel you want to use?

I'll try the boog kernel.....I also ensured that the lagfix for system and data was disabled through CWM recovery ....in the install instructions it stated that it would take awhile to boot, I let it set for two hours. One thing I noticed is that 150 jpegs were installed

Doubt this might be it but, If you set it on CWM to disable lag fix reboot in cwm then flash. Random thought.

LOL....did that also.

My boot getting stuck got fixed after Wipe data/factory reset in CWm, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, - all three -then install illuminance. Tried that ? Starting from stock KJ3 no bootloaders.
Importantly: Can you boot with just Illuminance boog kernel (the one that comes wiht the ROM, no other kernel flashed)? I presume you cannot boot a fresh Illuminance install............if this is the case wiping as above should help.

I finally got illuminance to install, and is working great.
this may seem like over kill but everytime I flash a new ROM I start from scratch and flash to stock and master clear and then build from therethis is the first time that I ever had any issues by doing it this way. usually I have it setup up in 10 to 15 minutes it seems to save any issues later down the road as far as being buggy.

Glad to hear it

Hi, I tried to install Illuminance 1.1, but I think the file is corrupted. I downloaded it twice, from different locations, and its the same zip file.
I tried to decompress it before installing it, just to check file consistency, but lots of files can´t be decompressed.
Anyone had this problem? If not, any way /any where to safely download it?
Thanks!

In the Illuminance Rom Thread, in the OP, there is a link to IlluminatedOne's website, where u can find a good non-corrupted download and u will also find the installation instructions.
Not sure why u think u had a corrupted download ?? But u should b good to go once u get to the website.
As of this version 1.1 release, u should only be downloading the Illuminance Rom from said website.
Sent from i897uckj3

I downloaded my version from Mega-upload. I tried it again last night just for...you know....and received the same results of being stuck on the att logo for hours. as usual i flashed to stock and master cleared, GB boot loaders, reinstalled stock 2.3.5 and reinstalled luminance and before i rebooted i installed the samurai kernel, then rebooted and everything worked as normal....so being fairly new to the whole Dev scene i don't know why that would make a difference, but it works fine and it didn't get stuck on the att logo.

oh and thanks twin I'll try and go to the website and check it out

[Q] Went back to stock, now having trouble getting out

Dear friends,
Little background. I was on CM10 stable, but decided to I update to CM10.1 M1, After the update, had no market, however, so I tried to downgrade to CM10 stable and it bricked. So .. back to stock it is! Now I am having trouble getting out of stock. I am not new to flashing, but I never had this kind of a persistent problem.
The short summary of what I get no matter what I try is: Every kernel that is not the stock Eclair kernel has boot-animation messed up (random lines of color on screen), and I cannot enter recovery - I sometimes can boot sometimes cannot.
Steps I have taken
I went back to stock Eclair rom + non-root kernel (LINK).
I rooted (LINK)
But when I tried to update kernel to allow CWM, it bricked my phone. So back to stock, again!
I tried this a few times. Now, the latest attempt, I tried the stock 2.3.5 rom + rooted, CWM kernel (LINK... I get the phone running, but I cannot get into recovery, and no utility that has "reboot to recovery" has managed to get me into recovery.
The plea
All I want is CWM, so I can install what I want. Without it, I am stuck with Odin one-click and Odin flashable packages (Heimdall does not want to work right for me - the drivers are messed up - and trying to fix those brkeas my Odin drivers).
I have no data on the phone at the moment, I can reinstall everything if need be .. but I am out of ideas besides keep trying different roms and kernels until something gives me CWM and I am free again.
I have AT&T GB bootloaders.
thanks for any help, I will try to provide any additional info I can.

Messed up screen = wrong bootloaders. Flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders
From there, follow this link.
Finally, you can get back up on CM10.1 - Btw, you had no market cause you didn't flash their Gapps.

UPDATE .. ugh that took a while:
1) From the master list LINK, wet back to 2.1, I897UCJF6
2) From the same thread installed I897UCKF1 with bootloaders
3) rooted: LINK (I know -not XDA)
4) removed the 3e recovery lock (LINK) - this did not seem to work, but I did do it.
5) installed Speedmod kernel from here LINK - this did not boot, but it did install CWM
6) installed CM10.0 Stable from SD cadr - twice
7) installed gapps
8) just did my first boot to CM10.
This is both a record for myself for later, and for anyone else that may find this useful.
