My captivate won't boot into CWM recovery, even when directed by the Rom Manager app.
Completely stock rom, rooted. I've already flashed the latest version via the app.
Check your internal sd card for an update.zip file. If it's not there, I believe it's in the clockworkmod folder, named 'recovery-update.zip'. Copy and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it update.zip. You should be good to go.

After this I reboot into recovery mode and flash update.zip?
Yes, reboot into recovery. Use the volume rocker to scroll to 're-install packages' and press the power button to select it. It will probably reboot you right back to the same screen again, with the blue and yellow letters, if it does, re-install packages again and that should boot you right into clockwork recovery. All the text in clockwork is green, so you'll know when it's a success.

OK, I get to that, do a phone reboot, tell it to reboot into CWM and it still reverts back to the samsung recovery screen??

So have you seen the actual CWM recovery screen? Black background and green words? If you're still seeing the samsung recovery with the blue and yellow words, re-install packages again.
And double check to make sure that the update.zip is in the root/main part of the internal sd card.

Yes, I had made sure that the update.zip was in the right place, I did see the black background and green words, and I've flashed the update multiple times (have also tried redownloading, renaming again and reflashing). No dice.
Oh, ok, well that completes the process of booting into CWM. Now what do you need to use CWM for?
If you're flashing ROM's:
find a ROM that you want
download it
place it on your sd card
scroll down and select 'install zip from sd card'
then scroll and select 'choose zip from sd card'
then find the rom and select
then confirm your action by scrolling and selecting the rom again.

Well, I would select a rom to flash, but it would reboot into the samsung recovery screen; I can get to CWM by flashing the update again, and then flashing the zip from there, but I assume that's not the correct way to do it?
Yes, actually that is the correct way to do it. Sometimes you have to flash the update twice in order for samsung recovery to take you into CWM.
Just get into CWM and flash from there.

Hi folks.
Having some problems everytime I try to boot in recovery mode or try to install a ROM using ROM Manager.
when my phone boots into manual recovery mode, I eventually get this message.
E: can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted
I've made sure I have my update.zip in the root of my internal sd. In manual recovery mode, I even selected the "reinstall packages" option and it would execute just fine and then reboot my phone.
So I'm stuck scratching my head as to why I get the error message above and can't access the additional menu items in the manual recovery mode.
Help please as I am a noob to this hacking stuff.
THanks everyone!
after you reinstall packages and it reboots, do you select reinstall packages again? you should because it takes 2 times to get into clockworkmod

There's your problem. Your new file should NOT be named update.zip. The update.zip package MUST be the one for CWM. Its this update.zip that is used when you choose reinstall package and then you get into 2e recovery mode.
Name your file something different so it won't interfere with the update.zip of CWM on your sd root.
If you deleted that CMW update.zip file just return in CMW and reinstall the Recovery. It will push the update.zip again.
Not sure I completely understand.
to give clearer picture, here is where my update.zip file is located.
/sdcard (folder)
within the /sdcard folder are the following:
/Android
/clockworkmod
/DCIM
/download
/layar
/media
/sd
/tmp
...and finally, my update.zip file
so I'm assuming the update.zip is in its proper location within the /sdcard folder
With the file there, I reboot into manual recover and select reinstall packages...it executes and the phone boots up and turns on. It doesn't return me to the manual recovery mode again and I'm assuming it is during the return to the manual recovery mode where I can access additional menu items such as install from SD.
So I'm assuming this update.zip file I have now is the one for CWM. Thoughts?
at what point did you FLASH clockwork recovery manager? are you sure that update.zip file thats on there isnt for something else like the root?
to be honest, at this point I'm not entirely sure. the update.zip could be for the root.
what do you mean by flash clockwork recovery manager...when I go into ROM Manager, under the Recovery heading I see the following options.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2)
Reboot into Recovery

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-First delete every update.zip you have in /sdcard
-Return in ClockworkMod and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (yes it will reinstall the recovery, thus copying the right update.zip onto the /sdcard).
-Now rename your .zip you were trying to install (ie. my_new_file.zip)
-Copy it in /sdcard
-Reboot into Recovery and select Reinstall Package (if it goes directly into the recovery menu even better)
-Now you should be in the CWM Recovery.
-Select the "install zip from sdcard"
-Select your "my_new_file.zip" to flash it.
-Reboot in normal mode.
ok...so I went into ROM Manager application and tapped on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
A status bar displayed and it completed like in a second or 2. Then I went into my /sdcard directory and there is no update.zip file there. Doesn't seem like it is copying the update.zip file into the directory.
No biggy, just means the recovery is correctly installed.
Just follow the procedure and try it like it is and see if you get a error.
flashing clockwordmod recovery doesn't install an update.zip on your sd card (1 click roots do).
All flashing CWM recovery does is install clockwork recovery in place of standard recovery mode.
ok...so I've deleted the update.zip file from the /sdcard directory.
went into ROM Manager and clicked on Flash ClockworkMode Recovery
Rebooted my phone and got to the <2e> screen. I click on reinstall packages and now it gives me an error message that the update.zip cannot be found.
So then I used z4 root to unroot. I then rooted my phone again and found that it didn't place an update.zip in the /sdcard directory. So it appears without the update.zip in the /sdcard directory I cannot reinstall packages. But if I put the update.zip file back into the /sdcard directory, I can reinstall packages, but then I'm back to the same issue again....feels like a never ending loop.
ok...finally got things to work. Looks like I had the wrong update.zip file in my /sdcard.
I searched the forums and found the correct one that now allowed me to reinstall packages twice and take me to the full recovery menu.
for others that may need the update file, it is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9850347&postcount=1687
That was it!
Awesome, thanks! I had just returned my Captivate to AT&T for a replacement today, and I was pretty convinced the shysters had made it harder for me to re-root and mod my phone. Now, how do I wire you a beer?
If you downloaded with your phone right after rooting, make sure you delete the update from the general sd card folder and move the update from your download folder to the general sd card folder. I had flashed with odin and rom manager last night and i had to install it that way due to fact clockwork has been down.
Slight issue here, not sure if anyone has had it before.
Just acquired a Captivate as an xmas gift to myself (sick of that iPhone), and began the whole process of getting a new ROM onto it. Rooted, installed ROM Manager, flashed a clockworkmod recovery (2.5.1.2), and hit "Backup Current ROM".
The device reboots into the standard recovery mode with the usual options (reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data).
No backup is made, and I just have to continue the reboot. I've tried flashing to an older version, clearing the download cache, and using the option to go to ROM Manager's recovery mode (just takes me to the default recovery boot).
Am I doing something wrong here? I followed all of the instructions step by step.

Try doing "reinstall packages".
Steps:
1. Copy the clockwork recovery "update.zip" attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
2. Reboot to recovery.
3. Select "reinstall packages".
4. It would say something like replacing recovery with clockwork recovery, and reboot into recovery. This happens only the first time u use this.
5. Select "reinstall packages" again.
6. You should be in clockwork recovery.

Ok. I'll explain to the best of my knowledge.
The zip I gave u is the most non-intrusive way of CWM. No ROM manager installer is needed on phone apart from placing this zip on sdcard root.
When the phone boots up, it loads the default recovery console. When we select "reinstall packages", it loads "update.zip" on the sdcard root by default. Since the update.zip we have there is the CWM zip, it loads it therby loading CWM console.
If u don't want CWM, just delete this update.zip.
Hope this helps.
I have this exact same issue ROM Manager is doing nothing but rebooting into recovery. So if I use your workaround, I need to keep this update.zip file on my device at all times?

Yes best to do so
All ROM Manager does is download the update.zip that was posted and put it on your SD Card. The other steps need to be done regardless.

But it works quite well.
Hi all,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S I9000, but I don't have the stock Live Wallpapers.
Now I wanna install/do this:
"First place SamsungLWP.zip on the root of your SDcard (plug your phone into your computer and transfer the samsungLWP.zip to your phone's sdcard)
1. Go into rom manager and reboot into recovery
2. scroll down to install zip from sd card and press the power button
3. scroll down choose zip from SD card again hit power button
4. highlight signed SamsungLWPs.zip
5. Hit power button
6. Go back until you get to the reboot option I think back twice Reboot phone
7. go to personalize in setting options select htc wallpapers select live wallpapers and pick one to enjoy one"
I can't do the 2nd step, because there is no choice to select 'install zip from sd card'.
Can anybody help me?
I've got the stock rom (Froyo) and the phone is rooted.
Help would be appreciated
Koen
nobody?, I really need this now
did you fetch cwm?
The instructions assume you have CWM recovery (or a similar tool) on your phone.
In order to install programs in this manner you have to get CWM recovery. (search for rom manager in market and flash cwm (it's the first option from the top),
then again, I'm assuming you're getting this since you're still on 3e (the recovery most galaxy s phones come with). What I'd like you to do is get your phone into recovery mode and tell me what the very first line on the top says.
Hi,
The first line says: 'Android system recovery <3e>'
theres your problem you need recovery 2e
search for CWM in either update.zip or Flashable Odin version like cf-root.
if you get the update.zip version you need to put it on the root of your internal sd card, boot into recovery and select apply:update.zip you will need to do this twice... then CWM will appear and let you flash unsigned zip files.
if you use odin version just flash it in download mode and when you next boot you will have 2e recovery.
I just fixed it, I did put the 'data/app' folder onto my phone, and installed it, and it worked.
Thx everyone
There's your problem
You currently do not have the option to install (most) zip files from recovery. If you do want this option it is very possible and not too complicated(although this might void warranty) please read the forum guide on how to get CWM (clockworkmod)
I'm having a similar problem, but azzledazzle's suggestion left me a little baffled. I've got rom manager installed, Clockworkmod flashed and all that good stuff, but I'm still not able to install new roms. Now, I'm just about to try recovery mode, and...
Yes, 3e.
But how do I find a 2e thingie? Imagine I'm a gigantic moron who can put things in folders, but that's about it. I apologise for the pathetic help request, but if there's anyone...
Any help guys?thanks
Also having problems installing from sd

Listen..I have a HTC One V and when I go in recovery mode it says E:Can't open...Then when i press Vol Up + Power Button a list of commands pops up but there is nothing saying install zip from SD card..And now it's stuck at the htc one screen i can't start it up \_/

Obviously you need to flash the latest custom recovery CWM. After that flashing zip will work.

Trying to get CWM installed (to eventually get CM7 installed) on my friend's Captivate running stock 2.1-update1 to no avail. We have it rooted, we have ROM manager installed, but no matter what I do when it comes to flashing a recovery, it does not work. When I go to flash the update.zip, it says file is not found because it doesn't seem to be downloading anything at all. Any help?
EDIT: I think I got it, might have just been selecting the wrong option.....
If it doesn't work then try this. This will work. Btw rom manager does not play nice with captivates. I would not suggest it.
Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ve234hbg64ctcu0
Then follow these instructions.
step 4: Install clockwork recovery.
1. Go to the download folder and rename clockworkrecovery.zip to update.zip. Mount your phone and drag the update.zip file into the root directory. It is ok to overwrite the update.zip you used before. When it is done copying turn off your phone.
2. Unplug your phone and hold down both volume buttons and the power button until a strange menu with blue items pops up. This is called the recovery menu.
3. Scroll using the volume buttons to the menu item titled "reinstall packages" and press the power button to select. (you may have to do this twice to get it to work)
4. Your phone should restart and you should be at a green menu.

yeah we got it to work but thank you so very much for your instructions. My friend is basically amazed at the speed and flexibility of CM7 over that Eclair bloated it piece of garbage the stock rom is.
Wow... This Worked in July 2013
I pulled an old Captivate from the drawer that has Android 2.1-update (Eclair) on it and could not for the life of me recall how to get CWM Recovery so I can start installing some later ROMS.
The method you provided worked. Downloaded that file, put it into the phone's internal memory, root directory, changed name to update.zip, got into Samsung recovery, and on the SECOND try it installed CWM recovery.
Thanks.
I have cwm 6.0.3.6 installed. CWM website says 2.0.5.2 (or something close to that) is only available recovery.
How did I end up with 6.0.3.6? And should I flash 2.x.x.x?

I have redownloaded the file and replaced on SD card but still get the same problem. Should I be installing the "CWM 5.0.2.6" file in the clockwork mod part(yellow text) or the Android recovery mode (orange text) part?
So frustrating, Im obviously doing something wrong!
p.s if I try to apply in the android update from from sdcard I get a status 2 error.

I never had this error before... try placing the zip in your SD card's root directory (not inside folders)
Another great step for our Ace i Great job dev, alrdy pressed thanks button
Maybe mount data, system already mounted. After install the cwm Zip file

Tips: brush the CWM, in the use of " backup and restore " in the " Restore" option please don't restore other backup, which can restore the recovery backup, or it may cause not starting. Cause I have something in system Recovery. Remember!!!
Awesome Work
