[Q] Installing clockwork with rommanager on froyo - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So has anyone had any luck installing clockwork using rom manger with the new froyo release that came out today? It doesn't allow for un signed updates. Now I have seen post about using the vibrant file but not sure how that is to work.

Lol umm u have to use odin to flash a ji6 kernel with the 2e recovery then use cwm flash then reboot into recovery mode and hit reinstall packages. And joila! But u may have to hit the reinstall packages twice and it will work fine. At least with my cappy it does.

Need a Rom

I need ROM to flash with Odin. Clockwork thing is not working for me and all the modded rom's are clockwork oriented. I am actually dying to install cynogen. Off late they stopped releasing odin versions. Somebody please suggest some rom better than the stock Froyo which is flashable using odin.
My phone is rooted and unlocked.

Exactly i am in leaked froyo ji6. I rooted it.
You have two options. Swap in a kernel that has 2e recovery or flash back to stock and then flash the rom of your choice.

What he said. I would use odin to flash stock

The version you are on had a recovery that prevents you from using clockwork

Better safe than sorry, I just started contributing after quite some time now so I do not blame you one bit.
However...
That link is the CWM recovery for 2e bootloaders.
What ROM are you using?
You can always get ODIN 1.82 and flash an optimized kernel like hardcore's speedmod K9A which already has CWM.
EDIT: haha or you could just ODIN one-click to stock, root, and go CW Rom manager and from there flash recovery. I know that will work 100%, but that link is just a shortcut through all that nonsense.
Just flash clockworkmod recovery.
I had this problem the other day when I was trying to flash a new rom. I tried flashing CWM many times to no avail.
Like one of the previous repliers said, I flashed the speedmod kernel which had CWM already. The kernel can be found here.
Use Odin to flash it. After that, i could boot manually to CWM, but when i tried to boot to it through rom manager i was pushed to the stock recovery. In that case, I simply flashed my rom manually with CWM.
Theres also a good video on this for the i9000 which worked for me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7xV0yE9ZcA
Hope this helps.

[Q] Easiest ROM to get on Captivate?

So guys, I need to know what the easiest ROM to put on my Captivate is. I'm rooted on the stock Froyo and I'm coming from the Aria where it was really easy. But, a couple days ago I bricked my Captivate and now have new one. And coming form the Aria I never had to worry about download mode (which I still don't quite understand) and bootloaders and Odin3 (which doesn't register my phone when my phone is in download mode, however, it registers it when out of download mode). So I need a good ROM that all I have to do is boot into CWM and install from SD card because thats all I understand as I have been doing that on my Aria. Please help me find the perfect ROM. Thanks so much. Love you guys here at XDA!
If you already have CWM, all you have to do is boot into recovery and choose install zip from SD card. This will work with any FroYo ROM.
If you don't have CWM you need to mod your recovery before you do anything.
You should be able to mod your 3e recovery from your computer, check the stickies for 3e recovery Modding, its really easy, and caries no risk of bricking.
Then, using modded 3e recovery you can flash CWM with an update.zip then flash a ROM.
Or, rename ANY froyo ROM "update.zip" and flash it directly from your modded 3e recovery. I recommend FireFly or Cognition personally.

Yes, every Froyo ROM'S can be flashed with ClockWork Mod Recovery, you can download ROM MANAGER from market and you just touch "Flash clockwork mod" and then you have it, put the .zip files in your internal SD, and flash them using CWM.......

That is one way to obtain the CWM install file. But you still need to mod the 3e recovery before you can install the CWM recovery. Otherwise when you try to install it you will get the signature verification failure.

how do I mod 3e recovery? Whenever I use cwm to reinstall packages, it says full signature verification failure. Or something close.

ROM Manager / Clockwork Mod question

I'm trying to install clockwork mod on the wifes captivate. Unlike mine, she doesn't want a custom rom, actually she doesn't want me messing with it at all lol! Anyway it's rooted and I ran the 3e recovery fix script for Froyo as her's is 2.2.
So I install ROM Manager to install cwm, select Captivate and it says not supported on your device, manually install a recovery first and run again. Ok so where does one get a cwm file to manually install? I looked on the clockwork site and it has rom & recovery files listed but unknown if that's it and if it's even compatible with 2.2? Anyone have a clue on this? I've search multiple threads and haven't found one with this particular issue.
Search for "update.zip"
You need a clockwork enabled kernel. Then RomManager will be able to install CW.

This is wrong.
To OP don't waste your time with Rom Manager. Flash a kernel with cwm baked in it (any i897 2.2 kernel should work) or as mrhaley30705 said update.zip.

what he said. flash any custom kernel, it has cwm built in. or do the update.zip method and make sure NEVER delete the file!!!!!!
but go with a custom kernel the have TONES of other cool options added. find one that is odin flashable and odin flash it...
here...
Odin3v1.85.zip
Onix kernel v2.0.5 made for android 2.2 search the forum for its thread to find all its options
boot phone into download mode (search)
plug in to computer
open odin
load the kernel into the PDA box.
press start

Curious how my statement is wrong? He asked why rom manager would not install clockwork and I told him. I said he needed a cwm compatible kernel, and you just repeated what I said except not to use rom manager?

there is no CWM compatible kernel. all custom kernels have CWM baked in. ROM manager is useless
^That's why its wrong.
Ah ok, roger that. I fully understand it now. Thanks.
