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.
The sad thing is that i cant use rom manager i rooted my but it doesnt let me use clockword recovery

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've got a newer captivate just recently through warranty due to it no longer charging. Well this one came factory with 2.2. I know 2.2 had 3e recovery and I've done the fix to flash unsigned files and was able to get into cwm but it failed everyone I tried to flash a rom. I've tried to flash standard 2.1 and rogers 2.1 via odin3 one click and odin 1.81 via the pit and tar files. Neither way will get my phone working on 2.1. So I have to resort back to the stock 2.2 or rogers 2.2. What am I doing wrong? I just want my custom roms back!!! Please find it in your hearts to help even though I've pissed off a few people with my 3e recovery question.

Try using the 3e recovery fix in Trusselo's sig - just unzip and use the .bat file with your phone plugged (in debugging).
It should let you flash a custom ROM after that. No need to go back to stock.
As for Odin, your phone could be a recent build and you need a specefic odin for 1010 and up.
EDIT: What was the error when you were trying to flash a ROM through cwm?

I unzipped the modified recovery file to the /bin folder via root explorer. Haven't read anything about a .bat file though.

Well it's not really needed but the .bat file will run a command that will place the recovery for you through your computer.
Not needed since you moved it yourself using root explorer (make sure you're in mount r/w).
Did you try it after placing the new recovery and rebooting your phone?
what are you trying to flash?
how are you flashing it? with the fixed 3e recovery? or with cwm?
did you rename it properly 'update.zip' for 3e?

when you select reinstall package, it searches for a file named update.zip on the root of your sd and flashes it so there's nothing more that you have to do.
Now did you fix your problem? I can't tell by the way you wrote that lol
Did you name the file update.zip? or did you name it update?
If you named it update.zip.. it reads it as update.zip.zip as it is a zip file. So all you have to do is to name is "update" with the ".zip" being the type of file.

So youre saying that I can flash roms without going into cwm ? I get into cwm by naming it "update" so I can open it up by selecting "reinstall packages" in the recovery menu. I cant have cwm renamed as "update" and the rom I want to flash as "update" right?

If you moved the 3e recovery fix in /system/bin, you will get into cwm recovery after reinstall package (I believe you have to to it twice as the phone only reboots the 1st time).
Now most of the new ROM have a kernel with built in cwm recovery in their full flash. Which is why you can rename the file to update and reinstall package.
But if you're on 2.2 - you do need the 3e recovery fix so you can get past the signature verification.
Also, you can only have 1 file named update(.zip) in the root of your sd and you want it to be the full ROM file.

If it takes you to cwm.. You can just "install zip from sd card" - What the file is called won't change anything.
And believe me, once you're on a custom ROM, you won't want to go back.

I understand what you're saying about flashing the rom from cwm but as I said before it gives me an error message as soon as I select the rom from my sd card. Could the rom file be corrupt or does that error message seem more phone related?
And I meant it as I wanted to go back to my old captivate and 2.1 bc I had no problems flashing roms on it. I've already flashed cognition and serendipity on my old phone with little problems. This new captivate is being a pain in my ass.

you are still on stock recovery,
i assume ROM manager will of created update.zip so what you need to do is select : apply sdcard:update.zip
you may need to do this 2-3 times before automatically going into CWM (you will notice the difference)

you dont have CWM at all. either try ROM manager again. or flash CF-Root / kernel thru Odin, that will give you 2e / CWM recovery which will allow you to flash the ROM.

you can only install CWM via this method if your recovery is version 2e (or something like that)
if you want to be sure check your rom version and find a hacked kernel (speedmod or voodoo) with CWM and install it using the PDA box in odin nothing else (no pit, no modem etc) and make sure repartition is unchecked. I found this worked when others methods failed.
Yes its 2e
There is any method without odin?
Because iam.using linux.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
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
