Searched for it
found it
Installing hangup and nothing in the bar indicating anything is being done
Did you have any lagfixes installed prior to trying to update?

My history is as follows:
Stock to Root
Back to stock
Installed JH7 via mini Kies
BAck to stock
(Learned how to use adb to get into download mode)
Loaded Froyo "Officical beta"
Wanted to try the Clockwork mod so I went back to stock using ODIN
Installed the Zip files in proceeded to install Clockwork then searched for and found the OTA file
There are two files out there. JH7_OTA.zip and JTA_OTA_STOCK.zip
The latter did not work and hung up on install..I loaded the former and it installed.
Now a few questions regarding Clockwork
I dropped the Cognition 2.2 5 in my root directory..Can I load that in the same way? Then go back to the JH7 when the Official 2.2 froyo comes out? Whether rooted or not?
If I want to root the phone I will have two update.zips in the root directory (Clockwork and the root upadate.zip)...Must I remove Clockwork? IS it loaded or does it execute from the zip every time? Can I rename the Root update.zip to something else now that I can "find" it with Clickwork?
I like the clockworkmod and will definitely pay for it if it allows me to change ROMS I place on the SD on the fly rooted or unrooted (would never need to go back to JH6 and deal with adb if so)
Final question,,,Shoudl I use clockwork to "reset the battery?"
I do not intend to do any lagfixing beyond whatever is in Cognition since that seems to be more of a problem than it may be worth
Thanks...Its been two weeks since i became an Andriod fan and i have learned alot.....and still am
Read the Cog wiki, there have been so many versions I can't remember all of them and the install instructions, some you needed to flash through Clockwork. Cog 2.2 5 Is Froyo whicj means you can not use Clockwork to flash anything with Froyo running because Froyo is not an official release and is BETA it is not signed, Koush hasn't found a way to sign it in order for Clockwork to work with it yet. Clockwork is worth having the paid version yes. You must be rooted to use ROM Manager so unrooting you loose access.
If you are using JH7 that you flashed check if you have SuperUser in your apps drawer, if so you are rooted. Get used to Odin if you are going to mod your phone you will use it more than you think and it becomes less scarey the more you use it.
You've already modded your phone so OTA updates will not work for you, mini kies will so go ahead and flash away, you will eventually have to flash with Odin to update with mini kies so go have fun. Also, those guys on the dev section will have the official up as soon as it comes out. We had JH7 within a few hours, none of us could do the OTA and AT&T bricked a lot of phones so I will only use stuff from Samsung anyways.

Yeah I have two phones and one is the guinea pig. I have my main phone on the pre release of Froyo. I am practicing getting the second phone eventually from Cognition2.2 5 to Samsung's official release. I have used ODIN probably 10 times to get back to JH6 where I have to use the adb SDK to get into recovery/Download modes.
The OTA updates did not work for either phone which is why I began modding and learning, Mini Kies was the only way to get JH7 until now with Clockwork.
I've browsed and searched around but not having luck, partly, I suspect, due to a lack of knowledge. Also, most of what is out there is for custom roms.
How can I get CWM to work on the Stock KB1 ROM? I have found a method to root, and get it to sideload, but I'm not finding how to get CWM working.
I presume it is 3e or something. Here is what I have tried:
1.) I put the update.zip that I've been using for quite a while on it.
2.) I tried using ROM Manager to set it up
In both cases I get the E:Failure....errors.
This should work I believe

CM7
Gave you a thanks.
I also found it at this thread. Good to go.
Now I just need to be sure I flash CWMs that won't mess up my 2.2. Lot of stuff is for 2.2.1.
What are you looking to flash?
CM7
I've been using Serendipity for quite a while and love . But given enough time, I always end up losing auto rotation functionality. Flash back to stock always fixes it. So, I'm going to try to get KB1 as functional as I can.
I have finally got it rooted; installing non-market apps; and CWM working.
I am about to check on a Dena theme I had used, but expect it to not work, given it was on a 2.2.1 rom. Maybe I'll be surprised.
I also want to get the Circle Batt mod. I expect I can achieve that with the UOT Kitchen.
I have also just applied a Beta Kernel,, so making progress.
Not sure what else I want to flash, but want to be ready with CWM, which I am now.
I Flashed Supersurio's KB1 + Voodoo Kernel. After that I installed CWM using ROM Manager.
If you are looking to get CWM working on 2.2, this seems like the easiest method and you end up getting Voodoo Lagfix as a bonus!
hi.
i've had a galaxy i9000 for a few weeks now and today i decided to root the thing so i could try some sick themes.
rooting went fine, it's all done properly (i think...).
i got metamorph and tried to install this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726912
after a bit of persuasion, i got the phone to install it successfully, or so i thought. it asked me to reboot, so i did, but there are no changes to the phone, the default theme is still active.
excuse the bluntness, but what the hell do i need to do to get a theme running? i've spent like 2 hours trawling the net reading about cyanogenmod, nandroid, busybox and metamorph and i'm possibly more confused than when i started.
cheers
The ROM you use needs to be De-Odexed
if you are running a stock ROM, then you will never get a theme installed.
there are many Custom Stock - De-Odexed ROMs out there, if you like the stock feel
You should probably have clockworkmod to install the themes too. You can get this by flashing a custom kernel. E.g speedmod for froyo or CFroot for Gingerbread(make sure you get the right version for your rom) and flash either one with odin, read up before flashing and make sure you have download and recovery modes.
So most themes require:
A deodexed rom
CWM to install the theme
I didnt realise you are on CM7 - its still early and i didnt wake up long ago.
anyway a CM7 ROM will be de-odexed so scrap my last post. I dont know if that version is compatible with your version of CM7, However there is a theme section for CM7 only, and thats in the themes and apps section.
also when i was running CM7 you dont need to flash the theme in recovery. You install it like an .apk and there is a built in theme manager app with CM7 - you look in there for your theme and then hit install
is that what you have been doing ??
-------deleted--------
ok.
well, i'm running froyo firmware v2.2 and kernal v2.6.32.9.
so, what apps exactly do i need from here? i have a rooted phone with superuser, rom manager, metamorph and busybox.
so damn confusing, every page of information i read just clutters me up. there seems to be a sea of different versions of everything that are all incompatible with each other.
all i want to do is install some different themes.
quick bump. so close to knowing what to do, just need someone to quickly explain!
i thought u was running cyanogenMod ??
anyway, is your froyo rom a custom rom ?? if so its as simple as flashing it in recovery

My advice:
Install CF root,install clockworkmod recovery,download the theme you want and place it in your internal sd card.Boot in recovery,choose zip from sd card,flash it,reboot ready.
the rom still needs to be de-odexed, if its a stock rom with a custom kernel it still wont work
ok, what the hell is CF?
I DLed the latest CM "nightly" whatever that means for my phone but havent installed it to my phone yet cause im not sure how.
as for being a custom ROM or whatever, the phone is basically stock outta the box apart from being rooted.
thats why themes wont work, your still on stock.
CF root is a kernel, which gives you 2e CWM recovery...
Cyanogen can be a little tricky to install so i would HIGHLY recommend you read the instructions 5 times plus. or get used to flashing simple custom roms first.
I agree, dont mess with cm or miui till you are competent flasher
Sent from gt i9000 insanity 8.5/fugumod
For me GingerReal or Simply Honey have been fairly simple to install. Just folow the instructions to the letter.
Then you can simply can flash any themes from CMW
I have a friend that want's to flash a custom ROM to his captivate. He has it rooted but hasn't done anything else.
I said I would install CM7 or something on it for him. I had a Droid and Droid2 and am now on a Thunderbolt. So rooting and flashing ROMs aren't new to me. But, as with all three of my phones, things are a little different on the Captivate.
I see there's this Odin thing and I think no permanent clockwork recovery? How do you install ROMs on the Captivate? I see there's a new CW that doesn't need what ever Odin is. He's on the stock kernel and everything. So do I just boot into recovery and flash the clockwork update.zip and then flash normally through CW?
Also, being as he doesn't know how to do any of this, which is the most stable and bugless ROM that everyone uses. He won't know how to flash something else, so I need something that is as close to 100% as possible, speedy, and close to, if not ASOP.
Thanks
Hello,
Please post in Q/A as this is not a development topic. Suggest mod move the post.
I suggest that your buddy do some reading. Are you going to be there to hold his hand every day if something goes wrong with his flash? Tell him to educate himself. And if flashing is not new to you and your 3 phones, you should know what section a question like this goes in, is it "android development" related?
Sent from the frozen tundra known as Canada.
Most stable rom I have ever used is firefly 3.0. But your friend should see u do it and at least know how u did it to his phone. And yes from stock just do the clockwork mod update.zip and then flash through clockwork mod, there is a little more involved in flashing cm7 and it is not the most stable rom anyways. Good luck and I hope u take my advice on firefly you won't be dissapionted
The flashing procedure will vary depending on what ROM you want to run.
CM7/MIUI have their own set of procedures.
Flashing a Froyo based ROM you'll have to flash CWM 2.X then the ROM
Flashing a Gingerbread based ROM you'll have to flash the updated Gingerbread bootloaders first via Odin then flash the Kernel or CWM 3.X or higher, then the ROM.
Post in question section plz
I advice you to start flashing a not complicated rom (2.2) , once you get the hang of it then you go advance.
Moved to proper forum.
Odin is a program that is ran in the computer to flash a rom, bootloaders, and kernel at once. For it to work your phone has to be in download mode. Clockwork works with rom manager in the app store, some roms have it in the kernal.
Sorry, the forums I used before all root related things, including questions, went in the Root section. I thought Q&A was for non-root/development questions.
Thanks a lot Dustin, Kyuta, and bassplayer for the information.
I am going to show him how to do it. But I'm not going to hold his hand every time. That's why I wanted something stable where he wouldn't have to flash something else to get functionality that was missing.
OK GUYS. Kinda noob here, need some help.
-On Captivate (obviously)
-Was on 2.2 Froyo
-Rooted phone using superoneclick.
-pleased overall. Looked into new ROMs, but couldnt quite get an understanding
-Ended up updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5 via kies mini
-killed my root access
Here are my issues:
-Cannot figure out how to root
alternatively, cannot figure out how to revert back to froyo to root, then download and apply Cyanogenmod7, which is what i actually want
-When i was rooted on froyo 2.2, i would try to use ROM MANAGER and it kept saying the SD needed to be mounted, even though it was.
Basically, if someone could either copy-paste (or provide a link to) a guide as to how i can go from 2.3.5 Gingerbread to Cyanogenmod 7, i would be forever greatful.
I want to be able to overclock my cpu for better proformance, plus have FULL costomization abilities. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I ROOTED MY CAP WHEN IT WAS 2.2 YESTERDAY, AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH ANY SORT OF MODDING.

Take a look in the development section.
You'll need to run one of the one-click stock ODIN or HEIMDALL packages with CWM baked in to get you a setup that will work for going to CM7 (there's one in my sig if you need it).
Once you do that, look for the CM7 thread in the Development section. It has a step-by-step guide to flashing CM7 (basically download, backup, flash).
well if you used super one click to root it back then, i would use super one click (new version) to root it again...
cm 7 has instructions.
if you really wanna know how to root 2.3.5...it's in the general section.

ok guys.
I used heimdall to go back to froyo
Then instead of cm7 i flashed cognition through clockworkmod rom manager
now im running on cognition 4.5.3
however, all overclocking apps i try wont go beyond 1000mhz.
im trying to get it to at least 1200.
Any ideas? Fixes?
thanks in advance. you guys have been very helpful.

You'll want to take a look at the kernels compatible with Cog, I'm not familiar with Cog, so I can't give you any direction as to which one you could try
Froyo isn't as freaking kernel picky as gingerbread. Any froyo kernel will work, just remember if you use a reoriented I9000 kernel you will need to flash an I9000 modem as well. This will also give you hsupa at the cost of audience chip support.

upgrade again to uckj3 firmware with bootloader then flash boog kj3 kernel it have cwm recovery
after flashing recovery
wipe data and cache
install cm7 from recovery it will fail for the first time again go to recovery and install cm7 after installing cm7 wipe data and cache again reboot the phone it will take time as the phone will regenerate dalvik cache
cm7 is pre overclocked to 1300 mhz you can increase the overclock to 1700 mhz by flashing glitch kernel

It isn't pre overclocked, it comes at a stock 1000 MHz or 1GHz.... Then you can OC with Glitch and stock I believe. But it isn't 'pre overclocked'
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
it is pre overclocked we just need to set it through cpu setting or set cpu like apps
If you need to set it, it's not PRE overclocked. The stock kernel just comes with the ability TO overclock
If it was preoverclocked you wouldn't need to set it with an app..it would be oc'ed by default...lol

I am really struggling as to whether it's worth upgrading to stock GB.
I mean the "newer and better" is sitting there beckoning me with its siren song, but there appear to be lots of little landmines that people are then regretting the upgrade.
1) tethering mgr error
2) bad battery life
3) random shutdowns/reboots
etc, etc
Are the "benefits" really noticeable such that it is worth taking the risk of the landmines and the time/hassle of trying to fix them?
