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.

get clockwork working properly....so much is riding on clockwork...
have you asked for help making it work properly?

What are you running
Settings, about phone
What is your baseband, build.
Are you in leaked froyo ji6

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

[Q] Clockwork Mod wont go into recovery

FYI, I am new to the game
Been doing a lot of research and decided to root with Z4 and to use Rom Manager (rooting isn't the issue). Flash ClockworkMod Recovery works fine. My problem - When attempting to Reboot into Recovery my hero attempts to reboot but stays at the opening HTC image.
Any ideas?

Try to make it go into recovery through ADB. I think that's the command program. Not sure. I'm very forgetful today.

Open up Rom Manager and flash alternate recovery then re-flash Clockwork Recovery. Hope that helps

[Q] Problem trying to flash a custom rom onto a galaxy s on orange uk - recovery mode

I've downloaded ROM manager and clicked on 'flash clockwork recovery'. this placed a 'update.zip' onto my phone. I downloaded a custom ROM and placed this zip in the same place. in ROM manager i choose install from sd card, locate the custom rom and select it. i reboot into clockwork recovery mode and i get the 'android system recovery mode' The options at the top are in blue. i believe this is wrong?
I'm led to believe i should click on 'apply sdcard:update.zip' but when i do i get
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Install aborted
I'm using a samsung galaxy s with the standard orange rom.
Any ideas?

U need to root your device first... flash a kernel like speedmod and it'll rot ur device after this u can install ur custom rom. remember while flashing via odin repartition should be unchecked

You would root and then just need to flash update.zip, dont place rom anywhere near it. I would delete your current update.zip and go through process (minus rom) again.
Alternatively and easier, is what ^^ he said.

I've already rooted my phone.
Dont i need to put the downloaded mod on my sdcard to install it? :/
Rom manager puts the update.zip file there but when i try to run it it fails :/

Yep place the rom into sdcard/
Sometimes in stock recovery, you may have to choose flash update.zip twice to install cwm
However
Mate, if you can use odin, just flash a pre rooted kernel with cwm installed. Should take about 5 mins to download and flash. Chainfire would probably be my recommendation.
Make sure you read kernel flashing instructions before you start.

When i hit the flash update zip i get the verification error :/
Ive tried it a few times so..
Okay i have odin and a kernel.
Only thing is i need to get to get my phone to download mode to apply the kernel through odin?
And my phone wont go into this mode :/ or recovery mode

How did you root?

I used superoneclick.
bad move?

Not at all, just curious. Can you not force download mode via adb? (havent needed to use it myself, so can't advise further)
i would suggest you apply the 3 button combo fix though before proceeding. If you can get into dl mode, its nigh impossible to brick, if not, then its all too easy.....
Dont rush mate, have a good search and read-up first.
Hope I've helped some.

I'll take a look at the 3 button combo fix and the adb method.
Thanks for all your help

No worries. Cwm method will only work with 2e recovery - if you have 3e, then you will need dl mode odin and kernel.

Nandroid Backup cycle?

Hello
today I bought a captivate with eclair 2.1
baseband: I897UCJH7
Kernel: 2.6.29
i was going to flash cyanogen rom but I am trying to do a nandroid backup but it will not allow me to go into nandroi? I select backup rom and it goes to the recovery screen, i select reinstall and basically it resets the phone. Been trying the same thing for the past few times, thanks

Stop using rom manager. Use recovery

Did he flash GB bootloaders as mentioned in instructions?
If he has ROM running I see no reason why he cant enter recovery mode. Tell him to try entering recovery mode using button combo

Not sure about bootloaders. His phone is working he just cant get to rec.mode?? The 3 button method does not work either. Is there a way to do a hard reset?

Any fix well require odin since recovery is unavailable.
He can either flash back to stock, or download bootlloaders and upgrade those. either way, odin.
