[Q] Recovery Menu 3e - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Cappy is running on 2.2 Froyo and has the kb1 kernel. I just rooted it using the Super One Click and tried to flash Fasty 2.0, but there's no option for that.All I get is reboot, wipe,and format,and when I tried to reinstall packages, the recovery menu said: "failed to verify whole file signature". Yeah, I saw the thread about this. I tried the fix by TRusselo and it's just stuck on running. I tried the manual mode, but the Terminal said the operation is not permitted and I cannot figure out how to use a root explorer to overwrite the recovery file, every time I try it says it cant be done. Help ;-;

I had that problem too...if the fix wont work...simply flash to stock 2.1 using odin and do everything again...cwm should work with eclairs 2e recovery

in rootexplorer did u change Mounted as R/W instead of R/O?

I don't know how to do either of those things. I'm a total nub. The only way I was able to root it was because there were videos on it. Explain in detail, please
NVM: I figured out how to rewrite the file. Just had to change my settings ... Anyways, Fasty 2.0 is not showing up in my external sd,actually on the recovery menu the external sd wont open at all

/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue
I'm running 2.2 Froyo. KB1 kernel, used OneClickRoot to root my Cappy.

before you go to paste the recovery in with root explorer there is a button on the top right, that say "mount r/w" press that and THEN paste...
Just Put the rom on your internal sdcard...

You can do that? The video I saw said to pur it in external
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

yeah of course. Ok just to be clear, The internal sdcard is the drive that shows up on your computer when you mount it or the /sdcard folder in root explorer, an external would be a card that you put it in yourself above the battery right next to the sim. If you couldn't put it on the internal then you would have to buy a micro sdcard just to flash a rom?
Just put it in the main directory of /sdcard then in cwm choose install zip from sdcard and scroll down to the zip...

Problem fixed, thanks guys

[Q] ClockPackage on di11igaf's

Issue 1: I'm trying to install ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, MyFiles.apk in order to have the stock clock. I keep getting the error "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" when i try to use the command adb install (any of the 3).apk. I have also tried "adb push" which doesn't seem like a valid command. I tried moving the 3 apk files to my sd card on the phone and using "installer" and "eoeAppinstaller" from the market and these fail as well. Any more suggestions? I really like this di11igaf's ROM, but I cannot stand the new alarm ( i like the gradual volume increase of the stock). I have tried a couple of market clocks, but they just didn't work for me. Thank you very much in advance.
Issue 2: If I use CWM and choose Reboot into Recovery i get the following:
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip

Installation aborted
At this point I can use the volume buttons to scroll up and down, but the power button will not select anything. The only thing I can do is remove the battery and boot the phone back up, which then takes me into CWM recovery v2.5.1.0. I was able to install the di11i add on, but I don't think that I'm supposed to be pulling the battery to get to this point.
Thanks again and sorry about the long post.
Im no expert on this type of stuff but I use di11i roms and I just transfer apk's to the root of the phone through the regular mass storage mode and use root explorer for the rest.Havent had any problems yet.
As for issue 2 is the package a .zip file? If not that may or may not be the problem.
From my own personal experience the 3dapp isn't sign so I can't install it too
System apps are best copied manually into the /system/app folder using app like root explorer. Make sure the folder is in r/w mode.

+1 you can simply use root explorer to copy the apk files into \system\app folder. quick and easy.

It is a zip file and it installed. What concerned me was the process. Should it have frozen up like that and forced a battery pull? Nothing I've read leads me to believe that was proper behavior of the CWM.

I don't have that directory. Are you creating it on the phone and then putting the files into it? I may have not been clear on what I am trying to do. I am trying to do what was posted in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11207089&highlight=clockpackage#post11207089 posts #2515
I just looked into exactly what you were talking about and I got it figured out.It wasnt installing for me either but this is what I did and it works now.
Through mass storage mode I copied the 3 files to the root of the card.
Then I moved the files to the app folder which is inside the system folder.
I use root explorer for the moving.
When you move them into the app folder its gonna ask to overwrite say yes.
After you get everything moved it will work if you go to the app in the drawer.I never actually installed anything but did an overwrite.

u cannot see it in my files. u need to have root access, and something like root explorer.
So it looks like I could have just copied and pasted the files from the sdcard/Clock folder I placed them in to the /system/app folder using Super Manager. I swear I tried that and it failed before I went through all the crappy steps below. Oh well.
Ok this is going to sound pretty cheap, but I didn't want to pay the ~$4.02 for an ap that I was going to use three times. I did find another way. I used Super Manager and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877316&highlight=installing+apk post #3.
So for any other cheapskates out there.
1. Install Super Manager on phone
2. Install ADB on pc
3. Connect phone to pc and copy the three files ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, and MyFiles.apk to the sd card. (I just drag and dropped in windows explorer)
4. Use Super Manager to move to /system/app/ and rename the existing file Gallery3D.apk (I renamed it to Gallery3D.old)
5. Use adb to copy the 3 files from the directory in which you originally placed them on the phone to /system/app/
in adb type:
adb shell
su
(accept the prompt on your screen)
cd /sdcard/whereveryoustuckfile
cp blahblahblah.apk /system/app/ (the red from Pirateghost).
6. Reboot
The clock and alarm work fine, but I cannot get Daily briefing option in alarm to work. I get a FC. I did install the "apk add on pack for 5.6" post 3 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897416 , but I dont think Daily Briefing was included in that. Any suggestions? And one last thing - what is the di11iBrowserfix.zip from post 3 of the thread above for? Thanks again to all who contributed.
I got the daily briefing working. Everything is almost perfect, but I would like two things still.
1. Is there anyway to change the tune that is played when you have smart alarm selected? I have a different tone selected, but I think once you select smart alarm it defaults to that new age tone.
2. My alarm goes off, I stop it, but then I have to unlock it before I see the daily briefing. Can anyone think of a way to have the phone unlock when I turn off the alarm. I know it is so insignificant, but it used to do that when it was stock and it was pretty cool.
Come one guys and gals - don't make me figure this one out by myself j/k but seriously I have surprised myself already by getting this far and I really don't have skill or knowledge for the last two things. I'm learning though....slowly.
Thread etiquette
Did I do something wrong here? I got some really quick responses to my questions before, but nothing on my latest. I ask this next question with all seriousness - should I have started a new thread since it's kind of a new topic? No worries either way, I just want to post in the the most effective way. Thanks. BTW, my phone is working great. I'm getting ready to install 6.0 GPS is a little screwy - often has me west of my location by about 30 meters by I attribute that to the phones hardware. Other than that I have no complaints (except for the lame smart alarm tune)

Diablo, I know this totally off topic and I´m sorry, but I´ve just seen your signature and noticed you run di11igaf´s 6.0 on Glitterballs and as I´m not able to post on development yet, here´s my question:
Will I have too much trouble on flashing another kernel over the di11picKle? I was happy with speedmod + jk4... that was the best working config for me so far...

Nope. Get the CWM flashable zip, and copy to ur sdcard. Then go to CWM recovery console, and install this zip. Reboot.
But, please take a nandroid backup, and try to avoid OC kernels if u r unsure ur phone can handle it. Phones freeze when tried to oc beyond their capability.

[Q] Tried to flash my first rom..

Well I got a stock 1009 built captivate that's running the official froyo. I decided to attempt to flash my first rom.
I used superoneclick to root and installed titanium backup and backed up my apps and data. That worked fine.
Then I used odin3 one click and restored to jh6? I think. And that worked fine.
Then when I went to use the One Click root. Where you have to copy the root file onto your internal sd and rename it update.zip then run the .exe file. I got some error in the green cmb prompt that I couldn't read quick enough and the phone rebooted into recovery and when I went to reinstall packages it told me that update.zip didn't exist? Rebooted normally and it was still there in the internal sd.
Is there something that im doing wrong or another way past this? For the hell of it i left the update.zip, rooted using superoneclick and installed rom manger and all of that worked fine in till it rebooted to recovery again.
basically I cant root with one click, but superoneclick works fine..
Edit: Noticed I put this in the wrong forum. Can a mod please move to q&a?
using regular one click is easy enable debugging and dont mount the sdcard clcik root and cmd window pops up starts daemon copies file and reboots phone select reinstall packages and should be good. If not delete the update.zip and start over remember dont mount the sdcard so it is accessible from the computer.

place in /mnt/sdcard/
this location is the root location of "my files" known as root of SD card
not to be confused with the phone's root directory that you need root explorer for.
It's placed in the right area. When I move the file, rename it, then ummount the phone and run one-click. It reboots into recovery fine and when I reinstall packages it gives me error about a signature?

you have the modded re CWMR installed correct? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
did you apply the SC v2.9.1 patch after flashing SC v2.9? if not go ahead and do that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983395
download the zip file, when finished used an app like androzip file explorer and go into sd card folder 'download' and move the file you downloaded out of the folder and onto the root menu of your sd card
exit androzip
reboot into recovery in the power options menu
wipe cache and dalvik cache in advanced
choose install from sd card
choose the zip you want to install
choose yes to install zip
when finished just reboot
use vol up and vol down to navigate CWMR and use the camera button to select and menu soft button to go backwards a menu
This is the standard install instructions for patches and themes
Haha no worries. We were all like that at one point in this android modding game. You'll get there soon and you'll be flashing roms, themes, and kernels all the time. Pm me if u need further assistance.
1) download theme
2) apply .zip file to sd card
3) assuming you already have cwm installed.... Power phone off and then power back on holding down the volume rocker and power button and then release
4) scroll down using volume rocker to install .zip from sd card
5) navigate to your downloaded .zip theme that you applyed to your sd and then select it by using the power button
6) select install (yes)
7) go back to the main cwm screen by pressing the search soft key button on your bottom right
8) reboot phone
hope that helps some. I'm typing this from my phone so I hope I got everything correct.
also be aware of what version of cwr you are using...the vast majority of themes use amend scripts whereas cwr 3.0 only can work with edify scripts....you ll need voodoo or older nonvoodoo recovery to flash these
im pretty sure i have clockwork i download and did the steps on this Super Clean version 2.9 - EB01/EB16 Froyo leak root+Froyo Clockworkmodwith MALWARE protectionthats what i got probaly didnt come with flash . i am pretty green at this stuff. lol
Looks like tapout got to it before me. Guess I need to brush up on my swyping skills. Lol. Good tutorial tapout. Well put. I wasnt able to link to any threads cuz im using the app but they are easy to find on here. Good luck and happy themeing!

No, don't extract the zip file. You need to select the nitrodark.zip file on your SD card before you say Install file. It won't automatically select the file you want for you.

Did you rename the file to update.zip and place it in the root of your sd card? If not, you will nerd to select the option to install from zip and then select the zip where it its located on your sd card.

So if you renamed nitrodark.zip and put it in the root of the sd card like Nitsuj said, choose "apply update.zip" from the main clockwork recovery menu. If you didn't rename and move the zip file, choose "install zip from sd card" and go to the "download" folder, and select your nitrodark.zip file. If you are running the stock browser, the zip file will be there.

Messed up phone after trying to flash

I downloaded cog from rom manager than tried to install it. I remember from flashing rom on my other phone that I had to select reinstall packages a few times. Nothing really changed. I rebooted then went back to rom manager and clicked install rom from sd (not sure if that's exaclty how its worded) I saw the rom but backed out. I booted back into recovery and selected format sd, I'm guessing I shouldn't have done that, now I'm getting a signature error in cwm, also when I select download rom from sd in rom manager I no longer see my download folder. Help please, not sure if any of this make sence.

A little hard to follow, but I would just flash back to stock and go and download CM and place it on your root sd card and just flash through CWM.

Just download CM from the DEV section and place it on the root of your sd card. Then power off your phone and 3 button combo into cwm and flash that way.
Cwm tells me when I try and install anything that- E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E: Signature verification failed, installation aborted. This is the exact message I get in cwm

How are you trying to install via cwm? Are you selecting the zip file or just clicked install update.zip? Just asking to make sure your doing it the right way.
Ffs it's the blind leading leading the blind.
Op you can't see the folder anymore because format means WIPE so your sdcard is empty now.
And 2 the signature error isn't because if that it's because you are on stock froyo which requires signed update zips. To get around this look here for the 3e recovery thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161102

At first I downloaded the rom from one of the dev pages, I than checked root explore/sdcard/download to make sure it downloaded fine, which it did. I than went to rom manager and booted into recovery, but I didn't see anything about installing from sdcard (which is what I see on my infuse) all I see is reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, and format internal sdcard. I selected reinstall packages because when I flashed my first rom on my infuse this step was required. Nothing happeded afterwards but the install didn't error out like its doing now. After nothing changed I than went back to rom manager and went to download rom, found the rom I wanted, selected download. After it downloaded I got an install prompt.I selected wipe data and cache (again, my infuse required this step) after that nothing seemed to change. I went back to rom manage and noticed a section that says install rom from sdcard, I opened that and say a download folder, opened the folder and saw the rom but I back out because I wasn't too sure about that process. I booted back into recovery and for some.dumb reason I clicked format internal and external sdcard. Now I'm getting this error message, and I have no downloads.

What to do with downloaded files? How to access system directory on the PC? Do I need just to swap the files?
Please help,
Thanks very much.
//i have got the rootexplorer
I think you move the zip file to your SD Card and enter CwM to install it? I don't really know. I'm a newb
Just to let everyone know, you need to download CwM, flash with odin (as PDA), then using your phone enter cmw app and choose to reboot with cmw.
Then you can apply the mod.
