[Q] help flashing rom captivate

im trying to flash paragon rc5. i follow the instructions, but when i go to choose sd card... and click on paragon.zip as file to use in clockwordmod recovery manager, it loads okay, then says replacing recovery manager and reboots. what did i do wrong?

To flash rom you should boot into recovery, select ingersoll zip from sd, choose zip, select parogon, confirm, done

Well when i do, it acts like its going to install, but then says "replacing recovery manager with clockwork..." then exits and reboots into the normal recovery screen.
Each time i get into recovery it is the normal one. I have to go to reinstall packages to get to the clockworkmod one. Something tells me thats not right.
Could this have happened because i installed rom manager and it didnt say i needed it?

Sounds like you are flashing an update.zip to get clock work recovery. i think you need to confirm you downloaded the correct file

What happened was i installed rom manager, got recovery manager through it, then downloaded paragon and its update.zip file. So am i basically flashing the recovery manager right now?

Sounds like it, are you on stock?
Paragon rom zip should be like 170mb in size

Rooted, but otherwise stock. Have already wiped all my data on it in preparation.
What im trying to do is this- have update.zip and paragon.zip in main internal sd folder. Go into recovery---reinstall---then it loads clockwork, then go to from sd---choose--- and if i pick paragon.zip it still does it.

let me clarify this, basically you do not need rom manager here.
1. download the update.zip and put it in your sdcard root folder;
2. download the rom file (170mb one) and put it in your sdcard; not necessary to be the root folder;
3. suppose you are on the stock rom; shut down your phone and use key combo to get into recovery mode;
4. apply the changes (i remember it is the second option), you may need to do it twice. you should now be in the cwm;
5. use the menu in the cwm to browse and install the rom file
6. reboot your phone. done.

Boot phone up normally. Delete paragon file you have. Redownload. Like I said the file should be like 170mb.

Update.zip goes in the root folder? Where is that? I couldnt find it anywhere....
The file is about 170mb. I know thats correct, im thinking since i had already installed cwm i moght have screwed up.

when you select reinstall packages you should go into green recovery/clockwork recovery.
If that works boot phone, open rom manager, select install rom from sd, select paragon

check the attached file.

Thats the update.zip i have. Now where do i put the damn thing?

Your internal sd card. Dl to phone, go to my files app, open dl folder find file select copy, click paste. Should now be where you need it

I feel.....stupid. Like, asking if a mac gets bluescreens stupid. I renamed the files on my pc alot, and upon closer inspection, discovered... *Ahem* xp had decided to rename the cwm fole the same as the rom file (yeah, lets go with that...). So i was flashing cwm.
Im going to let my battery charge and then try it. Will post results tomorrow morning. Thanks for all the help guys!

Got it all up and running. Works infinitely many times better than it did stock. Got a gps lock in about 5 seconds. Im loving this phone again.

[Q] [Help!!] Recovery Menu Failure!

hi Guys,
I have di11i's ROM installed, 5.6 stripped, on a Samsung Captivate.
I installed ROM manager, flashed clockwork from there. Chose Galaxy S Captivate as my phone. (should I have chosen I9000??!!)
then I clicked boot into recovery, and in recovery menu, it said "signature verification failed" did not install multi-CSC thing, and got stuck there!!
I unsinstalled ROM manager....
would my recovery menu be ok now if I try again? (scared to try)
what went wrong??!
thank u for the support!

Hey Dude,
I'm guessing its coming up as 3e recovery? If so, you need to take the file I'm attaching, unzip it and place it in the /system/bin folder. Reboot and you should be set.
Just to be clear:
Unzip the file and place it on your phone.
Use root explorer.
Make file system RW
Copy the file to /system/bin
Reboot!
You should be all set from here.

What Phoenix said is right. Also, this doesn't belong in development

Another simple way to get into recovery mode, since you are already on di11i's ROM:
use the power menu, then select recovery ...

indeed, my concern is, did I screw up anything related to that by getting this error, or was that error only because of trying through ROM manager?

Need help replacing a single file in system folder

Hi guys,
I tried a fix for GPS for v20l that can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19002334&postcount=41
This got me into a bootloop...
Can anybody help me and create a zip update to install via clockworkmod with the services.jar I backed up?
services.jar: http://www.mediafire.com/?b7ib6q8z4fa0z5z
Is there any other way to replace it manually in clockworkmod?
thnx

Here, attached. The file on mediafire is larger than "my" stock services.jar though, don't know what that is about.
Anyway, flash it via CWM, wipe dalvik-cache, and you should have your original back.
Now that I've done you a favor, you can do me one: Look up ADB on the .net. Even on an unrooted phone you can boot into CWM, mount /system and run ADB-commands to replace single files like this. It will probably save you some time.

For that we need custom recovery, like we had TWRP in GB. Developers are working on it, and soon we will have that. Meanwhile you can reflash whole firmware.
You can try to use zip file from Shaan's root. Just delete system/app, and system/bin, and put build.prop in system folder. But I am not sure if it will work this way.
I attached how I think it should work. If you got any more bootloops editing it, try it.

Maybe you better wait for custom recovery. With it would be lot easyer. You will have backup to restore.
I just tried it, it is not working because of signature.

Reboot phone In recovery mode, connect usb, run adb shell In PC:
su
mount -o remount system /system
cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop
reboot
(Assuming u have a backup build.prop In /sdcard)

Then you have to wait custom recovery.

I did not try, but I think you can. Just make it CWM compatibile. I have empty zip that is compatibile with TWRP, but I do not know if it is compatibile with CWM. I will try it later.

will wait for you to test
build.zip

This CWM is buggy. When I press option install from SD - it refresh. I needed 3 times to push restart to get phone restarted. I am waiting for fully working CWM, and I will try then. I am not pushing my luck after problems with TWRP last time.

YES solid explorer works,
changed to S2,
RESOLVED

Use another .zip that extract things to system, if u replace files In the cwm zip it wont work because of the update-script inside

Man, you just saved my phone by this zip. Thank you

Hi, I know this is an old h thread but I'm pretty sure this will be handy to someone
Try this app for an easy way to make an update.zip It's still in beta but seems to be working fine on my N7100 so give it a go...
Zip.me can be found here (playstore)

Help with .backup file.

My neighbor's phone was locked out by AVG and I dont want to reset it because of important notes and messages. I cant connect ADB since he hadn't enabled Debugging. I went to stock 3e recovery and took backup fro there and got .backup file in internal storage. I want to edit this file and remove the AVG and restore it back. How do I do so?

Unpack system.ext4.tar and delete AVG from /system/apps. Dont know if work but you can try.

As I said before, I have stock recovery and I got .backup file format in stock recovery.

Yes i understand now, you cant have access to that file.
Make a update.zip to replace build.prop and add this line in prop file.
persist.service.adb.enable=1
Edit: flash cwm first

Will cwm reset anything?

No, CWM recovery is just to flash the update.zip with the modded build.prop.
If you have stock rom installed, download stock rom and unpack system.img to get the build.prop file.
CWM can be flashed with SP Tools
