[Q] N00B Questions (please respond)

Got my Captivate a few weeks ago (best phone ive ever had) and i instantly Updated it to 2.2. The problem i have came across now is that i see terms such as "JK3" and "JPU" when i want to install a theme and i was wondering how do i know if i have that. I dont remember what i used to get 2.2. Also DL ROM manager, click install Clockworkmod Recovery but i dont know if i have it, how would i know. When i go into mass storage and all my folder show up it has a clockworkmod folder with a recovery-update.zip in it. Copied that .zip to main folder area and renamed it update, put phone in recovery mode and put reinstall packages but it says E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed when i rename it i dont put .zip......Baseband Version: I897UCJI6, Build Number: FROYO.UCJI6

stock 2.2 leaked ROM has 3e recovery. You need 2e recovery. Go back to stock 2.1 using ODIN.

will it delete everything?
update:should of opened up link before replying haha will something like Lookout or Titanium backup pics etc.. so it wont be deleted?

It won't wipe your sd card. Your pics and media on the card/internal storage will be fine. You will lose your apps, you can use titanium to back those up.

I don't think there is a simple way at least. ODIN is as simple as it gets. Just backup your apps using Titanium then ODIN right away.

would this be the one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and would i have to undo my root and uninstall my Oneclicklagfix V2+?

if you use the ODIN one click, you dont have to remove anything. it will remove it all for you

[Q] Rom Manager no clockworkmod recovery

I have thoroughly restored and master cleared my phone twice now. I root it, install Rom Manager and then attempt to install Clockworkmod Recovery and every time I get "Error while downloading from server". Are they down or something?

same story here, I even gave them the $5 and now it cannot even install the clockwork mod What is going on here?!

I believe the server is down for the clockwork mod file that rom manager downloads from. I attached the file that I downloaded from another post.

Thank you,
Thats got it

No change.

This didn't change anything for me. Installed via recovery menu. Did I do something wrong?

Once you put the update.zip on your internal SD card , reboot to recovery and select "reinstall packages"...............you are in ClockworkMod Recovery

Had the same problem wit the server and can confirm it worked with the update.zip in the post AND the double install(you dont need to reboot again just hit install packets againg).
Thx

I can also confirm that this worked as well. I am rooting my bosses phone(captivate) and clockwork was giving me "server" issues when flashing the recovery. Put the update.zip on the sd card, booted to recovery and ran the update, I am flashing clockwork as we speak! Thanks, this forum never lets me down!

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.

[Q] Help to backup/install ROM for Milestone using ROM Manager

I rooted my Motorola Milestone with Super One Click, then installed ROM Manager. I did flash CockworkMod recoveries but I could not do the backup or installation of new Custom ROM. The phone always was back to the screen with the yellow exclamation inside the white triangle. If I use VOlume + Up button, it will appear the recoeveries with four options: reboot system, wipe data/factory reset, apply update.zip and wipre card partition with the info: E:cannot open cach/recoveries/command. I did try to apply updated.zip but it failed and say that it cannot verify the signature and installation aborted.
Could you please help? Thanks
Phone: Milestone rooted with android 2.2
Root: by Super Once Click

Dude, ROM Manager does NOT work on Milestone. You need to flash a Vulnerable Recovery using RSD Lite, install Androidiani Open Recovery, go from there:

Thanks, dude. In the list of ClcokwordMOd, i find out there is a row for Milestone. Click on it, I also am able to download a file of Recoveries which is specific for milestone. But it does not work.
One thing I would like to raise here is that after i cannot use update.zip any more. Cuold you please explain why? It also says "cannot verify signature"
Thanks

Because your phone does not have the vulnerable recovery installed. Look at the link I posted. It has everything you need to get up and running. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

The Milestone mentioned in ROM Manager / clockworkmod is probably the Alltel Milestone, which in reality is a droid 1.
Now that you have installed cwm, you have to remove it from your phone and then install Androidiani openrecovery. Before that you need to install vulnerable recovery from here using rsdlite.
Note that it may take more than one try to get cwm out of the system.

What did you end up doing after it hung for an hour? Because if you haven't flashed a custom ROM, you should still be able to boot (rooted) and you can try the Nandroid backup again.

I take the batterry out of the phone and restart it again. It works normally but the backup is not done because i do not find out the backup under Openrecoveries folder. I did try the second time but it happed again and i had to take the battery out of the phone and restart.
please help

I actually had the same mistake as you before (using ROM Manager on our Milestone).
I recommend this:
1. Backup your SD card content
2. Reformat your SD (slow format)
3. Place the AOR 3.3 (Androidiani Open Recovery) files back in (use a fresh download if possible)
4. Perform Nandroid backup again
Note that there will be no "backup" content in your OR folder. Instead, you will see a new "nandroid" folder in your sd root.

Thanks dude. I find out the solution. I wipe all data + cache, then I download a fresh recoveries and then i did the backup again. It works well.

You should not use ROM Manager to do the backup or flash for Milestone. please use Open Recovery 3.3. Download it and please delete CWM folder also. Please wipe data/facotry reset for doing backup or flash. (IMPORTANT). It will work.

Nandroid Backup

Pre-requisites:
1. Rooted Device:
You need root access to android device for this process. Besides here, there are several advantages of rooting and the application used in this process requires root access. If you are interested in backups, ROMsand kernels, chances are, you are already rooted. (Seriously, you are missing the best things about Android if you haven’t rooted your phone.)
Anyways, if you are not rooted, take a look at the list of various rooting tools for Android that we have compiled earlier.
If your phone is rooted, proceed to the next step. If it isn’t – go get yourself a root!
2. Custom Recovery
You cannot do a backup of the OS while its running. The Nandroid backup process is carried out through recovery. The boot loader within the recovery enables you to take a backup of the OS while it’s not running.
ClockworkMod recovery is the most popular recovery. Install ClockworkMod recovery using Android ROM Manager and your preliminary setup is complete. You may install alternate recoveries as well, but you need premium version of ROM Manager for the app to work with any recovery other than ClockworkMod.
Steps to Perform a Nandroid Backup via Recovery and ROM Manager:
Backup and Restore via Recovery:
1. Boot into Recovery.
One way to boot into recovery is to run the ROM Manager app and choose the option to ‘Reboot into Recovery’. Else you can use CM7’s handy button combination chart for manual boot into recovery.
Personally, I prefer to use Quick Boot app for the purpose. It gives you one touch option to Reboot, boot into Recovery or Bootloader and simply Power Off.
2. Select ‘Backup and Restore’ from the recovery screen.
Once you are in recovery, scroll down to the option ‘Backup and Recovery’ and select it. You can scroll up/down through the menu using the volume buttons and select options using the power button.
3. Start the backup.
Once you are on the Nandroid screen, select ‘Backup’ to start the backup process. You have the option to restore backup on the same screen.
Be patient. The backup process may take a while.
4. Transfer the backup to your computer.
Once you reboot, you can see the backup in the ‘clockworkmod/backup/timestamp’ directory on your SD card. The contents of the backed up folder as seen in the below image.
Save this folder on your PC safely.

Why this thread here? Maybe it should be in the general section or maybe it just isn't required!
