I understand you were on a CM7 and you still work the way you download may be in luck you can flash a new kernel or the original one. You should find your backup should be on the / sdcard / ClockworkMod / backup

not cm7... the cm7 phone in my signuture is my wifes... its a freind phone, had a samsung rom with root.. then i tryed to flash him a local cellcom rom (in israel that in hebrew) and it didnt succses

Just flash a gingerbread rom with odin, get root and restore the backup.

can you give me a link to rom?
its not a regular zip file...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

flash a kernel should be sufficient to recover the original configuration with the backup. What is said Firemil as well. What do you mean by "its not a regular zip file ..."

i know how to flash roms through cwm recovery...
you were just telling me to flash through odin, am i correct?
when ill get home ill flash with odin karnel that have a recovery allready..
but if it wouldnt work?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

yes flash a kernel with Odin, the harder will be to find the same kernel file in PDA, I think the solution is the easiest Firemil, flash a rom with Odin. Sorry but there are so long that I no longer uses rom samsung ... I would not make you do something stupid

---CAUTION - I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SGS, BUT I'LL TRY TO HELP---
Follow instruction here, this should work, but I haven't tested it.

That is because you are running a stock 3e/2e recovery. Download Rom manager on your device from the Android Market, allow SU permissions, select flash CWM and next time when you boot to recovery you'll be able to flash unsigned zip files.

Flashing clockworkmod problem

you are still on stock recovery,
i assume ROM manager will of created update.zip so what you need to do is select : apply sdcard:update.zip
you may need to do this 2-3 times before automatically going into CWM (you will notice the difference)

How to out from stock? Or how to fix and getting options like backup/restore .?
I changed the rom name to update.zip but also doesnt work.
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
arrrr....... im sorry i misread your post.
you dont have CWM at all. either try ROM manager again. or flash CF-Root / kernel thru Odin, that will give you 2e / CWM recovery which will allow you to flash the ROM.
You CANNOT flash ROMS with 3e (stock) android recovery

you can only install CWM via this method if your recovery is version 2e (or something like that)
if you want to be sure check your rom version and find a hacked kernel (speedmod or voodoo) with CWM and install it using the PDA box in odin nothing else (no pit, no modem etc) and make sure repartition is unchecked. I found this worked when others methods failed.
Yes its 2e
There is any method without odin?
Because iam.using linux.

I was having a few dramas getting CWM Recovery to run on the stock JVB Ginger ROM. I put in the CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS flash with Odin 1.3 a few times, but couldn't get my device to boot into it with 'three-buttons'. I then went into Settings/Applications/Development, turned USB debugging to ON, restarted the phone with 'three-buttons' and voila, away we went...

Are u on gingerbread ???? If so ull need to flash CWM 5 first and then flash ace gingerroot (both these files are present at androidflip.com just google it )...this should work try it...its important to have a custom.recovery like cwm4 or cwm 5..

You don't need root permission for installing CWM. You have to put the cwm file zip in your sd card, going to recovery,install zip, flash the zip. After this, you can reboot and goin to recovery for the root procedure.

You don't and also you should USUALLY only follow guides on xda
AOKP 4 LYF (possibly CM7 aswell)
It doesnt require root dude ....flashing cwm doesnt require root flashing roms does just do it already....
Hehe..yeah try to follow most guides frm xda but it never hurts to follow frm other sites ;-)

Put these files in your SDcard
I suggest you to fully charge your phone first.
Be sure your ace has an android version of 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7 [GINGERBREAD](this'll be a lot easier)
if your android version is listed above,
turn off phone,
Press Power+Home Button (release when Galaxy Ace Logo Appears), use volume keys to navigate,
select APPLY UPDATE FROM SDCARD,
select upd_1.zip
confirm
Phone is now rooted.
Installing CWM 5.0.2.6:
turn off phone,
Press Power+Home Button (release when Galaxy Ace Logo Appears), use volume keys to navigate,
select APPLY UPDATE FROM SDCARD,
select recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
confirm
Phone has now CWM flash recovery.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE GOT BRICKED.
Edit: This is exactly what I did in my Galaxy Ace

try to use superoneclick
1) Install CWM 5 ( Download zip, transfer to SD-card, turn off phone, boot phone while holding home button, install update from zip, and select the CWM 5 file )
2) Download the root zip file to your SD-card, make sure it's for gingerbread, and the good version for your phone!
3) In CWM choose Install package from zip, then select the root zip, then it will install really quickly, though, if you get an error Status 7 try another zip file! udp_1.zip didn't work for me.
4) Now your phone is rooted, root checker apps might say it's not but it is! I had this problem untill i installed CM 7.
Might post download links later, gotta go study for my exams now . If u need any more help PM me.

3. apparently by the status from the stock recovery it succeeded. BUUUT actually not...
so>
4. i got stuck into the samsung boot logo...
so>
5. i tried to flash cwm recovery through this steps provided by this tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190
6. I now got a black screen instead of any recovery. tried it also with the froyo version of the recovery (designed apparently specially for froyo devices) and also with the gingerbread one. still no joy....
now, i am really lost and have no further ideas.... please help me at least get this back to stock again (it is the phone from work and i will have a hard time explaining them that i bricked it.... )...
please advise what should i try further??
THANKS!!!!!

flashed cwm recovery - works with the steps from my first post now
flashing a custom rom from a zip on the sd card does not work afterwards!!!!!!! - it soft bricks phone again and i have to redo the 2 steps above.... why???
what am i doing wrong???
you didn't wipe data and cache before and after flashing process, right
now u have cwm recovery just boot into recovery and flash another rom... but before u flash rom make sure u clear cache and data from recovery menu then flash rom.
Guilty as charged!!
Trying it now and updating afterwards!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
if your flashing gingerbread over froyo without wiping cache and data then that's why your getting soft brick.
I flashed jb from odin, so no cache deletion needed...
But yes, for custom rom install delete cache data all except sd before!!
So now cyanogenmod is up and running!!

There are several threads on how to flash to JB, and coming from JB you have to flash to ICS first. Here is a good flash guide on JB->ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493 When you flash in CWM to ICS you'll get a "quick" installation (about 20/30% as you say) and then the device reboots to a "bootloop". This happens because change in kernel. You can just pull the battery after the kernel has been flashed and insert battery while holding down 3-button combo to force into CWM. Now run the .zip again and it should flash properly in the new CWM and kernel.

[Q] Custom ROM on STOCK Galaxy Mini?

Galaxy Mini running Android version 2.3.5 (Gingerbread)
How do I install this CM10.1 ROM on my phone?
I've rooted + flashed ROMs before on my i9100 but it appears the Galaxy Mini process is much different. Help is greatly appreciated!
Does the Mini have to be rooted prior to installing CWM or custom ROMs?
As far as I know I simply plug my phone into computer, download a CWM file and flash it to phone with Odin. Then I drag the CM10.1 zip file onto the phone and using the CWM recovery menu, flash the ROM?
Thank you in advance

I don't understand what you are meaning here. I asked in my original post the instructions for flashing CM10 onto my Galaxy Mini and whether or not the steps I outlined above are correct or if I am missing something.
Ya thats right, but u before must do hard reset, cache and dalvik wipe but i think u already knew that

First root it , then flash cwm tar file in odin as one package , and thej you can put custom rom on sd and go to cwm recovery wipe cache/data and cache partitation. Then just install the rom zip and there you go.
If you dislike the rom just flash another and if your tired off custom roms flash back stock rom
