ROM Manager Reboot?

Slight issue here, not sure if anyone has had it before.
Just acquired a Captivate as an xmas gift to myself (sick of that iPhone), and began the whole process of getting a new ROM onto it. Rooted, installed ROM Manager, flashed a clockworkmod recovery (2.5.1.2), and hit "Backup Current ROM".
The device reboots into the standard recovery mode with the usual options (reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data).
No backup is made, and I just have to continue the reboot. I've tried flashing to an older version, clearing the download cache, and using the option to go to ROM Manager's recovery mode (just takes me to the default recovery boot).
Am I doing something wrong here? I followed all of the instructions step by step.

Try doing "reinstall packages".
Steps:
1. Copy the clockwork recovery "update.zip" attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
2. Reboot to recovery.
3. Select "reinstall packages".
4. It would say something like replacing recovery with clockwork recovery, and reboot into recovery. This happens only the first time u use this.
5. Select "reinstall packages" again.
6. You should be in clockwork recovery.

Good deal. Worked perfectly. Out of curiosity, do we know why the phone was doing this?

Ok. I'll explain to the best of my knowledge.
The zip I gave u is the most non-intrusive way of CWM. No ROM manager installer is needed on phone apart from placing this zip on sdcard root.
When the phone boots up, it loads the default recovery console. When we select "reinstall packages", it loads "update.zip" on the sdcard root by default. Since the update.zip we have there is the CWM zip, it loads it therby loading CWM console.
If u don't want CWM, just delete this update.zip.
Hope this helps.

I have this exact same issue ROM Manager is doing nothing but rebooting into recovery. So if I use your workaround, I need to keep this update.zip file on my device at all times?

Yes best to do so

All ROM Manager does is download the update.zip that was posted and put it on your SD Card. The other steps need to be done regardless.

I got the ROM backup working. I guess I was too impatient the first time. I cleared/moved a lot of stuff off my internal SD card too....doubt that it mattered.
But it works quite well.

[Q] Can't 'install zip from sd card' Help!

Hi all,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S I9000, but I don't have the stock Live Wallpapers.
Now I wanna install/do this:
"First place SamsungLWP.zip on the root of your SDcard (plug your phone into your computer and transfer the samsungLWP.zip to your phone's sdcard)
1. Go into rom manager and reboot into recovery
2. scroll down to install zip from sd card and press the power button
3. scroll down choose zip from SD card again hit power button
4. highlight signed SamsungLWPs.zip
5. Hit power button
6. Go back until you get to the reboot option I think back twice Reboot phone
7. go to personalize in setting options select htc wallpapers select live wallpapers and pick one to enjoy one"
I can't do the 2nd step, because there is no choice to select 'install zip from sd card'.
Can anybody help me?
I've got the stock rom (Froyo) and the phone is rooted.
Help would be appreciated

nobody?, I really need this now

did you fetch cwm?
The instructions assume you have CWM recovery (or a similar tool) on your phone.
In order to install programs in this manner you have to get CWM recovery. (search for rom manager in market and flash cwm (it's the first option from the top),
then again, I'm assuming you're getting this since you're still on 3e (the recovery most galaxy s phones come with). What I'd like you to do is get your phone into recovery mode and tell me what the very first line on the top says.

Hi,
The first line says: 'Android system recovery <3e>'

theres your problem you need recovery 2e
search for CWM in either update.zip or Flashable Odin version like cf-root.
if you get the update.zip version you need to put it on the root of your internal sd card, boot into recovery and select apply:update.zip you will need to do this twice... then CWM will appear and let you flash unsigned zip files.
if you use odin version just flash it in download mode and when you next boot you will have 2e recovery.

I just fixed it, I did put the 'data/app' folder onto my phone, and installed it, and it worked.
Thx everyone

There's your problem
You currently do not have the option to install (most) zip files from recovery. If you do want this option it is very possible and not too complicated(although this might void warranty) please read the forum guide on how to get CWM (clockworkmod)

I'm having a similar problem, but azzledazzle's suggestion left me a little baffled. I've got rom manager installed, Clockworkmod flashed and all that good stuff, but I'm still not able to install new roms. Now, I'm just about to try recovery mode, and...
Yes, 3e.
But how do I find a 2e thingie? Imagine I'm a gigantic moron who can put things in folders, but that's about it. I apologise for the pathetic help request, but if there's anyone...

Any help guys?thanks

Obviously you need to flash the latest custom recovery CWM. After that flashing zip will work.

[Q] Clear Install Android 4.0.4

Hi..
I want to clean install Android 4.0.4 OS on my Samsung galaxy s plus (GT-19001) device.
Clean install means that i 'll have to install OS from scratch. Does i need Micro USb Jig for this purpose?
I have below files.
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
4> CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4
Guide me in simple steps , i tried many times to install ICS (Android 4.0.4) but unfortunately unsuccessfull each time.
Why it didn't work for me?
I have tried in many ways. Thanks in advancee

Hey,
Could you tell me what was unsuccessful about the install? Did it stop installing, did it bootloop, so on so forth?
But this is how I flashed CM9 onto my I9000, and I know that the I9001 is very similar so...
1.) You've got CWM, sweet. Boot into recovery. Make a bckup of your data through the option provided.
2.) Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache. The first two are pretty simple to do, the last one is under "Advanced" settings.
3.) Now that you've got that, select "Install zip from SD". Navigate to where your CM9 file is. Select and confirm. Wait for it to flash in...
4.) At this point you might get a recovery bootloop. Don't panic here- just take out the battery, reinsert. Reboot into recovery. You should see that your recovery has been updated.
5.) Reselect the rom from the "Install zip from SD" option. This time it should start flashing in. Wait for it to finish, then it should reboot normally. Be patient as it boots up for the first time.
6.) Once you've done so, reboot into recovery again but this time select the gapps zip.
Unless the I9001 is different in a major way in terms of installing, that should work. I'm not quite sure...
Hope I helped

Hi.
I just started with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 and placed all above mentioned files/packages into the device internal SD card.
That's what i did :
1). Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
2). After reboot, i came up again in Recovery mode using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 application.
3). Now installed cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It took hardly 4 to 5 seconds and displayed a message that it completes . no flash screen or anything came up and reboot.
4). After that installed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It displayed same complete message but within 5 to 8 seconds i think.
5). I Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache after above step and then again repeat the process.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Now when i try to start my device then each time it comes into the CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4' s recovery mode.
Ask please i have tried too many things with it but yet not soft bricked.
I am able to switch into Download mode.

Perfectly simple guide! Thanks.:good:
The only thing I want to ask - what is the backup you have mentioned in point 1)? Is it back up of your personal data, or is it back up of your current ROM?

Hey man, glad I made it simple
Yeah, its a backup of your whole rom I believe- system apps, system files, all your downloaded apps all your data, so on so forth.
Helps you get back to what you were running before in case something goes wrong during installation.

Hmmm... Okay, I see...
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4? Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
Again, hope I helped

hi .
i am trying to give answer in point:
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4?
-> yes i t was exactly CWM 5.5.0.4.
Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
-> Could you elaborate the above sentence please? As long as i understood I initially installed CWM recovery through recovery mode by holding +Vol + Power+ Home.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
-> Yes i have been reverted through Odin Stock Gingerbread. How to root again? Could you please enlist in points?
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
-> I don't think it's a bootlooping situation. When i start my device , It dispays CWM recovery screen each time even after the sucessull completion of CM9 and gapps,
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
-> I tried it many time right now and 2-3 months ago too but it took almost 20 - 30 seconds in first attempt.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
-> I tried through Wipe and with it but could start my OS. Instead it display everytime a CWM screen.
=================================================================================================
In last , i did below steps :
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.

Go into the cm10 thread by ivendor in developement section and in the middle of the 1st post is a download link for cwm 6.0.1.9. Flash it in recovery and reboot. The Problem should be gone.
Had the same issue.
Hope i helped

Hi Markey.
Do you mean that I 'll have to get CM10 and CWM 6.0.1.9 and then installed with same approach as i aforesaid?
Elaborate please if i misunderstood. Thanks

No i meant that you can install everything like in your guide and after that you install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot, then you should be in recovery and then you have to reboot your phone and it should start normally
This solved it for me
Hope i helped

That's what I understood now:
0.5) Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
1) Boot into CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 Recovery mode.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot
10) Then install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot.
It could be solution, i will try and 'll tell at today night (after 6 hours).

It should be the right way but you can skip step 5 and 9

Dear Markey,
Whyn't should i start from cwm 6.0.1.9 rather than CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 .
Should i require to check from it or not? cwm 6.0.1.9 support cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip ?

You could try it out and tell me back

Ok, then flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=861538&d=1326841043 in recovery, reboot and tell me back if it works
Or you could try this way if the other isn't working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928219&d=1330695090 its the stock recovery, flash it in recovery and reboot and tell me back. I think you should first try stock recovery and then the other file. Sry for the wrong order
Hope it will work again

I mean that you have to install them via recovery with install update from sd card or with install zip from sd card -> its called flashing
And i meant that you have to install the first file first and reboot and if its not working when you reboot then install the stock recovery and then the problem should be solved. But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
Hope i could help

Markey,
I did the same as you are saying and got the above error on each file.
Could you explain the below linw please ?

But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
What i 'll have to do now?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which recovery do you use?
Cwm or stock recovery?
If you use stock then you have to reboot without installing one of the files and the problem should be solved
I meant that if you want to install another kernel or custom Rom you have to install the cwm recovery because its better then stock and after installation of the Rom or kernel you have to reinstall the stock recovery
If you don't understand i'll write you a guide for what you have to do

problems with rooting my phone

i used this guide:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.co.il/2011/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-popmini.html#.UVQo5Bcqzj4
but i read in the comments that i can use the zip only with stock recovery.. and i have CWM recovery.
i tried to get back to stock recovery, but failed.
anyway to root with CWM?
thanks

Here's another way to root your phone. First,download the latest version of superuser in a flashable zip(google 'superuser downloads'). Then place the zip in your phone's sd card. Go to cwm recovery and select 'install zip from sd card'. Before this you might want to back up your rom,just in case something goes wrong. After that go to choose zip from external sd card and find the zip. Install the zip and when installation finished reboot. Your phone will be rooted after doing this.

try to go to galaxy mini themes n apps thread,and search best roots apps,thread by the alchemist...

Try flashing a custom rom in your phone They usually comes up with a super user access (it means that you are rooted )
