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.
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
Also having problems installing from sd
* edit*
Nvm
Listen..I have a HTC One V and when I go in recovery mode it says E:Can't open...Then when i press Vol Up + Power Button a list of commands pops up but there is nothing saying install zip from SD card..And now it's stuck at the htc one screen i can't start it up \_/

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

Greetings everyone,
im new to this and im very very confused, i bought a galaxy note and i was able to flash the latest firmware ICS 4.0.3 (Open German), but what i cant do is rooting the phone, and what is the exact point im failing at is creating an SDcard folder on the internal memory, i dont have an external SDcard, and as i have read on other threads :
Step 1: Download the following files from the official thread [XDA-Developers]:
CWM.zip
SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Place all these files directly under /sdcard on your device’s internal memory.
Step 2: Shutdown your device. Once it is completely shut down, press and hold Volume Down + Power + Home buttons until you see a screen asking you to press to press Volume Up. Press said button to complete booting into Recovery Mode.
Step 3: Select apply update from external storage and then navigate to where you placed CWM.zip. Select it.
Step 4: Your device should now boot into ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery.
Step 5: From CWM, choose install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Step 6: From main menu of CWM, choose reboot system now.
If you followed the steps correctly, your Samsung Galaxy Note International GT-N7000 will now be rooted on Android 4.0.3 ICS.
all the steps seems to be easy, and i failed on creating sdcard folder on internal memory, i would appreciate your help.
thanks alot

You need to put the zip file in the root directory of the internal memory (internal SD card). Then in CWM you need to choose install zip from internal SD card not from SD card.

sorry for asking alot, but actually i dont know that much about androids, what i did step by step is,
1- downloading the files
2- open phone storage via my computer
3- pasted the files once the screen opened and created a file named sdcard and pasted the files there too just in case.
4- turned off the phone, pressed vol up+homescreen+power
5- apply updates from sdcard
and after that i wait a couple of seconds and a message pops in red says
E:/failed to mount /sdcard(no such file or directory)
i was never able to reach CWM.
if you could patiently and gladly post me a step by step what should i do, i will be very appreciated and thanks in advance.
thanks for helping

I guess you are choosing the wrong option from the CWM
On the first screen of CWM recovery
1. choose "install zip from sd card"
2. On the next screen click "install zip from internal sdcard"
3. then goto the folder you created and then choose the SU zip file
Hope it helps...

my friend, im not even able to reach CWM, my phone is not rooted, im trying to root my phone, i cant reach CWM. i just need a way to Root my galaxy note ice 4.0.3
Ok try this turn phone off, turn on and quickly
press volume up, home and power at same time untill phone boots again, this is tricky may need couple tries. This will launch recovery. From there choose install update from... By navigating with volume buttons you can choose install from. This opens the sd card, choose the folder where you downloaded cwm.zip to, navigate with volume button to it. Click power button to select., navigate to yes and watch it install, after install you can use touch screen to options described in your first post. This will install superuser. After that is done reboot. In applications there is superuser. You are rooted now.

I did everything you said exactly but I got only super now but no CWM! And when I access root by some application it says you need root.
Here is what I did
1. Boot into recovery
2. Select install from sd
3. Selected external sd
4. Choose CWM.zip
5. Confirm install
6. Now recovery booted onto CWM
7. Select sd card (internal)
8. Choose su busy box from root folder
9. Confirm installation
10. Reboot device.
Now I can only see busybox not CWM!!!!!

Ok progress, but not full root. Download speedmod kernel on your phone, the cwm flashable zip from developer thread k3.
Speedmod is prerooted, and should together with already installed superuser provide full root. ICS one is k3 thread. The k3-3 one is stable and relatively safe. Best batterylife too.
Now restart procedure with cwm.zip instal. In cwm install the speedmod kernel zip and reboot. Now you should have full root. Test it by rebooting, opening superuser and in preferences select update binaries. Allow superuser acces for superuser. Select update. It should pass everything.
Cwm recovery is now also installed, but not as a link within applications. You can access it by rebooting and volume up, homekey and power combo. Speedmod has the wipe functionality that can break your phone disabled, same goes for factory reset. If you want that in future install throught pc odin, see stickies development thread drKetans thread, and do it safely from gb, and not ICS.

You can download speedmod from the download lin in first post of this thread. Not the sourcecode, but from the download link.

No, do the cwm.zip install, easiest. Odin is safest always, but because of triangle and binary counter I recommend cwm.
Just dont do factory reset/wipe from cwm. Thats what triggers the hardbrick in 99% of cases. Only small number of cases by installing through cwm.

Did you test by updating binaries throught superuser preferences?
Actually, if you followed procedure you should have superuser and not supersu .

Best to reinstall throught cwm the superuser zip. And test root again

Need more info. Format type of internal SD? Drivers? OS? Etc...
Thank you for your reply. Are the above links given to give me a hand (stupid question certainly)?
Well, I am going to try to repair my tablet with a new SD card. But I need help right from the start.
Living in France, I suppose the right firmware must start with WW. I have downloaded all these firwares from Asus:
UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.27-user.zip, UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.29-user.zip, UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip, WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip, WW_epaduser_10_14_1_47_UpdateLauncher.zip, WW_epaduser_V11_4_1_17_updatelauncher.zip.
Which one should I use? What am I going to do next?
When I start it in flashboot mode, I get the message "Android Macallan-user BL released by "WW_epad_11.4.1.30-20150121"
Press ...

Well you should use the latest one which is UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip
I'm not sure what you are attempting to do? Are you saying that your internal data is not working or just not recognised by windows. If the later you probably just need to update your drivers on windows.
Have a search for the latest compatible windows ones for Asus.
my tablet is stuck in boot process. I did something wrong when deleting built-in apps, so I have to make a recovery.
I made some progress in the meantime. Connected the tablet to the PC, put the CWM boot.img in the fastboot folder, put Asus UL-K00C-WW-11.1.4.30 firmware on the SD card, started fatboot.exe and got the menu on the tablet (reboot system now - install zip - wipe data partition - ...), started install.zip.

Did you rename the stock firmware zip file to T4_SDUPDATE.zip and put the zip firmware file on the root of the EXTERNAL SD card and power on or restart your device. it should detect a firmware update. if it does not detect any firmware update after about 1 or 2 minutes or it boots normally, go into bootloader and select RCK from the menu with zip file on the external sd card.
it sounds like you were trying to install the stock firmware zip file through the custom recovery install zip option which will not work. TF701T is KOOC... also, make sure 100% that your Tablet is the WW version and not the TW or US version!

okay, since you have a custom recovery the zip file is not detected. CM and CWM recovery are not the same. you should be able to find an installable stock file somewhere or try another rom. As long as you have a working recovery installed then you should be good to go for any updates.
This is your best bet for near stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/development/rom-t2999102

Since I can use the tablet with CyanogenMod now, I am satisfied. The links you gave me above helped me a lot.
Thank you. I could not have made it without your help. Warm handshake.
Anyways, I have rooted this phone, done.
Now, I have the Cyanogenmod 12 Victara ZIP file onto my SD card, and ready to be installed..
*as well as gapps zip file in the same spot as the ^ file.*
I got a quick boot, *boots the phone into recovery at the click of a button* for earlier uses that just made it easier to go into recovery mode.
Now, I have the ROM manager, so I could boot into recovery and install the ZIP files that I wanted to be installed.
*BTW, this phone has 2.3.6 Gingerbread android on it.*
but when I click Reboot and install, it doesn't go into recovery mode, it just reboots.
Thats it! REBOOTS. omfg...
Okay, so, I now have a new idea on how to install the ZIP files. Just plainly booting the phone into recovery mode. okay! Easy!
buuuuuut of course when i do this, the android is like, so out of date that THERE ISNT A INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD BUTTON LIKE THERE WOULD BE ON ANY OTHER PHONE/TABLET.
omfgggggggg
It just says "apply update from SD card" tried that, just said no verifiable signature or something like that.
Then it says wipe data, cache partition and reboot.
Like, please, just someone help. The Motorola Droid x2 has so much potential and is just one of those phones that are only as good as the software they have.
