Trouble with stock recovery

I recently reflashed my Nexus One to stock in order to update to 2.2. However, I am having an issue with the recovery image. I flashed stock recovery.img but when I boot into recovery I only get the yellow ! inside a tringle and the android logo. No text comes up and I have to pull the battery to restart the phone.

The Yellow ! inside the triangle is the stock recovery. Press the volume up and power button and you will see the option to apply the update.zip of froyo that's presumably on the root of your sd card

The triangle comes up when I try and add the frf72 andfrf83 and everytime the upgrade is aborted. where does it show you the current recovery that is on the phone?

Like he said, it IS the stock recovery. Read the update it's frf50 -> frf83, not frf72 -> frf83.
As far as I know it will only update an update.zip, so you wouldn't be able to have two of the same file name on the sdcard.

Correct I wouldn't have 2 update.zip on the card. if i am correct it goes erd79 to ere27 then you can upgrade to frf50 > frf72 and finally frf83. But I cant even for an update to ere27, nor can i update it from frf50 to 72 or 83 manually. And I do believe I have the stock recovery image installed.

ok.....finally got to FRF83 but then when I root my device is useless. works great without root.
How do I root FRF83?

uh oh....trying to put in a rom

Ive been flashing roms for some time, though this is my first attempt on the captivate.
Followed the instructions np.
Using rom manager backed up my stock rom.
made sure it saved to sd.
used titanium made sure all apps were backed up.
downloaded cogs newest version.
opened rom manager selected flash for captivate.
turned phone off.
rebooted into rom manager
wiped phone via directions.
selected cog via sd card
now Ive been sitting at the installing update window for roughly 20 minutes without the progress bar moving at all...
any advice?
I did just do a battery pull and it seems that im back to att stock. No rom.

ive just tried running it again and I just sit at installing update...
I did have ryan zas oclf on prior and I dont know if I removed. however since Im back to stock now shouldnt it be gone?
Wouldnt be able to prevent it now would it?

Been there done that
Usb debugging, enable it
Simple mistake man, no big deal
From a phone

Well turning on usb debug wasnt it but i did reinstall oclf and it shows its still active batteries just to low to remow waiting...

Ok any othet ideas? Oclf says its not inthe one running its a different one. Guess ill try to reflash agafin and install anyone else got an idea?

Finding
opening
installing
then it just sits forever
anyone?

Try to download the file again, it may have been corrupted during download
Edit...not clear are you booting into recovery, selecting the rom zip file, etc or actually rebooting phone and going into rom manager?
You need to boot into recovery and select the zip there if you are not doing it that way

Correct im in recovery and selecting it.

Download the stock ODIN 1 click and flash that then re-root and install ROM manager and then flash COG

sadly ive done this also.
used odin one click last night went back to stock then rooted again and tried and it still just sat at the installing line for an hour.
something is not working and I cannot figure it out.

1. make sure you move the zip (as you downloaded it, don't unzip) to the root of your sdcard.
2. open rom manager, flash CWM if you haven't already.
3. using rom manager, backup your current stuff under a name you'll recognize
4. turn off phone. boot into recovery
5. if it shows the 2e or 3e recovery, choose the 2nd option: "install update.zip", this should open up CWM recovery
6. from CWM recovery, go down to "install zip from sdcard"
7. then: "choose zip from sdcard"
8. then you select the zip that you moved to your sdcard in STEP 1.
that should do it.

every step done. Even a odin flash to stock prior. Locks up every time at installing update, it will sit there all night.

Thought I was reading on Cog's latest build a few people having issues installing using the latest ROM Manager and CWM.
I think this is the older version of the update.zip and maybe it will install Cog.
Also you can bypass the whole rooting/dowloading ROM Manager prior to flashing if you use this update.zip.
Odin 1-Click back to stock.
Put in the update.zip to your SDCard
Reboot into recovery.
Run the update.zip under recovery.
It will do a short reboot back to the screen.
Run it once more and you should be in Clockwork Recovery advanced menu.
Attempt to install the Cog.zip again and see if it works.
Unfort I'm running Assonance's latest build and didn't run into any issues.

Going to try it in a bit.

Check out the wiki thread for adam's Axura ROM. The process should be the same, just use the ROM of your choice. I'd try another download/different ROM, there may be an issue with your download, or a bug in the ROM possibly?

I screwed up before by forgetting to move the zip to the root of my sdcard. I don't quite understand why this is necessary, but I can confirm that it is.

Two suggestions - not sure if you've already attempted these.
1. Have you tried flashing an older version of Cognition? Possible that there is just something silly about your setup that is preventing you from flashing this specific version.
2. Along the same lines, have you tried flashing to Cognition using one of the Odin flashable ROMs? I'm personally a bit mystified by these, but I'm just a wimpy Mac user.
Older versions of Cognition here.

The version of CWM rom manager downloads should be okay. A master clear and stock fhlash should help

[Q] Can't get into Clockworkmod (i9000m)

Hi,
I really need some help as I began to get crazy about this.
I also have to mention it's my first time into Root/Mod/Custom/etc...
I Have a GT-I9000M (BELL) with Android 2.2 (version FROYO.UGJK4) Kernel 2.6.32.9
I successfully Rooted the phone with Superoneclic (Have Super User app in menu)
I Installed Rom Manager 3.0.0.0 Then authorized sudo when prompted to do it.
After that in the recovery menu of Rom Manager i've downloaded the Clockworkmod thing. (2.5.1.2)
I've tried to boot into clockworkmod but I got the standard Recovery Boot from Samsung instead. (tried to re-install rom manager to see if work but no)
I also tried to install it by using the update.zip version got here http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 and put it at the root of the internal sd.
Booted into the Samsung Recovery Boot and press apply Update.zip then i got
the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborded
(Tried Twice still nothing new)
The goal of all this is to install Darkys_v6.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Voodoo_signed seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
What do I do wrong???? Help me please i'm tired of the Android Froyo version from Samsung+Bell

To get ClockWorkMod compatibility, you need to use ROM Manager to start them.
This way, Voodoo recognize it's CWM recovery, intercept the call to the update.zip and install Ext4 wrappers.
If the new version is not yet available in ROM, be patient

I found the recovery app doesn't work very well. I suggest installing a kernel with CWM , that's compatible with Bell hardware? via Odin and you're good to go. From recovery menu you can do anything, including a full backup.

It is not the first time i heard about 2e recovery and cwm

You can find the thread called 'CFroot' at the android development section.
Download the correct version based on your current firmware and follow the instructions there. When you are done, your recovery would be 2e.

Sorry dude, the only solution would be to flash to an Eclair ROM (which by default has a 2e recovery) or flash Froyo which is supported by CFroot.

I have the same issue as well. Wanted to try Darky's v6.0 rom, however stucked in getting to CWM since I'm on 3e. I did look at CFRoot, but nothing stated for JK4.

This Might Work.... Although I Have A Different Phone (Cdma Hero), But Had A Similar Issue....
The Way I Was Able To Correct My Problem Was To Re-Install A Older Version Of "Rom Manager" (Let Me Know If You Have or Need A Older Version, I Keep'em All Now!! Lol!!
Also In "Rom Manager" I Would Try To Flash Alternate Recovery, And Then Clockwork Recovery Right After!! Make Sure It Says *Current Recovery* -And- *Latest Recovery* (Up At The Top) Then Try To Boot Into Recovery!!

Fresh Start
Ok well I got a good night of sleep so i'll resume where I am
I learned yesterday the following:
CMW: Clockworkmod
OCLF: One Clic Lag Fix
Now what I could try is to get back to Original Firmware of the GT-I9000M (Eclair) and from then what I've understood is that I don't need 2e recovery? Am I right?
From then I could install Darky without anything.
By going back this way will i'll stay root of will I have to root again?
If all this is right, how do i go back to eclair? can it be done via the 3e recovery menu or I have to flash? Is so I don't know anything about odin and the way it work so i'll need your help loll

here's what I did now:
Used Odin and Flashed my firmware to the previous one (2.1 Eclair.UGJH2)
Re-rooted
Re-installed Rom Manager
When in recovery mode i see 2e but it's the recovery from Samsung. Can't see the CWM......
Think i'm pretty close compared to yesterday from Darky 6.0 but STILL NEED CMW lolll
Fist timer Root and Flash never easy lolll

OK GUYS GOOD NEWS!!!!
Don't know what I did but CWM WORK NOW!!!!
What i've read somewhere is to never open the zip files (what i did). Got the idea of flushing them and download it again. This time it worked.
Gonna let you know when running Darky

----!!!!WORKING!!!!----
I Have Darky 6.0 Running on my Bell GT-I9000M!!!!!
First I want to thanx everyone of you who helped me out! You've been a great help.
Also I want to get the summary of my actions so Others could take advantage of this thread.
-Froyo version FROYO.UGJK4 (that is the official GT-I9000M update from BELL Mobility) was painfull to do anything so I downgraded to the eclair.UGJH2 (that is the Original Firmware from Bell)
First I've Rooted my phone using Superoneclic 1.5.5.0 that you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 (enable debuging mode on the phone in Settings-applications-developpement-debuging) then plug the phone and on superoneclic press ROOT...wait and follow indications
Then went to ODIN 1.7 that you can find here
http://www.general-search.com/fileinfo/20192867
You can find the BELL 2.1 firmware
here http://www.multiupload.com/ZNBT2RY5Y0 Password is samsung-firmwares.com
In odin i've used the 512.pit file (place it in the Pit section)
Then placed the 2.1 Firmware in the PDA section.
Took care Repartition, auto-reboot, F.Reset Time check box was check.
Booted in download mode (to get it right with odin i've booted in recovery first: Vol Up+Home+Power when bootscreen appear released it. After Pressed on Reboot now and immediatly pressed Vol DOWN+HOME+Power) I GOT THE BIG YELLOW LOGO OF ANDROID and in ODIN i got the Yellow icon appeared.
At this moment I've pressed START in odin and waited. The phone was acting like when updating through Kies.
When finished I was on ECLAIR
After, I've Re-Rooted the phone with superoneclic again.
Installed Rom Manager
Downloaded the CMW (CLockworkmod) that you can find here:
http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 (DON'T OPEN THIS ZIP BECAUSE IT WILL BREAK THE SIGNATURE NEEDED TO VALIDATE THE FILE)
I've placed the update.zip file (CMW) at the root of the internal SD Card of the phone and rebooted into recovery mode. I went on the apply update.zip (first time it was not working, then second time it worked)
At this moment I was on Android 2.1, Rooted, and CWM Recovery was working.
To Install the Darky's v6.0 Gingerbread Edition, I've downloaded it here:
http://www.multiupload.com/YPQVS4WO9C (ONCE AGAIN DON'T OPEN THE ZIP)
I've placed it at the root of the phone (same place than update.zip)
Opened Rom Manager, and selected Install a Rom from SD Card.
I've selected the zip File and applied it.
Phone went into recovery mode by itself then started installing Darky. (took like 5 minutes but it is said to be between 5-10 minutes so...)
HURRAY I'M ON DARKY CUSTOM ROM!!!!
PS: (at boot screen GT-I9000M will change to GT-I9000), Boot Screen Animation will also change for the Nexus One Boot animation.
Took me a day and half from Noob to This but hope other Bell user (or SGS user) will find their solution here.
Now let me alone I have to play with my new toy lolll

Just got back home. I will follow your footsteps. Do you have 850 mhz band ?
You with Bell ? Any problem making and receiving calls using Darky's rom ?

Followed your steps. Now I'm running Darky's v6.0 rom.

Even if it's a Bell phone, i'm using it on rogers.
I don't have any band problems(yes i have the 850 band). In fact, since i'm on Darky it look like if the wifi and phone antenna is far better. I got reception in places i wasn't before...and can even say GPS lock my position accuratly in less than 10 sec
Everything is.better since darky run on my phone

Hey, can you please clarify the ODIN steps? I have the exact same problem seen here.
I've completed up until where you put the phone in download mode. I set up ODIN as described, then connected my phone via USB, then enetered Download mode - but I only get a yellow icon on the phone, not in ODIN. Have I gone wrong somewhere?

Ok, below im going to suggest two different ways to accomplish this.
Before you try this, if you are currently on 2.2 you will run into a 3e security error when in recovery. This process must be done from 2.1 or you must use the 3e security work around if attempting from 2.2. Which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
For me, its easier to use odin and flash back to 2.1 and then load the rom from there than to mess with the whole recovery thing.
How To: Install clockwork recovery.
DOWNLOAD THIS FILE FIRST THEN FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW.
FILE: http://www.mediafire.com/?ve234hbg64ctcu0
1. Go to the download folder and rename clockworkrecovery.zip to update.zip. Mount your phone and drag the update.zip file into the root directory. It is ok to overwrite the update.zip you used before. When it is done copying turn off your phone.
2. Unplug your phone and hold down both volume buttons and the power button until a strange menu with blue items pops up. This is called the recovery menu.
3. Scroll using the volume buttons to the menu item titled "reinstall packages" and press the power button to select.
4. Your phone should restart and you should be at a green menu which is clockwork mod. Do whatever you need to do from here.
Let me say, this is probably an older version of CWM because I pulled it from this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
It should work fine for flashing all 2.2 based roms but I do not have any say for the 2.3 roms as Ive never tried.
2nd way. Use odin to flash a kernel that already has the CWM recovery installed. This is a little more complicated than it sounds as some kernels are not compatible with some roms and you must check that before flashing. If you choose this method, you need to go find a kernel that works and understand how to use Odin before trying.

[Q]Unable to flash Cyanogenmod from rooted I9000XXJW4

Hi,
I'm having a major issue with not being able to flash roms using clockworkmod for some strange reason.
I decided to move from MIUI rom because every time I gave it a chance when new versions came out, it constantly let me down with countless bugs and such. So, I've decided to go back to modified stock ROMs as they seem more reliable.
When I attempted to flash using clockworkmod (that comes with MIUI) it failed to apply the new (non-MIUI) ROM and forced it to go into a bootloop which knackered up going into recovery, so my only other option was to go into download mode and flash a stock ROM (I chose the latest, I9000XXJW4), root it, flash cyanogenmod and try again.
But unfortunately this did not work and now I'm stuck on the stock ROM.
I've taken a video of the exact moment it all goes wrong. Also, below is each step taken of the process.
youtube.com/watch?v=EmZAZ3DeL2U
1) Download Samsung Value Pack (I9000XXJW4) and CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS
2) Galaxy S rebooted to download mode
3) Used Odin3 1.85 to apply JW4_JW4_JW4.TAR file to the PDA section. Re-Partition is not checked.
4) Allowed the device to reboot to the home screen.
5) Powered off the device and booted back to download mode
6) Used Odin3 1.85 to apply CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.TAR to the PDA section. Re-Partition is not checked.
7) Allowed the device to reboot to the home screen (The video begins now).
8) Launched the CWM application (with root permissions) and rebooted to Recovery.
9) Wipe data/factory reset selected and confirmed
10) Wipe Dalvik Cache selected and confirmed
11) Format /system selected and confirmed
12) Install zip from SD Card, Choose Zip from sdcard and update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip selected and confirmed.
13) Here is an extract from the log that follows before rebooting:
- Finding update package...
- Opening update package...
- Installing update...
- Checking state of BML/MTD...
14) Self-Rebooted
15) Boot-loop
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy

when it bootloops it does it cause it just flashed the kernel and its trying to run the stock rom on the cynogen kernel. so pull the battery, put it back in. reboot into recovery and flash the rom again. it should work the second time cause its using the cynogen mods version of cwm recovery. let it boot it will take a while. but that should work.
dont forget to hit thanks!
