P.S... also....I heared about "gapps"...what is it and do I need it at all? When is the official 2.3.x (gingerbread) coming from Tmobile? I just want GB on my g2x
make sure u flashed clockwork recovery via NVflasher to TRULY gain a mod recovery. I always put the roms I wanna flash onto my phone's memory and NOT the microSD card. maybe that'll help.
Looks like a corrupt download. Delete the zip and try downloading again.

Thnx for the reply. I tought I heard to have the ROMS in external memory card. Cuz, for example that's where clockworkmod backs up your nandroid.
Where do you place the ROMS(most roms have like 3 files in a compressed zip format.......i.e example.....the eagleblood ROM name is EagleBlood1.04.zip when u download it....inside the zip, theres two folders.....META-INF and "system".....a file called "boot.img" and another one called "installbusybox"...so where in the internal phone memory do u put the whole zip folder......?
put the WHOLE rom.zip on your memory. don't unzip anything.
+1 on the post above. redownload the rom and try flashing again.
after you flash the rom, flash gapps (this is the installer that includes market, gmail, etc.) You need it in order to get access to the market
Your steps should be as follows
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Dalvik cache
3. Flash Rom
4. Flash gapps
5. fix permissions
6. reboot
EDIT: and don't unzip anything. Place the WHOLE eaglesblood.zip file on your SD Card

They all say the same....I got them from the cyanogenmod website......even Eagleblood1.04 from here.
funny thing i noticed tho, after I tried installing a rom, but of course it fails, I connect the phone to USB, go to external memory card, try to open the ROM zip file, it wont open....says "X:\EagleBlood1.04.zip The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"
Maybe it gets damaged or currupted during the time its trying to flash the files to the phone???

thanks....where do I get gapps and how do i go about installing it....I need to install it AFTER sucessfully flashing a rom, right?
Kinda new to the whole android thing, but not to modding devices...I started it when I got the $500+ moto RAZR when it came out, the psp, wii, ps3, itouch, etc. enuff about me....lets stay on topic
hehe me too, started with my verizon razr as well.
You can get gapps from here:

If you have clockworkmod, long press to bring up recovery reboot, select backup and restore, backup. Or dl rom manager premium and backup from there. Hope this helps!

No this don't help rather.
I have tried everything.
And I have also Titanium Backup, but ClockworkMod does a complete backup of a system so if you are a developer and backup everything when something goes wrong you have a backup

[Q] Still can't flash

O.k. so I've rooted , then downloaded the 3e recovery that bypasses the signature thingy (the one linked from gtg's post), opened it, put it in the system/bin, replacing the old one, made sure the files set to r/w, downloaded the latest rom from gtg, used clock work to reboot. It reboots, comes up to the new menu, and fails at the "install from package..."for "failed to verify whole-file signature. then under that it says "signature verification failed" tried the "reinstall packages" from the menu and get the same thing. anyone have any ideas?

Ah you didn't mention if you set the permissions on the new recovery. if you haven't I think this is what is keeping you from flashing. watch the tutorial video on it. GL

Just curious if you ever tried doing this from the new clockwork menu you say you have.. Before you try to update package, or install zipfile delete/format the "Cache", Dalvik Cache and the "Data" from the Advanced menu then restart the phone into recovery mode and then try to install the new rom zipfile and so on.
Perhaps you are one of the unlucky ones who downloaded a damaged rom zipfile, you could re-download and try that too..
Stranger things then this happened to me many times.......
ok thanks for the advice, Ill try that

Make sure if u can download on wifi network any hiccups in dl can corrupt, if we don't get you going tonight I'll help u after work tmrw
ok, so I re-downloaded the clockwork, re dl the captivate is9000, re dl'ed the whole rom file, re dl'ed the 3e recovery. still the same result. when I open rom manager and select reboot in recovery, It reboots, and as the menu is coming up it fails without me pressing anything. So at the top, it has the blue letters that say "reboot" install package" and such, and below that in yellow letters it says" looking for package...found package....installing package...then failed in red letters with the signature verification failure notice. I made sure the recovery was in the system/bin and has permissions and is in r/w mode. also the rom is in internal sd not external. I give up! , the stock rom isnt that bad. thanks for the help though, if you think of any other ideas, lemme know. Jim

[Q] (Q) Problems flashing ROM with ROM manager

OK please don't flame the noob for asking a question....
I'm trying to flash a new ROM onto my Infuse 4g. For some reason when I try to flash to a new ROM it either fails to load the new ROM or it doesn't seem to load anything. What am I doing wrong?
I rooted with superoneclick, I have backed up with titanium backup, and downloaded ROM manager. I've downloaded roms either on the XDA forums or right inside ROM manager. When I pick a phone in ROM manager I pick Galaxy S i9000,
I am currently flashed to ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2, If I try to flash to another clockworkmod it says "an error occurred while downloading your recovery".
I have tried a couple different ways.
I also tried to place the new rom file in the internal SD card and used the update method. When I try that it start to install the new file then fails about 30% in with an error.
What am I doing wrong?
which rom are you trying to flash?
Need to know that before steps can be given.
Galaxys i9000 is the correct clockworkmod.
Sounds more like ROM manager is just having server issues...

I have tried to flash to a couple different roms.
infusionGB-1.1 from here, I tried MIUI and darkyROM from Rom manager.
When I tried the update.zip method it said "Failed to read whole file".
Truthfully I figure I'm a noob and I overlook something stupid. Also I'm not picky as to what I flash to, I'm just trying to learn to flash period.

Have you tried installing Infused 2.2.3 ? It's based on the Gingerbread from the Rogers Infuse.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
Follow each step:
1) You must be rooted.
2) If you have a /Voodoo folder on your internal SD card, delete it and reboot.
3) If you're already running a custom ROM with Voodoo lagfix FULLY enabled, you can skip to step 7.
4) Download ( CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip if you're on Froyo ) or ( CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel.zip if you're on Gingerbread ) and place it on your internal SD card.
5) Install SGS Kernel Flasher from the Market.
6) Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
7) If you're on Froyo, you must now install a file explorer like Root Explorer from the Market and use it to delete the file /system/bin/recovery. You will need to hit the "Mount R/W" button in Root Explorer before it will let you delete it. I can't stress this enough... you MUST MUST MUST delete that file before continuing or else you will get boot loops!
8) Now install ROM Manager from the Market and open it.
9) Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and choose "Galaxy S i9000".
10) Now go to "Download ROM", select my section (gtg465x), select the latest Infused V2 release, and hit the download button.
11) At the "Installation Type" prompt, select full.
12) Select the addons you wish to install and then wait for ROM Manager to download the ROM. There is a note at the bottom of this post about which addons are not compatible with each other.
13) When you get to the "ROM Pre-Installation" prompt, you MUST check "Wipe Data and Cache" unless you're coming from Infused V2 BETA 1.
14) Press OK. Your phone will reboot and automatically install the ROM. Just sit back and relax.
15) Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.

First off the only rom straight out of rom manager you can flash is gtgs without helllraiser second when you download cwm witch 2.5 is right boot into recovery click re-install packages do this twice you should now have cwm recoverey then download the rom you would like following that ops directions and you should be fine
Holy MIUI Batman!
Thank you. It worked great!
Easier to just Odin/Heimdall a CWM-enabled kernel.
That way you never have to deal with "green" CWM.
BTW, once you have installed a custom ROM and enabled Voodoo Lagfix, NEVER use "green" CWM - it'll softbrick you.

I'd also try romtoolbox or titanium backup to do your backups.. Don't flash your ROM in your phone, do it from recovery only.
I am kind of confused as to what you are doing. Are you making custom ROMs? If you are just wanting to install new ROMs, boot into recovery and clear data and cache (AFTER BACKING UP!, make a nandroid if you'd like) Flash the .zip from recovery!!! NOT from a program after your phone has fully booted.
In other words - don't use rommanager to boot a new rom.
Romtoolbox has a nice boot to recovery feature so you dont have to hold the buttons down, among several other fantastic tools.
I personally use Titanium backup for my backups however. (romtoolbox for everything else) - you can find both these programs free in play store.
Other things to note-
- Make sure your phone is rooted properly.
- Check your download source of the ROM and download it again.
