Clockwork problem - Captivate General

I used SuperOneClick to root my phone, and now I'm looking through the Captivate Guide to see what else I can do with an unrooted phone.
So I clicked "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery," and it was fine. I pressed "Backup Current ROM," but when I press "Okay," it restarts my phone to the blue menu. So I press "reset phone now," and I try to start from the beginning again. According to the guide, it says to restart it until it works. It's rebooting each time instead.
When I load up Rom Manager, under "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery," it just says
"Current recovery: Clockwork mod 2.5.1.2
Latest Recovery: Clockwork mod 2.5.1.2"
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using stock 2.2 Froyo and GO Launcher with Cartoon Theme (if that matters).

I used TRussel's method, but my phone still goes into the blue menu screen instead of showing me something else.

[Q] Help noobe flashing problem

I have been reading threads here and I can't find an answer to my question.
I have an ATT Captivate running ATT 2.2. I ran the super one click app and have superuser available for the apps. I have rom manager free edition but no matter what I try I cannot get it to flash the Clockworkmod Recovery. When I try to flash it I get the message that it's been succesfully downloaded but never get the succesful flash.
I've spent a big part of the day at this and can't figure out why this isn't working. ANY ideas would be appreciated.
TIA, Jeff

It won't actually be flashed to your device. It creates an update.zip file on your internal sd card. What you have to do to get into clockwork is turn your phone off, hold down vol up+vol down+power until you see the AT&T logo show up on the screen. When you see the logo show up, release power but keep holding the volume keys. This will take you into the regular stock recovery. Once you are there, select the 'reinstall packages' option. The phone should reboot, at which point, hold down the volume keys again to get back into the stock recovery. Once it boots into stock recovery for the second time, select 'reinstall packages' again and it should put you into clockworkmod this time around.
At one time in all my trying I've been thru this as well. When I select reinstall packages I get:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I really want to get away from this ATT 2.2. I waited for the ATT upgrade but since it still won't support bluetooth voice dial I'm going to go this route if I can get it to work.

It is a way to do it but Odin can easely brick a phone if not used right.
It's alot easier to just prompt the command (.bat) from our computer with our phone plugged in debugging mode and let it do its magic. Takes a few seconds and it's done

CWM: A thread of its own

OK, it goes without saying that to do rooting and flashing you need to have at least a basic understanding of the English language, a decent IQ and the ability to follow basic instructions.
However, with the CWM mod that's out there for this phone, there are dangers in trying to use for anything other than flashing. IMO, the problem is that those discussions are getting buried in long threads that were originally meant for other Subjects. I feel that CWM needs to have a thread of its on to benefit EVERYONE, especially the newbies. So I am starting it off with this simple instruction:
DO NOT TRY TO USE A ROM MANAGER AT THIS TIME! THE DEVS WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU CAN USE IT
ALSO; DO NOT USE CWM TO RESTORE AT THIS TIME YOU WILL BE BRICKED
#2 IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO CWM FROM START-UP TO FLASH A ROM - HOLD DOWN THE VOL UP BUTTON + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON, WHEN YOU SEE THE SAMSUNG LOGO, RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON.
TO END THE CONSTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE "GO BACK" MENU OPTION: SCROLL COMPLETELY THROUGH ALL MENU OPTIONS TWICE, THE GO BACK OPEN WILL THEN APPEAR
I ask the devs to post info. here even if it has been posted in one of the threads.
Forum Management FTW!
If one of the devs could throw up the file to flash CWM and the instructions, that might be helfpful as well.
Restoring currently has a bug that bootloops a device.
It should be noted that currently there is no go back option either. To enable this scroll through the menu 3x and select an option, go back will now appear.

If your are unable to get into recovery can you at least restore and Odin?

I have found pressing the vol up and vol down at the same time enables the "go back" option. It will state that it is enabled.
It will pop up when you select another option first.

On the Fascinate when you flashed CWM, Stock recovery would come up the first boot, then you would flash an update.zip that took you to CWM and you could flash a compatible kernel and you were on your way no more stock recovery. I don't know if something like this could work to get ppl unlooped or not, just throwing it out there.
And ShotgunSam you might as well add don't restore w/ CWM in your big red warning.

Well, I'm already stuck there, if your idea isn't too complex, I can try it out
I have one that was bricked for this reason. If anyone has any ideas I will test them out. I am good with adb shell and have been trying to figure out how to change the bootmode=7 which I think is the sdcard to 6 which I think is the nand. Can't find where the file is in the system because I can't boot. Or a signed update zip that boots Android of the sdcard like the hd2 might work.

Go to the epic 4g forums and in development you'll find a thread that contains an update.zip that will use cwm 3.0.2.x. adb push that update to your sd card or just transfer it. Flash jts cwm compatible kernel through odin then try applying the update.zip.
Just a theory. If cwm boots, you can then flash a rom and that may work.

Thanks OP for this tread. I agree 100%.
1) I think some "bootloopers" have had success entering download mode when their SD card was pulled.
2) Have any brickers/bootloopers tried the JIG method to force download mode?

3) Also, I *think* someone who had bootloops was able to clear his data/cache folder somehow/someway. And I *think* he was either able to stop the bootloops or at least get into download mode. But maybe I am thinking of something else here.
Would empty cache/dbdata/movinand.bin files be helpful for Odin? We could rip them out of one of the Fascinate Odin packages to be included with a "Restore to stock" Odin package. Based on the error I've seen of someone that tried to restore, it looks like /data is getting FUBARd and that's causing the problem, but it's not something I want to personally test since my phone is working.
Anyone having issues after a restore, please see if you have adb shell access. If so, please grab a logcat and post it here.

Hey All,
Just had my infuse for a week and no complaints about the phone so far. But I have been reading a lot on this forum and I want to get off this stocky phone and get a ROM on it and see how much better it will be.
I'm fairly new to this as I have never rooted or loaded ROM's before, so running into a lot of problems. Trying to root my Rogers Infuse with superoneclick which didn't work and ended up getting stuck in boot loop so used odin3 fix and got it up and running again and rooted phone.
I downloaded the 3e recovery and used root explorer to r/w in system/bin which is telling me to rename old recovery file but for some reason I don't have an original recovery file. So I just paste the one I downloaded and unzipped in the folder, use rom manager and flash cwm. Then when I get to cwm recovery to reinstall packages but that option is not available on screen.
Sorry guys I'm pretty struggling with this, I have been searching all over and starting to think I should just stick to stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance!!

this should give you the "reinstall packages" option that you are looking for, and selecting that twice will get you to green recovery.
or you could just flash any infusion froyo kernel with heimdall or odin and get directly to red CWM (which is where you generally want to be flashing zips from).

try starting fresh from stock, and following this video to get your modded 3e recovery. make sure you adjust the permissions like the video does.

whenever i need to (i say that because most of the time it isn't really necessary), i always go back to 100% stock, do a factory reset from settings (make sure the contents of your SD card are backed up), and re-root it using superoneclick (making sure USB debugging is on, and my SD card is mounted).
then, follow the youtube video for modded 3e recovery, making sure to adjust the permissions at the end. flash clockworkmod recovery again in rom manager (plain old galaxys i9000), and this should allow you to finally flash your ROM.
Yea going to give it one last try before I go to bed thanks!

UCKD5 is a Froyo AT&T-derived ROM - the bootloaders on your Rogers Infuse probably won't like it.
It looks like you eventually figured things out, but in general - the Rogers Infuse has different "back to stock" and "rooting" processes from AT&T devices due to it having stock Gingerbread and more specifically, Gingerbread bootloaders. Since far more people here own AT&T Infuses, the Rogers-specific threads tend to get buried on the 2nd/3rd pages of dev, and people here forget that Rogers devices are "special" when posting suggestions.

[q] do not use rom manager - help!

I read the posts, but maybe I did not understand?
I downloaded CWM and installed via the Android Market. Then I see the icon is named ROM Manager (whoops, is this already bad). I hit the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" button. Then I used up/down volume and power to boot into CWM and did a backup from there.
So am I screwed?
Is the backup good?
Can I use the CWM that I have as long as I boot into it?
Please, I have not been able to understand exactly what the "DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER" means. If I just boot is that ok?
I guess you can tell I'm new but I have a lot of software experience - just not in this environment - maybe I'm moving too fast for my knowledge (I think so now!).

As you can see, CWM is included in the kernel you flash, and thus there is no need for ROM manager. It doesn't play nice with this device anyway, and is just unnecessary imo.

So the OP is fine if he uninstalls Rom Manger even though he used it to flash CWM Recover? That seems a lot simpler then the cwm injected kernal method I just did.
Install rom manger, flash CWM, uninstall rom manger... flash roms all day. Would that work?

ROM MANAGER IS NOT CWM.
CWM is in the KERNEL (well, to be specific, in the initramfs of the kernel) on nearly all Samsung devices.
ROM Manager is an app that tries to install CWM, but FAILS to do so correctly on our device. CWM versions installed by ROM Manager DO NOT WORK PROPERLY on the I777.
ok heres the deal the cwm you booted into was probably rom manager cwm. so here are the next steps to take. question is are you using a custom kernel that has cwm installed? when you rooted your device did you have cwm installed? i also noticed you were using a skyrocket. when i rooted my wifes SR I did the all in one package. My opinion is just unistall rom manager and reflash cwm. then reboot into cwm and make a nandroid backup. although in theory your backup you did with rom manager is good forever unless you delete the file under /clockworkmod/backup.
miui+siyah = beast
OP, if you ****ed up probably the easiest step of the process(after all in one of the stickies it says DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER, as so), rooting your phone is not for you.
Either that or you're trolling.

Reading through this made me confused. But to the OP. Mod Manager is fine. You can use that to install CWM recovery. Just be sure to chose the T-Mobile SGSII version of CWM when it asks.
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE ROMS IN MOD MANAGER THOUGH. They are built for the SGSII phones. You can however use Rom Manager for all other options such as installing roms through SD, fixing permissions, and booting up into CWM, etc.

Using the stock kernel. I rooted with DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su. So I can do the uninstall and then reflash CWM. Do you have a URL handy for the reflash? Don't want to make another error.

Probably the part about what else he's supposed to do. If I knew, I'd tell him. I assume he should read the whole thread in dev about how to get CWM installed through recovery but I'm just a novice. You might have been more helpful but I see that a lot of you are too busy hanging out in in dark closets having sex with your phones... tin foil hats and all. I know it's a pain answering the same questions over and over. I've provided support on a lot of boards and on a lot of subjects. When I got tired of typing the same answers, I started keeping them all in a text file so I could copy and paste them, links and all. That way, the info is spread all over the place and new users don't have to resort to finding the single "needle in the haystack." I know the L33T (do they still use that term? It's been about 20 years since i've seen it... probably for the good) love to repeatedly type "DO A SEARCH." Why not just help. If you don't want to and only want to maintain being L33T... do it elsewhere. You serve no function other than stroking yourself. I hate the "slam the noob" mentality. We were all one at some point. Merry Christmas.
The confusion here is that the OP posted this in the i777 forum. The i777 CANNOT use Rom manager to flash recovery and they have to use a cwm injected kernel.
The OP needs to learn where to read about his phone and remember what model he has.

Rom Manager clockworkmod stuck at Flashing... 100%

Howdy,
I'm trying to flash ClockworkMod Recovery on my Verizon Galaxy S3, and it's having an issue.
I'm following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914
"- Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
- Find and select "Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon)"
- You'll see the blue bar at the top indicating progress, when it nears the end you'll need to Accept/Grant the app SuperUser permissions"
For me, it pops up a window, downloads something, and then says "Flashing..." and the blue bar in this box is at 100%, but it just gets stuck there and doesn't seem to finish.. I've let it sit for about 10 minutes and still nothing. I can press the back button and do the whole thing over again, but it just keeps doing the same thing.
Also, it never asks for SuperUser permission (I am rooted, and have SuperUser installed and bootloader unlocked.)
So, any idea why it's getting stuck here? Is it safe to reboot? would that help?

I'm still curious why Rom Manager wouldn't work though...
I had the same problem but all i had to do was open ez recovery and let it ask for permission, after that i went back to rom manager ad it worked fine.

I can confirm this, I just had to do this on a Samsung epic 4g touch (sprint galaxy s2)
for some reason the exact same thing worked for me. As soon as I opened ez recovery and granted it access. I reopened rom manager and it worked

Trying to flash CWM using ROM Manager (rooted Blaze t769 ICS). ROM Manager does not ask for permissions and says it is flashing thought it clearly is not (seems to be stuck at that point). Ez recovery at Play store says it is for Verizon S3. Do I understand that
if I install ez recovery and start it, it will ask for permissions and after granting it the permissions, I go back to ROM Manager and flash CWM? If I am in the wrong area, apologies. Thanks.
Others who are having issues installing cwm via rom manager, I had the same exact problem. Don't use the ez recovery fix for other.
IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE BADLY, ITS ONLY FOR SAMSUMG GALAXY S3.
Always remember, if its not stated as your device supported. Don't try it.
The reason why rom manager doesn't work in flashing is you have the free version, upgrade to premium and behold, it works like a charm.
