Put this on your internal SD card along with your ROM of choice. Reboot in to recovery and install packages 2 times. The second time it will be in clockwork recovery and you can flash your ROM.

I just had the same problem after doing countless ROM flashes in the past. Perhaps its something in their server preventing the download of CWM? Anyways, thanks for the .zip. Worked like a charm!

yes thank you very much for that zip u saved my life well appreciated

Keep that .zip on your HDD and you can bypass Rom Manager (and all the associated problems) altogether.

I have my phone rooted and unlocked. It's the AT&T Captivate but I'm using it on T-Mobile. I've had no problems so far with it.
I downloaded Clockwork's Rom Manager (v3.0.0.7) and tried to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to begin experimenting with ROMs.
When I click on that it tells me "An error occurred while downloading your recovery."
I have over 4 gigs of memory left and I have 3 bars on 3g and WiFi going. No internet connection problems (i checked the net using market and using the browser, it works fine.)
What else could be causing the problems.
I'm just wanting to get a good stable rom going which ditches all the junk AT&T put on the phone.

Read the above solution...

I Can't get the update.zip file to work. After I reinstall packages is says E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or derectory) Installation aborted. I've tried it probably 20 times today with no luck.

Thank You
Nothing like flashing to find out it wasn't working. Thanks for making my day go better.

Noobie Mistakes
Just like everyone in this forum I'm having the same problem, I followed your instructions posted, but every time I reinstall packages in recovery mode a whole list of new problems comes up..... see below.
---Install from sdcard---
Finding update package...
Opening update package....
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
PLZ Help.......
Thanks

i have been fight this same thing for 2 days. im going to try the update.zip he posted i hope it works

if the update.zip is already on your /sdcard/ then there is no reason to try and download/flash clockwork recovery.....thats what the update.zip IS

thats what i thuoght but not true. even goin in normal recovery and selecting to install packages gets a error some about no such directory or something even though updat.zip is there even fix permissions gives a error

I'm having the exact same problem. After reading the development section I have decided to flash a custom rom from my stock rom. Installed "Rom manger" from market, then tried to run the "recovery" got the same error msg. Also uploaded the update.zip to my /sdcard the I got the below errors:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Did you flash back to stock JF6 first not JI6?

try this cuz this is what i did and the update.zip worked just fine for me
1. one click back to stock jf6
2. master clear
3. root with galaxy s one click root
(after the root there should be an update.zip in your sdcard)
4. replace the update.zip in the root of your sd card with the one here posted which is the clockwork recovery one and if you want while u do that you can throw in the rom that you want to flash in there as well to kill 2 birds with one stone
(i will re post the update.zip for cwm just in case)
5. power off the phone and boot into stock recovery and hit reinstall packages two times
6. you should now be in clockwork mod recovery and can now flash the rom of your choice
this is what i did and everything went smoothly but this is just me if this helps someone else plz let me know if this works for you
p.s. i will make a video if needed just ask

Try This
After flashing back to stock do a master clear from Odin3
Put update.zip onto internal sd
Boot into recovery
Reinstall packages
After boot enable USB debugging and mock locations
Get Rom Manager from market
Start Rom Manager
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Flash away

You guys are making it harder then necessary, the update zip I posted is the clockwork recovery MOD, just flash stock, reboot into recovery and reinstall packages 2 times and you will be in the green clockwork recovery then you can install zip from sd and choose your ROM you placed on your internal sd card. No need to root every again as long as you keep this update zip handy.

I too am having problems with Rom Manager. I just wanted to change modems. No go. So I used the power button to go into Recovery mode, picked the modem file, flashed it then told the menu to reboot system.

Problem flashing Serendipity

Ok Im on stock 2.2 on my captivate and for the past two days I've been trying to flash Serendipity. Once I've flashed clockwork and then go to install ROM from sd card, when my phone boots into the option menu and I click reinstall packages I get errors "saying package can't be identified". Im in 3e bootmenu I guess because I see that at the top. Im noobish at flashing and Im lost. I've flashed cognition before with no problem . Please help.

in the instructions to install serendipity it says to flash back to stock, this was posted before the 2.2 ota im assuming you might have to flash back to some version of 2.1... im about to try it myself, i just flashed back to 2.1 just for this purpose... ill let u know how it goes, i started this project 1 1/2 days ago and i bricked my captivate trying to get back to stock using odin... becareful... gl

Yea you should always flash back to 2.1 before doing anything else; find the Odin program and use that.

problem with flashing Serendipity 6.3
I was running 2.2 and have done a lot of reading a video watching (thanks Mobile Tech videos) and finally conjured the guts to flash serendipity.
I flashed stock using odin...that went great. Copied the update.zip to sd card. Installed zip twice in 2e recovery. Copied Serendipity.zip file to sd card. started in recovery mode, selected "install from sdcard" selected serendipity.zip file and it seemed to go through that process rather quickly. Then I selected reboot and then everything just started FCing all over the place. Help please. I can get it back into recovery mode. Tried doing the wipe data/factory reset. That did help either. Help please. I really want to try serendipity. Thanks again in advanced.

[q] [q&a] !!devs!! I need advice on what to do!!

ok...i have a semi-bricked phone.. i mean semi-bricked because it's functional, but I can't seem to restore from my backups or flash other Roms in CWM recovery.
so, the story goes..it's a long story but please read!! i am in dire need of help!
I was on the latest Infused V2, and have previously tried CM7, S7, hellraised Roms, etc.
so I was kinda experienced in switching back and forth between Roms from CWM.
Yesterday I felt like trying bigfau's port of DlevROM 5.0, which i managed to flash successfully. I made a backup of my infused ROM. DlevROM was missing support for my language so I decided to switch back to infused. but then i remembered MIUI, which I never had tried before.
so I flashed MIUI successfully and played around with it. everything was working but i just didn't like MIUI, so i wanted to restore my backup that i had made earlier that day.
Now.. I had restored previously many times so I thought I knew what I was doing..
when i booted into recovery from MIUI, it was blue. then i remembered from my recovery from CM7 to Infused that I need to be on the same recovery (aka RED) as the one i made the back up in. So i booted back into MIUI, downloaded SGS kernel flasher, then flashed bedwa's Infusion.
I then booted into recovery and i was in RED CWM!
So i proceeded to restore my backup.
it checked md5 sum, it then went on to restore system. I thought it was going smoothly until it started to restore data. then it failed.
here is what CWM says.
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Can't mound /data/!
yeah.. i don't know where I went wrong.. I've never encountered a problem with restoring from CWM..
I only had MIUI, an older version of Infused V2, and S7 in my sdcard so i tried to flash infused v2 and s7. neither worked. i mean they flashed, but i kept on going into a samsung logo bootloop...
so i re-flashed MIUI... so i'm on MIUI right now.. which i don't like =((
i'm only planning on keeping it until someone gives me a solution!!
I've asked for help previously and all I got was a "sorry, use ODIN to stock"
I've never used ODIN to go back to stock before so I don't know how to do it...
I've read up on the ODIN threads but most seemed to have problems with it...
Would Odin to stock (not gtg's ultimate unbrick) give me root and modded 3e? what exactly is it going to wipe? pictures?
thanks for your help... please help... i really don't like MIUI... i want to go back to Infused V2... or DlevROM once bigfau puts in the language support!
please help

Use this
This would give you root and modded 3e. Odin would wipe EVERYTHING
Just follow the instructions on the page and you should be fine. I've done it a couple times.

Don't worry too much. Its not bricked or anything like that.
Reboot in recovery, and flash the infused ROM that's on ur phone. This should work.
Thumb rule: When moving between ROMs, install the ROM clean, and then restore ur backup (of the same ROM) on top of it. It could be a disaster restoring backup of a different ROM.

Just fyi, I had the same problem trying to go back from MIUI... I've used the ODIN/Root+3e on numerous occasions to basically start over BUT it keeps all my files like pics,music,contacts etc. so don't be intimidated by it..it works. Once you've done that you can re-flash S7, V2 or whatever you want.
Make sure you've got your drivers installed (download samsung kies to do so) and when you open Odin, you right click and run as administrator then follow the instructions.

ok, thanks guys! I will give both a try! =)

Another Solution:
1. Use GTG ultimate unbrick with PIT file to restore partitions. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD GTG ULTIMATE UNBRICK FOR ODIN.
2. Flash community kernel v8 in Odin in order to root + clockwork mod. (Put the downloaded file in the PDA slot of odin)CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD COMMUNITY KERNEL FOR ODIN.
3. Flash whatever rom you want to use.
4. Restore your backup for that rom.
5. Enjoy.

question,
since i'm in blue recovery right now (i'm on MIUI for the time being)
would I have to flash red CWM before flashing Infused V2? or can i just flash it from blue recovery??
thanks~

ok guys..
i just tried GTG's odin back to stock (not ultimate unbrick)
computer recognized my phone,
folllowed every step to a TEE,
and then the phone rebooted itself and i saw the ATT bootscreen, so i was in a relief.
then after the att bootscreen the screen just went blank.... dark... pitch dark.. and nothing seems to work...
so i downloaded GTG's ultimate unbrick, and followed the instructions to a TEE and still the phone screen turns black right after the att bootscreen...
ok.. so what do i do now..??
Edit 1: So I booted into stock blue recovery, deleted all user data, and rebooted and it workedd!! yay~~ now push the community kernel and restore? right?

[Q] Need help!! ROGERS Infuse!! Installing roms!

hey so i really need help! i just bought this infuse not to long ago and now im trying to install roms on it. yes it is rooted im not completely new at this i have done it before in the past with other phones but when ever i try to install roms on this phone , well first of all i cant even boot into the cwm recovery my phone wont let me and second i get a e: signature verification thing comes up i cant install roms..... someone please help me and give me detailed instructions on how to do this?

are you even able to boot into stock mode or have you borked it?
edit: if you have borked it- -soft brick- you need to start over with any one of the back to stock flashes and start over again..

1. Flash to stock Rogers UXKG3 Gingerbread packages (rooted) with odin packet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927
2. Install SGS kernel flasher from market or apk file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877444
3. Download kernel Infusion-GB.1.0 put in SDcard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485
4. Open SGS kernel flasher choose kernel...zip and flash kernel, waiting for restart
5. Now, your phone will have ClockWork Mod (CWM) for install custom rom.
6. Choose custom rom and follow method.
Enjoy.
Sorry, i m not good in english.

I installed att pda instead of a rogers pda. now that i used rogers pda my first rogers splash screen is rainbowed and the lfs is now named logo.atnt.jpg. what do i do? i tried gtg unbrick i tried odin rogers stock uxkg3. and tried installing infued v2 . still no luck

[Q] stuck, now what? looking for help/ideas

hello, let me explain what i did and maybe theres a solution one you pros can help with.....
gt6210
So one day i decided to root and eventually backup everything. So i went directly to this guide but didn't install the pernament cwm thru odin like the guide said.
I decided i didnt need root, and rather not have it on my tab and not knowing how to remove i decide just to flash back to stock HC the update
to ICS thru kies like i did before. so it just sat there in a endless boot loop for 30 mins going thru the samsung animation. so i figured i would
wipe cache and do a factory reset.
Now its locked at the samsung logo, flashed back to stock HC, same thing stuck, only download mode available wont go into recovery,
flash to leaked ICS that was in the guide above still stuck but i got the recovery 3e screen.
So i figured i just bricked it thru the EMMC bug when i reset/wiped thru the stock recovery.....
i went to this EMMC fix guide and from the recovery 3e i ran cwm.zip that was in the
root guide and ran emmc_find_brick_start.zip it scanned and never stopped just came back to cwm screen.
what next? ive been flashing different pit file, going back to hc and ics etc.........
i dont want to sound like a tool, although i feel like one ATM i really need my tablet. I'm on dialysis right now waiting
for a kidney transplant and i spend a lot of time at the hospital surfing on this thing and i can't afford to buy a new one
since i'm disability.
any ideas/suggestions? throw them on here, ill try anything.

forgot to mention on the recovery 3e sceen at the bottom it says
installing package
E:failed to mount /system (invalid arguement)
E:main :: can't mount /systemE:failed to mount /system (invalid arguement)
what does this mean?

If you still have CWM as your recovery, then your attempts to flash stock ROM with ODIN failed.
Did you get an error?
What happens when you try to flash stock ROMs?
Have you tried Flashing the Stock ICS Rom with Odin?

you made your life harder than it should have, to unroot, just install SuperSU, and use its "Full Unroot" function. Don't forget to uninstall Superuser. Note that for next time.
Have you tried flashing to any ICS stock rom through Odin/Heimdall? If you did, which one did you use? If not, you could try flashing this one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777303 first and see how it goes.

the iniaouse
sorry i had to edit my links, not enough post count to enable outside links.....
i tried to odin stock hc from the gt6210 root guide and on reboot i got errors, see the HC pic attachment
couldn't get the stock recovery, so i flashed cwm 6.0.1.9 and no matter how many
tries or button pushes i couldn't get in the recovery screen (battery symbol flicker for a sec)
Am i flashing incorrectly? i load up the files under PDA.
i then tried flashing GT_P6210_ICS_Latest_Leak_Odin_Package.zip from the same root guide.
and got more errors see "ics reboot"attachment
i popped the cwm.zip file (temporary CWM as described in the root guide)
cwm temp pic
i ran the 120824-151927-emmc_find_brick_start.zip thru this twice and it finished its
scan and came back to the menu.
i found a another version on cwm that can be installed by sdcard
now only then under ics and this version of cwm can i use the vol+ and power to get into recovery.
ran the brick start file here as well same thing ran thru then came back to the menu.
i'm rereading the EMMC guide again since i don't feel out of wack like the last couple of days
****update, i figure i'd flash ics and cwm 6.0.1.9 again and it finally let me get into the menu, now running the EMMC start

if you can successfully flash stock ICS (just flash it and NOT the CWM first) and it boots. , Then you don't have EMMC bug issues. Otherwise it would fail.

If I use Odin to flash stock HC or ICS it always says successful, on reboot that's when I get errors like in the attachment in my last post. eMMC files (start and end) they scan everything then says completed. It never froze at all.
If its not the bug what is it that gives those errors? Those stock files are from the gt6210 root guide and have used before.
So am I not flash correctly on Odin?

I still don;t understand what error you are getting.?
If you flash the stock rom in odin and nothing else, what happens?
IF you flash only the stock rom in ODIN and you still see what you show on the pictures when it boots, you have a corrupt update file on your SD card. Remove the SD card
