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.

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

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.

I don't read every thread, and I don't know where you got this from. was it stated that this is in the format required for i9003, or did you just pick it up from somewhere else and try to install it?
if it's not for the i9003, then you have to re-flash some stock rom to fix your problem.
if it's for i9003, did you ensure you're using the same fw as was designated for the ics port? for example, is it for kpq and you're using kpq? if not, then you have to restore the backup you made before attempting this. if you forgot to do that, then you have to flash a stock rom to fix your problem. if they were matching and you're having problems, why not ask for help in the thread where you got it from?

Thanks for you review and comment.
First of all, i would like to stated that i have fully meet the requirement of flashing a custom rom. I'm user of KPQ of course i will find a custom rom for my i9003 KPQ. The purpose of this tread is to mention why every time i flashing a new custom would have the same problem occur whereby my device always stuck at the booting logo or reboot over and over again. This has make me troublesome to reflash back to stock rom when every time i failed to do that.
First, i root.
2nd, install rom manager
3rd, Flash CWM recovery
4th, do nandroid backup (use rom manager)
5th, application & data backup (use titanium)
6th, then istall .zip (custom rom)
Is't i missed any step before i flash a new custom rom??
What about deodex ?? it's necessary for us to deodex before we proceed to update our device?
However, i have fully meet all the requirement but why every time i flash different custom rom also failed.
Thanks again for your kindly advice

oops, first, I misread 9lock as clock
then, when flashing a custom ROM, in general, you must be deodexed first. if it's required, I would expect the dev to mention it in their thread. after flashing custom rom, you must also wipe dalvik cache. I don't know if it's necessary, but I do both dalvik and "plain" cache after flashing. have you done these two steps?
then, if you're installing the alpha ics release from the other thread, as stated, it's alpha, so not bug free. in general, custom ROMs will have at least one or two bugs, due to not every potential possible combination of operations can be performed without extensive testing and correction, and especially on our phone, the testing isn't so extensive since there aren't so many users.
edit: I found the thread you're referring to. it's "RC2", which means not necessarily stable (Release Candidate 2). go ask tripin for some help

Thank you for your advice.
Now i can taste my new themes with having a few tiny bugs. I'm so impress you can solve my problem. By the way, i will post up a new thread which guide other people to install custom rom for detail step. TQ

[Q] Installation Aborted(Status 7)while Flashing GingerBread

HI,
I have recently compiled and flashed the 2.3.4-r1 Ginger Bread on my Nexus S
using these commands
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase userdata
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase cache
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash boot out/target/product/crespo/boot.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash system out/target/product/crespo/system.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/crespo/userdata.img
But now I want to go back and load the default image-2.3.6 Gingerbread (GRK39F) (which was there at the time of purchasing Nexus S).Is there a way to do this.I downloaded the ROM for it from somewhere on the net and stored it internally on my Nexus S but when I am going into the fastboot mode and then recovery and when trying to install from sd card option by selecting the downloaded ROM I am getting this error(error Attached)

It seems the package you downloaded is for upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. Try the full OTA ROM for your phone model from the link in my signature

OK I will try the 2.3.6 .I will use the same procedure as used earlier.
Copying the ROM to internal memory and then select the ZIP file from the sd card.I hope wipe data/cache will be optional.

Thanks suksit !! It worked.I have my previous ROM now.I am happy !
Could you plz tell that why I didnt get more options in the Android Recovery Mode?I saw somethign clockwork Recovery , do I need to install such ROM?

TRy downloading the correct rom from the below link. Make sure you check your phone model (9020/23 3G/4G etc)

You need an older recovery. Had the same issue but when using 3.x instead of 5.0.2.x the status 7 issue went away.

You have to install ClockworkMod recovery in order to get those options. It's not a ROM, it's a recovery image that you flash to replace the stock recovery.
You'll need it if you want to flash custom ROM, custom kernel, or other modifications that comes in an unsigned zip file. Otherwise you can just stick to the stock recovery.
Other benefits of CWM recovery are backup and restore functions, mount options, and the ability to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, etc.
To install CWM recovery, you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash it using fastboot command. I'd recommend you to follow the guides in Nexus S General section if you want to do it.

CWM won't install..

Ok, my infuse is rooted and have done GTG, odin back to stock (at different times when CWM wouldn't install)...with root and without. I have successfully rooted and had superuser install with su# updated.

if you get no where,
I would do a factory reset when you are running the stock ROM under /settings/privacy/reset
Then I would try the heimdall package adam outler made.

What worked for me after Odin to stock was using SGS to flash the voodoo community kernel from froyo after that it allowed red CWM to work flawlessly and then I could flash ROMs again without issue.

Just a follow up to who ever would run into my problem:
I did return to stock using Odin and could never get CWM to flash using the app from market nor putting it on the root of the SD card. I tried GTG back to stock...with no luck getting CWM either....nor could I get Heimdall to work.
So I was able to use SGS kernel flash from the market to flash the "community kernel v8"... and get CWM.....so I don't why nothing else but the SGS flasher worked.....but I got it!!
Thanks for all the input and help fellows!

Wookspy important having the same problem i just got my infuse today i rooted and 3e recovery is installed i just keep getting the verification error when installing packages all you did was flash the kernel and it worked ?
Sorry i keep getting the errors when reinstalling packages for cwm any help would be much appreciated

[Q] I messed it all up in nexus s!

First of all,
I updated to 4.0.3
then i would like to root my phone..
I used a guide found on the nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/ and then i installed rom manager free from market and i tried flashing cwm recovery inside rom manager.
But rom manager was fc and i decided to google it to find an other way to install cwm recovery.
Then i found this guide nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-force-your-nexus-s-into-clockworkmod-recovery/ and i followed this exactly, hoping that it could be easy to flash the new 4.0.3 rom again.
When i try to open bootloader mode and select recovery a sparking android is showing up an then only the lights from the touch keys are glowing.!
When i press either (Vol- and Power) or Power Clockwork Mod recovery shows up and when i try to install zip from sd it shows status 7 installation aborted. I searched forums that proposed to wipe all data and dalwik data.
I did all these and also status7 shows up every time i try to flash a rom.
I ask for your help!!!

updated your cwm recovery to 5.x.x.x. and dont expect help or no one will help, ask for help instead.

you are right i wrote by mistake.

I ask for your help!!!

I suggest you to download the stock gingerbread for your model from Rom Manager and install it as update.zip. That will unroot your phone. So root it again and try flashing new roms (cm9 or ICS). You should flash kernel after flashing the rom.
