Rom Manager

Hey huys, Im coming from the vibrant to att captivate, tmobile vibrant was very simple to flash with rom manager can I do that with the captivate as well?

The only thing rom manager is good for is making the first update.zip with cwm for flashing a rom from stock, otherwise if you are on a custom rom it really isn't needed at all as all of the roms have an extended power many to boot into cwm recovery and from there it is the exact same process...

Kool thanks it seems that this is the only way I can do it coming from stock. Because if I press all three buttoms to throw me into clock recovery when I hit reinstall packages it tells me the signature fail so im going to use rom manager hopefully I don't brick my phone wish me luck. By the way incase I brick my phone ia there a way to odin back to stock and if there is can you guide me where I can get those files

Rom manager won't do you any good either. You need to look up 3e recovery and fix the signature problem

Oh!! You are on stock 2.2 it won't work. Do a search for 3e recovery signing, all update.zip files have to be digitally signed to work, there is a fix where that is no longer required. Or since I'm guessing you have the update.zip already you could use odin to get back to 2.1 which had 2e recovery and not have to fix the 3e or need to root for rom manager to work either.
Edit: pirate you are a ghost slipping in invisibly while I'm replying

Is a virgin phone stock 2.2 just rooted by super one click. Where can I get the file to fix the signature

umm you could have used the search function and had it by now...
in any case its in this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213

how many times is this rom manager/3e question going to be asked TODAY? im counting 3 sofar.
i answered the other 2.
and im up to 6 this week. all new threads..

At least he's not hellbent on flashing cm7.

I haven't posted much on here but I have been reading since June/July. I had this problem but found the answer thanks to the search feature. That is why I didn't even flash a rom until a week ago. I wanted to be informed, understand how everything works, etc. Thanks to all of you devs. for your hard work!

[Q] CWM Wont work and other aggravating problems- What can i do?

Hello, boy do I have a mishap. Well, anyway to begin I will say that I decided I wanted to root my phone to debloat it. So what I did, is downloaded the EE4 update and did the VooDoo V4 Kernel that flashes CWM and EXT4 and other junk. Well that all went great. I got it rooted and such but then just tinkering around I went into Rom Manager and told it to back up. WELL, when I did this the phone got locked on the SAMSUNG boot screen for hours and continued to refuse to boot. SO, I attempted to fix it by installing altered beast just to get the os running again and went into clockwork and backed it up. Then I went to the rooted ed1 to bring it back up to EE4 rooted and with the voodoo kernel and such but it refuses to open clockwork! The voodoo kernel changes filesystems and roots it and such but clockwork wont load. When I try to flash it in rom manager it says its succesful and then i go to reboot in recovery. It takes me to the Samsung Recovery 3e, I try to the update.zip, (yes i took the cwm recovery-update.zip and renamed it and through it in the sd card root) but all that happens is that a progress bar shows up for a split second then the android guy with the triangle and ! shows up and it does nothing. Help? I really need to back it up, preferably in the rooted ed1 but in ee4 will work to. Any ideas would be appreciated. I used odin v1.3 by the way. Im willing to try anything to get clockwork to boot so i can back it up. What do I do?
EDIT: Also, now when I go into 3e recovery, it complains saying " cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 " or something like that.

Did you read anything on this forum beforehand? Or just go link by link downloading files and deciding what to try on your phone?
Just saying..

Yeah, I did. Ive searched everywhere. I cant find anything about my problem. Ive looked at things that are close, hoping a solution can be found but nothing and no I wasnt just downloading files and spoon feeding them to my phone.. I just wanted to be able to debloat it.

Go search about Rom Manager and let us know what you find out...

I dont see how thats going to get me one step closer to solving my problem. Ive done the searching, now im asking.

Start w/ this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100384

I can't tell where you are currently on your phone from reading that as it's to much text in one paragraph and it isn't put together in a logical sense and seems to jump around. I would look at the instructions for going to rooted EE4 in the Dev forum as that should get you to where you want to be with voodoo/cwm/rom

Instead of being a Forum Snob. If you know the answer, why don't you just help him out?
There's an abundance of confusing information on here and everyone uses acronyms. I too searched for hours on how to solve a similar problem and ended up having it taken care of for me. People join communities like this one for help. Not to get flamed for asking a question. It may be elementary to YOU but not everyone.

Thanks, for the care. Sorry about that if its jumbled, im frustrated with this because ive flashed the rooted ed1 about a billion times now, trying everything to get it functioning. Id be glad to try to explain again if that could help? Ah, yes. Well, I returned to the forum about installing the voodoo kernel. I followed the process word for word. But it just doesnt seem to want to work. Right now I just flashed it again back to the rooted ed1. Would I be able to put CWM on there at that point?

so it is unlocked?? What does the exclamation triangle mean, when i try to do the update.zip from the samsung bootloader?

Oh and sorry if Im not getting this. Are you saying use a application that imnuts made? If so, could you be so nice to link it? Or a method he used? I looked for stuff but I didnt find anything other then what looks like a stock rom/kernel ed1 from him

I know how it is to be frustrated, but like they all said all of your questions have already been answered.
Here's my attempt to help:
Your problem lies in trying to flash CWR through ROM Manager, it currently doesn't play well with our phones. Word is that Koush (the creator) needs to update something for it to work with our phones. The bootloader is unlocked.
To flash imnuts' version of CWR, you'll need to use Samsung's leaked software called Odin - it's PC only. The alternative is Heimdall which is supposed to be cross-platform compatible, but the latest version is command-line only.
You have to find out if you've converted your system to EXT4 or if it's still RFS. That depends on if you have the Voodoo lagfix enabled or not. Check out the dev section and look for the titles that say [RECOVERY], [ODIN], [ROM], and/or something like "Get yourself to EE4 successfully".
A few links:
[HOW-TO] Get a rooted version of EE4
[RECOVERY][6-11-11]Clockwork Mod Recovery
[KERNEL][06-02-11] PeanutButta Jelly Time

Well, currently right now its rfs. Its the stock file system. What I was going to do, or did before, was to put it in download mode and flash the VoodooV4 Kernel. It roots the phone, and all that good stuff and is suppose to put the Voodoo recovery/cwm on there.
EDIT: Heres the proccess I followed before.

The recovery is a separate flash, both in odin. First the kernel, then Recovery.

Just follow here from the beginning, it should work for you:

You do need Odin to load that, but i'm wondering why you want to? Did you install the PBJ kernel following the instructions from the other link?
If you want to go down this route, be sure to apply the SD Card fix as well - you'll find posts about it.

help would be awesome even if your help is hey dont try this agin

I tried to root through the odin method and I can get into CWM but when I install zip then reboot it stops at the SAMSUNG screen...any help will do I need my phone by tomorrow at the latest also Im with Best buy warranty so should I just break my phone and get another ?

Your able to get into recovery? So as i said boot into recovery wipe data/cache 3 times then reboot. If still no go flash the stock tar with odin again and reroot. You could also try just flashing the stock recovery.tar and boot into it. Then wipe data, and cache. Then reboot

k tried the data/cache 3 times each and rebooted and nothing. well how do I put stock tar on my sd card if I cant get my phone on to connect with my pc storage ?

The stock tar you need to put on your pc. And you need to get your phone into download mode. You use odin on you pc with your phone in download mode. To flash the stock recovery tar. To be honest you need to just use odin to reflash the stock tar. Again. Go to the thread woth the stock tar and follow the instructions again

haha duh on my part I was just so scared that I panicked but its downloading now and im going to try and flash back to stock when it is done. thanks for your patience/help slvwrx.....upon more research I think I got a bad recovery tar bc I cant open it its just a white page with a folded corner and I think I saw someone with this problem in the thread and said you have to extract zip

any other ideas ?
anyone get tar files from another site because when I try to open mine they all say cannot open file does not seem to be a valid archive.

You cannot be serious with these questions? You don't open the tar file you put it in Odin. You really need to put some effort into researching what you are trying to do with your phone. Your lack of prior research is why you are having problems. Not trying to be an ahole but you really need to READ everything in these forums before you try to do anything to your phone or you seriously risk bricking it and not being able to recover it. It is nearly impossible to brick these phones but if you have not done the requisite research here then you will end up in essence with a brick because you have no clue how to recover it from your own mistakes. I read these forums for a solid week before I even connected my phone to my laptop and I am an IT Engineer but that doesn't make me an Android expert so I learned from the awesome people here that know more than I and are freely willing to share their knowledge. Take my word for it any/all information you would ever need to fix your phone is all right here for the reading courtesy of the great devs and enthusiasts here on the site.

any criticism is good criticism to me thanks for giving me the cold hard facts and to be truthful I did jump into this early coming from an iphone 4 and all the ones before that and jailbreaking them I thought it'd be easy and it was I just 2nd guess myself all the time. my mistake was following the vid a ruebarb posted in the thread and I followed it to a T .it wasnt till he updated his video and said that his method was for ''already'' rooted users so after getting konane's stock tar flashed in odin I was back to stock re-did the 2.3.6 method got it done stayed stock rooted for 2 days then just about 30 mins ago I went head and jumped on RED SONIA!
again thanks for your input and to care enough to set a noob stright
also Cdshep pretty much found the problem after having a personal chat with me he saw what I was trying to say I'm just not really good with wording or spelling I just recently winged myself of of concerta(ADHD pills) and so my mind moves faster than I can type or right and I confuse myself but its better than the life of a zombie!

[Q] big problem with sidekick

bought sidekick sght839 from friend and it worked fine b4 doing reset. now, when it starts, the tutorial comes up on home screen and can`t press arrow to proceed to next page. firmware 2.2.1-kernal 2.6.32.9-build froyo uvkj2. the wireless works and connects to internet fine. can`t use phone as 456 keys dont work and worked b4. can change settings OK. have rooted it. still doesnt want to work as b4. am new here so if someone could let me know if they have any ideas, I would appreciate it. am also new to android phones. I cant find heimdall file to download. Know how to set phone to download and use Odin but cant find proper files online.

Use the search bar on XDA to search for the kj2 stock Odin files, follow the directions given closely, download them, make sure you have the correct drivers so that Odin recognizes your phone, then boot into download mode using the method found in the forums, just do a quick search for download mode. You should have everything operational after download from Odin is finished, hope this helps

trouble installing odin
I have tried numerous times to install Odin but all I get is unregistered device...that is as far as it goes. Dont know how to get around that. 456 keys also work then dont work otherwise the phone works fine as far as internet and making calls goes. Crazy device!

Try this:

I soft-bricked my phone and this was the only method that worked.

if you havent reflashed your firmware yet, i have a suggestion. install clockworkmod recovery. there is a thread in the sk4g development section of this website. the title is something like cwm for the sk4g. enjoy! so look for that and follow the instructions in the first post of that thread. make sure you grab the update.zip file from that thread and do not flash cwm through rom manager. trust me on this. after you have followed the instructions in that thread, boot into cwm (boot into stock recovery and select reinstall packages. you should then boot into cwm recovery), select advanced, and then select fix permissions. when it finishes, it will say done. reboot your device and see if any of the problems have been fixed. i did this and it stopped my phone from randomly rebooting every 15 to 30 minutes. it might fix the problems on your device. if not, i would move to the next step, reflashing the firmware. flash the kj2 build and then learn how to remove bloatware. kj2 is less buggy to start with. still buggy, but less buggy than KD1, KG2, or the other version (KI2?). if you reflash firmware, you will need to re-root in order to remove bloatware. removing bloatware is key for optimal performance with the stock firmware. you can also flash a custom rom if you wish. most of the custom roms on this site have minimal bloatware, so if you wish to go that route, bloatware shouldnt be much of an issue. i personally am on the stock firmware and dont suggest flashing roms for someone so new to android. but if you feel confident enough, thats your decision. i also suggest booting into cwm and running fix permissions after removing bloatware. i theorize that removing system apps causes permissions errors similar to registry errors in windows.

some success with sk4g
don`t know how or why but I got frustrated with the phone and threw it in the trash on top of coffee grounds...changed my mind and pulled it out and cleaned it and charged it and...voila...it worked. banged it against the sink a couple times. weird! so, now I am trying to install custom rom and keep running into everification error when I try to flash. 456 buttons still dont work and cant take a video with it but it will probably work better if I can find a work-around for these errors I get. I am on a mission now and I cant give up. Hope someone can help me. I think there may be hope for this thing. Thanks for whatever help I can get.

i told you, install clockworkmod and fix permissions. it will probably fix the problems you are having. if you choose not to listen, thats. your choice. but my advice will probably help you without having to through the pain in the rear of reflashing the firmware. reflashing the firmware itself isnt really that difficult, but once you do it, your back to square one with your device. starting from scratch is the frustrating part. i bricked my phone and had to reflash, and it took me a couple weeks to get the phone where i needed it again. im staying on the stock firmware for this reason.

how does one fix permissions
OK OK dont yell. How do I fix permissions? Newbie on board here so I need a little more help than the rest. I dont necessarily want to do the rom thing myself. Thanks.

copy and paste this into your browser: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453 and follow the instructions in the first post. after you have followed those instructions, boot into recovery mode. the stock recovery will apear. scroll down and select reinstall packages. the clockworkmod recovery should boot up. the text in the screen will be orange. scroll down and select advanced. scroll down again and select fix permissions. when it finishes, it will say done. reboot your device and see if you have any of the issues you were having. i am not guaranteeing this will fix the issues, but i think it might. if it doesnt, my next suggestion will be reflashing the stock firmware. but try this and post back when finished and let me know if it works.

sk4g problem
didnt work. did exactly what you said and no go. any other suggestions. it works so well for some things like wifi and calling except 456 buttons on and off. it is funky indeed. thanks for the help also, cant take video or manage photo or use front camera as the left side button to choose options doesnt work either. seems like something is up with the rom. cant install anything from samsung or tmobile as it is an unregistered phone.

were you able to boot into clockworkmod recovery?

boot up
yes I did.

then you need to reflash your firmware. you need odin, you need the samsung vibrant drivers, and you need the firmware files. do a search on odin in the dev thread for this device and you should be able to find everything you need, including instructions.

Have tried that too
have the drivers, have odin and have tried that too. that didnt work as the phone is unregistered and not recognized. it is used and I cant register it.

on your phone, go to settings>about phone and scroll down to where it says baseband version. the last 3 characters under that will say either kd1, kg2, or kj2. if its not kj2, then i have a suggestion for you. but post back and lmk.

phone setting
it is kj2. now what? this is all confusing as it has been updated I believe by previous owner. thanks for your time. i am going to try the odin method again. i first did it on a 64bit puter with windows 7 so i can try it on my 32bit machine. have read that sometimes odin doesnt work well on 64bit. am willing to try anything. will let you know. thanks again. cant get the stock rom download anywhere. will just try flashing custom rom.

you cant odin a custom rom unless the dev makes an odin file, which they usually dont. you have to flash through clockworkmod. you can head over to the dev section and pick from many roms that are listed. follow the developers instructions for flashing very carefully or you will brick your device.

Thanks for advice.
I know I can`t odin a custom rom. I can`t seem to odin anything on this machine. I have cwm and have tried using it to flash a rom but I keep getting everification and such error msgs. Gonna let it sit for awhile and think about this. I have the update.zip file on sdcard but can`t seem to get that to install no matter what I do. Very puzzling deal. Thanks anyway for your help.

do you have android sdk installed on your computer? google it and install it, then try odin again.

got sdk
sdk installed and will try odin again...seems a little more complicated than the last time I tried...will google a bit more on this. Thanks.

Installed New update, soft brick. Need an official signed rom

Anyone know of, or or have a link to a factory rom (hell any rom would do at this point) that I would be able to flash with the stock S3 recovery? Just trying to unbrick my phone. Story of what happened below:
I'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted touchwiz. I wake up this morning to a notification saying I had an update on my phone. Should have definitely waited but without thinking I went ahead and updated, which of course soft bricks? The phone. (boots up, and but hangs at the 4Glte, flash screen)normally this would be an easy fix, I could Odin back to stock or something but I'm down in Mississippi till Monday for training and do not have access to my pc.
I can access the factory recovery on the phone but that's it, have no clue where CWM is. I've tried flashing some backups but the factory recovery says that it's not a signed package or whatever. Anyone have any idea how I can get this sucker booted up and running using just an android tablet?
What about reflashing CWM so I can access my backups? Could I somehow flash CWM with factory recovery?:

first of all you can't flash anything on a stock recovery hence the need of a custom recovery. Second you don't accept the OTA when rooted as it can cause the exact issue that you have. Last there isn't a way to fix your problem via another android device that I know of.

U are going to need a pc and then u will need to download Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1165122&d=1340993443 and u can get the official software from here on XDA http://hotfile.com/dl/182822657/9f6...WBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5.html this is the 4.1.1 software.

hey all, I've been reading , downloading etc for hours trying to get back into my GS3.. i was as usual roaming around and saw a post that said something to this effect "do ya need to get back to stock?" and figured yes i need to so i jumped in with both feet ..i had my boot loader unlocked and for some reason locked the darned thing remembering it was locked before i rooted and then i get the screen that says ie: "System software not authorized ~~~~~~~~~~~~" with a yellow triangle over it with an "!" mark in it..
all would have been ok except the line up of the way to do things was kinda outta line.. after i had locked bootloader "which is the way the GS3 came" i thought. at any rate i am now where i said i was and if i can be helped it would be appreciated.. and no repeated.. next time i'll read their whole line up first.. so help me if ya can and i am game right now for about anything ..
