Is the 3E stock recovery the only reason?
I don't understand why its not an option....
Was it built for this phone?

A bunch of things you need to know for galaxies vs aosp
1. I also came from a g1. I loved it.
2. AOSP, Sense, Motoblur.etc excluding Touchwiz(These types run on the basic file format. Install rom from a signed zip, start up using a bootloader spl, you must be familiar with hardspl. A boot.img, this is the kernel, and a zip with /system, and other stuff. Also a recovery.img(Amon Ra). And a modem.img
3. Those phones have a posibility for ADB Remount command and fastboot.
eg adb remount, or fastboot flash recovery.img
4. Touchwiz is Galaxy. They run on 2 bootloader binary files, a zImage as a kernel, and mainly the /system partition called factoryfs.rfs is stockly available on a computer flashable tar file which has the files. The tar files usually with files that include factoryfs.rfs, datafs.rfs, cache.rfs, param.lfs, boot.bin, sbl.bin, zImage and modem.bin.
5. Factoryfs = /system zip datafs = /data partition cache = /cache partition, param includes core files like splash image 1 for the g1, and boot and sbl are bootloader, zImage = boot.img with different coding, modem.bin = modem.img
6. zImage contains the recovery.img partition on GB and the /system partion has recovery in froyo roms.
7. Touchwiz has odd mounts, and flashing alternate recoveries has the potential to make your phone an expensive paper weight.
8. There is a feature kind of like boot loader and spl mode for g1(rainbow screen) called download mode. This is where you connect to the computer to flash the big tar files.
9. The smart devs have created a clockworkmod recovery, which has more functions then amon ra and allows you to flash zip files with sgs4g roms.
10. Boot animation cannot be changed unless you have a kernel supporting them. Instead of bootanimation.zip, they use 2 files called bootsamsung.qmg, and bootsamsungloop.qmg
11. DON"T FLASH ANYTHING NOT MADE FOR THIS PHONE, ESPECIALLY BOOTLOADERS AS THEY MAY MAKE YOUR PHONE UNUSABLE, THE REST USUALLY CAN BE RECOVERED.
so is there a way to backup/restore my galaxy s like i could my G1
1. the galaxy s 4g is not a G1
2. yes, you can back it up by going to "backup and restore" in CWM and then clicking "Backup". this will back everything up.
you can restore by choosing the same option in cwm, but "restore" once in the menu.
if you are on a rom that you want to keep, you can go to advanced restore in the backup/restore menu and restore only your data.
gdofwar has a tutorial out on how to backup/restore the phone. does this help?
when i go into ROM Manager and click "backup current rom" it takes me to the screen in the picture. there are no backup options. incase you cant see the pic. the options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data.

Flash, not push. Unless you're rooted, the file system is set to read-only. If you are rooted, download root explorer or any other file system explorer, set to R/W, and push again.
To flash, boot to recovery and select the update.zip option (don't remember exact wording).

Umm....darky rom. Rar? ??? I did not pack it in rar or tar format...that's your prob....its pack as a cwm flashable zip
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Thank you for your response.
I'm now aware that, as you put it, "...that's my problem."
I'm not sure why the file downloaded as a .rar file. Is there a specific extension to the package process that changes the code? Would not unpacking and repacking as a zip do the same thing?
After "playing with it," I got the phone to launch back into the stock ROM. So. Thanks to myself, on that one.
Problem solved.
Are u sure the file u downloaded was a .RAR file ? or it looked like pile off books that why u calling it a .RAR file ?
If you want I recreated DarkyRomV10.3.zip which is of course flashable in CWM, It has 2 fixes that the original DarkyRom doesn't have.
Darky Rom Fixes:

1 DOWNLOAD DARKY ROM
2 BOOT INTO CWM

@rkkaranrk - Very good idea, but no. I actually didn't have a program that could decompress .rar files on the system I was using. I downloaded a copy of WinRAR specifically for that.
@Axiomkid - Thank you. I'm going to try it when I get home. Now that I've had the oportunity to play around with some of the backup apps, I'm much more confident to try new ROMs.
@Axiomkid - This is a silly question, I'm sure, but how do I flash the superuser update? Do I need to?

Winrar makes the zip file looks like RAR so the file u downloaded was very much a zip file.
I have a g2x. My phone is currently on Miui . But I tried switching back to stock rooted froyo. My phone is rooted, and is on Miui. I dislike this rom , and wanted to switch back.
Problem: I wipe data and cache everything .go to install zip, choose the stock froyo zip I found in xda. I click it and it says installation aborted. It's been very very frustrating. Since I leave to Europe in 2 days I can't stand to have Miui for 2 weeks. What can i do. Thanks

Might be a bad download. Redownload the file and make sure its a full file size 1xx MB rom.

After searching on this forum for a few hours, I am still unable to figure out what is wrong with my phone.
On my Galaxy S 4G, I have rooted it, and then I proceeded to the flashing guide here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
But after I install CWM, I am unable to install a custom ROM. I am able to get to the Red CWM, but when I try to backup my current ROM, or install from SD card, it says that it cannot mount E:/blah blah blah
How should I fix this error?
I tried going to Mounts and Storage in CWM, and the sdcard is "mount".
I am really confused, so if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it
That blah blah blah its actually important. What can't mount? If sd is mounted, then it should say "unmount"...

Ok, so it's the red "CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x"

"CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x

Now, when I tried to use the Backup function, it tells me
"Can't mount /sdcard"
I went to Mounts and Storage menu, and selected the "-mount /sdcard" and it gave me "Error mounting /sdcard!"
Is there any more information you need to help me?
in CWM are your mounts Unmounted mounted mounted unmounted in that order?
What firmware is currently on there? the tmobile GB kj6 or the original Froyo?

Right now, my CWM mounts are as listed:
-Unmount /cache
-mount /data
-mount /sdcard
-unmount /system
So yes, it is in that order. I read something about
Code:
A) For KD1 and Bionix Frost your mounts must appear like this:
/cache : unmount
/data : mount
/sdcard : mount
/system : unmount
B) For Trigger your mounts must appear like this:
/cache : unmount
/data : unmount
/sdcard : mount
/system : unmount
I got this on Ebay and I had no clue what the seller did to it, but I think it's the original Froyo.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKD1
So you are on 2.2. I would back up the sd card. Then format it by plugging it directly into the computer, formatting. then putting it back into the phone boot into cwm. Formatting it again. Placing the files you want on the root. Trying again. let me know

Oh, after I got CWM working, I went into the Rommanager app, and flashed from SD card, and I chose BlackIce_Voodoo.rar and it got stuck on the "Galaxy S exclusively for T-mobile" screen. I understand that after flashing a rom, it takes around 10 mins on that screen, but I have waited overnight, and it still has not booted. Now, I can't even boot into CWM anymore. How should I handle this situation? The whole phone is bricked, and CWM is not accessible anymore.
I also tried turning it off, holding volume up & down, and plugging the wire in to enter download mode, but it failed to do that. So I guess I can't use odin either.
Please, Don't use ROM Manager on this phone.
I'm not sure how to solve this if it can boot to the splashscreen but not get to download mode.

Thanks, I didn't know that from before Since I already did it, how can I "undo" the effects of Rom Manager? I already put the new Update.zip into the root of my SD card. But I am unable to reinstall packages using CWM because I can't access it .
Try using plugging it in and look at Odin again. I heard it can recognize devices sometimes even if the screen is blank.
Edit: If you get your phone up and running again, use the Gingerbread Starter Pack guide to flash a GB ROM without any problems.

Try downloading the Android SDK, install it, when you run it the first time, only download the platfoem tools. Once that's installed, open a command prompt, CD to where the platform-tools directory is located.(prob C:\Program Files\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools) and type:
Adb reboot download
Or
Adb reboot recovery
For download mode & recovery mode, respectively.

AH! Well, you don't flash the rar file!
You unzip it and flash it's contents
Some rom modders use rar, others use 7zip (because they usually have limited space to store their mods, compress it good!)
I dislike Odin, as it is proprietary and has no support and few updates.
I prefer Heimdall, as it is free, has support, and updates often.
Hope that helps.

Despite the fact that the link says: Download Stock TAR for SGH-I727, what you will actually download is in 7z format. Once you open that you will find a .tar file. Once you open that, you will find the boot, recovery and system .img files. People love to complicate things.
when i try to open the file it comes up as being blank...nothing is even there
ok i see my problem now...what is a program to open the 7z format file???
Do you have a utility which will open 7z files?

I downloaded both the AT&T and Rodgers files a while back and seem to recall it took over 15 minutes for each of them despite they're only being about 250m. You may have corrupt files.

Did you make a nandroid backup? Have you tried fixing permissions? Just curious. If you made a nandroid backup before you flashed your new rom, just restore the backup. Always always always make a nandroid before you flash.

honestly, you have some reading to do, but from the initial sounds of it, you either:
A. restored apps you shouldnt have with Titanium Backup after flashing your new rom (only use RESTORE MISSING APPS WITH DATA, NEVER EVER USE RESTORE ALL APPS OR RESTORE SYSTEM ANYTHING)
or you:
B. didnt wipe data/factory reset in CWM before flashing the new rom
best option right now would be to boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset, then boot back into your rom and see if you get FCs....

open 7z file with 7zip. drag the tar file out to your desktop
open ODIN as admin

point it to your desktop where the tar file is
select the tar file and click start
its not complicated....dont really understand what the issue is
when i open the the files in 7zip they will not move to the desktop as a Tar file...they go as three seperate files

inside the 7z file is ONE, count them, ONE .tar file. DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILES INSIDE THE .TAR file....
sounds to me like you are opening the 7z, then opening the .tar within 7zip
try this. right click on the 7z file, 7-zip, EXTRACT HERE, assuming you are somewhere simple, like your desktop. it should spit out ONE .tar file
