How do I root galaxy 3 i5801 with froyo on it?

Hello,
I need help on rooting froyo that I flashed few days ago on my i5801.
The one click root places update.zip on memory card, phone restarts, then when I tell it to update in recovery mode, it says can't mount dev/blk/mmcblk0.
Memory card is working fine, also tried formatting it with phone utility.
Please ... Help.

[Q] Problems with Clockworkmod

Ok so I'm currently trying to root and such and I was able to root my tab 2, but when i went to flash a ROM, Clockworkmod was gone, and all I had was the stock recovery. I found that I needed to use heimdall but I can't really figure out how to use it so that I can get my CWM back. I'm kinda newbie when it comes to how everything works, If anyone can help me somehow it would be greatly appreciated.

Look at the CWM thread in the 7" development forum.

I don't see a CWM thread in the 7" development forum

If you flash CWM, you need to remove the file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh or /system/recovery-from-boot.p. Otherwise, on every boot, the stock kernel will reflash the recovery partition, leaving you with stock recovery.

Sorry, I was thinking about the CWM thread in, um, another Tab 2 forum.
Go to the pinned rooting topic in the XDA forum here. Then go to the second post. Then follow the Xoomdev link...
All will be revealed. There's another thread there that addresses overwriting recovery, too.

What rooting method are you using? If your following this forum method you should have Odin and drivers installed. Maybe you didn't have root to begin with? All you need to do is to re Odin and follow instructions.

I followed the root method in this post

I used odin when I did it but i rebooted into CWM during the process and when I went back to flash it was stock.
Also how would I remove those files so that it doesnt go back to stock? (sorry for the newbieness... this is very frustrating to me and I can usually understand this fairly well)
EDIT: Figured it out, thanks guys for the help

Had the same error as you, still can't get passed it! :/
Frustrating!

Try a different USB slot. Several folks did that and bypassed initial problems.

[Q] LG optimus black can;t mount SD card - Installing custom ROM

First of all thank you for your attention regarding this post!
I recently rooted my LG p970, After hours of research I tried it with ''superoneclick'', it worked.
Afterwards I would liked to get a custom ROM, again I searched for hours and camed across CYANOGENMOD.
So I would try that one.
I've got the ROM Manager app, I downloaded CYANOGEN, then got into recovery mode, but then...
Everytime I get an error regarding that my SD card can't be mounted.
I've looked in many forums regarding this propblem, but I can't find an understandable solution
Could someone help me out with this?
Again, Thank you for reading my post!

[Q] Galaxay Note 10.1 8013 but progam says it is p4noterf

Thought I would be brave and root my note and then upgrade to android 4.4. So much for easy!
The root worked and when I tried to run the cm-11-20141031-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 zip file it aborted saying that it was for devices including GT-N8013 which is what I have. The zip program is telling me that my device is p4noterf. Also says it has a status 7error.
Saw one thread that started to talk about, but didn't go far. Talking about Philz.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not bricked yet but close enough to make me give up for now.
