I want to install CyanogenMod on my rooted Galaxy S (I9000), but when I want to prep my phone by installing a custom recovery, I get this error from heimdall: "ERROR: Claiming interface failed!"
Now I have done some research about this error, but I can only find Mac-users having the same problem.
EDIT: I have flashed my phone using ROM Manager, but now I stumble upon another issue:
When I want to boot into the Clockworkmod Recovery mode, it just boots in the stock recovery (3e)

I've looked everywhere for answeres to no avail. So this is my problem, I have a mytouch 3G with out the 3.5mm jack [32B] that I rooted the easy way, Universal Androot. I went into recovery after renaming my rom update.zip, and on the recovery, clicked apply update.zip, but it said verification failed. I learned that the recovery screen i hav, the one with the triangle abd the exclamation point with the image of the phone is not the one I need, so I looked for different recovery screens. I tried ROM Manager to flash clockwork recovery, but it said an error occured while attempting to run privaledged commands, this appeared too when i tried the alternate recovery in ROM manager. Then i tried Recovery Flasher, but it said back up failed. I pressed the invisible button to skip this step, then tried flashing the recovery, flash failed. Please I need some answeres, I don't want to keep looking for more recoveries because i think that they wont flash too.
Hopefully this question hasn't already asked before, but after some research and rooting my phone with the superoneclick root for my t-mo vibrant, sucessfully. I am not unable to do a backup of my phone using the recovery. I loaded a recovery image using rom manager. It says I am using clockworks recovery. But when i attempt to reboot in recovery, or do a backup, it just says :can't open /cache/update.zip(bad) installation aborted.
do i need to do something to the bootloader? how can i proceed to access the recovery to do a backup so i can load a new rom. thank you
Hello,
I installed a custom ROM on my samsung infuse some months ago.
I wanted to install a new one and in the process, I bricked my phone.
I used ODIN3 v1.7 software to unbrick my phone but now I am not able to install the CWM recovery.
I tried following things:
1. Used ROM Manger app to install CWM recovery but no success. It does
not pass the SAMSUNG screen
2. Deleted the file /system/bin/recovery and then started the process but
no success. It does not pass the SAMSUNG screen
3. Copied the CWM recovery onto /sdcard and tried to install it but it
errors out with some permission issue.
Please let me know how do I fix this problem?
Try this it has always got me out of this type of situation.

Thank you very much for the help.
I have tried this but did not help me.
I will try it again and see if I am able to flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
This is what I did:
I unbricked my phone using the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1116251
Then, I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick.
Then, using the ROM manager, I downloaded the CWM recovery.
While I was trying to install it, I got "Signature invalid" error.
Hence, I 3e modded my phone by deleting the recovery file /system/bin and copying the recovery file from the following location into /system/bin

Now, when I tried to reboot my phone and enter into 3e recovery, the phone starts and it does not pass after SAMSUNG black screen.
Am I doing some wrong?

I am trying to install the Clockwork Recovery on my Galaxy tab 7" series 2. I followed the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861838 and used heimdall to flash the recovery.img from cwm-6.0.1.1-p3110.tar (obtained from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/33069-gt-p31xx-clockworkmod-recovery-6011/) .
Heimdall seems to indicate that flashing the recovery went just fine:
Uploading RECOVERY
100%
RECOVERY upload successful
But when I reboot into recovery mode, it seems that I have the standard "Android System Recovery" and not the clockwork recovery. Trying to install an update (to root the tablet) from external storage results in a signiture verification failure. I'd appreciate any help in starting to troubleshoot this.
Well, I got the Clockwork Recovery done by trying another few times. I'm not sure why it suddenly worked without my doing anything different, but it did.
Hello everybody,
I am having trouble installing a custom rom on my SGH-T779 10.1 Tab 2 that I just got. I have a few questions. One can I use a wifi only rom on this T-mobile Tab 2? I see that there is several different designators talking about the Tab 2. Should I be using the P5100, p5110, or the P5113? How can I tell? Why not just use T779?
I was able to find a few good looking roms. Downloaded them and a recovery boot image. Was able to get it into download mode and flash the img using Heimdall on my linux machine. Heimdall always shows that the flash was complete with no errors. I booted into recovery mode.
Before flashing the rom I did the usual wipe before hand. After the wipe I can not boot into the stock rom. It is just stuck on the Samsung.
Went to install a rom and I got an error about the rom being for a different recovery. So searched and found some posts about getting a recovery to work and flash the roms just fine. So I tried that one. After flashing it trying to boot into recovery I got the booting recovery message then the screen just goes black. Then it takes a lot of messing around with the buttons to try to boot into recovery or download.
Finally got a recovery to let me boot into recovery. Then trying to install a rom I get the status 7 error. I searched that and found a few solutions. Tried the editing of the updater script. Didn’t work. Tried the signature verification trick. No luck.
I have tried espresso-twrp, twrp, philz touch, openrecovery-twrp. I have tried them for the P5100 and the P5110.
So now I can boot into Odin Download mode only. What am I missing? What can I do to get a custom rom on this thing? It has never been this hard before. Driving me crazy!
Thank you very much!

SGH-T779 is completely different from any of these tabs P5100, p5110, or the P5113. not the same chipset, not the same GSM band.
please don't confuse and use these ROMs, they aren't meant for the CDMA version.
