[Q] Need help with ROM Manager - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I'm new to flashing a ROM, and Im having a little problem with ROM Manager. Ive been trying to make a backup of my current ROM prior to flashing to a new ROM. However when I choose the option to backup current ROM it shows me the name of the backup and then reboots my device (Samsung Captivate) into recovery mode. Not really sure what it wants me to do there so I choose to reboot the device, I then check to see if it made the backup and nothing??? Im not sure what it is that Im doing wrong but Im sure I must be missing a step. The phone is rooted, running 2.2 other than that nothing else has been moded. If any of you can help me I would appreciate it, I just dont want to move forward with flashing a ROM before Ive backed up the current ROM. I have made a backup of all apps and data using Titanium.

When it goes into recovery, is it the ClockWorkMod recovery menu? Green text? If it isn't getting there you need to install it from ROM manager first or just install it off an update.zip file that is floating around XDA and other sites. Once that is setup, you can run the backup through ROM Manager. It should boot into a recovery mode and then start doing a lot of writing of files to your new backup directory.
Post back if you are still having problems.

I did select the option for flashing ClockWorkMod recovery and chose the Captivate as my device. It did say that it sucessfully downloaded the file and Im assuming that it meant it installed it. And to answer your question I think I can safely say that no its not clockwork recovery when it reboots as it does say at the top of the screen "Android Recovery" so Im pretty sure that ClockWork is not installed. But I will look for that update.zip file and try to install it that way...

I'm sorry, you are looking for recovery-update.zip. I would try to run the ROM Manager install again and see what happens. I haven't had to play with the Android Recovery in quite some time but if the recovery-update.zip file is in the root of your sd card, you should be able to install it through the Android recovery. I'll keep looking. If I can find the file on my phone, i'll post it. Good luck.

If this is your first time booting into CWM recovery it will go to the base recovery first. Then you need to "reinstall packages". That will replace the recovery file with the CWM recovery file and return to the main menu. Then choose reintall packages one more time and it should bring you to CWM recovery instead of the base one. From then on it should bring you directly to the CWM recovery.
As for the backup it's done from CWM recovery. So once you get thru the steps above you will see backup and restore options on the recovery menu and you can go thru that process.

There may be some help in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734163
First try to flash it again through ROM Manager.

DUH...I thought there was another step. Thanks mxracer. Give that a go and see if you get what you are looking for.

Thanks!! Trying that now

Ok still having a problem, I followed the instructions just as posted but this is what I get:
-- Install from sdcard --
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Ok so what do I do? Im thinking I need to find that recovery-update.zip you were talking about?

That update.zip should have been placed there by ROM Manager. Possibly try uninstalling & reinstalling ROM manager. Else, that update.zip should be somewhere. I'd grab the one off my phone but I'm not entirely sure which one it is. My ROM already had CWM with it. I'll try to look for a correct update.zip but I'm at work so I'm not going through XDA all day.

You're right, I did miss that. Haven't had to do anything with 3e recovery before. Xanaki, are you on Rogers with their official 2.2 or the leaked AT&T 2.2?

I missed it too. The above post regarding 3e recovery is what you need to do, one of the phones I have I need to do the same process after flashing back to stock. Sorry for the confusion.

Been having a similar issue when it takes you to stock recovery, I hold down both volume buttons and power until I see AT&T let go of power it usually takes me to clockwork recovery menu, I then select whatever I want to do backup, recover, or install from sd.
I don't know why it started doing that but that's what I found works. Hope it helps.

Im on the leaked AT&T version of 2.2 not Rogers. I haven't had the chance yet to try the recovery method mentioned but I plan on doing so today, I will update as to if this works or not. Also I did read somewhere that flashing a new Kernal might resolve this issue, I do have SGS Kernal Flasher but I dont have another Kernal to flash to...

Hebrew support

hey all,
so i have an Israeli wife and she wanted to be able to read the Hebrew font on her facebook and other apps.
we used to have the tmobile mytouch and at the time i had found a .zip file that i flashed and it gave us Hebrew support so i tried it on the incredible and it worked, so i thought i would share it with everyone.
i dont know who to give credit for this, and i dont remember where i got the .zip file.
Whats the procedure to install?
does it have to be rooted as far as you know?

afaik you need to be rooted,
1. move .zip folder to root of your sdcard
2. boot phone into recovery
3. apply .zip form sdcard
4. reboot phone and your done!
its possible that if you name it update.zip you can do it from the stock recovery but i did not try that and seem to remember reading somewhere that you needed to be rooted.

I have installed this on two incredibles and it worked fine for me, both were rooted and I was using the unrevoked recovery. I think what you are doing is making the phone look for a file named " update.Zip"
in unrevoked recovery there is another option to select which file you want to flash, you then select the Hebrew.Zip folder. Try that and let me know what happens.
Thanks again for the explanation. I am using the plain recovery mode, so I think that is my problem.
How did you install the unrevoked recovery tool? Hopefully this is something that I can do with the rooted phone without having to get back to the "start adb in recovery race condition". I barely made it the first time (with luck) and I don't think that I can hit the same luck again...

if you rooted the phone properly the first time and have the superuser app installed it is really easy, just download the unrevoked recovery flash tool and then run it on your pc, it will give you instructions to connect the phone with debugging mode, and then you will allow the superuser app permissions when it asks you and thats about it, should only take five min.
I have a problem I'm trying to use unrevoked flash tool and I get no farther then pushing recovery. I really need help I have rooted my and installed the proper drivers but can't get past pushing recovery please help.
Thanks for this....
Finally rooted and added this, nice little tweak, and an easy thing thing I can answer when someone says, what does rooting allow your phone to do?

I tried two different Odin packages I897UCJF6 and I897UCJF1, both give me the same issue.
I think my only option is to use a nandroid backup from a fresh install, can anyone send me a link to one please.
If you did a master clear it deleted everything on your /sdcard volume... so of course it isn't finding an update.zip package there =P
if your recovery is black screen w blue letters, That is samsung recovery.

I can get to samsung recovery, but when I click reinstall packages it fails if there isn't an update.zip file in the /sdcard directory.
I poked around the clockworkmod update.zip and found out it deletes the /cache/recovery/update.zip and installs a modified /sbin/recovery; among other things, but I think those are the files that are most important to me right now, are those files not restored by Odin?
btw I'm new to android but I'm a linux admin and programmer so I have a basic understanding of how this works, now to just dig deeper and find out where it's going wrong.
Odin will wipe everything on your NAND clean, this does not include the /sdcard area (internal Sdcard)
Doing a master clear wipes everything including your internal sd (so if you had already had a clockwork backup it would have gotten wiped as well)
Rom Manager/Clockwork creates a folder on your /sdcard called /sdcard/clockwork, and within that folder all of your images are stored. Clockwork uses and update.zip file to install itself on boot up (through stock recovery)
I'm not entirely sure what answer you're looking for though, so I figured I'd just lay out a few facts in hopes that one of them might help
Thanks for the reply, I know the basics of how clockworkmod/nand work. What I'm trying to do is restore my phone to factory condition, Odin restores everything except the recovery manager, for some reason I'm stuck with the modified recovery that needs an update.zip. Before I made any changes, when my phone was new, if I booted into recovery and selected reinstall packages it would run the default att/samsung recovery program and reinstall default packages(as far as I can remember, please tell me if I'm just imagining this, ive been flashing and reflashing my phone countless times so I could be really confused), thats what I wan't to happen, now it just gives me the error:
e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip.

And could someone else with a stock AT&T Captivate please confirm, I'm not ready to admit that I've gone completely crazy....
Just so I understand. You go to recovery and it tries to install an update.zip without you doing anything? This isn't normal.
I'd do another odin and a master clear. That really should do it.

No, he is saying that when he first got the phone it used to reinstall the stock packages when he selected reinstall packages. Now it doesn't and instead just says it can't find update.zip. He just wants to make sure that on a stock recovery it's not supposed to install anything when he selects reinstall packages.
If you did a master clear and have not manually put an update.zip file back into the root of the sdcard, then you will always get that message because the file does not exist. If you ran the 1 click odin and restored the phone, then you are back to stock. No further actions necessary.

I've done a few master clears using odin. It's not trying to install an update.zip without me doing anything, the way I remember it on the stock phone when you select reinstall packages it will reinstall the default att packages, am I wrong about this?

You need to flash a kernel with clockwork mod recovery such as :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
Flash with Odin and put the kernel in the PDA section. Once flashed you will have clockwork mod recovery. The reason you can't apply roms is because you have Recovery 3e which won't apply unsigned .zips.
When booted into clockwork mod just select apply .zip from sd card and choose the ROM you want to install and then reboot.
Simple really
I sure hope you have checked first if your 3-button combo works. Otherwise you soon will be figuring out how to unbrick your Galaxy....

[Q] Clockwork Recovery "failed to verify whole-file signature"

Well, i've been looking at themes to put on my official 2.2 Captivate and they all are saying to create a NAND backup first before doing anything. So i did some research and from what I can tell, you do this with CWM. My phone is rooted. I downloaded ROM manager, i flashed it, then i go and click "Make backup", the phone reboots and the blue system recovery menu comes up(3e, i'm not sure if that makes a difference) and I click "reinstall packages". It goes through finding update package, opening, verifying, and then it says:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature

It's because 2.2 uses 3e recovery which is not compatible with CWM. If you wish, you could theme 2.1 stock I guess, but a better solution is a custom ROM with themes

Alright. Thanks.
Is there currently a solution being worked on to make CWM work on 2.2? Or, is there another option to make a NAND backup on 2.2 other than CWM.
I'd rather not go back down to 2.1. I saw that some ROMs are already made for 2.2 like Cog 4 and Serendipity(But, you also should make a backup before flashing, lol. Which leads back into my earlier question in this post if there are any other solutions than CWM for 2.2). I probably will end up putting a custom ROM on my Captivate, but if it's just a matter of waiting a little while until development for 2.2 Captivate gets going, then i'll just wait.

One thing I would like to raise here is that after i cannot use update.zip any more. Cuold you please explain why? It also says "cannot verify signature"

Because your phone does not have the vulnerable recovery installed. Look at the link I posted. It has everything you need to get up and running. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

The Milestone mentioned in ROM Manager / clockworkmod is probably the Alltel Milestone, which in reality is a droid 1.
Now that you have installed cwm, you have to remove it from your phone and then install Androidiani openrecovery. Before that you need to install vulnerable recovery from here using rsdlite.
Note that it may take more than one try to get cwm out of the system.

What did you end up doing after it hung for an hour? Because if you haven't flashed a custom ROM, you should still be able to boot (rooted) and you can try the Nandroid backup again.

I take the batterry out of the phone and restart it again. It works normally but the backup is not done because i do not find out the backup under Openrecoveries folder. I did try the second time but it happed again and i had to take the battery out of the phone and restart.
please help
I actually had the same mistake as you before (using ROM Manager on our Milestone).
I recommend this:
1. Backup your SD card content
2. Reformat your SD (slow format)
3. Place the AOR 3.3 (Androidiani Open Recovery) files back in (use a fresh download if possible)
4. Perform Nandroid backup again
Note that there will be no "backup" content in your OR folder. Instead, you will see a new "nandroid" folder in your sd root.
Thanks dude. I find out the solution. I wipe all data + cache, then I download a fresh recoveries and then i did the backup again. It works well.

You should not use ROM Manager to do the backup or flash for Milestone. please use Open Recovery 3.3. Download it and please delete CWM folder also. Please wipe data/facotry reset for doing backup or flash. (IMPORTANT). It will work.
