Having Issues Installing Custom ROMs

Earlier, I mistakenly posted this thread in the Droid 2 global forums. This is where it shoud've been posted.
As you can see from the title of this thread, I am having problems installing ROMs on my rooted Droid 2. No matter which one I try to install (gummyjar, liberty, etc.), after I boot into recovery and follow the instructions for installing the ROMs, they don't; everything on my phone always looks the same as before. What might be the problem?
As a side note, Webroot, one of my mobile security apps, seems to quarantine the zip files a day or two after I download them. Might Webroot be the problem? Should I uninstall it and try installling these ROMs after doing that?

Try mounting system and data before flashing the roms. This sounds like it may be your issue.

How do I do that?

Did you
1. Root your phone successfully?
2. Install Koush Bootstrap and successfully bootstrap recovery?
3. Follow the directions correctly when installing the ROM's?

Boot into clockwork, select mounts and storage, then mount system and data. Then go install rom from sdcard.

Finally, success! What I was doing incorrectly all this time was not using Koush Bootstrap recovery for the recovery. I had been attempting to do that portion of the process from the ROM Manager instead. Thanks for the help guys.
P.S. the ROM I ended up installing was the Big DX Serenity. Except for it not enabling vibrate on keypress, I like it so far.

From what I hear, Liberty ROM is one of the quickest and most customizable ROM's out there right now. I was excited having just gotten Fission set up, but I think I'll be switching there.
Now that you've started swapping ROM's around too, you'll definitely want to be making backups of your phone. To do this, use Koush's Bootstrap to create a nandroid backup. This way, while trying out different things, you can try all sorts of ROM's with minimal hassle by just loading up your saved states.

Need help with "new" version of CWM for Fascinate

There's a new version of CWM in this link for the Froyo leak of Fascinate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499
I got Froyo just fine, but I just noticed as I'm trying to install a Froyo theme for Fascinate. I'm having trouble getting the new CWM Recovery to "take". Now when I go through ROM Manager to Reboot Into Recovery, it takes me to the stock recovery, but going to "Update.zip" makes a loading bar load about 1/4 of the bar, then it reboots, shows Samsung logo, and is back at stock recovery. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help? Is there any .TAR of the new CWM, so I can maybe use Odin to force it on? Thanks.

Get rid of the theme. That's probably the problem. And this should be posted under general or in the thread of whatever ROM you're using.

Oh good, I love Odin and I was hoping for such a file. I'll try this when I get home, thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Posted this in another thread but this is how I did it.
Download the first file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021 and rename it recovery-update.zip put it in the clockworkmod folder on sd card, replacing the old recovery-update.zip.
Download the following file and place it at the root of your sd card, make sure its named update.zip.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17566514/update.zip use it to get into cwm.
Then boot to recovery, (apply update if you get blue writing, choose apply sdcard:update.zip). Once in green cwm choose to "install zip from sd card,"
navigate to your clockworkmod folder then choose the recovery-update.zip file.
Lastly go back to the main options and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip." you should be good to go now!
CWM should be red for now on, and should say voodoo lagfix.
Enjoy! I hope that clears things up!

I can't get past the blue I think when I get home I am odining everything back to normal

This version says Voodoo but isn't, the programmer was to lazy to change that (or a voodoo update for froyo will be here soon). Also the bitmap error happens to everyone so don't worry about it.

Well you have Froyo, you must be using a ROM even if it is stock. Did you follow the directions closely when installing Froyo? And there are no custom kernels for DL30 so no worries about accidentally putting on voodoo.

Ahhhh!
I am having problems with CWM to the point where I can't install any roms nor can I reboot into CWM recovery. I just flashed DL09 and I am trying to flash froyo but I kinda need CWM to work in order to do that... I have an odin package for the version of CWM I supposedly need but it doesn't work, so should I go back to an older one?

Cant get to Green anymore
I updated to Froyo last week and everything is working fine except my battery life sucks...
Im going to upgrade to EB01 and try Super Clean
Ive installed the new CWM but I cant get to Green Recovery anymore.
Everytime I run update.zip, it simply brings up the Blue Recovery.

Try Taka's post on the first page. It worked for me, I'm now rocking the red CWM and running Incognito.

If you are trying to run a Froyo ROM, even without voodoo, then in this situation you will be using a RED CWM.
Specifically, the one that was posted earlier or can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Even though it is red, even though you don't want voodoo, this really is the correct cwm for Froyo at this time.

CWM for 2.2

I just rooted my 2.2 vibrant! (came stock with 2.2) ! now im trying to flash clockworkmod but i get this error when i re-installl packages in the vibrant recovery screen.??
Can someone please show me a step by step on how to probprly make a 2.2 vibrant recongnize the clockwork recovery screen?!

You would have to ODIN to a ROM that comes with the 2E recover such as (eugenes froyo that doesnt brick) or a kernel that you can odin that has a modified 3E recovery that disables signature checking. Once you do that you can flash a kernel that has clockwork embeded into it such as overstock, tigers blood, voodoo, eugenes dead horse.

i think i need a step by step way too noob to understand what 3e and 2e is and what is ODIN i hear soo much about it! I bought the phone with 2.2 already on it so i havnt used ODIN at all to update my firmware!

Read the vibrant bible for about a week then try messing with your phone.

your easiest method to get CWM working (and i'm assuming your end goal is to flash a rom) is to odin BACK to JFD (the stock shipped 2.1 rom for the vibrant) and then flash your rom.
There is no other easier way to do it (especially since you're not really sure what odin is, so using the other method to replace the stock 3e recovery with a fixed 3e recovery requires SOME technical knowledge of mounting partitions and getting root using superoneclick).

I sEE its starting to make sense now! After i switch back toJFD using ODIN will i have to re root my phone or does it stay rooted?

if you're end goal is to flash a rom, and you've already used CWM before using the update.zip method, unless you've deleted the update.zip from your sdcard, there is no need to root when using 2e recover (the stock 2.1 recovery) to get CWM working. You will have to manually boot up the phone into recovery (using vol+ and vol- and power) and then reinstall packages.

Thanks alot i appreciate the help! Ill try this after work and report back if i had any more issues.

If you're entire goal is to get root in order to flash a Rom, why go through all the trouble (which by the confusion your having, there will be) just to flash a custom Rom?
The easiest way is to odin jfd to your phone. Then put the cwm update.zip on your internal sd card as well as your Rom of choice and flash that way.
The way that you're currently wanting to do requires you to get at the very least temp root, mount /system as rw, the copy over a modified recovery file, all assuming you don't run into errors about having enough free space on /system.
Now, which way seems easier?

Wouldnt it be ezr to download the recovery 3e.zip to your download file on phone directly from the internet, then copy the zip file and move to the appropriate file on phone useing a file manager ..then just robooting to recovery reonstallingand completly avoiding a computer
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Well, you have to have root first. To get rust on your 2.2 rom requires a computer and there's also the fact that you may not even have enough room on your /system partition. If it were easier, the easier method would have been told to you within the first 3 posts.

Samsung Continuum Questions

Hey guys, I have a few questions that I either couldn't figure out after researching for hours (seriously) or I just need some clarification on. I apologize if these questions have already been adressed. Also, I'm new to android so try to keep it simple for me.
1. What is a kernel? Can I flash multiple kernels to the same rom? Can I flash a kernel via clockwork recovery?
2. Ive been having problems with clockwork recovery. I got it installed (meaning I can get to the clockwork recovery menu after flashing the .tar file via odin and applying the update.zip) but if I select any of the items from the clockwork recovery menu the screen immediately goes blank and I have to perform a battery pull to boot the phone up again.
3. Clockwork recovery doesnt stick. When I apply the update.zip (which contains clockwork recovery mod) from the regular recovery menu I get a "e:verification whole-file error" message thingy unless I flash the .tar file via odin every single time before hand in which case I do get to the clockwork recovery menu, but the problem from the question above occurs.
4. How to flash the latest clockwork recovery + any needed kernel + any bug fixes + latest version of needed files? Plz post a link to a place where I can download the appropriate files. I ask this even though its been asked before because im wondering if the files I used are outdated and thats why I had the problems mentioned above.
5. Is there anyway I can restore my phone back to the way i first bought it (meaning no root, no update, etc.)
Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure that's what you're looking for

You're having weird problems. My clockwork doesn't stock either but I don't think anybody's does with the continuum. I have a clean DL17 ROM, the peanutbutta jelly time kernel and I haven't had any problems
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App

Ill try again later on today and ill see what happens. Maybe it was just a one time glitch. Are you supposed to select the items from the clockwork recovery menu using the camera button or the menu button?
On a separate note, about the clockwork recovery sticking, i heard about a kernel that made it stick. True or false? And if I install a kernel on my phone now, and then flash the DL17 rom, do the effects of the kernel now apply to the DL17 rom as well? does the clockwork recovery mod that i flashed before also apply to the DL17 rom as well, or do i have to reinstall clockwork recovery? what bugs does the DL17 rom have? where are the fixes?

Can someone please post a link of this thread in the continuum android development section or point this thread to a dev because I don't have permission and I really badly want these questions answered! Thanks!

I'll try and answer some of your questions as soon as I get to a computer.
Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
EDIT:
1. I'm not a dev, but here is what I understand about kernels. A kernel is part of android that contains the "drivers". You can use different kernels with the same ROM, but if you're asking if you can use 2 kernels at the same time with 1 ROM, then no, you can't. Kernels are usually flashed with clockwork, but we continuum users also use ODIN because of the difficulties with CWM not wanting to work on some phones.
2. Are uoi using the menu button to select in CWM? If you are, try clicking the lock button instead.
3. I can't help you there, sorry. :-/ My CWM always worked...
4.I'll see if I can't find a guide or 2. I'll make another video tut if needed.
5. There is a stock ODIN file that I helped make floating around here somewhere. The only thing is, the ODIN is rooted because it was needed to create the files.
I'll answer more questions later

Ok thanks a lot that helped clarify a few things. A video tutorial or a written tutorial would be great and if u could answer my other questions that would be fantastic! Thanks

2. ugh... I can't really comment on that, I've never had problems with CWM...
3. Yes, they do apply to the DL17 ROM.

1. From wikipedia:
"In computing, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). Usually as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls.
Operating system tasks are done differently by different kernels, depending on their design and implementation. While monolithic kernels execute all the operating system code in the same address space to increase the performance of the system, microkernels run most of the operating system services in user space as servers, aiming to improve maintainability and modularity of the operating system. A range of possibilities exists between these two extremes."
You can only run one kernel at a time.
2. dfggd's instruction vid might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USHpl0s7qhk
3. CWM does not stick (yet)
4. You'll have to do your own research on this one. Personal taste comes in to play and it is ever-changing.
5. I know there's a DJ20 dump around here somewhere....

hahahaha im sorry but i have a lot of questions lol. thanks for the help. if u can answer the other questions thatd be great, thanks. and in response to your answers:
TO DFGGED:
1. i need plain english here. whats the difference between the two clockworks? does it really matter which one i flash? if not, then i plan on using the original clockwork recovery mod so that i can flash a different kernel.
2. maybe its becuz i used the menu button to select an item so it freaked out. ill try it again as soon as i can find somebodys windows computer i can borrow to flash odin
3. and if i flash a kernel its permanent? i cant remove the kernel or flash a different kernel and overwrite it or something?
4. i definitely flashed all the files correctly and it didnt stick for me. maybe we just have different definitions of sticking. i have to flash odin every single time prior to going in to clockwork recovery. do u not have to do the same? i heard that flashing a custom kernel made it stick though so maybe thats it...
5. wait...i thought Adr's DL17 rom was the only one out for the samsung continuum. and that is the debloated/debinged/etc. isn't it?
6. if there are different roms and im just clueless, then can u post the link for both of the actual rom and fixes?
TO DFGGED(PART 2):
1. but doesnt it say flash the recovery kernel via odin? is that not a kernel?
2. what does this kernel do?
3. again, what does this kernel do?
TO WEUDEL:
1. kind of understood that lol but at least i get the basic idea
2. yup that helps to clarify a bit, thanks
3. i heard that custom kernels DOES make it stick. true or false?
4. look at my questions to dfgged above (in this post) and see if u can explain the differences to me in the kernels and original clockwork recover vs. imnuts clockwork recovery (and if imnuts clockwork recovery's recovery kernel is actually a kernel) and if there are indeed two different roms and the difference between them. and a link to a place where i can download the latest files for the fixes and actual rom. i would really appreciate it!

Well, since you are now over the 10 post threshold, I would suggest that you ask the specifics of these kernels within the kernel threads. That or try them all out and go with the one you like. This is a small community and the more testing everyone can do the better off we will all be.

I would but I dont have a windows computer so testing is pretty much impossible for me so...yeah anything anybody knows about the questions I just asked would be extremely helpful. Thanks again

Make sure you have whatever ROM you are going to flash on your External SD card and know where it is. If you have the Superuser.zip on your internal, then move it off.
Boot into stock recovery (blue) and scroll down to Reinstall Packages. Hit it and let it cycle through. It will come back to stock recovery (blue) . Scroll down and hit it again. It will cycle again but this time it will go from blue to green (CWR) . Scroll down to Install from SD and find your ROM you wanted to flash and hit it. Follow whatever ROM's OP.
