No Nandroid backup option

hey guys.
i searched the forums, maybe not hard enough but here goes.
forgot when i rooted the phone, maybe in november. have rom manager, titanium manager, etc...havent put any roms yet but when I go into recovery, i have no option to nandroid backup.
the only four options i have are:reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
i also have a
E: cant open /cache/update.zoip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
while im in recovery. any help would be appreciated!

You need to install Clockwork in the Rom Manager App. After that, reboot into recovery and click reinstall packages (sometimes it takes a few times of clicking reinstall packages).

thanks. i updated rom manager and after a few tries installing packages, was finally successful!
thanks

Is your update.zip on your internal sd card? It can't be in any folder..

that update.zip is nowhere in the card as far as I can see... what is that file about? where I can find it? maybe was created when I tried to root the phone (DEfy) z4root didnt work and I finally used superone click... is that update file created by the superoneclick??

Ok. You are aware your in the Samsung Vibrant section?

ups, very sorry about it... that is why nothing was matching...
sorry greg, I dont bother you any more, i will search in the right location.
thanks a lot

Plus that update.zip you posted was for a full rom. Thats not the file used to root the phone.

Help Installing ROMs PLEASE

I am stuck...
Ive tried installing two different ROMs on my Fascinate and get the same error when doing both and i cant figure out why.
I have tried installing the DL09 and DJ05 both getting this error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Esignature verification failed
Installation aborted.
The options up top are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I thought that there was a way to bypass the signature but am unsure of the steps.
I have also tried uninstalling CWM and pulled the battery and then tried running both the ROMs and still got the same error...
Any ideas?

Have you flashed both parts of CWM? You need to flash it via Odin as well as use ROM Manager. The part through ROM Manager downloads the update.zip file, so you could just download the update.zip from somewhere else if you didn't want to use ROM Manager.
After that, you should be set to go. Also, you should have posted in the General section.

are you applying the update to get in cwm recovery? then going to install zip from sd card?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897889
Step 2.
Or there are many more posts/guides/questions about this in the General section. Cheers.

Did you have any success with the suggestions here or are you still stuck?

follow the link from the above poster.
0. Is your phone rooted?
1. Have you flashed the radio?
2. Have you installed clockwork rom manager?
3. You should be flashing ROM via the clockwork recovery not samsung recovery

Thread moved to Q&A.

This happens when you are coming from a stock ROM that does not have Clockwork Mod installed properly.
You need to install Clockwork Mod. You need to flash via Odin, as well as in ROM Manager. Follow these instructions in post #1:

Random, but did you flash the correct modem first?

Are you sure that you are in clockwork recovery and not the Samsung recovery? Have you flashed the correct clockwork through Odin? You need to have the odin flashed clockwork recovery to be able to install test zips. If you are trying to flash a froyo rom you will need to flash the red (voodoo) clockwork recovery.
Can you describe what steps that you have taken when clockwork was installed and what Rom you are trying to download/install. Thanks!

Install ROM abort
Frustrated and bummed. Would it cause problems or damage my phone to root phone again and re-install Odin 1.3, ClockWork Mod Recovery (voodoo or non voodoo?)? Already installed ROM Manager Premium and Titanium Back-up from Mkt.
Lost!

Why don't you just do the all in one eb01 Odin? Then you don't have to even mess with clockwork, it's super easy. Look for it in the development section

I have rooted it with superoneclick and downloaded 2 zip files which I have placed on the internal sdcard
gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
CM9-NIGHTLY-120613-Defy.zip
I have put the phone in boot mode. Done the wipe data/ Factory Reset option....all is good.
I then go to apply sdcard:update.zip and am met with the following message.
E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:can't open /cache/recovery/caller
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package ...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sd/update.zip(no such file or directory )

How frustrating! Could any of you fine people tell me what I need to do in order to get the defy running Android 4 please.

You need to use the 2nd Init installer APK, it sounds like your flashing using stock recovery! read this incredibly helpful guide.

Follow this step. Since you have already rooted your phone.
Download the 2ndint from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12837303
download version 2.0, people say 2.3 din work for some.
Install the apk file.
open there app.
Click on install 2int boot.
Then reboot to recovery if you see a option.
If not reboot the phone, when you see a blue LED notification light ob start up, press the volume down button. This will take you to cwm recovery.
Wipe data/factory.
wipe cache.
Advanced - Wipe dalvik cache.
Install zip from sd card.
choose the rom, flash it.
Choose the gapps. flash it.
Wipe data/factory.
wipe cache.
advanced - wipe dalvik cache.
Reboot ICS
And hey you have downloaded ICS Rom and Jelly Bean gapps which won't work. so download ICS gapps from goo.im
