Need help flashing CM ROM

I'm having trouble with my samsung vibrant (galaxy S) I want to flash CM on it. I have root access, Clockwork Mod recovery, and ROM Manager. I go in to ROM manager and select flash ROM from SD card, I select the CM ROM which I downloaded but it gives an error "Status 7" when trying to install, and will not flash the new ROM. Any help with this would be appreciated.

ok first go into clockwork recovery on rom manager and pick flash clockwork recovery and pick vibrantmtd then pick 3x NOT 2X! Then go to download rom and choose cm7 nightlie 8 or under as above have many probs. On ur nightlie choose all three! wipe data, wipe dalvik and backup rom. On ur second nightlie u just have to wipe dalvik and backup rom.

Thanks for the help. I tried that with a slight variation. I had to manually put the ROM on the root of the SD card and named it update.zip. I flashed clockwork recovery and selected 3.x as you said. I selected all 3 options for backup and wipe. Once in recovery I select "Reinstall packages" and it finds update.zip but aborts installation with "Status 7"

Ur doing it wrong. Update package is for only rooting ur phone.

First root ur phone! Then follow my directions to get cm7

the phone is rooted. Is there an easy way for me to double check that? Maybe I'm confusing two processes, but I do have the ROM on the SD card. Am I trying to apply it incorrectly? When I'm in recovery my only options are:
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal SD-card
I'm used to see other option such as on my MT4G which has "install zip from SD card" That is what I typically use to flash a new rom.
Sorry if I'm missing something, but I do appreciate the help

I've been messing with it all night. I wound up doing the ODIN to JFD to get myself back to 2.1. I installed rom manager again, and it appears that when I tell it to flash clockwork mod and then reboot in to recovery I am actually going to stock recovery. I think the options that I listed earlier are for stock recovery as well. I think the main thing I'm missing is the "Install ZIP from SD Card" option in recovery. I guess at this point I'm unsure if I'm rooted, and don't know how to get the correct recovery so I can flash the ROM I'd like.

If ur recovery is blue then u need reinstall packages twice then u will be rooted, then it will turn green. Then go into rom manager and flash clock work recovery. Then put ur rom on internal sd and ur ready to flash. Enjoy

Ok, so we can narrow things down a bit. My recovery is blue. I've downloaded the update.zip that I found from "NOOB Root guide" here on XDA, but no matter how many times I reinstall packages recovery never turns green.
I've also tried the one click root method which does the same thing as above but it just automates things a bit. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300)

Bump.
Many thanks to movieaddict who has helped so far, but it appears that I don't have root access, and the typical steps found in this thread are not working for me. Any other ideas?

ok is ur phone hardware locked?? by checking by doing this do the 3 button combo to get into download mode. First power off ur phone then plug in ur usb cable to phone and into pc then hold down the up volume and down volume and THEN hold down the power button and let go after a few sec u should see download mode.. If it goes into download mode then ur phone is not hardware lcked and we can go from there if it is hardware locked? then follow this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801722
if it isnt hardware locked then make sure update package file isnt corrrupted and make sure u put it on ur internal sd card. Make sure the update package is 632 kb sometimes when downloading stuff happens.
im gonna tell u how i do root and flash! First odin back to eclair must easier to root then. Second put the update package on ur internal sd card and dont unrar it leave it as is. Then turn off ur phone and hold down the up volume and the down volume and THEN the power button and as when u SEE THE vibrant logo let go of power button. Ur recovery will be blue then select reinstall package and select yes, it will then go through stuff and come back to recovery blue then do it again and it will turn green. Once its green then select the rom u want to flash and ur ready to go.

Thanks again. From your instructions I can tell that the phone is hardware UNlocked. I've previously gotten in to download mode. also, I see some differences in how you describe the root process. The update.zip is 633kb, I'll try to redownload it again... also, when I hit reinstall packages I am not prompted with yes/no, it just does it. It is a very quick process, and then it auto reboots the phone, but you said it should bring me back to recovery. I'm not sure why that would be happening
I'll mess around with this some more tonight. Hopefully I can nail this down. Sorry to be a PITA.

yah it should bring u back to green recovery after doing it twice! Yah that was my bad it asks u yes or no when flashing...lol!

Try Superoneclick root! That always works for me. When u reinstall packages and it reboots, clockwork usually has NOT been installed, I always Odin then install Tom Manager, flash Clockwork, then its off to the races!

I've been going over the suggestions all night. I feel like I'm following the instructions... not that they are even that difficult. I get the update.zip on my sd card, I boot in to stock recovery (blue) I reinstall packages, the phone reboots in to normal boot mode, I reboot in to recovery and reinstall packages again. I repeat this process multiple times hoping that one of these times I'm going to see a green recovery. I know it's all smooth sailing from there. I even recorded a short clip of me doing this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPreHj16UEU
Is it possible that i've tried so many different way of doing this that I have the phone in a weird state, and now these guides aren't working due to those previous attempts? I tried super1click... wound up getting an error "Getting mount path" ... "failed"

A simple way to check for root would be to download Terminal Emulator from the market and type in "su" without the quotations. If you get $ or permission denied you are not rooted. If you get a super user prompt followed by a # you should have root. Also which rom are you on now? If you are on stock Kb5 the recovery could be giving you some issues trying to flash the CWM recovery or at least for me it did. I suggest using ODIN to go back to JFD, then using super one click root (make sure your screen is set to not go off for the 10 or 30 minute time frame) I suggest this because I have had the "failure to mount" issues many times and it only seems to happen if my phone screen goes off while attempting the root. Once super one click completes, reboot your phone, install Rom manager, then reboot into recovery. You will have to select re install packages from there. The clockwork screen will be green as a few others have stated. I have attached an image below of clockwork, mine is orange since it's cm7 but yours will look similar,but green. From here just choose install from zip sd card, choose zip and flash away. Best of luck to you!

Is there something that removes the root access when you reboot the phone? I flashed the recovery for Galaxy S Vibrant (NOT Vibrant MTD) and was able to get to CWR (green), but sometimes when I go in to recovery it is back to blue... if I reinstall packages it takes me to green. Along those same lines I notice SU keeps asking me if the same application can have SuperUser permissions, so it seems like something is not sticking.

are you on 2.1 or 2.2? if you'r on 2.2 and use the update.zip it wont work you have to use superoneclick root ,happened to me too.

Thanks for responding. The phone was on 2.1 because I used ODIN to go back to JFD.
I've since sold the phone (didn't care for it much) and gotten a G2X (which I'm also not wild about). Thanks for all the help everyone!

Having a bit of an issue with NAND HD2

Hey guys, I just tried to do the whole NAND android thing on my HD2, but I've hit a snag, I flashed the radio, installed HSPL 2.08 and that Mag thing (the thing with the 12 menu options) and Clockworkmod with 150mb partition and they work all fine, In this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948&page=147
I got up to:
3. FLASHING A CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM
1. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
2. In the Clockwork Mod main menu select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then 'Yes' on the next screen
3. When the data wipe is complete, select 'install zip from sd card' in the main menu
4. Go down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select
5. Scroll down to your CWM Rom (which you should have copied to the Root of your Storage Card) and select it
6. Select 'Yes' from the options and wait until you get a message saying 'Install from sdcard complete
Note: You can repeat steps 3-5 if you have more zips to install such as gps data or screen mods
7. Once finished press the 'Back' button to get to the previous menu screen
8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
NOTE: The first boot of your Rom will take alot longer than subsequent boots so leave it and give it time (15 minutes max)

Can I just put this on my SD card and install it through the CWM I have on my phone at the moment?
Or do I have to completely wipe my device again and start from scratch?

best would be to clear it all the way to prevent any problems

dont worry your radio looks good and the clear and restart is pretty quick

but if you really wanna save time try it through cm first maybe ill work correctly

Thanks mate that one seems to work, but now I've got this flashy X thing on my screen, is that supposed ot happen?
UPDATE:
Yay its working, awesome. I just installed it through clockwork mod, had no issues.
Is there some sort of task manager I can see to terminate programs in this version of Android?

I've got PSX4Droid on it now, I'm trying to play Metal Gear Solid but she's a bit laggy, stuttering sound and slow frame rate.
Anyone else had this issue?

there is task killer on the market

[Q] Help: Installing Rom over existing ROM

I have an HD2 that I had someone flash to android for me.
The phone initially functioned pretty well, although i immediately noticed that the phone would sometimes crash when I launched Navigator.
Months down the road, the phone began crashing more frequently, and now has become a serious concern for me. The phone will crash when running youtube, gps (google & navigator), and sometimes with the camcorder.
Sometimes it will just restart- out of nowhere.
I have about 120 apps- just mentioning-- not sure if this makes a difference--
So I've decided that i would like to change the Rom.
I've been reading through the forum for a while-- I would like to be pointed to the best reference for proceeding with this-- since I haven't actually done this before.
Will I need to go through the process of radios and stuff-- not sure, since i already have an android rom running on the system.
What is one of the better Rom's available, with working features?
Thanks in advance for any help--
here is a shot of my current system:

well i'll say if you ask a 10 people here what ROM is best your bound to get 20 different responces. this is simply because some people rather sence based, some like miui and some prefer CyanogenMod. what i would suggest is a ROM thats rather easy to flash & use so you can get an idea of how to flash it. after you feel comfortable you can check out the vast Android builds the hd2 has to offer.
i would suggest either rafdroid hd found here or bluetopia hd found here. both builds are very easy to flash, just make sure you follow the directions closely and you wont have a problem. you dont need to change the radio more then likely since its probably already been done before. please note that bluetopia is meant for tmous users and not 512. personally i'd check out rafdroid hd anyway just because it has a very detailed description on how to flash the ROM.
both of those are sence builds but if you rather a non-sence base you can look at this webpage for a ROM you rather flash. it lists tons of builds to go through so pick one that you feel would be better for you.

Glad to see a fellow hd2 user on Rafdroid HD.
Yes Rafdroid HD is one of the completed sense roms but is not the latest.
Latest roms have sense 3 but will have bugs
You will need this (ClockWorkMod. aka CWM) Flash magdlr first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044830
Depending on rom, you will have to choose cwm partition size. RafDroid Hd uses 400mb. Other roms may have to set custom partition size.Click Here for Rafdroid HD
Lastly, you may need sd-ext3 partition. Recommended 1Gb
1)
...If you are still on magdlr flashing method and not cwm boot to magdlr menu.(Hold power button till you see a menu). Press Android Hardreset.(Call button to select, volume keys up/down)
...If on CWM already, boot to magdlr menu and select Recovery. Press the "delete data/factory reset"
2)
Flash a new cwm partition using USB flasher option.
3)
Put rom in sd card (do not unzip the rom, leave it as .zip)
4)
Boot to CWM and select install zip from sdcard. Navigate to rom file and select. Flashing may take up to 15mins or more.(Just be patient, do NOT remove battery when it is flashing halfway, just leave it alone)
5)
Once done press reboot system. First boot may take longer to load. Once it boots to setup phone screen, youre good to go!

OK-- I'm not really following all of this CWM stuff-- I watched the guy who put android on my phone go through the process-- and asked him to briefly detail me the steps--
he never mentioned anything about cwm... so what exactly is that?
since android was already flashed to my device-- what would be the best process of removing the current android system and installing another?
i powered up my phone while holding down volume key--
its reads
PB81120 SSB3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
serial

i also know that i have a magldr---
how do i know whether i have tmous or 512?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
basically, cwm allows you to flash android roms without using a computer to install. (as opposed to daf.exe roms, which you need to tether to the computer.) it is much more than that, but that is all you need to know now. but read the thread above.
if your hardkey buttons are green/red it is tmousa, 1024
if they are not, it is 512

So- another question-- can anyone take a guess at why my phone is crashing so often--
could it be the number of apps i have downloaded (over 120-- mostly stored to SD)
could it be conflicts in the current ROM being used?
Might it be the battery?
When the ROM was freshly added, the system ran perfectly well, with the exception of Navigator crashing once in a while--
I've probably been running with Android for over 6 months now--
its been acting up for about 3 months now.
problems i often encounter:
crashes when i run-
navigator, gps, youtube, sometimes camcorder
forces closes apps somewhat frequently
I have my system clocked down to around 800mhz on conservative mode, via setCpu, because i feared it was running too hot.

thanks much-- ive read all the posted links--
what i'd like to know-- once i install cwm--
is there a need to wipe the existing rom, before installing another--
or do you just install the desired rom?

yes back up everything 1st. i also like to make a copy of my sd card on my computer. then when your about to flash a ROM you will need tp wipe data & cache. once you've wiped them both you'll need to go down to advanced and select that, go to delvic and wipe that. press back and now you are finally ready to flash the rom by selecting install rom from sd. after it runs dont be alarmed but it can take several mins for it to go through the process. when it says its done then reboot the phone. the boot up time will depend greatly on the rom you've chosen so be patient. it can take up to 10-15 mins for your phone to completly reboot.

this is where i get confused---
where do I "wipe" anything-- what program do i use to do this--
and if I'm "wiping" memory, will i need to reinstall programs like magldr, or any radios, again?
you said "go down to advanced"--- 'advanced' in what running program?

you wipe whats listed above in magldr. you can enter magldr by turning off the phone, then turn on the phone but hold the power button down. you will see magldr pop up if its installed. option 8 is recovery you scroll down my pressing vol up and vol down. to select press the green talk button.
so when you enter magldr you go to option 8, it will go to cwr (recovery) then scroll using vol down/up to wipe data. press the green talk to wipe. do the same thing to wipe cache..then scroll down to advanced and select that by pressing green talk. scroll down to delvic and wipe that by pressing green talk. press back and then select install from sd. now you are able and ready to install a rom. simply select the zip file of the rom you want thats on your sd card. (sorry this should have been listed above..place the rom you want on your sd card) now select the rom by scrolling up or down by vol keys and press talk to select your rom. it will begin flashing. at this point it can take a few mins so dont panic. after it completes you will need to press back button and the reboot phone. when you flash a rom sometimes it can take as long as 10-15 mins for it to boot up. take this time to review and make sure you did every step as its been said and you followed all the instructions listed.
you need to wipe everything between flashes because sometimes there is left over code/data etc that can interfer and mess up your phone. it does not wipe anything like magldr/radio/rom..it really just prepares it for it to except a new rom by deleteing the old data. its the same thing as a factory reset really.

Choosing wipe data/factory reset wipes all the partitions,, cache,dalvik, etcetera, ,, no need to manually clear all the different bits one by one.

yes but a little extra safety precautions never hurt anyone

Watch the screen when you do 'wipe data's, it clears the cache, data,dalvik,sd-ext.... so if you then do them individually too you are wiping already wiped partitions.

i know it goes through them all, i been flashing a looong time since the days of winmo 6. personally i like the comfort of making sure as do a lot of other people here on XDA do. im not the 1st person to suggest doing this. i've seen numerous people give these instruction & i still feel its a good way of double checking before flashing a ROM.

if you installed clockwork mode on your phone, it's easy to install a custom rom.
To get VR 13 you have to download the rom first and copy it to your SD card root. After that you have to reboot your phone into recovery mode, by pressing for a few seconds Home + Power button when the phone is OFF.
After entering the recovery mode, i recommend you do the next steps that are very easy?
1. Backup you existing ROM (the is a section that is called Backup and Restore)
2. Wipe phone data
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Go to advanced -> and wipe dalvik
5. Press back to get back to the main menu and chose to install zip from SD card and after that Chose the ZIP and select the VR 13 ZIP and install it.
6.After installation i recommend that you flash Flykernel 13. You install it just like the rom. You chose the zip and install it. After flashing the kernel you reboot your phone and wait 10 minutes
7. When the phone is ready it enters setup mode and you know what to do from there
8. Ejnoy the new rom
If you have any other problems leave a message.

thanks for the info.... when you say save to the SD card root, what exactly do you mean... sorry it will be the first time I try and flash a ROM... and will this work on my Telus phone as I am in Canada not the UK and lastly when I back up my existing ROM the Back up and Restore is this in my ROM manager on on the phone menu, Mike

Sorry missed the other questions
1)Yes it should work in Canada
2)The backup is saved to your SD-card in the clockworkmod-folder, it will then display in rom manager (if it's installed).
You can also get to the backup through the recovery. (The same place were you installed the rom) by holding home+power on startup

You need to install a recovery.
Tap "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" in rom manager. When it's done follow stefpaul's instructions

erase/wipe everything.. EVERYTHING
install the virtuous unity ROM
and thats it. start from scratch.. its your best bet

DO NOT restore system data with Titanium. It might easily cause the problems you're describing. And of course, DO NOT restore /data partition from nandroid backup (the one you made using ROM Manager or directly in recovery), when it isn't a part of the ROM you've backed up and restored too.
You can selectively back up and restore SMS/MMS/Call log, and also WiFi/Bluetooth/bookmarks and some more useful settings. But it's hard in Titanium, you need to know which system app contains the info you need. You can search the internet and you'll see (these apps are marked in green in app list). The rest of system settings you should set up from scratch for any system, if you expect it to function trouble-free.
Wipe your phone clean, reinstall a ROM and restore user apps only, to begin with, and see if it stops the issues you're having (which will most likely happen). And if you like Sense, you'll be better off installing Virtuous Unity, as Grimey pointed above me. One ROM with virtually 0 bugs.

If u like Sense 3.0, LeeDroid has 0 bugs as well. Been usin it for weeks...

you need to get s-off
you need to get root
you need to install a recovery
then you download the virtuous unity ROM from the development section or the virituousrom.com website. put it in your sd card. load recovery and wipe your system and cache and dalvik, then install the ROM..

So my phone is s-off and root i just don't know how to the install recovery if i can't find the market app and i don't know how to download it.

absolutely nothing to do with the market.
download the recovery image (clockworkmod or 4ext). rename it to recovery.img for easier access. place it in the same folder as adb/fastboot for easier access.
get into your bootloader, then get to fastboot mode, it should say something like "fastboot USB"
connect it to your PC
now in the adb/fastboot folder on your PC, hold shift and right-click then click on "open command window here"
finally, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
now when its done, you can reboot into the bootloader and get into the recovery, from there you just install the ROM

Thank you again, now could you tell me how i get the "adb/fastboot folder " i googled it and found an link to download(not sure if it was the right thing to do)
another thing i have the clockworkmod already on my phone but just in case downloaded the 4ext to my PC and saved it as "recovery.img" now what should i do?
thank you for ur petience

if you already have clockwork mod, all you have to do is make sure you phone is off (pull the battery, or turn off hibernate mode)
hold down power + volume down
you will enter the bootloader, give it a few seconds to load
use the volume keys to scroll to recovery and hit power to select
then simply wipe everything and flash the rom
ps. youll need android SDK to get the latest adb and fastboot files

Honestly, if I were you, I would go ahead & flash 4ext recovery. It is more stable & from the looks of things, you don't need any more problems than you already have. After you get recovery flashed, or if you choose to use cwm anyway, do this:
1- hold volume down + power you should enter the bootloader.
2- scroll down with the volume button until recovery is hilighted, & press power button to select.
3- You should be in recovery, and if so, choose "wipe data / factory reset" then "wipe cache" then "wipe dalvik"
4- Next, " format system, format data, format boot"
5 Next, choose install from sdcard.. choose zip from sdcard & find the Rom you have on your sdcard. Wait until it installs completely. Then reboot.
6. At this point be very patient and let it load. It could take several minutes...up to 5 or 6
And in a nutshell that is it..

If I were the op I would leave my phone completely stock and do some more research before proceeding any further. If you break your phone you won't know how to fix it with your current android knowledge.

I agree...I made that mistake & Jack_R1 helped me til he got pissed off,(rightfully so), & I realized it only takes a couple of days to read people's situations and you really learn more that way. I started off with an HTCDEV unlocked device, and it took me 2 days to figure out that I bootlooped it by flashing a 2.21 boot.IMG on a 2.34 Rom. I ended up figuring it out w/ jack_r1 helping me. Finally I relocked it and rooted it properly. Now, I can do it from start to finish in about 5 minutes or so...downgrading and all. But its best to read til u understand.

Thank you all!!!
Would you believe me if i told you that it was a problem with the battery? I changed it to a new one and its all good (so far) i really hope that was the problem. If anything I'll do the steps that you adviced me ))
BUT I still have the problem to log in to the internet except google page and apps. I had it for a long time before but i don't know what causing it, i could log in with firefox thouh, what could be the problem?
thank you all again.

I would. A new battery fixed my co-worker's Desire S, that started crashing all around.
