clockworkmod not letting me backup. Samsung Galaxy S. - Galaxy S I9000 General

Im sorry if this has been brought up before, but i couldnt find a thread with the same problem.. Whenever I try to do a backup with ClockWorkMod(before you ask yes i have flashed it) Anyway i click on the backup option, my phone then resets and boots into recovery, at which point it says "install default apk-files. please wait" and "install default apk-files. finished" and just stays there, with the normal recovery options, reboot, apply update, wipe data etc etc.. My phone is a rooted Galaxy S running stock Froyo.
Thanks in advance,
-b0s-

when you are in recovery what is the first thing it says ?? does is say android recovery system <3e> or does it have somethin like ClockWork Mod x.x.x.x (x being numbers)

It says "Android system recovery (3e)".

Had this same issue at one point, but this resolved it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4#post10624454
Do yourself a favor and download Root Explorer from the Market so that you can apply the the file supplied in the zip.

the link to that thread is broken.

Not sure what happened but try this one:

thanks for that ill give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Nope still not working, thanks for the suggestion anyway

you need 2e to flash unsigned zips, your still on stock recovery.
quickest easiest way just flash speedmod or voodoo kernel, gives the phone extra performance too.
or if you just want recovery flash CF-ROOT.

Can you please provide the steps of what you've done? You said that this didnt work for you but did you follow the instructions? Did you reboot your phone into android recovery and choose the option for installing the update.zip? Are you using Rom Manager?

You're most likely trying to do a backup using rommanager. Same thing happens to me. When on the 3e screen just reboot and then straight away enter recovery using the 3 button method. It then enters 2e recovery and begins to backup automatically. Or just start the backup with the 3 button method instead.

That is what im doing yes. I have tried the 3 button method, but it still puts me into 3e recovery.

after restart it said the same thing--failed signature etc etc..
is there any simple way to install cwm recovery for gt i9003 ...

[Q][Q]Phone not using clockwork recovery[Q][Q]

i can only boot into clockwork mod recovery using the standard 3 button method. When i use Rom manager or Root manager to go into recovery it takes me into stock android recovery, does anyone know why?
also my epic will not let me flash noobln's rom, it says the file is messed up despite downloading several time?? however I was able to flash the boss rom.
Sounds like you lost your root.
Mine does the same thing concerning using rom manager to boot into recovery. Have to manually boot into recovery. Root is fine though.

It looks like you used noobnl one click to install the CWM recovery to blm8- if you also want rom manager support you need a kernel that supports it on bml7- you can flash that via the CWM- if you search you will find a stock kernel that has CWM support along with several other roms

I don't have it flashed but the latest mixup lists rom manager support- what happens when you try to boot into recovery via rom manager- do you get an "unsigned error"?

Yep i get the unsigned error but using the manual method works. Im reading its because i used the 1 click clockwork method. I used noobnls newest final clockwork.
When i did it koushs way it would work with rom manager.

I might not be understanding your post correctly but I have both methods working - I can manually boot into CWM via three button and also get to CWM via root manager- I used noobnls final and then used it to flash koushs kernel

Sorry. I am running stock rom. Mixup kernal on top of it with rom manager support. Then have noobnls clockwork flashed on top of mixup kernel.
Last week i went back to stock. I rooted then installed the hacked clockwork then installed koushs kernel to get permanent clockwork and it worked from rom manager as well as the three button way. I then flashed mixup over koushs kernel and that's when it quit working from rom manager.
I am wondering if i can reflash koushs kernel and then mixup because before when i did it mixup didn't support clockwork. I didn't flash koushs way on my new epic.
So basically i would have done this.
Noobnls one click with rom manager and fixed su> koushs kernel> mixup kernel????

I dont understand but Ill try
Mixup Supports clockwork and rom manager so using market download it and install clockwork recovery.
If you ever have to boot into either STOCK recovery or the THREE FINGER clockwork RECOVERY METHOD.
Navigate to INSTALL UPDATE.ZIP select and you will now be in the proper clockwork recovery
REMEMBER ALWAYS BACKUP

yeah Same happens to me using Switch pro widget. This new version 1.9 has the ability to reboot to recovery.. everytime I rebooted into recovery, it brought me to stock recovery. Seems like the clock work kept failing to delete the stock recovery, but if I press and hold volume down, on/off and camera it boots into clockwork recovery.

yeah apparently with the epic, they are still working out the kinks, i got Rom manager functioning correctly, but Root manager still boots into stock recovery. im guessing the devs of these apps will eventually fix this

From my limited understanding the epic has two recovery locations- one (bml8) is accessed through the 3 button push. The other (bml7) is accessed through adb reboot recovery or rom manager. Use noobnl CWM installer to install to bml8. To use rom manager (to place CWM on bml7) your kernel must support it (i.e. you have to flash to something else other than the stock kernel). hope that makes sense!
In some senses this is nice- if your rom gets messed up you can still access the recovery via the 3 button push
Also before you use rom manager for the first time make sure there is no "update.zip" on the root of your sdcard

[Q] [H] htc cant mount /dev/block/vold/179.9

Hey guys -
So this is what is going on..
I had JT's Clean Rom installed, and everything was working fine however it was some what buggy so I wiped clean and re-flash. However, it did not remove all my data. So i went into partition manager and tried to delete the data and system. I think deleting system was a bad idea.... ( i know now ). So now when I go into recovery I try to update.zip to go into clockwork now I run into this error E: cant mount /dev/block/vold/179.9. I tried to reinstall recovery from ODIN which worked however getting same error...
Am i screwed?
I think I had Voodoo kernel as well
I did read, and I did search, I've been around this block a few times, I just think I messed up and its my own fault.
try removing voodoo and then reboot
and then reflash stock recovery using odin twice
and then the CWM recovery through odin

There is no such rom for sgs. And how to install other roms - well, open any rom thread, almost all of them have excellent how to section (and its not hard - download and apply in cwm). Id recommend Docs ROM.

so we are going to try something:
-Download the update.zip from attachment AND the rom zip you want to flash
-put both of them at the root of the internal SDcard (do not rename them)
-disable voodoo lagfix
-reboot in 2e recovery
-choose "apply update.zip" (you may have to made it twice)
-once you are in CWM recovery: install zip from SDcard -> choose zip from SDcard -> select your new rom zip
-it will ask you to confirm flash so choose yes
At this step, it should flash the new rom...
Once it is done, reboot your phone
Report here if it does not work...

Quick question about ROM Manger

Hello again,
I have used the search engine and google to answer a pretty simple question but it didn't have my question, it may sound silly but I'm just taking precautions.
I'm running on JVK Gingerbread without bootloaders, will soon to root it with GingerBreak (Hopefully it'll work). Anyway, I don't have a recovery mode on my phone due to flashing to JVK, so if before I install ClockWorkMod via ROM Manger, does it require Recovery Mode to be there already?
I have GT-i9000
Thanks

Your phone already has 3e Recovery. Rom Manager would simple flash CWM Recovery on top and that would be your new recovery. However, it is highly advised that you DO NOT flash anything before you ensure you have 3-button combo enabled first, ie. Download mode and Recovery mode.
But doesn't clockwork mod give you the three button and download option?
Because then what's the point of trying to get 3E recovery mode when CWM will replace it?
Oh wait, it's just incase if anything goes wrong, including flashing CWM..

The three button combo has nothing to do with cwm.
Also I agree that you should not do ANYTHING until you do the 3 button combo fix...search for it.

trouble getting to clockwork recovery

Just got a new Vibrant, and I'm having difficulty getting to clockwork recovery. This is my 3rd Vibrant, my previous 2 were rooted also. I've never had any trouble getting to clockwork recovery, but this phone has been a real pita.
In the past I would just hold the power button and select recovery from the options. Or I would go to ROm Manager and select it there. Now with this new phone, neither of those options work. Any other way to get to clockwork recovery?
I think you have to hold both volume buttons and power until the Vibrant logo dissapears, then it should enter to recovery mode...
That's how it works for me.
If you get Rom Manager, it has an option to boot into recovery mode.

^ are you trying to flash a rom?
check the noob guide, I put a second update.zip in there that is CWR... you will need to have a rom on your sd to flash if you want to root/flash though. It does not root your phone like the other update.zip (JFD).

Wow, that actually worked, lol.
What changed that I couldn't do it thru the power button or ROM Manager like I have been doing for the past year?
I can't say with certainty. I have tried several times to tell Koush there is a problem, but he seems to think its me.
No Clockwork recovery after ODIN back to stock
Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy s t-mobile)
rooted, ran a version of Trigger for awhile. Tried a MIUI rom yesterday. it barely worked for me. Had to ODIN back to stock. (Thanks XDA gang for helping me figure that one out). Anyway, back to stock. Re-rooted but cannot get clockwork recovery to flash. I try using ROM manager but when I go into recovery it is stock samsung recovery.
FYI, I also tried the second update.zip that is suppose to flash CWR option from NOOB GUIDE.. No luck
Help appreciated, I am a noob but I did make it this far w/o asking for help.
thanks in advance.
To do it from stock you have to reinstall packages 2 times in a row then it will go cwr and you can flash from there.
Seems like. everyone's forgetting this step
