Android Several questions/app requests

That's odd, not really sure what to tell you, are backups supported on the version of Clockwork you installed? You could maybe check for a newer version.

It's 2.5.1.2, which is the latest according to the official site.

I've asked it on XDA, they had a solution but I tried it and it didn't work. It seems to be quite a common problem, that increases the probability of it being fixed I guess.

It sounds like CWMR is saying it's installed when it isn't. Is your galaxy's a captivate? If so, take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242533 If you download the KH3 Odin kernel and flash it with heimdall.

If you haven't got a captivate, just look around for a CWM kernel in zimage format.

just wondering, what's the difference between a captivate and i9000? isn't it just the exactly the same phone, just with another name (captivate for us regions, i9000 for europe regions) ?

Captivate has a few minor hardware differances such as no front camera. But essentaily yes

I have a front camera, so no i9000? I want to get started on custom ROMs ASAP but this little thingy is frustrating the hell out of me. I don't even know if I'll even need that back-up, but it's better to be safe than sorry

 

[ThePowerOutage]

You do have an i9000. Just realized your in Europe.

As for the error, I can't think of anything that wouldnt delete all your data. If your okay with you data been deleted, look on the i9000 forums for an Odin/heimdall custom tomorrow. Make sure it doesn't have bootloaders though, as s that msame there is a small chance of bricking.

How did you install CWM? via ROM manager or flashing though Odin?

 

[ThePowerOutage]

Try flashing something like this ROM (Use the "One Click" method) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388342&highlight=odin
From there you will have rot and CWM.

Just make sure that there is no way your USB cable could drop out.

I already rooted with a one click program. If I do it via that link you gave me, won't that be a problem, double rooting and double installing CWM?

 

[Zalda]

still don't fixed, i don't get it

ROM Manager.

There's your problem, Install CF-Root by chainfire (no it won't double root, just re installs the root)

thanks for helping! but whay is this ODIN they keep talking about, i don't have that, what does it do?

 

[ProtoKun7]

Odin is a PC-side tool that allows you to flash files (kernels and the like) to the phone.

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

To make Astro show third party application APK files, you have to first go and enable third party applications. It's in the settings, I think.

If I'm not understanding correctly and you've already done so, then I don't know.

Thanks!
There are a lot of downloads on that page though and I don't exactly find my correct package I think....

my build number is:
GINGERBREAD.XWJVH

 

[The_Dragons_Mast]

I believe it's this CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip .

Thanks. Tried it with this, all the steps were completed successfully. Phone boots up fine but when I try to backup the ROM via the ROM Manager of CWM, I get the same error

.....
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

so wrong CF-Root file, or just the wrong method?
