Fix Vibrant 4G Clockword recovery Mod and use ROM Manager for Backup and ROM Flashing

I am modifying this post removing some steps:

Note that you can always go back to orignal Odin ROM using Vibrant Download Mode in the link below:

You should know what you are doing, otherwise I am not reponsible for any device brick.

1- Use SuperOneClick 1.7 to gain root (USB debugging enabled).

Open SuperOneClick and run Shell Root with your phone plugged in.

Use Rage option, then once done, reboot the phone and verify root using "Root Checker" from the Market.

2. Download "3e_recovery_installer.zip" from here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423

run the 3e Recovery Installer. When finished, close.

3. Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery via ROM Manager from market by selecting "Vibrant" when asked for phone type. Then reboot into recovery. (You may need to reboot your phone if you get stuck on the ROM Manager "Reboot to Recovery" screen) (Just reboot, then attempt to reboot into recovery again)

At the blue recovery select "reinstall packages". The first time will fail, run it once more, and you should now have the green CWM Recovery menu.

4. Install Kernel Flasher from the Market and backup the kernel.

5. use Rom Manager to flash Data and Dalvik init.d-busybox with data to SD update.zip to fix Data and Dalvik init.d-busybox from below link:

6- When finshed you should be able to backup and restore the ROM using Rom Mananger.

What do you mean by no network

I think it means no signal or cell service until you re flash your kernal back up..

Does this fix get cwm working for all features? Or just backup and restore?

Can anyone confirm this?

I have created a deodex zip file for orignal vibrant 4G rom and used rom manager to successfully flash it. I will post the rom later today.

I guess I'm the first casualty of this. I did everything to the letter in the post up to step five. Once i flashed 4g_sd-fix_New in rom manager it the phone rebooted and did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. It no factory reset my phone and neither the sd card nor the internal storage mount.

Any help would be appreciated here.

I got the same issue. Flashing back to stock now. It also wiped my entire SD card.
