it should, though you could easily back it up to your pc which I would recommend anyway, to back it up simply copy the clockworkmod directory from your sdcard to your pc. and the samsung-firmware site has the XXJF3 firmware available so you could actually simply flash that through ODIN to get the stock firmware if you ever need to repair your phone. oh and remember that the roms require different firmwares, the samset rom requires the jm5 firmware and the modaco rom requires the jg5, so flashing jm5 and then the modaco rom won't work.

apparently what i did to get past that is...
i went into rom manager -> pressed [Flash Clockmod Recovery]
it'll prompt that you have the latest CMR installed.
then just do your thing, i'm restoring now as we speak. screwed something up ):
Hey there guys!
Excelent Work, ROM Manager boots into Clockwork without a problem
I only switched from HTC Magic to Samsung Galaxy a few hours ago, but i liked the *security* of having a Clockwork Recovery flashed onto the internal phone. Just imagine if my ROM doesn't boot, how can i access the Clockwork Recovery?
I'd like to flash the Clockwork Rom into the phone itself.
Is this doable? How can i do this? Any1 already did this and care to share the experience... ?
Cheers and congrats again for the Work. Undoubtly the safest way to backup a phone!! =)

Hi,
I did the recovery thing. Now, I can see a folder called 'Clockworkmod' in root of my internal sd. Inside that folder there are four things. 1. .recoveryinfo 2. 'backup' folder with files ending with .img extension 3. 'download' folder and 4. zip file called 'recovery-update.zip'
Which one of them should be used incase I flash new firmware and I have to go back to the original ROM? Should I rename recover-update.zip to update.zip and go to download mode to get back to the original ROM ? And what are those .img files in 'backup' folder. How do I use them ? I would be grateful if you can provide some information.
EDIT: I have Bell samsung galaxy s vibrant (Canada).
Stock Bell firmware:
PDA/Phone: i9000ugjg9
CSC: i9000bmcjg9

Hey guys, i see that no one has answered to my question so the process might be unsafe or a bit difficult.
So lets picture this scenario:
- I have a nandroid backup of my working ROM in my external SD Card
- Then I screw my ROM entirely unpurposedly
- I hadn't put the update.zip in the internal SD Card
How do I recover my backup?

Hi , I have a question ,,
After installing Rom Manager and take a backup , I have a update.zip folder in sdcard. now if I want to install a rom I should rename the rom to update.zip and copy it in the SDcard. so there is a conflict ,,, If I remove the former so how this nandroid backup could help me if I have a problem in flashing a new rom ?!

I followed your steps and tried to back up my rom. The problem was that after entering covery menu the backup didn't work and now Titanium Backup says i don't have SU on my rom. For some reason ii can't use titanium now and i am agraid to use the clockwork recovery again. Can you help me?
Hello.
I've started a clockworkmod recovery and has been standing still on the
"Kanal" or "Channel" and the "eurosport_HD.png" file.
Is it normal that it's stuck there for a while, or have something gone wrong?
Tried for the third time now, and also tried cache wipe.
Thanks for any support.

i leave the clockwork update.zip on my card.. no reason not too. .i keep a copy of the root update.zip on my external sd card.. once you get your phone recovered with clockwork you can always copy it back to the sd card to root.
but if the internal sd card gets hosed you are hosed.. but that goes without saying.. (as the backup and the update.zip need to be on this internal sd)
hi, finally i got my sgs today, and the first thing i did was downloading the recovery update.zip from website fired it up by running the update.zip from stock recovery and make a nandroid backup, so now i have a clean backup of I9000AUJF1 firmware which seems to be austria only. so now the next step i did was rooting, installing the lagfix through Tayutama´s update.zip and the oc kernel. then i was courious to see if the kernel would be restored through the nandroid restore, and bam... it did not, so the kernel restore issue has nothing to do with partition size at all since i did never flash another firmware with odin.
just wanted you to know that, and ask for a solution.
in my nandriod folder is a cache.img, data.img, datadata.img, nandroid.md5 and system.img
dont know if kernel is somwhere in there...

28First things first, if you flashed a previous version of Clockwork Recovery using Odin, FLASH BACK TO A STOCK KERNEL. (There's another link in the forum to do this, I can't find it at the moment)
This recovery is *very* safe to use. It does NOT flash your kernel; it is a completely uninvasive recovery method.
How it works: The recovery is packaged as an update.zip that you run from STOCK recovery. The update.zip unpacks Clockwork Recovery onto the ramdisk and restarts recovery. When you reboot, it reverts back to the original, unmodified, stock recovery. So, you will need to keep the recovery on the root of your SD card as an update.zip, and apply the zip every time you want to start Clockwork.
HOWEVER, if you use ROM Manager, all of the recovery installation and management are done for you!
Installation instructions:
- Download ROM Manager from the Market.
- Flash Recovery.
- Choose Galaxy S i9000 as your phone.
- Accept the Superuser prompt.
- Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.
- On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
- Watch the backup go!
That's it! This is completely painless and safe! There is no need for Odin anymore to replace the recovery or flash updates!
If you appreciate my work, please buy the Premium version of ROM Manager!
If you can't seem to get ROM Manager off the market, you can get it from my homepage:

Thanks in advance, u can mail me at ninotje1993@gmail.com
How did you root? SuperOneClick?
Can you get into Download Mode? (Volume down + Home + Power)
What happens when you do the 3 button recovery (Volume Up + Home + Power) does it go into Samsung Standard 3e recovery?
If yes, then go about flashing CF-Root from Chainfire here.
This will give you 2e Recovery and ClockWork Mod.
Other options to consider if your friend's 3 button modes are not working:
[FIX] Release: 3-button combo fix for any firmware version
Another option - flash a kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher which have root and busy box, 2e recovery.
[APP][Update] SGS kernel flasher v1.5.9 - flash a kernel within android.
Be sure that you have root access - thing is I'm not sure if this is the way to go about things if you've not got your 3 button recoveries working.
You need to be more specific when asking for this kind of help though.
Current Rom, firmware, etc.
Hope some of that helps.
PS! Dropped you an email as well - too much time on my hands
Should be working though 1when you upgrade to froyo you also upgrade to recovery 3e
you need to revert to recovery 2e
