A few weeks ago I flashed the Cognition V2.2 ROM and everything was fine until it started getting twitchy a few days ago. I tried to use the ROM Manager to restore the backup that was created during the flash but I keep getting the same error message and the phone does not seem to go into the Clockwork Mod Recovery but stays in the Android system recovery. The message says that the whole-file signature has failed to verify and that the installation was aborted. Does anyone have any idea how I can get my phone back to normal?

Common knowledge that the version of Cognition you are running is not supported by ROM Manager, it is 3e recovery and Clockwork needs 2e. You can update to the newer Cognition which has 2e recovery. I recommend you read the facts sheet befor flashing, the method you should use is Odin one click back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989, then master clear so that nothing is lingering from your previous setup, backup everything from your internal storage to your pc first, this will wipe everything from your internal, replace it after you finish Master clear. you should only replace the update.zip, ClockworkMod and your music, photo's and that stuff. Backup your apps using Titanium Backup.
Here's the link for the new Cognition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786532
So I tried what you recommended and got my phone back to the stock condition but I'm still not able to use ROM manager or flash another ROM. After I root the phone I install ROM Manager, flash it to the current edition and then try to reboot into recovery but when it gets to recovery it gives the following error message...
--Installing from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Also the header of the screen states that I am in Android system recovery <2e>. If I am not mistaken, shouldn't I be in recovery <3e>? If so how do I get there? I've tried flashing the stock Kernel but that didn't work and I even installed the internal betas correctly but no cigar.

in order to use rom manager (clockwork mod) you must be using 2e!

Touche, but the error still remains. Does anyone have any positive ideas? Like I stated before, I still cannot put my phone into clockwork mod recovery.

so put it in download mode, and use ODIN one click back to stock...then leave it the hell alone....
Like I said, I've already used Odin. Everything is back to stock except for the Kernel and a stock kernel install with Odin doesn't seem to work. Odin says that the install passed but nothing changes on the phone itself. All things considered, the phone is stock but not capable of going into Clockwork Mod recovery.

When you go into stock recovery now is it version 2e or 3e?

if you used the one click back to stock then you are on the stock kernel.....what makes you think you are not on the stock kernel?
The recovery is 2e
I believe that the kernel is not stock because when I look at the phone information it says that the kernel is
2.6.29

I'm not sure that it is stock or not but my gut tells me that it isn't.

Rom manager will work just fine with 2e recovery. Just delete any update.zip files you have in your home directory - then open rom manager and reflash clockworkmod the cappy - then you should be good to go.
As for whether or not that is the stock kernel I am not sure, but how can you tell just by looking at it if you don't know which kernel is the stock one?
I've mounted my internal and external sd cards and removed any updates but it still gives the same error. After I used the odin one-click to flash the stock rom I used the master clear as recommended. Now, if I am not mistaken, shouldn't that erase all of my user data? I reinstalled my espn app so I could follow my football team and the app still remembered my preferences and favorites. This makes me think that the master clear did not finish the job. Thoughts?

Master clear should've done that. If you are restoring your apps and settings using Titanium Backup then you are restoring user data which you should not do.
When you Master Clear is your device on and on the home screen, it needs to be. Don't Master Clear in Recovery mode or Download mode or it does nothing. Also you need to have debugging on.
2.6.29

That is the stock kernel. Just so you know if you are running stock with root you can simply place the update.zip from the Clockwork folder, you should have backed up before flashing and Master clear, back into your internal. ClockworkMod does fail on first attempt to flash sometimes, it happenned to me the first time I flashed it, the second time worked like a charm. Are you rooted? You need root to use ROM Manager and debugging should be on.

After you deleted the update.zip then opened rom manager and flashed clockworkmod it should of put a new update.zip on your phone in your home directory - can you confirm that this is the case?
Also you may not have had a successful master clear - you may want to do it again then redo odin3 one click. Also if I am remembering correctly I believe you have the option to clear cache or user data or both in stock recovery you may want to try that as well.
It all works now. The issue was with the master clear. I guess that I did try to run it in the download mode. Thanks a million guys, i really appreciate it.
Maybe I was a bit premature on that. ROM Manager works beautifully but I cannot install updates or flash a custom ROM. The Manager was able to backup the system correctly and enter clockwork mod recovery but it cannot install the update. If the update is on the internal SD it says that...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
and if the update is on the external SD it says that there is no such file or directory. Am I doing it wrong or is there still an underlying issue?

/sdcard/update.zip should only boot into clockwork recovery from stock recovery or boot to stock recovery from clockwork recovery if you flashed clockworkmod correctly from rom manager - and so long as you are not renaming any other files as update.zip after you flash clockworkmod recovery.
Which custom rom are you attempting to install?
I got it. The zip file was corrupted. Now, should I be able to boot into normal clockwork mod recovery with the Cognition 2.2 Beta 7 cuz when I try clockwork recovery it boots into normal recovery? I'm still a little hazy about all this.

When you first boot into recovery it should be stock recovery. While in stock recovery when you select reinstall packages it will reboot into clockwork recovery - if you flashed clockworkmod recovery correctly from rom manager and it put the appropriate update.zip into your home directory.
And just to note: don't be renaming any files as update.zip if you are using clockwork recovery to flash something.
Hi,
I really need some help as I began to get crazy about this.
I also have to mention it's my first time into Root/Mod/Custom/etc...
I Have a GT-I9000M (BELL) with Android 2.2 (version FROYO.UGJK4) Kernel 2.6.32.9
I successfully Rooted the phone with Superoneclic (Have Super User app in menu)
I Installed Rom Manager 3.0.0.0 Then authorized sudo when prompted to do it.
After that in the recovery menu of Rom Manager i've downloaded the Clockworkmod thing. (2.5.1.2)
I've tried to boot into clockworkmod but I got the standard Recovery Boot from Samsung instead. (tried to re-install rom manager to see if work but no)
I also tried to install it by using the update.zip version got here http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 and put it at the root of the internal sd.
Booted into the Samsung Recovery Boot and press apply Update.zip then i got
the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborded
(Tried Twice still nothing new)
The goal of all this is to install Darkys_v6.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Voodoo_signed seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
What do I do wrong???? Help me please i'm tired of the Android Froyo version from Samsung+Bell
To get ClockWorkMod compatibility, you need to use ROM Manager to start them.
This way, Voodoo recognize it's CWM recovery, intercept the call to the update.zip and install Ext4 wrappers.
If the new version is not yet available in ROM, be patient
I found the recovery app doesn't work very well. I suggest installing a kernel with CWM , that's compatible with Bell hardware? via Odin and you're good to go. From recovery menu you can do anything, including a full backup.

You can find the thread called 'CFroot' at the android development section.
Download the correct version based on your current firmware and follow the instructions there. When you are done, your recovery would be 2e.

Sorry dude, the only solution would be to flash to an Eclair ROM (which by default has a 2e recovery) or flash Froyo which is supported by CFroot.
I have the same issue as well. Wanted to try Darky's v6.0 rom, however stucked in getting to CWM since I'm on 3e. I did look at CFRoot, but nothing stated for JK4.

This Might Work.... Although I Have A Different Phone (Cdma Hero), But Had A Similar Issue....
The Way I Was Able To Correct My Problem Was To Re-Install A Older Version Of "Rom Manager" (Let Me Know If You Have or Need A Older Version, I Keep'em All Now!! Lol!!
Also In "Rom Manager" I Would Try To Flash Alternate Recovery, And Then Clockwork Recovery Right After!! Make Sure It Says *Current Recovery* -And- *Latest Recovery* (Up At The Top) Then Try To Boot Into Recovery!!

Fresh Start
Ok well I got a good night of sleep so i'll resume where I am
I learned yesterday the following:
CMW: Clockworkmod
OCLF: One Clic Lag Fix
Now what I could try is to get back to Original Firmware of the GT-I9000M (Eclair) and from then what I've understood is that I don't need 2e recovery? Am I right?
From then I could install Darky without anything.
By going back this way will i'll stay root of will I have to root again?
If all this is right, how do i go back to eclair? can it be done via the 3e recovery menu or I have to flash? Is so I don't know anything about odin and the way it work so i'll need your help loll

here's what I did now:
Used Odin and Flashed my firmware to the previous one (2.1 Eclair.UGJH2)
Re-rooted
Re-installed Rom Manager
When in recovery mode i see 2e but it's the recovery from Samsung. Can't see the CWM......
Think i'm pretty close compared to yesterday from Darky 6.0 but STILL NEED CMW lolll
Fist timer Root and Flash never easy lolll
OK GUYS GOOD NEWS!!!!
Don't know what I did but CWM WORK NOW!!!!
What i've read somewhere is to never open the zip files (what i did). Got the idea of flushing them and download it again. This time it worked.
Gonna let you know when running Darky
----!!!!WORKING!!!!----
I Have Darky 6.0 Running on my Bell GT-I9000M!!!!!
First I want to thanx everyone of you who helped me out! You've been a great help.
Also I want to get the summary of my actions so Others could take advantage of this thread.
-Froyo version FROYO.UGJK4 (that is the official GT-I9000M update from BELL Mobility) was painfull to do anything so I downgraded to the eclair.UGJH2 (that is the Original Firmware from Bell)
First I've Rooted my phone using Superoneclic 1.5.5.0 that you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 (enable debuging mode on the phone in Settings-applications-developpement-debuging) then plug the phone and on superoneclic press ROOT...wait and follow indications
Then went to ODIN 1.7 that you can find here
http://www.general-search.com/fileinfo/20192867
You can find the BELL 2.1 firmware
here http://www.multiupload.com/ZNBT2RY5Y0 Password is samsung-firmwares.com
In odin i've used the 512.pit file (place it in the Pit section)
Then placed the 2.1 Firmware in the PDA section.
Took care Repartition, auto-reboot, F.Reset Time check box was check.
Booted in download mode (to get it right with odin i've booted in recovery first: Vol Up+Home+Power when bootscreen appear released it. After Pressed on Reboot now and immediatly pressed Vol DOWN+HOME+Power) I GOT THE BIG YELLOW LOGO OF ANDROID and in ODIN i got the Yellow icon appeared.
At this moment I've pressed START in odin and waited. The phone was acting like when updating through Kies.
When finished I was on ECLAIR
After, I've Re-Rooted the phone with superoneclic again.
Installed Rom Manager
Downloaded the CMW (CLockworkmod) that you can find here:
http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0 (DON'T OPEN THIS ZIP BECAUSE IT WILL BREAK THE SIGNATURE NEEDED TO VALIDATE THE FILE)
I've placed the update.zip file (CMW) at the root of the internal SD Card of the phone and rebooted into recovery mode. I went on the apply update.zip (first time it was not working, then second time it worked)
At this moment I was on Android 2.1, Rooted, and CWM Recovery was working.
To Install the Darky's v6.0 Gingerbread Edition, I've downloaded it here:
http://www.multiupload.com/YPQVS4WO9C (ONCE AGAIN DON'T OPEN THE ZIP)
I've placed it at the root of the phone (same place than update.zip)
Opened Rom Manager, and selected Install a Rom from SD Card.
I've selected the zip File and applied it.
Phone went into recovery mode by itself then started installing Darky. (took like 5 minutes but it is said to be between 5-10 minutes so...)
HURRAY I'M ON DARKY CUSTOM ROM!!!!
PS: (at boot screen GT-I9000M will change to GT-I9000), Boot Screen Animation will also change for the Nexus One Boot animation.
Took me a day and half from Noob to This but hope other Bell user (or SGS user) will find their solution here.
Now let me alone I have to play with my new toy lolll
Just got back home. I will follow your footsteps. Do you have 850 mhz band ?
You with Bell ? Any problem making and receiving calls using Darky's rom ?
Followed your steps. Now I'm running Darky's v6.0 rom.
Even if it's a Bell phone, i'm using it on rogers.
I don't have any band problems(yes i have the 850 band). In fact, since i'm on Darky it look like if the wifi and phone antenna is far better. I got reception in places i wasn't before...and can even say GPS lock my position accuratly in less than 10 sec
Everything is.better since darky run on my phone

Hey, can you please clarify the ODIN steps? I have the exact same problem seen here.
I've completed up until where you put the phone in download mode. I set up ODIN as described, then connected my phone via USB, then enetered Download mode - but I only get a yellow icon on the phone, not in ODIN. Have I gone wrong somewhere?
so i went to download mode and flashed back stock with odin i896 rogers,
rooted the phone was going to install firefly rom. But when i downloaded rom manager and tried to do the captivate clockworkmod flash it doesnt work. I have tried using a update.zip and everything from 3e recovery pressed the reinstall packages doesnt work. I have tried to copy the recovery file to the system/bin and stuff, still doesnt work. Any way to fix this.
Also, i saw in the reviews everybody with a captivate is having issues with that TODAY.
anybody know how to fix this? I have tried a recovery file replacement and all that doesnt work? Anybody? I have read other threads about this those files dont work...
If you have 3rd recovery issues. You need either get into download mode and odin to your stock firmware or use odin to flash a kernel with recovery built in using the standalone odin. I know that firebird offers an odin flashable kernel which you could use.
is their a way to downgrade from 3e to 2e, to be able to flash? for rogers 2.2?
What are you even talking about, in terms of 3e and 2e?
Just flash back to stock ROM, put update.zip in your root of storage, and once you've done that, reinstall packages TWICE, by now you should be in a green menu, this is the Clockwork Recovery menu. Using the volume keys and the power button, navigate to 'Install from .zip from sdcard', and select the ROM you want to install. Once you've done that, all you have to do is reselect it to confirm.
If that doesn't work, or it's telling you something funny when you try to install, your .zip is corrupt and you might need to redownload it.
I believe you can use sgs kernel flasher app to flash a new kernel. I would suggest which ever fire fly uses. This will fix your recovery and allow j you to flash the rom
i think this is a server issue with rom manager, because captivate cwm flash isnt working, i will try later.
If you have 3e recovery this won't make difference
this is a known issue of recovery 3e - signature issue.
you can do the followings for flashing the rom:
1. copy the update.zip to your sdcard root folder;
2. shut down your phone and use key combo to boot into recovery mode;
3. apply the change twice to get into cwm;
4. select your rom zip file and flash the rom;

not everyones 'stock' is 2.1 with 2e recovery....maybe he just got his phone from rogers and it had 2.2 on it already. considering in his first post he says hes already on stock rom and it has 3e recovery.....
to clear it up, im on rogers 2.2, i was on stock from kies then flashed to firefly with ease when i did the recovery file change, the problem i think is you know the first button u click in rom manager it isnt downloading the thing. Last time i downloaded it for captivate did the switch and worked, this time i think the server is offline.

if you did the recovery file change so that you bypass 3e recovery signature verification, just drop the update.zip onto your /sdcard/
you dont need to use ROM manager for anything

Hello.
ROM manager is unable to download clokworkmod recovery. Maybe because I'm in a "sanctioned country" CUBA and I have a lot of internet restrictions from both Google and my ISP.
My question is: Can I manually download clokworkmod recovery and copy it on the SD card and have ROM manager install it?
If the answer is yes: How? and where do I find Clockworkmod for the captivate?
i897 stock 2.1.1 rooted and unlocked.
Thanks.

all rom manager does is put this zip file on your sdcard. its not needed.
just drop this on the root of your sdcard, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice. CWM will come up then

the one caveat to this ... make sure you have the 2e boot loader when you boot into recovery. The 2e bootloader is the stock bootloader that comes with froyo. 3e will require you to have the update packages signed, and therefore will need to downgrade to 2e before you can switch to CWM.

Wrong.
2e RECOVERY comes from firmware 2.1, which the OP stated he was on. Froyo comes with 3e recovery. Has nothing to do with bootloader, because the bootloaders are the same between eclair and Froyo.

GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Working, one more question. I noticed three things:
1 - If I reboot to recovery again it goes into stock recovery (2e). Then I hit reinstall packages only once and ClockWorkMod comes up.
2 - If I delete the update.zip from the sd card CWM will not work.
3 - ROM Manager still says that CWM is not installed therefore is not working OK.
Is all this ok? Should I select: "Install sdcard:update.zip" while in CWM? Should I do something else?

3 - ROM Manager still says that CWM is not installed therefore is not working OK.
Is all this ok? Should I select: "Install sdcard:update.zip" while in CWM? Should I do something else?

That sounds pretty normal to me. If you are getting into CWM then thats all that really matters. The deal with ROM manager is that it doesnt work very well with our phones. But if you are trying to flash a custom ROM you can still do it without ROM Manager. However, you need to read up about the rom you want to flash because it is a slightly risky process. Its as risky as using ROM Manager and almost Russian roulette if you dont read.
But do not delete the update.zip after you install it. I dont know if it messes with the boot process of recovery mod but I do know its better to have that backup file on your SD card already if you run into a problem later on.
Don't bother with ROM manager. Its close to useless with SGS phones. Make sure your 3 botton combo works and you should be golden. Also making a jig isn't a bad idea also, just incase you do screw up and you get in a softbrick where your keycombos decide to not work.
I want to put a decent new ROM on this old thing but I'm have real trouble. I updated from Android 2.35 to 2.36 as I was having issues (and also as most tutorials point from 2.36). I've rooted and using Odin and and that had CWM Manager 2.0 installed on it. I added ROM Manager from the play market so I could update to the latest ClockworkMod as I understand I need that to put on a new ROM such as 4.4 - before updating it has ClockworkMod version 3.0.0.5 on it. So using ROM Manager I try and update to the latest ClockworkMod and all seems to work ok (it downloads etc) and on rebooting with the CWM Manager app it gives this error:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
A old thread on here says this: I had that problem 2 when I started. Turned out to be a recovery bug. With some batches of our phone it seems that you can only enter android recovery v3 and not cwm after rooting. Most kernels are not compatible with v3 only 2.

Is this correct/up to date? Or have I just done something wrong/missed out an important step? Do I need to flash a different kernal or something?

thanks man. Looks just the ticket. I have XXJU 2.36 so I am going to try this file CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip - do I need to reset to factory again before I do this (as its currently rooted)? or will that be ok?
No should be fine just to flash, no need to factory reset, CF-Root is a stock kernel with root and cwm recovery included (it's ok that you already have root) just flash the zip file and reboot. good luck

This still isn't playing ball. I've tried a couple of times, although the instructions aren't that great: eg: To fix this, you will need to use the stock recovery option that says ‘apply update.zip from SD card’ or something similar
When the new kernal is applied a a new CWM Manager 2.0 app a Tweaks app and Superuser is added. I have downloaded ROM manager and downloaded and installed what is I assume to be the latest CWM. No new CWM app appears as an app. I then reboot into recovery using the 2nd option in ROM Manager and the same error message comes up and it is still the Android system recovery 3e.
The instructions say "you will need to do this twice when attempting to enter ClockworkMod Recovery for the first time"
Its not clear at all exactly that update needs applying but when I have tried the relevant ones it hasn't worked.
When entering CWM 3.0.0.5 (via volume up power boot) and selecting apply update from sdcard it then ended up with entering CWM version 2.1.5.2! – then there is another option to apply apply the update and it reverts back to CWM 3.0.0.5!
This is a mare!
ok another option is to flash with mobile odin (free in market) then install the flash kernel here http://bit.ly/17kEetk unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it, flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot, once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access.

Does that process get around the android recovery v3 error problem and get me to the latest version of CWM? (Is it not just flashing the same files using a different method?)
Also I understand the need to download and install Mobile Odin but I am confused though as you have linked to the following files:
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.zip
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip
unzipped these are APKs (not kernals? or are they and I'm missing something?) so do I download (presumably verison 2) and install these as an app as well? Do I then run the MobileODIN_FlashKernel app or something?
I have read this guide on Mobile Odin, which makes sense, its just the extra APK is confusing me!

thanks
Unzip MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip and you'll get MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.apk, FlashKernels are special kernels used by Mobile ODIN to help flash the selected firmware if it cannot be done with the kernel you are currently running. The FlashKernel is used temporarily, it does not remain on the device after the firmware flashing is complete. Click on it to install it as a normal apk then install Mobile ODIN, next open Mobile ODIN select your CF-Root kernel (it needs to be unzipped) and flash it, after it has flashed the phone will reboot, once it has rebooted power off and boot into recovery mode, you should now be on CWM Recovery.

Try flashing a zImage via Heimdall. You could try this
