[Q] Can't flash ClockworkMod Recovery mode - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 3e Froyo, rooted with superoneclick and when I'm flashing to clockwork it goes straight to the stock recovery mode,
Do I need to root with another program ? (rooting manually gives me the "signature failed" error)
Thanks

Look at instructions in this thread to get 2e recovery first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886112
Once you have 2e recovery then you use it to apply update.zip of CWM without signature error.

IMPORTANT : Make sure you download the correct version of CF-root for your firmware.

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery doesn't work

Hi everyone.
I installed ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but even though the phone said it successfully flashed it, when I enter recovery mode I get the stock recovery. I even tried using the apply sdcard:update.zip option, but it gives me an error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I even considered installing Amon RA's recovery, but there doesn't seem to be a version compatible with this phone. What should I do? Is there another recovery you'd suggest me to install? If not, what can I do to get the ClockworkMod Recovery to work? Any help would be much appreciated
You must have recovery 3e. Oh well, just flash hardcore's speedmod latest kernel in the Android development section via Odin to get cwm.

Sorry if my questions are too basic, but I'm a new Android user.

When I enter the stock recovery mode, it says Android system recovery <3e>. Does that mean anything?

On the creator's blog it says that SpeedMod "works on all stock Froyo ROMs XXJPO/DXJPA/XWJPA and popular custom ROMs", although his thread doesn't state so. My ROM is Froyo I9000BUJP7; am I safe installing this kernel? Also, I don't know if it matters, but my phone is network locked.
Thanks for your help.
The reason you can't flash cwm is because you have recovery 3e which does not allow unsigned .zip
You must have 2e recovery. There is a way to get 2e but you gotta search for it. I'm on the road driving so I am a bit pre occupied to search for you.
Easiest way for you is to flash the latest speedmod kernel via Odin.

As android.francis said your best bet is to flash a kernel with 2e. I use cf root it always does the job for me.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I am having the same issue, now installed the Speedmod kernel, how can I enter the CWR now?!
My stock recovery still says 3e
Hello,
I had the same problem and I used cf root too. It works very well and if you use a stock rom you will find the rigth kernel there. I only had some problems to find the rigth kernel for my branding firmeware, because this I flashed a stock rom before and after cf root.
Clockwordmod Rom Mgr boots into 3e but up button/power/menu button boots speedmod 2e.
Here is a weird one I think. I installed stock JVH 2.3.3 (from wuala site I9000XWJVH.7z) which I rooted with CF-Root (CF-Root-WX_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar) and then applied Speed mod (speedmod-kernel-k15h-t24-300hz.tar). If I press the 3 button combination I get the speedmod 2e recovery and can backup and restore, install update.zips and reformat partitions to ext4 just fine. So far so good. All updates performed using ODIN.
Here is the problem. I installed a 'paid for' version of ClockworkMod Rom manager (from the market) but when I select backup or 'reboot into recovery' I get the stock 3e kernel and it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks

with what did you root it? superoneclick? z4root?
you need to have recovery 2e, not 3e, becouse u can't apply update zips that are not signed. u can apply them only with recovery 2e.
just unroot, and root back again with whis
[21.12.2010][CF-Root v1.3] JPH/K/6/M/A/O/U/X/Y - su+busybox+2e, CWM compat!
download the JPO file, it will be just fine. read the instructions there on how to root. after rooting, leave the update.zip on sd card and enter recovery again. press install from update.zip and you will have CWM
cheers

[Q] cant install the voodoo lagfix

hello all.
I downloaded the last voodoo :update.zip
I put it in the SD card not in folders,but when I get to the recovery mod and choose the Apply update.zip it wrote me signature verification failed
What can I do?
my phone isnt rooted but I think I dont need to root it...
I have 2.2 android with 2.6.32.9
froyo.jhjpa
thanks for helping
Hello!
In recovery have you tried "-Install zip from sdcard" and scrolled to the zipfile instead of "-Apply..."?
Do you already have a custom kernel with "2e" recovery ie CWM? I think "3e" recovery cant flash unsigned zips.
/Robert
I just flashed mine with Odin.

[Q] android system recovery <3e>

Ok... from the top - I've done a good amount of flashing custom ROMs (B & N Nook and Captivate) and reading on forums but I'm currently stumped. I can't boot into the ClockworkMod recovery - instead I go to the stock android system recovery <3e>. This has been my complete procedure:
1 - Odin3 one-click downloader and connect phone in downloading... mode, click "start" to go back to stock
2 - odin one click "master clear"
3 - Samsung Kies update to Android 2.2 froyo and then Android 2.3 Gingerbread
4 - One click root
5 - Put .zip of ROM on internal sd root
6 - Odin3 v1.82 load ClockworkMod Recovery .tar
Now here is where I am stuck - I have the most up to date ClockworkMod Recovery but I can't boot into anything but the stock android system recovery <3e> (either through the app or by holding volume up and down and powering on) - where if I change the zip file name to update and try to apply update from sdcard I get an error that the signature verification failed. I'd like to install the latest build of ICS but I am just stuck - any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
You'll need a kernel with the non-3e recovery baked in. You can either flash a Gingerbread kernel with CWM (e.g. Boog's kernel) or flash a stock gingerbread rom with CWM in the kernel.
Ok - thank you. I have downloaded that Heimdall one-click .jar file. However I'm having trouble opening it... I feel really foolish ont his but if I extract the files I see a readme file that says I shouldn't be reading it and I have gone the wrong way. But if I open the unextracted file it tries to open in WinRAR and again non of the files seem like a program file that I can just open and run. Sorry about this...
No problem - just double-click the file. The .jar is an executable file that will install the necessary drivers, open the heimdall program, and get everything ready to flash. Once it's ready and sees your phone in download mode, all you have to do is click flash and it will do the rest.
I have now figured out ICS - I think I had the wrong .zip I was trying to install... Does the ICS allow for overclocking?
Ok - my apologies again for keeping going with this (but my main goal is to get to ICS) with that kernel it wouldn't let me install ICS (but I was able to do the latest CyanogenMod). On the Team Hacksung Wiki page FAQ on Galazy S it looks like CM7 kernels don't work - did the one I installed from the above thread have a CM7 kernel?
Does anyone know of a specific kernel I can use to go from stock 2.3.5 so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and install the ICS zip?
I'm sorry - I needed to update or install Java... Then I needed to install the correct drivers - automatically routed to this through the Heimdall program so it was easy enough (I think this has to do with switching between ODIN and Heimdall). Thank you again so much for the help. Time to give ICS a shot
YouTube ics video I had the same issue boog kerneral with cwm baked in it att boot loaders follow the instructions I'm using works great

Flash back to stock 2.1 which includes the 2e recovery which doesn't have signature checks. With that you can flash a cwm zip and get into the clockworkmod recovery. On the captivate you gotta reinstall the the update zip twice, once to install cwm, the other to actually go into cwm.

I wouldn't recommend flashing back to 2.1, as it is much easier to simply flash a kernel with CWM baked in.
That is also an option, both able to be done with several clicks of a button.

any help?
i try to enter to APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP
but have the same error :
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifcation failed
i have galaxy i9000b
also have the superuser , 2.2.1 froyo and wanna upg to ice cream or anything new
i read i have to change the android systema recovery <3e> to 2e ??
here i found a lynck with 3e-fix-unzip-uninstall
but these is for Captivate and doesn't work for i9000b ?
Yea 3e recovery has a signature check, and clockworkmod zips are not officially "signed." Either flash back to stock 2.1 eclair which has 2e recovery w/o signature checks, or flash a custom kernel with cwm already included, as suggested above. I cannot speak for if the modded 3e recovery will work on an i9000b.
