[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery doesn't work - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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

[Q] Get 2e recovery without Odin or Heimdall

Hi
I am wondering if it is possible to get 2e recovery without using Odin or Heimdall. I know a similar question was asked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880093.
But I have i9000M which has a high correlation with Odin/Heimdall and internal sd failure (not saying Odin is causing it). In any case, I would like to avoid using Odin and Heimdall.
Thank you.
Why do you need 2e ?
btw, do you play DOD:S ?

I need to 2e to install CWM (?). And then i can use CWM to install Darky's rom.
DOD:S as in Day of Defeat:Source? If yes, then nope.

Well best bet is to flash i know you dont want to but once you flash kernel such as cf root you have 2e recovery then you can install cwm... just one more flash ..or there is an app in these threads to flash kernel from within operating system http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877444

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery error: signature verification failed!

Hi all,
I installed JPY (2.2.1) Rom on my SGS yesterday, rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
Tested the phone, everything is ok and the root is also ok.
Then installed Clockworkmod, flash cwm recovery 2.5.1.2, click on Backup, the phone automatic rebooted but presented my with a normal recovery screen.
In it I can do something like; a factory reset, clean card data, restart or click on update.zip (I thing that goes to the update.zip that cwm put on my sdcard).
But when I click it gives this error:
Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Tried everything... What can I do in order to cwm works and backups my sgs??
All the help is appreciated...
Thanks,
you loose 2e recover when going to froyo.. needed for clockwork ..
flash a kernel that restores it ie
chainfire/cf or speedmod or backlight notifiction ie bln kernel.

So what are you saying is that CWR doesn't work with 3e recovery? Only with 2e?
Because 3e does not allow unsigned zips hence the error message..

Thanks for the explanation,
Didn't know why it works with one and not the other...
Anyway, its working now, thanks for all the help!
For anyone that has the same problem, here is what I did:
Flashed the phone with I9000XXJPY and with Odin. You can find JPY here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2
Put PIT 512 in PIT and in PDA put the file JPY_JPY_JPY.tar (no repartition selected).
Shutdown the phone after it starts.
Start Odin again and in PDA put this file: CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
You can download it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
After that you can install CWM. When you click in backup and the phone restarts see if 2e restore appears in top of the screen if so all is ok.
Also, if a normal screen appears just click in update.zip and after that you will see the cwm screen.
In the cwm recovery screen the sgs buttons are like this: back button is the “enter” and the “menu” is the back button.
P.S. If you need to install TPH for Portuguese language just tell me, cause the CSC installed is KOR and you don't have TPH in CSC file to install.
Once again, Thanks to all who help me!

Great explanation but for the record (for anyone looking for a solution), if you're already on a 2.2 firmware, you can simple start at the step of flashing a custom kernel that supports CWM (i.e. there's no need to first flash to JPY).

How about
1. Repartition with a 512 pit from odin.
2. Flash Stock JM8 or JM9 (Usually i am flashing JM8 when things get messed)
3. Use update zip and install clockworkmod from it . (you will not have any signature errors because now you have recovery 2e)
4. Sometimes you will have to apply sd card update twice to get to CWM.
5. Vola, now you have working clockworkmod recovery and you can flash whatever the things you want with it

horrible suggestion you both need to search b4 posting.. been posted multiple at least 20 times now.. you DONT need to go install a new rom and blow everything away on your phone just to get 2e recovery so clockwork works.. search search.. there are kernels out there you can flash to get back 2e recovery

Oh yeah. forgot to mention it. there is a post that have a kernel which gives you recovery 2e on JPY firmware. (Don't know other firmwares has it or not)
Anyway, in my case i like to blow everything and start all over when i got messed up. because i don't use my sgs for very precious works. i'm just playing with it
Kudos to the lgkahn for bringing this kernel thing up

Okay..seems like this thread is getting nowhere..
Go to the android development section and look for hardcore's speedmod kernel. Download the latest version and flash it via Odin.
Btw, let me give you a tip once you are in hardcore's thread. PLEASE READ THE FIRST 3-4 POSTS AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
I don't think you are exerting enough effort to research here in the forum so I just gave you one of the simplest and shortest step to have CWM directly.

is it OK to use Stericssion autosin.bat to sign the update.zip downloaded by CWM and then flash it using recovery 3e? We will not have to flash the CF Kernel.

My SGS Overwrites CWM with 2e???

Hi there,
I have an unusual problem with my SGS. I can't access any other recovery other than 3e or 2e. I tried Odin to flash BusyBox, grating 2e, that's ok, but when installing Vodoo with Clockwork update.zip , even installing the vodoo kernell directly with Odin, I never get the ClockWorldMod Recovery , instead I get the 2e standard recovery, but the kernell is effectively installed
¿¿Someone has any clue of what's hapening??
Thanks!

[Q] clockwork and voodoo kernel issue

Hello.
So i've got a problem with my I9000.
I've upgraded it to froyo, official release, so i'm stuck with the 3e recovery.I recently flashed the voodoo lagfix kernel via Odin. I would like to get clockwork recovery to replace 3e, but I understand i have to flash it via Odin, too. My question is : Is clockwork's kernel going to replace voodoo? If so, how can i have them both?
Thanks a lot in advance.
if you upgrade offical froyo then u must first do a root..the root files can be find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108...download correct root for your firmwire phone...then flash it tru odin..when u done with that u must download a rom manager from market...and install it to get clockwork mode =)
I wouldn't follow the previous poster's advice.
If you're going to use cwm, why do you want stock firmware? Try flashing speedmod kernel to get cwm, which has built in root and lagfix accesable from recovery. Or just go to a custom fw like docrom kitchen.
Best procedure for going custom with the sgs is a single flash of speedmod w/ cwm from odin, and then flash anything else via cwm.

[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.

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.
