CWM recovery problem?

Hi all, i just recently rooted my i9000m with psneuter on superoneclick, easy stuff, i came from a desire z so in comparison the root process was much easier, anyways i
went to rom manager, flashed CWM, reboot into recovery, and voila, stock 3e recovery, no reinstall packages option, and apply update.zip not working. What's wrong?

baseband version I9000UGJL2 btw

crap just realized this is in wrong section, please disregard

Facing the same problem here. It seems the froyo has recovery 3e which doesnot allow the unsigned zips to flash. U need to get 2e recovery to flash clockworkmod and then you can install the custom roms, backup and restore etc etc....
There is a video tutorial on you tube using speedmod kernel and Odin to get recovery 2e in stock 2.2...

[Q] Boot loop when flashing Froyo/GB/Anyhing non Eclair over stock Eclair JM8 with 2e

Evening,
I'm trying to upgrade from a stock Eclair 2.1 to Froyo.
Recovery is 2e.
I've spent the better part of the last two days reading endless threads here and trying any remotely relevant solutions that were discussed.
The phone simply refuses to boot anything other than Eclair.
Won't run any recovery other than it's stock 2e either.
So far I've tried:
- Stock 2.2 JPC / JPU and 2.3 JPK / JVK with repartition and wipe, using Odin v1.3, 1.52, 1.7, 1.82 and correct pit file.
- 2.3 JPK / JVK with above Odin versions.
- speedmod, CF-Root, darkcore, damianGTO and a few others with Odin and SGS kernel flasher app.
- CWM recovery with SGS kernel flasher app and rom manager app.
- Manually flashing the GT-I9000 2.5.1.2 CWM recovery, which seems to let me into the CWM recovery menu if I "apply update.zip" twice, but recovery is still stock 2e on reboot.
- WIPE versions of popular roms that include a kernel with Odin/CWM.
With all of the above the result is the same. Just shows a the Galaxy S logo for hours and hours. It will not go into recovery mode either, only download mode.
If I flash any stock eclair such as JM4, JM8 or JD4, the phone boots Eclair just fine and I can get 2e recovery again.
I've checked that it's not sim locked with the *#724....# code, which said that everything was unlocked.
Not many hairs left to pull. Hopefully some of the gurus that hang around here would be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time,

use this to successfully upgrade to Froyo..
cheers

Backup your internal sd storage. (Photo's, music etc.)
Then give it a format. Then try to flash again. Do not worry about restoring all the android folders and such after the format. All of the needed folders will be re-created.

Try taking it to a service centre and ask them to update it to Froyo for you. They might know something we don't.

Dear oldseeker,
Quite a coincidence but I've had a similar problem today with my dad's SGS.
The phone would go into a bootloop if I'd flash froyo or gingerbread.
He had eclair on it and needed an update badly to use his apps.
How I eventually fixed it was, by flashing Eclair JM8 with the pit file from samfirmware (with repartition ticked), and after that was finished, I flashed Darky's
Ressurect Edition 10.1 again with repartition ticked, and everything works now as it should.
Hope this works for you!

[Q]Help with cwm after rooting.

Hi I rooted my galaxy s i9000 on 2.2 Froyo. When I boot into recovery, I only have standard Samsung 2e recovery. I have tried using rom manager to flash clockworkmod but it is not working. I have also tried using the update.zip in recovery but is sayin its not verified. So I am looking for Help
Thanks

When you boot into recovery, do the 3 button Vol up + Home + Power again! It should then load into CWR.

Help
Do you mean once in samsung 2e recovery do the three button combo again and you should go into cwm??? I just tried that and it didn't work. Any more suggestions?? I reckon that I must of just missed something

Help
Please help...

In which way you rooted your phone?
Did you install custom kernel or something?
I don't remember much about Froyo, since when I got my SGS I updated to 2.3 almost straight away.

Root 2.2
I rooted my phone on 2.2 using the one click root application for the computer

Man rooted your phone with this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Possibly when did the cell root, put the stock kernel without cwm. You only need to download a custom kernel for example CF-Root or SpeedMod, you should look which is the PDA version installed and according to that you download the correct version. When you install it you will have access to cwm by the combination of the three buttons (Vol + + Home + Power)

hi there, don´t know if I can ask something about CWM here too????
I´ve got Firmware 2.3.3 Gingerbread, Basisbandversion I9000XXJVO, Kernel [email protected]#2, Buildnumber Gingerbread.XWJVI
can´t run CMW via Rom Manager as i´ve got 3e recovery ..... which ROM shall I flash via Odin to get the 2e recovery to install Vlockwork Mod properly??
tx in advance !!!!

[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.

Edit: this 3e mod should work on the i9000b, and has worked great for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

ClockworkMod Recovery won't install

Hello guyz,
I have a friend's i9000 and he wants me to flash CM10.1 on his phone.
Problem is the phone is in 2.2.1 (Froyo) and as fas as i know CWM can be installed on Gingerbread and above. So i went ahead and connected it to Kies to update it, but it stucks on Connecting.. forever and eventually it throughs me a message about activating (or deactivating..) USB debugging). I tried with both USB Debugging on and off and the result is the same. It stays forever to Connecting state.
I tried to find Samsung Stock Roms in 2.3 version but cannot find any. I flashed with Odin other stock froyo's and still the same. Kies won't connect.
So i currently am at 2.2.1 FROYO.XWJSD and i just downloaded ROM Manager and flashed CWM for i9000. Within Rom Manager under Recovery Setup, it says on both Current Recovery and Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2But when i press the 3-button combo it boots to Samsung Recovery..
Any ideas?
Thank you

You will have to upgrade to GB first, root and then continue install ICS/JB. To these, follow this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057161
