Hello everyone,
sorry if this has been asked before, I searched the forum, but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
My problem is that my SGS seems to have BOTH 2e and 3e recovery, that means: if I select "Reboot into Recovery" from "ROM Manager", it gets me to the 3e recovery, where I can't really do anything, whereas if I use the 3 button combo, it gets me to the 2e recovery. It's not that big of a problem, but I would still like to solve it, because it's much easier for me to just use ROM Manager to boot into recovery than using the 3 button combo.
How I got there and what I did to try and solve the problem:
I flashed CF-Root with Odin and then flashed the speedmod kernel (latest one, K12Q) with CWM. I also tried flashing the speedmod kernel with Odin afterwards, but that didn't solve the problem either. I suspect this might be a problem in the speedmod kernel, but I don't have access to post in the respective thread, because it's in the Dev area (there's also the possibility that it might be related to ROM Manager, but since it works for everyone else and it also worked for me before, I guess the chances are pretty low).
Some details about my device:
Firmware: PDA: XXJPY, PHONE: XXJPY, CSC: XAJPY
Flashed with CF-Root using Odin and then installed the speedmod kernel K12Q using CWM.
ROM Manager version: ROM Manager Premium v3.0.0.7
Any tips on this would be welcome!
why is it more difficult for you to enter recovery using button combo? i don't think anyone experienced this so called "recovery problem".
I will ask hardcore for you on the dev topic. in the meanwhile try to uninstal rom manager and anything related to it from system (cache, dalvik) and reinstall it again. maybe this would do...
rom manager put an update.zip inside sdcard and on next boot it will be executed.
to simply reboot into recovery shutdown and use 3 button combo or install a theme with extended power menù.
and btw hardcore use recovery 3e as stock one cuz we don't need anymore recovery 2e because of the implementation of cwm inside recovery menù.

Well, like I said, it isn't that big of a problem really, but I would still like to get it fixed. It's easier for me to tap the "Reboot into Recovery" than to hold the 3 button combo. Anyway, I'll search for a "Phone Options" (the one when you long press power button) replacement that also contains the recovery entry, I hope that'll work then.
BTW, if you happen to know how the .apk that does that is named, I'd be very thankful -- I have already seen a ROM that has the recovery option in that menu, I just don't know which of the .apk files I need to extract from it, because I don't want to flash the whole ROM just for that feature.
here's the reply from hardcore:
hardcore said:
It's intentional. It's a problem with rom manager's way of rebooting to recovery. Rec 3e is running from the rom, and it's needed for certain things like csc change and factory resets.

Awesome! I didn't know that the speedmod kernel actually included both recoveries, that's a valuable piece of information. Now I just have to figure out a "shortcut" to boot into the 2e recovery.
Thank you very much!

with speedmod you don't need 2e recovery since you can install update or zip files from cwm meù, install from zip from sdcard

Well, sorry. With "2e menu" I actually meant the CWM menu that you are talking about.
Hi! newbie here, i still have no luck on installing cyanogenmod. i am wondering the cyanogenmod category in rom manager premium was empty. only nightly build has. i already rooted my s2, purchased rom manager premium, purchased root explorer on the market and downloaded 3e_recovery_no_sig_check,3e_fix-unzip-ClickInstall,update zip and put it on my sdcard and run on CMW still the whole-file verification failed and signature verification appears. i already searched various procedures on how to downgrade from 3e to 2e recovery to install cyanogenmod.but still cant hardly follow various instructions. please help! thanks

Hi,
basically, i want to install darky's rom onto my sgs, but one of the pre-requirements is for me to have 2e recovery. i am currently running speedmods k12i kernal and have got 3e recovery (which is the problem).
i have found this guide on darkys site:
How to install Recovery 2e manually?
* Download Recovery 2e files from here - Download
* Open Root explorer or ES File Explorer
* Remount system with -rw
* Copy recovery file to /system/bin (replace if asked)
* Copy xbin folder contents to /system/xbin/ (replace if asked)
* Done, you've Recovery 2e on your device now.
but dont fully understand it, especially the 3rd point.
alsoone more thing, i made a backup by booting into recovery and going to backup/restore and backing up from there, it contained these files,
cache.img
data.img
dbdata.img
efs.img
nandroid.md5
system.img
are these the correct files for the backed up version of my rom? and if it is how do i go about reflashing it all?
thanks
oliver
p.s - i never thought id be this needy for information, there is just soething about it i cant wrap my head around without a little bit of guidance.
thanks again....
if i was you i would leave darkys roms alone and stay with it stock darkys roms are supose to be stable why bring 3 versions out in one day i installed 9.0 from 8.1 and it broke my phone so had to reinstall everything if you cant install Recovery 2e if any thing goes wrong with your phone you will be stuck

Firstly Darkyy's rom IS stable. If you had a problem with it then thats just unlucky. if 10,000 people install the rom and only one ruins there phone i would say thats stable. Even kies can crash peoples phones.
Ok now on to the OP.
I went from stock JPY to Darkyy's rom literally in 10 minutes.
Install a kernel such as speedmod or voodoo 5.2 which is compatible with JPx ( presuming thats what your running ) as these have CWM in the kernel via Odin.
Then just get darkyy's rom and put it on your SD card. Boot into CWM recovery and flash the zip from your SD card.
In root explorer, you have a small button on the upper center of the screen. It says Mount R/W

Or you can just go to www.samfirmware.com and flash any old Eclair rom. That would be safest route in my opinion because it will completely remove any trace of you from the phone - meaning that the phone will be as good as new (at least in terms of software).

so it wouldnt have root or anything like that? i would then do what with it? flash cf-root and then just install darkys?
cheers for your helps guys, darkys v 9.0.2 is on and running smooth =D
Just for clarification - the 2e recovery is to allow flashing unsigned .zip files.
ClockworkMod will do exactly the same thing, its a more 'full featured' 2e recovery, if you want to call it that.
Eh, im not too fussed now really, it put my mind at rest knowing I had the 2e recovery...

Hi everyone greetings, i plan to install Spike Speedy Edition v2.1 ROM on my phone and it says to "Make sure have the 2e recovery". Can anyone please explain that to a newbie?
Erma, basically it means. You can install unsigned.zips what are you running¿ 2.1 or 2.2?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Running 2.1 i think eclair stock rom... Basically how do i install 2e recovery?
[ROM] Spike Speedy Edition v2.1 site says "Download clockworkmod recovery"
Do i need 2e recovery in this case? Or can i use superoneclick?
well, if you are running eclaie stock, you should already have 2e recovery. are you rooted? if not, do it. i beleive you can with superoneclick (i think) but yeah. just follow the instructions for flashing with that rom and enjoy =]
out of interest how do i downgrade to 2e from 3e on 2.2? im trying to use run voodo lag fix for samsung galaxy s and when I try to run update.zip from (by pressing vol up, home and power) it says "E:Signature verification failed..Installation aborted", which im told is because I have 3e on my Samsung Galaxy S instead of 2e?
Ill link you to a site when im on a pc in like 30mins. It will have a dowload link to the relavant files and a guide. Or you go to darkyrom and look at the guides in one of the sub forums there.

Thank you.
That because you're on 3 recovery(samsung's own) u need 2'recovery there 2 ways to get it.
1.flash cf-root kernel with Odin.then your phone is also rooted.
2.root your phone(eg.oneclickroot).when your phone is rooted, download rom manager from market and follow instructions.
Yay.that the right kernel in your link.but u need to flash it from ODIN.

I've selected the option to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery for the "Samsung Vibrant" and it won't boot to CWR. If I select reintall packages, it fails every time.

did you install both the free and premium version of rom manager?

Make sure the "update.zip" file is on your Int SD card... power off your phone.
While holding down the Vol up+down, press and hold all 3 buttons till the "Samsung/Vibrant splash screen pops up.
You should boot into stock recovery, use vol up and down to move up and down and choose "reinstall update" with power... it should reboot and bring you right back to where you were... repeat choose "reinstall update" with power... now you should boot into CWM recoery.
I think the problem is that you have the new recovery (3e I think) that requires signed update.zip files. I'd recommend using Odin3 to flash another kernel which will come with CWM. If you don't want to do that, there is a guide somewhere on xda to allow 3e recovery to flash unsigned update.zip files.

Exactly clockwork will not install with 3e recovery. Either flash a new kernel or do the 3e mod recovery. Odin will take 1 min to complete its process of flashing a kernel, you should definitely do this. Or just go back to stock and start your flashing journey from there.

Yup, I installed ROM Manager, then bought the premium key. I've got all functionality available to me.
Only problem is that when it flashes the recovery, nothing happens. If I reboot to recovery, it says the update.zip has an invalid signature. It seems nothing works. Am I supposed to flash back to droid 2.1 to get this thing working? It seems like it should be easier than this....

If your running CyanogenMod, there no way around Odin'ing to get back to stock. CyanogenMod (CM7) changes the partitioning to MTD from Stock RFS/Ext4. Only way to get that back is to Odin back to stock.

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?
not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully
Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help
im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

Hi, I have the same error problem, cf root was not bundled with my own root package. I flashed to gingerbread 2.3.6 xwjw1, I also tried rom manager to flash recovery and it was successful, but when I rebooted to recovery to backup my current rom it bootes to the android (3e) recovery. As I've discovered it seems rom manager is not compatible with the xwjw1 series. How do I get the correct cf root for xwjw1? Believe me I have tried google and am scared of the things I see since "jw1" is not behind any of the cf root packages I see. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
xtome
On xwjw1 you can Odin flash as PDA Semaphore 250 tar kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14481782
Untick re-partition before flashing.
After reboot you may need to install Superuser from Play Store.
That will give you root, CWM, gingerbread ready for CM9.1

Use Odin to flash (put .tar in PDA and uncheck repartition). You can flash Semaphore JVT 1.8.0 or CF-Root v4.3

Thanks Sunny men, but OT's advice worked, I can now boot to semaphore recovery and wipe etc.
Question though, if I now flash cm9.1 rom, will I be able to boot to recovery without the holding any button combinations. What I mean is can I boot to recovery from the shutdown menu or do I need an app for it?
Also is cm9.1 the best rom for my phone? any thots guys? Thanks again.

Yes, in CM 9.1 you can boot directly to recovery from the shutdown menu. CM 9.1 is very stable and fast, so try it. And when you flash CM9 for the first time, your galaxy will go into a bootloop. Then remove the battery, put it in, go to recovery with 3-button configuration and flash it again.

Thanks sin007, that is invaluable advice. Will do just that. thanks again.
Hi guys, thanks for all the help. I have flashed CM 9.1 successfully.
Everything works OK for now.
Also flashed gapps, CM 9.1 seems to be a great ROM.
I have a question though, the gapps I flashed seems to have only a few Google apps, play store and Google talk. The file size was 49mb so is that all that's in gapps or is there a hidden mode or something.
Also, sin007 I can't find any reboot to recovery from the shutdown menu, though I flashed a stable version of CM 9.1 and not a "nighty version". Could that be the reason? But no biggie, CM 9.1 comes with rom manager.
Finally I wouldn't mind any tips you guys have on making the most out of the ROM.
Thanks and all the best.
Shutdown menu - Reboot - Recovery
OK?
There is an APP on google play, sgs kernel flash, it is easier and faster than Odin. And works perfectly. I've flash the speedmod kernel and finally upgrade to cyanogenmod 9.1.
Anyone knows if this APP works on galaxy s2 (i9100)?
Thankss

Oops sorry, didn't bother pressing the reboot button, typical noob error. Thanks OT.
I have a problem though, I just discovered my phone's imei number has changed after I flashed cyanogenMOD 9.1. How is this possible and how do I get back my original imei number?. Thanks.

Hi all,
I want to install CWM on my rooted SGS however there appears to be on CF Kernel that matches my JVN Kernel so using the CF method is not an option from what I have read.
So I installed ROM Manager and tried to install it that way but I now get signature verification errors when I go into Recovery.
Next I downloaded the recovery image from the CWM website but I cannot seem to find any information on installing it onto a SGS.
If anyone could offer any suggestions it would be appreciated.
TIA
Greg
Edit: Firmware is 2.3.3
Why dont you just flash JVU then Root it
Comes with CWM ....
As I am guessing you want CWM to flash a rom yes?
If so most Roms require ...from my knowledge a clean install of JVU with ODIN before flashing a New Rom

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.
You need to root your phone first with update.zip for i9000, download the latest CWM.zip, put it in the storage. Then go to recovery and install the CWM.zip Goodluck flashing!

Can you use any version of JVU? eg: Europe, Asia, Australia. Or, should you only use one for your region, in my case Australia.
I have an Australian verion of JW6 (2.3.6), would that be acceptable?

Thanks for the UPDATE.ZIP, I note it is just a renamed CWM. I did not know you could just rename them and then install them. Thanks.
So, my plan at this stage is to update to 2.3.6 (JW6) and then install CWM via UPDATE.ZIP. Should this work?
TIA
Greg
Yeah you can upgrade first. Flash a firmware or upgrade OTA. You should root your phone first before flashing a custom recovery such as CWM.
