My Tab is rooted and it says I have the correct recovery, yet I can't flash roms/backup current roms/get into Clockwork recovery. Everytime I try to flash something it gets aborted but before that it says Installing MICS failed or something similar. I'm familiar with flashing roms yet I don't know what's going on.

First, download ROM Manager and reflash clockwork mod.

is you TAB GSM or CDMA? if you TAB is GSM you should use this tutorial . The Kernel it has already the CWM recovery, also will convert your system to Ext4 ..... Did you applied the patch from here . I believe you have a protected bootloader....
Thanks for the info. I'm not by a pc but it seems I don't need the secondary link, it seems I don't need the patch because it already is patched. And I have a gsm tab.

I just wanted to chime in to say that I'm having this problem too. I've rooted using the the proper steps and installed tom manager and downloaded the lastest cwm. I tell it to reboot and I get the aborted, signature cannot be verified blah blah.
I tried everything step over and over again and I always get that error so I cannot get into cwm.
Like the OP I have a t849 tmobile galaxy tab.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I figured it out
OK so this may sound stupid but when I first flashed the recovery rom using the adb push method for the recovery image and tmobile_zImage I did not have a micro-sd card because the SGT-849 has 16GB of built in memory. I just tried it again but this time I popped in a microsd and used adb to push the recovery flash files, ran recovery, rebooted, ran ROM Manager and told it to boot into recovery and ClockWorkRecovery Mod worked
So if you havent used the method if implementing an ADB bridge to push the tmobile flash files you need to do that WITH a microSD apparently.
My boot screen changed from the boring Samsung Logo to a Galaxy Tab + Samsung Logo. Which boot logo do you have?

I dont have knowledge in adb because I'm never on a pc, but I ordered a 32gb sd card so i'll see what happens.

I need ROM to flash with Odin. Clockwork thing is not working for me and all the modded rom's are clockwork oriented. I am actually dying to install cynogen. Off late they stopped releasing odin versions. Somebody please suggest some rom better than the stock Froyo which is flashable using odin.
My phone is rooted and unlocked.

Exactly i am in leaked froyo ji6. I rooted it.
You have two options. Swap in a kernel that has 2e recovery or flash back to stock and then flash the rom of your choice.

The version you are on had a recovery that prevents you from using clockwork
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I've downloaded ROM manager and clicked on 'flash clockwork recovery'. this placed a 'update.zip' onto my phone. I downloaded a custom ROM and placed this zip in the same place. in ROM manager i choose install from sd card, locate the custom rom and select it. i reboot into clockwork recovery mode and i get the 'android system recovery mode' The options at the top are in blue. i believe this is wrong?
I'm led to believe i should click on 'apply sdcard:update.zip' but when i do i get
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Install aborted
I'm using a samsung galaxy s with the standard orange rom.
Any ideas?
U need to root your device first... flash a kernel like speedmod and it'll rot ur device after this u can install ur custom rom. remember while flashing via odin repartition should be unchecked
You would root and then just need to flash update.zip, dont place rom anywhere near it. I would delete your current update.zip and go through process (minus rom) again.
Alternatively and easier, is what ^^ he said.

I've already rooted my phone.
Dont i need to put the downloaded mod on my sdcard to install it? :/
Rom manager puts the update.zip file there but when i try to run it it fails :/
Yep place the rom into sdcard/
Sometimes in stock recovery, you may have to choose flash update.zip twice to install cwm
However
Mate, if you can use odin, just flash a pre rooted kernel with cwm installed. Should take about 5 mins to download and flash. Chainfire would probably be my recommendation.
Make sure you read kernel flashing instructions before you start.

Okay i have odin and a kernel.
Only thing is i need to get to get my phone to download mode to apply the kernel through odin?
And my phone wont go into this mode :/ or recovery mode
How did you root?

I used superoneclick.
bad move?
Not at all, just curious. Can you not force download mode via adb? (havent needed to use it myself, so can't advise further)
i would suggest you apply the 3 button combo fix though before proceeding. If you can get into dl mode, its nigh impossible to brick, if not, then its all too easy.....
Dont rush mate, have a good search and read-up first.
Hope I've helped some.

I'll take a look at the 3 button combo fix and the adb method.
Thanks for all your help
No worries. Cwm method will only work with 2e recovery - if you have 3e, then you will need dl mode odin and kernel.

Ive rooted the sgs of my girlfriend and wanted to install clockworkmod so i clicked that option in rom manager - after chosing "Samsung Galaxy i9000" the app downloads it and gives me the message that it has succeded.
But after rebooting to the recovery there just is the original one, no cwm.
Android version is 2.2 and i used z4root one click permroot.
I really don't know what went wrong?
I would be thankful if anyone out there knows how to solve this problem!
You dont have a problem. You only have to read... Boot into recovery, apply Update.zip and apply it again.. Viola!
Sorry to tell you this butt 2.2-like dinosaurusRead a little 2.3.4 is here superfast.
U mean that cwm creates a update.zip which i have to apply?
EDIT: Tried that, Installed, update.zip created, booted into recovery, but when i try to flash it says it could not verify?
SECOND EDIT: F*** that , i flashed a kernel via odin, this s*** is done
I dont want a new firmware from samsung mate, i want to flash custom roms, they are all on 2.3.5 u know?

Yes, in recovery select apply update zip.
2. 5? Never heard of it. The latest from Google is 2.3.5 but only for nexus and cm7.

Hi all.
I picked up a used cappy that was "bricked" for cheap. It simply bootlooped on the AT&T screen.
Took it home, hooked it up and odin'ed stock kfc1 with bootloaders onto it. I have now tried every one click Odin or hiemdal gb file I can find, and it just sits at the att screen. Download mode works fine, recovery doesn't.
Flashing a gb kernel with cwm through odin works, but still no boot or recovery.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using Tapatalk
you might want to try flashing a stock ROM with Odin, I'm sure you can find some around the forum =) It's really hard to hard brick the cappy, and since download mode works all you need is a working ROM, so yeah, just go with a stock ROM first
A stock ROM is what I've been attempting to do. I have tried all the 1 click stock packages in the sticky in the development forum..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
Try not using a 1 click
I tried that as well.
I flashed one at a time (meaning just the bootloader, then just the kernel, and finally the rom itself), as well as everything at once.
Proper bootloaders flash fine, kernel flashes fine, and roms appear to flash fine.
Just failure to boot or recovery..
I'm at a loss..
Edit; autocorrect fail

Sounds like the same problem I'm having, unfortunately I believe it's related to a bad internal sd partition and as of yet I've found no way to fix it
If you flash stock eclair, can you enter recovery?
That was the only recovery I was able to access, from there running adb shell, then dmesg I was able to see that the internalsd was corrupted or at least not mounting.
Still not able to enter recovery even on Eclaire.
I think Ill send it to Samsung USA and see what they say..

I figured I would update this, I called Samsung and gave them my imei number and they stated it was still under warranty.
So I sent them the device.
The internal SD was corrupt or bad as stated on the invoice.
I have it back and it works free of charge!
Thanks Sammy!

its a seriously annoying bug..
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-n7000,
its a new one.
I just tried to install the custom rom (Paranoid Android 2.+),
so to root my phone i installed the CWM.ZIP file provided in that thread
but when i tried to install it, it shows signature verification failed and it din't install on my phone.
Now my recovery screen shows "Android System Recovery <3e>"
with these options
i.install from sd card
ii.clear cache
iii.clear data
iv.redband test [fota]
and i could not install anything with that..
whatever i install it is shown that "sign verify failed".
Now what should i do to install the custom rom?
Am i stuck in some danger zone ?
I take it you are on stock GB. You can't flash zips from that recovery. Better do some more research before you end up bricking your device. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20963707 is a good place too start.

Just to add to this, don't use cwm.zip its got issues, more with ics, but still, I'd steer clear of it. Either install a pre rooted gb rom or root the old script method.
