I am trying to install cyanogenmod 7 but rom manager just doesn't seem to be installing the flash clockworkmod recovery option, it takes a second to finish and it says "sucsessfully downloaded clockworkmod" not "succsessfully installed clockworkmod" so when i try to open recovery mode it keeps going to the defualt android recovery mode and i can't install CM7 because the install fails at verification.
I tried using an older version of the clockworkmod flash file but it says "an error occured while downloading your recovery", so i don't know what im doing wrong it could be because i am installing this on a motorola flipout which is identicle internally to the droid so i have been using that ROM but i think this is unlikley the problem.
Please help.
thanks!

Even if it's identical on the inside, there might be firmware differences that you are not noticing. Try flashing a ROM for the Flipout instead.

Hi Guys,
So here is my problem:
I updated my Captivate from Samsung to Froyo.
I rooted my with Super One Click.
I then downloaded ROM Manager from the Market.
Then used it to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery 2.5.1.2)
My problem is that when I boot into recovery mode, I click on reinstall packages and it gives me the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I am not running J16, my baseband says I896UXJL1.
I want to make sure that this works so that I can look into using other ROMs.
Thanks in advance.

i believe this is caused by recovery 3e when you tried to get into recovery using rom manager. it requires some kind of signature of the rom.
you need to copy update.zip to your sdcard root folder first and then shut down your phone and use the key combo to get into the recovery mode instead. you may need to apply the changes twice in the recovery mode.
another way to do that is by using android sdk.
I would first try moving update.zip to sdcard (check for updates first), then try using the 3 button to get to recovery and apply it. If that doesn't work, I'd say your probably on a bad recovery, and you should probably flash to stock (Eclair
) using Odin 1 click, available at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
You can also read there how to use it. I would flash to stock, then go to a proper 2.2 ROM that is widely supported (Perception, Phoenix). Good luck, don't brick your phone.
This makes sense but:
I already have an update.zip in my root folder of my internal SD. Is there something I'm missing here?
Hi
I am trying to restore my backup using Rom manager with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, however i was not able to boot to CWM recovery. I have tried to flash it to older versions CWM but error message "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I flashed RA Recovery v2.2.1 via Rom Manager and it works. However i am unable to flash back to any versions of CWM.
I have just gotten back my n1 replacement and would like to restore my previous backup. Thanks in advance
I have the same error on My Touch 4G.
im having the same thing, it is most likely server side and nothing to do with our phones
To see if it's a server issue, you can actually go into the Clockworkmod/download folder on your SD to confirm that the recovery is downloaded. If it's there, it's not a network issue... I think it's more likely an issue with cwm...
Have you tried flashing via adb, terminal, or fastboot?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
it was server side issue.. its back up now and i didn't change a thing on my end.. when i searched google for "site: forums.xda-developers.com unable to flash recovery" and went to options by latest.. a whole bunch of other forums popped up last night or today with the same problem
hey guys,
I am noob to rooting. Recently rooted my nexus s GT-I9020 and installed clockworkmod recovery version 5. I tried installing CM10.1 Rom for nexus s. Installed rom manager from store and tried flashing recovery there I got this error stating 'An error occured while flashing your recovery'. Tried many times, replaced version 3 to version 5 of clockworkmod recovery. Dont have any idea what to do. Kindly help me to sort this out please!!!!.
use this recovery image
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.5-crespo.img
and get the latest cm nightly from here
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=crespo
these are both from the official sources, so you know they will flash as they should
I want to put a decent new ROM on this old thing but I'm have real trouble. I updated from Android 2.35 to 2.36 as I was having issues (and also as most tutorials point from 2.36). I've rooted and using Odin and and that had CWM Manager 2.0 installed on it. I added ROM Manager from the play market so I could update to the latest ClockworkMod as I understand I need that to put on a new ROM such as 4.4 - before updating it has ClockworkMod version 3.0.0.5 on it. So using ROM Manager I try and update to the latest ClockworkMod and all seems to work ok (it downloads etc) and on rebooting with the CWM Manager app it gives this error:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
A old thread on here says this: I had that problem 2 when I started. Turned out to be a recovery bug. With some batches of our phone it seems that you can only enter android recovery v3 and not cwm after rooting. Most kernels are not compatible with v3 only 2.

Is this correct/up to date? Or have I just done something wrong/missed out an important step? Do I need to flash a different kernal or something?
thanks alot

thanks man. Looks just the ticket. I have XXJU 2.36 so I am going to try this file CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip - do I need to reset to factory again before I do this (as its currently rooted)? or will that be ok?
No should be fine just to flash, no need to factory reset, CF-Root is a stock kernel with root and cwm recovery included (it's ok that you already have root) just flash the zip file and reboot. good luck

This still isn't playing ball. I've tried a couple of times, although the instructions aren't that great: eg: To fix this, you will need to use the stock recovery option that says ‘apply update.zip from SD card’ or something similar
When the new kernal is applied a a new CWM Manager 2.0 app a Tweaks app and Superuser is added. I have downloaded ROM manager and downloaded and installed what is I assume to be the latest CWM. No new CWM app appears as an app. I then reboot into recovery using the 2nd option in ROM Manager and the same error message comes up and it is still the Android system recovery 3e.
The instructions say "you will need to do this twice when attempting to enter ClockworkMod Recovery for the first time"
Its not clear at all exactly that update needs applying but when I have tried the relevant ones it hasn't worked.
When entering CWM 3.0.0.5 (via volume up power boot) and selecting apply update from sdcard it then ended up with entering CWM version 2.1.5.2! – then there is another option to apply apply the update and it reverts back to CWM 3.0.0.5!
This is a mare!
ok another option is to flash with mobile odin (free in market) then install the flash kernel here http://bit.ly/17kEetk unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it, flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot, once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access.

Does that process get around the android recovery v3 error problem and get me to the latest version of CWM? (Is it not just flashing the same files using a different method?)
Also I understand the need to download and install Mobile Odin but I am confused though as you have linked to the following files:
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.zip
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip
unzipped these are APKs (not kernals? or are they and I'm missing something?) so do I download (presumably verison 2) and install these as an app as well? Do I then run the MobileODIN_FlashKernel app or something?
I have read this guide on Mobile Odin, which makes sense, its just the extra APK is confusing me!
http://www.shetalksandroid.com/2012...din-install-firmwares-flash-kernels.html.html
thanks
Unzip MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip and you'll get MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.apk, FlashKernels are special kernels used by Mobile ODIN to help flash the selected firmware if it cannot be done with the kernel you are currently running. The FlashKernel is used temporarily, it does not remain on the device after the firmware flashing is complete. Click on it to install it as a normal apk then install Mobile ODIN, next open Mobile ODIN select your CF-Root kernel (it needs to be unzipped) and flash it, after it has flashed the phone will reboot, once it has rebooted power off and boot into recovery mode, you should now be on CWM Recovery.
