Can Darky or any pre-rooted Rom be Flashed via odin?

Hi
Maybe I didn't search very well but I have a question that seems very stupid...
With Odin, is it possible to flash a custom rom?
I mean the rom that i use normally flash with voodoo on the recovery mode can't bee found by odin...
Thing is that i've got the corrupted memory problem and acted to fast and flashed the stock 2.2 firmware from bell....now i'm stuck with 3e recovery...
If I could flash to a pre-rooted rom with CWM or Voodoo it would be better i thing if i want to try some manipulation with adb

I haven't confirmed this or searched but I think it's because you have voodoo enabled, this format is ext4 which is a linux format and can't be seen on windows unless you ahve some 3rd party software installed. Just boot into recovery and disable the voodoo, this will put your phone back to the normal format and odin should recognize it.....i'm totally guess here since i haven't tried it but I think this would be the cause

Darky's ROM is meant to be flashed via Clockwork recovery and can not be flashed by odin, darky's comes in a zip file and odin only uses .tar extensions

[Q] cant install the voodoo lagfix

hello all.
I downloaded the last voodoo :update.zip
I put it in the SD card not in folders,but when I get to the recovery mod and choose the Apply update.zip it wrote me signature verification failed
What can I do?
my phone isnt rooted but I think I dont need to root it...
I have 2.2 android with 2.6.32.9
froyo.jhjpa
thanks for helping

Hello!
In recovery have you tried "-Install zip from sdcard" and scrolled to the zipfile instead of "-Apply..."?
Do you already have a custom kernel with "2e" recovery ie CWM? I think "3e" recovery cant flash unsigned zips.

I just flashed mine with Odin.

[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.

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

how to upgrade from temporary CWM/2e recovery

First, I have a Captivate with 2.1 update1 stock Eclair and has 2e recovery. After trying countless times ( 2 buttons and diff combinations ), I am not able to get in download mode (the phone just reboot into OS) , so Odin and Heimdall methods cant be used; yet I can get into 2e recovery easily. So, I use the old method to flash CWM thru 2e recovery :
1) Do I have to upgrade to GB 2.3.5 rom and bootloader ? or just keep 2.1 and
2) From the temp CWM ,can I flash a permanent CWM over 2e recovery by using modded Corn kernel or so ? or can I just flash any custom ICS/JB ROM and its kernel has CWM recovery ?

Here's a good start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Now, as for your questions. 1- Yes, you will have to flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders. Those bootloaders are required to run GB and up.
2- You will have to flash Corn Kernel to get the recovery (cwm) to flash custom ROMs after flashing KK4.
As for your download mode problem, you can try a few different ways; usually it's vol down + power (phone has to be turned off) and don't release until it boots into download. Another option is to buy/make a jig, which will force your device into download mode.
That being said, know that you can get in download mode no matter what ROM/kernel and whatnot you run, recovery and download aren't affected by those.

now I have a new problem, I was able to get into download mode and used the 1click Odin uckk4 to flash. Yet, it failed twice. So, now the phone reboots into the white ATT screen then straight into the new 3e recovery with a lot of error " ccant find E partition , etc. " Help ! :laugh:
PS: I wanna add for whoever got the same mistake, do not use the one click Odin file ( with bootloader, partition, ROM, etc. ) Instead, just flash the BL alone, then the kernel as in the 2nd OP post ; then you ll have the permanent CWM recovery to flash other ROM . I downloaded SlimBean onto external SD card, how can I flash it ? the CWM does not let you pick the ROM from external SD card.

You should have a external sd folder when you hit ''install from sd''. See if it's there. Otherwise, mount your phone under recovery and move SlimBean in your internal.
