Hi!
I am desperately trying to get Android 4.0 up and running on my device.
I have successfully rooted it, but that's as far as I've come.
The issue is that I don't know how to install CWM Recovery on it.
I tried volume up and down + power button but then I just get a weird message saying "power reset or unknown upload mode". So I don't know how to put the CWM in the image folder in order to install it.
Can someone please help me? I only have to install clockworkmod in order to continue my process.
I have been searching and reading for 4 hours now, I am exhausted and I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of.
PLEASE help me
If you have a sprint or Verizon check out roddericks thread on here and that should get cement installed on your system. Then check out jt1134 over at rootzwiki under galaxy tab development an heimdall the cwm package that he has on his cm7 thread.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to flash a custom rom on a friend's galaxy s, I m not new at this, been flashing roms on HTC since 2 years so I m familiar with the processes.
I found that flashing a galaxy s was a bit different and I m having some issues...
I have rooted the phone with the one-click tool, flashed clockwork recovery via Rom Manager, now when i launch my recovery I can only access the stock recovery and not the one I flashed. i read somewhere that when in the stock recovery I have to launch the clockwork recovery as an update.zip, but whenever I try it says that "signature verification failed"...
Could somebody help me please ?
what rom does your friend have?

Bad section i think.
What's your current rom, and what do want to do with cwm?
You probably have to downgrade stock recovery from 3e to 2e first. Look around for "Elof's guide ". Good luck.

Search the Dev section for a rom called EZbase, follow the instructions then move to what ever rom you want.
Or just use Odin and flash hardcores kernel . There's instructions on how to do that in his thread. Then you will have 2e recovery.

You may not be able to access CWM, but I'm sure you can access the Q&A section right? This is where it belongs.
Btw, you have not tell us what stock firmware your friend galaxy s has, and what custom rom you are going to install. All custom roms has easy installation guide and some even has video guides on how to install. Perhaps you can also access the Search button.
Sorry for the wrong session post.
I got my phone back just 3 days ago and figured i'd finally customize it. I FINALLY figured out a safe and full-proof way of rooting my samsung galaxy s i9000M. I FINALLY figured out that I need to switch the <3e> recovery to <2e> recovery so that I'm able to flash custom ROMs.
Here's the annoying part...
I STILL can't set up Clockworkmod recovery instead of the stock recovery menu. The tutorial I'm following specifies that I need this recovery in order to get everything workin.
I have the phone rooted and I have ROM manager installed too.
Won't someone tell me how to install it on my phone?
I've tried this website:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-3-using-rom-manager/
didn't work many times
thanks in advance!

gotta start somewhere
I should point out, it keeps saying "can't open /sdcard/update.zip"
(no such file or directory) if that helps
You mean you don't have recovery yet or you can't install any zip files?

You'll probably need to do it via Odin.
If you look at the guides here on XDA you'll see easily how to do this.
There are probably easier ways to do by now, but you can follow the more traditional method without much difficulty and not really with that many screw up chances.
Just grab a custom Kernel, like SpeedMod or so, for Odin installation.
Follow the steps that you'll see on the Odin guide to install just the Kernel. Once that is done the Recovery mode will be altered and you can start using CWM normally from there on (or until you install some other full ROM that replaces the kernel and recovers the official recovery mode).
Hello Everyone,
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Not too long ago, i started fooling around with my new android s2 i9100. It has been rooted, and i have successfully installed clockworkmod recovery 4.0.0.2 using ODIN,
inspiredgeek - install-clockworkmod-4-0-0-2-cwm-recovery-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-ii-how-to
Now, im not sure if that was a problem, but i am unable to update from the current recovery mod which is 4.0.0.2 to 4.0.1.5. I have downloaded the recovery mod 4.0.1.5 from clockworkmod / roam manager separately and placed it into my sdcard.
Now i am applying the update through the actual CWM, using my -+ to navigate, once i have found my clockworkmod and i run the .zip. My version at the top switches to 4.0.1.5, but after reboot, it returns back to 4.0.0.2.
P.S: I do have ROM manager installed, and when i try to flash the recovery mod to 4.0.1.5, all it does it downloads the update.zip to my sd card. Nothing happens afterwords...
I have searched quite a bit for an answer, and i guess im pretty blind if i have not found one. But if anyone can help me out, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
I was able to do this manually but finding another 4.0.1.4.tar file and using Odin to update this. But it kinda defeats the purpose of downloading the newest release of cwm through rom manager and using cwm to update it....
Wrong forum. This is Galaxy s 1

I've used the full update guide for capitivate to update my phone running on the 2.3.3 version.
I've tried to install clockworkmod recovery through Hemidall, but I cannot load the file correctly in the last step: "Use the dialogue that appears to navigate to, and select, the Heimdall firmware package that you wish to flash."
Then i've been looking around for other solutions. I've tried to boot it through the recovery mode manually installing the clockwork through the zip mode. But doing this just gives this notice: "signature nortification failed"
I've also tried to downloaded rom manger from market and to flash it from there. But i cannot find the capitivate in the options. Therefore I chosed to use the one for Galaxy S. But when i'm trying to install the rom later through the recovery mode in clockwork it gives me the same message "signature nortification failed"
I've been looking for information all over google and different forums, but i cannot find anything.
Please help me solving this!

Thanks! I´ve seen this guide before, but is it working if i want to install android 4.0 as well, when i´m running my current 2.3.3? I thought this guide was just for installing the 2.3.3.
Edit:
I tried the guide and it worked! I had to reset it as well to wipe cache though! So many hours for figuring this out. Thanks for helping me out!

Just read the 1st sentence in the OP of that Guide thread. Ur answer is there.

EDIT: Problem solved!
Hi all,
I just tried to install CWM Recovery on a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000, and it didn't work.
The phone was (originally) running under Android Froyo (2.2), and unrooted. First of all, I used UnlockRoot to root it, and it worked fine. I checked the root access right after using dedicated apps (rootChecker, sdMaid, etc), to confirm.
Then I wanted to install a ClockWorkMod recovery. I followed this guide (on the CyanogenMod wiki). I downloaded and installed Kies to have the USB drivers installed. Then I downloaded Heimdall (my computer is running under Windows 7) + hardcore CMW Kernel. I booted into download mode, then installed the driver. (Step 2 on the tutorial). Then next step was flashing the kernel. It suceeded, and the phone powered off. Turning it on, it just starts to make endless boot loops. The system won't start running, and it is not possible to access to the CWM recovery menu. But the download mode is still available.
So, does anyone have pointers to help me fix this issue ? i would like to have CMW installed, and then install a custom ROM (the latest Jelly Bean based Cyanogenmod release).
Thanks in advance.
Just try again installing stock Rom with odin

Hi Donovan,
Thanks for the swift answer. And yes, it definitely worked. I downloaded this stock rom, and I flashed it successfully with Odin v3 1.85. I am running now under Android 2.3.6, but I lost the root access. Rooting it won't be a problem, hopefully. I still have access to the download mode, and to the stock recovery. I'll try once again to dive into the ClockWorkMod Recovery, and then install a Jelly Bean rom.
I'm hitting the thanks button right after posting this.
Thanks back at ya. Cf root you can find here

Dont forget the wiping before flashing jb.
Most times u have 2 flash custom twice.
If first time hangs just pull battery out, get in recovery & flash second time or third if its needed.
If it says install completed then its done
Much pleasure flashing the i9000
Actually, I spoke to fast, the problem just got much worse.
Okay, just after flashing the stock rom (2.3.6), everything was fine. Then I downloaded the latest stable CM10 (direct link).
I booted into recovery mode (CWM Recovery,actually) and I did try to install (i din't not forget wiping data/cache, dalvik and batt stats), but it failed, saying the package was incorrect. I tried many times, copying again and again the zip file, same problem.
Then I downloaded a previous version, CM9. I tried to installed it, and i run into a very weird error, saying an assertion failed when trying to install the package.
Something like;
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "galaxys" ... getprop ("ro.build.device") = GT-I9000 etc...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then installation program aborts (error code 7.)
My assumption, is that it looks like my phone is no longer being considered by a samsung gt i9000, according to the installer. Weird, though...
Now, I still have access to the recovery. But the phone can't boot, as everything was wiped. Much worse, I can switch to download mode, but i can't flash back the stock rom, Odin can't detect the phone (I tried with Odin v3 1.82, 1.83 and 1.87).
I'm getting desperate, any pointers ?
Thanks in advance!
Did u try to flash the custom more then 1 time?
Oh yes, I did it like a dozen of times.And I still get the same error.

gti9000 rooting
Hi Donovan, could you help me please:fingers-crossed:
I've purchased a unlocked galaxy s gti9000 and I want to root it. Something I've never done on any phone as I'm a complete noob. I managed to install XWJW1 FIRMWARE. I've now got as follows PDA:I9000XWJW6
PHONE: I9000XWJW1
CSC: I9000XSAJV8.
All the links to the file for rooting seem to be dead. I've found some for rooting XXJVU, But that's not right is it? I would really like to try ICS or Jelly Bean. I must admit I'm nervous about this as it's taken me a while to get a phone as good as this one!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
@Nooga:There is a very complete and straightforward guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546). You might want to take a look at it.
Now can we please come back on my topic ? Thanks!

Thanks Roland will give it a try tonight.
Well, that is now solved. I tried something silly that ended up working fine.
As the cm9-smtd update package couldn't run (because of the assertion fail), I just opened the zip package, then edited the file META-INF/com/android/google/updater-script.
I basically removed the assert statement at the top of the file.
CMW recovery installed it properly, without any err. I now have an ICS based rom (Cyanogen Mod 9).
Problem definitely solved now. Going to make a Nandroid backup.
Thanks all, again.
