are you using CWM recovery ?

more info would be helpful

Could use some more info..
Also - Why are you trying to install "nothing"
.........Sorry could not resist....

sorry im hopeless at explaining.
when i go into recovery mode, usually i press "choose update from internal sd card" but today when i press it i get update.zip and not a list of everything on my phone. and a android with a triangle in his gut. if i install with rom manager it works. but not cwm.

External sd, that is stock recovery. You must flash speedmod k3-9 kernel or notecore kernel to have CWM recovery before you can flash zip files.
Do not use the CWM zip there is posibility of hardbrick.

When you press external sd the file you looking is also in the external sd or it will not register.
By the way do not use the CWM zip its bad for your note.

Sounds like you either OTA / KIES updated and lost your recovery -
Flash SpeedMod / NoteCore via PC Odin should sort it out...
Definitely sounds like stock recovery
NOTE: DO NOT use Old CWM.zip method to inject busybox - Install a safe kernel via PC ODIN and then use Triangle away

[Q] Flash custom rom without custom recovery? possible?

Hi!
I've succesfully rootet my SGS. testet wtih terminal, and i got the # sign.
Also, I have suoer users installed, and granted access to ROM manager, e.g.
Now, I would like to flash darky's custom ROM. And usually, i would boot into custom recovery menu and wipe, and apply zip from sd. (this was on my HTC).
Well, this is causing me some problems. I would rather not use Odin, as it seem a bit unsafe but I installed ROM manager, and flashed Clockwork Mod recovery. Now, when I reboot into custom recovery I get the stock android recovery, though ROM manager, says my current version of clowckwork mod is installed, and all went succesfull.
Now, my question is. Can i rename the zip file update.zip and flash with the stock android recovery anyway?
When you flash clockwork i think it just puts a .zip file on the sd card so youbshould try flashing the custom recovery through stock recovery. If not then ODIN is the way to go which can be perfectly safe if done properly.
*You have to select reinstall packages i think.

Thanks
I never get into clockwork mod, so I guess I dont get the option to reinstall packages... The only option I have beside wiping and reboot is to apply update.zip from sdcard in android recovery. But I don't think there is any update.zip on my sdcard. not last i checked at least. Guess Ill have to go with Odin then :/
Usually the option to reinstall packages is on stock recovery. I might be wrong but odin is easy to do if you get the right firmware for your phone. Sorry i ciuldnt help more.

Thanks again. I get wiser by the hour
I think im on android recovery (3e) as I recall, perhaps they removed it
I was wandering. I found the clockworkmod.zip /recovery_update.zip on the sd-card. if I move this to root of sdcard and rename to update.zip, can I then flash it via android recovery with the "apply update.zip from sdcard" function, or is this not for the purpose?
That might work, you may aswell try butif not try looking at the url i posted and see if it helps. If not then im sorry for wasting your time :S

thanks, but i think Im caught in between... i cant choose reinstall packages, and I need to get back to stock kernel...
got download mode to work now, and think I know what to do from here. thanks for the link and response
Finally - reverted back to stock android recovery 2e and flash clockworkmod recovery.... but - a new problem... when in clockworkmod, i need to choose zip from sd card, when i go into this, and choose external sd, it says no files
what to do? the files are there, when I put in the sd card in the PC the files are there...
Not entirely sure but i think you're meant to put the .zip on the internal sd. If not then maybe the sd card is not fat32 format. This is only speculation :S

Better safe than sorry, I just started contributing after quite some time now so I do not blame you one bit.
However...
That link is the CWM recovery for 2e bootloaders.
What ROM are you using?
You can always get ODIN 1.82 and flash an optimized kernel like hardcore's speedmod K9A which already has CWM.
EDIT: haha or you could just ODIN one-click to stock, root, and go CW Rom manager and from there flash recovery. I know that will work 100%, but that link is just a shortcut through all that nonsense.
Just flash clockworkmod recovery.
I had this problem the other day when I was trying to flash a new rom. I tried flashing CWM many times to no avail.
Like one of the previous repliers said, I flashed the speedmod kernel which had CWM already. The kernel can be found here.
Use Odin to flash it. After that, i could boot manually to CWM, but when i tried to boot to it through rom manager i was pushed to the stock recovery. In that case, I simply flashed my rom manually with CWM.
Theres also a good video on this for the i9000 which worked for me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7xV0yE9ZcA
Hope this helps.

[Q] Problem trying to flash a custom rom onto a galaxy s on orange uk - recovery mode

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.

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.

Thanks

If you want to use the touch one, yes, you have to do that every time but yu can also flash the cf root file, there are two versions the 5.3 and the 5.5, its a .tar file so you can flash it trough cmw(the apk) or trough mobile odin, if you choose cwm just run the apk and select the option "flash kernel" then you must find the .tar file, it means you have to extract it of the cf-root.zip... or in mobile odin is almost the same, you choose the "open file" option and then look for the .tar file, that should be enough.
