[Q] Help on Android System Recover <3e> - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Can't Flash Roms or Get Into Clockword Recovery

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.

[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?

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.

No worries. Cwm method will only work with 2e recovery - if you have 3e, then you will need dl mode odin and kernel.

NANDROID ? Don't use stock recovery. Don't make nandroid backup for stock rom.
so how should i flash cwm recovery .
and which recovery is best suited for nandroid backups and comptability with all apps.
does it necessarily require me to install custom roms.

I am in same situation with a GT-S5570, it has stock rom and is rooted. I downloaded Clockwork Manager to it's SD card.
Then from stock Recovery manager I tried to install CWM from sd card. The screen got distorted and graphic looked awful.
Had to reboot and nothing got installed.
Tried Odin but it won't recognize my phone while in Downloading mode.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2........any ideas? I guess I need somekind of backup first, if I mess up and need to reinstall stock? Hard to do with stock recovery mode though.

Apps can always be reinstalled in no time I think, problem is I can't install CWM from stock recovery, when selecting update from sd/zip or whatever it says, I pick the CWM file on my SD-card.
Then the graphic gets messed up and I can no longer see the menu clear.

before you flash cwm make sure its in the root directory of your sdcard... . So to say sd root is to say the topmost folder on the sdcard, which is just on the sd and not in a folder.
without getting odin recognize your Mobile you should not flash anything as if you get in any trouble it would be easy for you to flash the stock rom
and best and safest method to flash cwmr is to flash it through odin
you cannot backup stock rom with cwm recovery only custom one's can be backed up
to backup apps and data you should use titanium backup

Flash Recovery - Broken Home Button

Hi guys!
I will try to mod a Galaxy Ace (stock 2.3.6), but the home button is dead.
So, I suppose the most part of my job will be made under adb shell. I'm thinking to start rooting it using SuperOneClick. But I need a recovery version that don't use the home button. I was thinking to flash the PX Recovery, which have touch support. But all the versions I looked for are flashable via recovery (I found a Galaxy Mini recovery flashable via Odin instead).
I was noticed by this forum search engine a same issue with a Galaxy S phone user, solved using CF-Root (its CWM shifts home for power button, a nice workaround), but I don't want to make a mistake and brick this Ace.
I could flash PX Recovery, extracting the img file from the CWM package, pushing it to the phone and flashing it manually, but it could be risky also. Just an idea, since the recovery interface do the same thing, but with a GUI.
I'd like some directions before perform any flash on this phone. I found a lot of resources here for my old phones (Motorola MB501, Samsung Galaxy 5 and Ace), but this Ace will be a challenge, for sure!
Thanks in advance!

Unrooted 2.3.6 stock ROM. As I said above, first thing is root it, using the instructions from this community. Phone is "untouched" yet.
You'll be wanting the home button anyway. So why not take it to a service center & get it fixed ? There are a few work arounds but why do all that ?

Out warranty, and the service center will, for sure, replace the entire board, so they can charge more money than the service I need. In Brazil, it's common raise the service prices more than needed. Would be easier find for another Ace than fix it =)
Try to root your your phone using superoneclick. Then install cwm manager & select install update from sd card. And flash px recovery. Choose a stock based rom with ext4 file system & flash without wipes. I think you won't be able to wipe anything off stock rom as it isn't in ext4 format. Now after flashing the rom, reboot. Now reboot into recovery, do full wipes & flash the rom again to get it clean ! Done !

Venomous, just don't forget my dead home button. I can't make selections on the recovery interface. If you read above, I'm thinking to use adb commands to flash it (adb shell flash-recovery cwm.img, for example). So, if I extract the recovery img file, push it into the phone sd card, and flash using adb/fastboot, will it work?
As well I can switch to download mode through adb (reboot-download).

But px recovery doesn't require home button & cwm manager is just an app, not recovery. I haven't tried superoneclick & I donno if it uses home button during the process. But if not, my method should work.

Is CWM Manager a frontend of CWM Recovery, or is it an Independent app? Once this ace is still stock (stock recovery, I can't flash unsigned packages), I'm not sure it will work. Did you got it now?
CWM manager is an app. You can access it from app drawer, grant su permissions & select install update from sd card. Choose px recovery zip & it automically reboots into recovery & flashes it for you. And then you can use px recovery to flash roms. I'm sorry I cannot help any further unless you try or I'm sorry if I ain't able to understand what you want to convey.

[Q] galaxy tab p1000 overcome v4.0.0 not rooted

i have a galaxy tab p1000 v/ gingerbread 2.3.3. i followed the instructions on installing the GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip and Overcome v4.0.0 kernel using heimdall utility. After a couple of tries, i was able to get the kernel to install and things are working fine. I thought Overcome v4.0.0 kernel install will give me root access but apparently not. Can i run the doomsLord v4 rooting toolkit to root this or not? I dont' want to mess it up again and redo the entire install process to fix again. Also, i downloaded the clockworkmod app from the google store but it doesn't support the p1000. How and where do i obtain custom roms and install on this device? can i download cyanogenmod custom rom, put it in the sd card and boot to recovery and run install? Not sure since i now have the Overcome v4.0.0 kernel, i can't install any of these roms? i've never used custom roms so no sure what can and cannot be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can install overcome ROM 4.1 (not just the kernel)
If you want, it is rooted, you can follow my signature.
But overcome kernel 4.0 is what gives you cwm recovery. That is the recovery you can use to install cyanogenmod or any custom ROM.
Just read their respective instructions.
Ask again if you are stuck.

hi, from the link you sent, i see a couple of overcome 7 series v4.1 , which one can i use that won't mess up what i currently have? also, are you saying after installing one of these, it'll also root the tab? i'd like to remove some apps like 'Pulse' and the Office software on this device. Thanks again.
I always use the no wipe version.
You can always wipe data manually from cwm if needed.
But always make a habit of wiping cache and dalvik cache when changing ROM/kernel.
Yes, when you install rooted ROM, you have root.
I don't think pulse is built in. You can uninstall from Play market.
But if you can't remove, learn how to use Titanium Backup to uninstall apps.
You don't seem like a person who needs root.....

hi, sorry i'm not an expert on this so i'm bugging you again. So my p1000 tab has firmware 2.3.3 , kernel 2.6.35.7 Overcome-v4.0.0 #40. You mentioned i can install ROM 4.1 . I see in your list Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip. To update to that, do i just copy it to my internal SD, fire up CWM Recovery and go thru the 'install menu, choose zip from internal sd' , select this zip file and update? Or i can't do it that way?
that is the right way.
