Hi all,
I want to install CWM on my rooted SGS however there appears to be on CF Kernel that matches my JVN Kernel so using the CF method is not an option from what I have read.
So I installed ROM Manager and tried to install it that way but I now get signature verification errors when I go into Recovery.
Next I downloaded the recovery image from the CWM website but I cannot seem to find any information on installing it onto a SGS.
If anyone could offer any suggestions it would be appreciated.
TIA
Greg
Edit: Firmware is 2.3.3
Why dont you just flash JVU then Root it
Comes with CWM ....
As I am guessing you want CWM to flash a rom yes?
If so most Roms require ...from my knowledge a clean install of JVU with ODIN before flashing a New Rom

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.
You need to root your phone first with update.zip for i9000, download the latest CWM.zip, put it in the storage. Then go to recovery and install the CWM.zip Goodluck flashing!

Can you use any version of JVU? eg: Europe, Asia, Australia. Or, should you only use one for your region, in my case Australia.
I have an Australian verion of JW6 (2.3.6), would that be acceptable?

Thanks for the UPDATE.ZIP, I note it is just a renamed CWM. I did not know you could just rename them and then install them. Thanks.
So, my plan at this stage is to update to 2.3.6 (JW6) and then install CWM via UPDATE.ZIP. Should this work?
TIA

Yeah you can upgrade first. Flash a firmware or upgrade OTA. You should root your phone first before flashing a custom recovery such as CWM.

Ok, I have ROM Manager premium installed, rooted, etc. I'm running 2.2 version UVKB5 on my T Mobile Samsung Vibrant.
I've selected the option to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery for the "Samsung Vibrant" and it won't boot to CWR. If I select reintall packages, it fails every time.
Help!
did you install both the free and premium version of rom manager?

Make sure the "update.zip" file is on your Int SD card... power off your phone.
While holding down the Vol up+down, press and hold all 3 buttons till the "Samsung/Vibrant splash screen pops up.
You should boot into stock recovery, use vol up and down to move up and down and choose "reinstall update" with power... it should reboot and bring you right back to where you were... repeat choose "reinstall update" with power... now you should boot into CWM recoery.
I think the problem is that you have the new recovery (3e I think) that requires signed update.zip files. I'd recommend using Odin3 to flash another kernel which will come with CWM. If you don't want to do that, there is a guide somewhere on xda to allow 3e recovery to flash unsigned update.zip files.

Exactly clockwork will not install with 3e recovery. Either flash a new kernel or do the 3e mod recovery. Odin will take 1 min to complete its process of flashing a kernel, you should definitely do this. Or just go back to stock and start your flashing journey from there.

Yup, I installed ROM Manager, then bought the premium key. I've got all functionality available to me.
Only problem is that when it flashes the recovery, nothing happens. If I reboot to recovery, it says the update.zip has an invalid signature. It seems nothing works. Am I supposed to flash back to droid 2.1 to get this thing working? It seems like it should be easier than this....

Thanks for the info. Any suggestions on kernels to use and a link for more info on what specifically a kernel is/does? Last thing I want to do is brick this puppy
Update...
Ok, did a little google-fu and found some links. I am using 3e, so ODIN it is! Thanks for the nudge int he right direction - wish me luck!
you can download this and used it to flash back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 .and root and then try rom manger again this work for me all the time.

Yes, you are correct... another solution is to Odin the KB5 kernel with Voodoo and Recovery, make sure nothing check in Odin - LINK

If your running CyanogenMod, there no way around Odin'ing to get back to stock. CyanogenMod (CM7) changes the partitioning to MTD from Stock RFS/Ext4. Only way to get that back is to Odin back to stock.
I've upgrade to 2.3 via Kies and rooted my phone already, but I have no idea how to flash CWM Recovery. When I try to via the market rom manager app, the only options are Epic 4G and GalaxyS i9000. Any ideas?
I've looked at this guide, although it's in Thai Google translate does well enough, but I'm no longer on 2.2 and my device is already rooted, so I'm not sure if I can still use part of it to get CWM Recovery.

Hi,
The site you reffer to looks like a guide to install Android 2.3.3 If you followed that guide to install and root your device, you should have CWM installed and have it available when rebooting with Volume-UP + Power...Besides, if you want CWM to flash anything you'll need to have the zips on your SD, then navigate in CWM to 'install from SD | choose zip | navigate to required file and press Home to flash...

I appreciate your response, but the issue is I didn't upgrade to 2.3 using this guide but with Kies as opposed to this guide using Odin. I really want to install BOCA!

eeehm, yah ... errr well then, why don't you just pick up the files and flash it ? It might be possible you'll need to reflash the bootloader (cfr. Chainfire) to flash without any problem any ROM you'd like to...
Im trying to do an ics update on my rogers captivate... I have the files i need to get it done but i just cant get it into the rom recovery mode. I know a little about this stuff but not a whole lot (learning as i go along!). I have Recovery 3e on it right now and by the sounds of it, this is not going to work to get it into rom recovery mode... so i downloaded the rom explorer and got a file that was supposed to replace 3e with 2e or something of that matter so i can get it in the right recovery mode to upload ics onto my phone. I moved the file to system/bin and renamed the old recovery file recovery.bak i than moved the other recovery file to the same place and changed the permissions! i rebooted my phone and still nothing! Any help would be greatly apreciatted... and dumb it down a bit so i can understand!

Simple way: Download the Heimdall one click in my signature. Backup the stuff on your phone. Go into download mode. Run the one-click. Install the drivers that come with it (it will tell you how). Click the big "flash" button. You will have CWM when it's done, and can flash from there.
^Or you could just flash a kernel with CWM build into it.
The ideal platform for flashing an ICS Rom has to be CWM + Root + Stock GB ROM ( kk4 leak ).
If you got some patience, do it in order.
1. Root your phone.
2. Install CWM recovery.
3. Optional :Flash any GB Rom ( Preferably any one of those captivate leaked roms) using CWM.
4. Download ICS ROM (teamhacksung seems to be stable) and Flash TWICE through CWM
Enjoy

Yes . Root is technically a Linux kernel super user privilege

so then you know that it doesnt matter if you have root or not when you are in CWM, since you arent in an OS....?
therefore, ROOTING is not necessary to flash a new rom..
I also am on rogers and what I did was to use an heimdall 1-click package that flashed CWM for me then I used CWM to flash an ICS build.

Did You get this resolved?
If yes, what are the files required, I am new to the android rooting arena
My aunty recently gave my sister a Samsung Galaxy S. I find it laggy and so I want to flash a good rom. I already rooted it. I tried to flash new rom through rom manager, keeps force closing. Stock 2.3 with odin and download mode. Download doesn't work. Apparently it is because my phone is from Optus Australia. I am currently running Android 2.2 Froyo. I have always been a fan of Cyanogen Mod and so I want to flash it.
And so I enter the ClockWorkRecovery and to flash new rom, it has to be called update.zip etc. The ROM file for Cyanogen is update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS. Is it possible to rename this to update.zip so I can flash rom through ClockWorkRecovery? Will it work?
Link to ROM: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32492-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s-v710-9-oct-2011/
you can try as in this order...
1. rename the ziped rom file as "update.zip"
2. put it on the root drive.(do not put it in any folder or not in the micro sd card)
3. now go to CWM by pressing vloume up + home + power button
4. select "apply /sdcard/update.zip"
if your CWM does not show it on the main manu ->
5. select "install zip from sdcard"
6. select "apply /sdcard/update.zip"
7. select yes
done it should work...
I dont understand....
Why do you can' t flash it normal?

I dont really know about renaming and flashing it, bit i deffinatly recommend you to flash stock gingerbread first, runs better on gingerbread bootloaders + battery life is way better

Totally agree: flash with Odin the last stock firmware for your area and then root with CF-Root. Now you have the CWM Recovery and are able to flash your file with any name.
You'll need to get into download mode (try adb reboot download after enabling usb debugging on the phone.) If that works, then you can flash the 3-button combo fix, and then flash an alternate firmware using ODIN.

Highly recommend you fix that first. Download mode and 3 button recovery is highly convenient and essential in case a flash goes wrong.

i thought you can choose to install zip from sd card and choose directly which zip file you can use?
in CWM = install zip from sdcard ------choose zip from sd card ; something like that

Tried. Install Rom Mangaer, flash ClockWorkMod. Rebooted. Click install from SD card. The green bar goes to half way then shows up with something aborted. Failed.
Seems a corrupted file.. Have you checked the md5 hash is correct?
Maybe a JIG would help you to run in download mode if it is your problem...
I also think that first of all should be flashing a stock gingerbread using odin, next flash with odin a gingerbread kernel, semaphore, talondev... And then go into recovery and flash the rom you want
Is it possible to install CWM through stock recovery? Or via any app on rooted phone? Or is it possible to just unpack CWM and put every file in it's place? (I know it's probably stupid, but I want to know)

CWM can be flashed through stock recovery.
1) First download this file - http://www.mediafire.com/?qadx0xhewbfm89a
2) Enter stock recovery
3) Choose apply update from sd
4) Choose the zip file>>yes
There you go. CWM is installed on your device.
CWM can also be flashed via Odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156194
As for unpacking and putting every file in place, i suppose it can be done but what's the point?
