Installing Darky's / Axura ROM

Hey everyone, I'm trying to play with a couple ROMS, starting with the Darky 7.7 ROM from stock Froyo 2.2 on a Galaxy S i9000.
I've done the following:
1) Rooted the phone using SuperOneClick (proven to be rooted with ROM Manager).
2) Transfered the Darkys ROM.zip to the internal SD Card
3) Downloaded and copied ClockworkMod from the original post (file is update.zip) and transferred this to my internal SD Card
4) Gone into ROM Manager, selected Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery
5) Select Install ROM from SD card
6) Selected Darkys_V7.7_Gingerbread_.....zip
7) Prompted with Backup Existing, or Wipe Data and Cache. I chose Wipe. It tells me I will be brought into recovery to continue.
8) Chose apply sdcard:update.zip
Receive the following error:
Install default apk-files, finished
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifiying update package...
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Where have I gone wrong? Any help is appreciated

Go to recovery mode (power off then vol up+home+power). If you're already using clockworkmod, then select install zip from sd card. If you're not using cwm yet, select install update.zip to give you cwm then choose install zip in sdcard.

You need to install a kernel that has 2e recovery, this version doesn't verify file signatures, or go back to 2.1.

I see now when I enter recovery mode at the top it says Android Recovery 3e. I'm assuming that should say Clockworkmod Recovery.
It is the next step I'm stumped with
What is an example of a kernel that runs 2e? Flashing is done through ODIN correct? Can you help me figure out how to flash in ODIN, or where I can find a 2e kernel for my i9000?

Grab the latest speed mod kernel from hardcore in the dev section, flash that via odin and it will be 2e recovery. Then follow darkys instructions and flash his rom. After his rom is on depending on where you are you might have to flash your original stock modem but only do that if your phone doesn't register on your network.

I am having difficulties flashing via ODIN. Can you help me find some help, perhaps an ODIN guide of some kind?
I have found a UGJH2 kernel that should be 2e recovery, now I just need to learn to flash it.

ODIN is a program that flashes individual kernels, CSC's, modems and other bits to your phone. It's one of the methods used to flash ROMs also. If you search the forums (or even Google) you should be able to get everything together. I recommend searching for ODIN, the 512 pit file, and then following the instructions below to re-root your phone.

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery error: signature verification failed!

Hi all,
I installed JPY (2.2.1) Rom on my SGS yesterday, rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
Tested the phone, everything is ok and the root is also ok.
Then installed Clockworkmod, flash cwm recovery 2.5.1.2, click on Backup, the phone automatic rebooted but presented my with a normal recovery screen.
In it I can do something like; a factory reset, clean card data, restart or click on update.zip (I thing that goes to the update.zip that cwm put on my sdcard).
But when I click it gives this error:
Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Tried everything... What can I do in order to cwm works and backups my sgs??
All the help is appreciated...
Thanks,

you loose 2e recover when going to froyo.. needed for clockwork ..
flash a kernel that restores it ie
chainfire/cf or speedmod or backlight notifiction ie bln kernel.

So what are you saying is that CWR doesn't work with 3e recovery? Only with 2e?

Because 3e does not allow unsigned zips hence the error message..

Thanks for the explanation,
Didn't know why it works with one and not the other...
Anyway, its working now, thanks for all the help!
For anyone that has the same problem, here is what I did:
Flashed the phone with I9000XXJPY and with Odin. You can find JPY here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2
Put PIT 512 in PIT and in PDA put the file JPY_JPY_JPY.tar (no repartition selected).
Shutdown the phone after it starts.
Start Odin again and in PDA put this file: CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
You can download it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
After that you can install CWM. When you click in backup and the phone restarts see if 2e restore appears in top of the screen if so all is ok.
Also, if a normal screen appears just click in update.zip and after that you will see the cwm screen.
In the cwm recovery screen the sgs buttons are like this: back button is the “enter” and the “menu” is the back button.
P.S. If you need to install TPH for Portuguese language just tell me, cause the CSC installed is KOR and you don't have TPH in CSC file to install.
Once again, Thanks to all who help me!

Great explanation but for the record (for anyone looking for a solution), if you're already on a 2.2 firmware, you can simple start at the step of flashing a custom kernel that supports CWM (i.e. there's no need to first flash to JPY).

How about
1. Repartition with a 512 pit from odin.
2. Flash Stock JM8 or JM9 (Usually i am flashing JM8 when things get messed)
3. Use update zip and install clockworkmod from it . (you will not have any signature errors because now you have recovery 2e)
4. Sometimes you will have to apply sd card update twice to get to CWM.
5. Vola, now you have working clockworkmod recovery and you can flash whatever the things you want with it

horrible suggestion you both need to search b4 posting.. been posted multiple at least 20 times now.. you DONT need to go install a new rom and blow everything away on your phone just to get 2e recovery so clockwork works.. search search.. there are kernels out there you can flash to get back 2e recovery

Oh yeah. forgot to mention it. there is a post that have a kernel which gives you recovery 2e on JPY firmware. (Don't know other firmwares has it or not)
Anyway, in my case i like to blow everything and start all over when i got messed up. because i don't use my sgs for very precious works. i'm just playing with it
Kudos to the lgkahn for bringing this kernel thing up

Okay..seems like this thread is getting nowhere..
Go to the android development section and look for hardcore's speedmod kernel. Download the latest version and flash it via Odin.
Btw, let me give you a tip once you are in hardcore's thread. PLEASE READ THE FIRST 3-4 POSTS AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
I don't think you are exerting enough effort to research here in the forum so I just gave you one of the simplest and shortest step to have CWM directly.

is it OK to use Stericssion autosin.bat to sign the update.zip downloaded by CWM and then flash it using recovery 3e? We will not have to flash the CF Kernel.

[Q] cwm not installing with recovery 3e

Ok so i just rooted my sgs with superoneclick and im trying to install cwm recovery but when it reboots its starts in my normal recovery (3e) and fails during install. Can someone guide me in the right direction?This is what it says:
installing package
Finding update package

PS I have no problem flashing using odin and starting from scratch. I just want my phone to run to the best of its ability. So please reccomend the best build, rom, theme and apps to have too.
Thanks in advance to all responses.

well 3e recovery can't flash unsigned zips from recovery so try flashing another kernel via odin that has support for i9000m

Any ideas on the best kernel to flash that supports i9000m?

Since you know how to flash. Go to this link to download and flash JVT pda, kg3 modem and csc with 512pit in odin. It wont bootloop and then you can flash any jvt kernel as pda. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881

Yes. You can flash any kernel for gt-i9000 you want via odin. But make sure you flash correct version for your firmware or it will give you bootloop

Many thanks! Going to try this now. Been wanting 4.0.1 on my SGS for ages.

Hello.
I'm having almost the same problem.
I can use the usb un the phone.
I have 3e recovery installed and i woul like to instal clockwork mode.
There's a different way to flash clockwork mode?
I've tried from RomManager but the signature is verified and doesn't work.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, it should be flashed using Odin3, together with a kernel, will work better than ROM manger, so go here and follow the instructions.

it is rooted
i installed rom manager
i hit Flash clockworkmod recovery (on rom manager)
choosed my phone *samsung galaxys i9000*
downloded and installed successfully (alleged)
hit reboot to cwm recovery (on rom manager)
it reboot .. Android system recovery <3e>
and in red text (E:failed to verify whole-file signature "and" E:signature verification failed)

i don't know what's wrong here ... all i wanted to do is to apply updatefile.zip of cyanogen mod ....
..............................
i downloaded the updatefile of CWM and renamed to update.zip and tried to update from the android system recovery 3e it gave me same red error
..............................
can some one help me here please i'm stuck and don't know what to do .

I had some kind of this message one time, try to go in download mode to write again the PIT file.

i didn't understand what you mean by write again the PIT file .... you meant open odin3 get another PIT file ? or re-flash the gingerbread and then root it all over again ? you think this would fix anything ? i'm still confused not sure what to do

If you want CM, just flash custom kernel as a PDA in Odin. You will get CWM.
Then go to CM thread and follow instrcutions.

one last question ........ can you suggest a kernel to me .. I'm on rooted 2.3.3 gingerbread JPJV6 ..

3e is your problem, it only allows Samsung-signed packages. I'm using ChainFire's CF-Root kernel with stock JVT (until I get TeamHacksung's ICS working properly!)

Well, if you're going to CM, it is same what kernel to use when flashing CM. Just pick one up, like Semaphore, download it, put it in Odin as a PDA, flash it. Then you have CWM. In CM you can't use what ever kernel you want

thanks i'll download semaphore kernel and see what's gonna happen i appreciate your help here really

[Q] Infinite Boot Loop After Installing Custom Recovery

Hi everyone,
I've a problem with my SGS.
I was trying to install my first custom rom on the stock android 2.3.6 - CM10 following the WIKI.
After I've installed as suggested Heimdall, I've tried to install hardcore's ClockworkMod Recovery but once I've typed the command "heimdall flash --kernel zImage" in the terminal window the phone starts booting up again and again in an infinite loop.
How can i fix the problem?

Do you use sgs or sgs+ ?
because i know more things about the sgs+
maybe solution: turn out the battery and then if you can get into recovery mode, flash a cwm recovery zip and an ICS or JB rom
if it doesn't help report back
Greets

It is a SGS.
I've noticed that I can get into ClockworkMod recovery with the 3-buttons combo and i can navigate in the menu or wipe cache and so on.
Is it possible that my problem is due to an wrong firmware? Maybe i should use the multiCSC version?
Where can I find the cwm recovery zip?

Thanks everyone for help and hints!
I managed installing CM10 by reverting to stock firmware with Odin, then reflashing again CF with Odin and at the end installing latest CM10.1 successfully
The only thing I was missing in the first attempt was I haven't installed KIES on the pc (it is new) where i plugged the SGS (I thought that with heimdall i wasn't supposed to install kies) but in order to get Odin working i must install kies.
After kies installation, Odin successfully revert to stock firmware, than CF e than CM10.1
