If you havent already download Rom Manager and reflash CWM. Soemtimes people tell you to flash an older version then reflash the newest version.

Whenever I try to install an older version, I get a message saying "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" I've tried it on 3G and Wifi, and I can download other things just fine.
Do you have the update.zip for CWM still on your sdcard? If so reboot into recovery using the power and volume key, it should take you to the Samsung recovery, then go to apply update.zip.

I just get sent back to CWM and I get the same error. Would removing ROM Manager remove CWM?
In order to have a fully working rom manager, you have to flash the clockworkmod.tar kernal. I was having the exact same issues, I couldn't do a backup or restore. You will have to do odin on your phone.

Exactly.
You cannot install CWM without odin / redbend / etc. There are no shortcuts. Just downloading ROM Manager and hoping that you're special or lucky is not enough to make this work.
Follow the instructions.
I guess I had assumes he had already done that.

Hey guys!
The ClockworkMod recovery has been released. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787168 Check out this post and do what it says. Once it is finished go download ROM Manager from the Market and update your recovery! I will have a rom out ASAP after I get it tested :] If you wanna test email me at [email protected]
Which of those 3 zip files needs to be flashed ?
So does that mean that samsung reviewed and fixed the code they released or was there something that the devs were missing when trying to build the kernel?

This is not built from source, this is a duct taped together version of recovery, it should work for now though.
I've got CWM running on my Fascinate! =)
Too bad it doesn't mount the SDcard and it places nandroid backups in /data, but it's a start. =)
Do we flash it in ODIN using the PDA box ?

good stuff!
Very exciting news.. Looking forward to coming home and giving it a try.. at least making a full nandroid backup.. I've had to rebuild this phone from scratch way too many times now.
I'm not really clear on the instructions.
I have downloaded the captivate_recovery.zip but I'm not sure how to proceed from that point. Am I using Odin?
This isn't working for me, I flashed the tar file in ODIN and then installed clockwork from rom manager. When I click reboot into recovery it loads up a stock recovery and gives some errors under it.
Update with more info:
When I reboot into recovery from RomManager I get
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I'm thinking this means the ODIN flash didn't work correctly
Maybe someone could post clear step-by-step instructions?
what tar file cheeto. all i'm seeing is three zip files, that when unzipped have no extension. a little help?

You flashed a new recovery kernel with the clockworkmod recovery binary. I'm confused why you would try and install again, on top of it, from ROM manager? (Don't take that the wrong way.. that's not an "OMG Why would you do that?!" It's an "I'm not following your logic".. )
Re-do your initial step (flash recovery via odin) and that should be it, unless I'm missing something here.
and for those of us still out of the loop... how do you flash the recovery via odin? add a .tar to the file in the zip? rename the .zip file to .tar? help us out please.

Hang in there, I know it's frustrating. Let us get some more feedback on this and how it's working before the steps are broken down so that anyone can follow along. The last thing we all want to see is post after post from people who did this not knowing how to fix their phones if something goes wrong.
If you're confident you know what's going on, the posts are there, in the Fascinate forum, on how to use odin. Feel free to check them out.
BE CAREFUL EVERYONE. there are quite a few issues with cwm still, It doesn't detect the sdcard, so you wont be able to flash a backup. and you can only get into recovery by rebooting into recovery through rom manager.
I'm following the Bionix instructions at the Team Whiskey website. And I'm stuck at the part where I need to reboot into CWM.
After I dl'd ROM Manager, and I clicked to the latest CWM, I did not immediately reboot my phone (as I have now read that I should have done). and anything I try to get CWM to start isn't working. Any ideas?
After you flash Clock Work Recovery from Rom Manager reboot into stk recovery. Then reinstall packages . You may need to reinstall packages twice then it should come up .

I'm on 3e. What do I need to flash to change this?
Go to the Development section and look for untermensch's 3e recovery modified to work like 2e .
You could also Odin back to 2.1 stk then reflash CWM in RomManager the flash what ever you want .

last time I downgraded to change stuff I went back to: T959UVJFD. and then rooted with SuperOneClick.
so now I should do the same, but right after update with the update.zip file above^^?
UPDATE: used Odin to go back to T959UVJFD. afterwords I rooted using this page. installed the packaged that bartek25 posted to get CWM working (it didn't work after flashing thru Rom Manager). then finally installed Bionix-V through CWM. Great success! thanks everyone!
Thank you bartek25!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was stuck and could not boot into th clock work recovery for the past 2hours. Found this and read you post,used the file you gave the OP and it worked!!
I am not able to flash Villain ROM 2.3 or anything else. The reason is that when it reboots into recovery mode, it starts with: -
_ Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any idea what's going on, I just recovered my SGS2 from almost being a brick!
Cheers!
It sounds like a corrupted file. Your download might not have completed or you are having hardware issues such as faulty ram.
Before updating a ROM, try to checking the MD5 checksum to see if they are correct if the chef provides it.
Go into your recovery and press the Choose zip to flash option, there you can select 'turn off signature verification, now you can happily flash.
Sorted!
Thanks God I got it sorted...thanks for the help of some guys in VillainROM thread.
Actually, what happened was that after flashing Chainfire's kernel, to get rid of the Yellow triangle, I was supposed to flash the Samsung stock kernel. That's what I did. BUT, after that you had to further extract the same CHAINFIRE's kernel, NOT the stock kernel to its zImage and had to put it on the root of the internal sd_card.
But, unfortunately, I being, careless extracted Samsung's stock kernel to its zImage and copied that to the sd_card. Now after flashing Samsung's stock kernel to remove the yellow triangle, it's important to flash the ChainFire's kernel's zImage so that it could again ROOT, install busy box and add CWM on the phone.
So, guys if you still having the same problem, remove the zImage you already have on your sd_card and replace it with the 1 from ChainFire's kernel and it will sort your problem and you will be able to see CWM again with FULL options.
Chillaxxxx!
hey i have copied the zimage to my sd card, but in android 3e recovery i cannot flash it .. i only see apply update zip option. but i cant select the zImage file please!!
In CWM, Flash kernel and select the zImage.zip, phone will reboot, done.

Do you have a custom recovery such as clockworkmod recovery or TWRP installed? If not the only way to whipe dalvik cache is to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. Before you install a custom ROM you should install a custom recovery.

No problem man glad to help, but yes "recovery" is for recovering something when something with your ROM goes wrong, but it can also be used for basic maintenance functions such as reformatting things, as well as flashing certain scripts, kernels, mods etc.

You installed CWM (Clockworkmod Recovery correct?) if you did go under "install zip from sdcard", then "toggle signature verification" and it make sure it says signature check: disabled this should allow you to flash the ROM.

Try running the fix permission utility in ROM manager, see if that solves your problem. You should also be able to use CWM recovery to fix permissions as well.

I'm in the process of flashing CM11 from JellyBeans, and am stuck booting into recovery mode. I attempted to flash the latest CM11 nightly release using TWRP recovery 2.5.0, which failed. I then tried to reboot and it said that I had "lost root permissions" and asked if I wanted to fix them, which I agreed to. Now it will only boot into the TWRP recovery mode.
Here is the text from when I try to flash the file.

You can download the latest zip (6.0.4.3) and flash in your current recovery, or use a tool from the market place. Something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en

We have all been there. Always make a backup before flashing anything.
I also was not able to flash CM11 using TWRP... Assuming you can transfer files to your SD Card (microsd adapter maybe?) try flashing a 4.2 touchwiz based rom and see if that gets your phone to boot. Once you are back on, download the ROM Manager app and use it to install CWM. Then reboot into recovery (it will now be CWM) and flash CM11. Make sure you have the correct google apps zip as well.
Question... did you wipe memory/cache?
