Hey, guys and gals.
I did a quick search and nothing I found seemed to answer this specifically. Forgive me if there is a thread answering this, and maybe link me to it if you know of one. Here goes:
I am getting ready to flash Bionix V to my Vibrant. I had previously installed the official KA6 Froyo update from Tmobile. I am rooted and without any sort of lag fix running. Just stock and rooted. When I try to do a Nandroid, after booting into recovery, I'm brought to the normal (blue) system recovery screen. I was told I should try the "reinstall packages" option in order to see the clockwork recovery screen. When I do, I get the following errors in red:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Prior to rebooting into recovery I used ROM Manager to flash the latest clockwork recovery for my device (T-Mobile Vibrant) and that seemed to go just fine.
I'm really looking forward to enjoying Bionix, but I feel like this speedbump is going to cause problems, as I can't seem to get into the clockwork recovery screen.
Any ideas?
-Jake-
Its failing because ka6 uses 3e recovery which clockworkmod doesn't work on. And this belongs in the Q&A section. Please post in the correct sections.

you need to odin back to 2.2 2e and then reinstall.

I have flashed voodoo stock kernel by supercurio, it comes with it's own recovery. You can easily enable or disable the lagfix in recovery, and use it to flash custom roms.

Did you flash that without root? I know that is noobish, I had read you could flash his stock Ka6 kernal and not have to root..

Thank you. This was actually helpful.
The quickest way if you have a PC is to install untermensch's modified 3e recovery:

As others have mentioned, some kernels also have CWM Recovery built-in.

Ok, but how do I flash that kernel without access to a recovery console?

Everything's been smooth so far in regards to my vibrant modification but I noticed something today that might cause problems in the future
Im running stock rom with kingxkernel 3 and ryans oclf
I can get into clockwork recovery through rom manager without a problem (that's how I've been doing it) but if I go into recovery mode using the hardware keys it brings me to the stock recovery..any suggestions? ??? I know in the very beginning I had to choose reinstall packages and then it showed up but I was afraid to do that again before asking in case it screws up my phone
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
clockwork recovery doesn't replace stock recovery on the vibrant.
If you manually enter recover, you have to do the "reinstall packages" part in the stock recovery which will then load the clockwork recovery.
Oh okay thanks for the reply!

You have to select reinstall packages, and it will go to the blue recovery again, then press reinstall packages again and clockwork should boot up everytime.
So i just have to keep on reinstalling packages until cwm works?? I think i will lose my superuser etc.. What zip file do i have to put on my intrnal card?

Once u are rooted you done need update.zip for root
What if i already rooted my phone using super one click root on my froyo 2.2? Do I still have to update? By update.zip?

After you used super one click root, delete that update.zip file that it places in your internal memory.
Then download rom manager, click flash clockwork-mod recovery and it should say boot into the blue recovery. In there click reinstall packages, and if it takes yiu to the blue screen again, click reinstall packages one more time and you should boot into clockwork from now on.
Ok thank you master and slave one more question do I still have to install the unzip thing from my internal sd? Or not a any more?

Since you are on 2.2, you need the modified 3e recovery. Then you should be able to get into CWM.
Or you can just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 and Odin back to 2.1 and not have any issues updating your ROM.
Reading all the guides helps alot with these questions.

The method I was giving you was for 2.1
Its easier to root from 2.1.
But the thread above should help
Another route around 3e recovery is to use a Voodoo kernel, because those have CWM baked right in. I recommend this because for whatever reason I couldn't get modded 3e recovery working.

tried that but it still booting to the blue txt and the install tells me that it failed to verify whole- file signature. is there anything that i can try???
odin back to stock as people have said 2.1 is easier to root and then do as ur told with root and cwr!
I tried to re-install packages after I flashed clockworkmod recovery and got an error
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
How to fix this. Someone suggested re-root with a simple script included. .... Sorry I'm a noob and learning everything
Doesn't work with the latest stock ROM
I am a noob like you. I reinstalled the stock ROM using the AIO Vibrant Toolbox. Than I upgraded to the latest stock ROM using the Kios. But the Clockworkmod recovery did not work just like yours.
After spending hours and trying several different ways without any luck, I decided to start over. This time I did not load the latest ROM update with Kios. This time I was able to load Clockworkmod recovery. I think it has a problem with the latest stock recovery software.
with the stock 2.2 you need a modified recovery. stock uses 3e recovery so you need to odin supercurios ka6 voodoo kernel or go thru the dev section and do the steps for the modified 3e recovery.

Tried that and it no worked. Can I Odin Supercurio's KA6 Voodoo kernal like another user stated...If so How do I ODIN it.....Also can I flash the Overstock kernal after that
Download Odin
open it up on your pc
turn off your phone & plug the USB into your phone
hold down both of the volume keys (not the power key)
plug the other end into pc
should be in download mode
check to see if you have a yellow COM port in ODIN
if you do, place the KA6 voodoo.tar in the PDA line of ODIN and hit start
it will take some time 5 or 10 mins...and your phone will reboot on its own..
DONOT do anything to it while this process is happening..
find an app on market called Quick boot and then you can CWM recovery flash the Overstock kernel or use Kernel Flasher to flash Overstock kernel.
there is also the AIO toolbox in the DEV section you could use
try this on for size...worked for me. Hopefully for you too.
Let us know your results.

I did odin and it said not enough space on partion and something else enabled.
I re-booted into red recovery, YEAH.... What did it mean not enough space on partion?... Should I use SGS Kernal flasher and load over stock? I think I did it last night and overstock never booted
I Give Up, Somebody please help me
I'm trying to load the the overclocked kernal with voodoo sound for my Vibrant. I have rooted it, I used Odin to load supercurio's KA6 Build With Voodoo, it loads however the voice says said not enough space on partion and something else enabled.

I loaded Overstock through red recovery and it bricked my phone
I even tried using clockworkmod recovery, but cant get the 3e to 2e converison to work. Any idea's. I have odin back to stock so many times. Im frusterated
So i updated OTA to 2.2 and then rooted my Fascinate. Now I'm trying to flash a new rom using Rom Manager but whenever I try to install a rom or reboot into recovery i get the error

The consensus seems to be not to use ROM manager and to ODIN Clockwork Recovery Manager. Unfortunately there seems to be a little mentioned bug where CWM won't stay after the 1st time you reboot and I can't find a solution to this yet.

CWM will stay after you boot but you need to change your kernel. After you boot stock kernel overwrites cwm. Definately use odin to flash cwm, boot to recovery, should be red, flash custom kernel. I use JT's undervolted voodoo. If you voodoo itll take a little while to boot while voodoo converts your system.

Island beat me to it but he is exactly correct. I kept the stock kernel at first but i had to ODIN CWM 2 times as the first time it was blue but after 2nd time it was red. But the best way is to flash a custom Kernel which will keep it red

What I meant to say is what you said above: you can boot into CWM right after you flash it, but if you restart again it will go into stock recovery.

I've ODIN'd CWM multiple times but it still gets overwritten with the stock recovery. I'd like to stick with the stock ED01 kernel but can't find any ZIPs to flash this kernel via CWM.
You need to get the 3e recovery and put in /system/bin/ I had the same thing happen to me.. look up 3e recovery. It a common problem when the Galaxy S is updated to 2.2. Once you put the recovery file into the /system/bin/ you can flash CWM and it will all be good
Good Luck

No, what is needed to get into CWM is you need to flash CWM via Odin. Take the battery out when going into download mode. After flashing, unplug the USB cable and put the battery back in. When you go to start the phone, boot straight into recovery. The stock kernel reflashes recovery on every boot, so if you boot the phone normally, the phone will continue to have stock recovery. Once in CWM, flash a custom kernel and you'll be set as the custom kernels don't reflash recovery on boot.

This is unfortunate because I used to run a version of CWM just fine with the stock EB01 kernel. With the current CWMs I finally found a way to get it to work with the stock kernel: rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.

i just waited some time and placed the debinged rom from adrenylne on my sd card then used the 3-30 tar and put my self in red voodoo flashed a different kernel theme then rom and all is good
Ok, i rooted last night with SuperOneClick (psneuter) and I installed ROM Manager and flashed the Vibrant Recovery.. But now I can't access CWM, i just go into stock recovery. any ideas as to why?
Try reflashing it with rom manager, then when you to reboot into recovery you will likely have to select reinstall packages at least once when you boot into your regular recovery. Until you flash a custom rom this is likely the route that you will have to take each time you boot into CWM
Odin back to stock 2.1, then root with eclair guide. Install the update package twice and the blue recovery should turn green.

Hmm odd what stock rom are you using? Ie ka5? Jk2? Etc. If you are running any stock froyo rom then as movieaddict said you will want to Odin back to 2.1 jfd which has 2e recovery instead of 3e, now I know there is a way to modify 3e recovery to make it work like 2e but iI'm not familiar with the process, search the vibrant development section and you should be able to find the mod there

if he rooted using superone click, it's good guess he's running 2.2. Also, if he can't get into CWM (except he hasn't stated it gives him a signature verification error yet), then he's also probably running a 2.2 build.
The easiest way is to use odin/heimdall.
there are 2 options in this path; odin back to 2.1 (jfd) then flash whatever rom you want from there, or odin a 2.2 voodoo kernel (which has cwm built in) and then flash whatever rom you want.
