New su.zip. Just changed updater-script and update binary to work with mount.wrapper we are using on our custom kernels. Will work from stock phone as well. Script is edify but will work with cwm2.5 as well.
Directions
Download su-2.3.6.1.x.zip and place on your sdcard.
Odin cwm if you do not have it.
Boot into cwm recovery.
Flash zip
Reboot
Profit
Fantastic and easy!

As far as I know there is no ODIN package for CWM3. I have seen instructions in other threads on how to get it through rom manager, but I am drawing a blank at which specific thread.

So I did all the above and then when I try to boot in recovery using CWM I get the below message...
-- Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
It brings me back to the blue recovery screen.

Odin cwm 3-30 fix all with battery pulled
After odin is completed insert battery and give phone three finger salute to make it cwm.
Flash su zip I provided above.

nem's post above this one is exactly correct on how to fix the problem, but in case you (or others reading this) aren't clear as to the WHY...
It's the "blue recovery screen" above. Stock recovery is blue. It requires signatures and non-test keys, and is therefore useless for us. Our standard Clockwork is red, and is what you Odin in with the 3-30 package. This is what you want, and need to put on the phone before anything else. There's also orange, which ROM Manager installs -- it's still buggy, so don't flash it.
If im not being lazy later today i'll go ahead and create an odin package for the latest CWM 3.x with voodoo options.

had the same thing happen to me,all i did was odin cwr again and it worked
If anyone wants to take the time and use the settings I changed for mounting system and create a signed zip to alleviate issues people have on stock recovery feel free to do so. If not I might get around to it Monday. I am not sure if the mount options will work on stock recovery tho so please make sure you test before hand. I suppose sometimes I think for the most part almost everyone will be using a custom kernel or cwm. Sorry that when I did the zip I didn't take into account all possible situations.
I cannot get busy box to stick. Any ideas?
Bump.

Rumor is stock rom our kernel wipes root. Stock kernel definitely wipes CWM, but there is a patched stock kernel here on XDA.
If you are desperate, you could try doing it manually?

I'm currently on stock ED03 and I was only able to get busybox to stick by using adb to push busybox to /system/xbin while in CWM 3.x. I forgot the link, but there was a download that had the rage.bin, Superuser.apk, su and busybox files with the instructions to manually root. I ignored all that.. used this Superuser zip in CWM and pushed busybox manually.
I am running stock ROM, however if I try to backup it up, It goes in recovery and say:
Installing packages...

Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed

I am running the latest version, from the market.
Thanks
if youre rooted, you should have CWM in your app. Do a nandroid backup with that, not rom manager.
I rooted manually, not with CF-root.
You need a cf-root kernel to do a backup since it gets rid of the verification check.
Thanks guys

I am having the same issue. I am rooted factory froyo 2.2. How to do a nandroid backup with CWM? Where do I find this CWM?
Thanks, NEWB
IMPORTANT:
If you flash a cf root kernel you will get CWM to use manually or via the CWM manager app (chainfire's app) BUT you wont be able to use ROM Manager.
To use ROM manager you will have to flash a kernel with an unmodified version o CWM (cf root gives a custom CWM). THat kernel would be this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
Then you will be able to use ROM manager.
Now I'm confused. What is the best way to root a SGS2?
Any one?

Flash a cf-root kernel.
Hi there,
recently got my S2 and was looking to put the Cyanogen mod on it. I found the thread to install it but when I get to "step 2, reboot your phone to get into recovery"
I get the text
ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to veriy whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any ideas whats wrong? I googled it and found...
The famous ROM Manager that is usually used to install ClockworkMod Recovery tool is not compatible with the updated Galaxy S due to new kernel Recovery 3e that needs signature verification for flashing external files.
The solution is to replace the kernel based on Recovery 2e that permits installing unverified signature files. Thanks to developer of XDA ‘Chainfire’ who has come up with working tools that lets you install ClockworkMod Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 running the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread (XXJVK) ROM.
Link to this example is: http://www.dkszone.net/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-running-android-2.3.3-gingerbread-xxjvk
Anyone know if this is the ONLY way to install CWM properly or is there another fix?
Signature related error appears when you haven't flashed the zImage of your rooted kernel via CWM. Flash it and it will disappear.
Regards.
how would I accomplish this? I flashed my ROM at the moment by using Odin tools
Your rom lite-ning rom 6.1 should have the proper cwm built in, sounds almost impossible that you're getting this error. Are you booting into cwm through rom manager? Or with Vol up+home+power?
I was trying both methods to get into CWM and got these errors everytime.
Ever since I flashed the VillanRom... whenever I reboot into ClockwordMod Recovery.. it shows me an android with an exclamation point. It then says...
ClockworldMod Recovery v4.0.0.2

Why does it say that when I didn't even try to install anything?
Why don't you try format a custom kernel with another version of CWM recovery.
Try either Ninphetamine, Siyah or Void kernels.
i just changed to the niphetamine.... thats when i got probs... im switching to the phenomenal
Do you have superuser installed? From my early days of rooting I think flashing CWM is root dependant
Sent from outer space by aliens on tapatalk using SGS2
yes. I have super user intstalled.. or I couldn't get into CMW... anyways I flashed a new kernel.... still having the same problem
I found my problem.. I wasn't doing it the 3-button method way... ;p
Meh. Can 't beef hooked.
Okey been trying to figure this out for days. I rooted my infuse with odin. So i have superuser. Now i am trying to install Clockwork recovery and cant get it to work. i am running on gingerbread.uclb3,firmware 2.3.6. I am using the rom manager and root explorer to install the recovery file into system/bin folder and its not working. I always get this....
installing package....
finding update package....
opening update package....
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole -file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I did everything step by step. One thing that was odd to me is when i placed the recovery file into the system/bin folder, there wasn't a original recovery file there. Does this mean it boots up from a different folder?
i am pretty retarted at this so plz if anybody can explain this because i see many people have problems with the same thing.
