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!
Stellar! Thank you Nemesis, very handy to have atm.

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.

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?

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.

Long time follower (since my G1), first time poster (I think )
My question is simple, is anyone working on or is there already an update.zip or similar one-click root for the official froyo.uvka6 that was released via Tmob/Kies?
I have searched and searched but most results take me to links for rooting 2.1 and upgrading to 2.2. but no root for the official 2.2.
Am I being impatient, have I not searched properly, has someone else already posted this question somewhere else?
Flame away, I don't care, but please answer my question or point me in the right direction if you can.
Thanks!

You need to toggle signature when you are in recovery before clicking update.zip. it happened to me also and that's all I did and it worked.

Could you please explain more. I no longer have CWM Recovery, just the stock 3e recovery, and am unable to locate any options to "toggle signature". Am I missing something there?
The STOCK 3e recovery from odin files DOES NOT ALLOW update.zip files, no matter what you do!
To get clockworkmod running, you either need one of the voodoo kernels (which you can only flash through odin/hiemdall, because if this recovery issue) or you need root (the onlyone that works with these releases is SuperOneClick) to mount system as rw and push a modded 3e recovery (this part is found in many roms right now).
The easiest is to flash a voodoo kernel using odin, then boot recovery and flash away.

Thanks for the SuperOneClick worked great.
Enable usb debugging.
Launch the app and follow any directions that appear. Was super easy.
Yes, if it's the same as Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root, you install the One Click Root, plug your phone in and you have two options "One Click Root" and "One Click Unroot".
Fairly straight foreward. I was surprised how easy it was when I rooted my phone lol
Hope this helps!

I was able to root as well using this method, however, once i am in I install clockwork recovery. Then I try to install a rom using rom manager and it only reboots into recovery 3e not clockwork. How can i make sure I get into clockwork to install from zip?

Download the One click root
Unzip it
Open the executable. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode connected to your PC.
Let it do its magic.
I had a problem with the root when I used titanium backup. It kept telling me I wasn't rooted. When I opened titanium backup and it gave me the error message, I clicked on the "problems" button and allowed it to download busybox. VIOALA! I now have access to all my back ups and am rooted.

This is happening to me, too. Also, when I tried to boot to recovery using the volume key method, it went straight to the android with exclamation point screen, wouldn't even allow me to try to reinstall packages. Booting into recovery from Rom Manager works but I get these errors when I try to reinstall packages.
I also tried to run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager and get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" despite that I do have root access.
I was trying to flash a cwr and a new rom. I did the manual boot by holding the up and down volumes while powering on the device. I try to run update.zip and an error.
Im in "Android system recovery <2e>"
and I get :
#manual mode#
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

What do I do to fix this issue?? Any help would be great
IIRC when I had that happen I had to Odin the cwm then run update.zip

ive never used odin...kinda new to this stuff. just trying to get a good froyo rom with voodoo lagfix... but ya im not certain of how to load this stuff
Doesnt seem like you installed CWM properly. Check the sticky threads in the general section as they do have guides to install it.
Also use the general or Q/A section for questions.
If all you want is voodoo'd froyo, and you have managed to bjork your phone... Just search this forum for teeharding's eb01 odin post. It links to another thread with odin tar for superclean with instructions. Just deRAR with 7zip, flash, and done.
You will need to get odin running either way at this point, so you might as well choose the easiest route.

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.

thank you too much i did not know that i should hit the back button, i was hitting the volume up button and i was going to CWM recover.
by the way i installed CWM 5 via flashtool, but it seems it is useless.

cwm 5 is not useless,the thing is that you are trying to install a rom based on old scripting(amend) to new cwm so you were getting error coz for cwm 5 you need to flash a rom with edify script..
