Rooted the fascinate, trying to backup, goes into samsung backup utilty screen and starts, then it stops and the letters change from yellow to red saying that the file signature is missing and failed any help would be greatly appreciated. I did the superoneclick root method. and want to backup everything. I downloaded ROM manager and busybox, is the clockworkmod in Rom manager the same file that needs to be downloaded or is it a totaly different one all together. I am extremely new at this.
thanks
Well I'm defiantly not an expert on this but u can backup through third party Alps like titanium(sp) pro or just search Google. I'm pretty sire the signature is caused by changed files every release by sanding/Google is signed to say its by them the system checks the signature and verifies its from them and not modded, if you change the files it messes with the signature (I'm pretty sure) to use third party Rome ill need cmw recovery in the android devolpment section. I hope i helped some

You need to download the red cwm recovery and flash it through Odin. After that it will change your recovery screen to one where you can make a backup. I would link you to the thread where you can download it but I'm on my phone. You can find it in the development section though.

I am a noob and cant get into clockwork recovery. First off I have updated to Official Froyo through Kies. I rooted through superonclick, downloaded titanium, got busybox off market and then it updated through titanium. Backed up apps and system data. Downloaded Rom manager it says i have clockwork 2.5.1.2. When i click to reboot into recovery and click reinstall packages it says
"E: failed to varifywhole-file signature"
"E:signature verification failed"
Installation aborted.
Please help i am so frustrated with this froyo and want Axura rom on my phone.
What am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Yea, in the link in my previous post is where i got the idea from. After some more reading I found post that said there wasn't enough room in the system folder. It actually said to delete slacker and amazon mp3, but just deleting slacker worked for me. After that rerun the e3 recovery via computer as stated here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423). When phone restarts you may have to go to rom manager and click into reboot into recovery again (maybe twice) but then you should see the green clockwork recovery screen. Also don't forget to back up apps with titanium first
let me know it it works.
whats up ou8, i read the link you sent, but i was lost on how to run "script " am sorry am a bit of a noob on all this but am a quick learner and i been reading tons of these forums but they sometimes leave me lost cause they have alot of different ways to do these things. Do i have to download something to run Script ?
Im definatley new to this stuff also..since Thursday...but anyways...once you plug ur phone into pc, with debugging clicked, open the zip file on ur pc and follow the instructions. It will run automatically, it may not take the first time just follow the recommended option. That's what I did and it worked great. Good luck

Thank you for your posts. I had the same issue and spent hours scratching my head. Simply removing slacker finally made it possible for me to finally at least begin the installation of Bionix.
Can I just flash back some how. I'm running 3.0
Same thing happened to me when I first rooted my Fascinate. There were many conflicting guides on how to get CWR on my phone and I ended up using ROM manager which put 3.0 on.
This link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
...will get you to the "red" CWR or CWR "all" as it is called in this thread.
I used the ODIN option.
Quick and easy. Plug phone in, put phone in to download mode *yellow triangle* (NOT RECOVERY), use the PDA option in odin, select the file, send it over, wait for it all to reboot, profit.
Hope that can point you in a better direction... I am by no means a dev, just went through the same thing!
are there any working links on this site? they all lead to dropbox and are broken.
Man... someone really needs to sticky a thread in the dev section with the essential files..... update.zip .... red cwm... etc.
yes, it's a real PITA trying to keep up with where to download them, and most of the links are broken. it would be much easier to manage in one thread.
You can find one about a third of the way through this post over on Android Central.
It doesn't actually say the version, but due to the name I'm (reasonably) certain it's the one you're looking for.
thanks, but that requires odin, which requires windows

I don't think the .zip would work either in that case? (which I haven't found a working link for anyway at this point)
Edit: and I was actually trying to help the OP. (surely the percentage of Mac-only owners isn't that high )
From what I recall, the red CWM could be installed from any other version of CWM if you download it in zip format and install it from the zip file within your current version of CWM. However, I'm not sure if that trick works with 3.0, now that they dropped support for the older scripting language. If you can use Rom Manager to revert back to an old green version of CWM, you should then be able to install the red version from a zip file on your SD card.

I use linux, I've "downgraded" cwr before from orange to red with the .zip. it was the only way I could get my eb01 installed. then the damn thing "upgraded" on me again.

So don't you have the .zip saved somewhere?
Btw, I would highly recommend not using Rom Manager at all, as it does not work with the custom red version of CWM necessary rom work with the Fascinate.

Hi guys, I was trying to flash new ROM via CWM. However, cwm wasn't able to read the zip file saying something about script is not supported blah blah blah... Browsing thru xda forum, I found out that this problem has caused due to the cwm version(recently updated to cwm3.0.0.8) , or at least I want to believe it this way. So lastnight I ended up finding a thread started by jt1134 which I basically helped out lots of ppl who were struggling with similar problem as mine. But the thing is when I was trying to download the files, cwm-recovery-ALL.zip and cwm-recovery-ALL odin. The download links were broken giving me an error message. So guys, if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it pleaseeeeeeeee.
to shorten it down, the link is broken, I think. So if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it thank you..............
Hello jjalhjy
I will make this easy for the both of us!
Direct your browser to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999802
Once there scroll down to the 5th post (#5) where I linked both the page you referenced (broken links) and a link to a working download of the ".tar" file (was earlier! ).
If you need the .zip file scroll down to post 9 (#9) where I have linked it.
A quick guide to getting you flashed.
*note* I am assuming you cannot use .zip files due to the incompatible script error! This is for using odin.
1. Put phone in download mode via the power menu if on superclean. If not turn off the power, pull battery, plug into computer, hold "down" on the volume rocker till the yellow triangle "download" screen appears
2. download the ".tar" version of cwr all
3. Launch odin
4. Click the PDA button and search for the ".tar" file and select it -> then hit "ok"
5. Run the file in odin, wait for the phone to reboot.
6. put your battery back in and test recovery mode to see how it looks!
*whew*
good luck!
Wow that was a fast reply! Thank you! A quick question tho, 1. Do you know if I have to uninstall ROMmanager and delete update.zip file in my sd card before I even start flashing via using odin. 2. After following your instruction step by step, and let's say if it works. Do I still need to download ROMmanager? 3. I remember reading someone's thread in xda saying it is always necessary to flash new cwm after flashing a ROM (I always have it done using ROMmanager but now things have changed, obvisouly. So yea, how would I flash new CWM after flashing a ROM from now?
Sorry if these questions sound so newbyyyy hehe and thanks again!

It is advised (so I have read) that you should not use ROM manager with the Fascinate. While it is a powerful tool, it is just not 100% Fascinate friendly yet. Also I have never had to remove/mess with the update.zip on my SD card. Heck as far as I know you can delete it after using ODIN with the new cwr-all.

No. I would use the Development Thread here in the fascinate section for your ROMS. ROM manager is just not made for us.....yet!

I personally have never done this. To the best of my knowledge (and real life experience) cwr-all (red version) is the current and most up-to-date version (for the Fascinate). Once I ODIN-ed over the cwr-all I have not updated it once. You should be fine to flash it and flash ROMs as you please!
Dude, thanks A LOTTTTTT
I am trying to change my wifes rom on her phone and her trackball is broke. So I installed the latest version of CWM to see if it would enable and need features so I could navigate in recovery. No luck and now I can't back up her via rom manager either I just get an error. So what I am wondering is the an alternate way to work through cwm without the trackball and whats up with this error after I updated it. Thanks in advance for your help

I believe that this message implies that the download was bad (i.e., and incomplete file or a mis-matched MD5 signature).
I'm not that familiar with ClockworkMod or ROM manager, but have a peek at this thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/47399-upgrade-rom-rom-manager-problem.html since it seems to describe what you are seeing.
If you are downloading your first directly to your phone, you can check your MD5 with Astro File Manager (long-press file name, select details, and wait a little bit for the MD5 checksum to appear).
You could also try my app, AFV (Android File Verifier). It has several checksum options, including MD5 and SHA1. You can use its "Verify Jar-type File" to verify the integrity of a signed file even if you don't know the MD5 checksum.
Cheers!

Yeah, sorry...I wasn't exactly sure...
I know that ClockworkMod lets you navigate its menus without using the trackball, but most rooted folks use Amon_RA's custom recovery.
A while back, I created a trackball-optional version of Amon_RA's recovery for the Eris. Here's the thread I created over on AF re. this:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
Here's the post in RA's thread over here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9124095&postcount=83
Hope this helps!

Not sure if this helps but I had the same problem when I flashed my friend fascinate. But they use odin to flash their clockwork (voodoo) I had to run the root script then install the rom to fix the update.zip. Any ideas?

lol...sorry, no. I've only heard that Odin (timely Thor-related reference, eh? ) is used for the Samsung phones.
There are others around that know and have used ClockworkMod on the Eris, but they are relatively few and far between (plus, things certainly seem to be slowing down in the various Eris forums recently). There have also been some unexplained brickings of phones using CWM that have scared off potential users of that custom recovery, so most have stayed with and use Amon_RA's.

Yes, at the bottom of the first post in the AF forum thread are the installation instructions and one of them is how to do it with adb ("Scenario 4").

You are most welcome! Glad you got things going .
I keep getting these warm-and-fuzzies from folks that my efforts for building the trackball-optional recovery was well worth it (with kudos and thanks again to RA for his help in filling-in the key gaps in how to build it).

My trackball has not worked pretty much since I bought the phone. I have found is you plug in your usb charger and lift up firmly the trackball works with no issues at all. Just FYI. And here's to the dev's that keep our end of life eris fast and up to date. And no sense thank GOD. lol
Yep, that is a definite way to work it ... I was unable to ROOT for over 2 months after getting my Eris b/c my trackball didn't work. It wasn't until I found this advice over in DF that I was finally able to negotiate the recovery menu.
HOWEVER (!!!) After almost a year of moderate flashing/recovery use, my USB/AC charger barely works anymore. I have to put weight on the USB near the connec w/ the phone to get it to recognize & charge.
I have tried to install the Amon_ra trkball not req script but couldn't get it to work ... I just use CWM these days b/c I don't need to use the damn thing !
Good thing I am coming up for an UPGRADE

so I rooted my phone via superoneclick 1.9 then loaded up latest version of clockworkmod and I gave it superuser permission and flashed the recovery but when i go to boot into recovery and push the reinstall package button instead of loading into clockwork like its supposed to it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature, E:signature verification failed installation aborted." and wont let me go into clockwork. Im sorry if this has been answered i tried searching but could'nt find anything addressing this specific problem, thanks in advance and im sure someone will post a link to a posting i missed answering this problem lol again i apolagise if this has been answered already i couldnt find it.

Hey, appreciate the kind words. The update.zip I have posted is NOT CWR... it is just a zip to give root. If a person didn't have CWR prior on their phone they would need that to root, then go to the market and grab Rom Manager to flash CWR. Most have CWR/RM so they do not need the update.zip I included.
Maybe I need to make that more clearer in the guide? Thoughts?
Maybe.
I have a Galaxy S I9000 and I've done a few things with it (root, flash ROMs etc.), but the Vibrant was SO different. But I thought that the update.zip included was the CWM one.
Anyway, I'm done with it, but still can't make it work with my european SIM card
