My dad has a fascinate, rooted. I used ODIN to flash Clockwork, it's successful but when I go to boot into recovery I get Manual Mode. I go to 'apply update.zip' and i get an error saying 'signature verification failed' or something of the sorts.
What Do?
Did you install an alternate kernel before rebooting into the OS? If not, the stock kernel will remove CWM.
No, do I install the alternate kernel in Manual mode? or in ODIN?
It's been a while since I did it, but I believe you do it in CWM. This thread discusses it to some degree.
Hope this helps ...
First, put your kernel on your SD card. Second, Odin CWM. Third, boot directly into Recovery (hold volume up, down and power until you get the Samsung screen). Fourth, choose zip from SD card, find the kernel you downloaded, install it. Fifth, reboot. Sixth, profit

My Fascinate started hard locking after installing Voodoo. I decided to go back to stock. I forgot to disable Voodoo before doing so. Now my internal storage is showing no available space. Because of this, I cannot get into CWM to re-flash my device. Another annoying issue is each time I reboot the phone, I have to navigate the setup screen. I hope you can help. Thanks.
Does anything {FIXED} 0.00 internal storage problem help?
I did the EXACT same thing for the same reasons and am having the same results. HELP
happened to me..
download this and place this into your SDCARD (voodoo_uninstaller 1.4)
you should be able to get into CWM. just hold down power button and up and down volume button then let go.. it you lead you to the stock recovery and just scrow down to apply update.zip.. that should get you into CWM and choose to install zip from sdcard and choose the uninstaller. once you got that, voodoo should be completely off your phone. then just flash Jt's super clean DI01 .
The phone will only boot into the stock recovery. When I try to install the update.zip file, I get an error.
Can I delete the Voodoo folder and, or wipe the sdcard?
Tried to flash TW4.1 Voodoo and I can't get Clockwork recovery to function. It always fails with this error.
Where can I get a recovery update zip to allow me to flash?
I'm coming from the leaked JL5 Froyo (stock) and I want to go to 4.1
It says I have 3e recovery and from my searching, I find that it seems I need an update zip for an older recovery to allow me to flash. Is that correct?
Which file should I use and how do use it?
Edit::
Is it THIS? Can I use this with Froyo, since it doesn't flash the Kernel?

Thanks for any and all help.
The stock 3e recovery has issues with verifying the checksums of the zip files.
ODIN is your best option.
So I need to:
1. Odin to 2.1 using pit file and Stock 2.1 eclair tar
2. Reinstall ROM Manager and CW recovery?
3. Flash the ROM?
you can turn signature verification off in clockwork recovery. i don't remember exactly where the setting is, but it's not hard to find.
edit: install zip from sdcard->toggle signature verification

I wish I could get there, but my only menu options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd card
I can't do anything else. I see Install ROM from SD Card in the application, but that's it. It seems that I'm in the Android standard 3e recovery rather than the CWMOD.
Is it possible, or do I have to go all the way back to 2.1 via Odin, reinstall CWMOD, etc. etc.?
Follow the instructions located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164 if you have root. If you do not its a tad more explanation and difficult.
You can use one click root to root your JL5 easily.
Won't that Kernel brick me, since I'm coming from 2.2 and it's a 2.1 kernel?
I am totally unable to get into CWMOD recovery. Only the stock recovery is working.
The instructions are to ODIN this kernel and:
Download ROM Manager from the Market. (Done)
Flash Recovery. (Done)
Choose Vibrant as your phone. (Done)
Accept the Superuser prompt. (Done)
On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. (It doesn't start...ever and I've done it about 25 times now)
You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.''
Watch the backup go! (I wish)
I'm drawing a blank on what TW4.1 is. Do you mean Nero?

I have been trying this for about an hour, but I can't get into CWMOD recovery. I can only get into stock. Which update zip file needs to be on my SD?

Yes, sorry. Nero's TouchWiz 4.1
Still can't get out of stock recovery and into ClockworkMod recovery.
when you install rom manager (the app from the market), you can install clockwork recovery through it. when you install clockwork recovery it puts an 'update.zip' on your internal memory. hitting 'reinstall packages' from stock recovery then reinstalls clockwork. so by reinstalling clockwork through rom manager, it makes sure you have the right update.zip and thus making it able to boot into clockwork recovery. so try uninstalling rom manager, reinstalling, and reinstalling clockwork.

Did all of the above. Reinstall packages still fails as described. Only stock recovery works. CWMOD doesn't.
Ok You have to root (try superoneclick v1.5.5)
After that you have to look for the thred to convert 3e recovery into 2e

I'm already rooted. I just don't know how to use those files you referenced. Do I manually replace the update.zip file with one of these?
I've got to replace the update.zip with this, but which one?
mod_jk6_recovery.zip (1.06 MB)
update.zip (897.5 KB)
It seems I need to rename the "mod_jk6_recovery.zip" to "recovery" and replace my current recovery move it from /sdcard to /system/bin
Is that corrrect?
Need to UNDO SGS Tools
I've tried all this and nothing works. I installed SGS Tools and used the Contacts mod. Unfortunately, It force closes my contacts now before I can even see them. I don't know how to undo this action. I'd like to reinstall 2.2 but, Kies won't let me. Where/How can I convert back to Eclair to wipe whatever SGS Tools has done to my phone?
i looked at the main how to root and clockwork one, so pl no links but a freindly noob guide, thanks
Easiest way is to download ROM Manager from the market if you already have root.
From ROM manager, hit 'flash clockwork recovery' and then all should be gravy.
Reboot into recovery via the power menu (if the option exists) or by the hardware buttons (hold the vol up/down buttons while powering on)
From there, if you boot into a recovery that's not CWM, then hit reinstall packages and reboot. You should get there.
Good luck
it says failed to verify whole file signature installation aborted
check the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11571093#post11571093
having a hell of a time with the same issue.... I have a Vibrant Galaxy S updated to froyo KA6 using kies. I've endlessly searched and read forum posts and i gather that the froyo has issues with not allowing clockworkmod recovery because of problems with signature check(?). Tried the 3eRecovery installer which is supposed to fix it, but the only difference is when I flash recovery from CWM and reboot to recovery and reinstall files, it no longer gives me an error message, but reboots back to stock recovery.
So far, this is what i've done:
Upgraded to 2.2 with keis mini
rooted with oneclickroot
downloaded rom manager in the market
flash clockworkmod recovery
reboot into recovery, reinstall files (gives error message)
used 3e_recovery_installer
(supposed to fix the issue, no longer get error, but still stock recovery)
Is it really this difficult or did i miss something somewhere? Thanks for any help...

follow that guide it will take u less then 10 min to go back to stock eclair with odin and flash it recovery from download mode and u will be rooted. its so easy that i do it before each rom as its very pain free and fast and it gives me a clean fresh install.
GOOD LUCK
I keep trying to get in, but I'm always getting sent to the stock recovery... this is what i'm doing
first I installed root access... Update.zip is in the internal memory (if i put it on the SD card, when I click reinstall it says file isn't found . . . ?), Update.zip is still there (not sure if I was supposed to remove it)
1. Open Rommanager
2. Clck Flash Recovery ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Pick Vibrant (MTD)
4. Pick ClockworkMod 2.x
5. Click Reboot into Recovery
when I do this it brings me to the stock recovery, tried about 3-4 times now with no success
Question: Are you on the stock rom?
If so, you can select "Galaxy S Vibrant" in Rom Manager to flash CWM, then reboot to recovery. The MTD one I believe is for 2.3 roms that can't boot into CWM via 3 button combo.
first off u have root correct? u have to install packages twice first. Then u will end up in green recovery. Then from green recovery flash any rom. But if ur trying to flash cm, u wanna pick 3x not 2x.
Ur update package could be corrupt, get a new one.
nevermind, i figured it out, i just simply rooted it with CWM manually instead
I have a rooted TMo Vibrant running 2.1. I want to install a custom ROM and have the paid version of ROM mgr installed. I have downloaded the new ROM and I also have a (separate) zip of a different ROM on the SD card. The beginning steps of the installation go smoothly. But when I get to the point where ROM mgr says "Do you want to go into recovery mode to continue installation?" and I Select YES, the phone reboots into NORMAL mode and the installation ends. Same thing happens if I try to install manually from the SD card. I scroll down and select "install zip ...". Then the next screen that pops up has "reboot", " delete data", "reinstall packages", etc . I have tried all those options. But ultimately I end up back at the point where the only option I haven't chosen is "reboot system now". When I select reboot, the phone reboots in normal mode again. What am I doing wrong?
Not sure if this is your problem, but sounds like you need clockwork mod recovery update.zip on your phone.
Here is the trick though, when you get into normal recovery, sometimes you have to apply the cwm recovery update.zip TWICE to get into cwm recovery.
Boot up phone into stock recovery
apply the cwm recovery update.zip
phone reboots into stock recovery again
apply the cwm recovery update.zip again.
Hope that helps.
I would suggest doing this.
First and foremost make a nandroid backup, you can use cwm to do this. place a copy of the backup on your computer.
Backup your /efs folder which contains your nv_data.bin and imei information. You loose this you are f*cked.
Get the cwm recovery update.zip and put it on your internal sd root. If you have multiple update.zip files, just delete them all, just make sure the cwm recovery update.zip is there.
Also place the zip file of the rom onto your internal sd root also.
Disable voodoo lagfix if you have that installed.
Odin back to stock jfd 2.1. When finished next..
Apply cwm recovery update, apply TWICE to get into cwm recovery.
Then you can go into cwm recovery and select the zip of the rom you want to flash.
Follow all install directions of the ROM developer, they may want you to be on 2.2 first, which would mean odin to stock jfd 2.1, flash stock 2.2, then install whatever rom you are trying to.
That is how I do it.
I have a question about Clockwork recovery and this phone. Above you say that if any .zips are on internal sd to delete them and leave CWR on there only. I have this. Then if we want to go into the CWR we have to apply the update.zip twice. I do this also. Why can't we just replace the stock recovery with the Clockwork one and bypass the having to reinstall the packages twice. Maybe an sh init_hijack or something like that. I have been trying to find where the stock recovery "lives" to no avail. If you know where it is, then I can work on this and post the results.
Seems reasonable that if we replace the stock files with the CWR files and hijack the rocvery at boot it should work to boot right into CWR directly.

Well with MiUi and CM it goes directly into clockwork mod recovery. I guess that's the stock recovery on MiUi and CM.
For me, only on 2.1 and 2.2 roms did I have to apply cwm recovery.zip twice.

I have not used either for this phone but have with other phones and I think that it is b/c they reworked the services and framework.jars into an expanded power menu. I will see it that hack works on this one, so it will be easier on 2.1 and 2.2 for "relative" noobs. I have done it once for another phone and then my computer crashed (not issue related). I'll let you know what I find out this weekend b/c it'll take some time to get the pathways correct.
I appreciate you quick replies and have taken the first part of the advice and tried to backup everything (Which I thought I did using CWM). Just to be safe I have now installed Root Explorer and will back up everything this evening. Can't do more right now. Need to get back to work. Wayne
That did it. I now have my new ROM installed and a back-up of my efs file (which I mistakenly thought was included in my Nandroid back-up). BTW my nandroid, back-up produced by CWM doesn't include a boot image (or at least there is no image called "boot"). I thought there should be a boot image. In any case, I'm finally over the problem I've been trying for days to overcome. Thanks sooooo much. Wayne
