If you made your older backups with AmonRA recovery you won't be able to use them in CWM recovery. You will have to flash AmonRA to use them. That is pretty simple, thanks to ciaox who shared flashable recovery zips here.

just now don't have
so i root my phone again,and its work already
but after i flash clockworkMod recovery,and reboot into recovery
then i use the guide that u last time teach me at my thread
22VIN said:
1. root your phone
2. install a custom recovery (the easiest way is to install ROM Manager from Market and select "flash cwm recovery"
3. download a custom kernel (I'm using franco's) and copy it on your sdcard
4. boot into custom recovery: turn off your phone and then press vol down + home + power and release at lg logo
5. make a nand backup
6. wipe dalvik cache (in cwm recovery it's in advanced menu)
7. select install zip from sdcard, select your kernel from the sdcard and flash it.
8. start your phone and install setcpu; use max 729mhz
That's it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so after finish flash franco kernel
i choose reboot,then my phone stuck at LG logo
i wait very long,then unplug the battery and put it back
and turn on phone as usual,same also stuck at there
i do it a lot times
so i give up,and do a Nand restore,but its also stuck at LG logo ==
then the only way is i go emergency mode and use kdz updater to flash back
luckily my phone no problem
so now got other way to flash custom recovery instead using rom manager ??
because i google it quite a lot people also got the same case as me,stuck at LG logo after reboot ~

Well I also got stuck at lg logo on some occasions when flashing kernels/themes, it happens. But I can't understand why you got stuck after restoring backup.
When did you make your backup? Did you make a backup before flashing stuff on your ROM?
And what do you mean by "got stuck"? Sometimes it takes longer to boot after you flash something. How much did you wait to consider that your phone is stuck?
To install a custom recovery the classic way check out step 3 here.
By the way, your problems aren't related to the recovery's installation. You're saying you rebooted into recovery, so the instalation of CWM with ROMmanager was succesful.

Hey guys. I keep getting this ridiculously annoying error when trying to either install 'Cyanogen' or even 'Cyanogen Nightie' as well as just boot into Recovery Mode.
I open Rom Manager (Premium).
I have installed Clockwork Recovery Mod (Version 4.0.1.5)
I click 'Reboot Into Recovery'
The phone reboots.
But when booting into recovery mode I get this error:
Android system recovery <3e>
Enter: OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset

This is really annoying the hell out of me. Rom Manager is the most expensive app I have ever purchased and I can't even install Cyanogen... I've spent all night trying to find a way around this. I'm not your average noob with such things either, usually I can find a way around an issue myself. This however, has just got me entirely stumped..
I've even tried rebooting by pressing:
Volume UP (NOT DOWN)
Home
Power
and THEN trying to install from .zip (update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS2-signed.zip)
I get the same error. No matter what I try.
Please don't tell me to boot into CWM first and then do any of this. I CAN'T EVEN BOOT INTO CWM.
I am really frustrated over this, I need a cold beer and a maybe even a cone. I've done everything I can to figure this out.
I am running:
Samsung Galaxy S 2 (Rooted) [GT-I9100]
Android Version:
2.3.4
Baseband Version:
I9100XXKi1
Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468
[email protected] #2
Build Number:
Gingerbread.XWKi4
I have installed CWM through Rom Manager... as I stated. I can't boot into it either by selecting the option (as before stated) or when I select 'Install from SD Card' then choose the .zip (which I named above in bold)
Same error, all the time. I have absolutely NO idea what to do. I also can't 'disable verification' because I can't even get into Clockwork Recovery... so frankly none of this works.
Does anyone have a PROPER way to get around this without already having a way into Clockwork Recovery or anything. Because frankly I can't even get into recovery to install Cyanogen..
Please help me out, I'm about to put my SGS2 in the toaster -.-
Before you ask I've read every other thread here and in other forums on the internet with other people having the same problem. All of them are outdated and 95% of them are for people who already have at least some version of CWM installed and they can boot into it.
Flash the zImage of your Root kernel via CWM with option Flash Kernel. Before that I hope you know you need to flash the Stock Kernel (Kernel of your current ROM, i.e KI4 I believ) via Odin.
After doing that READ THIS,
Q: How do I install this?
A:
Latest version: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2 (for when nightlies are working normally)
Check the md5sum if you want to be sure that the download worked (different OSes have different programs that do md5, on ubuntu it is md5sum that you run against the zip you download and compare to the md5sum number shown on the download website). ROMManager does this automatically for ROMs you download via ROMManager.
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM)?
Only for the International version of the Galaxy S2, US versions like the AT&T have their own device specific builds.
Note: sometimes you need to flash twice back to back without a reboot in the middle. The install should take a little time, if it happens very quickly, flash again.
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

I've solved some hours ago:
flash again the CF-Root for your firmware via Mobile Odin, DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER, then via the app called CWM(CF-Root install this),click reboot recovery and then flash the rom you want to install via CWM(You should put the zip file in the /sdcard folder)
its not cwn recovery screen
Did anyone noticed in screeshot, its not CWM recovery screen but android system recovery e3.
ok i am very new to this too. but i am having same problem of signature verification, and daa i then noticed i was imnot in.cwm recovery. some how i am unable to get cwm recovery screen.
After spending two whole days trying to flash my Galaxy S2 with MIUI 2.1.6 (also tried the latest Cyanogenmod and DarkyROM) and with nothing to show for it, it's time to ask for help.
My main goal is to install MIUI 2.1.6. The starting point is stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 (XXKI3). This is what I did:
- flashed stock 2.3.5 (XXKI3) via Odin
- rooted XXKI3 with CF-Root
- copied MIUI 2.1.6 on SD card (the zip file)
After that comes the part where I have to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and that's where the troubles start. My phone comes with 3e recovery which gives me the "failed to verify whole file signature" error after I try to flash CWM via the ROM Manager.
After browsing XDA forums, a lot of reading and trying both methods of overriding that bloody signature check (Untermensch's script method and Existenz's method of placing the Recovery file in /system/bin), none of them worked for me.
Untermensch's script method starts doing its thing but at one point it gives me an error message and suggests that my phone isn't rooted (which it definitely is, as I'm able to use Superuser, Root Explorer, AdBlock and every other root-only app).
Existenz's method of manually putting the Recovery file in /system/bin swaps the 3e recovery with CWM (orange letters, if I recall correctly), but after doing all the neccessary wipes and installing MIUI (or Cyanogenmod) from a zip file on my SD card, all I get is a boot loop. DarkyROM won't install at all, it simply gives me an error at the very beginning of the installation process.
At this moment I'm running stock Gingerbread 2.3.5, rooted by CF-Root and flashed with SpeedMod kernel. When I try to enter recovery, I'm getting CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3 (blue letters). However, if I try to wipe the phone and install MIUI from zip, all I get is another boot loop. And I'm back on 3e recovery.
Perhaps it's also worth mentioning my 3e recovery menu has no "reinstall packages" option which was mentioned in several threads on this forum that were vaguely related to my issue.
Anything I'm missing? Any ideas at all?
Thanks in advance and kind regards!

Try the MIUI forums for support.
1) Flash CF-root
2) Copy the Miui zip into the sdcard
3) flash the Miui zip twice
4) reboot into CWM recovery
5) Flash the miui zip again
6) wipe cache/data
7) reboot into miui

The thing is, I'd ultimately like to be able to install any custom ROM, not just MIUI. So far none of them worked (MIUI, Cyanogenmod, DarkyROM), I'm guessing due to that nasty 3e recovery (nothing else comes to mind)

Nope, that didn't work. After flashing with MIUI twice via CWM and powering the phone off, I'm unable to enter recovery to flash MIUI for the third time, as the phone goes into boot loop.
Any other ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance!
Your not using rom manager are you?
Maybe its a bad miui download, where did you get the zip from?
Nope, I'm flashing the zip via CWM recovery, so after turning the phone off and doing the three-key thingy. I got the MIUI zip from MIUIAndroid.com and downloaded it three times, just to be sure there's not an issue with the zip.

Maybe you could try galnet miui?
Have you tried flashing other custom roms, eg hyperdroid or checkrom?
I did try to flash CyanogenMod (ended up with a boot loop, just like MIUI), as well as DarkyROM (got an error shorty after the start of the installation, can't remember what it was anymore). Seems my SGS2 simply isn't up for anything but stock ROMs. Bastard.

CM7 does need doubleflashing, so when you go into CWM double flash the zip before wiping/rebooting.
And what was the error on the stock rom? Have you tried others.
Try this.
Its the resurrection edition of darkyrom. Its something to fall back on when other roms failI, it completely repartions your phone and should replace 3e with CWM and you'll have a nice darky custom rom
Make sure you follow the instruction to the letter

Just tried to doubleflash CM7 and then do the wipe. Ended up in yet another boot loop (and unable to get into recovery). Then I restored the stock 2.3.5, rooted with CF-Root and tried to flash DarkyROM (via CWM recovery, of course). This is the message that it gives me:

Let us.know how you go with the darkyrom HD resurrection.. darkyrom HD is for galaxy s 2 just in case you wanted to update in future and so you don't get confused
Feeling like a bit of a dumbass right about now. And just when I thought I tripple checked everything... Okay, that explains the DarkyROM issue, however still no clue what's wrong with MIUI and/or CM7. I'm sure I downloaded correct versions of those
I'm downloading the ROM from your link at this very moment, trying it shortly.

All good. Its not hard to get mixed up. I remember how overwhelming it was when I first started learning to flash
Bit scary for a while til I learnt more and understood things better
Hmm I'm not to sure about the miui issue or cm7
Never used them, except for cm9 cause I like the aosp ICS..
Let us know how darkyrom HD goes for ya
Well, that worked. Had to flash twice to get it to work, though (got stuck on step #14 for 10 scary minutes and then just turned the phone off an reflashed)
I'll give DarkyROM a go. I do have one more question though. If I decide to try to flash MIUI once again, would it be enough to boot into CWM recovery and try to install it from zip (so, without doing anything to my DarkyROM installation) or do I have to go back to stock ROM for that?
Thanks a ton for your help guys, my SGS2 can run custom ROMs after all! Horray!
Hi, so i need some help regarding an issue i'm currently facing ( and have been facing for about a month now).
I'll give you the full story of my device and what i did:
First, when i got the phone. First thing i did was unlock bootloader and install custom recovery + rom (sultanXDA rom)
Then, when the android 7.1 ROMs started coming out, i installed one of those, worked great.
After a while i got bored, and decided to actually try the stock ROM, so i used a tool which took the phone back to 100% stock.
After this, i wanted to install a custom recovery so i could root and install xposed, i unlocked bootloader and tried installing THIS recovery.
It seems to install just fine via fastboot, but when try to go into the recovery, it tries to boot into it, then it just boots into the system instead. And after this, i have no recovery at all. I tried going back to stock again (which also got me the recovery back). But once again, when i try to install the recovery it doesnt work.
Anyone got any idea why this is?
Any help would be appreciated

That recovery is only for Oxygen OS 3.1.3 and ROMs based on it.
I take it you flashed Oxygen OS 2.x that's why it didn't boot.

I tried different Recoveries too, (i know i tried both Sultan and Blu Spark's Recoveries). I tried all i could find on Android Development page.
The issue does seem very weird, i dont know where i messed up in the process. It seems like when i try to install the new recovery, it does replace the old one but never boots.

What recovery did you use to install 3.1.3? I think it has to be old stock recovery from 2.X.X or won't work. When I used the new stock recovery from 3.x.x had issues myself.

I used the stock rom to install 3.1.3 from 2.x.x (don't remember exactly which version i was on). Anyways, the issue right now is the fact that i cannot install any custom recoveries.

Hi, this is what it shows me on install. After installing when i try to go into the recovery it stays on the oneplus logo :/
Okay so this is weird.
After installing adb drivers on my work pc (im currently at work) and flashing, it for some reason works!

For anyone facing the same issue: Try using a different pc with different adb and fastboot drivers, dont know why it worked for me, but it did!

So I've successfully rooted my phone (S6 Edge G925F) using CF-Auto-Root and I've been using it for the past few days. Looking to install a custom ROM, but I can't get TWRP to work without getting "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". If I try to use it through the app, I get a bootloop. If I do it with SkipSoft Android Toolkit, it boots fine but I can't get into the recovery menu. Same error as above.
I feel like I'm missing something really simple here... But I can't quite put my finger on it. I feel like it has something to do with unlocking the bootloader, but I can't seem to find any guides on it. The one I did find had a dead link to a download, and 20+ minutes of searching for a replacement left me with nothing.
Losing my mind here...

There are 2 easy ways to get twrp to work.
Flash twrp through odin in AP.
https://dl.twrp.me/zerolte/
You need the .img.tar
Or
Download flashify
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
From flashify it gives you the option to download and flash twrp directly from the app.

Can't exactly ignore it, it's all I get when booting into the recovery menu after installing twrp.

Can the phone boot up?
Can you boot to recovery?
Flash a permissive kernel and the message will dissapear.. You can flash custom roms from flashify or flash fire also

It boots into android, but not the recovery menu.
If I install through the twrp app, it won't even boot to android, it just gets stuck in a bootloop

I cant see the screen shot? I would suggest start from scratch. Do a full wipe/ stock flash.
Flash twrp first then cf auto root.
Aaaand now I feel like a complete moron. Went to unroot my phone through SuperSU, it finished doing its thing, I rebooted my phone, and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. Every damn link I find to a stock ROM has a pathetic download speed, so I'm now having to wait 6 hours for something that may or may not work. Beginning to regret rooting my phone.

Aslong as you have the correct stock firmware it should work. And if it works save the firmware somewhere safe. Then if you ever mess up again just needs a re flash.
Flashed stock ROM, phone working again. Tried to flash TWRP, but still getting recovery is not seandroid enforcing and nothing else.

Try to root first, then flash twrp. My note 4 did the same the other day after flashing stock ROM mm update. So I did full wipe, flashed cf auto root then twrp. Works fine
Hello, so I unlocked the bootloader and I installed a rom but when I want to configure it, the phone restarted and only lasts 10 seconds on and restarts back.
This problem happens with every android I want to install.
It isn't a hardware problem because I buy it few days ago

The phone went into bootloop because I was trying to install miui 9 with the "dualboot patcher" program and the phone did not start any operating system, I made a wipe and wanted to install another rom, but when I tried to install it, problems with bootloop started .
I tried with everything and I can not make it work, it's infinite bootloop, when I install the stock rom through miflash it installs successfully but when I start it restarts while loading android about two / three times and then loads android and after about ten seconds of having loaded it restarts and that's how it is always
Yes,I flash Miui, Resurrection Remix, Nitrogen Os, Lineage Os (13, 14.5), Paranoid Android, Slim and a few more, and I've tried many firmwares but nothing, I can not get it out of the bootloop.
Help pls

I guess the problem is with the partitions which dual boot makes, please ask this on the official dual boot patcher thread, you will get a better answer there.

Having some experience from dual booting with my previous device, I guess somehow you messed up your kernel and partitions. I would suggest to make a fresh start, meaning that you flash twrp recovery, boot into recovery and make a factory reset, and then flash a kernel image according to the rom that you want to install, then install the rom and try boot again. If you flash original miui rom make sure you flash lazyflasher or rom will not boot.

I can't see any error in the above screenshots. Is your device still not booting?
Try this: extract boot.img from rr rom and flash it through twrp by selecting install -> image -> boot.img -> and select boot
This should flash rr kernel in case your kernel is messed up and so rom can't boot. Reflash rom and see if that works.

So I have to flash boot img and then flash the zip with the rom?

Yes, try that in order to restore your rom's kernel and then flash rom as normal. Be sure to flash boot.img as "boot" and not recovery after selecting image
Damn it didn't work
I'm going to take a video with the error

You get an error while flashing or your device just can't boot?
Also, have you tried flashing any official miui rom?

I don't get any error, just when I turn on the phone it enters in an infinite bootloop.
Yes, I've tried with a lot of official roms and the same result.

I just saw the video you uploaded. If this happens with any kernel/rom combination then i think your device might be faulty. Have you tried another kernel? Does the same happen with stock kernel and rom? Have you tried flashing stock rom from pc with mi flash tool?

I tried everything and it's the same, I don't think that the phone is faulty because I bought it a few days ago and it worked well.

Well maybe you should try another kernel compatible with this rom or another rom/kernel combination. Also, flashing baseband firmware might also help.
How I do that?
