It seems CF-Root v4.1 is the bees-knees when it comes to rooting the Galaxy S II, but unfortunately it is not ROM Manager compatible.
Is there an up to date method to root the SGSII that works with Rom Manager? I found this link: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ng-odin-and-superoneclick-step-by-step-guide/ but I suspect there may be a newer method.
Here are my phone details, just in case:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE7
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555
bump......
Why don't you just install ROM Manager, then download latest clockwork recovery using ROM Manager?
It will then be ROM Manager compatible.
Because I need to attain root before I can flash clockworkmod. ROM Manager says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
I'm on the original galaxy and the easiest way I've found to root is to use odin or hemindall to flash a kernel with cwm. It roots and gives cwm in one action. Also theres a new super one click that I've had success with on many different brands of phones, hts, lg, moto

What I meant is, why don't you just flash CF-Kernel, then install ROM manager, then use that to install clockwork recovery.
There is a confusion that rom manager is not compatible with the kernel. That part is not true, rom manager is not compatible with the clockwork recovery that is supplied by the kernel, you just use the clockwork recovery that can be installed with rom manager. The cwm app is not compatible with the recovery installed by rom manager.
Flash codeworkx kernel, root it, and run rom manager to your hearts content.
I'm having this issue too.
I've spent most of the day trying different things.
Regardless of how I root, and what rom and kernel provides the base when I try and update cwm through rom manager then try and reboot into recovery through rom manager I get the failed to verify error.
I've rooted with the chainfire root, with codeworx kernal and then superone click, and it's made no difference.
I've also tried it from rooted stock firmwares, and custom roms.
Still cannot boot into recovery from rom manager.
I've also noticed that despite rom manager saying that I'm using the latest version, when I manually boot into cwm it shows the previous version.
edit: I even went back to stock and rooted using link in first post, then installed rom manager but same error.
Keeps going to 3e system recovery
God it's annoying
Further googling has led me to believe the issue is rom managers not being compatible with 3e recovery.
Apparently we need to have 2e recovery.
Any way to get that?
edit: Or can we disable signature verification in cwm?
re-edit: Well I found this in the cf root thread which will explain why I will never get rom manager to work
CF-Root includes a custom version of CWM4. I always make custom versions, as the originals often do not take some Samsung specific things into account.
CF-Root/CWM4 is NOT compatible with ROM Manager! Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly or using the CWM Manager application included with CF-Root
Where is the standard version then?

Codeworx said himself that his kernel won't work with rom manager.
If anyone is able to install roms through rom manager I'd like to know what rom, kernal, and how they rooted.

Haven't read that thread but i thought that was the whole point of his kernel, oh well.
Well I finally found a fix.
This time I can boot into recovery from rom manager.
No more failed to verify errors
What you need is this version of clockwork recovery

Flash it with odin, then use superoneclick version 1.95.
Hi guys
so after some days of trolling the forums looking for an answer i am finally creating a thread.
I rooted my galaxy s2 using oneclick than i wanted to install CWM.
couldnt do it from rom manager so i flashed Cf-root.
chainfire says that rom manager is not compatible with CWM yet cynagen mod7 for galaxy s2 says you can install the ROM from rom manager premium.
Than there is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
where people who have flashed the kernal say that some of them could use rom manager
so can you use Rom manager if you have flashed a CWM kernal other than CF-Root?
it didnt work for me using rom manger + chainfire's kernel + flashing back stock kernel
after installing cm with rom manger i only got into android recovery which gave me "signature something failure"
i reflashed chainfire kernel (dunno if that helped)
used cwm to flash cyanogen
profit
how is cynagen doing for you so far?

can you guys use rom manager?

Download the cm7 nightly zip, put it in your internal sd card, flash codeworx's kernel, flash the cm7 zip from the recovery, flash it under install zip from sd card, if the sig verification fails you may have a bad download.
If you get stuck at the boot screen flash the zip twice

yes, you can use rom manager with CM7 (cm7 uses codeworkx kernel with cwm 4.0.1.x), works perfectly.
that answers my unasked question that if CM7 has CWM thanks guys gonna flash tomorrow maybe
i can confirm that rom manager works with the kernel i posted above
you can flash the kernel using the CWM manager and than use rom manager
I had a Optimus One earlier and the way it worked there was flash CWM through ROM manager and no matter what kernel you use CWM would stick.
I wanted to know why in SGSII kernel comes with CWM inside it and does not work
standalone like it works in many other devices.I tried searching for answers but could not.
Thanks.
You can't flash cwm through rom manager because the stock kernel won't allow non-signed zip's, so signature verification has to be disabled in the kernel, i guess the dev's then figure what the hell lets throw cwm into the kernel while we're making a kernel.
Hope you can help me. I rooted my friends phone via odin. When i was about to flash a rom via cwm recovery mode - its opening to a "manual mode", im unable to flash the rom. Hope you can help me with this. Thank You
which rom are you trying to flash via cwm?
did you copy the rom to your internal sd card so that cwm can see it.
Basically, can I use BeastMOD or QuikSense without having to flash their kernel? OR must I stay on the stock rom with the stock kernel?
I used a friends computer to unlock and root because my computer won't install drivers/recognize my Amaze...and from what I understand that (adb/fastboot) is needed to use the kernelflasher?
You can flash the ROM's via CWM recovery. The kernel remains as is. XBoarder is working on an oc'd kernel that you would flash separately.
If you already have a custom kernel (non stock) you can use my method of flashing. 100% CWM Recovery flashable.

A second reboot is required. To check if it's installed properly check for the name Paul under kernel version.
I have root my SGS2 and I put on it ICS Rom. Now I can go in clockwork mode with Rom Manager but not with the bootons options when the phone is off. Can someone help me please?!
What happens when you do it?
flash another kernel/rom
Root but does that mean you also installed CWM ??????
jje
It seems you have flashed a rootless ICS version - flash a corresponding CF-Root kernel for your build and you will have CWM available from cold boot.
