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?
for users using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
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

hi there,
i got problmes installing the CM7 nightly.
at this moment im using SGS2 stock ROM rooted via ODIN (with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4.tar) that finally brings me root and the CWN Manager v.180.
At this moment i flashed twice GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.0.tar via Odin. (released here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 via codeworkx)
I've upgraded to Rom Manager Premium and hit Flash ClockwordMod (sure i hit the Galaxy S2)
If i restart via Rom Manager into Recovery System a triangle appears, pushing the power button long enough is brings me to "Clockwork Recovery V 4.0.1.0"..
After a reboot back in the StockROM it says inside the Rom Manager "Current Rec. Sys. : ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2
if i choose Download ROM there are no Nightly CM7 Builds. (i think because of Clockwork Recov. 4.0.0.2...)
Sure if checked "Advanced Mode" inside the Rom Manager Options.
what made i wrong?
excuse my (maybe) stupid question and thank you for helping me in advance
Greetings, cvoid
in addition:
i try to install something from the extra section of Rom Manager it reboots and the triangle of hell is back...
1)Go To The Cyanogen thread and download the release over there.
2)format data, /system, /data, everything but leave out /sdcard
3)#optional - you can flash back to cwm 4.0.1.0 if you like. (reboot to download mode)
4)mount usb from recovery.
5)move the zip (cyanogen installation file) to your phone's root via usb.
6)select install from zip
7)reboot after install.
There you go, you now have the perfect running cyanogen 7.
ok, will try it later. But, cirrect me if i am wrong, shouldn't i be able to choose the nightlys from inside rom manager?
And why isn't recovery bootin if i start it right out of the rom manager? (the triangle, see above)
Thank you so far
Chris

I dont think there is any cm7 nightlys for s2. so you'll have to do it manually.
i think it might be that you are having a 4.0.1.0 recovery and the rom manager is trying to boot with 4.0.0.2 recovery.
im running 4.0.1.0 (codeworkx kernel)...
thought of rom manager premium because atinm mentioned it that way...
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112916
"the easy way"...
will try to flash it manually... thank you for your help!
I have a Odin flashed kg6 with cfroot also flashed giving me root.
I'd like to install cyanogen but when I install ROM manager and select install clockwork I can't reboot into it - I just get the stock recovery.
I see that there is clockwork for cwm with the cfroot and I can boot into that but I don't know how to install cyanogen unless I put an update.zip file on. In which case after I apply update.zip which finishes in a few seconds? ? Then a restart just hangs on the boot logo.
Is ROM manager for S2 incompatible or am I missing something?
I'm in exactly same boat, is CF-Root and cyanmod not going to work together or is it something on the firmware side, I've tried mutliple nightlies and XXKG1/2/3/5/6 with same result, ROM manager premium fails on signature and CWM that comes with CF-root does exactly as same as post above.
any help also appreciated.
hello friends
I am not able to install any ROM on my S2. I tried to download miui rom but after downloading when i try to install through ROM manager premium it is rebooting in recovery mode and not able to verify signature. i updated S2 with XXKG6 kernel recently. before that i has KG3. I n any case i am not able to put any ROM.
Anyone can give any resolution?
You need one of these kernels http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 then you can boot into recovery and flash the zip.
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 All,
I am having trouble with Galaxy S2. Months ago I rooted my phone, installed cwm and installed a ROM into it. Now they have released a new version of the ROM which I want to install it.
This is the ROM:
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-roms/resurrection-ics-rom-v2-0-for-galaxy-s2-i9100-best-ics-rom/
however, I am unable to boot into CWM Recovery.
If I do the POWER+VOLUP+HOME button its going directly to Android Recovery
I tried opening the CWM Manager, and I get this prompted:
"This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled"
I remember Flashing a Kernel to remove the Triangle Logo on the Loading Part.
So how can I flash the Kernel back? And install the newest updated ROM
Flash cf-root first it seems that you're not rooted.

Flashing the original kernel to remove the yellow triangle also takes you back to stock 3e recovery. You are still rooted though. Reflash the unsecure kernel through cwm manager or if that doesnt work, download ktool from google play and reflash from there.
This will give you CWM recovery without increasing binary flash counter. Reboot into recovery and do full wipe, before flashing new firmware.

flash the CF-root kernel using odin or siyah kernel(for me siyah is much smoother) and everything should be fine, also use triangle away to remove the triangle (u can get in google play for donation to the dev or on XDA for free)
