Hey guys!
The ClockworkMod recovery has been released. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787168 Check out this post and do what it says. Once it is finished go download ROM Manager from the Market and update your recovery! I will have a rom out ASAP after I get it tested :] If you wanna test email me at [email protected]
Which of those 3 zip files needs to be flashed ?
So does that mean that samsung reviewed and fixed the code they released or was there something that the devs were missing when trying to build the kernel?

This is not built from source, this is a duct taped together version of recovery, it should work for now though.
I've got CWM running on my Fascinate! =)
Too bad it doesn't mount the SDcard and it places nandroid backups in /data, but it's a start. =)
Do we flash it in ODIN using the PDA box ?

good stuff!
Very exciting news.. Looking forward to coming home and giving it a try.. at least making a full nandroid backup.. I've had to rebuild this phone from scratch way too many times now.
I'm not really clear on the instructions.
I have downloaded the captivate_recovery.zip but I'm not sure how to proceed from that point. Am I using Odin?
This isn't working for me, I flashed the tar file in ODIN and then installed clockwork from rom manager. When I click reboot into recovery it loads up a stock recovery and gives some errors under it.
Update with more info:
When I reboot into recovery from RomManager I get
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I'm thinking this means the ODIN flash didn't work correctly
Maybe someone could post clear step-by-step instructions?
what tar file cheeto. all i'm seeing is three zip files, that when unzipped have no extension. a little help?

You flashed a new recovery kernel with the clockworkmod recovery binary. I'm confused why you would try and install again, on top of it, from ROM manager? (Don't take that the wrong way.. that's not an "OMG Why would you do that?!" It's an "I'm not following your logic".. )
Re-do your initial step (flash recovery via odin) and that should be it, unless I'm missing something here.
and for those of us still out of the loop... how do you flash the recovery via odin? add a .tar to the file in the zip? rename the .zip file to .tar? help us out please.

Hang in there, I know it's frustrating. Let us get some more feedback on this and how it's working before the steps are broken down so that anyone can follow along. The last thing we all want to see is post after post from people who did this not knowing how to fix their phones if something goes wrong.
If you're confident you know what's going on, the posts are there, in the Fascinate forum, on how to use odin. Feel free to check them out.
BE CAREFUL EVERYONE. there are quite a few issues with cwm still, It doesn't detect the sdcard, so you wont be able to flash a backup. and you can only get into recovery by rebooting into recovery through rom manager.
Hello everybody,
First I'd like to thank to community for the hard work. I v read a countless amount of pages of this forum and I can't even imagine the time people spent helping on issues or writing tutorials.
So thank you if you re up to spend few minutes on my specific case (and sorry for the bad english).
Here is my device and the different version of kernel ...
1/ Rooting my device (tutorial in french translated from xda)
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/guide-rooter-son-galaxy-s2-39763841.htm
S-Root version used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Everything went pretty well when I rooted the GS2. I got the Superuser app so i figure it's ok.
I just used a modified kernel found on xda who was corresponding the my base band version (just the PDA in Odin).
2/ Installing a new ROM (Cyanogenmod by Rom Manager)
I followed : http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/ and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide (official guide) using Rom Manager premium.
When i tried to reboot in Recovery (manually or with Rom Manager), i can't find the "Install the zip" option, I have 4 available: "Update from the zip", the 2 wiping/delete options and the reboot.
So obviously if i try to wipe files, wipe the cache then to update with the zip I have the following Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
Do you have any idea what went wrong in the process ?
Should i flash the phone withOdin and change my base band version to another one ?
For info, I did the Permission Fix option in Rom Manager too. Didnt help.
Thanks a lot.
U need clockworkmod instaled first..

As we've already said, you haven't installed CWM Recovery. You see at the top of your second photo where it says "Android system recovery (3e)"? That's stock recovery.
you can't install CWM recovery thru ROM manager.
just flash the CF Root Kernel for KI4 thru ODIN , you will have CWM recovery.
Hmm I understand about the CWM version I'm booting with, but as you can see on the first capture, my kernel version is a modified one i got after using Odin (puting this Kernel : GT-I9100_XXKI4_insecure.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).
I got the root access by S2 Root.
Ok I think I installed only the Kernel and not CF Root available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I ll try to redo Odin and stuff and let you know if I'm still alive.
So it's not great right now. I have installed CF Root with Odin, so I had CWM on my phone (I could see the application). Then after reboot with CWM Recovery and installing Cyanogenmod, the phone doesnt want to start anymore.....
I tried to apply the insecure kernel again with Odin but still impossible to download. I'm stuck on the screen with the yellow sign and written Galaxy S2.
HALP !!
I just tried to put back the official firware version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and put it in my phone with Odin.
Ok, I dont have the yellow sign anywore but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen (where it's written Samsung GALAXY s II)...
What should I try ?
I'm still able to boot with CWM recovery but I didn't make any backup and nothing work.
Do you think the phone is dead ?
5 posts in a row?
So, just to clarify, you've tried to install CM7, which amongst other things tells you to do a nandroid backup, and also to flash twice in succession. Did you do either of these things? The instructions are there to be followed, don't just ignore them.
Ok my bad I didn't backup anything because I had no data to backup. This was maybe a bad move...
Anyway, I tried to flash it twice yes. Right now, i'm working with a modified Kernel (with CF Root), and booting in CWM Recovery. When I want to flash again by installing from the .zip I get a Satus 7 Error.
In CWM, every advanced options are apparently available but I dont know anything about them.
And just so you know, on my SD Card i have 1 update.zip and the update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2.... .zip from Cyanogen.

Flash a stock rom with Odin and then root your phone again. Start reading and follow procedures when you want to flash custom roms again .See Intratechs`s thread for a stock rom
Thanks for your reply.
I did it, it didn't work, I mean i could flash with Odin but the reboot doesn't work : the start screen appeared without the yellow sign, but it's stuck on it.

FYI, I installed Rom Manager yesterday, it way interact in a bad way with CWM Recovery.
For now i can mount USB by CWM Recovery but cannot do anything else.
If you have a method to clean completely the phone ? Maybe the bootloader is broken...

Hello! I installed a mod for my Samsung Galaxy SII so I could overclock the CPU to 1.5Ghz. Since I'm new here I can't post the link to the tutorial I followed. But you can just search "Samsung Galaxy S2 how to overclock to 1.5GHz" and select the search result from "androidng". I don't think it matters anyway. It says that I have the kernel version "2.6.65.8-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #59". Now I want to install CyanogenMod for it and I've already downloaded ROM Manager Premium 4.8.0.6 and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which removed the default recovery mode from Samsung / Google. But when I try to install the ROM from my SD card in the recovery mode it says "failed to verify whole-file signature". Is it possible to get rid of the ClockworkMod Recovery and get the stock recovery back that enable me to flash over USB with Odin. It seems like a lot of people have that error but I can't find any answer to solve it. Someone suggested to disable signature verification but I can't find it, I think it is in an earlier version. Will the "factory reset" option in the menu reset everything to Samsung's stock ROM without the recovery mode and will it backup files, settings and apps? (Probably it is not working either because nothing on that menu works except restart)
Sounds to me like you still have stock recovery, you're not going to get CWM recovery from ROM manager.
I don't know what the CWM recovery is but I'm sure I don't have the stock recovery. The stock recovery from Samsung don't have that menu that says "Android System Recovery <3e>, on the stock recovery it says "Downloading... Do not turn off target" and has a big Android image.

Yes, yes it does. What you're describing is download mode.
Ah. I thought the volume up did the same as the volume down. I started the phone in downloader mode now but I still don't know how to get rid of the "failed to verify whole-file signature" error.
Considering you're trying to install CM7, read the FAQ thread in this very forum carefully. One of the first instructions is to flash a specific kernel which includes CWM recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
You should flash a cf root kernel this will give you all you need including cwm manager which allows you to reboot straight into clockwork recovery.

I'm having the same problem. Here's what I did though...
I rooted with CF-Root and then flashed back to stock Kernel and root has remained. Now when I go to boot into CWM Recovery I get the "failed to verify signature" error on the screen that says Android recovery <3e>.
Is it because I flashed back to stock Kernel that this is happening?

Where in the instructions to install CM7 does it say to do anything with stock kernel or CF-root kernel? Hint: it doesn't. Follow the instructions to the letter, they're not there to look pretty, they're meant to be followed.
Also, a 5 second search would tell you that Android recovery 3e is not CWM recovery.

As you know you still have root, but when you flashed the stock kernel back on you got stock recovery back.

When you flash from CF-Root back to a stock Kernel, you LOSE root. You will still have the CWM app but you will notice that superuser is missing.

Nope. Unless there's some weird exception for me. But I kept root after going back to stock Kernel. Superuser is there and all my apps requiring root function as they should.

I had the same problem bought ROM Manager expecting my phone to reboot and CM7 would install but it dosen't well not the first time anyway. You need to install CM7 manually via Clockwork Recovery, once CM7 is installed you can then use ROM manager to install other ROM's but since there have been no nightly builds from November it seems that ROM Manager was £4 down the drain.

Something is odd with mine then. I've flashed every XW and XX frankenstein ROM and each time I did the kernal flash dance in order to remove the warning triangle. When I flashed the stock kernel back in, I always lost root. Superuser disappeared and Tegrak overclock gave me the error that root access was not available each time.

Hi, I had the same problem you did when trying to do the nandroid backup. It was giving me validation signature error. I noticed that you have solved your problem by flashing the stock kernel?? Can you please refer me the link how to do this? Sorry, I was trying to find the solution for a long time and did not have any luck.
My concern is that if I only have instruction how to do the backup through the CMW recovery, but I don't have access due to this error message. Is there a way to flash stock kernel via odin or something else?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I'm a newbie with Android modding, sorry!
Long story short, I have a rooted Galaxy S2 with CWM 4.0.0.2 on it, friend helped me with that.
I have "Rom Manager Premium v5.0.0.6" (paid) on my phone and I also have "ClockworkMod Touch" (paid) on there. (Yes, I know you can do all this for free manually, I just figured for 5.99 + 1.99 if it's easier, it's less than 2 coffees)
When I first open ROM Manager it says
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
ClockworkMod Touch is available!
Up the top of the program I can press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it asks me what phone I have. I choose the bottom one Samsung GalaxyS2 (retail purchased, in Australia - outright phone?) it then downloads says "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!" no mention of flashing it, just downloading it?
The version numbers still say "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5"
If I re-boot and hold down the 3 buttons will result in v4.0.0.2 appearing still.
Alternatively in ROM Manager, near the bottom I can choose "Flash ClockworkMod Touch" it also downloads but doesn't prompt me what phone I have. It also says
"Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!" It also doesn't seem to flash CWM Touch, just download it.
Once this is complete up the top it now says.
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.8.1.5
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.8.1.5
These numbers will now stay at the top 'locked' at 5.8.1.5 even after a re-boot. Although holding the 3 buttons will result in v4.0.0.2 booting.
Finally, if I choose "Reboot into Recovery" from within ROM manager it boots into a menu I've never seen before and says exactly the following
"Android system recover (3e)" (in blue)
<some standard menu items>
At the bottom in red it says
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted. (in yellow)
Just to make it clear, I do know that a new recovery isn't a new phone OS (ROM?) I just wanted to put the latest recovery on before fiddling.
So am I doing something wrong here?
I'm a relative newb too. But my view is leave all the fancy stuff alone. Just go with the text one that loads when you boot into recovery mode (4.0.0.2). I had a play with the graphical ones, but I found it too confusing.

ROM Manager in Android OS will allow me to load another OS on the phone right? Like go from stock Samsung OS to CM7 for example, if I have the big ZIP file? it replaces the OS on the phone.
ClockworkMod recovery (bootable) is the same thing right? They both do the same thing, allow you to load a new ROM on the phone?
The question is, how do I put the latest recovery bootloader (whatever it is?) on the phone? Mine is out of date and I want a new one on there.

Not willing to change my OS really until I'm confident I have the right recovery console and a complete backup of the phone (manually via USB / Titanium and a ROM dump, however that works) – does anything backup the cache as well? Like the whole works?

I already have root access.
I already have CWM 4.0.0.2 bootloader (recovery?) installed and it's bootable.
I have Clockwork mod the actual application in the OS
I have ROM manager the app in the OS too.
I want to upgrade my CWM recovery bootloader thing, before I fiddle with any new OS ROMs on the device. I'm just being pedantic but I'd prefer the latest loader before I flash a new OS on the device, with said loader.
I can't seem to update the bootloader / recovery from 4.0.0.2 to a newer version within the Android OS (despite ROM manager claiming it can do it)
I also can't seem to do the update from within the recovery manager either.
Do I absoloutely HAVE to use ODIN to flash a new recovery console?

Multiple post say do not use rom manager with CWM on SGS 2 .

CWM or Bootloader ???

No idea but it takes me seconds to do it that way .

That page says "(CM9 or any other ICS based ROMs are not supported)" I want to eventually put CM9 on the phone though?

Huh!? ICS is not officially released yet but there is some pre-relaesed custom versions with there own kernels. Siyah has no need to make it compatible with ICS as its not officially released and im sure he will make this compatible when its officially released in the future. ICS will be pretty much a standard for every Android based systems.

Incase this is of use.
Help any?
Not willing to change my OS really until I'm confident I have the right recovery console and a complete backup of the phone (manually via USB / Titanium and a ROM dump, however that works) – does anything backup the cache as well? Like the whole works?

Why would you want to change the OS?? Your running Android!! You mean you don't want to change your ROM until your confident. Do your research!!! Read threads, FAQ and Google anything you don't understand. There is plenty of threads in the Q&A just search for your answer. Read about NANDROID backups, Download mode and Recovery's. If you have an understanding of them 3 you will solve all your problems that you have posted. Don't be lazy!!
MOST OF ALL GROW A PAIR....
I know what download mode is and I know what recovery mode is, the point is on my HD2 I could re-install Android from CWM easily and simply. I could clear cache, clear data, wipe dalvik, load on any ROM I liked and it worked awesome.
I just want the latest version of the recovery software on my phone, mine is well out of date.
So i did a quick search and couldnt really find anything on the Q&A forums about this...so here goes
i just installed the UCLD3 kernel no problem on my i717. however when i go into CWM and try to install the new CM9 mod that is posted in development i get "signature verification failed". I cant find any way to disable signature verification (since even in the title of the thread it SAYS its unsigned, and i understand that) so that it will install anyway.
what can i do?
p.s. hello forums. first post although i peruse these forums all the time
One of two things
In clockwork there should be an option to toggle signature verification if I'm not mistaken
Or you have a bad download
But I'm pretty sure its the first
Look in advanced in CWM
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
in my old kernel i had an advanced tab in CWM, but since i just updated to UCLD3 now there is no advanced button. i only have
reboot system
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
and thats it. its probably not the download since they already say its "unsigned". I just dont know how to get CWM to not check for the signature...
is CWM independent of the kernel and i can reinstall it or is there another way?

Yes, cwm.is seperate from the kernel, what you have if 3e recovery (stock recovery)
NOT cwm at all.
Grab cwm here
You'll want the Odin flashable version.
Happy flashing

then your solution is likely the same...
If you have CWM, then toggle "off" signature verification.
If you have 3e recovery, then you need to install CWM recovery......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576
If you already have CWM recovery, and you have turned "off" signature verification in the recovery and still the verification fails, then you have a bad download copy.......g
