I feel like such a n00b but I've literally flashed dozens of ROM's between my Captivate and my Infuse.
Thanks for Entropy, I have my modem back so I can make calls (thank you!).
Now I'm trying to get back into CWM but everytime I flash it in Rom Manager...then reboot into recovery I get this error..
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
And that's in 3e...it won't boot into CWM.
I tried rerooting and using the SGH-I777_ClockwordMod-Reovery_5.0.2.3.tar in Odin...when I reboot in recovery...it freezes up...
Any suggestions?
Hmm that one is odd.
Until further notice - don't use ROM Manager on our device. Kernel-included CWM is the way to go. My guess is that somehow ROM manager dorked up your system partition. You may need to Odin/Heimdall back to stock, then flash codeworkx's CWM kernel, although I'm surprised you weren't able to enter CWM after flashing codeworkx's kernel...
Edit: When you say it "freezes up" - do you mean stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II screen, or does CWM come up?
If I flash back to stock and try to get into recovery...I get stuck at the above mentioned screen.
If I Odin the CWM 5.0.2.3 package and try to get into recovery...I get into the light blue recovery screen but every option I click on just brings me to the Rom Manager Hat Icon and does nothing (even though I don't have Rom Manager installed anymore). I get stuck in that menu...pull the battery...reboot...still in light blue CWM menu but every option just brings up the Rom Manager Icon.
Only way to "fix" is to get back into download mode, odin back to stock or re-odin the CWM 5.0.2.3 tar again. But, again, if I try to get into recovery from stock...3e recovery (ie useless) if I Odin back to CWM.tar...I get stuck in Rom Manager Icon hell.

Furthermore, the first day I had the phone, I used Rom Manager to install MUIU and it worked fine! Except I had the wrong modem (which I just found out today). I thought MIUI screwed up my phone (because I was unable to make calls) so I then flashed back to stock. Luckily someone posted the stock modem up and I installed that...phone works fine.
I'd like to get MIUI on again because it was smooth as butter and all I did is download the Rom Manager version...i Know it's not supposed to work but it did.

Might be because the buttons aren't the same as they are on the Captivate and each time you hit power or menu (which used to be select on the Captivate) it kinda blanks out the menu until you press it again. Use the volume keys to move up and down, home button to select, and back button to go back.
whoa, I'm retarded...that worked...thanks!
Yeah I was losing my mind too when I was first trying to flash Cognition. Just started mashing buttons and got lucky

I9100 roms will work to an extent, but like you noticed there roms do not support our modems or capacitive keys. Could be other things that are unsupported as well.

I lost 4 hours of kernel development time to this thinking I broke something - see below.

This is correct - it's why you see a bunch of posts between myself, codeworkx, and atinm in the CWM thread.
The current behavior is a bit odd, but it is usable, it's just not documented properly right now.
I have a similar problem, I've found that whenever I get that message, and none of the options on cwm work I pull the battery and turn it back on and the install resumes. Not sure why it hangs up like that but its led to a few tense moments already

I am trying to put Clockwork Recovery on the Vibrant and when I first boot it I need to manually select "reinstall packages". I usually have to do this two times in a row and then it boots into the cw recovery. But when I reboot into the recovery it boots back into the samsung recovery and I have to select "reinstall packages" again to get into cw. This isn't normal correct? I saw that I should only have to do this once and then it should boot into cw recovery everytime with no problems. The phone came with 2.2 stock.
In my experience with stock roms, i have to hit re-install packages twice to go to clockwork recovery.
Well what I am wondering is do you have to do that everytime you want to go into the recovery? Also could that possibly affect the phone to where I would not be able to restore it back to factory if something were to go wrong if I flashed a new ROM?
i assume you have rom manager right? You can do select reboot into recovery so that it will bring you straight to clockwork mod recovery. Also there's an app called "quick boot", that can make you go to recovery or download mode faster.
And no that won't affect anything when you want to flash another rom.
Your fine. Recovery will not effect going to back to stock because odin overrides all. Like the other guy said when your using a stock rooted rom you almost always have to hit it twice. Flash a custom rom and it will always go into recovery with out a hitch.

Ok, thank you for your help. I didn't know if it was having a problem or something.
Sorry for the bump, but I didnt want to start a new thread.
I'm having this same problem, but reinstalling the packages isnt working. I've done it 3 or 4 times

This should help you out.
Thanks for the link. I decided it is probably a better idea just to get a new kernal. My vibrant has andriod 2.1.1 right now. I read elsewhere that custom kernals come with clockwork recovery, plus that would eliminate any problems with my current kernal and the 2.2.1 ROM I am about to flash... Right?
Just need a guide for it.
Edit: I'm trying this. How long is it supposed to take?
Edit2: it failed when it trys to stop the adb server.
Alright so I just got a fascinate today. Already rooted it and looked on how to get in to recovery. Well I did the install with odin steps and all that jazz and everything appeared to go fine until I go to reboot into recovery in rom manager. It just takes me to the stock recovery and gives me the signature error or whatever it says. I tried doing a factory reset and rooting/odin all over again to no avail. Now what should I do in this situation?

Unless your on cm7, rom manager is useless to us as of right now....
Recovery gets over written on every boot from the stock kernel , if you wish to get recovery to stick, you must odin recovery and immediately hold up down and power (the three finger salute) until you see the recovery screen...at that point your must flash a non stock kernel at the least, otherwise recovery will be overwritten right then and there.
After recovery is on there permanently, holding up down power is how you will enter recovery....if however you go to cm7 you would choose reboot recovery from the power button menu

Which recovery are you trying to flash? Better yet, which ROM are you trying to use?
If you'd like to try CM7, I posted steps I did that worked flashing CM7 on another thread.
Refer to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16048409&postcount=10
This is installing CM7 after I Odined from Stock.
Hope you find it useful.
If you like the ROM, don't forget to say thanks to JT!
I tried to flash CM7 last night but it didn't work so I flashed back to to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659.
Now when I'm in Recovery mode on my Samsung Galaxy S II a logo of a Black Hat appears when I click on any choice in the Recovery screen and I have to pull the battery to restart the phone. I've tried everything, I think.
Since my phone is almost brand new and everything is backed up, I think, I would like to just wipe the phone clean and reload with the original stock AT&T software or image.
Anyone know how to do this?
BTW.... I think this may have been caused by the fact I tried to use ROM Manager to flash CM7 and on one post it said in big letters NOT to use ROM Manager.
Any/all help is greatly appreciated.
What button are you using to select stuff in CWM?
Have you tried to home button, the power button isn't used in this version
If you have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3 in your kernel, you have to use the "home" soft key to select. The power button will only toggle between menu and logo.
To flash back to stock, use one of the one click downloader packages you can find here. You can choose between straight stock, and stock plus root.
Hey guys I need some help. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 with NK1. I rooted it by flashing back to NC5 and then rooting then flashing back to NK1, that part worked perfectly fine. I then wanted to install a recovery so I used the CWM app and thats where things went wrong. After doing so it said it did it successfully but when I clicked boot into recovery so I can install CM12 it did not boot into recovery it instead booted straight to the Odin screen with the Android logo in the middle and below it saying "Downloading", and also has the text in the top left corner.
I am hoping someone has an answer on how to fix this.
Thanks!
Also to add onto that I am able to boot up my phone normally its not that its stuck in a boot loop where I can't get past that point. It only happens when I try to go into recovery mode that it take me to the Odin screen. When I do the steps for booting into Recovery it shows the samsung logo and then the blue text that usually comes up in the top left corner flashes for a millisecond and then the screen transitions to the Odin screen
No cm based roms & only safestrap for custom recovery. Spend some time reading what you can & can't do to your phone

Is there any other way I can factory reset my phone and wipe it completely because I can't go into recovery mode.
Have you installed safestrap?

Yessir I installed it, what would be the next step?
Read how to use it. If you installed the recovery (not just the apk), reboot your phone and you'll see the screen and directions how to enter ss recovery.
From there you'll be able to wipe your phone.
Not sure how it'll work with you trying to install cwm. If this doesn't work, odin'ing back to stock and starting over might be your next option (unless someone else can suggest something)
Aslo, if you're stuck in that boot, you can pull the battery,
then hold the volume down, home and power to get the the download screen,
choose restart the phone
this worked for me when I was in a boot loop
This won't fix your recovery mode issue though, but you'll be able to use your phone in the mean time
Hi, I have this problem. I had rooted galaxy S3 i9300, with Android Revolution ROM. I wanted to flash Liquid Smooth ROM and I did something wrong because I soft bricked it. So I downloaded some stock ROM (Not the one I used to have, completely different one with older android I didn't notice version I looked for region) flashed it with Odin, then rooted phone with Odin and flashed CWM with Odin, so I could do nandroid restore of the older ROM I had. The problem is I can't get to CWM recovery. When I turn on phone while holding Vol-, Home and Power buttons, I don't see Samsung logo, I get straight to download mode. Somewhere I read that you need to install CWM first and then root, so I did that as well and it didn't help. Can I restore my backups some other way? Or what should I do?
Edit: I installed ROM manager and tried to install CWM. It downloaded and then I got Flashing 100/100 and nothing happened. It froze and CWM was not installed. Then I found app CWM (idk if it was there before I didn't notice it) So I tried to restore backup with that and it did not worked as well.
Actually I wouldn't mind using this older version, I would say it's faster than newer one, but my network is not working. No signal so I need to repair that fast bc I don't have any other backup phone.
I'd say your best bet would be to try:
Flashing your stock rom again using odin.
Let it reboot and load, then switch it off.
Go back into download mode and flash cwm or philz touch or whatever custom recovery you choose. Make sure you untick the reboot when finished option in odin or else the phone will revert back to stock recovery.
Unplug the phone and pull the battery.
Hold down the vol+ / home / power button for about 5 seconds and then let the power button go. This should load the recovery. Reboot from recovery and it should be a permanent fix.
I'd then root and apply supersu and then install a custom power menu (xposed module + gravitybox) which allows you to boot into recovery/download mode straight from the power menu.
Good luck.
I did what you said, installed stock ROM, right one (I guess), flashed cwm, unticked reboot, after that I unplugged phone and pulled out battery. And now, if I try to enter recovery I just enter download mode again. Idk what did I do wrong?

Press volume up for recovery. Volume down for download mode.
