Hey folks,
I rooted, no issues. Odin, clockwork, superoneclick. Everything went smoothly.
I can install, say, root explorer, and get superuser permission.
I downloaded 2 roms (just to make sure it wasn't the download) but when I try to install them in clockwork it gives me an error (unverified) and aborts installation.
I've read about it a bit, but haven't found any definitive solutions.
Help?
THANKS!

first this should be in general.
however which roms are you refering to?
Its poosible you are installing a Rom that is mismatching the build.prop or somthing to that effect, so make sure your getting the CM7 found in this dev section or Cognition

Those are the two roms.

Flash stock with root via odin or Heimdall
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18065445&postcount=1
Then flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18052303&postcount=1
You should then have the ability to flash either Cog or CM7 kang with no issues

Ok, here's official clockworkmod and ROM Manager support
For a full/better How To, click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
This thread is a quick rundown, as well as a primer on how to create a proper clockwork compatible kernel.
First, use odin or redbend_ua to flash this kernel:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/fascinate/zImage (you will need to package it accordingly for odin, I am lazy and did not do so, see the other thread)
Then, open up ROM Manager and flash recovery (choose Fascinate!).
All done!
Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.
How this works for those that want to develop on this further and create kernels that are ALSO clockworkmod compatible:
I extracted a initramfs from a stock recovery. I modified recovery.rc and fota.rc to allow adbd (and other small fixups). I modified default.prop to enable adbd and root shell. I replaced /res/keys with a test signed version to allow applying update.zip files.
Here is my fascinate initramfs:
http://github.com/koush/fascinate_initramfs
One can build clockwork directly into the kernel if they so choose. Simply take the update.zip on your SD card and pack those files into the initramfs as well. I chose not to do this because I am lazy.
i know this is irrelevant but i hope you can help
i flashed the CMWrecovery file --- i followed the steps to the dot .. and now my phone can't get signal and is rebooting insanely ... help!!!
i did not uninstall the ext2 lag fix - i did not see that in the steps --

i have this up and running with root and cw the only problems im having is my market wont load and it only gives me the "top free" tab and the "just in" tabs on the market...i can not see the top paid tab. i did a odin full restore (everything back to stock) then i rooted and flashed this anyone give me a had to why my market is funny? or how i have bad serves now?thanks to everyone for getting us cw!!

So you're saying you downloaded this specific zImage2 file, then tar'd it, then flashed it over your kernel and it worked? Did you use odin, or redbend?
Or did you just post for help on the bottom of this thread?

Yes, there's a difference. When I posted asking if anyone had gotten this to work, I meant the kernel Koush specifically provided above, in this post. I know in general CWM recovery works.
I would try posting in the thread where you obtained your files for help. That way there are people who are using the same kernel that might help.

turee that sorry. im noticing more and more problems like i dont have maps and missing apps here and there. thisis my fist time using odin and samsung...should i just odin back to stock everything and then try this recovery?
Alright...so I am confused now and I am not an Android noob....I see all the threads with how to flash the recovery and then this one....but I think we should have ONE thread that walks thru Rooting, flashing recovery etc....AND, in the first post, the instructions tell people how to pack files and etc., but a lot of people have no clue what that means...therefore, we need to have a "packed-ready" files for noobs. There are just a few too many botched phones.
As a noob myself, I think that sounds like a great plan.

Can someone post a link on how to backup the original stock kernel via ODIN (or some other application) before I go ahead with this? I'd like to just be able to go back to the unmodified kernel if I want to. After a five minute search I couldn't even find a tutorial on ODIN.
so I rooted my phone via superoneclick 1.9 then loaded up latest version of clockworkmod and I gave it superuser permission and flashed the recovery but when i go to boot into recovery and push the reinstall package button instead of loading into clockwork like its supposed to it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature, E:signature verification failed installation aborted." and wont let me go into clockwork. Im sorry if this has been answered i tried searching but could'nt find anything addressing this specific problem, thanks in advance and im sure someone will post a link to a posting i missed answering this problem lol again i apolagise if this has been answered already i couldnt find it.

+100000 for that, the modded 3e didn't work for me, but that [your] method worked wonders. Pretty epic guide
BTW the link for the UPDATE.ZIP is wrong, it's not CWM recovery Had to do it manually.

Hey, appreciate the kind words. The update.zip I have posted is NOT CWR... it is just a zip to give root. If a person didn't have CWR prior on their phone they would need that to root, then go to the market and grab Rom Manager to flash CWR. Most have CWR/RM so they do not need the update.zip I included.
Maybe I need to make that more clearer in the guide? Thoughts?
Maybe.
I have a Galaxy S I9000 and I've done a few things with it (root, flash ROMs etc.), but the Vibrant was SO different. But I thought that the update.zip included was the CWM one.
Anyway, I'm done with it, but still can't make it work with my european SIM card

Thanks ill check that out when I get home.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
My phone is running 2.3.4 and it is rooted. I tried to install Cyanogenmod and it didn't work.
It says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.8.1.8 (I assume that's the right one?)
Already made backups using Titanium. Went to download ROM and only found the Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 (Stable Release). In other peoople's video it shows different kinds of Cyanogenmod but on mine only that was there.
I checked those three boxes, downloaded, and the phone restarted and it shows error sign and small Android robot. Waited and nothing happened so I just reboot my phone and it went to the ClockwordMod Recovery mode and I restored.
Any idea why this is happening? Did I do something wrong? What should I do?

and it's done. It worked.
Yes I have searched, yes I have tried google and yes I am still stuck...
I *think* I have tried just about everything and I have read through about 10 "soft brick" or "stuck on samsung screen after rooting on stock ICS" (and most combinations of) but nothing is working. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I just can't seem to get anywhere. Here's what happened.....
I googled rooting galaxy not after ICS update and found this http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
It was all I could find about rooting after the ICS OTA update, so I did it. Everything seemed fine. I had CW but no superuser so I DL it from the market as well as my old Titanium pro from back when I rooted my HTC. I rebooted my phone to get it all settled in and decided to run Titanium and get this party started. I got an error message that busybox was not installed so.... I installed it but when I clicked the app on my phone it said it would not install because I didn't have root access.... This is where the confusion starts to set in.
So I restarted to see if I could get into CW but when I rebooted the soft brick started.... I was stuck at the "samsung" screen.
I IMMEDIATELY ran to XDA and began my search. I can still get to DL mode, Odin and CW so I know there is hope. I tried the files listed in the "All in one guide for noobs" and the "Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717)".
There was a suggestion to use Kies but when I put in my serial # and model name i get the "galaxy note does not support initializing" message.
I'm not new to flashing/rooting, although things are a bit different, I have a basic understanding of the process but I ain't no Einstein either...
I also tried to flash the stock Telus ICS rom but I got an error message and my lil droid guy went belly up....
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my note and this is killing me...
I have to go to work so if I don't reply immediately its because I have no email access at work.... Especially without my Note....
The steps are correct in the link you gave.
Did Odin3 say success?
Did you get CWM installed?
Did you flash superuser?
Is there a superuser icon in your apps?
Ranger is on it....
I'm thinking we dont have CWM on the device....????
And no SU flash, from within the recovery that doesnt exist....g
He has cwm, he did not flash superuser, Looks like he assumed flashing cwm would automatically root him.
Since you can get into recovery... i would just go ahead and download a Rom zip, transfer to phone by mounting in cwm (mounts and storage if you didn't know) and flash that sumbitch
Oh yep...found that.......Thanks brother....g
That means do or redo steps 13 to 16 in the guide you posted.
agreed....g
im back...
Just got in, thanks for the replies.
Yes I have CWM and can access it. I have tried to flash the CM roms as well as the stock telus ICS rom but was denied at install. I got a "assert failed getprop (ro.build.device)" message and 2 other "ro." error messages when I install the cm nightly quincyatt rom.

I appreciate the help by the way, I know how frustrating it can be to try and help with tech situations from emails and messages (Hi Mom ).
Thanks has been pushed....
That assert error is in the script used by CWM to flash and it is saying 'wrong rom for your device'. So for sure you have the correct CWM and rom for your phone? Just checking because errors at this point make your phone useless.

Ok, take it easy for a few days. Just read up and, now that you've survived the worst scenerio, you might want to try a more custom rom or other modifications. Pretty soon you will be pulling someone else's a$$ out of the fire. Good luck.
I think I'm okay now. Was a skeerty one though. Lol
Yesterday I updated my S2 i777 to KitKat with OmniRom, but I did something really dumb. Omni rom does not come with root so i tried to install root and used a kernel from jellybean. While I was mucking around with CWM i also turned on signature verification. The result was my phone was bricked, which i fixed, but now i am stuck on ginger bread (rooted) and when I try to launch CWM it says it failed to verify the whole-file signature and stays in stock recovery mode. When I try to install CWM or any other package in stock recovery I also get the signature error. Because it is in stock recovery and not CWM I am not able to change the setting either. Does anyone know how I fix this or get around it? Maybe by somehow manually changing the setting in a file?
Thanks.
Stock recovery will not install any unsigned firmware. You will need to follow one of many guides available here, that will walk you through the process of going from stock to custom firmware.
Your shortest path to omni is using the "mobile Odin method" listed in the notes of the omni OP. But I seriously suggest familiarizing yourself with the process -othermark has an up to date guide in the "General" section.

The problem with mobile odin is that it costs money, which i would rather not pay. On top of that, I am using the same steps on the same firmware that i used to have to upgrade my phone. I am allready rooted too, and have clockwork mod, but when I try and boot into clockwork it also gives me that error and goes to stock recovery. For somereason launching clockwork mod is installing a package on stock recovery. I am launching clockwork mod from rom manager btw.

ROM MANAGER is known to cause issues with these phones. You should avoid using it from here on.

@ConnorBP,
I don't think cyril279's warning about Rom Manager is strong enough. Rom Manager is not only known to cause problems, it has in some cases caused damage to the low level firmware which is very difficult to recover from. There is a sticky right at the top of this forum.

I saw that sticky, but it has worked for me so far, and I only use it to boot into clockwork mod and sometimes install clockwork. I can't seem to get into clockwork by doing the key combinations so i use that.

With your phone on fully booted into (whatever ROM)
1) Gather all necessary flash files onto internal sdcard before performing these steps.

---b) MrCook's ROM wipe.zip
---c) Omni-nightly.zip
