Ok so i rooted my phone and flashed the kernel via ODIN. im currently running CWM 5.0.2.6 but it seems i cant install any roms from zip files and it aborts durring verification. Ive tried everything under then sun to try to get it to work. Also when i goot into recovery i get the green android logo with the trangle exclimaiton. once i hit power i get into CWM. but its useless.
Id love to package the rom into a .tar or .rar and flash using odin.
Also, the kernel i flashed is supposed to have voodoo control and OC of which i have neither, yet when i go into DL mode it says i have 3 binaries,
love the phone so far!
Remember the power key does nothing in cwm. The home key is the select key.

Either it's an utter miracle it even booted then because the I777 does not have a Wolfson audio amp and hence NO kernels for it have Voodoo Sound, thus you booted a kernel for a first-generation GalaxyS device, or you own a device other than the SGH-I777 and you're in the wrong place.
All currently released custom kernels for the SGH-I777 have CWM 5.0.2.3

i just got my phone running ED01 today and it unrooted my phone. i rerooted it and all that jazz but my question is this...
i can't reboot into cwm recovery?
it just reboots me back into stock recovery.
do i download the latest cwm, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and problem solved?
Put a new kernel on your sd card. As soon as you finish rooting, boot immediately into cwr and flash the kernel. If you let the phone boot before you do this, the stock kernel overwrites the recovery.
This happened to me earlier today and had me pulling my hair out. Nemesis2all had the answer.
yes! YES! that was just what i needed.
thank.you.
Ughh. I am having a very similar problem and I have been trying to solve it for the past 4 hours with no luck. Could you please tell me what you did to resolve this?
I was on SC 2.9 with JT's TW voodoo kernel. I decided to go back to stock and start from scratch by flashing the DI01 all in one Odin package in Odin. (I disabled voodoo before doing this). Everything went smooth as butter. I then got the vzw prompt to OTA Froyo. I downloaded and installed it just fine. I then re-rooted. Now I am having a hard time trying to get CWM to flash/install. I flashed 'cwm-recovery-all' in odin. Odin says it was successful and reboots my phone. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes to the blue android 2e screen. I go to 'apply update.zip and thats when I keep getting errors.
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed "
I'm sure I am forgetting a step or missing something

First, grab a TW kernel, for example JT's TW voodoo kernel and place it on ur SD card. Next remove battery and enter download mode so u can Odin CWR. Once it's done u should see that it succeeded flashing CWR in Odin. Next reinstall battery and enter recovery mode by holding down both volume buttons and power button. Once u see the samsung logo, release and it should enter red CWR. Then flash the TW kernel and reboot. U should be golden. There's no update.zip file to worry about.
As mentioned on the previous post, the stock kernel overwrites CWR and defaults back to stock blue recovery. Good Luck...

Couldnt agree more. This rom is great. I wouldn't expect anything less from Nitro. Also, I took my phone off the charger an hour and a half ago and im at 99%. I would have been at 87 - 90% before using this new combination.

Hello,
Not sure if this has been brought up before.
I flashed the simply galaxy (gingerbread) rom last night. I come from bionixV 1.2.1.
I have 2 issues right now. I can not see the recovery. When ever I boot into recovery it freezes/hangs
in the vibrant boot logo. I read somewhere that the recovery is behind the boot logo and I can not see it.
I tried the 3 button combo and the rom manager reboot into recovery - I still can not get into recovery
I will appreciate any help.
Also, I installed titanium backup, it installed correctly, but I can not see it in the app drawer.
thanks,
"- Can not see recovery. Use CWM app or method of changing kernel to flash anything"

I think I told this before in the rom's thread, you cannot boot into recovery by choosing that option from the power screen. You've to flash a 2.2 kernel (overstock) using the sgs kernel flasher app and then reboot, press the 3 buttons combo and you'll have the recovery screen full functional.
READ, READ AND READ my friend before you flash any rom.
I flashed the overstock 2.1 using the SGS kernel flasher app.
Now my phone hangs at the overstock logo.
I took out the battery and powereed on, it still hangs at the overstock logo.
I can do the 3 button combo to go to recovery.
SGS Kernel flasher bricks me everytime....not really recommended....but that could be that only way to flash a kernel I guess...or ODin
flash to stock..

You've to use the 3 buttons combo to get into recovery. Take the battery off, press power and the volume buttons, when the vibrant screen shows up, take your finger off the power and keep the other on the volume. TARAAA, you're in recovery.
OK , I understand flashing overstock kernel, allows me to do what I want in recovery. after I finish what I have to do. I need to flash back to a 2.3 based kernel
What kernel do you recommend so that I can use simply galaxy again?
How about the lidroid kernel, it says recovery works and no headset toggle to use? Have you tried lidroid kernel?

No. And I advise you not to either, it could well brick your phone for good with it's bootloader modification. I'd suggest flashing the Gold 2.0 kernel. Then when the phone boots up, flash the beta 7 kernel, using the sgs kernel flasher.

@abu-7abash
will you be kind enough to post me a link to gold 2 kernal and the beta 7 kernel. I tried a search i am not sure if its the correct kernels you mentioned
thanks
There you go, they're attached in the op here
thank you
I noticed you have malice 2.3.1 ,is this a gingerbread rom?
Nope. It's a 2.2.1 one. Im not running it at the moment though, been jumping through 4 roms in the last 24 hours alone, hard to keep up with the sig
based from your experience what is the 2.3 rom that you like best
At the moment it is a classified one, maybe in a day or two it will be posted around here. You'll know it then
In the meantime, SimplyGalaxy is the best around I say.
@abu-7abash
Sorry for all the questions. I went to the link you posted which is Damiangto's forum. I am unable to find the kernel. I registered and I still can not find a download for the kernel
can you guide where in the website it is
thanks
Better yet I attached them for you.
thank you very much.
question:
the simply galaxy has voodoo enabled?
Does thi kernel have voodoo? if it doesn't that mean I have to disable voodoo before flashing these kernels?

why do I have to flash first the gold 2.0 and then flash the beta 7.
can I just flash immediately to beta 7
I am really new for this.
I want to flash CM7 stable to my Samsung Vibrant that currently runs Android 2.2 (stock).
I tried to flash by using Rom Manager so many times but I still have no result.
I really want to flash CM7 with Odin because I have played around with Odin since flashing stock firmware.
So, I hope someone might have a good idea for this.
Thank everyone,

2 options, Odin a voodoo kernel (those have cwm built in, and s easiest if on 2.2) or Odin back to jfd. Those are the easiest.

OK, First of all which Voodoo kernel do you suggest and will this get us 2E recovery afterwards, I'm having the same problem he is, I tried CWM recovery flashing it 3 or 4 times and all I still get is the Samsung 3E[blue] menu, we need the 2E [Green] recovery menu and CWM isn't providing it for some reason on these newer HW locked Vibrants, my old one wasn't HW locked and CWM allowed the 2E recovery right from the get go! These newer phones suck because of this delimna!! OH and BTW JFD didn't help me either!!

Jfd still requires the cwm update.zip, but if you're on 2.2 with 3e, you'll need to Odin a kernel (be it a custom one like immortality or Bali), or search for supercurio's thread where he had a bunch of kernels with cwm built in, bypassing the need for a "working" stock recovery. Google "xda vibrant voodoo kernel" and it should be within the first few links. Also, make sure it's in a .tar and not .zip.

Thanks. It is working for me.
It is a very guide.
Now I can get CM7 on my device.
Everything is ok at the first test including gps.
I don't know yet about battery life.
The problem I had before is ClockworkMod Recovery with 3e.
So, what I have done is to flash kernel by Odin.
The kernel is is below.

I just flash with this kernel and continue to install CM7 by using guideline of CM7.

I got my bell s2 rooted and removed the triangle. Rom manager seem to install the CWR. However, when I boot using the volume up, power, and home button, I always get the android 3e recovery mode, not the CWR. What am I doing wrong? How can I get into CWR to install the cognition rom? THANKS SO MUCH!
I would really appreciate if someone enlightened could explain this as well. I thought cwm wrote over the stock recovery? Its happened to me a few times and I've even had to flash with the damn PC at the convenience store via Odin (I'm a Mac guy) just to get into cwm to restore. If your in the actual stock recovery just three finger salute instead of reboot. Should carry out the command too can't wait to sell this thing and get the nexus. Great phone, just hate Odin and love fast boot lol

It sounds like you've lost root trying get rid of the triangle. Reflash cf root kernel, install your rom then buy a jig to remove the triangle. Jigs are as cheap as chips on ebay.

Don't use rom manager, simply flash the cf-root kernel and you'll have your cwm recovery.

Now I installed a custom rom on and now my samsung apps store is missing! anyone know how i can get it back?
Hello,
My phone was previously running an unofficial version of MIUI and AOSP voodoo kernal. My phone became very buggy and what I was running on was old so I wanted to update to newer things out there today. So I knew I had to disable the voodoo kernel before installing the new ROM but getting into CWM via "Volume up and down and power" didn't seem to be working so I got into CWM using MIUI's reboot option. Unfortunately, this took me to a normal blue CWM so I though huh i guess I don't have voodoo installed then. So I wiped data and cache and attempted to flash the new ROM. about 10% in it rebooted my phone and now it gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo. I actually can now get into the red voodoo CWM for some reason, but I can't disable it because my phone won't boot. Even though I can set it to disable since it won't boot im guessing it wont actually disable.
How can I get my phone back to stock so I can start over?
Thanks.
You need to see droidstyle's guide on flashing rooms and going back to stock. You should not have three fingered into recovery. There us a section there for your particular situation.
