i flashed cwm by romracers method via adb android sdk such and such..
I thought there was a method to get it to be compatible with rom manager? Does anyone know how to get rom manager to do it thing with the photon?
Or is there any work being done to get the compatibility together?
There are links in his thread.

basically ive just rooted my galaxy S 2 but after trying to flash recovery via rom manager you recieve errors,
now ive done some reading and it seems that i need a kernel with CWR in it however rom manger will then not work.
i think the issue is with the android recover not accepting install packages that are not signed or something im not 100% sure.
so simply my question is this, is there a way to keep stock kernel and flash clockwork via rom manger on the SGS2 ?, or can you overwrite the current stock recovery via adb with clockwork ?
new to samsung so i dont really want to do something and risk a brick so i thought id ask first
Yet another .
Rom Manager does not work on SGS 2 End .

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.
As the title says, before I knew not to install Rom Manager, I installed it. I used Rom Manager to install CWM. However, when I try to boot into CWM, I get the "Android system recovery <3e>" in blue lettering. I have uninstalled Rom Manager, but is there anything else I need to do to clean up anything Rom Manager might have done?
thanks
I did it too, not sure if its bad or ok?
It is OKAY to install rom manager and will not create an issue just having it installed. What you cannot do right now correctly is get it to go into cwm correctly on stock roms.
(It works flawless on cm7 and I use it daily or every couple days. I have even used it to back up the STOCK Samsung rom and cm7 roms. I have then in turn went from cm7 back to stock via cwm with the backed up copy I made with rom manager).
Once you see the cwm3 recovery just reboot phone, turn it back off, three finger salute until you see the Samsung galaxy s screen and let go of the buttons. This will get you back to the proper cwm to install roms.

First you need to download this SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar
kernel, here is the link: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Go into download mode and flash with ODIN.
After doing that you need to ROOT the phone using "SuperOneClick" rooter which
can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
Once you get done with these two steps sucessfully you will be good to go and will be able
to flash any custom rom found in this forum. You will also have the CWM recovery screen too.
(notice: I did NOT say anything about rom manager in any of the two above steps )
Good Luck
Thank you very much for your replies. I am currently running a "rooted" stock rom. Are you saying that I will need to re-root the phone after installing SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar?
Thanks for your help.

If you are really are rooted now then just do step #1 afterwards just make
sure that there is an app installed called "superuser" if you cannot find that
app that means that you are not rooted and will need to root again.
Hi Misterjunky
Thank you for your post
I had exact same problem: installed and run ROM manager before read

I had a Optimus One earlier and the way it worked there was flash CWM through ROM manager and no matter what kernel you use CWM would stick.
I wanted to know why in SGSII kernel comes with CWM inside it and does not work
standalone like it works in many other devices.I tried searching for answers but could not.
Thanks.
You can't flash cwm through rom manager because the stock kernel won't allow non-signed zip's, so signature verification has to be disabled in the kernel, i guess the dev's then figure what the hell lets throw cwm into the kernel while we're making a kernel.
Hope you can help me. I rooted my friends phone via odin. When i was about to flash a rom via cwm recovery mode - its opening to a "manual mode", im unable to flash the rom. Hope you can help me with this. Thank You
which rom are you trying to flash via cwm?
did you copy the rom to your internal sd card so that cwm can see it.
I Root phones and install custom ROMs on the side and doing so, I have to find a different method to root and flash CWM for each and every phone. When I had my myTouch 4g, I just flashed CWM with ROM manager and had no issues, but with my G2x, and a customers Sensation, I've had to flash CWM manually and then do it through ROM manager as well if I wanted to use it. Is ROM manager always safe to use to flash CWM recovery? Is it a try it, if it fails, do it manually type thing? How do I know?
