Cant boot CWM?? plz help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

heay guys im trying to install cm9 but i cant boot into cwm, im on stock gingerbread with kernel DCKK2. I used Rom manager to install cwm, this error message comes up,
E: failed to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed
and what makes it worse was i download a program that was meant to flash cwm and it installed a driver onto my phone and now my phone isnt detected by odin either -_- (the driver was called zadig)
and yes i used search and couldn’t find any solutions that worked for me..
plzzz help mee

I think the first thing you should do is make a new thread in the wrong part of the forums, rather than posting in/reading the CM9 discussion thread.
Then, ignore all the advice about not using Rom Manager.
Next, don't search for that error either, as you might find out that you have 3e recovery, not CWM recovery.
Finally, lie about searching.
Oh, damn, you already did all that. I'm lost for your next step then. Probably retaliating against me and telling me how unhelpful I am.

i will destory u

Flash a new kernel of chainfire trust me it will help
I know this problem dont use rom manager flash it with Odin
Goodluck

[Q] Problem Loading Clockworkmod

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.
search modified 3e recovery... or go back to stock 2.1. Check my signature links if you need more help.

+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

[Q] CWM signature verification failure

Hi, I am obviously very new considering this is my first post. I have done many searches to try to fix this as well. I have a gs2 with kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100UHKG7. Build # is GINGERBREAD.UHKG7. I rooted my phone via ODIN and corresponding cf-root. I am simply trying to install cm7 or another custom ROM but when i boot into CWM i get the signature verfication failure. I have now learned i should not use ROM manger to install roms apprently but i wasnt sure how to push them to the sd card or if it is already there since i downloaded via ROM manager. If someone could tell me how to fix signature issue since it seems easier to intall via ROM manger or just tell me how to go about it another way (CWM manually)
Thanks for putting up with my noobness
q/a section is here
Connect the phone to a usb cable and copy the rom onto the phone, boot into cwm recovery by pressing vol+up/home/power button when its off and select install zip from sd card and look for the rom that you copied over.
Under the recovery menu, go to advanced, and turn signature verification off. Is easy...

[Q] Hyperdroid - Problems flashing a surgeon

Hey guys, i don't usually make posts for every question i have, unless i absolutely don't find an answer searching or googling. I find myself in the position where i want to customize my Hyperdroid ROM and i can't manage to install DOC's Surgeon.
I think maybe the file i find in AndroidMeda Rom Tool is just an update, and not a full release, but being a noob is difficult, and i really didn't managed to pass this!
So, long story short, how can i flash a surgeon that is on androidmeda rom tool? I tried the Surgeon_Lucid_v5.0.zip and i can't get through, it fails to install under recovery mode.
I would very much appreciate a solution to my dumb question, hope i don't irritate somebody.

You should download again, and apply the surgeon in the rom tool!

When installing multi-csc it says the following (also in android system recovery):

Have you changed the kernel from the one that comes with Hyperdroid? As the OTA tool will only work automatically with the kernel the rom comes with.
If so you will need to download the file via the OTA tool, find where it saves, should be somewhere in the SD card (Hint /sdcard/Hyperdroid_Androidmedia)
Reboot into CWM recovery
Flash the zip manually.

even if you changed kernels you can still flash stuff that you download from the OTA tool. So say you want to download Docs surgeon. Download it through the OTA app and then rather than apply now press apply later. Then try and get into recovery..there install zip and go through the folder were it says hyperdroid androidmeda...there you have all the files you have downloaded and just flash like you would normally do something...But only use this if you want to change kernels..My advice is the same as the guy above posted..Use the kernel provided by the team and you should not have any problems flashing stuff through the OTA app...
It worked fine, thank you again. Now i figured, indeed the change of my kernel led to that conflict.
Cheers guys!

Huh, I didn't think about you changed the kernel. Pongster's HDK kernel is very good, don't change that in my opinion.
So, Im glad that your problem solved.

Flash & Root Question.

As A Noob here im a small bit confused.
Was going to follow this link Complete Noobs Guide but some of the links in that guide dont work anymore.
So then I came across this Video and seems too easy to do
Is the video the same thing as the noobs guide?
If it is, and I follow the video, what Rom is the best one to use.
Just looking for a stable rom, good looking and saves battery.
Thank you, great website.
Rom is your choice, yes it's so simple it takes literally a couple of mins, it took me longer to dl the files needed than to root
Personally i use the rom in my sig - Neo is the dogs bollocks
Thanks for the help.
Think I have everything sorted, last thing is do I need an SD card for this.
Dont think I do but just want to make sure before start.
Nope you can just use internal memory...
As far as I know you don't need an SD card. I rooted mine last night and was really surprised how easy it is. Literally a 5 minute process (including flashing the sensation ROM). After reading up on here I used this thread and this page which has an easy to follow, summarised guide below the video.
It was a lot easier than I expected but to be far the last device I rooted was a HTC and so didn't know what to expect without it being locked.
If you run into any problems just search for the solution as so many people have rooted I'm pretty sure everything will have been covered.
Make sure you have a insecure kernel>use SuperOneClick to root>flash CWM>put ROM on sd>boot in CWM recovery>wipe data & cache & dalvik cache> install from sd>ROM of choice>do it twice just to be safe! You're done. If you need any additional help browse/search xda forums. If you need any additional help let me know!
Ok successfully rooted and placed a kernel on the phone.
Before I put on a new ROM, I wanted to get rid of the yellow triangle.
I found this page but all the files are on mega upload which is currently down at the minute.
Any ideas how I can get a stock kernels to remove the yellow triangle?
I just seen he has updated all the links. Great news.
Just read on the last comments and im now confused.
Does the link in the previous comment fix the yellow triangle?
yellow triangle indicate that you have not a stock kernel on your phone,
normally flash a stock one and the triangle will go away,
I have not searching deep to get rid of the triangle with any kernel but ways seems to be possible.. posts on dev forum answer this
a usb jig is fine and the simple one I think, but you have to make or buy it..
try the V3RTR3MA 4.6 from the android development forum here
its one of the best roms i've ever flashed
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Why are you even bothered by it? U only see it on boot up
Because its very easy to get rid of.
All I need is a original Kernel.
I downloaded one and the image file is a MD5 file?
Is that correct?
Yes. 10 ch

You dont have CWM recovery (stock recovery wont flash custom rom zips), go do some more reading before you flash a rom so you understand what you are getting into, FAQ's here.

[Solved] Yay another soft brick/bootloop!

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.

Cant see my apps but when I first flashed CWM and was able to see my screen there was a SU app on my home screen because I DLed it from the market.

Yup, thats the one I flashed, its working and I get a successful message when I flashed SU so I assume its there also. Any recommendations of a rom to try and flash? Still hanging at the samsung screen.....
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.

I got my CWM from the link you posted but the rom I am iffy about. Any suggestions for a rom to try and flash? something stable?
EDIT: going to try and flash this rom and modem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801689
Downloading now..... Sloooooowly. lol
Holy McCrappy dance!
Okay... so I flashed the stock ATT with odin. just at start screen now.... Don't think it is rooted so now.... How do I get back to telus and root right the first time?
Edit: so it appears the ATT rom was a GB ver so I am assuming that I was somehow reverted to GB instead of my stock ICS. Now to try and flash a stock Telus GB rom, update then try to root.... AGAIN! Thank gawd I don't have a $600 paperweight now!
Thanks everyone
I recommend this rom:

I would like my ota ICS back but I guess no bother huh? I am back on the stock telus GB and for some reason it wont let me update to ICS anyway.... LOL
Might as well root it up and go go go!
Thanks again Ranger.
WOW! that pure stock is a big ole file! lol
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
