You tried to flash a custom what? Rom or kernel?
Have you done ANY searching or reading of the stickies before you jumped into modding your phone? If you are unfamiliar with 3e recovery you have no business attempting any mods just yet. Start reading and learn before doing.
hmm, I'm trying to flash a Rom in e3 recovery mode...I just followed the thread how to flash in CMW but somehow I wouldn't let me..

Before any of these read...
If you got some type of error, you might just need to re-download the rom again. you could've just gotten a bad download.
1) Flash recovery
2) Flash Rom
3) Done

And they wonder what makes us so grumpy.
3e recovery can't flash anything except files that Samsung has signed, you need to use CWM. You cannot use ROM Manager to install CWM.
I suggest reading the FAQ thread.

Hello! I installed a mod for my Samsung Galaxy SII so I could overclock the CPU to 1.5Ghz. Since I'm new here I can't post the link to the tutorial I followed. But you can just search "Samsung Galaxy S2 how to overclock to 1.5GHz" and select the search result from "androidng". I don't think it matters anyway. It says that I have the kernel version "2.6.65.8-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #59". Now I want to install CyanogenMod for it and I've already downloaded ROM Manager Premium 4.8.0.6 and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which removed the default recovery mode from Samsung / Google. But when I try to install the ROM from my SD card in the recovery mode it says "failed to verify whole-file signature". Is it possible to get rid of the ClockworkMod Recovery and get the stock recovery back that enable me to flash over USB with Odin. It seems like a lot of people have that error but I can't find any answer to solve it. Someone suggested to disable signature verification but I can't find it, I think it is in an earlier version. Will the "factory reset" option in the menu reset everything to Samsung's stock ROM without the recovery mode and will it backup files, settings and apps? (Probably it is not working either because nothing on that menu works except restart)
Sounds to me like you still have stock recovery, you're not going to get CWM recovery from ROM manager.
I don't know what the CWM recovery is but I'm sure I don't have the stock recovery. The stock recovery from Samsung don't have that menu that says "Android System Recovery <3e>, on the stock recovery it says "Downloading... Do not turn off target" and has a big Android image.

Yes, yes it does. What you're describing is download mode.
Ah. I thought the volume up did the same as the volume down. I started the phone in downloader mode now but I still don't know how to get rid of the "failed to verify whole-file signature" error.
Considering you're trying to install CM7, read the FAQ thread in this very forum carefully. One of the first instructions is to flash a specific kernel which includes CWM recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
You should flash a cf root kernel this will give you all you need including cwm manager which allows you to reboot straight into clockwork recovery.

I'm having the same problem. Here's what I did though...
I rooted with CF-Root and then flashed back to stock Kernel and root has remained. Now when I go to boot into CWM Recovery I get the "failed to verify signature" error on the screen that says Android recovery <3e>.
Is it because I flashed back to stock Kernel that this is happening?

Where in the instructions to install CM7 does it say to do anything with stock kernel or CF-root kernel? Hint: it doesn't. Follow the instructions to the letter, they're not there to look pretty, they're meant to be followed.
Also, a 5 second search would tell you that Android recovery 3e is not CWM recovery.

When you flash from CF-Root back to a stock Kernel, you LOSE root. You will still have the CWM app but you will notice that superuser is missing.

Nope. Unless there's some weird exception for me. But I kept root after going back to stock Kernel. Superuser is there and all my apps requiring root function as they should.

I had the same problem bought ROM Manager expecting my phone to reboot and CM7 would install but it dosen't well not the first time anyway. You need to install CM7 manually via Clockwork Recovery, once CM7 is installed you can then use ROM manager to install other ROM's but since there have been no nightly builds from November it seems that ROM Manager was £4 down the drain.

Something is odd with mine then. I've flashed every XW and XX frankenstein ROM and each time I did the kernal flash dance in order to remove the warning triangle. When I flashed the stock kernel back in, I always lost root. Superuser disappeared and Tegrak overclock gave me the error that root access was not available each time.

Hi, I had the same problem you did when trying to do the nandroid backup. It was giving me validation signature error. I noticed that you have solved your problem by flashing the stock kernel?? Can you please refer me the link how to do this? Sorry, I was trying to find the solution for a long time and did not have any luck.
My concern is that if I only have instruction how to do the backup through the CMW recovery, but I don't have access due to this error message. Is there a way to flash stock kernel via odin or something else?
Thanks in advance.

So i did a quick search and couldnt really find anything on the Q&A forums about this...so here goes
i just installed the UCLD3 kernel no problem on my i717. however when i go into CWM and try to install the new CM9 mod that is posted in development i get "signature verification failed". I cant find any way to disable signature verification (since even in the title of the thread it SAYS its unsigned, and i understand that) so that it will install anyway.
what can i do?
p.s. hello forums. first post although i peruse these forums all the time
One of two things
In clockwork there should be an option to toggle signature verification if I'm not mistaken
Or you have a bad download
But I'm pretty sure its the first
Look in advanced in CWM
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
in my old kernel i had an advanced tab in CWM, but since i just updated to UCLD3 now there is no advanced button. i only have
reboot system
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
and thats it. its probably not the download since they already say its "unsigned". I just dont know how to get CWM to not check for the signature...
is CWM independent of the kernel and i can reinstall it or is there another way?

Yes, cwm.is seperate from the kernel, what you have if 3e recovery (stock recovery)
NOT cwm at all.
Grab cwm here

No need to flash stock rom.
Just flash Siyah kernel (.tar) via ODIN (This will give you custom recovery) then wipe data and flash custom rom of your choice. It will come pre-rooted and with its own custom kernel which you can then replace with Siyah again or other kernel of your choice.

when u have problem like this the best way is to flash a 'Stock ICS v4.0.3' firmware on ur phone using 'ODIN' to have a clean flash and booting of ur phone
then u can simply flash the tar version of 'Siyah kernel v4.1.5/5.0.1' again from 'Odin' in dwnld mode to automatically root ur phone and install latest CWM recovery, which can be used to install the custom rom of ur choice

He has no need to do that. As I said above all he have to do (If they want custom rom) is flash kernel like Siyah via download mode then flash custom rom in recovery. No need to flash stock unless thats the rom you want.

And that is exactly what has been advised. What's your point?
The user only has access to download mode so is assuming he has to use download to flash rom. It sounds like he isnt aware that he can easily restore his recovery via flashing a kernel. It also sounds like the user wants to use a custom rom otherwise he would already know that he can flash stock via download.
This is why its been advised to flash kernel via download instead of rom. That way once he has his recovery back he can simply reboot into cwm and carry on where/how he wishes like for example flashing his normal/preferred rom via zip like usual.
Read this thread again and see if he can actually perform a kernel flash just to get to cmw so he can go flash a stock rom.
Here's the answer: yes he could.
now...wouldn't it be better if he flashes a stock rom, take a long breath as he realizes he's not bricked (read the topic) and then flas a stock rom when he's sure about giving it another try?
read beyond the words kid, beyond the words
TheATHEiST said:
No.
He has no reason to flash a stock rom unless he specifically wants a stock rom. If he does then yes he can simply flash stock rom as normal but its my guess that he wants a custom rom since he was asking how he can flash a ZIP.
If that is the case then flashing a stock rom (.tar) would be a complete waste of time and it would be much quicker to simply flash kernel like Siyah and reboot into recovery and then even restore a backup if he has one or just flash a rom zip from card.
Oh and stop trying to sound patronizing, I'm 30 years old and no "kid".
@ OP
If you want a stock rom then read one of teh many topics we already have on stock roms/how to flash them.
If you want to use custom ones via cwm then simply flash Siyah kernal and then reboot into recovery and then do as your normally would.

Hey,
As i don't have enough posts i have to make thread in to this silly Q&A board.
1. I have completely stock p4 (p7500) tablet with 4.0.4 android. I am wondering
is it possible to install he's/her's rom directly without rooting or do i have to
flash some other recovery with Odin before i can install recommended TWRP
recovery.
2. As the tablet is completely stock i haven't rooted it, but as with all tablet tutorials
they always flash some recovery with Odin before rooting. With stock recovery
i get these errors.
"Unknown volume path for /sdcard" so i simply can't install recovery from original named zip file.
Mr. google doesn't really help with the subject
When trying to
<code>
adb push twrp.zip /sdcard/update.zip
</code>
It simply says that action is denied, probably because i haven't rooted the tablet.
Instructions on dev forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777161
are quite short and doesn't say anything about coming from stock rom/recovery.
So is it possible to do this straight from stock recovery or do i have to pull some
fancypancies before i can use desired recovery / rom.
Waiting for reply.

First flash custom recovery(twrp) with odin. Then using your custom recovery flash your root.zip or whatever the rooting zip file is named. That will get your tab rooted. But you should be able to install your custom rom with just the custom recovery installed as the rom is already rooted.

So really only way is to flash custom recovery with Odin. After that rooting is kind of useless,
most rom installation scripts have root access or superuser integrated.
And no developer doesn't provide recovery that is flashable via odin so that's why i was asking
if it is even possible to do from stock recovery.
Any experience of using heimdall with p4?

if it is even possible to do from stock recovery.
Any experience of using heimdall with p4?

After flashing, flash TWRP 2.7.1.0 and reboot to recovery again. Then you can start flashing custom ROMs.

Or else i have to adb push files to root?
So as everyone seem to ignore completely question about can you flash custom recovery from android stock recovery
and goes yapping about Odin i assume it cannot be done. It's just extra hassle and no i ain't fan of Odin, means that
i have to use windows intended programs on linux. F**k my life!

No, you CANNOT flash zips with stock recovery. Happy?
And you didn't said that you had Linux instead of windows which is why you were told to use Odin.

You asked for a recovery that could be flashed with Odin, so I gave you that link.

Finally straight answer. Yes, very happy.
Just for the record they can be flashed through stock recovery. Little harder than expected, but possible.
When mounted you can get to root folder and simply rename your zip file to update.zip and place it
in to /sdcard/ directory. In my case internal storage of the phone was found at /mnt/sdcard/.
Should also work if update.zip is placed in to /cache/ directory of the phone.

I didn't ask recovery that could be flashed via odin, but i did ask if anyone had experience of
using heimdall. Perhaps that qualifies as odin in some universe.

Yeah, i did miss comma there, at the "and no, developer..." but still can't see where i asked link for recoveries. Still repeating question
if it can be done from stock recovery.
We could argue about semantics all day here, there just ain't any point in it. Got my answer.
