Clockwork Mod Touch - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Need a bit of help here.
I bought the clockworkmod touch yesterday, I flashed it, but when I went into recovery it wasn't touch, so I wiped cache, dalvik cache etc...and then isntalled the update.zip to no avail it said "E: failed to verify whole-signature", I tweeted @clockworkmod, and he said it was because I was using SpeedMod Kernel.
So I moved over to Siyah kernel, installed that fine and restored my data/cache using CWM when it booted. I then try to flash ClockworkMod Touch through ROM Manager, the green bar fills, and then says "Succesfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!"
I click ok, and then go to "reboot into recovery" I'm presented with red text that says:
E:missing bitmap password_highlight (code-1),
E: missing bitmap password_confirm_45 (code-1),
E: Missing Bitmap password_retry_45 (code-1)..."
I'm then presented with:
Installing Package...
Opening Update Package
Verifying Update Package...
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:Signature Verification failed.
Installation aborted
I've then gone into three button method, and tried to apply, /sdcard/update.zip and it comes up:
Finding update package
Opening update package
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
I'm running the following setup:
Model:GT-I9100
Android: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100XXK14
Kernel Version: [email protected] #294
Build number: Gingerbread.XWKJ1
I would like it if I could get this fixed without using Odin, as i'm at work most of the time and because of some stupid drive encrytion I can't put my phone in without encrypting it, BSkyB's rules apparently. I have tomorrow off, so I can if neccesary boot my laptop up and fiddle with odin.
Just wanna get this sorted, I purchased this and wanna use it.
Any help is much appreciated.

You have to wait until devs add this to their kernels/ roms
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app

Is there no kernel that can support it?
I actually don't really care which kernel I use, aslong as it 's Stock rom for now, then I may look at new 4.0 roms/kernels when they've been out a good few more months, and when obviously clockwork mod touch is more commonly added to kernels/roms.

A guess its Rom Manager as SGS2 does not like it .
As this is an app their is a thread in the applications section .

[Q] E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)

When I initiate a Backup Current Rom from Rom Manager Premium v4.3.1.4 the phone will:
Reboot into Android System Recovery <3e> -->
Then have this text on the screen:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And I am left with options to:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I end up rebooting and the phone reboots properly. I am trying to backup my current rom (stock ke7 rooted with odin instructions from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334) so just incase I do something to mess up the phone I can always go back and restore.
Can anyone provide help with this issue??? Go easy on me since I am a recent convert from iOS and this is my first Android device.
I have the sam issue
rom manager isnt completely compatible with the sgs2. Thats why people use alternate methods such as cwm.

Thank you!
Is CWM always included in custom roms?

Not always, but they would state if they do or dont. From what I've seen here on the sgs2 forums, it looks like cwm is included.
The big question is, have you rooted your phone? because unless your phone is rooted, you cant back it up via recovery/cwm.
To root, follow the directions in the FIRST post of this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
it will root your phone, and install cwm recovery, and a cwm app (which has similar functions to rom manager) that is fully compatible with the sgs2.
yeah dats great...chainfire method...
Hi,
Where can I find an how to guide to use this utility???

[Q] Very Much lost in Android System Recovery

So I'm trying to use ROM Manager to flash ROM's onto my Galaxy S 2. Tried to boot the phone into recovery mode using the ROM Manager and I get the message:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
After doing some reading, some mentioned trying to completely uninstall ROM Manager and reinstalling it. Tried that and got the same thing.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPGK20CL342890root at DELL104 #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Anyone got any ideas?
there are plenty of instructions of how to do it in the developers section..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
then flash your desired ROM via Clockword Mod
Edit: it does mention incompatability with Rom Manager.. so flash the ROM you want from CWM (enter CWM by pressing Up on the Volume Key/Power Button/Home key on boot..
If you have already copied your ROM to the SD then go to "install ZIP from SD card", "choose ZIP from SD card" .. then choose the ZIP file of the ROM you want to install and it SHOULD work..
Do Not Use Rom Manager on the SGS2!
You can turn off signature verification, but I suggest downloading your rom again from where you got it and flash it by firstly getting into CWM as described above.
@OP- Signature related error due to unavailable of the Zimage from your rooted kernel. So flash the Zimage from your rooted kernel via CWM.
Regards.

[Q] Problem with CWM 4.0.0.2

Hi there,
recently got my S2 and was looking to put the Cyanogen mod on it. I found the thread to install it but when I get to "step 2, reboot your phone to get into recovery"
I get the text
ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to veriy whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any ideas whats wrong? I googled it and found...
The famous ROM Manager that is usually used to install ClockworkMod Recovery tool is not compatible with the updated Galaxy S due to new kernel Recovery 3e that needs signature verification for flashing external files.
The solution is to replace the kernel based on Recovery 2e that permits installing unverified signature files. Thanks to developer of XDA ‘Chainfire’ who has come up with working tools that lets you install ClockworkMod Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 running the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread (XXJVK) ROM.
Link to this example is: http://www.dkszone.net/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-running-android-2.3.3-gingerbread-xxjvk
Anyone know if this is the ONLY way to install CWM properly or is there another fix?
Signature related error appears when you haven't flashed the zImage of your rooted kernel via CWM. Flash it and it will disappear.
Regards.
how would I accomplish this? I flashed my ROM at the moment by using Odin tools
Your rom lite-ning rom 6.1 should have the proper cwm built in, sounds almost impossible that you're getting this error. Are you booting into cwm through rom manager? Or with Vol up+home+power?
I was trying both methods to get into CWM and got these errors everytime.

Problem with Nandroid backup

I've used CWM quite a few times with great success but having trouble now.
Running Darkyrom 10.4.2 with semaphore kernel on a SGH-T959D, when I try to backup I get the following:
E:failed to mount /dbdata (invalid argument)
--Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
This while trying to do a rom backup. I've just flashed the semaphore kernel the other day, not sure if this is contributing to my problem. I've also tried to reinstall the app but no love. I was able to boot into recovery and do a backup from there however.
Anyone help a brutha out? I'd be very appreciative...
Still trying to figure this out. I've tried wiping cache/data to no avail. Next I reflashed 10.4.2 with a wipe and reinstalled the original kernel. Result is that I'm now able to perform the backup in question.
I'm guessing the reason it wasn't working was because of Semaphore? Does this make sense?
sounds like your in the stock recovery and not cwm recovery.

But I'm trying to backup current rom via ROM Manager? Any idea what I can do to try and fix it? I've actually just reflashed Semaphore to see if it still happens and I'm back to where I started unfortunately.
Seems like the only way I can get to recovery mode is via the following:
Power button menu
Via ROM Manager
I cannot, with either kernel, get into recovery via the 3 button method.
