I can't escape TWRP!
My setup is this:
ROM: THS build 10
Kernel: ICYGlitch v14
Recovery: TWRP (included with ICYGlitch)
Recently, I wanted to flash ParanoidAndroid. I rebooted into TWRP via the power menu, made a backup, and tried to flash. It gave the error E: signature verification failed. Later, I tried turning off signature verification, but then it gave me another error. I then tried to flash cwm4_fixed_for_cm7, but it gave me the same error. Then I tried flashing the recovery through ODIN. It said it succeeded, but it still loads TWRP as the recovery. Help! I can't escape!
P.S. I know my way around the Fascinate, I'm not a complete noob.
try flashing cm7, then back to ICS, ...if all else fails odin back to stock start over.
Maybe
That would work, but I'd rather keep the Glitch kernel and stay on THS than start over. And there must be a way to change the recovery included with Glitch?
Let us know how that turns out for you. Good luck.

flash a older version of glitch that still utilizes cwm recovery. check my kernels section of the guide.
That would work except for the fact that I cannot flash anything from TWRP.

odin cwm4 fixed for cm7, then three finger and flash away.
Wait. Doesn't three-fingering on a MTD filesystem bootloop you?
at this point just odin back to stock and start over

I figured it out. I was able to flash an older version of Glitch with CWM recovery.
How did you flash an older version of glitch in cwm if you were stuck in twrp? I though you couldnt flash anything. I am confused???
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Sorry. I meant TWRP. Here is the procedure that I used. I don't know if it is necessary, but it worked.
1. make a nandroid
2. restore to stock
3. ODIN cwm
4. install THS build 1
5. install THS 10 (substitute whatever ROM you're using)
6. install newest Glitch (with TWRP)
7. restore nandroid
8. install older, CWM glitch
I think this works because nandroids don't restore the recovery partition.
I was having instability with the older Glitch version, so I flashed the newer version again, and I can still flash stuff.
Okay. I got it now. I thought the whole reason you didn't want to start over was because you didn't have a backup of your current setup. That is why people were saying that you were going to have to start over.
Glad it worked out.

I was sent a Fascinate as a Droid Incredible replacement. I was able to root it without a hitch but now my CWM can't mount anything. Won't mount anything can't bring up any logs. I am using the CM7 Clockwork and my phone is now bricked and I'm tired of using Odin to restore it and root it again then flash CWM and CM7, I lose all my games and free apps which I have to download again.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, are you using atlas.pit when odining to stock? After doing what does the phone stop working entirely (IE does the phone boot up CM7 and then brick, or can it not load CM7 at all)? Can you run stock without your phone breaking?

Yeah. I can work on stock just great.
What is the best rooting method to use if I plan on using CM7?
What I do is use Super One Click to root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682), then flash the custom CM7 CWM, and then flash CM7 in the custom recovery after wiping data, cache, and dalvik.
Use the CM7 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190668
Do I use the recovery in that thread? I've been using that one as well. I will re download the rom then.
Yes. Here are the exact steps from that thread after rooting with SuperOneClick:
Start with a rooted device (do not ask us how to do this).
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery attached to this post.
Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Wipe Data! Seriously! Do it!
Install the ROM zip from sdcard
Install gapps package linked here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps)
Alright. Let me try that again now. I just put the Nightly #8 on my SDCARD
Flashed it through the recovery, it's at the Samsung logo now. I am going to leave it there for a bit and see if that changes.
Yeah. It's stuck at the logo. I reboot into recovery and I get the log errors. That's 6 Odin resets today.
Make sure you use atlas.pit when restoring to stock. If you are following those directions exactly, all I can say at this point is to try another ROM (maybe MIUI or OMGB) and see if that works, unless another poster wants to take a stab at this.
Yeah, I'm using the atlas 2.2.pit
I had it working yesterday but only if I flashed the rom using the orange recovery through ROM Manager. I might try that again.

I think the nightly might be your problem?...my $.02...and there are a lot of extra steps but it works for me if I really can't get cm7 to load (I've done this more then once)
Odin eb01 with the atlas 2.2pit and reboot fully when odin is done.
Pull battery...Odin cwm 3/30 fix all..and when that's done, install battery and 3 finger salute into recovery....wipe everything and flash com rom 2.0 and reboot.
This is where you may have to try different recoveries, putting com rom on your phone gives you root, recovery and voodoo. So from here if your recovery doesn't properly flash cm7 you can simply pull the battery re odin a different recovery and try again, as long as you don't try to reboot the phone.
Make sure you are using the 7/17 build from, jt's pretty much official cm7 Thread, not the nightly. even if this is not what you want it should properly get you to mtd format, so another rom on an mtd build can just be flash the good old way.
I've had the cwm4.x.x.x work fine and then today it would not work after I flash a different kernel with out wiping anything...oops! I've had 3/30 fix all cwm give me the best results but even today would not work.
What did work was using the com rom recovery to flash times infinity's purple recovery zip...reboot recovery into the purple one, and then wipe everything and flash cm7 7/17...ugh finally! Once I was there just power button menu... reboot recovery to install gapps, and glitch. You could at this point wipe cache and dalvik and flash nightly if you wanted...hope some of this helps.

I've had the same problem tryin to flash all mtd based roms...it always sticks at the samsung logo when I three finger back to recovery. I get the error logs aswell...**** sucks lol. That's odining ed05, fully boot, odin cwm 4 fix for cm7, boot recovery, wipe data,cache, dalvick, install rom.zip, all for a samsung logo and log error lol. So instead of spending 5hrs trying to flash a rom, I spent 10min and flashed power wash ed05, works great!

Did you install ROMManager and install CWM from there? If that's the case it won't work. I did the same thing and it kept on getting the same error you have. Start the root process from step 1 and don't install RomManager. Flash CM7 by booting into CWM using the 3 button boot.
i now have root but with stock recovery 3e. how do i get cwm recovery now. thanks. btw, what is the three button boot.
You have to flash your recovery image using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
Hold down Volume Up/Down and power until the Galaxy S2 screen comes up, then let go of power to get into CWM (CWM = ClockworksMod)
Toggling in the cwm menu worked for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If you used ROM Manager - don't.
Flash a kernel that has CWM (either codeworkx's or mine) using Odin/Heimdall, then enter recovery using the three-finger salute.
If you use ROM Manager's recovery, nothing will work right.
cwm
i have cwm installed via kernel. i do the 3 button boot and get to cwm. i also toggled signature to disabled. when i try to install cm7 over stock rooted image it aborts. doesn't say signature verification failed, something about buildprop. thanks.

Most likely you're trying to flash an I9100 build and not the correct CM7 build for our device (I777).
correct
i believe you are correct. can not find the full cm7att zip. only the update and when installed, it locks at the samsung s II logo. then have to restore my stock backup. thanks.
CM7.1 just got released into stable. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2att
That's for the ATT version. You can flash that.
tried that
that is the one that locks it up, it is an update, i need full. thanks.
I am also having the same exact issue with the verification.

Official release zips are marked as "update" even when they're a full release, mainly because they're no-wipe I think.
The build system names it "update" even when it's full. The 100 MB file size should be a hint that it's not just an update...
I also had this problem, but I used Rom Manager to flash cwm, which I shouldn't have. Flashed back to stock, re-rooted, reflashed CWM the correct way and have no problems.
I really don't know who to credit for this, so if your reading this Credits to you! Koush & CM obviously too!
I repacked CWM4 & CWM5 to solve the three finger recovery loop dilemma...
Flash cwm4-repack after each ROM flash to solve the three finger boot loop issue.
If you three fingered and need to flash a CM7 based ROM, you can simply wipe data and proceed to flash. If you need to flash a CM9 based ROM, simply flash aokp-cm9-recovery first, then go to advanced/reboot recovery to reboot to the updated recovery. From there wipe and flash your chosen CM9 ROM. (Always Remember to flash cwm4-repack directly after to break the recovery loop..)
When you reboot it may take you to recovery, just choose reboot now and your ROM should continue booting!
With these two zips and your chosen ROM, you should be able to flash on the go again without fear or break your existing install!
Update:
It seems most of the newer CM7 builds will require the same procedure as flashing a CM9 ROM.. (flash aokp-cm9-recovery first, then go to advanced/reboot recovery to reboot to the updated recovery. From there wipe and flash your chosen CM7 rom...)(Always Remember to flash cwm4-repack directly after to break the recovery loop..)
I have not tested any of the above combinations with twrp! Use at your own Risk! I also recall twrp having something about an injection feature of some kind that may be useful for that...

How to use these to upgrade from stock/rooted stock to ICS Rom of choice!
If pure stock you obviously need a CWM recovery installed so odin/heimdall cwm all or cwm4 fix!
Reboot recovery
wipe data
flash cwm4fix-no_assert
reboot
wait until samsung logo blinks, then pull battery
three finger into recovery
wipe again to be safe
install ICS Rom of choice
It will reboot twice, once to update recovery and proceed installing and once more when it's done!
09/30/12 (Mainly a JellyBean reference)
Easily switch between ROMS and the different partition layouts!
Reboot to recovery and flash cwm4-fix, power the phone down (might need to pull battery) and three finger back into recovery!
Wipe data, flash chosen GB,ICS, or any partion JB ROM from any order! (ie: downgrade or upgrade)

If you download, power off, three finger and flash cwm4-repack and reboot it should break the boot loop and continue booting your ROM (However sometimes when updating the recovery it will automatically reboot to recovery, reboot now if this happens). Assuming ICS...
Also if you power down, three finger, do nothing and reboot, your phone will actually reboot! Assuming you already flashed cwm4-repack...

Sorry....never went back to twrp. With the new devil kernal, I've been playing too much to want to try anything different. On a side note, I went back to the glitch kernal this morning (experiment) and had issues with trying to get the Rom to load and then actually had to go the three fingered route. This worked great once I followed your directions EXACTLY!
Note to anyone else.....if you are flashing a Rom that requires gapps, make sure you flash the cwm-4 repack right after the Rom....BEFORE the gapps. Loop doesn't break if you try to slip the gapps in there too soon I found.
WOW this will be super helpful.

Well, my apologies for mis-leading. However I did just repeat the above steps exactly, coming from Geewiz EH03 to a today built build 40! Perhaps a limitation against pure stock?
If this was stock and you are put in the position again, you could try flashing a non stock kernel after a odin/heimdall of cwm of course! I suppose this could be an issue... Maybe?
so, I've been searching around and apparently haven't found the right search term.
Why does the 3 finger boot screw things up in cwm 5?
How does one cold start into the recovery? I finally got ics on my trusty fascinate.

Technically it isn't needed! CWM4 is all I have been using for JB so far. Works perfect to break the 3 finger curse and also to downgrade the recovery for better JB flashing in some scenario's.
Truth be told I only need heimdall now once in a blue moon and that is always because of something I'm trying. :silly:
I still posted it though as I figure it may come in handy at some point or at least have an odin/heimdall alternative. In OP for those in seeking...
Also while getting this together for you guys, I noticed the files in the OP are pushing close to a 1,000 downloads. Yet only 9 people have thanked me.
Has this not been useful? Just Curious...
I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?
Anyone? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated

Before your phone boots after installing cwm in Odin do a battery pull then boot into recovery （Volume Up+Home+power) then flash your superuser/root package. It will stick then.

Try flashing CWM recovery again using Heimdall or Odin. Once it boots into recovery, flash TWRP or another recovery of your choice, then reboot and hopefully you will see your boot animation. That's what I did to get AOKP build 40 to boot again (though strangely enough, it's stuck with Devil recovery even after flashing TWRP). Hope this helps you guys out. And be sure to make backups!

You should be able to mount your SD card in recovery anyway. If not, take it out and insert it into an adapter to plug into your computer. I don't know if there's an Odin version of TWRP, I flashed it in CWM recovery.
I would read droid styles guide first if you have not yet as it has all the answers you will need. You just need to read through it and following the directions.

There is nothing wrong with the phone. I don't understand why you can't just Odin back to stock and start over. With the amount of time you have been stuck in recovery you could have fixed it by now. It you could follow droid styles guide to get out of the recovery loop without going back to stock. Something tells me you really just want a new phone...am I close???

Don't you belong in a different section?
Anyway, sorry for getting snippy, I was just really tired and frustrated. I did use the .zip from the forums.
If you've already tried Heimdall-flashing CWM again, and that didn't work, then I suggest you Odin back to stock as shelby suggested. If you haven't made a nandroid already, do so, then revert back to stock and start from scratch. You can try restoring your nandroid once you're no longer stuck in recovery.

I have a mez and I just got the sgs3 a little while ago. You need to check out section 8 or 9 I think of the guide. It tells you exactly how to get out of your situation.

There's also a topic about the "three-finger recovery boot loop" fix. You could try that.
