it's my first time to write something and i m even good at English. well, long story short. i've flashed several Wanam rom since the ics and recently when i flashed the Wanam v3.0, i find something wrong that every time i use CWM, it always reminds me like the pic shows, so i came here for help, what should i do now?View attachment 1311680
What CWM are you using? It only works with the CWM chainfire has provided in his CF-root package.
Requires CF Root version 5 to work with CWM manager from original dev section .

CWM is not compatible with Jelly Bean regardless of which recovery you have.
I still have chainfires CWM recovery anf get the same error because I'm running a JB rom.

thanks, now i know whats the problem since i m running JB too
I had the problem also - I now use CF-Root and ROM Manager - at least I think I still use CF-Root - with Mobile Odin it re-roots, adds SuperSU and itself into the ROM I flash. A new ROM usually gets a message from Odin about needing to download something to let it flash my device that is about 6MB so I guessed that is CF-Root.
With ROM Manager you can flash CWM, restart into Recovery without bothering with the 3 finger salute, (Vol-Up+Menu+Power) and also flash CWM Touch - meaning you can use the touch screen in recovery instead of all those key presses. I haven't gone Premium on RM yet but I am planning to...

OK, I know this has been asked before but I can't actually find a working answer! Installed rom manager last night, didn't work I assume because of 3e recovery. Installed latest FW for SII and loaded CF-Root - still didn't work. Re-flashed (I assume that was OK?) with speedmod - still doesn't work. Is there a working solution to get rom manager working?
Sorry, I'm not an expert so it may well have been answered but I didn't understand the solution
IIRC Rom Manager needs CWM recovery.
So flash a kernel that contains the CWM recovery instead of the original (3e) one.
Like, for example, CF-Root (CF-Root doesn't work with Rom manager), my one (v sig v - but not sure if it works, never tried, would be cool if you could and tell me ) or the CWM kernel from the CWM-initramfs-template thread in the dev section.
//EDIT
a few corrections
It does indeed need CWM recovery. Installed CF-Root but as you say, it doesn't work. Also tried speedmod but that doesn't seem to do much either!
Now, if I flash with yours for example, can I literally just flash over what I have now? I did that this morning with CF->Speedmod and my phone has already crashed once. Or is there a correct way to re-flash, such as putting the phone back to stock first?
I **think** its working as your kernel allowed me to turn off image verification and so ROM Managers update.zip seemed to install OK. Backup started anyway.
So.... the phone rebooted after backup by itself, is that normal? And, I assumed the backup would be on the SD card - it appears to be on the phone though under \clockworkmod\backup\ - is that right? Is that everything on the phone backed up (apps, settings, layout)? Can I restore that if I trash the phone completely?
Edit: OK, don't think its worked. When I reboot its still trying to install update.zip and failing :-(
Yeah like other posters have said, you'll need to flash a CWM kernel. chainfires kernels have CWM so I'd guess you're not actually flashing the kernel..

OK, put Hellcats kernel back on, didn't try and install any updates from Rom Manager and just got it to download a new rom. Rebooted phone and it instantly fails to install. Select install from zip, turn of verification and it worked!
Now, I see some features such as BLN support have now gone, I assume because the rom updated the kernel - can I now reflash the Hellcats kernal or could that screw the rom up?
To use rom manager flash this kernel
As it wont work with chainfires tweaked clockworkmod recovery in CF-root.
BLN is a kernel thing, if you want BLN use a BLN kernel, for example Ninphetamine (mysig) and use the CWM manager app you can find if you search the forum.
ROM manager will ONLY work with codeworx's kernel and that doesnt have BLN etc.
Thanks veyka - I'm a bit confused what Rom Manager is actually is doing (or needs to be able to do) now. Is it just trying to install a modified CWM?
As I say, using Hellcats kernel which has CWM built in already, I was able to use Rom Manager to download a new rom then manually install with CWM. So I'm not sure what Rom Manager 'working' would actually add to that?
And as per my question a few posts up, now I have a new rom installed (TK-Rom for now), can I happily change the kernel and have no issues?
Hello everybody,
First I'd like to thank to community for the hard work. I v read a countless amount of pages of this forum and I can't even imagine the time people spent helping on issues or writing tutorials.
So thank you if you re up to spend few minutes on my specific case (and sorry for the bad english).
Here is my device and the different version of kernel ...
1/ Rooting my device (tutorial in french translated from xda)
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/guide-rooter-son-galaxy-s2-39763841.htm
S-Root version used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Everything went pretty well when I rooted the GS2. I got the Superuser app so i figure it's ok.
I just used a modified kernel found on xda who was corresponding the my base band version (just the PDA in Odin).
2/ Installing a new ROM (Cyanogenmod by Rom Manager)
I followed : http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/ and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide (official guide) using Rom Manager premium.
When i tried to reboot in Recovery (manually or with Rom Manager), i can't find the "Install the zip" option, I have 4 available: "Update from the zip", the 2 wiping/delete options and the reboot.
So obviously if i try to wipe files, wipe the cache then to update with the zip I have the following Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
Do you have any idea what went wrong in the process ?
Should i flash the phone withOdin and change my base band version to another one ?
For info, I did the Permission Fix option in Rom Manager too. Didnt help.
Thanks a lot.
U need clockworkmod instaled first..

You didn't install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Thanks for theses answers but I think I installed it with Rom Manager and i flashed it to the last version.

When i reboot in recovery mode here is the only options available (and it's the problem i pointed out) :

As we've already said, you haven't installed CWM Recovery. You see at the top of your second photo where it says "Android system recovery (3e)"? That's stock recovery.
you can't install CWM recovery thru ROM manager.
just flash the CF Root Kernel for KI4 thru ODIN , you will have CWM recovery.
Hmm I understand about the CWM version I'm booting with, but as you can see on the first capture, my kernel version is a modified one i got after using Odin (puting this Kernel : GT-I9100_XXKI4_insecure.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).
I got the root access by S2 Root.
Ok I think I installed only the Kernel and not CF Root available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I ll try to redo Odin and stuff and let you know if I'm still alive.
So it's not great right now. I have installed CF Root with Odin, so I had CWM on my phone (I could see the application). Then after reboot with CWM Recovery and installing Cyanogenmod, the phone doesnt want to start anymore.....
I tried to apply the insecure kernel again with Odin but still impossible to download. I'm stuck on the screen with the yellow sign and written Galaxy S2.
HALP !!
I just tried to put back the official firware version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and put it in my phone with Odin.
Ok, I dont have the yellow sign anywore but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen (where it's written Samsung GALAXY s II)...
What should I try ?
I'm still able to boot with CWM recovery but I didn't make any backup and nothing work.
Do you think the phone is dead ?
5 posts in a row?
So, just to clarify, you've tried to install CM7, which amongst other things tells you to do a nandroid backup, and also to flash twice in succession. Did you do either of these things? The instructions are there to be followed, don't just ignore them.
Ok my bad I didn't backup anything because I had no data to backup. This was maybe a bad move...
Anyway, I tried to flash it twice yes. Right now, i'm working with a modified Kernel (with CF Root), and booting in CWM Recovery. When I want to flash again by installing from the .zip I get a Satus 7 Error.
In CWM, every advanced options are apparently available but I dont know anything about them.
And just so you know, on my SD Card i have 1 update.zip and the update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2.... .zip from Cyanogen.

Flash a stock rom with Odin and then root your phone again. Start reading and follow procedures when you want to flash custom roms again .See Intratechs`s thread for a stock rom
Thanks for your reply.
I did it, it didn't work, I mean i could flash with Odin but the reboot doesn't work : the start screen appeared without the yellow sign, but it's stuck on it.
--- update
FYI, I installed Rom Manager yesterday, it way interact in a bad way with CWM Recovery.
For now i can mount USB by CWM Recovery but cannot do anything else.
If you have a method to clean completely the phone ? Maybe the bootloader is broken...

Hello XDA-community,
I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2.
Model : GT-L9100
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband : L9100XXLPW
Kernelversion : 3.0.15-L9100XWLPD-CL524746 [email protected] #3
Build : IML74K.XWLPD
I've read that I could get CWM on my phone by installing ROMmanager.
When I go in ROMmanager and use the option to install CWM.
It freezes around 95% , the app stops and give the option to quit rommanager.
After restarting Rommanager I see that i have "succesfully"installed CWM , but when I click on the start recovery my phone Freezes which only stops by pulling the battery.
What should I do to get CWM running.
There is a halve CWM on my phone , which I don't know how to remove.
And how do I get a working CWM since I need it for installing ROMS.
Also I dont trust ROMmanager atm so is there another app which could flash a rom , or is there a way to fix the rommanager?

Run away from ROM manager, it's not fully compatible with our phone.
You need ROOT access inorder to get CWM recovery.
Visit this THREAD for the safest rooting method
then flash this Siyah or Speedmod via CWM recovery in order to have a permanent CWM recovery (optional)

I am following the guide that you send me.
I've installed the CWM , but when I continue CWM blinks for a second resetting to the first option.
I have still acces to my phone or whatéver
I've found out that using the volume buttons makes it reset , but the touch screen works.
Now im backing up my phone and install root files.
But i get a message no sd-ex found and can't install the rooting file

@Jokesy - Just a quick info..Even i did a backup using CWM backup and it was successful. I am on stock ICS 4.0.3 XWLP7.
I think the phone would get bricked if you try backup using CWM on a phone that has stock ICS 4.0.4. Correct me if i am wrong here.

You are partially right.
**If you're trying to do a ROM backup in CWM recovery**
1. Yes, the phone will be bricked if you are running stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM with stock/stock-based kernel
2. No, even if you 1. is applicable to you but you have a sane emmc chip.
-The only reason why I don't want people to risk it even after confirming their emmc chip is sane, is because I want them to be 100% safe.
I'll juststop here because Other points might lead to greater confusion.

Hi,
I have a GT-I9300 and recently rootet via Odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar. After that, I was properly rootet, but there was no CWM Recovery console, just the regular one.
Then I started Odin again and tried it with recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar
Now I have the CWM-Symbol on my Drawer but it says, that "This version of CWM MAnager should be used with CF-CWM v.1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery"
What can I do now?
Thanks for your help in advance!
is this touvh recovery v. 6 ? then it's only for jelly bean. if you are on ics i would try CWM v5
i uncheked Auto-Reboot and took out the battery after flashing. Now it works!

Flash a compatible kernel to your installed rom via recovery. Or you can flash an insecure kernel via Odin.
Simple cwm flashing won't boot up your phone.

Well, there are 3 kernels which are quite popular here which have their depth range till kitkat roms.. A simple search on xda for them will lead you to the respective threads.
1. Gustavo's
2. Dorimanx
3. Apolo
If you want a KK rom then download a KK compatible kernel mentioned in the op for those threads, put that on external sdcard and boot to recovery. There you can flash the Kernel file. As you don't have a rom on your phone it would be better if you download a rom and gapps package too and flash them. After flashing a kernel, reboot to recovery and then flash rom and gapps.
If it's difficult for you to put those files on sdcard, you can flash a stock rom via Odin, flash a kernel e.g. philz, apolo,hirox via Odin. Search for these keywords here on xda. Once you have a working kernel and rom, you can download a custom rom and gapps, put it on your phone and follow the procedure which I mentioned first.
If my steps are still confusing to you then you require to search for these terminologies here on xda,read and understand them carefully and then proceed.
You didn't mention what OS/Firmware was on your phone before you started.....this is VERY important to know as it will decide what you can / cannot flash.....
Custom kernels are OS version dependent.....some will only work with ICS, others will only work with JB.....some are exclusively for KK.
You need to check this.....

well I couldn't check cause it couldn't boot up, unless there's another way... But whatever I managed to write 4.4.2 Kitkat on my S2 and there's alot missing feature's like, I cant organise my program menu, I cant add many widgets that I had used in my previous android, there are no notes, phone file explorer and other what is irritating... Maybe there's some another pack that I missed when installing or what?
