Yes you can as you are running froyo, if you aren't already rooted use SuperOneClick to root your phone. Then download ROM Manager from the market and select flash clockwork mod from the options given (If it fails just pull the battery or reboot the phone). Once you have successfully flashed clockwork mod, connect your phone to your computer and download CM 7.2 and Google Apps. Don't unzip these files! Transfer them to the root of your SD card (Don't put them in a folder). After you have transferred the files unplug your phone and reboot into clockwork mod recovery (Hold the X key on the keyboard & the Power button until the device boots to the recovery), first select "Wipe data/factory reset" (Do this twice) then select "Wipe cache partition" (Do this twice), then select "Install zip from sdcard" then "Choose zip from sdcard" and select the CM 7.2 zip. After you do that select "Install zip from sdcard" then "Choose zip from sdcard" and select the Google Apps zip. Once you have done all this select the "Reboot system now" option. The phone should now reboot and you should see the CM boot animation, sucess you have now installed Cyanogenmod! I have a Droid 1 too, so if you have any questions or need any help feel free to ask. Also check out this thread for maximizing performance on Cyanogenmod for the Droid :good:

Unfortunately after a bit of searching it seems like no one has made a clockwork mod recovery image yet for your device or Cyanogenmod if you can provide me with a full system dump that includes boot and recovery image I can try to compile a clockwork mod image for your device.

You'll need to install the Android SDK tools and then follow this guide, after that upload the files to 4shared and i'll take a look at the files for you.

Unhappy*[Q] Villain Rom Error (not signed)_________________________________________
hi guys
i'm trying to install the villain rom on my sgs 2 (got it yesterday so nothing is modified except for the rooting)... now i've rooted the phone and i can start into the loader-thingy (with power, vol down and home)... but when i go to the option update from sd it tells me there's an error and the rom isn't signed...
now, i've tried it with and without whiping the phone but it still doesn't work.
i haven't renamed the villain rom file or anything...
can someone tell me what i need to do to flash the rom or how to make this error go away.
sorry, for my not-nerdie lingo but i was an iphone user from gen 1 til iphone 4...
thanks you so much for your help!

simple..
when u goto recovery -> install from sd--> there u see a option called signed/unsigned-> select it.. there u can enable or disable... once done.. come back .. goto sd and flash it...
*Press Thanks Button if it helps U*
In recovery you need to select install zip from sd card. Definitely not UPDATE.ZIP then this should work. Shouldnt have to toggle signature checking i dont think.

We always sign our zips!!!!!
You will never need to use "flash update.zip" always use "install zip from sd" in cwm.
hmmmmm... i don't see any of those options...
i see the following:
android system recovery <3e>
enter Ok key, select: vol up/ vol down
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
so i chose apply update from sdcard
then i mark villainRom-1.4.0.signed.zip
then
install / sdcard
finding update package...
opening update package...
veryfying update package..
e: signature verification failed
installation aborted.
????
You sure its 3e not 2e .You are looking for >>> choose zip .
What colour is the recovery ??
Why not flash 4e rom .
Its your recovery that is wrong not the rom .
jje
nope, it says <3e>, the revovery menu is all in blue and the status messages are yellow...
there's no option "choose zip"
and what is 4e rom?
very sorry, it's all new to me... the last time i flashed roms was with win mobile about 10 years ago...
and where can i get this 4e?
aaaaaaaaaa....i'm so incredibly confused... :-s
ok, i think i found the problem.... i have the stock kernel...or whatever it is called. damn...!
so basically i need to flash/ install the CWM thingy... i'll try that when i get back home!
thanks anyway to all of you who have replied!!
Look for chainfire's cf root kernel kf2. It includes the latest 4.0. 0... recovery. All you do is flash the file via ODIN (1. 85) as pda. Look for that thread and it tells you how to do it.

Hi All,
I'm a newbie with Android modding, sorry!
Long story short, I have a rooted Galaxy S2 with CWM 4.0.0.2 on it, friend helped me with that.
I have "Rom Manager Premium v5.0.0.6" (paid) on my phone and I also have "ClockworkMod Touch" (paid) on there. (Yes, I know you can do all this for free manually, I just figured for 5.99 + 1.99 if it's easier, it's less than 2 coffees)
When I first open ROM Manager it says
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
ClockworkMod Touch is available!
Up the top of the program I can press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it asks me what phone I have. I choose the bottom one Samsung GalaxyS2 (retail purchased, in Australia - outright phone?) it then downloads says "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!" no mention of flashing it, just downloading it?
The version numbers still say "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5"
If I re-boot and hold down the 3 buttons will result in v4.0.0.2 appearing still.
Alternatively in ROM Manager, near the bottom I can choose "Flash ClockworkMod Touch" it also downloads but doesn't prompt me what phone I have. It also says
"Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!" It also doesn't seem to flash CWM Touch, just download it.
Once this is complete up the top it now says.
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.8.1.5
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.8.1.5
These numbers will now stay at the top 'locked' at 5.8.1.5 even after a re-boot. Although holding the 3 buttons will result in v4.0.0.2 booting.
Finally, if I choose "Reboot into Recovery" from within ROM manager it boots into a menu I've never seen before and says exactly the following
"Android system recover (3e)" (in blue)
<some standard menu items>
At the bottom in red it says
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted. (in yellow)
Just to make it clear, I do know that a new recovery isn't a new phone OS (ROM?) I just wanted to put the latest recovery on before fiddling.
So am I doing something wrong here?
I'm a relative newb too. But my view is leave all the fancy stuff alone. Just go with the text one that loads when you boot into recovery mode (4.0.0.2). I had a play with the graphical ones, but I found it too confusing.

Even so, my text one is behind the times also though, isn't it?
EDIT: I can't flash a new CWM Recovery from within CWM right? CWM is only for flashing OS roms, the recovery ROM is at a lower level and not so easy to flash.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, I'm still learning.

No touch is an alternative and is in my view a step backwards in use .

You can flash a custom rom with CWM
? CWM is only for flashing OS roms, the recovery ROM is at a lower level and not so easy to flash.
Not sure what you mean recovery rom ??? OS Rom???
CWM ???? cwm manager or cwm recovery .

Many report that ROM Manager and CWM do not play nicely with each other.

So confusing
ROM Manager in Android OS will allow me to load another OS on the phone right? Like go from stock Samsung OS to CM7 for example, if I have the big ZIP file? it replaces the OS on the phone.
ClockworkMod recovery (bootable) is the same thing right? They both do the same thing, allow you to load a new ROM on the phone?
The question is, how do I put the latest recovery bootloader (whatever it is?) on the phone? Mine is out of date and I want a new one on there.

Incase this is of use.
I believe it's the stock Samsung ROM, I haven't updated it yet, didn't want to fiddle with the phone OS stuff until I had updated the recovery console.
Model number GT-I9100
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband version I9100XXKE7
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555

Build number
GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
Help any?
Not willing to change my OS really until I'm confident I have the right recovery console and a complete backup of the phone (manually via USB / Titanium and a ROM dump, however that works) – does anything backup the cache as well? Like the whole works?
Any other tips?
Please?

can you explained why recovery is combined in the kernel? is this how it is for most phones? I come from the Nexus S where recovery was always separate from kernel.....
Hence the confusion.

I already have root access.
I already have CWM 4.0.0.2 bootloader (recovery?) installed and it's bootable.
I have Clockwork mod the actual application in the OS
I have ROM manager the app in the OS too.
I want to upgrade my CWM recovery bootloader thing, before I fiddle with any new OS ROMs on the device. I'm just being pedantic but I'd prefer the latest loader before I flash a new OS on the device, with said loader.
I can't seem to update the bootloader / recovery from 4.0.0.2 to a newer version within the Android OS (despite ROM manager claiming it can do it)
I also can't seem to do the update from within the recovery manager either.
Do I absoloutely HAVE to use ODIN to flash a new recovery console?

Huh!? ICS is not officially released yet but there is some pre-relaesed custom versions with there own kernels. Siyah has no need to make it compatible with ICS as its not officially released and im sure he will make this compatible when its officially released in the future. ICS will be pretty much a standard for every Android based systems.

Why would you want to change the OS?? Your running Android!! You mean you don't want to change your ROM until your confident. Do your research!!! Read threads, FAQ and Google anything you don't understand. There is plenty of threads in the Q&A just search for your answer. Read about NANDROID backups, Download mode and Recovery's. If you have an understanding of them 3 you will solve all your problems that you have posted. Don't be lazy!!
MOST OF ALL GROW A PAIR....
I know what download mode is and I know what recovery mode is, the point is on my HD2 I could re-install Android from CWM easily and simply. I could clear cache, clear data, wipe dalvik, load on any ROM I liked and it worked awesome.
I just want the latest version of the recovery software on my phone, mine is well out of date.

Umm you can download CWM Recovery for your device from HERE
Then press "Install Zip From SD Card" in Stock Recovery, and you will get into CWM Recovery by installing that zip.
After that flash the zip I gave you, and there will be no Signature Verification problems (It is a typical problem for Stock Recovery, no worries). By default, CWM should have Signature Verification disabled, but if it isn't you can easily disable it in the menu.
You're on Stock 3E recovery right?
Download this : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005747
Put it in your external SDCard
And flash it in recovery. It's signed so it should work.
If it doesn't, get a temporary CWM from here : http://bit.ly/12SfdWY

You can root this by using Ubuntu.
1. adb devices , to check for connected device
2. adb root , to gain root
3. adb shell, to check if you get root sign #. then exit
4 load SuperuserAndFullBackup.zip and extract to any folder. then
5. use adb push to push all files in /system/* to it destination
6. adb shell go into device
7. chown and chmod like permission in updater-script.

:fingers-crossed: The absolute best rooting package I’ve found is CF Root 6.4 (although I know Chainfire isn’t backing or updating anymore (it’s there’s)), It will root every Galaxy S3 i9300 firmware there is, well every firmware update that I’ve put on my phone including custom ROMS and there have been many. It will install SU App, and CWM recovery (albeit an older version) and does it EVERY TIME. It’s awesome. Being that it's a clone, who knows if it will work, anyways give it a go.
Quick ? How were you running Android 4.3 when it just came out 5 days ago & not even officially available for the S3. Just curious but correct me if i'm wrong
cf root wont work for it. It is not Samsung phone. it is just a clone cheap clone. I don't believe it is 4.3.

Hi,
I have some questions concerning the installation of PhilZ-CWM. My phone details are at the end of the message. Thanks in advance for your help !
1) Kernel overwrite
From what I understood of traditional CWM, when installing on an i9100, it overwrites the current kernel (which would mean my actual ROM, very old one, would become unusable). Does PhilZ-CWM behave the same ?
2) What to download ?
I looked at the PhilZ-CWM thread for Galaxy S2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/philz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270 ) but I'm not sure what to download. I saw there are 2 installation methods : via zip on external sd or via odin. It seems the first method also roots the phone and I would like to avoid that (at least on the short term, as my phone OS is out of control).
What version do I need to download on Goo.im ? The latest one (6.48.4) ? Or are there any incompatibilities with my actual phone setup (particularly the fact that it's running gingerbread) and I need to download an old one ?
3) 2.3.3 support ?
After installation, will I be able to boot into my ROM and have a fully functional phone ? Or will I have to do a full backup and install a compatible ROM ?
PS : what I can do right now with my phone (apart from recovery menu actions) is very limited because of its current state ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/low-memory-uninstall-app-connect-adb-t2836974 )
Phone details :
Galaxy S2 (i9100)
Android 2.3.3 / official ROM (as always, customized by the cellular company, but only on apps I suppose)
Version : Gingerbread.XWKE2
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2

Hi,
I have some questions concerning the installation of PhilZ-CWM. My phone details are at the end of the message. Thanks in advance for your help !

Everytime you flash a Recovery, the kernel also gets overwritten. The Kernel and the Recovery are tied together.
However, the PhilZ-CWM you mentioned, is using a Stock-Kernel, which is very stable and safe.
The Kernel Version is sometimes important.
If you are planning to upgrade to ICS/JB, I would use (at least) an ICS Kernel.
If you are planning to keep Gingerbread, I would use a Gingerbread Kernel, to avoid instabilities.

Usually the method doesn't matter, but in this case the updater-script might be doing more, than the odin flash.
But as far as I know, the rooting behaviour can be changed using philz_installer.
I prefer the "zip on external sd" method, because this method is using an updater-script, which have some safety checks.
But you should also be safe, when using odin.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm afraid, that there is no gingerbread version, in this thread.
If you want a Stock Kernel and CWM you can try this thread. Don't be afraid of the rooting, you can always unroot your device at any time(*).
There is also a package which is using your Kernel (KE2). This package would therefore flash the same kernel, and you should have no problems with your ROM.
But any Gingerbread Kernel from this thread would be ok, I guess.
(*) When you root your device, a system binary called "su" is installed to /system/bin and a symbolic link at /system/xbin is created.
Nothing more, nothing less. If you remove these files, your phone is unrooted.

Flashing a GB Kernel and using a GB Rom should cause you no problems.
I'm not quite sure about ICS Kernels and GB Roms.
As far as I know, ICS is using a new file system (ext4), and it's very likely that you will not be able to boot your GB Rom.
Backup is always recommended.

You can root your device using a One-Click-Root for i9100 (this app is using the Exynos Exploit), and then delete the apps yourself with Root Explorer or ES Explorer.
You can delete the "su" binaries afterwards, and you have the same system as before.
Furthermore, flashing a Custom Recovery isn't necessary at all.
You could flash a Gingerbread Custom Recovery of your choice, make the changes you want in your system.
Then unroot the device and flash your Stock Kernel again. You can extract the Stock Kernel from the Official Firmware Updates.
Sidenote:
Flashing a custom kernel, can increase your custom binary counter (visible in Download Mode).
A stock kernel, shouldn't increase that counter. If your counter gets increased you can use the TriangleAway App.
However in my experience, flashing a Custom Recovery + Stock Kernel didn't increase my counter.
Hope this helps :victory:

It's always good practise to update your phone to the latest official release first then install a custom rom. I would recommend doing this to prevent any issues along the way of flashing a new rom.

Install Apps like Titanium backup which needs root privilege at start when you open and further you can verify if your device is rooted !!
Okay i installed Titanium Backup and it seems i dont have root. It failed it says. So how i can root my phone with this kernel : [email protected] #2 ?

Try framaroot again and see if it works. There was a Q&A part explaining your scenario where "Framaroot say Success but SuperSU is not installed after reboot".
Update: After using the search function, I found the CF- auto root designed for your firmware: http://download.chainfire.eu/24/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
Thanks. I downloaded the CF-Auto root. And it works. My next question is: Can i "install" Cyagonenmod or something? For a newer Android Version. Or should i dont do it?

You will have to install a kernel with a custom recovery (such as philz kernel). Then you will be able to install custom roms.

Okay. But which should i install and is there a tutorial? I'm a beginner in this so i Need help ^^
EDIT: With custom recovery you mean CWM? If it is so then it's installed with that CF-Auto root data.

Yes, cwm is a custom recovery. The included cwm on cf auto-root is quite old and won't allow you to install kitkat and some jelly bean roms. You can always try

The easiest way to get kitkat rom and get new recovery is to use cyanogenmod installer. Then it would be much easier to install other roms of your choice.
OK does it work with dat cf auto root? And is there a link and tutorial?

Lol. To get cyanogenmod installer, go to get.cm on your phone's browser then follow on screen instructions, that's it. The installer actually doesn't need any root as it will install root anyway (in this case, you will keep root). Be sure to backup! Happy flashing

I installed it. But then the installer want to download "operating System" and after 5 min or something it says : Download failed. We were unable to download CyanogenMod for your device. Please check your Network Connection and try again.

Must be a problem with the firewall. I can teach you the manual way then, but it is definitely harder. Don't worry, I will guide you through;
I guess you are on gingerbread so follow my guide carefully:
Recovery navigation:
Up and down - Volume button
Select - Power key
1. Download the latest snapshot of cyanogenmod 11 onto your phone's storage here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/90770/cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-i9100.zip
2. (Optional) Download the compatible gapps file onto your phone's storage here: http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
3. Download the latest philz recovery onto your phone's storage here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip
4. Reboot your phone into recovery (turn off phone, then press power button, up and home button all together until you see the samsung logo)
5. You should now see the recovery, select flash a zip
6. Select Internal sd card or ext sd card (if these are not on the menu, sd card 0 = internal sd card, etc)
7. Select philz recovery zip
8. Confirm to flash
9. Return to main menu
10. Go to advanced
11. Select reboot to recovery. Your phone should reboot back into the new recovery
12. Once back into the new recovery, select factory reset. Your phone will now delete all of your apps!
13. Then select wipe cache partition.
14. Then go to advanced, then select wipe dalvik cache.
15. Go back to the main menu
16. Select Flash a zip
17. Select the storage location that you used for your downloads
18. Locate and select the cyanogenmod .zip file and confirm to flash
19 (Optional)Select gapps .zip file and confirm to flash
20. Return to main menu
21. Select reboot device
The first boot may take long so be patient. If it doesn't bootloop, you have successfully flashed a rom onto your device!
Ok just a question does it work with may CF-Auto root? It has the CWM 4.0.0.2 . So i'm just carefull cause i dont want to brick my phone ^^
BIG EDIT Okay i just flashed it. And it works . Thanks for the help really .
