Which Android Version are you currently on buddy?

Im at 4.0.4.
That was my ultimate goal to root the phone but when I tried I got the same error message
I thought that I would wipe the phone and install a ROM but to do that I need CWM

Assuming you're NOT yet rooted, I'd say, update your phone to official 4.1.2 through Kies and then follow the previous link. Will work 100%
Root and flash it with Odin. It works for me.

Unless u root ur phone u cannot simply change the CWM while on Stock
Ok
I've tried to root my phone and I get the same error message
Root your phone by flashing an insecure kernel e g. Philz, hirox, apolo etc via Odin. Then reboot to recovery and flash away your ROM.
If you want a kk ROM then you would require a kk compatible recovery which you can get by flashing one of these kernels - dorimanx 10.43, Gustavo's, apolo.
Thanks guys I got it

If you havent already download Rom Manager and reflash CWM. Soemtimes people tell you to flash an older version then reflash the newest version.

Whenever I try to install an older version, I get a message saying "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" I've tried it on 3G and Wifi, and I can download other things just fine.
Do you have the update.zip for CWM still on your sdcard? If so reboot into recovery using the power and volume key, it should take you to the Samsung recovery, then go to apply update.zip.

I just get sent back to CWM and I get the same error. Would removing ROM Manager remove CWM?
In order to have a fully working rom manager, you have to flash the clockworkmod.tar kernal. I was having the exact same issues, I couldn't do a backup or restore. You will have to do odin on your phone.

Exactly.
You cannot install CWM without odin / redbend / etc. There are no shortcuts. Just downloading ROM Manager and hoping that you're special or lucky is not enough to make this work.
Follow the instructions.
I guess I had assumes he had already done that.
hey guys, i'm new to this whole android system, and i just rooted my samsung galaxy s2 yesterday. using odin + superoneclick
i have the super user and i installed a program to check if i am really rooted or not.
the problem is, everytime i try to install ANY rom, it says that my signature verification failed.. ERROR!!!
i can flash diferent kernels with odin.. but can't install rom's using the clockworkmod manager...
can you help me on this one?
this is what im using now
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Android Version: 2.3.3
Basehand version: I9100JCKE1
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG6-CL425236 [email protected] #2
Thanks in advance
Maybe I am saying it for 50 times now,
You need to flash the zImage of your rooted kernel dude. Signature related error comes from that.
thanks for your reply
can you help me find the rooted kernel for my phone?
i´m kind of new to this....
thank you
i´ve flashed GT-I9100_KE7_insecure.tar on my already rooted galaxy, and tried to install cynamon rom using rom manager. and still have the same issue : Signature verification failed...
and now, everytime i boot my phone a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark appears.. changing the kernel to something else solved this last part...
I want to install custom roms... plz help me
Use cf-root method from the original android development thread (S2 ofc) of this forum.
Follow the instructions and you will be fine.
Yes the yellow triangle means your kernel is not original, that's 100% normal on rooted devices.

As the above user said flash Chainfire kernel for root. Download KE7.tar from that thread and root with it. You will get the zImage by extracting that .tar further. That zImage file you need to flash with the option Flash Kernel via CWM which is already installed on your device.
tks everyone... ill try that and post the result
found the link... following the steps now
i did what the thread said. and flashed the CF-root E7, and then flashed on the phone using cwm... STILL.. when i try to install roms i have the same problem ;( signature not verified ....

Hey guys, new member here, got a Galaxy S 2 on Three UK
I'm only 15, but I've hacked iPhones, iPods, rooted my Galaxy S, and now rooted my Galaxy S 2.
But I've run into a couple of problems on the way.
My information is:
Baseband Version: I9100NEKD5
Kernal Version: [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
My kernel version is KI8 because I flashed it to it via odin...
But my problems are:
1) My ROM Manager doesn't work, will flash the software, flashed it twice, when I reboot it into recovery, it goes into Samsung standard recovery and says "E:signature verification failed", people have said look at advanced settings but I can't find any advanced settings even though I have premium ROM Manager?
2) My mate with an SGS2 told me about an update, so I tried to update, it downloads successfully, but when I go to actually install it, it says it fails and I need to use Kies or go to a samsung tech centre, but when I plug it into Kies, it says no update available or something...
So, I'd appreciate as much help as possible
Thank you all
Oli
1. Try installing the update manually from booting into recovery mode manually.
2. Once your mobile is rooted , you wont see any update from kies. But still you can manually download it and flash it straight away.
Does your kernal have cwm recovery? Rom manager on its own will not give you cwm. So maybe flash cf root.

Edit: don't use Rom manager.
Take a breath and go to here

Read the 1st few posts on how to do things.
Download any version of firmware you want and flash with Odin.
Then root via cfroot or any one of the custom kernels via Odin.
You should be back in businesses at this point.
Let us know if you need any more help but I think you will be fine.

I'm rooted fine, I have been for months, its just why won't it let me update even when I'm unrooted. Snd why doesn't cwm work either? Ah I have no idea about these things
If you go into normal recovery you don't have cwm installed. Just read the thread that was linked and you will be fine. And don't use rommanager on s2. With cfroot kernel a cwm app will be installed. Use this one instead.

Toggle signature verification to 'off'
I've read about that, but can't find the setting?!
I don't have a clue what you guys are saying, please tell me in an easier way if possible, as I'm only 15 and don't understand much...

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER .
You require a rooted phone with CWM 4 and above not 3e.
how to
Root + CWM .

KIES updates if their is an update for your phones codes not because your mate tells you .
Either wait or use stock rom .
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
ROUTE decide what update you want flash via Odin as per stock rom post . Then choose root and CWM to match the kernel .

Hi I'm rooting my phone by using odin3 1.85. this worked fine but now I'm using superoneclick which is always stopping on step 7
Try flashing a custom kernel that is already rooted like CF-Root kernel through odin. It's the fastest method out there. AFAIK SuperOneClick doesn't work on our device.
Bdw, you should've posted in the Q and A section

1.boot to CWM recovery
Update/flash zip from SD
Toggle signature verification
Then flash your ROM now
Or
2. Flash Siyah kernel first via CWM recovery, it has updated CWM recovery version 6.x
Then flash the Rom
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
CyanogenMod needs CWM5+.
I have download syiah kernel and tried to install it by CWM which gave me the same msq and odin freezing when installing it
I have new SGS2 with 2.6.35.7-I9000xxjw4 kernel and the phone is already rooted

I tried installing TWP but though goo manager but my recovery mode is still in clockworkmod. Please help me figure out how to install this latest version of Kit Kat rom.
Try to flash TWRP using Odin or download a recovery flashing compatible file for TWRP and flash it using your current CWM. Or just try PhilZ
Do you have an i9300 or another model number? Try asking in that model's forum.

Download CM again or simply from another source and before you transfer the .zip file to your phone, compare the MD5 of both files to check if the download was successful.
