No problem glad to be of any help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eclipse245:
I've got a small issue. I flashed CWM via Rom Manager.

Then I overwrote the first file posted in the first post.

And replaced the update.zip also provided in the first post.

However I still boot into Android System Recovery 3e instead of CWM. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eclipse245:
Well I re-did the files. And booted into CWM just fine, haha. Sorry and thanks guys! Much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lordxavier:
I have yet to get this to work. I have pushed the recovery file to the specified path with adb and I tried to run update.zip in samsung recovery. A few questions..after copying the recovery file over, Im still showing "Android system recovery <3e>. Is this correct? When I run update.zip from this recovery it still comes up with the E:signature verification failed error.

Can anyone throw me some guidance on this? Im dying to remove Samsung recovery from this device.

Im currently running the gingerbread T959VUVKF1

Kernel Version is

2.6.35.7-T959VUVKF1-CL270364

Looking at rom manager's download listing:

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/

I noticed the main page references 3.2.0.0, but in the download listing there is also 3.2.0.1 and 3.2.0.2 for the `galaxys4g'.

Is there a change log somewhere for these versions/builds?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:

I guess I am glad I didn't do any major damage. I tried to flash CW via ROM Manager, all had some kind of failure.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
for the easiest cwm recovery, just odin bali 3.3. rom manager will cause you to soft brick every time.

**********ATTENTION**********

If you are getting the following error when you click "reinstall packages"

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature"

"E:signature verification failed"

"Installation aborted."

THIS HAPPEND TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A NOOB.

PAY ATTENTION!

MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD BOTH FILES "update.zip" found HERE AND "recovery" found HERE.

SO YOU HAVE 2 FILES 1 named "recovery.zip" which you will put on the ROOT of your SD and recovery which will be replaced in the: system/bin/

-Your Welcome!

Im using CWM Red (Voodoo) from ICBNB GB Version, and it won't unmount the system partition. CWM actually starts with the system mounted & won't unmount it.

Am i doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Indian9990:
I installed Bali 3.3..There was an odin version that was posted..but how do I get into recovery from there? I heard the was the easiest way to flash ClockWork Recovery but I still have nothing..Every time I reboot I also have a flickering "android" letters that goes over my Galaxy S bootloader..

Any suggestions..Sorry if these are stupid questions..I have read around but still confused..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
Download quickboot from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
1. delete the bootanimation from system/bin

2. press and hold the power button (like you normally would to get the menu). select recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shehrammajid:
I've pushed the recovery file to /system/bin and made sure that system was r/w when I did it. when I get to the blue recovery and hit reinstall packages, it says

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tooter1:
Why can't I get this to install?

I go into recovery and choose update and tells me: signature verification failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Did you push modified recovery file to system/bin? Is updated.zip on SD card? Are you booting into stock recovery and hitting reinstall packages?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tooter1:
I just tried to push it, seem to work. Then when I get into stock recovery, I have no option to reinstall packages.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cal4877:
if you dont see it than you should have an option that says "install update" or something like that, select that option and look for the download folder on your sd card and you should have the update.zip file there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Also make sure that your file explorer is set to r/w as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tooter1:
Yes, I did that. I've tried it both ways with Root Explorer and ADB push.

When I go into stock recovery and select " apply update from sdcard " it tells me " signature verification failed "

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
And you don't have the option "reinstall packages"?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tooter1:
No, that option isn't there. On my last SGS 4g, I had that option. But not this one, it's rooted with KF2.

I want to change it to something newer. I like using CWM to flash ROM's. Had ok results with Odin, would rather use CWM though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Kf2 had different type of bootloaders. That is probably the issue. I would Odin the kg4 or kg6 leak if I were you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tooter1:
I will try one of those.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Yeah I remember when that first leaked people had issues not getting cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsmith01:
So I used Rom Manager to flash cwm. Now I use the method mentioned here to finish?

you're not supposed to use rom manager to flash cwm. it causes problems. you're in the thread. read the op.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsmith01:
Well I've already done that with rom manager, is there a way of reversing what I did?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hotvebs:
I have KG4 in my SGS4G and i have replaced the recovery file in system/bin. when in android recovery mode I select apply update from sdcard and select update.zip it says E signature verification failed. I downloaded the update.zip again and tried but same issue. What should I do. Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
If you have kg4, why are you trying to get the froyo cwm on your phone? Flash thekg4 kernel by drhonk. there is also the kh and ki kernels
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danel5208:
If you are using root explore like I did. When u copy and paste the file you downloaded is recovery.bin the one that you u need to overwrite is just recovery. I renamed the downloaded one to just recovery then pasted it. Then it asked me if I wanted to overwrite and then click yes. It worked perfect then and no more error. Hope this helps... Danielle
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jcki4:
hey guys so i just rooted my phone last night but the CWM is not changing my recovery and im pretty well arounded with rooting and recovery (evo 4G And 3D is rooted)

when i go into recovery mode it still say samsung ?? and as i was reading the OP i honestly don't understand what to do with the 2nd download flie and the root explorer just have to overwritre it i get that but as for the update.zip what do i do wit that if i can't flash it ???in the samsung recovery?

ps i use the superoneclick nd software is 2.2.1 if that info help, thanks and please help me out very appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elry567:
Just push the new recovery.bin to it's proper place and leave the update.zip on it sd then go to recovery and hit reinstall packages that should do it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jcki4:
push by root expolorer ? or adb? if adb could you share the correct command to push it ? thank you please
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
You can use root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Or.......just flash Bali kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
I always thought until you install this recovery you couldn't flash anything without Odin.

Edit...never mind I forgot there are Odin files for the Bali kernel.

Hey guys, after doing the update.zip and applying recovery everything is perfect but when I reboot the phone again to recovery I have the samsung recovery and have to reapply again to get to CWM recovery, but my biggest concern and someone could help me pls is that when I flash any rom my phone when start looks horrible like the screen is broken and have to do an odin factory reset> Any help pls

Did you push the recovery.bin file to system/bin? Was your file explorer app set to r/w? Was update.zip in your SD card? Did you go into stock recovery and hit reinstall packages?

Yes did all that and still getting failed to verify whole file signature error in stock recovery mode!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
make sure the recovery file is named "recovery", not "recovery.bin"

you ARE NOT installing the update.zip. you are simply placing it on your sd card. that is the only thing you are doing with it. no installing.

Yes I did that and still am getting the dreaded error :(

I have SGS4G with Gingerbread 2.3.4

I've rooted it, replaced the recovery and yet when trying to flash the update.zip I get the error of signature verification failed.

Tried with root explorer and tried with ADB, no difference.

ROM Manager incorrectly suggests Nexus S and Nexus S 4g and Samsung GalaxyS i9000.

Will it work to flash clockworkmod via rom manager (one of the above) and then flash the recovery I've downloaded from rom manager's website?

is there away to flash differently the recovery ?

on HTC i used to do it with Fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
this is for froyo only. most newer roms in this forum come with drhonk's kernel with recovery in the initramfs.

see the sticky at the top of the dev forum, dont use rom manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zagzag99:
thing is i would rather avoid odin's method.

already bricked one phone to $150 repair state by a simple click in odin that finished with success.

other ways of setting a recovery that i can use?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you can flash bali once you have cwm. just push the two files in the op and it should work fine. make sure the update.zip is on the root of the sd card. the recovery file is in the correct place. then boot into recovery, go to reinstall packages and you should be good. DO NOT INSTALL UPDATE.ZIP. then install bali on froyo and you are good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zagzag99:
I have in Samsung (Blue) Recovery only the options:

Reboot

Install update from zip

wipe data

wipe cache

There's no reinstall packages.

The method in OP doesn't work past the verification.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Tattooed5150:
I am sorry to who ever this may piss off but I'm beyond frustrated. I have read this entire forum several times now and searching all over the place but have no luck finding any solution. I have rooted my wife's SGS4G, put CWM on it and everything up to this point works fine. The only thing is that CWM keeps saying that it can't mount SD Card so now I can't flash anything on the phone. I have the red CWM Voodoo Lag fix and even in the advanced menu I can't manually mount sd, change lag options, or change mounts. I have read this entire forum several times now and searching all over the place but have no luck finding any solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
what rom are you on? also, since you have the red cwm, you should be good to go. boot up the phone normally. connect it to the computer and back up any saved pics, musics, or whatever personal things you have put on the sd card. then format the sd card from the phone. odin the proper kernel (depending on what rom you are on: gb or froyo) and go back into cwm and see if you can access the sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Tattooed5150:
Thank you for the response. Her phone is on stock Froyo 2.2.1 and I rooted it via super oneclick. I'll try the steps you suggested and report back. This phone is just really frustrating difficult. I have had the G2x MT4G and now the Sensation all rooted and flashing different roms about once or twice a week. I don't know what's up with this one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Tattooed5150:
For some reason I still couldn't get it to work at all. I ended up downloading CWM 3.2.0.0 from the CWM website and using that to flash Octane. Worked just fine and I'm able to change mounts and do full backups without any problems. FINALLY.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] error666:
Could you give more details on this?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
if you are on froyo, odin bali 3.3 uv. if you are on gb, odin kj1 kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Tattooed5150:
Her phone was still on Froyo 2.2.1. I followed the guide to flashing with Odin step by step and the only thing that I could get to work correctly was installing the drivers. I'm not incompetent when it come to flashing phones or working with computers but for some reason the bali 3.3 could not be recognized in Odin. When it came to the CWM Final, it wouldn't even register that there was a SD card in the phone to mount for a proper back up or flash. So like I stated, I downloaded the CWM 3.2xxx and now it all works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KAsp3rd:
I am working on a CWM for the KJ6 kernel. I've noticed with the official gb update it doesn't use the recovery from /system/bin as of right now it will be just the stock Kernel with voodoo CWM until I learn more
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] error666:
And I tried to replace the other 2 recovery files in "/" and in "/sbin" and at boot it changes them back. So looks like there's another copy stored somewhere and it just overwrites the files on every boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
the recovery binary in / is redundant. the kernel is using the one in /sbin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JazzMac251:
How do you install this? if it's simply running from the update.zip on the SD card root, it's no wonder you can't edit or flash anything.

Like the previous poster, I cannot flash or backup or really do anything. CWM says it can't mount the SDcard. I don't know how he got the latest 3.2 installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
This isn't meant to be used in Gingerbread. Please flash one of drhonk's kernels if you want GB with CWM

Ah okay. Do you know how to use Odin? Check out the Bali 3.3 + CWM link in my signature. That'll get you CWM on Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JazzMac251:
I"m having trouble getting her phone into "downloading" mode so Odin will do it's thing. I accidentally did it once but it hasn't worked since then. I assume it's the same process as getting into the bootloader except with the USB cable plugged in?

Take out the battery and usb cable. Put the battery back in. Hold the Vol + and - buttons, plug the usb cable into the computer, plug the usb cable into the phone.
