Any idea whats wrong? Please help?:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondGar:
I think you might need to disable signiture verification in clockworkmod. Or else you might have a bad download, try checking the MD5sum or redownloading the file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imranmcse:
I disabled the signature verification in clockworkmod but when after restarting I go back to install cyanogenmod 7 it again comes back with this error. is it possible to disable signature verification permanently through ROMManager, I mean before the install process start.

Are you trying to install CM from within Rom Manager? If so, try to do it directly from recovery instead.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecrocks261:
Well the tut on the front page says to do it through ROM manager, so i followed those steps using the rom manager to flash CM onto my GS2.

Should i use a normal cwm recovery manually to install the CM nightly 29?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
AFAIK ninphetamine is not compatible with CM, so don't bother flashing. The developers of CM have asked others to refrain from making kernels for CM because otherwise these threads may be flooded with comments saying stuff (the rom) don't work, while instead it could be related to the kernel. So i wouldn't recommend flashing other kernels.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecrocks261:
I am currently on litening rom 4.1 with its default kernal, can i simply flash any other kernal on top of that which would be suitable with CM7?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
There is no 'other' kernel. at present, the only CM7 compatible kernel is the CM7 kernel.

If you are still trying to install cm7,

Excerpt from OP which you should read/follow:

"

First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM

)?

Easy way:

Start with a rooted device (do not ask us how to do this).

Install ROMManager Premium.

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Samsung Galaxy S2.

Make sure you can reboot into ClockworkMod recovery from ROMManager. Reboot and get back into ROMManager Premium.

Choose download ROMs.

Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.

Check the Google Apps addon.

Check Backup current ROM!

Check wipe data, cache, dalvik cache. (We're not kidding! Wipe)

Let ROMManager finish the installation.

Harder way:

Make sure you're running a rooted device.

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1118693)

Do a Nandroid backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)"

If you are having problems, Follow the 'Harder way' instructions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallous_boy:
im having the exact same problem, im using lite pro 6.1 rom with 2.0.5

ninpho kernel.

when i boot into recovery from rom manager premium i get the above errors.

do i need to flash another kernal in order to get cm7, if so which ones compatible?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallous_boy:
i even tried the harder way, but got stukc at bootup logo
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rjmcgauley:
I also had the above problem but I was using a kernel from ChainFire "XWKE7"

Apparently RomManager doesnt work well with ChainFire Kernels. This may also be the case.

Instead I had to download the updated Nightly ROM from the Cyonagen website, install the zip file into the "ROOT OF THE INTERNAL MEMORY CARD" and then follow the instructions as above post.

CM7 has its own Kernel and will replace it when flashed.

The only thing I did with RomManager was install updated CW-R.

Hope that helps.

Jeez, don't you read comments before you post? Literally a couple of posts above yours I've answered this!! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecrocks261:

DL day 30 nightly and install it via CWM recovery from the SD internal

do i have to wipe data/factory settings and cache to flash the rom

If so this means that i lose all my data?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Yes and yes. Backup anything you don't want to lose, but you can't restore system data as its different between stock and cm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecrocks261:
Ok

im doing a backup through CWM restore atm, after this is done i should wipe all the cache and factory settings then install ZIP from SD

Here i click on the nightley 29 zip file in the root of the sd card

Let it install and hope for the best?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You may have to doubleflash the zip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolanevans:
I had this problem when I started by rooting my SGS2 using CF-Root, which (as I should have known if I had carefully read the instructions) is NOT compatible with ROM Manager. I replaced CF-Root with Codeworkx's Clockworkmod Kernel and CM7 went on just fine.

Clockworkx's Modem ROMs

Can anyone point me to the main thread that describes Clockworkx's modem ROMs (search is not turning it up for me)? I see them in ROM Manager, but I'd like to know more about what they are intended for.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Modems are not roms! You'll only need to change your modem if you're experiencing connection issues, weak reception, or battery drain for instance. AFAIK modems are responsible for these things (reception etc.).

Thanks for the information, I am flashing it right now through CWM. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycfc:
I found out that the stock keyboard is a tad small for me, any suggestions? Maybe I could install the Samsung keyboard? Or some other alternatives? I'd prefer the Samsung keyboard though! :)

EDIT: After messing around with the build #30, I experienced forced close for process.android.acore every single second! Got very annoyed so I restored back to my stable ROM. Anyone experienced this? The force close happened after I rebooted. I did not change any system critical settings by the way.

9 chances out of 10 the MAC will change, you can check it in About Phone - Status - Bluetooth address

steps to reproduce:

- open About Phone - Status

- turn on Bluetooth with Notification bar toggle

- wait until bluetooth icon appears in notification bar

- check About Phone - Status - Bluetooth address

- go back to Phone - Status and turn off bluetooth with notification bar toggle

- wait until bluetooth icon is gone from notification bar and and a few seconds more turn it back on

- wait until bluetooth icon appears in notification bar

- check Phone - Status - Bluetooth address

if you repeat these steps a few times you are bound to experience this :)

/efs/imei/bt.txt shows:

bt_macaddr : 549B129B716F

and when I check About Phone - Status - Bluetooth address it shows the following after each toggle:

38:2B:55:67:0C:DF
38:2[COLOR="Red"]3[/COLOR]:[COLOR="red"]4[/COLOR]5:67:0C:DF

you wont get the contacts back that werent synced to gmail or tmobile.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shdw03:
i thought i couldnt use a root explorer without first rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shdw03:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you cant use root explorer to its full potential without rooting.

you should be able to odin back to froyo, but read through the threads to make sure you get to bootloaders right, because if you dont, you will hard brick your phone

you cant odin icbinb or trigger. those are only cwm flashable. once you successfully odin back to kb5 or kc1, look in krylons final cwm thread and move the two files to the right place and then you can flash one of those roms. for more information about the cwm flashable or odin roms, got to the bible thread in the development section

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
if you are on 2.3 and you get the rainbow screen, then you are on froyo bootloaders. if you dont, you are on gb bootloaders. if you are running froyo fine, then you are on froyo bootloaders.

yea...im pretty sure thats right. lol. like 85%.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shdw03:
rainbow screen? tried to search for what that looks like?

is that only during initial boot

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
I'm a noob too, but this worked for me

I think I was in the same boat - rooted 2.2, then upgraded to 2.3.3 but lost root. I had all the Ti backup done, but then couldn't use it without re-rooting. I followed this (twice, the first time I didn't read carefully):

1. download things below:

Download zimage-root.tar to computer: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=627433&d=1308258432

2. Download zimage.tar: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=628363&d=1308338680

3. Download ODIN to computer and unzip it: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1qqk94teauc64nb/Odin3-v1.85.zip

4. You should have working USB connection between computer and phone. If not, install Samsung USB drivers:

download Samsung Drivers for 32-Bit windows: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml

download Samsung Drivers for 64-Bit windows: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

5. reboot into download mod.

6. run the ODIN exe.

7. connect phone to computer.

8. click pda, select zimage-root.tar file, click start.

9. when finish, get a bootloop, remove phone from usb.

10. power off, replace the battery, again download mod, connect phone to computer, run the ODIN again.

11. click pda, select the zimage.tar file, click start.

12. reboot.​
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
Wait you just got this phone back and its completely stock and running 2.3.3 out of the box?! Um that means they have already started to roll out the GB update for the SGS4G??? Why is nobody excited about this haha

on second thought: GRAB THAT PHONE THIS INSTANT AND HARVEST THOSE BOOTLOADERS WE NEED THOSE IF THEY ARE OFFICIAL LOL YOU MY FRIEND MAY HAVE THE FIRST OFFICIAL ROLLOUT OF GB WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO FLASH I BACK TO FROYO???

on third thought: i can help you with the contacts, if they were saved to your phone and your phone only then im sorry but you will never get those contacts back. Create a gmail account if you do not have one and go into settings and accounts and sync check the google and tmobile sync settings to have your contacts backed up for future use, this will solve your problem if it happens that you need to do a master reset or get a new phone! As far as restoring apps i cannot say much because you are running gingerbread.
