Help please, stuck on recover screen

OK, somehow, I have CWM 5.0.2.3 when I boot into recovery mode, but when I am in ROM Manager, it shows an older version of CWM.

I just used ROM Manager to re-install the version 4 of CWM to try and fix this, but now when I start my phone, I go directly to CWM restore screen (still 5.0.2.3) with all the choices to reboot, install from zip, etc... and no matter what I choose I get the ROM Manager "hat" with a gold circular arrow symbol on the screen and nothing else. If I hit the power button again, it goes back to the menu. So, I either get menu or symbol, but no I cannot even get into the phone.

Suggestions to rescue me? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Yea I love it. I use TW Launcher 4.5 along with it so I get all the good parts of stock touchwiz, but with the ability to customize.

The Home softkey is select on the SGSII(not the power button). leave the power button alone and go to reboot phone and hit the little house at the bottom.

VolUp + VolDn = Highlight Up/Dn

Power = toggles menus off/on

Home = Select

Back = Back

I had the same issue. Use the home key to move down the menu.

where did you get TW 4.5 from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] war eagle:
I'm not asking about the device on ROM manager.

I am asking about ROM Manager the app, ALONE. There is the FREE version and the PREMIUM version. I want to know why I can't install the PREMIUM version or uninstall the FREE version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
What did you start with before you went into ROMManager? It is best if you start with the codeworkx initramfs and kernel. I'll update the instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] emtownsend:
I can move to any item on the menu, but no matter what I choose I get the ROM Manager symbol.

Can I boot to some other mode and "start over"?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] catzilla:
In recovery, use the "home" softkey to select, not the power button. Use the "back" softkey to go back a menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
In order to use the Premium version you have to have the free version already installed.

In case no one quite figured this out yet - stable just means that we think the ROM is very usable. But there are still bugs that we'll continue to work on - and those fixes will show up in nightlies as usual. Eventually there will be another stable release with a bumped number like 7.1.0.1. And life will go on - the real fun will start when Ice Cream Sandwich drops and we get that running. The real benefits of CyanogenMod show up when the world moves on and the manufacturers or carriers don't follow quickly enough.

You should be good to go. You have the latest recovery. Just remember that the navigation buttons are different.

I am on codeworkx kernel (from Oct 2nd). I have tried to flash 5.0.2.6 >10 times and every time it gets the signature verification failure. Yes, I am sure that I select "Samsung AT&T Galaxy S2".

I disabled verification check, it appeared to flash okay & switch to 5.0.2.6. But then the next boot into recovery is back to 5.0.2.3 again (both from CWM and ROM Manager). Same behavior with the recovery .zip directly from Koush.

Seems to not "stick".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abacon15:
I did indeed. Its odd, because it boots in CWM to try to install something when I click boot into Recovery and then it goes through the script and fails. I have to click the power button to toggle what can be seen and I then I just reboot. Idk what's going on. Sorry to be such a noob, I knew what I wanted and how to do it on the captivate.

I get a verification error.

Here is the skinny:

Go to ROM Manager and "Reboot to recovery mode"

Allow SuperUser Request

Phone boots to Samsung Galaxy S II splash screen with an "!" and an Android.

I hit the power button and then I get the blue CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 (which does not match what ROM Mgr says I have)

In the text below the blue menu, I get:

CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

But, I can still navigate the menu and choose items, but they all fail.

I think I will track down the update.zip on my card and delete it... I am guessing it is trying to launch that. Not sure why it is there though.

What is the best way to be sure I am on the correct CWM being that they are conflicting?

Edit: Removed Update.zip from phone and still failed with SAME message... argh

Please take me back to step 1. What is the safe way to step 1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abacon15:
I have the exact same issue. I'm gonna try the "hard way"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] insaneturbo13:
you guys's issue is that you need to hit the "toggle signature verification in the second screen inside the recovery menu,

so you will essentially boot into recovery and hit

1 - install zip from sd card

2 - toggle signature verification

then you should see at the bottom of the screen that its now turned off. then install the zip

hope this helps

The CM7 post says it was updated on the 9th, but the last edited date at the bottom says "Today", so I'm not sure what version the ROM is. I don't even know what has been fixed. Things seem very disorganized and I'm just confused on what to download, as there seems to be at least 6 different places where the AT&T SGSII CM7 ROM can be downloaded.

Where is the latest ROM, when was it released, and what has been changed? Is bluetooth working?

I've done my due diligence and tried to find this myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abacon15:
We aren't trying to install the rom. We are just clicking reboot to recovery in Rom Manager. All this appears to be doing is trying to open update.zip, but we are already in recovery mode.

When a phone is launched it takes several weeks if not many months in most cases for CM to be built, often times for the first several weeks (months) releases can be often slightly fragmented due to the fact that the fork or branch has yet to be merged or pulled into the mainstream of CM dev. Things are JUST getting pulled into main, so relax and be grateful that all this happened so quickly

APN Setting in Cyanogen

Ok, so I gave it a little more test tonight with the whole APN thing

IF you use the APN settings for ATT with just the 'phone' and APN type being empty or the word 'default' it works, but not HSPA+ speed.

If you use the APN type 'internet' or 'Internet' it fails to connect Data

BOTH will not send or receive MMS messages

If set up a second APN for wap.cingular it does the same thing. It will not send out MMS.

ATT WAP

APN wap.cingular

Proxy

wireless.cingular.com

Port

80

MMSC

http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy

wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port

80

MCC

310

MNC

410

APN Type

mms,supl

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you combine the two (using the APN as 'phone') it will send MMS but still not much on the speed.

Maybe it's the area I live, I don't know. But for sure using the APN 'phone' and APN type 'internet' gets no Data.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the next question is why isn't the phone falling back to another/2nd APN when 2 APNs have been setup? I even tried to leave both APN settings and manually chose the wap.cingular APN, but still it would not send out MMS, but it does give you data connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
I added two APNs:

Name: AT&T HSPA+ (doesn't matter)

APN: phone

APN Type: default

didn't touch any other field. Saved. Then added:

Name: MMS

APN: phone

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNS: 410

APN Type: mms,supl

didn't touch any other field. Saved.

Then I went to the already existing ATT APN:

APN Type: <empty>

I think you could just delete the APN too.

Then I went outdoors to an area when I have HSUPA+ and I was able to get much higher speeds. Hope that helps. I will look into making all this working directly without adding APNs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
The stable is on the website, the nightly (which is the same) is here. There have been no other updates - I will update when there is a change. Also, because of all the new devices that came in this week, many nightlies haven't been added to to the buildbot queues, and so AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 hasn't got added yet either. It will soon, and you will start getting nightlies the usual way via ROMManager and the download.cyanogenmod.com site directly.

Everyone who is complaining of hot phone or phone shutoffs - please remove your media (video, music) and see if it continues. The issue is usually some media file that the media scanner doesn't recognize, making it crash and restart continuously. The problem is that Samsung ROMs have a different set of codecs, so many video files are unrecognized by CM7 as we don't have those codecs (even some music files have this issue) and it crashes the scanner. Try to isolate which files are doing this if possible, it'll help us get to the bottom of this if we could see the files that are causing this so we could at least make it not crash or busy loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
I will change the date on the title when I upload an update until nightlies are available. There is no new update because I am still working on bluetooth sleep issues, and haven't made another release. As soon as things stabilize at CyanogenMod, the new phones will get added to the buildbot build queue and you will then be able to get nightlies the usual way via ROM Manager or the website.

New problem.. or bug...

Headphone volume is WAYYYY loud. Just 3 click up from mute it's ear bleeding.

And then the opposite is true with Bluetooth. MAX on Bluetooth volume is quite low. I have tested on 3 different bluetooth devices.

Speaking of bluetooth.. and this is SOMETIMES but not all the time... when going to sleep, and wake it disconnect. And for the most part it won't connect. Worse.. (only happened twice) I have to reboot the phone, because it hangs on "Searching..."

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
there are a LOT of reason why it won't go to deep sleep. I had figured out that Facebook app caused it not to go to deep sleep.. and K9 depending how much you are polling might not go to deep sleep... etc..etc...

Ok but I don't use either. And I checked on stock prior to moving to CM7 and it was going to sleep. I'm not trying to heckle but it is a problem. I know people like to defend CM7 saying it is user fault, but this is not.

I still love CM7 anyway, and will use it regardless. That is just my #1 bug fix wish :)

Find out what process is taking the time - it is usually a process that is not letting the phone sleep. Though bluetooth is another candidate - it is either not letting the phone sleep if you turn it on and then off, or it disconnects itself and lets the phone sleep when it should remain on . . . I forget which because my own code is now different from what you guys have.

It might have been BT actually, now that you mention it. I checked CPUSpy before I flashed CM and was showing a decent amount of deep sleep. I might have turned BT off this morning when playing around.

Either way, I was wrong about it not sleeping. I've been checking it today every hour or so, and the % of deep sleep is increasing. This morning it was showing 99% at 200mhz, and as of right now it's showing 64% at 200mhz and 31% at deep sleep.

Make sure you're running a rooted device.

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.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.

Do not reboot!

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
