Lost Clockwork Mod Recovery :(

Hey all,
I have got root permissions on my Samsung Galaxy S and also have ROM Manager installed but when I click boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery it just boots up the standard Android Recovery and shows the E: signature verfication failed etc which means I cannot flash to another ROM or anything?
It used to work but for some reason since installing a new custom ROM it does not anymore? Please help
Phone Details:
Model number - GT-I9000
Firmware version - 2.2
Baseband version - I9000XXJPY
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 hardcore 'at' speedmod-k11a-256hz #50
Build number - FROYO.XXJPO

Tried downloading and installing a new copy of CWM .
jje

I have the same problem. If I try booting into recovery via the ROM Manager app, I get the original 3e recovery. However, if I try entering recovery directly (power off, hold vol up, home and power at the same time), I get into Clockwork Recovery every time.
I have the latest ROM Manager installed so I don't know why this is happening but it doesn't really affect me so I've not investigated further.
[edit] I'm only saying that I have the same problem because we're both running a speedmod kernel (albeit different versions) which installs a modified recovery to "fix" the 3e recovery issue.

Hello Both,
Yep I have tried installing it again JJEgan but no luck
I can't even boot into CWM recovery with the 3 button method because my phone doesn't support the 3 button thing - another gripe I have

Ummm. Before doing ANYTHING, why not proceed to fixing the 3-button issue? There's a thread pinned to every i9000 forum for a reason.
I'm guessing (don't know for sure) that you might have to reflash the kernel afterward to resolve the 3e recovery if it's placed back on your phone.

flash clockwordmod recovery from rom manager. it will create a "update.zip" file on your internal card. then reboot into normal recovery and apply update.zip twice, there you are

no you are wrong.. the signature failed is because you are not using 2e recovery but 3e (2e is lost when flashing to froyo).. you will need to restore 2e recovery with a custom kernel or custom rom.. search and read up on it and dont comment if you dont know what you are talking about.
recommend chainfire cf kernel to restore 2e recovery.

yub, what lgkahn said.
you need to flash a different kernel.
lots of ppl recommend hardcore's speedmod too, but try a few different ones and see which you like

I have the same problem. Can't get into clockwork recovery, instead it boot into Samsung 2e..

not me. the same "Android system recovery <3e>" and
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
...hen trying to apply update.zip
Saw the post about losing 2e when flashing to froyo. Thanks for that, I won't bother trying to fix it any more. Do You think there's going to be an update supporting 3e ?

iv got same problem but u need 2erwcovery which im trying to get

Try this, works perfectly on my Galaxy S

Clockwork Mod recovery mode ??????

I am having a problem accessing clockwork mod recovery mode, no matter what process i try it consistently takes me to android recovery instead.

Did factory reset back to stock
Did software ota update to the following specs:

Build SCH i500 DH101
Installed CWm Recovery from market
Installed Asto file manager from market
Installed Titanium backup from market
Opened CWM application
Went through root permissions dialogue
Flashed CWM recovery to 2.5.1.0
Next i clicked on BACK UP ROM which reboots me into Android Recovery Mode and gives me the standard 4 options for the fascinate:, plus it says installation was aborted:
1.After failing to find update package
2. open update package
3. verify update package
At this point i click on the home button and reboot system now.
Next i try flashing a different CWM Recovery version to 2.5.1.1 , 2.5.1.3 , 2.5.1.4 , all resulting in and error message, so i am still using 2.5.1.0
Next i try toclick on manage and restore backups but there are no backups listed even thouigh i did back up Rom earlier.
next i try to install the Geeknik ROM( Stupidfast v1.23(D101) from the Download ROM section.
I click OK to dialogue box that ask do i want to Down Load Rom
The Stupidfast ROM download starts and finishes
Notification bar says download is complete so i click on notification bar and this takes me to dialogue box which asks do i want to back up existing rom and wipe data and cache . i say yes to both and click OK.
Next dialogue box asks do i want tot reboot. i click Ok
i am then taken back to Android System recovery.
No matter what i do in Clockwork Recovery i always end up back at Anroid System Recovery. i have tried all different scenarios -debugging checked.debugging unchecked,clear cache, dont clear cache, back up rom,dont back up rom, usb connected, usb unconnected, Titanium in,titanium out. watched all different you tube videos on subject.
sorry this was so long. i didnt want to miss any answers to any question any of you might have if at this point you want to offer any help. thanks in advance.

You have to flash CWM with Odin before you can use it. Can't just install from the market or ROM Manager

Kevin, Thanks for your response to my question.
i thought i already flashed CWMRecovery from within ROM Manager. it is the first option at the top of CWMRecovery, also it states under that first choice that my latest recovery id Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.0.
If i scroll down to the bottom of CWMRecovery the last choice shows all of the CWM Recoveries. Recovery 2.5.1.0 is listed at the bottom and is the only one i can flash/install.
In both instances it says that i have flashed this version(2.5.1.0) of CWM Recovery.
I will try whhat you are suggesting and thanks again for the help, it is appreciated

Kevin , I followed your instructions and flashed the CWMrecovery.tar file with Odin3_1.3 and everything is as it should be. The funny thing is (at least to me) that the CWMrecovery version that is listed when i am in recovery mode now is CWM version 2.5.1.0, which is the same version that i flashed within rom manager. Kind of confusing but at least i am where i want to be. Thanks again for the help.

Yeah, it's just one of the quirks with the Fascinate. Unlike most devices, just flashing Clockwork with ROM Manager only puts the update.zip on your SD card. Using Odin to flash the .tar file installs the recovery, so both parts are needed.

where i need to put CWMrecovery.tar in ODIN in which section PDA/PHONE/CSC? 1nx

You only flash things in PDA section, doing otherwise will screw up your phone

Im kinda new to all this stuff and just wanted to get some step by step stuff if you dont mind. I rooted my Fascinate tried clockwork mod wouldnt work when i tried to backup after downloading the recovery thing and when i read this you guys said something about Odin so I went to appbrain and downloaded tuxility but now im lost on what to do. Maybe something step-by-step would be good. Really appreciate it! (ps: I know im kinda slow but if you wouldnt mind...)

The stock recovery does not allow us to run unsigned zips. Thus, we must flash the CWMrecovery.tar to patch recovery to allow us to run these unsigned zips. Then you can flash CWM from within Rom Manager.
Follow these instructions from fallingup's thread:

THANKS
Thanks ALOT this looks really simple the only thing that idk about is how it said to put it in download mode. Idk what that means. Debugging? and do I mount it? Thats all i think. THANKS agian.

Download mode: power off, pull out battery, with Odin open and USB connected to PC hold volume down and plug in USB.

[Q] Help. 2.2 rooted. cannot flash at all

I've been having a lot of problems getting my tmobile vibrant into cwm recovery,
i flashed recovery through cwm and selected boot into recovery. when i get into recovery and select reinstall packages, I get mixed messages.
i tried flashing cwm with the initial update.zip it puts on the sd, little bar shows up at the bottom and gets about 1/3 of the way, and says
E:/failed to verify whole file signature.
installation aborted.
Went into clockworkmod folder on my computer retrieved the recovery-update.zip, renamed it update.zip. I tried putting both of these files on the sd card root, /external_sd, phone internal memory and the sd folder on the phone. nothing works
Am i doing this wrong?

Have you tried the fix permissions option in CWM? I have had strange errors like that before and that helped.

can you be more specific please?
it says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands.

search for 3e modified recovery in the dev section

reply
that might help me if i knew what it meant. im just learning about this stuff but it seems to be getting more and more complicated all the time
I guess this post is dead.
Thanks for the help guys.):

Go into SuperUser and see if it runs. It sounds like you lost root. If that is the case you may need to re-root it.

What do you mean you flashed recovery through cwm? If you can already use cwm you shouldn't have a problem.
Have you tried downloading ROM manager from the market? You will need to have your phone rooted to install cwm through ROM manager.

U r probably on the 3e recovery and have to get back the 2e recovery don't odin back to 2.1

Run a search before posting and you will most likely find the answer! :]
It works for KA7 too.
You probably just need the steps of putting it into shell root > script from 3e recovery to 2e recovery, then you're good to go.

I just odined a new kernel and after that, my phone went into cwm recovery and i flashed nero v.3. everything works great.

ClockworkMOD now works with 3E recovery?

EDIT: This is not a result of ROM Manager, this is a result of installing Overstock 1.4.3 which also installs CWM recovery.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I don't remember this ever not working.

I am having issues with 3e. No matter how carefully I follow the instructions (flash->reboot->reinstall packages always fails) when flashing recovery from current Rom Manager and Premium License, it does not work. Additionally, the premium license is persistent in my applications list and no premium ROMs ever show up in my download list. Even when I select Vibrant MTB and either 2.x or 3.x, all I get is a message that states current recovery will be used. I'm still going thru posts for a possible solution.

Try putting this in the root of your internal SD, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice.

Yeah, I was misinformed. This is not a result of ROM Manager, this is a result of installing Overstock 1.4.3 which also installs CWM recovery.
If anyone want to do this it is really simple with the SGS kernel flasher app. Download your overstock kernel of choice from here or your choice of kernel that includes CWM from the dev bible, unzip it, move the zimage to the internal phone memory and then choose that file as your kernel with the SGS Flasher.
Note: I have not been successful with going back to stock kernel when I tried to but that may have been because I didn't disable the lag fix.

I'm 100% stock on 2.2Froyo except for root/unlock and am puzzled by this. I know it's not ROM Manager because it worked on my first SGS4G which died and totally bricked after a week (TMO exchanged it happily cause it wouldn't even go into download mode or charge).
What's in this update you linked? Cause I'm smart, but not as smart as most of the posters here and I recognize only a couple things in the file.

It installs CWM.
Are you using a Vibrant or SGS4G?

SGS 4G for TMobile.
BTW... I totally appreciate the help here. I don't know the ins-n-outs of the android phones like I do IOs, not that I'm all that up to date on that either.
Update... Still does not work. I get the failed signatures error and the update is aborted. I tried doing a factory reset and re-rooting the phone in case something didn't work correctly and get the same error. At this point, it's all gravy since the only thing I really needed was the unlock but now I'm in a "I just want to know how this works" mode.
Thanks for the help.

Ok yeah that my be the problem since that zip is for the Vibrant. So just to be straight, you are unable to get CWM on your SGS4G?

That's correct. I can't apply any update.zip nor does flashing CWM recovery work. It says it's flashing but then when I do the 3 button reboot to get to recovery, it's the 3e version still and when I go to reinstall packages, it starts but then fails as it tries to verify signatures.

Samsung s5360 stocked on recovery mode.

Just wondering if you can help me guys.
So, after i've rooted my device and placed CMW version 5.0.2.6 into it. suddenly after clicked reboot system in recovery mode, it just returns to recovery mode. Its like a reboot loop, but its in the recovery mode. PLEASE help me.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

How did you install cwm?
There's only two ways to get cwm on 5360
Temp cwm
Flash this in stock recovery every time you need cwm
Perminant cwm
This is built into a custom kernel & replaces stock kernel & recovery
If you chose the later it's most likely the kernel you
flashed is not compatible with the rom/file system you are using
More information about what you are using & what you did is required
If all else fails flash stock rom via odin and start again
