Ever since I flashed to the unofficial release of Froyo for the Captivate, I get an error when I try to apply an update.zip file in 3e recovery. It won't even let me into Clockwork recovery. I've tried a factory restore with ODIN (JF6), along with a Master Clear.
The exact error I get is this:
--Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:Signature verification failed
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Installation Aborted.
Any help or ideas to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated
It won't work.
You need 2e or CWM.
Ok. Excuse me, cause i'm new to all this, but how do I get 2e back. I had 2e on there before hand, and as soon as I flashed 2.2 from Samsung it turned to 3e. Everything was working fine, cause I acutally had your ROM running but decided to try the stock Froyo to see if I could fix some problems with one of my apps.
EDIT: Gosh I feel like an Idiot. Never even tried recovery on 2.1. Sometimes I just get a bit ahead of myself. Guess I am gonna have to make do with a different rom if I want Froyo.
flash a kernel with 2e recovery
Use ClockworkMod Recovery to install your "update.zip" files. 3e recovery requires files to be signed. 3e Recovery is also standard on Froyo, so simply "flashing a kernel with 2e" means you'll be running a rom on Eclair (2.1).
For your phone to get into Clockwork, the only file named update.zip on your phone, should be the one that was downloaded through ROM Manager. Any other compilation of files that you want to flash to your phone must be named something different.
Phone to DL mode, use Odin (attached) put the attached file (unzip first to get the .tar) into the PDA slot and hit GO that will put the 2e Kernel on your phone use CWM to put the update.zip on your SD reboot install package and there you go.

Ok, my bad.
Now that's a solution for JI6. There are quite a few ROMs on JK3. Is that JK3 compatible? Bottom line is that Froyo is native 3e recovery. I'd rather deal with 3e recovery & use CWM vs. patching 2e recovery.

JK3 is a i9000 rom. it hasnt been out long enough, but since its an i9000 rom, you would need a reoriented kernel in order for it to work with the captivate anyway....which means that a dev that has made the kernel would have added that feature in.

Hi there,
I'm a newbie to android. Just got my i9000 (international version of Galaxy S) for two weeks which I like it very much and flashed it to the official Froyo 2.2 (Build ZSJPD, which to my understanding is based on the European JPO) straight away. But only recently that I find out that it can neither boot into the recovery nor the download mode via the 3 button method, which makes flashing via the Odin impossible for me. I tried to download the Rom Manager to install the Clockwork Recovery Mod but I faced the same problem as the top message of this thread, i.e. it cannot get into the unsigned CWM recovery as it is running the stock 3e recovery.
Nonetheless, thanks to the "Quick Boot App", I was able to go into the stock recovery mode by clicking the dedicated button. So my question is:
Is there any way I could flash the stock kernel back to 2e recovery, given the above condition, so that I could run the CWM recovery?
Is there any apps, which would actual install a different kernel so that I could bypass the stock kernel?
Hope big guys out there could give me some hint and show me the way! Otherwise, I would miss a lot fun and can't even apply the Universal lagfix.
Alex
I thought the i9000 had a different button combo to get into download mode?

i think you would do better to post this question in the i9000 forums, or better yet, SEARCH the i9000 forums for the answer as you are currently in the CAPTIVATE forums. we have different hardware buttons.

I have the samsung infuse 4g and I have tried the methods in these forums to replace the 3e recovery with the modified version that allows unsigned zips...but when i replace the reovery file in system/bin/ nothing happens it does not change the recovery at all and it will not accept unsigned...I also tried the odin flasher to put a infused kernal on it and it bricked my phone twice, but I used g2g's ultimate unbrick and it works excellent...what can I do???
PS: I am rooted and used root explorer to replace the recovery file!

Did you change the permissions? Rename the original to something like "recovery.bak." You also need to install clockwordmod from the Rom Manager app(get it from the market) After that boot into recovery and select the "reinstall packages" twice, which should get you into green CWM.

I you are rooted and on stock froyo, use SGS kernel flasher from the market. Use it to flash the community kernel v8. That will give you modified 3e recovery, and in my opinion its the easiest method.
PS. It will take about 10 mins to flash this first kernel because it has to change the partitions to ext4.
You can find detailed instructions in gtgs infused v2 rom.

not exactly,
it will give you cwm recovery voodoo lagfix edition and eliminate 3e recovery all together.
3e is stock recovery for froyo and gb on Samsung phones. what I must ask the op is what OS version and what carrier are you on?
edit: if that's a Rogers infuse as I see you are on Rogers then you may need to use a custom kernel to use cwm. take your pick of any gb kernel, they are all built on Rogers sources.
Okay, so my phone came with this build number already, KJ2, it's a sidekick 4g, and i successfully rooted it, but i wanted to install custom roms and other kernels to improve performance.
From what I understand, you need to have cwm to flash custom roms, I think. Well thing is, i can't even flash cwm. The phone already came with recovery 3e, which cannot install unsigned packages or whatever... and i see the only way to downgrade to 2e from what i've searched, is using that CF-root zip file, but well, there's no such file for KJ2.
I have wasted 2 whole days just trying to do this and trust me, i have searched, and i know how annoying it can be for noobs to be posting questions here, but sorry, i really have searched all over the place and i'm making no progress. I can't even get past flashing a custom recovery in order to flash other kernels and roms.
Is there any possible way to do what i'm trying to do?
since is rooted go to krylon360 dev thread and download the update and the recovery thingy then go to youtube and type sidekikc 4g all in one and it should be there and download and only hit the batch file
i did that, but it just boots to the normal recovery, not the clockworkmod. also if i pretty reinstall packages, having already replaced the recovery file and put the update.zip in the sd card, it tells me signature not verified, and the installation fails. also everytime i'm in recovery mode, at the bottom it says manual mode, and it says appling multi-csc, installing multi-csc, and it's just there, literally forever, nothing happens.
U got to use the fake flash by sdduvick on that thread

well i have a new problem. i used odin and switched the firmware to KD1, but the recovery is STILL 3e, not letting me do anything. how can you downgrade 3e to 2e?
Im not the best with this but did you repartition? Would that fix the recovery problem if so?
you mean repartition on odin when flashing the firmware? yeah i did that, and the recovery mode is still 3e, which will never let me move on. oh well...i see not many people know about this problem, i'm just one of the unlucky ones
In order to downgrade your recovery, you will need to use Krylon360's modded recovery.
Use my script from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15831175&postcount=124
double click on the .bat after enabling debugging on your phone (Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging), it will set up recovery and reboot you into recovery, you'll need to press "Reinstall packages" to get into CWM.
his link doesn't work
After painstaking deliberation, they had reached the decision to eat gingerbread. Cautious and deliberate by nature, they opted to install stock 2.3.6 using Kies, presumably the safest choice. KB5 had been having a hard time connecting to the pc via usb with debugging active - no choice was given how to connect to pc, and Kies was not recognizing the phone. Finally bypassing the usb hub allowed Kies to recognize the device, and after a long download, a usb error message flashed up and process failed. Removed phone battery and reboot, all is well but SCREW KIES

Probably the most creative thing I've seen here all night. Kudos to you my friend!

Downloaded the stock ODIN version of GB 2.3.6 KJ6 .tar here to flash via ODIN but phone will not connect via usb at all now. I think I reverted it's firmware back to the paleolithic era somehow. Could someone share the link the newest ODIN? I have v1.85 and I think also 4.03?
Unless anyone has any ideas, looks like CWM may be my only chance. How can I upgrade firmware if the method used to update is inoperable? Whenever I go into download mode it will not connect with USB. Instead windows says
"USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached tho this compter has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. For help with this problem, click here."
Great bricked in a factory reset version of kb5 ugh. And this all happened because I tried to use stupid Kies!
Son of a ginger biscuit I figured out why it would not connect it was the 6 FOOT CORD I had hooked up for convenience it WILL NOT GO INTO ODIN OR KIES without the original 3' cord wow
Don't know if it was related to the Kies failure or not but now I am up and running though I cannot flash any .zip with cwm, says signature not verified, and I cannot find a toggle, I have 2.3.6 running now, rooted with super one click zerg, recovery 3e, is there a difference between "rom manager" and "cwm"??

Definitely stay away from ROM Manager, from what I've read. You're getting that signature verification error probably because the phone now has standard recovery vs. CWM. That's an assumption on my part, though. You would have to ODIN one of Drhonk's modded kernels that comes with voodoo/cwm/root to get CWM installed. Within the standard recovery there is not a place to toggle the signature verification.
Considering you're on KJ6 now, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 and grab drhonk's KJ1 kernel. Put it into the PDA section of ODIN and flash it. Then you'll have CWM.

I had the same issue when I first started. ROM Manager is an app used to download & install custom ROMs, make backups, etc., but it does not work correctly on our phones. "CWM" (as used in the context of the SGS4G) is the custom recovery menu we install to do basically the same things. Anyway, follow stephen_w's instructions to install a custom kernel and that will solve your issues.
Awesome response stephen_w. A link! So much info out there I'm compiling a small database but when I need something it's usually back to search!
I was up and running KJ6, trying to install .zip files from root of sd card using cwm. Did not work - error was E:\ signature verification failed
So, decide to ODIN back to KB5, and try to load cwm, upgrade via cwm, and see if there was a glitch there. Did not work. Upon ODINING back to KB5, download screen has different look, and phone bootloops at Galaxy S logo. I'm about to ODIN flash 2.3.6 again and hope that it works....
This all started because Kies failed (presumably due to length of cord) the KJ6 from Raver that I ODIN'd in I THOUGHT was all stock actually came with CWM and super user preloaded. CWM did not recognize su.apk in the root and was therefore less functional. I fixed permissions and the error went away, but many icons were still greyed out. I wanted to bring back my apps/data from rom manager backup, but my recovery would not work. It would not open the .zip files, and there was no toggle to enable/disable signature verify. This may have been because I did not buy the pay version of CWM, or I don't know how to use it properly. Do you have to somehow flash the recovery to enable CWM? Is there a particular recovery designed for KJ6 SGS4G??
Also, what is the "bootloader update" option for in ODIN?

Weird; I've not had the signature verification error with CWM, only with the standard recovery.
When you went back to KB5 you went from a Gingerbread (GB) ROM to a Froyo ROM. Froyo & GB require different boot loaders so if the ROM you flashed did not have both boot loaders, then you get stuck in a boot loop. Going back to KJ6 will probably get you going again.
This all started because Kies failed (presumably due to length of cord) the KJ6 from Raver that I ODIN'd in I THOUGHT was all stock actually came with CWM and super user preloaded.

You might have problems recovering to GB ROMs. This is due to an error in CWM for GB. The problem prevents the /system partition from unmounting. From what I've been told, you have to flash back to a Froyo ROM, like Bali, to do the recovery then flash back to the GB ROM afterward. Not sure if that's your problem here, though, as I've never used ROM Manager.
It would not open the .zip files, and there was no toggle to enable/disable signature verify. This may have been because I did not buy the pay version of CWM, or I don't know how to use it properly.

I've never paid for a version of CWM. I've always used one of drhonk's modded kernels to get CWM. Installing the KJ1 kernel I mentioned earlier should do that for you.

My best ODIN advice: Let ODIN decide what needs to be checked and what should not. I've not used the "Phone Bootloader Update" feature. Don't go anywhere near the "Phone EFS Clear", either. I've a feeling that would wipe out your IMEI and other things.
See if you can get Raver's ODIN Stock KJ6 to install, then install drhonk's KJ1 kernel. Once done, reboot into recovery mode and see if it is CWM Red recovery, which is should be. Note the version number at the top and report it back here.
If all of that works well and the right version of CWM is there, then maybe we need to examine what ZIP you're trying to flash. Maybe it's a corrupt file.

UPDATE 20:02 ownloaded "rom manager", re-enabled VOODOO, rebooting. I think I get what's going on here. The file system is being reformatted / partitioned every time voodoo is enabled/disabled. I'm assuming the enabled mode is ext4 partitioning. However, cwm must be installed during fat32 mode, thus the reasoning for enable/disable voodoo. Can't wait to try this out, is it really faster than stock KJ6?? Love the look and feel of the rom already!

Yeah, since being on GB I've been unable to get into recovery unless I use an app like Quick Boot or using ADB from the Android SDK.
Rom Manager and CWM, to my knowledge, are different animals. Good luck getting it going; it sounds like your 95% of the way there.

ROM manager doesn't work on the SGS4G. Your best bet right now is titanium backup, or flashing the bali kernel for 2.2 if you want to make a full backup using cwm recovery.

are you on gb? the 3e mod doesn't work on gb because the recovery file is in the initramfs. when you see it in the file system that is just where it is mounted but it is actually being held in ram so when you shutdown it is no longer there, instead a new copy of it is loaded into ram from the kernel image. the actual binary is inside the initramfs files that are compressed in the kernel zImage and not accessible with the normal file managers, the only way to change recovery is to edit the kernel zImage files and flash it to the phone. that's not a task for anyone which is why we have odin and heimdall flashable kernels that skip right to cwm recovery. the 3e methods are for froyo only.
i will note that if you have root you can flash a cwm kernel with sgs kernel flasher but the only gb version that can be rooted is rogers stock and needs a version of superoneclick with the zerg rush exploit which uses a usb cord anyway so there is no reason not to use odin or heimdall unless you have already done the rooting.

I did however download and install a pre-rooted GB for the infuse but no CWM.... so where can I find a odin flashable JB or ICS?

then you can flash jb

Ok, thanks for explaining that to me, I've been at this for a couple days now. Yes I am on 2.3.6 is there a way to flash a jelly bean or ICS rom through odin? I have odin and understand it a bit more than heimdall.... where might I find a couple? I'm used to being able to throw a rom on the sd card and away we go!!!!!
I did however download and install a pre-rooted GB for the infuse but no CWM.... so where can I find a odin flashable JB or ICS?
Thanks!!!!!

i think there is a ics odin package but i never used it. jelly bean is different for the infuse because it is mtd. i don't think odin is capable of flashing mtd roms and if it is the packages would be very different... as similar as ics and jb are they couldn't fit the system files on with jb and had to move over to mtd partitioning. ics was able to fit on the bml partition that existed so it hasn't been converted over.
Hello.
I'v trouble for instaling CWM recovery.
That is what i'v try to do:
-Install CWM from Rom manager
Does'nt work. Phone still boot on original recovery mode
-Install 3e modded recovery before install CWM from rom manager
Doesn't work. Can't copy "recovery" to /system/bin. (Using terminal emulator / root browser / file explorer )
-Install CWM with Odin using this trhead:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578555

If you are on gingerbread or lower, download SGS Kernel Flasher free from Play Store. The CWM Synthesis 1.2 Ghz link is working and this is the one I always use! Select flash zip and let it flash for about 20 minutes and that's it! U must have over 80% battery or you're dead
If still not working, try Odin back to stock with root from this link: U must have Samsung drivers installed on PC first.

Then SGS Kernel Flasher+CWM synthesis!
Ah, sorry, i've forgot to update my post.
Yesterday,
I tried ODIN to get CWM and 2.3 GB beside but my infuse get bricked... (Option C, in infuse 4G dev' forum )
In fact, it was stuck on samsung logo while booting, after the flashing
I've tried one-click unbrick, and, curiously, despite the "successfully unbricked" status, my phone get hard bricked.
It don't boot at all. lol
I laughed...
So...Can i send my phone to service center or something like that ? Or, it's dead for ever ? :'o
PS: Sorry for my english, again. I'll try to do my best.
Clarification

Does flashing CWM synthesis with SGS Kernel Flasher require modded recovery file in sytem/bin. On my rooted (Framaroot) GB2.3.6 UCLB3 Infuse there is no recovery file in system/bin and all other files in this directory are grayed out .Copy recovery file to System/bin fails even though the file system is mounted RW. Thanks. ff I am in the wrong area, apologies.

No! If you're on stock gb with root, sgs kernel flasher from Play Store basically flashes the clockwork mod (cwm) aka gb recovery on your infuse to allow flashing of roms via recovery! So no need for any additional steps if you have a stock gb infuse 4g with root
