How do i use root explorer to install cwm
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Search for modded 3e recovery, there's a video in the devolpment section how to implement it. Then download rom manger, flash recovery, choose i900 then reboot into recovery. If its still the stock recovery select reinstall packages and ban its there.
Or use this odin and 3e will be there, then do the rom manager part. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

Are you rooted?
Personally id just do it with thw odin link I gave you. Back your apps up with titanium backup and your contacts via gmail. Then after you flash it with odin restore apps and install rom manager. Flash clockwork mod, select i9000, then reboot into recovery. Then if its still the stock recovery select reinstall packages then bam its done.

Hey, not to hi-jack, but im having some issues as well... I went with the rom manager method and after downloading the Infused ROM and trying to get into CWM, i hit reinstall packages and still get the blue text... Not sure what to do and am worried about messing something up.
The error i get is:
E: Can't open mnt/internal_sd/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Please help! feel free to PM me as to not hi-jack the thread although it is related

Thtats what im getting

Same error as well? What ROM are you trying to install?

just put a cwm (red) Voodoo kernel in the pda slot in odin and flash in download mode, this is a shorter way than the 3e mod
also if you are already rooted then just flash with sgs kernel flasher. really easy!

i just posted a shortcut to get cwm, but if you already have 3e modded and rom manager you need to go into rom manager and "flash cwm recovery" choose i9000 but not the mtd version. this will put the update.zip on the sd card. then reboot and reinstall packages twice. it wont load cwm the first time, also

I do have 3e and ROM manager. So i'll try this out and see how it goes! thanks for the help Dani and vthonda as well! Going to have to give this a shot in the morning though... wont be able to sleep if something goes wrong...lol.

[Q] Flashing CWM onto rooted SGS 4G

Hey. So I rooted my T-Mobile SGS 4G (stock 2.2 firmware) with SuperOneClick. That was super easy, I tested it out with a few utilities and I definitely have root.
So I went into rom manager and pushed the button to flash clockwork mod. It asked me for superuser status, said it was successful, but then it boots into the stock samsung recovery. I've tried this several times and I always have the same result. I'm sorry if there's an answer on this already but I'll be damned if I could figure out how to search for it without coming up with a bunch of unrelated problems.
Thanks!

Try going into clockwork and choosing boot to recovery then after that if it goes into stock recovery choose reinstall packages sometimes you have to choose reinstall twice. That's how I got mine into cwm first time

Oh no that's the problem, I can't get clockwork to boot. No matter how many times I install it using the installer inside rom manager, the stock recovery boots up.

ROM MANAGER DOES NOT WORK. USE KRYLONS CWM FINAL IN THE DEV SECTION.

Yea I no, but wen u boot into it you get the stock 3e recovery and there is an option to reinstall packages
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

You need to download krylons modified recovery.bin file and use a file explorer app to push the file to system/bin. You need to also have the file update.zip on the root of your SD card. Then you boot into stock recovery and choose reinstall packages. This will boot you into cwm.

[Q] Modified e3 Recovery

Hi there,
I own a Rogers Samsung Infuse. I rooted and flashed CM9 onto my phone yesterday. Long story short, had an issue with Google Apps, and ended up with a phone that would constantly boot to the CWM Recovery screen.
I was able to use ODIN3 to get my phone back to stock, but could not flash CM9 (or anything) with CWM as I was (and still am) getting the:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I tried using this: Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e), but the phone kept getting stuck at the Samsung screen.
I tried watching the modified e3 recovery video on youtube, but my recovery file is sitting in the root folder, and not in system/bin where it should be. I ignored the location of the file, replaced it with the modified e3 recovery file, but when I rebooted my phone, it's as if the changes didn't take place.
I've been digging (maybe not hard enough) for a solution to this problem. CM9 looked fantastic for the 5 minutes I had it on my phone.
What can I do now?

It sounds to me like you lost cwm recovery if you want to flash cm9 you need to flash the ics recovery file. Doesn't verify signature verification

Go back to stock with root and modded recovery then flash the new recovery

I flashed the recovery, reflashed CM9 & Google Apps and it's now working! Hopefully no more hiccups after this. Many thanks, gatoraid84!

Glad you got it working keep in mind different roms heave different recovery files switching roms can switch your recovery

Out of curiosity, would you happen to know of CMW isn't compatible with either CM9 or AOKP's ICS?

Compatible...? You have to be on blue cwm to flash cm9 & aokp ....red cwm will not work...that's why you do a two flash...

My first attempt to get into CWM recovery after getting my phone back to stock and re-rooting put me into red recovery mode for reason. I ended up in blue recovery mode after trying to flash/reboot once? I completed the process in blue recovery to ensure it works, and it's been good since Monday. Only the Kernel Panic Upload Mode is giving me trouble...

I also got this problem
I also got this problem tell me please what can i do , i cant install any modes

You want the blue (ics) recovery to be able to flash an ics rom?
Look at this guide, you will find the heimdall one click linked in the OP.

I can see Blue letters while starting the phone in recovery mode. I assume that is Blue CWM. Please correct if I am wrong. If that is Blue CWM, then I need the recovery file. Please help.
Thanks
Bidhu

Not necesarilly. The stock 3e recovery also has blue letters, but you should be able to tell them apart. It actually says 3e at the top and only has about 3 options to select.

signature verification failed when trying to flash rom

I rooted my sidekick with SuperOneClick. I downloaded glorious overdose v2 to the root of my sd card. when I go into the stock recovery (which is blue), I clear my data and cache. the only other option to flash the rom is 'reinstall packages.' So I click it and I get an error message saying
'E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.'
Did I do something wrong?

You need to put cwm recovery on your phone, and then when you reinstall packages, you will go to cwm, then you can flash the rom.

I have stock recovery but it not allow to instal unsigned filed. I have downloaded stock rom from aftablonely786. Format my SD card . Put stock ropm file in SD Card. Loded the Stock recovery and choose wipe data/factory Reset. Got error E:failed to Mount/ system (Invalid Argument). System Mounted Fail. Then wipe cache partation. then apply update from External storage and choose stock rom zip

Try using a custom recovery like clockwork or twrp. may have better luck my friend. I have never flashed anything with a stock recovery. I didn't know it was possible though I may be wrong.

I can not install any new app bcz my phone do not boo i can only load recovery

You flash recovery in download mode. Another boot mode. Just search how to boot into download mode for your device it will be another button combo after your phone is off. After you get that figured out search a custom revovery for your device. Then you should be able to flash a revovery from your pc. Ill see what I can find for you.
