Thanks!

Thanks.
I'll have to give it a go later. I just added the modified 3e stock recovery from the other topic and all looks good.

Works
This method works to get cwm installed and working

This has also been discussed, but I'm posting the information from Captivate.
You need modified 3e stock recovery first See Here (3e requires root)
* Download this .zip file
* put it on your internal SD card (/sdcard) via
- ADB or
- mount it to your computer and copy/paste it there.
* rename the .zip to "update.zip".
* reboot into 3e recovery and choose "Reinstall Packages". You may have to do this twice on the first time.
Voila, you are in CWM.

Aaaaaaaaaand its done. Check my other post .

Can someone who has successfully flashed something with CWM please give my ROM a try. Others in my thread can't even start to flash the ROM because their SD card won't mount or stay mounted properly. If you don't want to flash the ROM it would still be helpful if you came over and told us the steps you took to flash so we can figure out the difference. Thanks.

Working with the stock blue 3e-recovery.

Looks like you need to re install modded 3e recovery. The Super Thread in the Dev section has links to the download for it. That or you can use SGS kernel flasher to flash the Froyo CWM kernel (assuming your on Froyo/stock). Also found in the Super Thread. Good Luck!

alright, got the community kernel installed and green-cwm working, but still having the same issue... Every time I try to install miui 1.11.25, it aborts and says, (bad)
I know the download is good, /system is mounted and I do every thing normally, but it just wont install... I don't get it.

I've never flashed MIUI from green CWM before, only red. Maybe try a diff download link or Galnet? Are you wiping data,dalvik, and cache before flash? Also, is the zip on your internal SD card? Sorry for the 20 questions lol

I don't want to flash galnet... Thats what caused me to brick in the first place... Well... Trying to flash out from there. Everyone said flash miui 11.25 right over the latest galnet and they had no issues, I bricked. So I'm trying to assess what went wrong, and get it installed.

[Q] [HELP] Loading a ROM on Captivate

Feeling dumb, but I have successfully rooted and loaded (multiple times) ROMS on my Droid Incredible. Though I can't seem to get ROM manager to load a downloaded (CM7) rom onto my captivate - YES the phone is rooted .
I think i'm missing the bootloader, but i'm unsure. All the phone does is go to "Samsung Recovery Utils" and offers the following options only
*reboot system now
*reinstall packages
*delete all user data
*delete cache data
*format internal sd-card
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong or point me to a thread that doesn't just say "download rom, install from SD card and done"?

let me give you a hint. there is a sticky section.....read

Going from Stock Froyo 2.2 to CM7. but when i go into the boot screen it's blue and gives me the options above. Then when I press the "reinstall updates" I get a
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed"
I must be doing something just simple and stupid, but thought i'd ask anyways. I'll try to find the sticky and see if it tells me something i haven't tried. Thanks!

OR READ MY SIG.... the answer is in there.

@TRusselo: I've tried your guide step by step and I still end up at the Android system recovery and not CWM. Is there a step I might be missing? I downloaded the links you gave, followed all instructions and still same problem.
Thanks alot for the guide, if it worked i'd be even happier about it.

After doing all the steps, did you reinstall packages in recovery.

I tried that multiple times.
my understanding is the text at that point should be green, but it's still blue and gives the same exact error. "E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verification failed"

Alright, I tried the Heimdall version which shows more promise, i'm just now unable to boot into any recovery. I hold the volume buttons and power for the 3-5 seconds and it boots to a boot screen with "TALON" on it. but nothing else from there.
Am I missing something else?

to first issue.... you followed the wrong link in my signature....
" 3e recovery fix " is what you were looking for.... since you were having truoble with 3e recovery.... thought that would be self explanatory.....
make sure usb debugging is ONturn OFF anti-virus for 5 minutes or until reboot
plug in phone.
click the bat file in this file.
you will have THE SAME RECOVERY with NO error
signature verification pass...
flash any update.zip package
but since you have a custom kernel with cwm now.....
What heimdall method are you talking about? for recovery? for flashing roms? what are you talking about. heimdall can do alot of stuff. did you upgrade bootloaders? or??
keep trying the button combo.. if it turns on, it will go into recovery.

Please search before posting, on that note thread closed.

Stock recovery wont verify signature to get clockworkmod, help?

I rooted my captivate 2.2 with superoneclick, its running the stock 2.2 I haven't flashed anything custom. I downloaded ROM manager, clicked flash clockwork mod recovery for my device, clicked reboot into recovery. From there I hit reinstall packages, which is what one of the stickies told me to do. It gives me error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I really need cwm to get a Android backup so I can start flashing roms, somebody help a brotha out!!

You can't flash recovery that way for anything since 2.1. You'll need to flash a custom kernel that already has recovery baked in with Odin.
What ROM are you trying to go to?

rom manager isnt for captivate since 2.1..

Whoops messed that last post up. I assume the newest rom ota you can get is 2.3.4? Just whatever the newest gingerbread is what I'm aiming for. I just really need cwm, basically. Anything with cwm would be amazing

I'd read some of the basic how-to threads again if I were you. There's several one-click packages in the dev forum you can use to get some experience using Odin and flashing in general.

If you haven't read what you are supposed to and are sitting there waiting for a damn handholding session you are in the wrong F'ng forum.
Fix it yourself and gain some damn knowledge in the process.

This thread is over. Chandler507, XDA is a development site. People are expected to do their own research. If you show you've made an effort, people will help you. Sit there waiting for help, and you will unfortunately be flamed. Read the stickies in the various subforums and understand what you're doing before going forward.
To the rest of you - hit the report button and let me deal with it - don't make more work for me.

Any help is appreciated! I just unlocked and flashed recovery EOS CWM R6

same problem
Hi There,
I am at the exact same stage and the exact same problem.
I thought formatting the sd card to fat would do it, but am disappointed.
Did you figure it out?
Regards,
Dom

If you have successfully unlocked and installed a custom recovery, flashing a custom rom like Eos will give you root. Are you wanting only root and custom recovery running stock rom and kernel?

I was hoping to put wingray on it.
I must give that a go, will let you know how I got on.

Got it finally, it was looping for a while but when I wiped the data and a factory reset which did the job.
Thanks man
