Im trying to flash the Clockwork Recovery mod to my sidekick but every time I boot in recovery I keep getting the stock recovery screen. First of all I rooted my phone using the latest version of SuperOneclick Root. Once the phone was rooted I installed both root explorer and rom manager.
I downloaded the modified binary recovery file and replaced it in system/bin using Root Explorer. I used Rom manager to flash the CWM and it supposedly intalled it (it says version 4.0.0.2). I tried to reboot on recovery but it doesnt boot the CWM recovery screen. I the tried donwloading the CWM and placing the update.zip file in the root of my SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and selecte reintall packages and i get the following:
E: signature verification failed.. installation aborted?
Im guessing its the binary recovery file that's causing the problem but I've tried replacing the file again and it wont work. Anyway, does anyone have any idea whats going on and how I can successfully install the clockwork recovery mod??
Yes that would say that it isn't using the correct modded recovery binary. use my modded oneclickroot script to push the correct recovery and update, and it should work.

Thank you so much it worked like a charm!! One question, every time I boot in recovery now, it boots in the stock recovery. In order to boot CWM i have to select reinstall packages every time is this normal??
Currently that's normal. I've got the same thing on mine.

Yes that CWM is a fake flash and doesn't actually replace your stock recovery so you would have to reinstall packages everytime, unless you flash bali kernel which has the red CWM that replaces the stock recovery when you boot into recovery mode
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
EDIT: sniped by ayoteddy.
That is normal, as that script uses the "fake flash" instead of having CWM built into the kernel.
A fake flash technique uses a modded recovery binary that doesn't check for signature verification, allowing us to boot into CWM from a stock looking recovery, even on a stock kernel.
In order to have recovery boot straight to CWM, you need to have it built into the kernel, which currently only exists on the Bali kernel (as there's no need to build it for another kernel).

I know this is very basic, but I rooted the phone and now have to put clockwork on the phone. so the question is, do i use the one click clockwork thing?
what about the rom manager version, can you flash that with a rooted system through normal recovery? or is it like no matter what I need 1 click clockwork on the phone before putting on a kernal that will have clockwork in it?

As of last night there is a shortcut now available.

Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.

Go to this thread and download the .zip of the ClockworkMod kernel. Rename the file "update.zip" and place it at the root of your SD card. Reboot into stock recovery by turning off the phone and then hold volume down/camera/power. There should be an option to install update.zip - do that. Now you can reboot the phone and you should have the ClockworkMod kernel installed. Go to the market and download ROM Manager. Open it up and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. After the file is downloaded select Reboot into Recovery. Your phone should reboot and automatically install Clockwork. Done.
From my understanding the .zip is signed so this should work, although I used a different method as I already had the old Clockwork Recovery installed when I installed the ClockworkMod kernel.
I think that you need either a custom recovery or use redbend ua to flash- the true stock recovery will not work as it is not signed by samsung etc

You could probably flash it from fastboot, but the OP is correct, the 3.0.0.5 update "breaks" ROM Mgr and CWM.
With 3.0.0.0 you can open ROM Mgr, then select Reboot To Recovery, and the phone will quickly reboot into CWM recovery.
Upgrade to 3.0.0.5 and when you select Reboot To Recovery, the phone gets stuck on the white Google on black background screen. A battery pull is required.
Downgrade to 3.0.0.0 and the expected behavior returns.
Seems to be a bug to me with 3.0.0.5. Need to let koush know.
To the original poster, you're aware that if you're on Android 2.3.1 that any fresh normal boot of the phone restores the stock recovery to the device unless you remove/rename the appropriate script in the /etc folder, right?
i have Android 2.3.1
which file i have to remove/reneame in dhe "/etc" folder?
is this different to the way to update the clockwork as on the HTC Desire?
thx

Be aware there are some who think it's risky. I'd advise reading this thread before proceeding, at least the last few pages of it.
I'd also be leary of messing with the recovery until you're sure you're able to get into at least CWM to make fixes if needed (e.g., have CWM 3.0.0.0 working).
Also, I just went to the Market, found Rom Manager (Premium) and scrolled down to the email the author link and sent a bug report. I'm not encouraging spamming him with complaints, but those anxious for a fix might want to report the bug as well if they have it.
i installed Clockwork again from: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html (Nexus S 3.0.0.5)
an installed it manualy with: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after taht i loaded the recovery and it told me that i have 3.0.0.5
rommanager told me i have 3.0.0.0 and there is a update for me *g*
but when i tryed to reboot an go to the recovery again its not possible ... i got an error and had to hardboot - its possible to load android ...
so now ... whats the problem ... i downloaded the right CW and installed it like i did 1st. time ...
i read the link you gave me - found that:

now when you phone boots, it won't be able to run that script to replace your recovery.
That's all there is to it. It's that simple. Root explorer is a file explorer with root access. When you browse to the file, click the button to enable read-write access in root explorer, and then long press on the filename and rename it.

when i have 3.0.0.0 as recovery and i reboot and then reboot to recovery anything is working i kan go to the recovery menue - i have root rights and i can install what i want .. so what is set back with this "bootscript"?
for me everything sounds a little bit wierd ... i am sorry ...
thx

My 3.0.0.5 recovery wasn't there as well. I reflashed it in Rom Manager, and then it worked.
Rom Manager had a problem on Droid 1, where you had to flash the recovery a couple times. I'm hoping that bug doesn't apply to Nexus S as well.
so now its not possible to boot into the recovery ... its 3.0.0.0 or 3.0.0.5 ...
ok i renamed this /etc/install-recovery.sh to /etc/install-recovery.sh.sav now the update seems to work ...
I just finished rooting my wifes phone and had Rom Manager installed CWM yet when I reboot into recovery it starts 3e instead. I also downloaded SGS Tools but dont see a way in there to set the recovery to reboot into.

You need to install the modded 3e and then cwm recovery.
As per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213 thanks.

I was able to install the hacked 3e recovery but when I go through Rom Manager and tell it to Flash CWM it says it does (tried it three times) yet when I reboot into recovery it still comes up as the 3e hacked.
I figured it out. The flashing was creating an update.zip that then had to be installed. All set with CWM.
Hello,
I have rooted my phone yesterday. Now I want to instal a custom ROM. I flashed the phone with ROM manager. Then I select the option: Boot into clockwork recovery. It reboots into recovery but the wrong one. It reboots into the android standard recovery. When I press on apply update.zip it will say signature failed.
I really have no clue what to do, please help me.
Try re-downloading the update.zip file again to make sure that one isnt corrupted
I have the same issue can't boot into clockworkmod. The samsung stock loader shows up
Select update.zip and it should load cwm

It probably didn't flash a kexec recovery. Just boot into recovery and flash a non kexec ROM ...hopefully you have one sitting on your SD card. If not your have to get one there or dd a kexec recovery with adb and reboot with the ROM you currently have installed
I guess he can't even get into recovery, as he said all he sees is wallpaper. He used TWRP recovery, which is NOT Kexec enabled. In order to flash CM, you needed to flash CWM 6.0.1.0. Now, basically your only choice is to either adb the cwm recovery, or just reflash stock using odin (easier option), flash cwm, then reinstall CM.

It's odd his recovery won't open I wonder if goo flashed the incorrect version.
