Hey guys is there a one click unlock to unlock this phone instead of terminal emulation and enter all those codes.and also can I flash thru rom manager?
Don't use rom manager. And just call Tmobile to unlock the phone for free

So the only way to flash a rom is to use eugenes recovery method? I downloaded the update zip file but it keeps on saying signature verification failed
Have you even looked at the Bible thread ?

Did you mean CWM recovery? I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881. Both methods work for me. The zip file for the rom must be put it in INTERNAL SD.

I have ROM Manager and everytime I do that reboot into recovery, my phone reboots but I get rainbow screenthat doesnt goaway. So I was thinking about the 1st method but I have no clue what how how to use 3e or how to get it onto my phone can you help me?
Do not use rom manager for anything ....except to flash to clockworkmod....the easiest way is to use Odin to flash community kernel that has CWM injected into it then flash away....rom manager is a bootloop waiting to happen...

So here is my dilemma. I have the Galaxy S4g the stock firmware version 2.3.6 gingerbread. Since this update, my phone has become less and less stable. I therefore would like to try out some custom roms. I have my device rooted using superoneclick root.
Tried to flash CWM Final, following the instructions, including pasting recovery in the system/bin folder. Further research led me to the understanding that just using this method will not work with a device running 2.3.6.
Problem one, was when I tried to paste the recovery file, there was not in the /bin folder. I did notice that the recovery file is in the root directory of the phone. Can I replace this recovery file with the modified one in the root directory, and then will this allow me to flash CWM ?
If not, is it possible to even flash cwm onto the GS4G? IF so, I am sure that there is a how to out there somewhere.
Some help would be greatly appreciated here.

Try flashing the KJ1 Dr honk kernel with Odin in the following link

I feel its the fastest way to get cwm then in cwm you can flash whatever rom you want and then flash bhund kernel as mentioned above.

I had the same issue. recovery goes in sysbin folder.
next make sure the rom you eventually would like to use is in your root.
next you'll have to use heimedall and flash the appropriate kernal (kj6 is what I used, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380331
reboot after that and make your necessary changes to the mount system as required by the dev of your desired rom, and follow their instructions to flash.

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

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?

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

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.

1) Good
2) You need to be unlocked to run custom kernels and/or roms my friend. Here's EZ Unlock thread in case you misplaced the apk:

3) You need a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) to flash kernels/roms/anything from XDA.
Edit: Also backup your IMEI prior to flashing anything in recovery. Here's how to do this, you must be rooted to backup appropriately:

Download EZ Recovery and tap on CWM then flash CWM 6, this version supports our unlocked bootloader.
If you have a bad download, try re-downloading the AOKP rom again.

Thanks, TwitchyEye...
I've read the articles...I'm still learning.
Before I experiment with installing any custom ROM's or
upgrading to GB, I wanted to make sure I had my existing
ROM backed up.
Apparently, I am unable to boot into CWM recovery.
If this helps, the recovery installed on the SD card is:
clockworkmod/download/download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-galaxys4g.zip
I copied this file to my computer & unzipped it. It unzipped into 28 files, none of which was an
image file.
As I said before, maybe I'm way out of my league.
Thanks for the reply.
All you need to do is flash a rooted kernel with cwm already in it. Read the second post in lumin's guide. I think you are confused about how recovery works on this phone. It's in the kernel.
OK...as I understand it, I have to download a program called Odin and a
kernel and flash the kernel using Odin.
I do know how to get the phone into download mode.
I'm still a little nervous about doing this (although I was able to
root the phone without any problems).
Thanks again...
You have got to be adventurous when it comes to flashing. Luckily this phone is very hard to brick. Even if you get a boot loop with no cwm you can still one-click to stock and try again.

As I understand it, I need CWM recovery in order to back up my stock ROM...and ROM manager
is giving me all these error messages.
So...in order to get CWM recovery, I need to flash a custom kernel that includes it.
According to what I've read, I can either use Odin or SGS Kernel Flasher.
1. Which should I use
2. Which kernel should I select
Thanks...
Any particular reason you want to backup you stock ROM?

You gotta walk before you can run. One-Click yourself back to GB Stock and worry about it from there. That way, if you get screwed up, folks have a baseline to assist you from, and can "unwind" whatever it is you have managed to do to yourself.
