instead of chasing newbies and directing them individually with 3 people giving 3 pieces of advice i though id make a thread explaining 2e/3e what it means, and how to get around the e: signature verification error all in one place.
First, the 2.1 stock rom had 2e recovery. this recovery accepted flashable .zip files as long as they were named "update.zip" . this recovery mode was easy to use to flash roms, kernels, root, modems, cwm recovery, themes ect...
many of the tutorials on this board were written when 2e recovery was still the standard. and many members restore to stock jf6 2.1 and use the same files they have been using the whole time. this creates confusion with newcomers who read old articles for rooting and other mods.
3e recovery is standard in froyo 2.2. it only accept digitally signed update.zip files and forces a full user data wipes after any flash. if you have stock froyo you have 3e recovery! you can not install root or CWM via update.zip with this recovery mode without mods like the old tutorials for 2.1 tell you. but there are solutions to this, and we will cover these below..

what to do?
there are several options, the quickest for you will be based on your end goals
you can either mod 3e or replace it. it can be replaced by flashing a kernel containing cwm in odin or in sgs kernel flasher.
1 if you wish to stay stock but rooted with the ability to flash from recovery the quickest way is: root and mod recovery. either one can be done first depending on which methods you use to mod recovery.
2 for the obsessive compulsive there is this option: flash back to 2.1 with 2e recovery, then you can install new rom, root, cwm, ect... via the update.zip method without issue. Many users consider flashing to stock, a cleaner rom install, but now as most full rom zips do a wipe on install (erasing the stock), this is no longer true.
3 flash cwm enabled kernel via odin, having cwm built into a kernel bypasses 3e. and is your fastest route to custom rom flashing.
4 for those who want a stock 2.2 rom but a modded kernel can root via rageagainstthecage then install sgs kernel flasher or galaxy tuner from the market and flash a kernel containing cwm. this isnt gone over because it is self explanatory
there are many other variations, but these are the ones that made most sense to me
ROOT:
there are 2 methods to root.
1st (old) root method is via update.zip in stock or cwm recovery. this can only work in 2e or after 3e is modified. this was made for 2e recovery. directions are in the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725555&highlight=root
2nd method is to root via rageagainstthecage. this can easily be done with superoneclickroot (automatic) and if that fails there are tutorials on how to do it manually.
superoneclick can be found in the thread below. Make sure 'superuser' app gets installed on phone, if root is successful but no app is present you can download the superuser app from the market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
if the superoneclick fails here are detailed instructions to manually root via rage against the cage:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827544
FIXING 3e:
method 1 (automatic)
you can fix 3e via batch script on a windows pc. look at post 3 below from TRusselo. This method works with and without being rooted first, root can also be achieveved later by either method listed above.
url for download is below: remember to disable you antivirus/anitmalware software
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19201431/Files/3e_fix-Unzip-ClickInstall.zip
Method 2 (manual)
First root your device via 'superonclick' [directions are above], then copy the fixed file over the old one via ADB, terminal emulator or a root file explorer. I prefer root explorer but there are free apps that can do it. most free apps will require you to mount the system as r/w in terminal emulator first.
the fix file and detailed directions to Manually fix 3e are found in the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
at this point you are ready to install cwm recovery via update.zip or rom manager and flash whatever you wish.
FLASHING TO STOCK AND USING 2e: ( obsessive compulsive )
this is not how i do it by the way. but some people like to flash the phone and flash to stock to restore original files and wipe as much data as possible before flashing a rom. in my opinion it is not needed 90% of the time but some roms are weird, and may require original stock files and dont force wipe on install. i may flash to stock if i run into trouble occasionally.
use odin3 one-click downloader 1.0 to flash to 2.1 stock. if you have a 1007 or 1008 (found under the battery) check to see if the phone has working 3 button combo, if not use the 3-button fix with odin3 flashing utility version 1.3+ . If you have rogers and dont want the AT&T to be the splash screen there is a rogers version here. once the 3buttons are fixed avoid flashing with a one-click installer. flashing bootloaders is risky, not that risky but why do it if you dont have to?
Odin3 One-Click Downloader
[optional, removes all data, even wipes internal sdcard] once on the stock rom with debugging enabled you can preform a master clear with the oneclick installer. it does a factory format of the entire sdcard. oneclick is found in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
sbl.bin 3-button fixes can be found in these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812434&highlight=3button+fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439
if you need one of ^these^ you will also need to use adb or a jig to get into download mode. there is likely an explanation in each thread somewhere in the replies, also the adb commands are outlined in the "safe" jf6 odin thread above. if you avoid odin oneclick you will only need 3-button fix once.
rogers roms are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
now you can use update.zip files in stock recovery.
REPLACING 3e WITH CWM:
if you intend to flash a custom rom it will be rooted so there is no need to root. instead you can fast forward to replacing 3e recovery by odin flashing a kernel, for this i use speedmod kernel. which kernel you use is irrelevant because it is only temporary. instructions for odin are all over but in the case of flashing a kernel there is no need for any pit file or repartitioning. make sure repartition is not selected, place the kernel in the pda slot, it must be in ".tar" format. put the phone in download mode and press start. this takes no more than 3 seconds and is what i use most often.

did you root before you tried manually? you will need superoneclickroot if not. make sure you properly change the file system to read write. are you using adb? or working from the phone?
if all else fail you can swap kernels right from the phone in sgskernel flasher(after you have root that is), just download a kernel that is built off kb1 and has cwm baked in
I was working from the phone, without adb because I didn't see that in the OP. I am rooted with superoneclick root already...Where can I find the sgskernel? (I really should have payed closer attention in those programming classes). I apologize for the newbie questions...I have had my Cappy awhile just decided to start modding it.
EDIT: I have the sgs kernel flasher... it dawned on me to check the market.
Dani897 thanks a MILLION! I have it figured out! I am now running Phoenix Ultimate! I am so excited...I truly appreciate it. I am going back to see if you have a donate button to donate to you!

I see now, thanks again..
I wish this was here when i needed it last week! or i probably just didnt see it... took me forever to find a sloution but i found it! I used sgs kernel and flashed speed mod. fixed it perfectly
I tried doing the child friendly version,it did not work for me, all went through except temp root,i am rooted,and it wouldnt let new try again what am I doing wrong need help desperately

I haven't tried this yet but expect it's exactly my issue since my phone is only a few weeks old. The update.zip file gave that exact error and I had to use SuperOneClick to root my phone.
After I try this I might get brave enough to load a new fancy rom but we shall see. I'm in no hurry.
Warning!!!! Do not flash these if
A. You dont know what you are doing
B. you have not already done a manual update to EE4
C. you do not understand what they are for
XDA, any developer, or myself are NOT responsible for anything you do to your phone.
All packages are compressed in .rar form they need to be extracted and flashed with odin. If you are a developer and just want the deodex system...well you know what to do. Also Notice Using a custome kernel on EE4 is required for root but this also write protects your sdcard for some reason so just be aware.
First package:Fully stock kernel, recovery and system(this will come in handy)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4stock_DXC.tar.rar
Second package: Deodexed system, imnuts modded CWM , stock kernel (not rooted)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4deodx_DXC.tar.rar
Warning having a Custom kernel Write protects your sdcard when trying to mount to your PC otherwise everything works
Third package: Deodexed system, imnuts modded CWM, jt voodoo kernel (Rooted)
www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4dxvodo_DXC.tar.rar
Again if you need instructions on how to flash these just hold off till we can mess with this build some more.
Awesome, but, definitely holding off on this.
So we're supposed to update to EE4 before installing any of these packages?
Sweeeet. Thanks driodxcon!
Dammit, you never figured out the sdcard problem?

Sweet thanks as always.
Kinda curious tho if we are already running your AB build with a custom kernel with Voodoo and lagfix how will we go about updating to EE4 so we don't mess up and loose root access in the process. Thanks in advance for any input.

Kind of a tedious process, but here is what I did:
1) I disabled the lagfix (create a folder called 'disable-lagfix' in /sdcard/Voodoo)
2) rebooted the phone to disable the voodoo lagfix
3) ran the stock rooted ED1 ODIN file (which I created )
4) took the OTA ED2 update and lost root
5) downloaded the EE4 update file (http://goo.gl/XTDA9) and renamed it 'update.zip' and put it on my sdcard
6) booted into recovery and applied update.zip and then let it boot
7) flashed JTs rooted voodoo kernel and his CWM in ODIN (you should probably delete the disable-lagfix folder after step 6)
NOTE: I didn't wipe at all during this process.
I have EE4 and JTs voodoo kernel and I've confirmed that I have root access.
Now it's time to get rid of this orange and brown crap... again :/

so after the whole 9 yard process of getting it back to stock and then updating all the way up to EE4, when you flashed JT's voodoo kernel, you still maintained all the capabilities of the EE4 update? currently, i believe it seems that flashing a ROM like altered beast (after you've updated to EE4 from stock), makes the functions of the EE4 update disappear?

You may want to reconsider as I don't believe you will get the radio/baseband update if you do not take the OTA update.

ok...i have a semi-bricked phone.. i mean semi-bricked because it's functional, but I can't seem to restore from my backups or flash other Roms in CWM recovery.
so, the story goes..it's a long story but please read!! i am in dire need of help!
I was on the latest Infused V2, and have previously tried CM7, S7, hellraised Roms, etc.
so I was kinda experienced in switching back and forth between Roms from CWM.
Yesterday I felt like trying bigfau's port of DlevROM 5.0, which i managed to flash successfully. I made a backup of my infused ROM. DlevROM was missing support for my language so I decided to switch back to infused. but then i remembered MIUI, which I never had tried before.
so I flashed MIUI successfully and played around with it. everything was working but i just didn't like MIUI, so i wanted to restore my backup that i had made earlier that day.
Now.. I had restored previously many times so I thought I knew what I was doing..
when i booted into recovery from MIUI, it was blue. then i remembered from my recovery from CM7 to Infused that I need to be on the same recovery (aka RED) as the one i made the back up in. So i booted back into MIUI, downloaded SGS kernel flasher, then flashed bedwa's Infusion.
I then booted into recovery and i was in RED CWM!
So i proceeded to restore my backup.
it checked md5 sum, it then went on to restore system. I thought it was going smoothly until it started to restore data. then it failed.
here is what CWM says.
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Can't mound /data/!
yeah.. i don't know where I went wrong.. I've never encountered a problem with restoring from CWM..
I only had MIUI, an older version of Infused V2, and S7 in my sdcard so i tried to flash infused v2 and s7. neither worked. i mean they flashed, but i kept on going into a samsung logo bootloop...
so i re-flashed MIUI... so i'm on MIUI right now.. which i don't like =((
i'm only planning on keeping it until someone gives me a solution!!
I've asked for help previously and all I got was a "sorry, use ODIN to stock"
I've never used ODIN to go back to stock before so I don't know how to do it...
I've read up on the ODIN threads but most seemed to have problems with it...
Would Odin to stock (not gtg's ultimate unbrick) give me root and modded 3e? what exactly is it going to wipe? pictures?
thanks for your help... please help... i really don't like MIUI... i want to go back to Infused V2... or DlevROM once bigfau puts in the language support!
please help

Use this
This would give you root and modded 3e. Odin would wipe EVERYTHING
Just follow the instructions on the page and you should be fine. I've done it a couple times.
Don't worry too much. Its not bricked or anything like that.
Reboot in recovery, and flash the infused ROM that's on ur phone. This should work.
Thumb rule: When moving between ROMs, install the ROM clean, and then restore ur backup (of the same ROM) on top of it. It could be a disaster restoring backup of a different ROM.
Just fyi, I had the same problem trying to go back from MIUI... I've used the ODIN/Root+3e on numerous occasions to basically start over BUT it keeps all my files like pics,music,contacts etc. so don't be intimidated by it..it works. Once you've done that you can re-flash S7, V2 or whatever you want.
Make sure you've got your drivers installed (download samsung kies to do so) and when you open Odin, you right click and run as administrator then follow the instructions.
ok, thanks guys! I will give both a try! =)
Another Solution:
1. Use GTG ultimate unbrick with PIT file to restore partitions. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD GTG ULTIMATE UNBRICK FOR ODIN.
2. Flash community kernel v8 in Odin in order to root + clockwork mod. (Put the downloaded file in the PDA slot of odin)CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD COMMUNITY KERNEL FOR ODIN.
3. Flash whatever rom you want to use.
4. Restore your backup for that rom.
5. Enjoy.

ok guys..
i just tried GTG's odin back to stock (not ultimate unbrick)
computer recognized my phone,
folllowed every step to a TEE,
and then the phone rebooted itself and i saw the ATT bootscreen, so i was in a relief.
then after the att bootscreen the screen just went blank.... dark... pitch dark.. and nothing seems to work...
so i downloaded GTG's ultimate unbrick, and followed the instructions to a TEE and still the phone screen turns black right after the att bootscreen...
ok.. so what do i do now..??
Edit 1: So I booted into stock blue recovery, deleted all user data, and rebooted and it workedd!! yay~~ now push the community kernel and restore? right?

INSTALL
------------------------
1.) Download and extract the desired kernel package from the section above.
2.) If needed, download the Odin exe HERE.
3.) If needed, install the latest Samsung USB drivers. You can get these by installing Samsung Kies, which can be found HERE.
4.) Place phone in download mode.
5.) Open the Odin exe; if your phone is recognized, the window under ID:COM will turn yellow.
6.) In Odin, click on "PDA" and browse to the tar.md5.
7.) Select the tar.md5. Make sure it shows up in the PDA window, and then click on Start. Do not power off or disconnect the phone while Odin flashes the package and reboots the phone.
8.) You're finished. If the progress window in Odin is green and reads "PASS!", then you have successfully flashed the kernel / recovery package.
FAQ
------------------------
1.) I flashed the stock UCLB3 kernel and now I can't access my external sd card. How can I fix this?
In UCLB3 based roms, if you flash the stock UCLB3 kernel after using a custom kernel, you will most likely have trouble seeing your external sdcard. To fix this, use Root Explorer (or a similar app) to edit /system/etc/vold.fstab. In Root Explorer, browse to /system/etc and choose "Mount R/W" to gain write permission to the directory. Open vold.fstab in the built in text editor. Change the mmc2 in the last line to mmc1. Save and exit. Reboot, and you will regain use of your external sd card.

We're all set!
Thanks, Jesse.
Note to any user:
If you are on a GB ROM and lost recovery or in a boot loop, one attempt would be to flash just the GB kernel to get back into CWM recovery. You may not need to flash the entire ROM.
Likewise, if you are on a ICS CM9 ROM and lost recovery or in boot loop, you can also try to flash just the ICS kernel to get back to CWM recovery.
If you can't use Odin, use the Heimdall's. If you can't use the Heimdalls, use the Odin.
edit: (after thoughts for new users)
Also: If you are on any stock GB build and flash one of the GB kernels, you don't need to perform any superoneclick, modded 3e etc. You can proceed directly into CWM recovery and flash with you want. If you want only root, check out jscott's root thread or my root thread.

Thanks man, and thanks qkster for pointing out how these kernel / recovery combos can be put to good use. What's this I see: we're limited to 8 thanks per day? Guess my thanks button will have to wait until the morning.

check my sig. Kernel thread has Xda direct download of the cwm flash, from which the kernel can be extracted and flashed with sgs kernel flasher.
You can do this once you have a non stock kernel in place.
All this assumes gb, btw.

Frustrated
Somebody please help me. I put my wife's infuse back to stock (UCLB3) First I couldn't root it. Then I flashed the stock rooted with Odin. I proceded to install CWM with the 3e file, and ROM Manager. That didn't work. I also tried to flash this kernel (UCLB3) to see if it would give me CWM... Nothing! I am close to loosing my mind. I could do this **** all day long on my Epic 4G but for some reason this phone is kicking my ass.
One thing I'd like to point out is when i power down my phone and try to go into recovery the option to "reinstall packages" does not show. That is the only thing different i've noticed than all the videos and tuturials I found on the thread. Somebody please help me.

Okay, where you lose me is "the 3e file and ROM Manager." Sounds like you're not following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27283140&postcount=1
Make sure, first of all, that you're flashing this one, especially if you're flashing back from CM10. Flash in Odin following jscott30's instructions to the letter. To add CWM, download one of those kernels. Open up the zip file and pull out the zimage and put it on your sdcard (the internal one). Download SGS Kernel Flasher. In SGS Kernel Flasher, choose to flash the zimage you just put on your phone. It will ask to reboot. Reboot and Bob's you're uncle! You have CWM.
Finally, I feel bad for posting here because the dev forums are being overrun with Q&A questions like these. So, apologies to everyone else. However, I've been there and wanted to help you out. In future, please use the Q&A forum if you have a help question.
Wow whizz, thank u very much for the help. I know some moderators would get mad at what u dis. But man I was literarily loosing my mind. I evwn rhrough the phone at my wife cause I was so iritated. I folowed what u said. Extracted zimage and flashed with the kernel app off the market. All I gotta say is thank u very much. Now wheres that thank u button?

How to get stock kernel with any rom?

1. Not going to happen with JB or ICS roms.
2. GB (and Froyo) roms - make sure to disable voodoo lagfix from CWM recovery, reboot and allow conversion process to complete. Then flash a stock kernel using Odin, Heimdall, or SGS kernel flasher. You will lose CWM recovery and some ADB capabilities.
Good luck...

How do I update my kernel to 3.0?
Sent from my Infuse 4G
Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM
I already have Gingerbread 2.3.6/ UCLB3 on my Infuse. How do I root and install CWM on the Infuse. All the guides seems to be upgrading to 2.3.6

i thought in order to install gingerbread you have to be already rooted ???
i am not sure, but you can try download cwm from google play and choose the first option

Not necessarily, you could get 2.3.6 with Kies mini when ATT released it.
Look in this thread for guides to root. Read, read and read some more and make sure you have Heimdall or Odin on your PC. Follow guide to install correct drivers too.

Still Confusing. My infuse already has Gingerbread with UCLB3 installed( I bought this way). I just want to root and CWM installed. Any guides out there how to do it.
rooting and CWM on stock 2.3.6
Still confusing. This phone has stock version of Gingerbread 2.3.6 with UCLB3 firmware. I bought this way. I just want to root and Install CWM. ANy guides out there? This is not froyo and all the help out there shows how to go back to GB or upgrade to 2.3.6/ uclb3 ... like that. I already have UCLB3 firmware and why I need to install it again?
Probably because the links we provided had a rooted version of 2.3.6.

See post #2 or #3 in the first link qkster provided - these are Heimdall packages that will load a custom kernel/recovery with CWM. These will not reinstall the entire rom. Follow the instructions in post #1 if you are unfamiliar with Heimdall.
Or, if you are more comfortable using Odin see this thread and flash any of the three options in the OP that say "red CWM":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698367
**Before you flash the new kernel/recovery, visit the page shown below, download the first package under ARM devices, then copy the zip to your internal SD Card (if you are uncertain copy it to both).**
Home page for SuperUser - http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Direct link to SuperUser installer - http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Once you have installed the custom kernel/recovery, let the phone sit for about 5-10 minutes - you will hear a voice coming from the phone - this is red CWM non-destructively reformatting your system, data, and dbdata filesystems from stock RFS to ext4 upon first reboot. It is important to let this process complete without interruptions. Once the phone boots, shut the phone down and boot into recovery then flash the SuperUser package... when completed reboot into phone OS and you are rooted.
