On 2.2 froyo stock rooted . I get E:Signature failed Installation aborted
every time i try to get cwm
How did you go about getting cwm?

I used the update.zip to root of sd and recovery file move to system/bin overwrite method
after i get into the android recovery and try to re install all packages i get the error
Did you make sure the root explorer app was set to r/w and not r/o? Also you can Odin a kernel and get cwm that way. Its easier imo as well.

There is a link to the Odin kernel if you want to give it a try.

now phone says
in the speaker
"convert system partition system is not available"
i think its bricked any solutions
try booting into recovery. Hold power and volumes then release power but continue to hold volumes. Give it a minute. When(if) it boots into recovery, then navigate to the "Voodoo" tab and disable everything.(Click on anything enabled). You will boot up normally then.
Its not bricked. A lot of people went through that. Give me a moment to remember or find the solution. Its been awhile since this issue. One question though. Why not try gingerbread?

it actually went into recovery thanks
also i had the valhalla rom on it but now cant find it in the install zip from sd ever since i factory reset it in Cwm
Seems your looking to flash a gingerbread rom. If you flash Valhalla while still on froyo your going to have bootloader issues. Fbis251 has a great gingerbread starter kit that you should have a look at. Its in the dev section.

Has anybody got a version of CWM that will work on the sgs4g? I accidentally flashed the galaxy s CWM from rom manager before finding this forum. Nothing has changed on the phone, except if i boot into CWM recovery i always get verification errors.
Also, are there any ROMs for the sgs4g that is running 2.3.6?

This may just be a noob question and I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm running 2.3.6 as well and want to flash Valhalla Final onto my device. The instructions say you must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery. Do I need to use Heimdall and load a kernel with clockwork recovery or is there another way to get the CWM? I am still learning the basics of all this stuff. Forgive my ignorance.

Save the wiki to your bookmarks. We're updating it constantly so you'll always get the most up to date info from there. Also spread the word when other users need help, point them to the proper section in the wiki .
Thanks to everyone for their insight. My sgs4g is no more now. Luckily, I learned a lot about flashing with it before it died. Including unbricking. Still haven't gotten heimdall to work. But I think I have been trying to run the regular exe instead of the front end. We'll see. Hopefully I get paid this week to cut on the internet again. Killing me here.

Hey everybody, so I might be posting in the wrong section but since its a question I figured I'd post in the Q&A. So my question is since I still have froyo BL and on CM9 can I still flash another rom even though my recovery has the rainbow effect? In recovery the top 1/3 is rainbow but the rest I can read good. I want to flash revolution rom. And I would Odin or heimdall back to stock and go from there but I have no PC. So yeah would it be safe to wipe all and flash revolution even though I'm on a froyo BL, blue CWM and on CM9?

Yeah, you have had to wait a really long time for an answer. I figured folks were just waiting for you to check out the other threads with the exact same question.
Just messing with you, and you'd really be fine to flash the rom that you want to flash. Your best bet would be to get set up right, though. To get rid of the rainbows, it's not too hard to get Gingerbread bootloaders. Follow the instructions in this post to a "t", including the part in the FAQ about how to get red CWM, and you'll have everything you need for a rainbow free rom flashing experience. It will get you set up on stock Gingerbread with custom recovery. Then you can flash any of the other available roms.:

Huh thought process like that will get up you no support....
so i just picked up a SR from a guy on CL. he had a build of SkyIcs on 4.0.4 on it. how ever he wiped the device before i got it, there are no system sounds on it. so, i started researching some roms to flash to this like my sgs2 and cappy before it. ive read just about all of them. for some reason i cant get it to work. i found the one i like and downloaded akop_skyrocket_build-38. downloaded that along with darkside and 20120429 gapps as outlined in teh list of what to do for that rom. after flashing the darkside, i cant get anything but the darkside wipe to flash. i downloaded ChimeraVsSkyrocket_Beta2 and DJ-ICS-Plus-V2.0 and they all fail to install...... something about install aborted.
i am using cwm v5.8.4.3
upon opening cwm:

Try using TWRP instead of CWM. You might have better luck. And don't bother with the superwipe, it's really unnecessary.

Use one of the touch recovery versions. If that does not work. Start with a fresh Odin ics one click or stock Odin flash of gingerbread. Then root, install recovery, and flash the rom of your choice.

The only thing that's weird is, on 2.3.5 since I flashed stock, I can't download anything from the market. I had to resort to evil ways to get the xda app just to post here...... weird indeed....... and the software update says I'm IP to date. Which I know is wrong......

No it wont work he needs to update to antonx's kernel first. Read his op he has CWM 3.xxx and that will not let you upgrade to cm7.

The wiki says to use 5.0.2.x because 3.x.x.x versions DO NOT work. You're giving the wrong advice again.

But the first time you flash it,doesn't it update it to blue, and then you can use that to flash cm7, right?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
It flashes directly into the ROM and boots you CM7. Maybe you should try what you're recommending to do before you try giving people advice, you're relaying it by the way you understood it which isn't necessarily the way it actually works.
Go back to stock, try to flash CM7 from CWM 3.
Go back to stock, try to flash CM7 from CWM 5.0.2.X
Come back when you know what happens and you'll see why the instructions in the wiki are the way they are.
When you're in doubt about giving advice, read the official instructions. We try to make it as easy as possible for everyone to do this.
mierkat, to make things simple there are 2 different version of "RED" CWM. The old version was back on Froyo and the early gingerbread leak custom kernels. We have moved on from then, and there is a NEW version of the 5.0.x.x CWMs. This is because bhundven's sms kernel's and fb's sms kernels used them. On all the current-ish GB roms like vb fb and other new ones, you have 5.0.x.x. So you are safe if you flash CM7-CM9-AOKP-AOSP by erikmm-other TKA-other TNo0b-etc... from these newer Touchwiz GB roms. The best way to check is by booting to recovery. If you have 3.x, then I recommend downloading Valhalla-Black by FBis251 which can be found in the general section. After flash, without rebooting, go to the main CWM home menu, then go to advanced, then choose reboot recovery. You should now be in a 5.0.x.x CWM. Here you can have fun!
EDIT: FB beat me to it
I see, sorry about that. Was confused because i thought the red was always 3.x and blue was 5.0.x.x. When i flashed cm7,i just followed the instructions in the wiki

Here's phone info prior to the mess:
v21y
mokeeOS
latest gb harsh kernel
CWM v5.0.2.0
I went ahead and tried to flash a new rom and a new kernel. I guess it wasn't compatible and got stuck on boot animation for over 30mins. So i thought I'd pulled the battery. I did a nandroid restore (used it before and works) and it wont boot into the system. It just goes back to recovery.
Then I tried to flash mokeeOS and harsh kernel. After rebooting it goes back into recovery.
I tried many roms / kernels that previously work and it still goes back to recovery. I tried nvflashing recoveries (CWM touch, twrp), same thing happens. Now what should I do?
update: I flashed stock recovery. It shows an arrow going out the box and an android.
update: this clean up batch tool fixed it for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24635755
