Hey everyone, I followed instructions on flashing the CWM recovery by using root explorer and then flashing the update.zip, i've seem to run into a brick wall here. I booted into recovery 3e the samsung stock recovery that came with my SGS4G then i reinstall update, it continues until it cant verify the signature on the zip file... im stuck! Am i doing something wrong?

Sounds like a corrupt download. Redownload and make sure you push the recovery to the right place and the update.zip is at the root of your SDcard.
Also please keep all questions in the "general" section.

Yupper.....signature verification errors are always 1 of 2 things:
1) not properly signed
2) corrupt download
Just for future reference.

Thank for the fast reply! I downloaded the zip 3 times already lol, and i know i have root because i used rage to exploit and i've overwritten the recovery in /system/bin with superuser permission using root explorer as explained in the thread... would it make a difference if i pushed it via adb? i was unable to push due to adb recognizing as read only so i opted for the root explorer.
Push the recovery?
sent from the pits of hell (from an sgs4g)
"Recovery" as in the binary modification required for cwm is what I meant, not cwm itself
If you want to push it you need to be in root in adb. Should make a difference though. I did it with root explorer.
sent from the pits of hell (from an sgs4g)
That's what i thought.... hmmmm and i did have my shell root on but i was still unable to push files, but still it shouldnt have mattered what method i chose to overwrite the binary with, as long as it was successful (supposedly)

no. i'm talking about the 'Mount R/W' button on Root Explorer. That's what lets you replace the recovery that's already in your system/bin/ with the one that drhonk posted - or you get 'permisson denied' error.

I had CWM (Krylon’s Version) working in a previous install of KD1 from Kies upgrade. Then I hosed my upgrade to BFrost ROM. I have Odened back to Whawks KD1 this the second time just in case it did not take on the first try. Both times I cannot get CWM to go in recovery. I have replaced system/bin/ recovery from a fresh download and placed update.zip on the root of Ext SD. I know recovery was over written properly because the date changed and Root explorer did not error out. I even restarted the phone 3 times to make sure it set. When I go to recovery and select ‘Reinstall Packages” I’m getting :
E: Can’t Mount /Dev/Block/mmcblk0p1
E: Can’t Mount SDCARD:Update.zip
It makes it sound like Recovery file is not taking. I did not have this problem with my original KD1 install before I hosed the system. Any thoughts?? I’ve tried many times with same result.

I'm thinking it's a rights issue. This Rom has given me a couple FC's. One of them with SU so I may have a flaky SU. What's weard is that I know I changed the recovery file. That was the error I was getting when I frist tried installing it last month until I replaced the Recovery file.

not in superuser. you need to change permission in the program your using to replace the recovery file since its a system file

You can odin a ROM that's gotten rooted so you can use quickreboot or adb to get into recovery mode, then you can use CWM from there if you had it installed already. I just had to flash an old rooted ROM to be able to get to recover my CWM backup.

Ah man I just got my phone to my liking lol.
I think I'll wait a bit though as this is almost like a KC1 for froyo. Leaked build, so there will probably be a final build avail via OTA and Kies.
nothing better to do might as well flash and play lol worse comes to worse can always odin back and recover with clockwork
super!
flashing rite now. let you guys know how it goes later.

Just flashed with no problem. Everything seems to work fine. I dont see much changes just some of the menu settings. Phone seems to run smooth. Gonna use it for a bit and let you guys know.
Thanksssssssssssssssss!!!
To going to download mode first you must open ODIN. Assume your phone is off. Then press and hold the volume + and - then plug the USB to your PC. You should see a BIG yellow triangle on the phone said Download mode. Hope this helps.
Keymapping is changed in GB. Not familiar with your phone nut on the original Vibrant GB bootloaders now require one volume key instead of two.
FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
Hello Everyone,
Problem: Infuse will boot up and you see the ATT screen then 2 seconds later it sits on the SAMSUNG screen.
I have tried just about everything posted. I even tried the Infuse unbrick Odin pkg.
I CAN get into download mode. I can flash with ODIN. But upon reboot the phone goes back to the SAMSUNG screen.
How did I get here?
I had was running ZEUS. I had the issue with ppl not hearing me unless I turned speakerphone on and off for every call. I did a master reset. I had an issue with something else so I tried using a CWM flashable file which caused the problems needing the master reset.
I have tried many things but I am stuck.
I am trying to get an ODIN kernel that is moded like the V8 community kernel BUT all the links are broken.

I can only use ODIN files because I can ONLY get into download mode. I can NOT get into recovery to use any CWM files.
I have been trying to find ODIN kernel files but the ones available the download links are broken and I pm'd the OP as well as others that need the files but still no luck yet.
Can someone please post an ODIN kernel for me to try.
Edit:
Just to be clear I have now flashed the Unbrick ROM several times. It will load up and install. I get a green pass in ODIN but on reboot I see the ATT screen then stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have started to flash odin kernels from my captivate and tablet. They do get past the ATT screen and no Samsung screen but all I see is grainy stuff all over SO that tells me that changes are being made. I just need to try with an INFUSE ODIN kernel that might convert to ext4. I think that will solve the problem.
btw- thanks for the help...I am just ticked trying to get my phone to work.
I just need one damn file or small command to wipe the phone so it will take the stuff we are trying to push.
FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
I went through the same thing about a month ago on mine... I eventually found the same file you did... it was a pain and since then if I've bricked I've flashed ultimate unbrick then flashed stock Rogers and it resolves my issue... I keep both saved on my computer now

Follow the easy steps.
This will bring to how you bought the phone.
SECOND to all with BLACK screens.
Turn off the phone using power and volume up and down.
While plugging in the phone to the USB. Release power button.
This may take multiple tried, but you will get the download screen eventually.
Its all about timing.
YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BE BRICKED.
The down loader is not on the internal memory,
it is on a FLASH ROM separate from everything else.

Thanks guys i rooted it. next step ROMS
Rooting does not brick the phone, but being rooted gives you the ability to brick the phone. You do not need to be rooted to flash roms. The first thing that should be done is to install Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery onto the device (search the forums) using the one-click flasher. If you are simply rooting and using Rom Manager that is a good way to F up your device. If you install CWM recovery then you just flash a pre-rooted rom if you are changing roms. No need to root first. A total waste of time. And to be safe you need CWM on the device's physical recovery partition (not bootstrap version) before you do anything to your device.

This phone is almost impossible to actually brick. This is probabyl just a bad flash. Redownload the ROM, boot into recovery, wipe, wipe, wipe, and reinstall the ROM and the correct Gaaps.
If problem still persist, you will have no choice but to use Odin. Search around in the forum or Google. Good luck.

Huh? Odin is for Samsung devices, not for LG devices.
Unless there us something I don't know about, don't use Odin in g2x. Unless you do want a brick.
Just re-download the rom and try again.
For root just use One Click to root. It's easy.

Sounds like you did not remove the battery from the phone first. Or you are not pressing both up and down volume together and keeping them pressed continuously.

When I do that, It just shows the LG logo and restarts. Another loop.
[EDIT] I'm a noob. I've been looking in to this for hours and just now realized it said both up and down. Derp. Now I can get into CWM recovery mode, but I still cant seem to get my device to actually boot. It's either recovery or the blue LG.
