iv read the how to guide, it was very helpfull, however when i put my clockwork file to my sd and name it update.zip, and try to re install packages at the recovery menu i get this error:
E: failed to verify whole-files signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
iv read that once i get to clockwork i can turn signatures off.. is there a way to do that with the recovery menu? thanks alot
You gotta search for the process on changing that sig requirement. I just did my first flash too. Its not hard @ all. After you change that file out, clockwork will work. Good luck. Im on my phone, but ill try to look for the quote on what to do for that sig stuff for you.

Search for "[recovery] 3e recovery modded w/ no verification" to download the file and these are the exact steps I followed: good luck.

@davidis57: i had the same problem as you did... but i just followed existz's instructions and got it to work
delete the update.zip in the sdcard root
delete the recovery in system/bin
paste the new recovery in system/bin
open rom manager and reinstall clockwork (even if it says it's already installed)
select 'reboot into recover', and it will take you to 3e recovery
select reinstall packages - this will take you to clockwork
big thanks to existz. works on rogers captivate on stock froyo.

This is the process I followed to replace the 3e recovery on the official KB1. Went off w/o a hitch & I finally flashed Serendipity this weekend. Good luck!
Awesome! everything went smoothly after that, im now on serendipity ROM, sooo much better
Glad to hear, enjoy

spoke to soon maybe, minor problem is when i boot into recovery mode, the enter button is now called "ok" before it was "power" anyways my power button does not respond at all, i pullled bat and luckily went to clockwork, and i could reboot. any ideas on this one?
Ummm lol. Haven't read anything on that... Try posting that question on the q and a section. Or try re doing cwm. Orr if its really messed up, flash back to stock and start over.. Oorr just wait for another response.

I don't know if ur recovery has this option, but on CWM you can turn the verification process off, if u are sure your file is ok.
I flashed a new kernel too today and i had to try it 3 times in a row until the flashprocess proceeded.

Hey man, are you successfully booting in to CWM recovery, or are you getting the Samsung recovery screen?
It boots me into thesamsung recovery screen, not cwm. Thamx for the reply.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
In that case, you'll need a modified 3e file in order to get CWM up and running instead of Samsung recovery: Modified 3e Tutorial
I tried the modified 3 e file. I renamed it and and copied it to the root of the sd card.. Reboot into recovery and selected reinstalled packages once.. It gave me the error of saying the file does not exist on mnt/internal_sd card selected reinstall packages and same error. No luck here been trying it for days. Thnx for the reply.

Find and follow the ultimate unbrick instructions. It'll get you rooted and have cwm.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
are you using Rom manager to get CWM
if so, i have noticed that i have the same problem unless i do everything twice, including the install CWM portion.
i have install CWM 2 times, the reboot into recovery and install packages 2 times to get to the CWM Recovery.
otherwise yes i would say just flash the Ultimate Unbrick and get into it that way.
I did use ultimate unbrick.. supposedly to go back to stock. Some file from serendipity infused rom are still on my phones, cant get rid of it. And now the base is uckd5.. what dies that mean. I did partition when doing ultimate unbrick.. and do I have to root again? Confused here. Thanks for the reply.

.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........
You forgot to adjust the permissions of your new recovery file.
then dont use the Ultimate Unbrick, use another back to stock method. i use gtg's other Md5sum with odin to flash back to stock after i use the Ultimate unbrick because the ultimate unbrick does not allow unsigned packages, so i run the Ultimate then i Run his other Back to stock to get past the unsigned error and Flash the Update.Zip that Rom manager makes to get into CWM......
after that i just WIPE and FLASH like crazy........lol
if i get hung up i just rinse and re-use.

you just go to install zip from SD card, then select choose zip (maybe those are in reverse order - i'm not in recovery right now, so this is just from memory, but you should get the gist), then find where you saved the serendipity zip on your SD card, select it, go to yes... and that should be it, assuming you are coming from stock froyo.
I went to install zip from sd card but I dont see the S7 zip file. I did copy it to the root of the sd card cuz when I reboot back to system I see that its there but not when I try to install it from sd card in cwm. Hmmm anyone.. Help.

Ok.. I tried stalling the S7 rom thru vwm (instal from sd card but got an error. Finding update package..
Opening update package...
E: cant open /sdcard external-sd/S7.Infuse 8.26 zip.

Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong? Anyone? If I reboot into recovery I still cant find S7 Infuse zip. I know its there but doesnt show up. All I see is update.zip

this question should definitely go in the General section or in the Clockwork Recovery thread, just so you know
if you are in stock recovery, you can get into Clockwork by choosing 'reinstall packages', provided that you have followed the instructions in the CWM thread and: 1) replaced the recovery in system/bin with the modified recovery binary from the thread, and 2) placed the update.zip from the thread on the root of your sdcard.
or u can follow sduvick mod on krylon thread
nice! I didn't know he made a script for flashing CWM.
Can someone tell me why every time I try to flash a new rom on my daughters sk4g in recovery it goes straight to the screen with reinstall packages so I pick it and it errors out and can't go further???

You probably need to visit the Recovery CWM thread and either manually replace the recovery in system/bin with the modified one and put the update.zip(clockworkmod) on the root of you sdcard... Or use sduvick's script in the thread to do those 2 things for you. Then when you reinstall packages it will take you to Clockwork Recovery.
I cant get passed the WipeData/factoryreset.
replaced recovery in System/Bin
Update.zip in root of SD.
this is what i get
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
then thats where it freezes then i gotta restore using ODIN.
any help would be greatly appreciated

hmm, that's weird. and you are getting into orange CWM by doing 'reinstall packages' in the blue stock recovery? if so, I'm not sure why that would be happening...

Try to odin back to kd1 or kg2, Then use the recovery from krylons thread. This part is important, do not use rom manager to update your recovery, the version on rm is either corrupt or unstable. This happened to me a couple of time when I first tried it too. The problem was rom managers recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
Should I completely delete CWM on my SD card then, and then repeat the process on krylons thread?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App
Yes, do exactly that, delete all cwm files you have on your computer and sdcard, and start all over, using krylons thread.
Ok Just need to confirm this
When I rebooot to recovery. I get the original. screen with two errors. However when I click reinstall packages. It shoots me to CWM. IT does that every time.
Am I safe to Flash? Or did I mess up some where

I am having the same problem with clockworks recovery mod but if I go to recovery from rom maniger app I got from the market it gose right into the clockworks recvery if I use any other app for rcovery it go into stock recovery and thin I have to reinstall pacage and thin it works but that's what I know about it and I fallowed the thread to the letter
if you installed rom manager, then you didnt follow the thread. go to settings/applications/manage applications and under 3rd party, select rom manager. when that comes up, select clear data and uninstall. do NOT reinstall rom manager. next, go to the root of your sd card and look for a folder named clockworkmod. if you find it, delete it. next, go back to the cwm thread and in the first post, look for a link to a file called update.zip. download it and place it on the root of your sd card. to get into cwm, boot into stock recovery and select reinstall packages. you should then boot into cwm. there is no other way to boot into clockworkmod recovery unless you flash a rom that comes with it. the version of clockworkmod that flashes through rom manager does not work right. also, once you have booted into cwm recovery after installing it the proper way, scroll down through your recovery menu and select advanced. then select fix permissions. it will say "fixing permissions...." and will sit for a minute or two. let it sit till it says "done!" then hit the back button and select reboot system now. running fix permissions should stop your random reboots. it did for me. it wont solve the screen lag, but you shouldnt have any more random reboots.
ok i did that. now the cwm do you have to reinstall it evry time you go to recovery or will it stay and the rom manager i got it after i flashed cwm becous it sead it had cwm built in
you have to reinstall packages every time. rom manager isnt gonna do crap for you on this phone. you can flash roms through clockworkmod just fine as long as you do it right, but if you try to start flashing a rom through rom manager, its gonna brick your phone. you can recover from a brick in several ways, but its a pain in the chops.
I rooted my sidekick with SuperOneClick. I downloaded glorious overdose v2 to the root of my sd card. when I go into the stock recovery (which is blue), I clear my data and cache. the only other option to flash the rom is 'reinstall packages.' So I click it and I get an error message saying
'E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.'
Did I do something wrong?
You need to put cwm recovery on your phone, and then when you reinstall packages, you will go to cwm, then you can flash the rom.
