So I gave this a try on stock JK6

Everytime I try to reinstall packages it says signature failed. I followed the instructions, maybe I got confused somewhere in the process with the fact that there are 4 files to dl and 2 versions etc.

can someone pease give a step-by-step from which to dl then what to do next?

I hate to ask like i need my hand held but it just flat out isnt working for me. Not to mention it is a massive pain to get files to my sd since everytime it says parameter incorrect. I could really use a hand here. I can get fies on the internal after copying to the externa then moving with root exporer, but I am just lost otherwise

If you are on stock JK6 - meaning you flashed JK6 via ODIN and do not have root:
The 2 files you will need to download are update.zip and mod_jk6_recovery.zip
1.) Place the update.zip in your internal sd card (i.e. /sdcard/update.zip). Sounds like you already have a method to do this by copying to external and using root explorer to move it to internal (you can also use adb push).
2.) Boot in recovery and flash the update.zip file. This will root your phone.
3.) Unzip mod_jk6_recovery.zip and rename the file 'mod_jk6_recovery' to 'recovery' and place this file on your external sd card.
4.) Use adb shell to issue the following command
Code: 
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
or use Root Explorer and browse to the /system folder and use the Mount r/w button
5.) Using root explorer (or through adb shell) you will need to delete some bloatware from the /system/app partition to free some space. I got rid of slackerradio.
6.) Use root explorer to rename the following file /system/bin/recover to /system/bin/recovery_jk6 to back up your original recovery file
7.) Copy the recovery file from your external sd card to /system/bin

You can skip the first 2 steps if you are already rooted.

you can also use rageagainstthecage to get temp root and install the modded
recovery.

download and extract ratc.zip
download and extract the modded recovery
Settings>Applications>Development: turn on USB debugging

Code: 
adb push ratc /data/local/tmp/ratc
adb push recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/ratc
/data/local/tmp/ratc

let rageagainstthecage run when you get booted log back in
you should now be root.

Code: 
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/bin/recovery
cat /data/local/tmp/recovery > /system/bin/recovery
chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery
rm /data/local/tmp/recovery
rm /data/local/tmp/ratc

the file system is full on JK6 and JL1 so you will also need to delete
some bloat, you might get Superuser.apk and su but not busybox
so choose something in /system/app to delete I choose slackerradio.apk
because its about the size of busybox and can be downloaded from the
market.

you can also root with the update.zip on the first post which will automaticly
delete slackerradio.apk and install root.

my preferred way is to patch factoryfs.rfs with the modded recovery and flash
with Heimdall.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but might this work to fix a "bitmap indeterminate" error that I get when trying to boot into CW recovery after flashing the JL5 kernel and modem over stock JK6? The phone seems to be working fine in general, except for recovery. I can get into stock recovery, but if I reinstall packages it freezes at the error screen, which is also what it does if I try to boot into CW from ROM manager. I know that I can ODIN a fresh install to fix it, but I don't have a PC and am looking for another option (if one exists).

Thanks much in advance.

recovery has not changed since JK6, so I don't think this will help unless the file
got corrupted somehow.

I figured. Sometimes you just have to ODIN (although this is my first time). Thank you!

stock JK6 that Som posted has 3emodded recovery, JL5 kernel has 3e built into the initrd as well as the rom, I added the 3eModded recovery to the rom so it works as 2e. replace the recovery in /system/bin with the one posted in the OP and you should be fine.

Thanks so much - quick question or two: do I need to delete the pre-existing recovery from /system/bin? and just to clarify, there are two files in the zip, one that has the extension .i64 - which do I use?

Thank you!

Edit: nvm - I see you said "replace".

UPDATE: Successful! Huge thank yous to Krylon and untermensch - renamed mod_jk6_recovery from zip in OP to "recovery", replaced recovery file in /system/bin using root explorer, and I'm back in business. Hell yes.

man, I felt like I was playing an RPG game trying to get my CW recovery to work again lol. I was getting unsigned errors n stuff... I didn't bring my data cable b/c I'm at work so I had to run adbWireless... Root explorer didn't allow me to copy over the modded Recovery to /system/bin so i had to adb that sucker. That's what I get for installing a stock JL5 at launch lol.

Nero 3 here we goooo baby!!!

as always, great work XDA devs. u guys rock. hard.

I'll see if we can't mod the recovery before we leak the next one and re-tar it for ODIN. (No, I dont have a new leak yet, just for when I find one.)

Rock and roll! Thank you since I had to reflash to semi Froyo stock due to a faulty prior ROM. Then I realized how difficult is it to nand the T959UVJL5 Froyo. This is much needed for ODIN firmware update users!

Now, I got to fix the external SD card issue from CWM. :p

    there are a number of problems with the recovery in the just leaked
    Froyo ROM.

    1. signature checking
    2. passing API version 3 to the updater binary
    3. forced wipe after installing an update.zip

    the attached zip has a 3e recovery modified to disable signature checking
    report API version 2 for backwards compatibility with clockwork mod recovery
    and disable the forced wipe after installing any update.

    I don't know of any reason to run this version over 2e but it
    might be useful to someone.

    Installing:

    1. turn on USB debugging
    2. plug into computer
    3. run script and follow on screen prompts.

    UPDATED 01/23/2011

    fixed path error when space in user name

    UPDATED 01/22/2011

    compressed the rageagainstthecage resource to prevent anti-virus detection

    new anti-virus report
    http://virscan.org/report/8e83f338fd7b8631c6b0bc0679efbd29.html


    the /system file system is full on the newer ROM's
    use the attached update.zip to root then install clockwork

    Hi all,
    I'm a noob here and I need your help.



    Could you explain on step by step? I have a rooted captivate 2.2.



    Should I install SDK first? Or just set the phone on USB debug is enough? I really confused.

    I hope this method works properly on my phone because I've tried many methods but I still got nothing. Thanks.

    Click to collapse

    Ok Ill try to help you with this.

    1. get superoneclick root application (its on the forums just search for it.)
    2. plug phone into computer then open superoneclick application
    3. click on shell root (i used psneuter method) in the application and let it do its thing
    4. Once you get a message that you have shell root, download the 3e recovery from OP and unzip to desktop. (DO NOT restart phone!!!)
    5. run the .BAT file in the unzipped folder.
    6. go through the steps and choose to restart when done (it will show as recommended)
    You are now done!
    Let me know how it goes

    you changed the recovery file in /system/bin correct?
    you might need to redownload CWM also
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    actually I just fixed it by trial and error. I used titanium to uninstall slacker radio and then reran the recover program from my pc and this time the file wrote was bigger then before. Now when I reboot into recovery and press reinstall twice I go into clockwork everytime. Funny though is that the first time I ran this it worked and I could get into clockwork but then it just stopped working all together, but I seem to be good to go now.

    Thanks for the help and I'll do it manually in the future.

    I am a Learning noob and cant get into clockwork recovery. First off I have updated to Official Froyo through Kies. I rooted through superonclick, downloaded titanium, got busybox off market and then it updated through titanium. Backed up apps and system data. Downloaded Rom manager it says i have clockwork 2.5.1.2. When i click to reboot into recovery it takes me to the stock recovery 3e and when i reinstall Packages it gives me this error:

    "E: failed to varifywhole-file signature"
    "E:signature verification failed"
    Installation aborted.

    What is it that am doing wrong ? I did tons of research on forums but am getting the spin around about this Recovery3e. Can you guys lead me to the right direction how to fix this ?

    Ok I was having the same problem a you, I'm also a noob. Go to the first post and download the 3e recovery and extract to desktop. Use super one click to achieve shell root. (i used the psneuter method) After that open the .bat file you just extracted and press 2 then enter.let it run. Restart as recommended. The end. Click thanks if I helped.
