Well....LOL
Total how many time have you used ODIN, for completing your task (Root & CWM)? in how many lines you can explain your steps?
How many PANIC situations have you passed through?
All this headache could have been avoided if you had searched XDA before rooting your Phone with such a prolonged methed. so please dont recomend the same to others...
Esiest and most followed method for rooting and CWM, is CF-Root, only single line instruction:
Pick the appropreat kernel and flash through ODIN....you have Root + CWM now
Yeah, ROM manager isn't exactly compatible for the S2, so it's not advised to use it. Better off with CF-ROOT and CWM kernel.

Hello everybody,
First I'd like to thank to community for the hard work. I v read a countless amount of pages of this forum and I can't even imagine the time people spent helping on issues or writing tutorials.
So thank you if you re up to spend few minutes on my specific case (and sorry for the bad english).
Here is my device and the different version of kernel ...
1/ Rooting my device (tutorial in french translated from xda)
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/guide-rooter-son-galaxy-s2-39763841.htm
S-Root version used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Everything went pretty well when I rooted the GS2. I got the Superuser app so i figure it's ok.
I just used a modified kernel found on xda who was corresponding the my base band version (just the PDA in Odin).
2/ Installing a new ROM (Cyanogenmod by Rom Manager)
I followed : http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/ and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide (official guide) using Rom Manager premium.
When i tried to reboot in Recovery (manually or with Rom Manager), i can't find the "Install the zip" option, I have 4 available: "Update from the zip", the 2 wiping/delete options and the reboot.
So obviously if i try to wipe files, wipe the cache then to update with the zip I have the following Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
Do you have any idea what went wrong in the process ?
Should i flash the phone withOdin and change my base band version to another one ?
For info, I did the Permission Fix option in Rom Manager too. Didnt help.
Thanks a lot.
U need clockworkmod instaled first..

You didn't install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Thanks for theses answers but I think I installed it with Rom Manager and i flashed it to the last version.

When i reboot in recovery mode here is the only options available (and it's the problem i pointed out) :

As we've already said, you haven't installed CWM Recovery. You see at the top of your second photo where it says "Android system recovery (3e)"? That's stock recovery.
you can't install CWM recovery thru ROM manager.
just flash the CF Root Kernel for KI4 thru ODIN , you will have CWM recovery.
Hmm I understand about the CWM version I'm booting with, but as you can see on the first capture, my kernel version is a modified one i got after using Odin (puting this Kernel : GT-I9100_XXKI4_insecure.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).
I got the root access by S2 Root.
Ok I think I installed only the Kernel and not CF Root available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I ll try to redo Odin and stuff and let you know if I'm still alive.
So it's not great right now. I have installed CF Root with Odin, so I had CWM on my phone (I could see the application). Then after reboot with CWM Recovery and installing Cyanogenmod, the phone doesnt want to start anymore.....
I tried to apply the insecure kernel again with Odin but still impossible to download. I'm stuck on the screen with the yellow sign and written Galaxy S2.
HALP !!
I just tried to put back the official firware version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and put it in my phone with Odin.
Ok, I dont have the yellow sign anywore but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen (where it's written Samsung GALAXY s II)...
What should I try ?
I'm still able to boot with CWM recovery but I didn't make any backup and nothing work.
Do you think the phone is dead ?
5 posts in a row?
So, just to clarify, you've tried to install CM7, which amongst other things tells you to do a nandroid backup, and also to flash twice in succession. Did you do either of these things? The instructions are there to be followed, don't just ignore them.
Ok my bad I didn't backup anything because I had no data to backup. This was maybe a bad move...
Anyway, I tried to flash it twice yes. Right now, i'm working with a modified Kernel (with CF Root), and booting in CWM Recovery. When I want to flash again by installing from the .zip I get a Satus 7 Error.
In CWM, every advanced options are apparently available but I dont know anything about them.
And just so you know, on my SD Card i have 1 update.zip and the update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2.... .zip from Cyanogen.

Flash a stock rom with Odin and then root your phone again. Start reading and follow procedures when you want to flash custom roms again .See Intratechs`s thread for a stock rom
Thanks for your reply.
I did it, it didn't work, I mean i could flash with Odin but the reboot doesn't work : the start screen appeared without the yellow sign, but it's stuck on it.
--- update
FYI, I installed Rom Manager yesterday, it way interact in a bad way with CWM Recovery.
For now i can mount USB by CWM Recovery but cannot do anything else.
If you have a method to clean completely the phone ? Maybe the bootloader is broken...

Install Mobile Odin and flash a CFroot-kernel.
AND DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER known problem with CM
CWM Manager
Looks like you didn't do your "homework" and read up, no you didn't, otherwise you would have read the stickies in the forum on how to root, flash etc
Moral is; If your not sure or confident, read more until you are ready...........
Note: ROM Manager is incompatible with SGS2 as recovery & kernel are flashed to same partition! So you need to flash a kernel with CWM recovery.
Do not flash this kernel if you have a 9100G model.
1. Install Chainfire's CWM Manager app attached.
2. Download a CF-root kernel from Chainfire's thread [14.01.2012][CF-Root 5.2] K/EFGHIJKL*, KP1/2/4/8/A, LA2, LP1/2 -su+bb+CWM4/5. Read his instructions on finding a matching kernel.
3. Extract the kernel "zImage" and place it on your internal sdcard (not external/removable).
4. Run CWM Manager app and allow Superuser permission.
5. Install kernel zImage
6. Follow any further instructions............
when i try and install CWM manager it says "application not installed"

1. Run app and allow Superuser permission if requested
2. Tap "Kernel"
3. Select either internal or externel; where you saved the kernel zImage (you extracted it earlier right?)
4. Navigate to where you saved the zImage and tap
5. Follow instructions ................
Edit: If still unsure, read and search Chainfire's Mobile Odin thread first,........ only then ask there
i god, i think my phone is briked :O i did exectly what u said picked the kernal, then flashed it, now my phone stalls on the start up screen, i can boot into cwm but nothing works in it(E: can't mount) and when i go to downloading mode to use odin, it doesnt detect it?? plz help mee

ALL - via android consule, via odin, and i dont know about other method. with all other devices i had NO problem at all and i flashed many roms before. its the fors time something like that happened to me.
Try this with Odin: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.25.0-i9300.tar.md5 Put it at "PDA". What error gives you Odin ? Is the phone rooted ? Have you tried installing with CWM Manager from playStore ? Also, try TWRP Manager app, as I believe it does not require root to install the recovery. After TWRP is installed, download the CWM zip and flash it. Ypour friend is running stock ROM, right ?
If you're Rooted then download and install "ROM Manager" From Play Store and that'll guide you through installing the latest CWM for your device. This is the safest method i know.
I've successfully rooted my I9300, actually I wanted to install recovery and try new ROMSsso I went to the method with recovery install through ODIN. But it didn't work for me as the matter was overwriting of stock revovery, I tried every method there to somehow get recovery installed. But all failed. Finally went to CF AutoRoot method and I only have root access now, the phone feel a bit slow now.
1. When an root app is run it takes a lot time to prompt me with root grant/deny(precise to say some app shown timeout). What's the problem?
2. Can somebody say how to get custom recovery in this condition?
3. I have backed up the efs and got two backup files as these[efs.raw.img-20 MB & modem.bin-12.1 MB] . Is it all? anything missing?
After getting a recovery I will make a NANDROID Backup. But please help me in the above three questions.
Thanks for your kind reply.
1. Factory reset
2. You can't, not with a stock firmware
3. Depends how you backed up

for the 2. If I can't with the stock firmware how to do it then? Pretty sure there is a way, that's what I'm asking.
Flash recovery with Odin then reboot straight into recovery and flash custom rom, if you allow stock firmware to boot it will overwrite recovery.
There is a guide in sticky thread.

Instead of all those button presses can I just install the CWM through ROM Manager. Is there any problem with that actually?
EDIT: or please at least say me how to block stock recovery overwrite through Terminal Emulator or what else.

efeXTREME Lite Rom v5.1

Hello
im trying to flash the recovery i have the galaxy s3 i9300 international actually says EU model wich means that works only with EU sim cards !! i have download the correct recovery file odin3v185 and i fallow all the steps ( installed drivers kies for windows 8.1 - usb debugging - power button + volume down for download mode and volume up button - blue on odin and its written added - and auto reboot is checked also apd select the apd and the tar file << CWM_6.0.4.7_Touch_GT-I9300 >> ) !! odin says recovery – pass green 0:05 !! but there is no recovery only the stock one in a strage way im going to the download mode again and there says 4 files downloaded … cause i tried 4 times….but no clockwordmode recovery !! i dont wanna root it just to have the recovery instead to back up my stock rom samsung's one and install the << cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-i9300 >> can you explain what should i do i need some help?? thank you very much !!
Imho stock kernel restores stock-recovery everytime. So you've to root. And if you do, choice TWRP-recovery. CWM is obsolete.
thank you for your replay !! so as you told me i understood that i have to root first... but i have read that instead to flash the TWRP or the CWM its not necessary to root my phone !!
So can you explain to me why it goes back to stock recovery and why its necessary to root??
and probably to give a step by step guide to fall to proceed to root cause i have read different articles and im confused now!!
thank you again!!
<<On some S3 models, there is a script that overwrites the recovery you flashed. If you get stock recovery, just simply flash recovery again using ODIN, as soon as you see “PASS!”, pull the battery before your phone reboots. Then do the buttons to get into CWM recovery and do the rest of the root instructions.
Put the battery back in and boot straight into CWM recovery, then when you reboot in CWM recovery, it will ask you to disable recovery script. Do that and you should be good to go.>>
Thank you again !! for me after that step works perfect !!

Don't understand this, but practically: by interrupting reboot after flash, you got custom-recovery without rooting?
Hi yes you can install CWM without root !!! i knew it before posting here and i couldnt understood why its not working!! i dont know why i never read that note probably cause it is in a root guide!! and not mentioned in most videos!! its not important to be rooted instead to install CWM !! this step that i past in my replay its coped from galaxys3root . com But cause i am a new member i couldn't paste the link here too !! its written there as a note in frequently asked questions under steps for rooting thas why its says after that proceed with root !! As it says some galaxy s3 models have this script and thats why this step with battery should be done !!
I have to say that cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-i9300 has some "lags" not something to be afraid but some freezes i thing !! and as a user with stock samsung's 4.3 android now the last hours i have nothing missed from that its complete!! i just thing to install cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-i9300 just to be more stable !!
