clockwork failed to verify whole-file signature - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using 2e recovery to make a nandroid back up, then went back into recovery to flash a mod but Rom manager didn't boot into recovery right. A exclamation mark pops up in a triangle, then nothing happens until i press the home button and recovery but with this error "failed to verify whole-file signature". Now i can't use cwm to flash anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try uninstalling Rom manager, then re-download it and re-install it and re-flash it.

Yea I tried that twice still no success

Had same issue with the verification, this is how I ended up fixing mine.
1. Odin with "froyo no brick eugene", and the pit
2. Place CWR on sd card, reinstall updates may have to do this process twice till you boot into CWR, if verification error do the following.... place the
CWR voodoo recovery on. Rename "update.zip" and go about it this way.
3. Once in recovery you should be able to flash any rom, as usual wipe data/factory reset, cache,davlik. Should be good to go, Voodoo CWR has helped me, been through this process twice.

Had this problem also. Try using hardware keys for recovery instead of ROM manager. It happened with eugene gingerclone r2. I think it's because the cwm recovery on the kernel and the update.zip are two different versions.

Hello,
I am on a Samsung Galaxy S (original rom) with froyo.xwjpa and i can't get clockwork to work. ("failed to verify whole-file signature") Kernel: 2.6.32.9 (rooted phone with lagfix)
What to do?
I tried the update.zip via the 3 button method and via the "ROM Manager" (clockworkmod 2.5.1.2)
(I want to flash my phone with the "Darkys_V8.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Wipe")

[RESOLVED]
I went from the Unofficial Froyo to Macnut R14 to Obsidian v4.2 and now to Nero v3. I had this problem on Obsidian, I forced into recovery by holding down the volume buttons and the power button then let go after the vibrant logo is shown twice, then flashed a new ROM and it worked, so after switching ROM's (Nero 3), clockwork is working now. I really don't know why it wasn't working, I was unable to flash any mods, themes, or kernels but a ROM worked.

I'm not to knowledgeable about the I9000 Samsung Galaxy S, even though the Vibrant should be identical except for the FFC and ROM, but you can try this:
Did you try disabling your lagfix?
If not then give that a try. If that doesn't do it, uninstall ROM Manager, then reinstall it, open ROM Manager, reflash clockwork, I believe the newest version is 2.5.1.3, then try the 3 button method.

I have the same problem too (using 3e recovery).
Tried pressing the vol + power keys to get into recovery mode, but still getting "failed to verify whole-file signature"
Pls help...

I just rooted my stock Froyo Vibrant and installed ROM Manager so this is a brand new setup. No other ROMs installed. I am getting the E:failed to verify whole-file signature error with no luck.
Tried the following:
-Reinstalling ROM Manager and selecting "Flash Clockwork Recovery"
-Rebooting using "Reboot into Recovery" - I get stock recovery text
-Selecting "reinstall packages"
-I get the error above
-Turn off phone and use Vol Up + Vol Down + Power to boot into stock recovery
-Select "reinstall packages"
-Same error
I want to flash the Bionix-v ROM, but I want to get a nandroid backup first since I've already bricked a Vibrant before with no backup.
Any help would be appreciated!

Here, this should do it, @ the part where you Reinstall Packages, you might have to do it twice if it brigs you into stock recovery again.

3, Wipe data cache and Dalvik Cache
4. Wipe system
4, Install from zip

[Q] what's wrong with my clock mod recovery?

I installed it through rom manager.
And every time I wanna go to recovery
It goes to the android recovery and not
clock mod's.
I also get a check sum error and it can open something
Can anyone plz tell me what's wrong?
Thanks
Did you follow the steps koush gave in his thread for CWR?
Installation instructions:
1.Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2.Flash Recovery.
3.Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4.Accept the Superuser prompt.
5.On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6.Watch the backup go!

You probably tried to partition the internal memory with clockwork mod. I also had that same issue before my replacement vibrant came. Now I flashed alot of roms and my recovery still looks normal. Im so relieved.

I did that every single step even the re install through

But nothing
you opened rom manager, you selected to flash CWR, then you rebooted into recovery, then you reinstalled packages?
I've never heard anyone have an issue, just trying to make absolute certain you followed the steps before we try anything else.

Are you sure ur phone is rooted. Clockwork recovery wont work until its rooted. For some strange reason everytime I go back to stock to flash a new rom I have to do a full sd wipe. Even when the update.zip file is there for root there's something that on the card that wont let me root until after I completely wipe the sd card.

These steps also do not work for me. When running "reinstall package" it will see the new update.zip file but does not load it. It skips it and just boots back into the standard blue recovery mode. I have flashed and re-flashed about a hundred time. I even tried older flashes of clockwork.

[Q] Trying to boot into clockwork recovery but having problems...

I'm having problems getting into clockwork recovery. When I go to clockwork recovery, and click boot into recovery, it just goes to the samsung recovery, and not the clockwork recovery. This has happened before when I would try it, and when I did it a second time, it would load the clockwork recovery. I'm trying to get into the clockwork recovery to clear my battery stats, as I just flashed Bionix Froyo Obsidian V3.0. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to hit reinstall packages from the samsung recovery? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah just hit reinstall packages I read that with the new 2.2 roms its a lil bug no big deal it will be fixed. For me it reboots twice before heading into clock work! Hope I've helped.

Thanks for the reply , and I tried to use the "reinstall packages" and it goes through the installation, but brings me back to the samsung recovery console. I then tried to reboot the phone, and then tried again (using clockwork recovery console), but it still boots into the samsung recovery. This kind of scares me, because I flash my roms using this method. Any other ideas?

[Q] Soft Brick, can't get past boot screen

My phone crashed this morning after running the daily OMFGB from the 31st for a few days. I tried to restart, it won't go past the Glitch Kernel screen. When I go into recovery, I am greeted with this message:

E: can't open /cache/recovery/log

wiping data, did not help. reflashing the rom and kernel did not help. I still can't start the phone. What are the steps I need to take to fix this as I am currently not able to use my phone at all.

Same thing happened to me yesterday..the only way I got my phone working again was to odin eb01 with the atlas 2.2..reboot fully...I then tried to go back to cm7 and got the same message and the only way I was about to fix it was to flash the com rom 2.0 obviously wipe everything before..let that boot and tried to flash cm7 with the recovery from com rom....still same message...i had to odin otb3.x.x.recovery... Download times infinity's recovery zip and flash that in otb recovery, then reboot recovery so I had ti's purple recovery...wipe everything and flash cm7...and success! I used the 7/17 build cause I didn't want nightly then rebooted from power button menu and flashed glitch and gapps.

Same here. I'm now stuck in a boot loop. I can't even restore a backup.
Edit: Just tried to do a restore and the MD5 Sums don't match. I've had to do Odin reset three times today.
I think I might do Vodoo and try to restore that way. I will report back.

No I don't think its omfgb related cause I've never ran that rom but I do think it has something to do with all the different recoveries we have floating around and so many different builds with different formats things are bound to get screwed up...my problem came from forgetting to wipe before flashing a different kernel and got me stuck in a boot loop.

I've had this problem ever since I got my Fascinate and tried to get CM7 on it. (2 days ago) I was always able to flash new builds just fine if I managed to get into the orange recovery and not the CM7 one. I believe the one I used was the one on ROM Manager.
This is kinda upsetting...

unfortunately a boot loop normally requires odin...use the eb01 tar and the atlas 2.2pit and your phone will be back up and running
From there I would flash com rom and reboot then if you wanna take a stab at cm7...try and flash it with the com rom recovery...if it doesn't work you can just try odin'ing different recoveries as long as you don't let the phone boot fully you can simply pull the battery and try to odin a different recovery.try the one from com rom, the 3-30 fix all, ti's recovery, or jt's fixed recovery...I don't know where I got the file but I also have a recovery named fixed 3 x.x for cm7 but I came remember where I got it.it is important that you let eb01 sit for a few minutes after booting and also let com rom sit for a few minutes after flashing also...I just skipped all the setup stuff to get the main screen and then pulled the battery and started flashing

Did you install ROMManager and install CWM from there? If that's the case it won't work. I did the same thing and it kept on getting the same error you have. Start the root process from step 1 and don't install RomManager. Flash CM7 by booting into CWM using the 3 button boot.
i now have root but with stock recovery 3e. how do i get cwm recovery now. thanks. btw, what is the three button boot.
You have to flash your recovery image using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
Hold down Volume Up/Down and power until the Galaxy S2 screen comes up, then let go of power to get into CWM (CWM = ClockworksMod)

If you used ROM Manager - don't.
Flash a kernel that has CWM (either codeworkx's or mine) using Odin/Heimdall, then enter recovery using the three-finger salute.
If you use ROM Manager's recovery, nothing will work right.
cwm
i have cwm installed via kernel. i do the 3 button boot and get to cwm. i also toggled signature to disabled. when i try to install cm7 over stock rooted image it aborts. doesn't say signature verification failed, something about buildprop. thanks.

Most likely you're trying to flash an I9100 build and not the correct CM7 build for our device (I777).
correct
i believe you are correct. can not find the full cm7att zip. only the update and when installed, it locks at the samsung s II logo. then have to restore my stock backup. thanks.
CM7.1 just got released into stable. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2att
That's for the ATT version. You can flash that.
tried that
that is the one that locks it up, it is an update, i need full. thanks.
I am also having the same exact issue with the verification.

Official release zips are marked as "update" even when they're a full release, mainly because they're no-wipe I think.
The build system names it "update" even when it's full. The 100 MB file size should be a hint that it's not just an update...
I also had this problem, but I used Rom Manager to flash cwm, which I shouldn't have. Flashed back to stock, re-rooted, reflashed CWM the correct way and have no problems.

Error while installing custom ROM

E:Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)
The phone is rooted as I've searched on google and what little I could find says to have it rooted. Not exactly sure what to try. I've wiped and reset everything and still a no go. Doesn't matter which ROM is selected either. Thank you.

My best advice is to unroot and do a complete factory reset and try to root again
Go to rootgalaxynote.com and click the upper right tab to unroot

Just rooted it and checked it with super user downloaded ROM manager set it to Recovery mode from there and still the same error.
You should still try to unroot even if you just rooted. It fixes many problems

Do you have Clockwork recovery installed on your phone? How are you trying to install these custom ROMs? Are you using ROM Manager?
You don't need root to flash a Rom...
Get Odin
Get an Odin flashable version of cwm
Flash said recovery with Odin
Boot into recovery by holding all the buttons till you feel a vibrant and letting off the power button, or the adb command: adb reboot recovery (or since you have root, download a terminal emulator from the market enter the command: reboot recovery, then Grant superuser permission.)
Then Flash Rom in cwm...
Old version of TWRP maybe?
To run the ROM Manager I needed root access. I tried to load the ROM from the ROM Manager and also straight from manual recovery mode.

Trying to install yours and i get
E:signature verification failed
That is stock recovery 3e...
Go read my post above...
THIS IS A LINK TO CWM TOUCH...JUST CLICK ANYWHERE HERE AND GET THE ODIN FLASHABLE VERSION
You do not need root to flash a Rom... Rom manager is not needed, and in fact just causes more problems than is worth
I don't think ROMmanager is even capable of flashing anything on the note. Someone correct me if I am wrong
You're correct...i wish that app would just go away and be erased from people's memories.
Actually i don't think Rom manager has worked on any Samsung device since eclair...as froyo was when they introduced 3e recovery, which requires signed update.zips, which only Samsung has the signature tool for.
So the update.zip Rom manager downloads to flash cwm with just gets stuck at "E: signature verification failed"
I'm still getting errors I'm going to search on youtube some more and see what could possibly be an issue. I go in with Up+home+power and erase everything I can in there and try to load from .zip and errors.
So I got it to work. I didn't really do anything differently except put it on my external SD card instead of my internal.
