Ok so I installed rom manager and downloaded the M9 rom and put it in the root of my sdcard. I select install rom and it reboots in recover . The options I have are
reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd
I tried selecting reinstall packages but it gets about 10% and says E:failed to verify whole file signature
Installation aborted.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
It looks like you are not rooted or you lost your update folder (the rooting folder)
You should see if the phone is rooted on the app menu a superuser icon if you do not see that then it is not rooted. When the phone is correctly rooted in recovery the menu will have "install zip from the sdcard" if that is not there thenit is not rooted. This could be caused from a bad flash you may need to reflash the root (use oneclick) and/or may need to odin back to stock and start from there.

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here and I'm having trouble flashing ANY rom onto my galaxy s2. It is rooted because I've been able to install CWM and Titanium backup.
When I tried to flash Batista, CM7 or TXP+, booting up from CWM, it says the following:
Intalling package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?
Hey mate.. You have a permissions issue..
The way I fixed it was to install super manager (free from marketplace).. Enable the root functions in settings, then use it to browse to the root folder (where you'll see system, lib etc) select all of the folders there and use super manager to change the attributes to R/W... (attributes button is the one with the $$$ symbols on the menu).. Once done, reboot and try again.
You could also find that in CWM boot menu, the fix permissions options will fix it.. Try that first.. It didn't work for me though but super manager did
Good Luck

This happen to me too....probably ur ROm does not come with CWM..
try use ODIN to flash this kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651559&d=1310388033
then only u reboot ur phone with the CWM icon inside your phone
before u flash the kernel...makesure u wipe the phone data and wipe cache.
hope this will help ..
Best to flash fresh from stock firmware and flash cf root.. It has a stock kernel and is already rooted with superuser and cwm manager..

Changing permission to r/w for all directories is a bad idea.
In cwm, goto 'install zip from sdcard', and select 'toggle signature verification' to turn it off.
Now install ur rom.
Due to the number of people not reading the below instuctions, I am putting this annoyingly large font right here.
NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP. MUST EXTRACT Clockworkmod Folder to SD and recovery from CWM. Watch the video...

people have been asking so i did it, made a video on how this can be used to restore back from CM7
This saved the day, after I restored my nandoid of rooted stock I lost all access to the barnes noble shop and could not access anything related to barnes and noble. I read of other people restoring there's back to stock and re rooting after experiencing the same issues as I to fix that issue. I knew there was an easier way and restoring this nand was it, seeing your back up was never registered in the first place. Your the man and I will be donating!

Put file:CWMrestore_1_4_0_ plus NTV16gbV4_6 in sd card, booted into cwm. In video you have two cards. Not sure which card this one is and what to put on other card. Assume that this file is an update or something and now doesn't require two?
Trying to do factory restore and don't know how to do above. Chose zip from sd card, chose cwmrestore zip file and then it finds and starts to install then it is aborted. I have no idea if I'm even supposed to be doing this but there it is.
I have tried so many things from simple (the simple failed reboots method to very complex methods that I tried to follow very closely) and read so many threads and watched so many you tube videos that I can't even tell you how many things I've tried. Nothing works at least the way I'm doing it. I need to get this back to stock and start over because it is really f'd up. I think it was due to a bad sd card I used from the beginning.
Thanks for any help.

I can't get this to work with CM7. After choosing the zip file it goes through, but ends up with "Installation aborted."
I also tried wiping dalvik, cache, and format system, but nothing will wipe CM7 and return to stock.

you have to unzip and extract the clockworkmod recovery folder to your root sd card...

Not quite sure how. The recovery folder consisting of the etc folder and one file, recovery-from-boot.p, goes to the root and the rest of the zip goes to the recovery folder and renamed to factory.zip?
When I do that, it still brings up Cynaboot and I'm presented with the menu. Choosing zip from card and trying to update by choosing factory.zip still goes to the previous Installation aborted error.
---Update--
Wait, I'm mixing up restore methods, as I've tried a number of ways to restore to stock.
I'm in the process of trying to restore by copying to the root of the sd as you recommended.
Not sure what to do next
I decided to use the CM7 from the sd. I worked through this restore, however, I got the following message after it processed through restring .android_secure:
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
I tried it again and keep getting the message:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
Not sure what to do next...any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It worked beautifully. I had to Backup using CWM first to check on the folder structure, and saw that it was all neatly placed as-is in the zip folder. Restored and am now back on stock (and using CM7 on SD card).
Thanks!

I am EXTREMELY sad to report that the new "backup" image will not boot on my NT8.
I went through all the steps and CWM flashed the backup without any errors. It then returned to the main menu and I hit "Reboot System."
It just turns off (or goes into a sleep mode.) Nothing but a black screen. The Nook Power cable displays the yellow-red that seems to suggest that it is in a SOD.
I have tried every iteration of powering off for 30 secs and then trying, with/without the SDCard, with/without the Nook Power adapter, and nothing will turn it on.
However, as soon as I put either @meghd00t's NEW recovery SD or my CM7Alpha SD, they boot up without problems.
I CAN do ADB if there is a command that I need to issue to clear some register on the device? Anyone know what I should do?

After rooting with your sd i can`t access settings-keyboard, error: The aplication Settings has stoped bla bla bla...i wouldn`t bother, but i really need russian keys sometimes...(

Unzip the file and use clockworkmod to do a restore..
Thats what I have already tried... But im gonna try again, maybe I messed something up...
after flashing recovery, try clearing cache and devlik while in CWM, then reboot.
okay, here's what happen, i've been playing with my phone regarding finding the right rom.
here was the last changes that i've made, i did this.
You should be root and you should have CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed flashed
1.You'll need a coustom rom or a stock with a custom kernel (to get init.d support folder) [AS THIS ROM]
2.Your sdcard should be partitioned, use partition magictools to do It.
3. When you'll get It ready, download int2script in this LINK
4. Boot into recovery
5. mount and system >>> mount /system
6. go back and install the zip
7. mount and system >>> mount /sd-ext
8. mount and system >>> format sd-ext
9. Reboot
10. Done!
and was able to successfully increase internal memory.. however after doing that some apps didnt work properly.
so i decided to flash my phone to a diff. rom again, however i can't download anymore rom in the forum, i mean the download won't even start after i click download, it keeps on failing at the start of the download, i tried to download diff. rom's using my phone but still not allowing me to download any rom. i don't know what happen, but what i can say is the memory is still readable, since i can still install apps in google play, however when i'm trying to download using a browser(tried different browser already), it still keeps on failing i dont know why can anybody assist me please.. i wan't to download a rom in the forum however my phone won't allow me to download it.
Make sure you have sufficient free space on SD card.

like he said, make sure u have enough space on ur sd. If this dosent work then use a pc and flash the stock kernel and rom. u can find any tutorial on xda.For more info u can pm me Regards.
Hi,
I flash custom ROMs all the time and I've done so dozens of times without any problem. Today, I wanted to flash CM (coming from IllusionROM). Placed the .zip and gapps on the internal SD, rebooted into recovery, wiped data and both caches, then proceeded to the "install zip from sd card" option. That's where trouble started.
I can't navigate to the .zip file. I see only 3 folders: /o/, /clockworkmod/ and /bob/. I've tried putting the .zip in the clockworkmod folder, but that doesn't help, it just doesn't navigate anywhere.
Ok, rebooted and tried to restore the backup I made of my previous setup using Obackup (great app btw). Now Obackup gave me the error that my device isn't rooted!
So, to summarize, I lost root access, plus I can't flash anything using recovery. I can't install another recovery because I don't have root access.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
My galaxy S2 (gt-i9100) was running cm13 for about half a year. Some days ago I let google play update my apps. The result is a bootloop.
I've used the voice recorder to record a lot of notes I need to remember. Is there any way to get those files out from the phones internal storage?
The CWM recovery installed lacks the option to wipe cache / dalvik, which I would hope could get the device out of the bootloop.
When booted into recovery, I've tried adb, but the device is unauthorized.
I think usb debuging was disabled, however, I'm not sure about that.
The ideas I have to solve this are:
1) flash some other recovery that will give an option to wipe cache/dalvik and be able to boot cm13
2) flash some other recovery that will make adb able to pull the files while in recovery mode
3) flash some recovery that is able to copy files from internal storage to sd card
4) factory reset, and hope the files don't get deleted (this is the very last resort)
The thing is that it seems like I'll need to do all installations from SD card via the current CWM recovery. Does anyone know of a suitabel download / howto that can help me get my files off the phone?
If reason for boot loop is Xplore file explorer latest update , uninstall it with developer advices:
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/wiki/xplore/crash_on_cm
I did factory reset twice because of app.
Thank you, Kepsilla. Unless that is an app that is installed with cm13 or gapps, I don't have it installed. But your link gave me hope:
If you have custom recovery on your device (such as TWRP), enter recovery mode, open file manager and delete folder /data/app/com.lonelycatgames.Xplore-1

That means that if I can install TWRP recovery from CWM recovery, I should be able to access the filesystem. That should open up to two possible solutions:
a) Copy my files from internal storage to SD
b) Delete / modify some files to take all apps I've installed from play store will not start automatically.
Does anyone know of a TWRP that would give any of these possibilities and install on a i9100 using CWM?
(I can't really experiment iwht this - I feel the risk of loosing the files is too high. I have to know I'm going the right direction when I do something.)
Solution was very simple: By holding volume down pressed during boot, the device boots into safe mode - no apps started. Then I could just uninstall the apps that were set to autostart. Reboot and problem was solved.
I came across this way to enter safe mode when googling a error message that started to pop up frequently on my S5 mini. S2 with cm13 appears to have the same way to enter safe mode as S5 mini with factory rom.
