Long time follower (since my G1), first time poster (I think )
My question is simple, is anyone working on or is there already an update.zip or similar one-click root for the official froyo.uvka6 that was released via Tmob/Kies?
I have searched and searched but most results take me to links for rooting 2.1 and upgrading to 2.2. but no root for the official 2.2.
Am I being impatient, have I not searched properly, has someone else already posted this question somewhere else?
Flame away, I don't care, but please answer my question or point me in the right direction if you can.
Thanks!
The old root update.zip file has worked for me on all releases including KA6

I have tried the old update.zip and the following happens:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Possibly corrupt update.zip file? Other thoughts?

You need to toggle signature when you are in recovery before clicking update.zip. it happened to me also and that's all I did and it worked.

Could you please explain more. I no longer have CWM Recovery, just the stock 3e recovery, and am unable to locate any options to "toggle signature". Am I missing something there?
The STOCK 3e recovery from odin files DOES NOT ALLOW update.zip files, no matter what you do!
To get clockworkmod running, you either need one of the voodoo kernels (which you can only flash through odin/hiemdall, because if this recovery issue) or you need root (the onlyone that works with these releases is SuperOneClick) to mount system as rw and push a modded 3e recovery (this part is found in many roms right now).
The easiest is to flash a voodoo kernel using odin, then boot recovery and flash away.

Is there a walkthrough for this method?
Thanks for the SuperOneClick worked great.
Enable usb debugging.
Launch the app and follow any directions that appear. Was super easy.
Yes, if it's the same as Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root, you install the One Click Root, plug your phone in and you have two options "One Click Root" and "One Click Unroot".
Fairly straight foreward. I was surprised how easy it was when I rooted my phone lol
Hope this helps!

This worked for me as well. Thanks to everyone involved for the help. This post can be closed/locked as needed.
I was able to root as well using this method, however, once i am in I install clockwork recovery. Then I try to install a rom using rom manager and it only reboots into recovery 3e not clockwork. How can i make sure I get into clockwork to install from zip?

It won't work. I have tried maybe 50 times. It seems to be a problem with Recovery <3e>
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E:signature verifications failed"

It will not allow me to get into clockwork. This was the reason I used superoneclick (worked) instead of oneclickroot to root my phone however clockwork is my next problem.

i trying to root the phone different way and don't let, somebody help. please
Download the One click root
Unzip it
Open the executable. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode connected to your PC.
Let it do its magic.
I had a problem with the root when I used titanium backup. It kept telling me I wasn't rooted. When I opened titanium backup and it gave me the error message, I clicked on the "problems" button and allowed it to download busybox. VIOALA! I now have access to all my back ups and am rooted.

This is happening to me, too. Also, when I tried to boot to recovery using the volume key method, it went straight to the android with exclamation point screen, wouldn't even allow me to try to reinstall packages. Booting into recovery from Rom Manager works but I get these errors when I try to reinstall packages.
I also tried to run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager and get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" despite that I do have root access.

I just rooted the phone, and installed the clockwork mod, using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099, did everything correctly the only difference was that my phone did not reboot (at least I don't remember that it did, I believe I just had to turn it on myself). Anyway, I then installed rom manager and "flashed clockwork recovery". I later tried to "reboot into recovery" through Rom Manager and when it booted through the stock recovery (2e) It displayed the following "failed to verify whole-file signature" and it said some other crap. What should I do? My phone is running stock OTA 2.1 ea28 and I want to put EB01 or something of that nature. Help me please.
update: i just uninstalled Rom Manager, i just read that its not always compatible and creates problems...what should i do now? should i use odin again to reinstall clockwork?
Dont use ROM Manager, its not 100% fascinate friendly check out my guide @ androod development. Dl cwm in step 8 and flash it with odin
ok i just flashed it with odin using your file, but since I don't have rom manager anymore how do i access clockwork recovery, (in other words how do i flash roms now)?
you can boot into recovery for holding down the up and down volume buttons while it powers up, until the samsung logo appears. then choose "install zip from sd card".
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
it takes me to stock recovery(2e) and there is no option there to "install zip from sd card"...I'm confused...am i missing something?

yeah dude, you got it. you can flash any ROM of your choice.
But before doing it, go into Recovery mode and ALWAYS wipe Data(unless told not necessary), cache, Dalvik(find this in Advance)..!!!
Press "Thx" button and please leave post in my guide so others will know it works.
thanks a bunch! i don't know what i'd be doing if it wasn't for your help. running froyo now. thanks!!

Directions
Download su-2.3.6.1.x.zip and place on your sdcard.
Odin cwm if you do not have it.
Boot into cwm recovery.
Flash zip
Reboot

As far as I know there is no ODIN package for CWM3. I have seen instructions in other threads on how to get it through rom manager, but I am drawing a blank at which specific thread.

nem's post above this one is exactly correct on how to fix the problem, but in case you (or others reading this) aren't clear as to the WHY...
It's the "blue recovery screen" above. Stock recovery is blue. It requires signatures and non-test keys, and is therefore useless for us. Our standard Clockwork is red, and is what you Odin in with the 3-30 package. This is what you want, and need to put on the phone before anything else. There's also orange, which ROM Manager installs -- it's still buggy, so don't flash it.
If im not being lazy later today i'll go ahead and create an odin package for the latest CWM 3.x with voodoo options.

had the same thing happen to me,all i did was odin cwr again and it worked
If anyone wants to take the time and use the settings I changed for mounting system and create a signed zip to alleviate issues people have on stock recovery feel free to do so. If not I might get around to it Monday. I am not sure if the mount options will work on stock recovery tho so please make sure you test before hand. I suppose sometimes I think for the most part almost everyone will be using a custom kernel or cwm. Sorry that when I did the zip I didn't take into account all possible situations.
I cannot get busy box to stick. Any ideas?

Rumor is stock rom our kernel wipes root. Stock kernel definitely wipes CWM, but there is a patched stock kernel here on XDA.
If you are desperate, you could try doing it manually?

I'm currently on stock ED03 and I was only able to get busybox to stick by using adb to push busybox to /system/xbin while in CWM 3.x. I forgot the link, but there was a download that had the rage.bin, Superuser.apk, su and busybox files with the instructions to manually root. I ignored all that.. used this Superuser zip in CWM and pushed busybox manually.
I rooted my phone, i can get superuser permissions. I tried to install ClockworkMod and it failed miserably. I flashed it using ROM manager, and when my phone went into recovery, I hit "reinstall packages" twice, but I got an error both times. The error reads
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation abored"
According to ROM Manager, I have ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 (However, it never successfully flashed)
Thanks!
You need the modified 3E recovery.
I actually would suggest ODIN to JFD and root using my guide... its in my signature.
If you plan to flash a ROM, do option B in the guide... you will not even need to mess with Rom Manager (which by the way, has not been working for many Vibrant users recently).... your issue is the 3E recovery though.
ok, thanks very much. I'll use odin. Do you think clockworkmod will ever work on vibrants?
it always has, but something changed recently.. many people have also reported Rom Manager not successfully flashing CWR recently. My guide will make it so you are up and running. Basically it's just a update.zip from CWR that works.. i did nothing to it.

Hello,
I have already asked this in the CM10 SGS3 discussion but could not get any help there, so I assumed this will get more attention.
Recently, I tried updating CM10 using CM Updater but CWM failed to update, complaining about signature verification of the update package. The full error was: E:signature verification failed.
Has anyone encountered this error before? If so, how can I fix this? And also - could have been any harm done due to failing signature verification on CWM?
Thanks!

Not on CM, so, never encountered this error before but...does this happen every time you try and update?

Are you sure you have CWM installed? A signature verification error in this case could result in of two possible things: either you have incompatible recovery (i.e. stock) installed or it is a bad/corrupted download. No harm was done, since failing to verify signature just does not let the zip to install.
@Oomahey, I tried this just once since I was not sure about the exact outcome of this.
@hsrars-d, Yes, I have CWM v5.4, I am not making any confusions, it says that right in the title on recovery
I'll try updating this one more time and get back to you.
Thank you for your time!
I had this yesterday on a note 2 and realised it didn't have cwm recovery installed. When I installed that worked perfectly
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Have not tried it yet but is it possible that my CWM version is old enough not to be compatible? It is version v5.4 (dot something-something)
Also, could CM Updater be using a different software on recovery even though when booting into recovery it explicitly says "Clockworkmod"? It does not make much sense to me.
Sorry for double-posting but I had to update that I have tried flashing it again, with the nightly build of 23/11 and it failed again. (after toggling signature verification on "apply new update" and using CM Updater again to update firmware)
Any suggestions?

Install Rom Manager from market than install latest Clockworkmod recovery for i9300 and that should work , you have an wold recovery
The CM Updater has never work for me, ever.
I'm running the latest version of CWM (v6.0.1.2) and when I try to update via CM Updater I get the following:
Code:
-- Installing package…Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Verifying update package…
e:failed to open /sdcard/cmupdater/cm-10-20121124-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I can also say that if I manually go to "install zip from sdcard" and then select to access the internal sdcard I get the same error
Code:
e:can't mount /sdcard/
Browsing the external sdcard is no problem, only the internal.
I should also mention that my phone is encrypted, if that is the reason to why I can't access the internal sdcard in CWM, I don't know.
The encryption is the problem.

Is upgrading CWM different from replacing it with the stock recovery? Since, as I previously mentioned, I already have CWM installed and am just interested in upgrading it.
I am bumping this since it is still relevant. I am about to upgrade CWM and was thinking of doing this with ROM Manager (rather than heimdall/ODIN). Is it possible doing this from ROM Manager? Is it also more reliable than heimdall/ODIN in the context of bricking your phone?
Rooted De La Vega method (verified root, get # after su, other su required apps, get the grant access warning and they all work, etc)
Installed CWM via the loki method as noted on Cynanogen (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltevzw[/url])
Copied multiple rom's (cyanongen, eclipse, etc..). Reboot to CWM recovery, select install from external card. It gets to verifying the zip file and then says "failed to verify whole-file signature" and bails.
No clue what I'm doing wrong, I can find this error all over via google searches but all seems to be on another device and/or solved by re-downloading your zip.....
