My Vibrant used to be rooted. I just updated Tmobile Froyo KA6. I try rooting using Z4root, but it won't do anything. I manually try and getting:
"E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
I read this could be the problem on the forum, but I don't know how to fix it:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
-for BML-"
ps.don't know if this information of the phone help:
Froyo 2.2
T959UVKA6
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Can't anyone help this rockie?
Thanks
Try One Click Root.
I tired both...neither works. I read something that Froyo's (legitimately.Froyo) folder structure or.something.of that nature has.changed. Not sure though...I'm a bit of a nub in the realm of.development. Can anyone confirm rooting by any.of.the normal conventional methods (z4, 1click, etc.

Thank you Ibridges! the superoneclick from TheUnlockr work for me.
Super On Click Root worked for me but I get the same message while trying to install a new ROM.
I got the "E:signature verification failed" message on my Motorola Defy (Android 2.1 Eclair with Motoblur) while rooting in recovery mode. It was using the SuperOneClick method connecting the phone to a Mac. Actually, that version of the software says once installed in your Mac that is for Samsung Galaxy S, but root all models. I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
I have to say that I tried z4root and was useless; so now I see little alternatives...
USB debugging, SD mount and everything is in the way it should... Anyone can help me please?
Edit: I saw in the mentioned thread that many are having similar problems. Someone said that manually copying the update.zip file in the SD card and then doing the whole thing in recovery mode worked. I wasn't that lucky. Now, at the bottom of the phone screen I get the following lines in yellow:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So I am stuck here.
Same thing happened to me when I did the kies update for 2.2 ka6 and hated froyo stock. I tried to root and couldn't. Long story short, I Odin'ed back to 2.1 and used one click root which worked perfectly. Running Bionix V now no problems .
I would try to use odin to go back to 2.1 and use super one click root from the unlockr.

Yes, you do have to go back to 2.1 before being able to flash any custom rom.
Guys,
I have resolved this many many times... Just follow these steps -
Pre-requisite - Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to your pc.
1. Root your phone using SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse. You can get it at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682'
2. Go to this thread and download the two files 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423' - '3e_recovery_installer.zip' and 'update.zip (1.34 mb)'
2. Run install.bat from 3e_recovery_installer folder to rectify the the recovery signature checking.
3. Keep the just downloaded update.zip (1.34 mb) in your internal sdcard and boot under recovery. Select reinstall package option. Update.zip will get installed and phone will reboot.
Its not done yet.
4. Now get the actual clockwork mod recovery update.zip (1.72 mb). You can get this using ROM manager. Now put this update.zip (1.72 mb) in your internal sdcard and boot under recovery. Select reinstall package option. Update.zip will get installed and phone will reboot and will be back in samsung recovery mode. Select reinstall package again and bang... You should now be at cwm recovery

Before installing a custom ROM, it is not mandatory to go back to stock 2.1. Generally it is just recommended when you are going from one custom ROM to another custom ROM and by going back to stock you avoid taking ghosts (issues) of one custom ROM to another.
So if you follow my instructions to resolve your cwm recovery for Stock 2.2, you should be good to go to Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey 2.7.1 without going back to Stock 2.1.
Hope this helps...
Its a normal occurrence after upgrading through Kies to 2.2. The 3e recovery always used to work for me regarding the signature verification error. Accept the last time I tried it about a week ago it coukdnt get it to work for whatever reason.
So what I did was use odin & revert back to 2.1. Then root using one click root. Then just flash a 2.2 rom in clock work, Bionix for example. Then you will on 2.2. You will have no problem with the signature verification this way. Gluk

dissable signature verification
DISABLE E: SIGNATURE VERIFICATION ON SAMSUNG VIBRANT
Here goes steps to install this modified 3e Recovery:
PREREQUISITE
Working USB connection between your Vibrant and computer. You may setup ADB or install Kies on your computer.
INSTRUCTIONS
Disclaimer: Proceed at your own risk. We are not responsible if your device gets bricked or damaged during the process.
1. Download Modified Recovery 3e for Vibrant on to your computer and extract it’s content.
2. Put your Samsung Vibrant into “USB Debugging Mode”. To do it, go to “Applications”—> “Settings” –> “Applications” –> “Development” –> and check the box “USB debugging”.
3. Connect the Vibrant to computer via USB cable.
4. Run the “install.bat” file located in the extracted content.
5. Wait till the process completes.
That’s it. Your Vibrant should now have modified 3e Recovery that disables signature verification. You may now root the Samsung Vibrant or install ClockworkMod Recovery on it.
now try rooting with one click or manual
What I did is, I odin back to 2.1
Then I used an app called Z4root to root the phone. Once there download CWM from tom manager and enjoy

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!

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.

Folks, I modified the Odin package that installs clockwork recovery so that it *should* work on any future versions without reflashing kernels, and without rooting your device.
This provides a nice way of rooting your device, because as long as you have the cwm update.zip on your sdcard (at the base) and this Odin flashed, you can root your device by merely installing ChainsDD's superuser package via clockwork recovery.
Odinhttp://www.mediafire.com/?qzcq15423z9i1g7
http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/Odin3v1.3.exe
The Odin package:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5
ChainsDD's superuser
[APP] Superuser 2.3.6.1 - Now on the Market [2010-09-05] - xda-developers
(you want the ef version)
My modified ChainsDD superuser +busybox package
http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip
update.zip to use with clockwork (goes on base of sd card)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip
If this update.zip gives you trouble, please get it from the source. You will need to rename this file to update.zip.
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-fascinate.zip
Simply flash the Odin, boot to recovery, apply update.zip and load the superuser package. Done and done. No rage exploit, no fighting with one click methods.
Or, if you are feeling adventurous, you can try Clockwork Recovery RED, which works 100 times better, but has not been heavily tested with non-voodoo installs. It should be ok though.
http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09_RED.tar.md5
This method requires ONLY this Odin method. You do not need update.zip unless using rom manager. Credit jt1134 and supercurio for Red cwm. Credit to squash/times-infinity for the idea
Note to Stock UsersI have found that the stock Samsung kernel is very sneaky and replaces clockwork on the next reboot...it seems to be most common with those who have updated using Verizon's OTA updates. Odin users usually do not see the issue and hence, was tough to track down.
So to alleviate this, please add an extra option to your list of things to do. On FIRST boot into clockwork recovery, please flash your appropriate kernel of choice. For simplicity, I have added a rather plain kernel (non-voodoo) for those who may want to flash their choice of kernel later. This must be done for those who have this problem, no matter if clockwork is red or green.
Kernel download
http://www.mediafire.com/?qzcq15423z9i1g7
So does this effect the red/voodoo CWM that most of us use?
If you are already on red cwm/voodoo, its a non issue.
This only flashes green cwm right now, for the purposes of easy rooting, kernel installing, etc.
like a charm
thanks

Any flasher is going to need to Odin in CWM anyway, and screwing around with One Click apps isn't going to advance the ball at all. The method in the first post here not only unlocks recovery and gives root, it teaches the novice flasher how installations will work in the future (get into Clockwork and then apply a zip that's not called update.zip).

Just to make sure I am doing this correctly. Im using a TMO Vibrant, running stock 2.2 froyo KA6. This is not the 4G model. I wanna load the kernal from cmered Overstock with voodoo
1. Rooted phone using superoneclickroot
2. Download SGS Kernal Flasher from market, and gave it superuser permission
3. moved Overstock to my external sd on phone which has 5.33gb left
4. opened SGS Kernal flasher and will choose kernal to load
5. After flashing kernal will go to market and download Voodoo app and BLN app
Am I missing anything?

I would just backup your current kernel with kernel flasher and reboot into recovery to flash overstock. Do you have clockwork installed from rom manager?

No biggie people get wound up about backing up you can reinstall apps if you lose them

Here is what i do:
1. Copy my internal sd card to my external card in a folder called "back up int" (this is in case you lose everything from a bad flash)

2. Then flash your new rom
3. Then root the phone

Once you have followed the instructions provided in that thread, you SHOULD be good to go. If you are having issues with getting the 3e mod/hack to work, hook up to SuperOneClick one more time and "Shell Root" right before you try to do the mod hack, this worked for me.

1. odin back to stock using this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9375927
then root it with the same tutorial and since ur probably on eclair from odin.
its really easy to root just put update package on sd card and then go onto rommanager and go into recovery manually and reinstall packages u will have to do it twice then ur recovery will turn from blue to green. Now ur rooted and ready to flash any rom but before u do make sure u flash clock work recovery.
The reason to odin back to stock is because rooting is so easy on 2.1 just add package and install, so easy a noob can do it!
thank u!! Ill give it a try and let you know how it went.
I am trying to root my Vibrant running froyo. I tried the update.zip and also superoneclick methods, none of them seem to work. I was wondering if there is any other way to root my phone without using ODIN.Thanks!
Pull the Clockwork zip from my signature and then also the Superuser zip too. Put the SU zip in a folder and the CWR zip on the root of your internal. Boot into recovery and hit Reinstall Packages. It will cycle through and boot back into stock-blue recovery. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the recovery will turn from blue to Green. Scroll down to Install from SD card and find the Superuser zip from earlier and flash it. Once done, reboot and you should have SU. Might have to update the binaries. If you do, go to market and download Update Fixer. Install and run it. It will fail. Force Close it and restart and run it. It will cycle through and you should be good to go.

You don't need to have CWR at all. It is just a good teaching tool for future. If all you want to do is Root, the just put the SU.zip on your internal card, boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages twice and you are rooted.

Exactly what I use to root, works like a charm and only takes a minute or two
You may have done something wrong if superoneclick didn't work. Did you put your phone in USB debugging? Also, if you install update.zip from recovery, that will work too.

Hey Guys,
I am new here and having the same problems not being able to root.
I'm also running a Vibrant 959 on Froyo 2.2.
So far I've tried the following:
-one click for t-mobile vibrant on mac
-superoneclick running an XP Machine w/framework 2.0, 3 & 4
-V4 app
Nothing has come to fruition for me. I've tried the soc method several different times and checked the threads about making sure usb ports are functioning and usb debugging is on. I've ran it with the SD card installed and w/out external SD installed.
With SOC it keeps telling me that my phone has been rooted but superuser doesn't show up. I even tried using an app called root check basic which tells me root access is not available.
I'm coming up dry as to why SOC works in the videos people post but I am not successful in running the same thing on my phone.
Any ideas?
Please disregard above post. I finally found the problem was i was running recovery 3e which was rejecting the signatures.
I installed the modified 3e in the link mentioned above and finally got the system recovery to re-install the update.zip folder.
Haven't tried superoneclick since the modified 3e was installed
