Do you have the update.zip on the root of your internal sd card?

i rooted it using oneclickroot and then downloaded rom manager. i pressed flash clockworkmod and tried booting into recovery but its just stock 3e recovery

You might need the modified 3e thays posted on the dev section. Should.be on the front page

[Q] Failure on installing Custom ROMS!

I have literally read all the threads here about installing custom roms...
however my phone doesn't seem to work..
I have Galaxy S Vibrant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
I got help from this 'noob guide' but still I have different problem.
I have froyo. (2.2) and my phone is rooted. (one click root)
I installed ROM Manager (free) and flashed it. and then when i reboot into recovery, and click 'reinstall packages' I get the following notifications:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
What's the problem with my method?
On the forums somewhere there's some tutorial on how to get arround that but for me its easier to downgrade to stock 2.1 using Odin and then root and get clockwork and you wont have that problem
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
you have a 3e recovery since you upgraded to 2.2 You need to either modify it by following the thread in the development section or....
odin back to 2.1, let it boot, root it.
install rom manager, install CWM recovery.
reboot into CWM recovery, you'll probably have to reinstall packages.
Flash w/e custom rom you want. Just be mindful of voodoo and whatnot.
clicky thanks if it helped.

Hi,
Try this one:
1. Download one of stock kernel from this thread which is required by your ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
2. Put it in internal SDCard and change name to update.zip
3. Flash latest CWM through ROM Manager
4. Reboot into recovery via ROM manager
5. Choose 'Reinstall packages' when rebooting to recovery. You may need to do it twice.
6. After successfully reboot into recovery, you can flash your ROM now as usual. Put your ROM file zip in internal SDcard, then you can 'choose zip from sdcard'.
Good luck.
IN the noob guide I state you need the 3e modified recovery, stock 3e will not allow you to install CWR.
From the guide:
If you have issues flashing Clockwork Recovery's update.zip, it is because the new stock recovery (3E). Please see this thread.

Like others said, you have a lot of choices.
1 -use the modified 3e
2 -odin to stock JFD and use the update.zip to root, RM, CWR, flash rom of choice
3 -odin using the ALT METHOD in the noob guide, flash rom of choice
I personally followed this tutorial and it worked a treat:

issue with clockwork...

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".

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?

Follow the steps.
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.

Rom Manager Premium Problem

Iv just purchased Rom Manager Premium and the first thing I did was select flash Clockworkmod recovery then reboot into recovery.
After reboot I just get the message:
E:faield to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Does this feature not work with the galaxy s2?

What rom and kernel are you using?
also you are rooted right?
Rom manager doesnt work with them all.
You are missing the step of flashing the zImage of your rooted kernel via CWM. Copy the zImage to your SD card and then flash it via CWM with the option 'Flash Kernel', device will reboot. Done.

I'm on stock Rom with Chainfires Root kernel. Phone is rooted fine.
I've Flashed ClockworkMod using odin this time but I was disappointed that Rom Manager couldn't do it for me without the use of Odin.
Well I thought Clockworkmod was installed ok but every time I try to boot into cwm I get the green android with a exclamation mark. I then have to do a battery pull then it boots into cwm recovery fine.
Any Ideas?
I can access CWM recovery too. But not the rom manager's recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
same thing happens to me, im currently running Lite'ning v6.1 so its rooted fine, however CWM still says E:failed to verity whole-file signature
Need help with this
Top of CWM says "Android system recovery (3e)"
@ Sparksltd, on thats android screen with the android and the ! mark, press the power key, this will then show you the CWM menus.
So it seems rom manager can't install cwm on my phone without me installing cwm on my phone in the first place using Odin.
Seems kinda pointless to me.

[Q] CWM Recovery Error

I have SGS2 rooted vis DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit (zergRush Exploit).
I have installed Rom Manager Premium and then installed CWM Recovery from within the application.
I wanted to backup my ROM but I receive the following error after the phone restarts into recovery.
Code:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Can any one tell me whats wrong?
Is CF-Root must for CWM Recovery? or other root methods are not good for CWM.
Don't use Rom Manager & CWRecovery together. Use/install one or the other. Rom Manager has a habit of breaking CWRecovery on SGS2 & can also cause bootloops.
So that means if you want to use Rom Manager, you need to root your phone with a method other than CFRoot which installs CWRecovery by default. And conversely if you root your phone with CFRoot do not install Rom Manager.

I agree with MB. Rom manager was good on the S1 until 3e recovery was introduced.
Basically, you have rooted your phone only but still have stock recovery. From what I remember, for rom manager to install cwm recovery it needs to flash an update zip. But it can't do so on the stock 3e recovery.
So as per MB's advice, flash cf root and use the cwm app that it installs for backups, flashing zips etc.

Because I already have a rooted phone (Non CF-Root).. can you suggest a method to install the latest CWM Recovery which will be compatible with ROM Manager.
The only reason I am backing up ROM is to save my data before ICS update, just in case things go wrong.
No idea. I started with CFRoot, and have used kernels that have CWM installed as default since, so I've never installed CWM separately/as a standalone. There are plenty of posts on here detailing how to install same tho.
Might want to get rid of Rom Manager first.

Do you boot to stock recovery when you boot with combination (volume up+ power+ home)? Because I had the same problem and when I booted to racovery with the combination, It was CWM. So I use rom managaer to install, and then normal boot to flash. If it doesn't boot to CWM eitherway, flash CF-Root again and don't use rom manager to flash

With Vol Up + Power + Home the phone to recovery mode showing
Android System Recovery <3e>
I assume its not the CWM Recovery... so I need to search a method to install CWM recovery manually??
and un-install rom-manager
Root + CWM .

[Q] CWM Recovery install error

I was rooted my SGS i9000(XXJVS) with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and successfully rooted my phone, but superuser did not been installed, so I installed from Android Market. Then I downloaded ROM manager, and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". It has been downloaded, allowed superuser permissions, and ROM Manager wrote that it has been downloaded.
But if I reboot into recovery mode, I get a message that writes:
Verifying update package... (meanwhile a bar fills up to about 15%)
E:failed to verify whole-filesignature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And I got a normal recovery mode.
What should I do to install CWM? I only clicked "Root" button in SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and I didn't do any wipe data.
Hey..
You should not root youre phone with apps like superoneclock or else
please use a custom rom or kernel
you will find it in the xda for sure just search for root I9001
Further more be carefull with the clockworkmod it may brick your phone
try to install the cyanogenmod i think it includes root and the cwm
Stay well
