Here is the video, sorry for the bad quality. If you couldn't understand, basically I looked up how to get clockwork mod recovery, as my recovery is the original one that does not allow you install custom roms.
So in ROM manager I choose the vibrant as my phone for Clockwork Mod, and it says it was successful, so I do Boot into recovery.
The thread then said to choose install packages, so I did that, and it loads like 1/5 of the bar and an error message is displayed. There error reads:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I dont know what it wrong, my old vibrant worked fine when I did this and I had a custom ROM i enjoyed until I dropped my phone and phone it. They just sent me this knew one since it was insured, and I want to get a custom ROM on this vibrant too.
Thanks everyone, XDA is the best!

Im VERY sorry about the quality. Thats why i also typed out my problem.
Froyo 3e recovery won't allow you to flash anything.
-Use Odin to flash back to stock JFD Eclair..then reinstall packages x2
-Use Odin to flash Voodoo + Stock kernel--then flash ROM
-Try modified 3e recovery thingy (doesn't work for me)
Delete update.zip and try again from within rom manager

a failed signature veriication either means the file is corrupt, downlod and copy again or thats not meant to be applied thru recovery.
you can verify corrupted downloads by opening on desktop. the desktop archiver will report corrupted zips on opening. any.

If you continue to get the error. I would suggest ODIN and re-root. I myself just flashed back to stock to test another issue and ran into having to repeatedly flash CwM before i could get out of Blue recovery thats why i posted that link. Although my problem never produced an error like the OP i just couldnt get out of Blue recovery i almost got worried haha

I am already rooted and i am running macnut12
I simply can not get in to recovery..
Even the basic recovery, you know how sometimes you would reboot in to recovery and the reboot script would not run the update.zip.. and you would be in the real recovery with the option to "install package". Well... it does not even get there.
i just get stuck on the vibrant screen, i have re downloaded clockwork, all kinds of stuff..
I just wanted to get in to recovery to wipe my battery stats yet for some reason it just don't work
I can at least use adb on the vibrant screen and get back in to the OS that way.
Any ideas?
I am at a loss..
I assume you flashed the recovery from rom manager?
Try Quick Boot, app
i did
i even tried to flash an older version from within clockwork
Good news is i can continually get back in to the OS via ADB, but i would like to have access to recovery with out flashing again via odin
Edit: Forget it... i just ODIN zapped it.
Thanks anyway
I'm having similar issues w/ r12 I posted on the macnut thread but nobody answers me. When I try to use recovery or clockwork recovery it says E: signature verification failed. I really would like to avoid using odin. Any ideas on how to fix

Your issue sounds a little different than the one i had/have (it's doing it again)
It seems that
Macnut R12 + EB-Productions Kernel #2 = no access to recovery
I did not get any error's, just a vibrant boot screen
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.
thanks a bunch! i don't know what i'd be doing if it wasn't for your help. running froyo now. thanks!!
No problem. Always at your service. Just hit me up again if u find any errors/problems.

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.

+1, This is true. there are many of reports that CWM flashing through Rom manager isn't working correctly. This guy has some awesome guides so check them out!
Hey guys, I rooted my device with the CF-KG2 kernal and am trying to use Rom Manager with Clockwork Mod 4.0.1.5. to install Cyanogen mod.
I can't get into CWM recovery for anything after installing without getting:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I can't find a solution to this on google or anywhere on this forum.
I also tried manually wiping my data/cache and installing the cyanogen nightly 26 with the CWM 4.0 included with CF kernal. It installs fine but won't boot past the samsung logo, so I had to restore.
Any help is appreciated!
Do a fresh download of a cm7 nightly.
Put it into your internal sd card.
Boot into cwm recovery
Wipe data/cache/dalvik
Flash cm7 zip
If you get stuck at the screen flash the zip again from recovery and it should boot.
Also, don't flash it via flash update, do it via flash zip.

Thanks a ton. Believe it or not just installing the zip twice actually installed cyanogen perfectly. Amazing.

It's weird, seems to be due to custom versions of cwm recovery in most kernels, the other way todo it is to flash codeworx's cwm kernel then cm7, which seems to make it work with one flash of cm, but glad to hear you got it going.

I also have the same problem, errors when trying to boot CWM recovery. Did not allow me to back up anything. and now my phone is stuck on the Galaxy S 2 boot screen and keeps on looping. I think I was using lightning ROM previously. What is the next thing I should do to make the phone work again.
Once the phone works, how do I get CM7 on it? Thanks so much. I am a new user and am not really familiar with the process.

Pull the battery and boot to cwm again. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and flash cm7 (provided u put it on ur sd card).
If not, flash a stock rom, let boot and place latest cm7 .zip on ur ad card. Flash a kernel with cwm and flash cm7 .
I also have this problem. Also I can't back up my current rom, because it gives the same message as in First post. And I want to flash MIUI -rom. What to do?
Any solutions to this? I rooted using Zedomax's Method. all went smoothly. When I went into Rom Manager to backup, it said I had to flash CWM, I said ok. Now I get the same error as the OG. Don't know if the recovery worked prior to going into ROM Manager. I'm thinking of running the Zedomax's Method again to see if it reinstalls a workable CWM.
Trying to install clockworkmod but I have 3e recovery. I did it through rom manager which was a nub mistake but I didn't know 3e was going to troll me. So it says:
e:failed to verify whole file signature
e:signature verification failed samsung "3e"
I then followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16909269&postcount=12
and tried the Speedmod kernel to get rid of 3e like the person said but that rom is for the international version and now I can't connect to verizon.
So at the point I am thinking using Odin is my only option but all roms are .zip and not .tar. I am clueless as what I can do. Please help me.
So I tried the Odin method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746 and flashed the pit and stock 2.1 files. It passed with green in odin but when I put the battery back in it boots into 2e but says # Manual Mode # at the bottom. I am not sure if that means the flash didn't actually work or what. I am lost now.
Thought I'd update this thread since I finally fixed the problem and sucessfully put Cyanogenmod7 without using the stupid Rom Manager after about 8 hours of work. So just in case someone wants to know what I did. For some reason Odin was not working so I used Heimdall v1.83 and the EB01 Heimdall package and sucessfully flashed to froyo 2.2. I mounted the sdcard and put Cyanogenmod7 and gapps on it.
Now I used Odin to flash the CM7 capable CWM (I think its version 4). Booted the phone into download mode and then used jt1134's ClockworkMod Recovery found in the CM7 fascinate wiki. The wiki says use Heimdall but I used Odin and it worked. The CWM is now blue instead of Red. Next I did a wipe data/factory reset along with wipe cache partition. I selected install zip from scard and choose the CM 7.1 package. Everything went well and it boots into CM7. NOW TO INSTALL THE GAPPS. I thought I just boot into CMW using the volume buttons and power button BUT NO that is NOT correct. In CM7 you have to hold the power button and press reboot and then select recovery AND THEN IN THAT CWM select install zip from sdcard (choose gapps). THIS IS IMPORTANT OR ELSE GAPPS WONT INSTALL. I was bummed for like another hour.
So there it is how to install CM7 just when you think you have been to hell and back with the fascinate. Never again am I volunteering myself to help root and install CM7 on a friend's fascinate. The droid incredible was soo easy!
