Was wondering if anyone can direct me in the right direction to backup the current rom i have on my SG2,
I have installed Rom Manager and tried to do a Rom backup but i keep getting the error "failed to verify whole-file signature samsung , signature verification failed"
Any ideas will be much appreciated
Thanks

I have sat at my table for 3 hours trying to get this set up right. I rooted my phone (at least i think so) through super one click. I rebooted as rageagainstthecage. Everything went fine for that, my phone was instantly faster.
Then when i installed ROM Manager Premium, i went searching for a cool ROM, i came across a Bionix ROM. I transfered files like xda told me to and whenever i got to reboot and install them it just tells me this:
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.
Can anybody tell me what i did wrong? I am a huge noob so I might not know all of the terms with this process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
bro u r not doing anything wrong....here try these methods

First I would like to say I have gone through a lot of postings looking for an answer to my question so I have looked for my own answers. I also went through many sites outside of this one and haven't found a answer yet. I flashed UltraJack-Recovery v4.6.2 and then installed LeanFUSION V2 and this all went fine. I then decided to restore the original rom and discovered it was corrupted. After two days I finally found a download site that wasn't just a dead link and got the STOCK_ROM_USA_TMO which is 98.6mb. When I tried to install this rom I get " E:No signature (6 files) E:Verification failed Installation aborted." I actually get this type of message with most of the roms I tried. The amount of signatures missing varies but same sort of thing. Anyone who could provide me with a confirmed working factory rom or help with getting the one I have working would be really appreciated. Thanks for any help folks!!
Okay I decided to try installing Clockworkmod Recovery to my u8150 to see if I could get back to the original rom. The Google Apps version doesn't support the Ideos and I am having trouble figuring out how to install the 5.0.2.8 Clockworkmod Recovery by fastboot. I hate to ask for hand holding but I can't seem to figure this out. I really would like to have a bit more variety in roms I can install or returning to the factory rom but the UltraJack Recovery won't get past the unsigned or non verified sections of the roms I want to install. There has got to be someone out there who can help with this stuff. Thanks for any help.....
I'm very sorry if this isn't in the right spot. I've looked around a bit, and used the search engine, and I haven't been able to find anywhere that I think this belongs. Anyway, here's my problem.
Ok, so here's what happened. I was looking at my build.prop settings in rom toolbox. Out of curiosity, I changed lcd density from 240 to 160 just to see what it would look like. I planned on changing it right back immediately but Touchwiz kept force closing.
I then tried restoring my phone back to factory, but my recovery no longer works. I know how important it is to give as much detail as possible so here's the ENTIRE output from after rebooting into recovery, clearing user data, clearing cache, and then reinstall packages...
#MANUAL MODE#

--Install from sdcard...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

I had previously tried installing ClockworkMod Recovery ( through Rom Manager ) and thought it had failed because when I rebooted, it took me into the stock Samsung Recovery Utilities. Now I'm thinking that it may not have actually failed, and that I had to select 'reinstall packages' and that would have finished the ClockworkMod recovery install. I'm now thinking that the failure to verify whole-file signature is happening because I no longer have root due to clearing user data, and clearing cache. I may be wrong, idk.
I know how to reset the build.prop lcd density setting to fix that issue, but I have to wait for my aunt to get her computer back to root again. She's currently having it fixed, and I have no other access to a computer.
What I'm asking for help with is to either get my recovery utilities to be functional again in case I ever need to do a hard reset, or get ClockworkMod installed. Whatever is safer is the route I want to go.
I'm kind of thinking that ClockworkMod not fully installing itself is stopping the recovery from functioning like normal. The reason I think that is because I've restored my phone to factory stock many times. The sdcard was NOT in the phone those times and now it's trying to use 'update.zip' from the root of the sdcard when I select reinsall packages. Kind of like ClockworkMod recovery is partially installed, enough to try to use itself instead of the stock recovery, but not enough to be a working recovery.
As I said above, I'd really like to have a working recovery on this phone. I'm actually homeless at the moment, and I have absolutely no money to buy a new phone. Shiiit, I have to bum money from customers at a shopping center every single time I want to eat even. This phone is basically the only thing that keeps me sane. Being homeless is REALLY, REALLY boring as you can imagine. This phone makes it much more tolerable.
Sorry for the length of the post. If there's any other details that may aid in fixing this, let me know and I'll post them. I'm pretty sure I've provided all the detail possible though.
Ok, I typed that up while I was away from wifi, and decided to do a little more research before posting. I'm seeing that I was right about the ClockworkMod recovery not being fully installed. I didn't do the last step of rebooting and then reinstalling packages originally. Now. I'm wondering if the signature verification is failing because I no longer have root access or if it's something else. If that's it, I'm going to finish the installation once my aunt gets her computer back unless there's some way I can get it to reverse the partial ClockworkMod install.
Again, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, and for the length. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I have rooted the phone and every time I go to install aokp or another rom to see if it works, I always get e: signature verification failure. I have read post and followed tutorials from this forum with no luck. I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426%20. The rogers file fails but the at&t one will install. It still fails when I try to put an os on the phone. It was not backed up so I can't even get it back to a point where I can use it right now. Its been 4 hours now and any suggestion on how to fix this would greatly be appreciated. Samsung S3 with Rogers.
I have Omni rom 4.4.2-20140206 nightly on my HTC One and everything works great except the OTA updates. I try the OTA and it comes back with
E: Zip signature verification failed: 1
I downloaded the nightly with my computer and transferred it to the phone trying to flash it through twrp v2.6.3.0 and get the same error.
Anyone else have this issue or an idea on what is causing it?
Thanks
Read the instructions twice

I found the solution to my problem. My phone needs a smarter owner. I rechecked everything including the version of TWRP and there was the problem. Flashed the latest twrp recovery and it works like magic. Or should that be magick??
Anyway file this one under lessons learned.
MAKE SURE OF THE VERSION OF RECOVERY YOU HAVE. ITS ON THE FIRST PAGE AFTER YOU ENTER RECOVERY.
IT MUST BE THE CORRECT ONE, NOTHING ELSE IS "CLOSE ENOUGH"
