I have Android 2.2 and trying to root but not working for me. I downloaded NetFrameWork 4 for windows 7 and I downloaded Samsung drivers, one click root on my pc. I put phone in debuggin mode and connected usb then clicked on Root. It went thru the process and booted my phone into recovery and then I clicked on reinstall packages. Well it failed and says this on the phone (E:signature verification failed. installation Aborted)
What am I doing wrong?
Please dont get offended if I posted in wrong area..... Thank u!!!!!!
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.

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.

I am now having this issue as well. Do I really need to odin it back to 2.1?
I am trying to put Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey 2.7.1 on my STOCK 2.2 .
Answer is appreciated .

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

After hours of failing to root the device, I found this thread and thanks to Kisfit2000 I finally got this damn Vibrant root access. Thank you!
Hey guys sorry for my noobiness, im actually a MT4G user but my brother is having trouble with his vibrant.
The Vibrant was rooted and had roms flashed on it, and became bricked bad enough where i could not reach recovery mode. I ran ODIN on it but it flashed to an AT&T Rom with the AT&T bloatware and what not on it with the boot screen. So it isnt allowing to connect to any mobile networks.
What i was wanting to do was simply just root the phone again since this rom wasnt rooted that ODIN installed, that way i could just restore a backup and bam. But I have the device rooted and rom manager installed, but i cannot get clockwork to flash properly. Rom manager shows that the recovery was successfully flashed but boots into the stock recovery. I try to reinstall packages like youre suppose to and i constantly get the verification error. Ive tried numerous update.zips and none will verify correctly.
All i need is to get into clockwork or another recovery so i can restore a backup. Any suggestions? Thank you for the help in advance. Sorry if this is confusing
odin to stock as 2.1 is alot easier to work with then 2.2, then follow these instructions:

did you pick vibrant when you flashed clockwork with rom manager ??
In order to get into Clockwork, you have to have Clockwork in your internal memory.
Go into the market and install the app ROM Manager. At the top of ROM Manager, there will be a button that says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Press that and select your phone. Once that finishes, press the button under that, that says "Reboot into Recovery".
If it's your first time going into recovery, then it's going to popup with the stock recovery screen. Once you get to the stock recovery screen, select "Reinstall Packages" and select it with the power button. Now, my memory is a little fuzzy, but it should either take you directly back to the recovery screen, or reboot into the recovery screen, but either way, once it goes back to that same screen, select Reinstall packages again, and it should take you to the Clockwork Recovery.
EDIT: Oh, I just remembered this also. If you still have the update.zip in your internal memory, ROM Manager won't overwrite it. You have to plug your phone in to your computer, delete the update.zip, then go back into ROM Manager and reflash ClockworkMod Recovery. Then continue with what I said above.
(The update.zip that's in your memory right now is the update you applied to root your phone, just so you know. It's not required anymore.)

u wanna download the eclair method of root update package.
then install that on ur internal sd card and go into recovery it should be blue, now click to reinstall packages u should have to do once or twice usually twice. After that it will trun green.
Then go into rom manager and as he said above flash clockwork recovery click vibrant. After that is done u will have clockwork and root access and able to flash any rom
I started using odin before I ever even properly updated to 2.2.... however I do remember having issues like this on a Captivate that was 2.2, I remember that you for sure have to "reinstall packages" twice after flashing CWM. after that you shouldn't have to do it again.....

trying to root my friends phone. I got root but couldnt load cwr so i tried to odin back to stock to retry and now the phone is stuck rebooting. Ive rooted many Epics but this is my first time rooting a Vibrant... I have an hour to fix this so any help would be nice

odin to stock using the pit/tar in this thread.
as far as rooting goes there should also be an attached 2.1/2.2 update.zip as well.
if not check noob guide stickied on top of the QA sub forum.
once you get back to stock jfd 2.1 use a 2.1 update.zip to "reinstall packages" through 3 button recovery. that will root the device and get you to CWR. (reinstall packages twice)
already tried that when odin gets done the phone boots into android system recovery... then it says media files not found and when i try to reinstall packages it says
E:failed to verify whoe-file signature
right now i dont even care about root i just want to get her phone running again ive been at this for 3+ hours and shes starting to get pissed lol
So i dont no if im missing a step or what but odin is not working for me
ok lets review the steps for odining back to stock.
open Odin
connect phone via download mode.
check Only the pit, PDA, Repartition, Reset Time, and auto Reboot boxes.
For Pit, you should have 512.pit
for PDA you should have T959UVJFD.TAR
Select start
lemme know.
Today morning i was trying to install Chainfire 3d. I clicked the second option it rebooted but now the phone gets struck on the boot logo.
The phone doesnt boot. Waited for and hour tried 20+ times.
I have already installed CWM recovery. But when i click restore it says m5 sum error( Yes CWM is still working).
I even tried factory reset but it didnt work. What do i do?
Explain in detail help me plz.
OK: I got few replies and the most common one was to flash a new ROM.At present i want to stick to the stock 4.2.1.
I'm currently on 4.1.2.
Everybody gives the method to flash via SP Flash tools, which i don't want to as it doesn't detect my device properly and i don't want to waste my time in it.
As i mentioned earlier i have already rooted and have installed CWM recovery. Can i CWM to install the official ROM.When does TP upgrade pop-up. How should i install it using CWM + precautions and detailed explanations.
Should be noob friendly.
Go and check development section, you need to find a ROM which can be flashed VIA recovery.
There are threads which show how to install drivers, and IF you try to flash VIA SP Tools make sure you remove battery, sim card, sd card, initialise the download process and then connect the phone.
