Hello ... I ask you a little help on ROM Manager and Recovery.
I just root the galaxy S2 with the procedure supercurio, so my ROM is pretty much stock ... I was a XWKDD.
ROM Manager (in his opinion) regularly install ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2, but when I restart in recovery and launch the update.zip I get the following error message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Googling a little I found how to sign files.zip, moddied 3e recovery and also to ignore the signs in zip files ... but none of these workarounds work ...
So how I can use this 3e recovery with unsigned files?
Or ... how can I replace the 3e with the 2e recovery? (There ROM with the 2e which do not differ much from the stock ROM?)

Help needed aswell
EDIT: I do not like the CWM4 as the recovery deletes it's self after about a day for some reason, then i have to reflash.
I am using the Stock XWKF4 rom (rooted) with superuser and busybox and i also can't use ROM to install clockwork mod recovery.
I get the same error as the guy above me.....Help
Please, Thanks,
Andrew.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Having this problem too.
In ROM Manager, I flashed the latest CWM, then reboot into recovery.
It reboots to Android system recovery (3e).
Any idea how I can get recovery working. Do I need to flash a different kernel?
I actually JUST dealt with this issue myself. I had the same kernel as you.
You need to flash a new stock ROM in odin, I used KG6. I just used the stock kernel, not the whole package.
The stock ROMs can be found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Then when this is done, you use odin to flash a CF Root for that kernal following these instructions:

I am also having issues. I have an SGS2 with 2.3.3..
I have rooted the phone and am trying to install Cyanogenmod7 (nightly build #22) to my phone.
I have downloaded ROM Manager, Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery (4.0.1.5) and have tried to 'Install ROM from SD Card', then selected the cyanogenmod. However, its coming up with the following message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I have tried to download 3e without signature verification "3e_recovery_no_sig_check" but this has not worked. I am a bit of a noob at this so appreciate any lamens terms help anyone can provide!!
Hey guys. I tried the KG6 and CF kernel, and the lulz kernal. Both are giving me t 3e error on CWM. What else can I do?
cant flash roms
Hey guys,
I too am having this problem. I have completely lost the ability to flash roms from cwm. It says "Installing update" when its a new rom and it flashes it in less that 3 seconds and then it gets stuck at the boot. If I use rom manager it just says "E: signature verification failed on the whole file". I have tried the following:
-restoring stock rom (KE2) and then using cf-root which installs 4.0 and cwm 4.0.0.2
-formatting sdcard
It's really bad, I am dwelling on just one nandroid backup of Cognition and I can't even update it!
Thanks for your help
You cannot use 3e to install custom roms. 3e (blue color) is the default samsung recovery. When you try to flash custom rom with 3e, it will fail verification.
You need to use Clockwork Recovery (orange color).
Try installing Speedmod Kernel instead of using CF-Root kernel and see what happens.
Mate that totally fixed it thanks so much for the help! Now I can get back to flashing stuff!!

Problem to flash CWM
Hi,
Here are the steps that got me into this situation:
1. My provider installed a test version on my Galaxy S2 in order to resolve some problems.
2. After the above I rooted my device using ODIN 1.85 and SuperOneClick 2.1.1 using XWKDD kernel.
The versions of my phone now are:
Model Number GT-I9100T
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9100TJIKI1
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected]#2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.JIKI2
My intention is to flash CWM in order to install Cyanogenmod ROM. When I tried to flash the CWM using ROM Manager it failed. From what I read it is because I have 3e recovery.
I saw some suggestions for resolution, like flashing a stock kernel and than flash CWM again to avoid the invalid signature problem.
However, I couldn't find any kernel that fits my device situation.
Any suggestions for a route I can take to resolve the situation?
a route that will leave my device functioning
Thanks, Nissim
You should try and install a custom kernel which also flashes clockwork mod recovery on your phine like speedmod, ninphetamine or hellcat's kernel.

Thank you for the advise.
Unfortunately digging into the above kernels you suggested, I couldn't find that any of them fits my situation (Build:GINGERBREAD.JIKI2 and kernel:XWKDD).
I saw clear warnings not to select the wrong kernel.
Look for cfroot kernel. It is almost stock. Just rooted. I think i saw ki2 over there.

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.
Hi
I have a rooted sg2 but it will not flash any additional roms or add on programs. When you go into CWM and flash a rom or google addons it says "signature verification failed" installation aborted. Any thoughts or suggestions? Phone itself works fine. I did notice that my titanium backup locked up at 15% so don't know if that is related or not
Did you flash the cwm kernel? Or install through Rom manager? Apparently the only way to install cwm is with a kernel

If you are ONLY rooted and running a stock kernel, you still have 3e recovery and that won't flash anything but signed Samsung updates.
You need to flash a CWM-enabled kernel to flash ROMs and such.
Maybe this will help (if you are 100% sure you are on CWM and not regular 3e as pointed out):
Getting "E: Signature Verification Failed" in CWM?
One of two things happened:
1) You used ROM Manager even though it is listed in BIG RED LETTERS above. In which case flash codeworkx kernel and this time DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
2) Go into CWM click Install Zip from SDCARD>Toggle Signature Verification. Should see "Signature Check: Disabled". If it says "Enabled" then try reflashing kernel in Odin again.
TAKEN FROM THE FAQ below:

the signature verification that you were talking about seems to have done the trick. thanks for the help
Hello everyone:
I am having some issue trying to install a custom rom (VillanRom 3.0) on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I am a beginner so I apologize in advance if what I am asking seemes a bit noobish.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 is already rooted I believe running Gingerbread 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXK17
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
I booted into Rom Manager and did Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. And then I chose Samsung GalaxyS2.
I have already put the custom rom onto the SD card. I tried booting into the Android system recovery <3e>, I wiped factory setting and cache, and after that there is no option to 'install zip from SD card'. So I attempted to enter the option "apply update from sdcard" and I get this error:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Am I missing something here? Please any help would be appreciated I'm not very good at the technical stuff. Thank you so much.
Sorry to bump this. I'm desperate. Any help please would be extremely appreciated!! x

Are you sure your phone is rooted and the fw is k17?
Anyway follow this thread to root your phone and then flash the custom rom you want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Hello siberian tiger:
Thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate it.
I'm pretty sure my phone is rooted because it has a triangle everytime I start up my phone. How do I know if my fw is k17?
Is there different types of root? If my phone is currently rooted can I just follow the procedure in that thread you linked and just overide my current root without unrooting my phone?
Thanks
I believe I know where it went wrong. Most kernels do not support rom manager. If you are a beginner you probably used the cf-root method. So read the cf-root thread again you'll see that rom manager is not supported.
Now that you don't see the install zip from sdcard option that means you don't have clockwork recovery installed anymore. Download the CWM app (in the cf-root thread) and the cf-root kernel in tar format. Use the flash kernel option to flash the tar file. Then you'll get clock work recovery back.
If this doesn't work, the for-sure-will-work option is to use odin to reflash the cf-root kernel.

Hi guys ...
Need some help understanding something ...I was to chiken to root via Odin so I ended up rooting my GS2 with Unlockrootdotcom ...Its pc based and unrooted my phone without any prbs ..I then installed Titanium Bckup and Rom manager so far so good.
Now here is the prb ..I would like to make a full backup of my phone before I start messing around with Kernels and Roms. When I select "Backup Curent ROm" phone reboots and get the famous "E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed" ....Is the prb with the way Unlockroot rooted my phone or am I missing something ?
I read that I need to flash with Cf-root but would that not alter the kernel and therefore it I would not have an orginal full back up
I guess Im a little confused ..any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
Sounds like you don't have CWM recovery, rather stock (3e) recovery. In order to get CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which comes with it.
How can I tell I have 3E recovery ?

It says 3e at the top.
If you want to dump your current kernel before flashing one with CWM recovery, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409484
After flashing a kernel with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery to backup or CWM Manager app (installed by Chainfire CF-root kernel). ROM Manger is not compatible with CWM Recovery on SGS2.

Hey everyone. I decided to revive my S2 but I ran into a problem and I can't solve it. I lost count of threads I read and I still don't have an answer. Can someone guide me step by step how to flash CWM and ROM to my SGS2 (i9100)?
At the moment I have stock ROM flashed using Odin since all my tries to flash latest CWM and ROM ended in a bootloop or I didn't even manage to flash anything. If I try to flash CWM through stock Android recovery, it says "Signature verification failed". I flashed Dorimanx kernel using Odin to get the recovery but then I couldn't flash ROM because it said "E: Can't mount sd card". I tried flashing Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have no idea what to do because everytime I think something new, I run into these 2 errors. It would be great to get some help.

Kernel not just recovery.
I think you need to read the thread before flashing away and possible bricking you're phone.
Rooting and installing cwm is basic stuff. Bricking is common place too.

Do you mean this http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/Stock (Download doesn't work) ? I can't find any other links there for the latest version.
I'm not really scared of bricking my phone since I won't use it without flashing it correctly anyway. I have flashed it few times successfully in the past but now I can;t do this and it's really annoying. I flashed my friend's phone without any problems but I can't do that for myself.
