Hello
First let me say sorry if ive posted in the wrong forums.
My question/problem is that today i tried to backup my stock o2 rom having bought the phone yesterday all seemed to have gone well till i noticed it rebooted and started to read files i presume are part of the rom?. Then i got a message saying it had failed and asked me what i wanted to do, reboot etc etc..
My queation is how can i ensure a backup so that im happy knowing that should i install another rom i can just restore my current stock rom?
A
Once again sorry if ive posted this in the wrong section (kinda figured with Q n A's this would be the right place as its more a question then a problem atm)
Thank you for any information you can provide.

What CWM are you using 4e orange script or 3 with blue script .
You rooted the phone with what ???
O2 UK stock rom should be posted in the dev section under one debrand O2 phone and also under stock branded roms .
Much easier to download that save flash via Odin and you can update via Kies if need be .

Hello,
Yes the phone is rooted
When i use vol up + center key + power i get a blue menu at the top it says:
Android system recovery (3e)
Enter: OK Key, Select: Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
When trying to backup current rom or when i ask Rom Manager to reboot into recovery mode i get some yellow text with the following:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
Then red text with the following:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Yellow text again:
Installation aborted.
I could be wrong but.. that's telling me its trying to install some thing like the CWM and its not and/or its installed and I simply don't recognize the fact it is?
Thanks for your help so far.
I worked it out I just reflashed CWM and bingo i can now backup my current rom, thanks for your help JJEgan
Please can a mod mark this thread as solved?

Hey guys,
Yes I know there are so many threads about this. Yes I have looked at all of them. No I don't understand what's going on. No, there is no simple answer. I have spent the last 3 hours trolling the interwebs to find the answer and there is no intelligible one (I can find) to this problem.
I have:
- Galaxy S2 i9100GT
- Vodafone AU
- Just flashed kernel: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KF2-v4.0-CWM4
- Then install CWM
- Success
- Enter recovery mode.
- Bring me to Android system recovery <3e> with following error:
Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Tried:
- Taking my 32gb SD card out (did not help).
Someone in some thread said to do this:
1, Click the CWM Manager Icon in tray
2, Reboot into CWM recovery
3, Wipe data cache and Dalvik Cache
4, Install from zip
5, Reboot & restart into recovery
6, Install from Zip
7. Wait 1 min or so
8, Cyanogenmod loads!! - Yay
- WTF is Dalvik cache? (more importantly, do I need to know?)
- Install WHAT from zip?
I am a noob and about to cry. I hate myself. Help
EDIT:
Model number: GT-I9100T
Android version: 2.3.3

Uninstall the cwm app then reboot. Reflash the kernel and then reboot again. The unsecure kernels have cwm and superuser built in to them you do not need. To install anything else.

Seems like you're booting to recovery using some app? Just power off your device and hold Volume Up + Home + Power all the way until you're in the recovery menu.
If you can't handle this you should use the Cf-root kernel in original android development under sgs2. Its the simplest to install and get you running

I did what you said and I can't find any CWM app in the apps list now. However, like prodygee suggested, when I enter recovery from off CWM works.
Is this how it's meant to be?
Thanks.
P.S. Also, how would I go about 'unrooting' the phone and getting Samsung Kies back on there? I think I prefer the stock tbh. I'm too much of a noob.

Unroot flash full stock rom reset custom rom counter to zero.

Kies is part of stock firmware .

You might have a CWM manager app in you list, The CF-root kernel installs a custom CWM manager. Look for a little grey cog with CWM across the front of it but if not it doesn't matter.
Welcome to the world of Root !!!!!!!!
Hi,I am having similar problems with my Samsung galaxy s2.My build number is Gingerbread.XXXKI3 and the baseband version is I9100XXXKI3. I have been trying to backup my rom by using rom manager.It kept giving me the same error E:failed to verify whole file signature.So then i looked up some posts and i tried using the cwm which was loaded after rooting and when i click backup, it boots my phone and then says
android system recovery 3e and there are no recovery or backup options.Just
reboot system now, apply update from sdcard, wipe data and wipe cache partition.
Below all that in yellow it says succesfully copied media files.And some other stuff and then successfully applied multi csc.
Can someone help me backup my rom.
Hallo all'
I have just bought A samsung galaxy s2. Its about 2 weeks old now. So I have recently decided to root it but I think It got wrong. It says its rooted because I can use rom manager and superuser. The problem is I just downloaded a rom and every time I get in to recovery mode iam getting the error: so when I go into recovery mode at the android screen with the triangle and exclemation mark I get the error:
Finding package:
Updating
E failed to verify whole file signature
E (another error cant remeber)
Then it goes into recovery mode but I only have.4 options
Reboot
Wipe system
Update system (when I choose update.zip doesnt work)
Wipe cache
help me please?

you need to download flash an insecure kernel in order to get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Flash the zImage of your root kernel. You will get it by extracting the .tar root file. Copy it to your SD card and flash via CWM with the option Flash Kernel.
Sadly that should not work as at this point he is still running e3 recovery.

Another problem
Solution of brainedbysaucepans worked, but iam having another BIG problem now. So I have installed CWM and went in to CWM with Volume up+Home+Power buttons, from there i choose for install from zip and i have installed the newest
MIUI rom. Restarted. Screen doesnt get passed the ''Samsung galaxy s2'' screen with the triangle and exclemation mark. So I went back to CWM and wiped all data. Still cant get past 1st screen. Telephone is un-usuable. A brick is more usefull then my telephone atm :<. Please help. URGENT.
Without knowing what you have done wrong my suggestion would be to wipe the phone install a stock rom and start reading the faqs and guides .
Full wipe boot to recovery .
mounts and storage format data cache system sd card .
put phone to download mode and flash a stock rom .

Thank you! I know you are wise in saying this, as Recovery 3e requires signature verification for flashing external files. Tried pointing stock Recovery to .zip files on sd card (so as to toggle signature verification off), but it doesn't display those files for some reason. How do I get an alternate Recovery that will work with CWR, so that when I flash it will unpack, or how do I otherwise bypass this requirement? Samsung Galaxy SII, Sprint, rooted, but last 5 hours pretty hung up on getting full Recovery going. Obviously a bit of a noob, but would be wicked happy to get a workaround here so I can start flashing ROMs and such.

bs, cannot find it. BUKI1 2.3.5 (gingerbread.BUKJ3) no work at all
signature not verified
trying to use bloatkill.zip on my Huawei h866c. After placing .zip folder on sd card and updating with recovery, I get signature verification failed message. Is there a work around. My phone is not rooted and cannot be rooted because of the addition of SuameKinUser.apk to my system files. I would like to remove it so I can traditionally root this device.
Thanks for the help.
I'm having the same sort of problem at the moment, did you ever resolve this?
My phone was locked to the 3 network when I got it, I rooted the phone and got it to the current set up as below;
Samsung gt-i9100
android version - 2.3.5
baseband version - I9100NEKI2
kernel version - [email protected] #2
build number - GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I have SuperSU installed
I have recently tried to update using Cyanogenmod and Revolt files/guides here on XDA, the latest file being revolt_i9100-ALPHA-20131011.zip however i get the same message on install of;
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Can anyone please point out what is going wrong or direct me to another guide that would be best suited to upgrading from my current setup?
searched the forums and learnt what i can but need some help...
So i rooted my samsung galaxy s2 with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
then reinstalled the original kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle.
Then I thought it would be best to back up everything before I mess around and i understand Rom manager could do that, so I:
Installed the app,
Selected flash clockwork mod recovery option in rom manger,
Chose backup current rom
it came up with this error:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So i found this thread which sometime said would fix it on some forum
http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/06...cwm-recovery-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-ii-how-to/
did what it said and installed it, went into rom manager after reboot selected backup current rom again and it froze with a yellow triangle and android guy showing. I switched it off and on again then it went through the backup process...
Have I done things correctly?
how can I get rid of the yellow Triangle again and still beable to backup?
was the freeze screen one moment away from me bricking my phone?
and finally how do I restore the back up I made if anything goes wrong, from recovery mode?
Also after these changes where made I only get a quadrant score of 2566 from 3246 have these changes affected that?
I'm looking to maybe try Lightening ROM when I get things sorted, is there anything i should know on that?
Thank you for your time.
Your links don't work... first things first don't use rom manager, second find the cf-root kernel that matches your firmware here and flash it with odin... now you have root and recovery installed.
Now if you want to backup your phone reboot into recovery by holding volume up(down is for download mode for flashing kernels) + home + power then navigate to backup.
Thanks for your reply i've updated the links...
My kernel currently says:
2.6.35.7
[email protected] #12
so very unsure of the kernel I need to have in the link you provided...
My orginal kernel was XWKF3 if thats any help?
Wait so you have cm7 installed and then you installed an original kernel? That's just messed up.
There's a kf3 kernel in that link that i posted but now i have no idea if it'll work with cm7 at all.
If you want to get rid of the triangle simply get a usb jig from ebay for a few bucks.
Great the black colors are bk to normal on the device and I've created a new bkup with CWM...
so now say if I wanted to put: Lite'ning Rom on there.
I just install the rom how it says in the thread and if I want to get rid of it I just restore my backup?
Can I install modded rom's on top of modded rom's or is it best to just restore backup each time?
Yes as long as you made a backup of your previous rom you can easily restore it if you don't like the new rom.
Majority of roms wipe all the data/system directories so you can install them over top of each other, if you experience some fc issues go back into cwm and wipe the data/system/cache partitions and reinstall.
Thank you very much all is running ok
Just a quick note CF-root comes with CMW manager app but its been taken off when I wiped the data and cache as the social hub was forcing to close... (fixed after wipe)
is there anyway to get this app back, I know I can still back up through recovery mode but its a brilliant app.

so today i found some instruction on how to root my phone. i followed the instructions to the t using this web instructions.renjusblog.com/2011/06/root-samsung-galaxy-s2-easily.html i downloaded the odin the XWKDD tar file and the super one click program i followed the instructions and my phone seems to be rooted. there's no problem there.
next i wanted to try a custom rom. so i found instruction on how to do it. and read that cyanogen mod 7 was a good one. so i found instructions online from here thetechjournal.com/electronics/computer/software/mobile-software-computer/install-cyanogenmod-7-on-samsung-galaxy-s-ii.xhtml
so i downloaded rom manage premium from the app world and installed it. i then followed the instructions. i click flash work mod recovery. then a screen pops up and i click Samsung galaxy s2 and it downloads vr 4.0.1.5 no problem. then i go to the next step and i click reboot into recovery my phone shuts off and the Samsung logo come on and it enter android system recovery with 4 options reboot system apply update from sdcard wipe data factory reset wipe cash partitions. in blue letters

can some please help me fix this so i can get clockwork recover working so i can load the new rom and help would be appreciated and if u need more details let me know
Thanks dor what lol i need sone help lol
when you say your phone is rooted, has it put super user on it?
if you're struggling with this then i think you'll find re-rooting with a cf-root file will be far easier for you, go in to settings and about phone and look at your baseband, it should say something like i9100xwkdd, if thats the version you are on then you need to download the corresponding cf-root, although id recommend updating the firmware to xxki3 first then cf-root with appropriate file, chainfire has a thread just for these.
Ok i check the base ban as u said and its i9100mugkg2 how do i re root it to the base ban u recomended? Where do i find the file? And yes i have the super user app
i've been doing some research as ive never seen ugkg2 before, this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16085735 explains a little about it
---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
im not sure how other people would do it, but personally id use odin v1.85 to flash xxki3, found here http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html
i would then use the cf-root for that version made by chainfire found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=732531&d=1317117018
this will root and put clockworkmodrecovery on it, once youve done these steps you can download any custom rom zip file, place it in the root of the sd card and flash
---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
i've been using a rom from androidmeda and haven't had any issues i think its the best one i've used, but are all down to user preference, are you familiar with flashing a rom with odin?
No im not this is a brand new phone and am just trying to learn the ropes. i happen to follow some instructions i found onlne it seemed to root my phone fine but now i cant fet in to clockwork recovery. so u say unroot my phone and re root it with the instructions u posted?

Hi everybody,
I've got an error when trying to flash my legend, or even enter to the recovery.
Here you got my specifications, in order to give you an idea:
S-off
HBOOT-1.00.0000
RADIO 7.13.35.05
I have an OTA 2.2 update, from Vodafone
I've rooted the device with "unlock root" some weeks ago.
ROM MAnager 5.0.0.6 with successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery: 5.0.2.0
The problems:
When I try to boot into recovery (for example, when in ROM MAnager I try to backup my ROM, or install a ROM from SD card), I get this message:
" E:can't open cache/recovery/command "
Then appear 4 options (blue colour): reboot / apply sdcard: update.zip / wipe data factory reset / wipe cachee partition. The 2 wipes work OK, the reboot also, but when I select "apply sdcard: update.zip" I get next message:
" Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted. "
When I try to open bootloader, I get this message (it appears but disappears 1 second later):
" SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image
SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image "
I get also an error message in ROM Manager when I do "Fixing Permissions". First I got a Superuser window "SuperManager has been granted Superuser permissions" but then a ROM MAnager window "An error occured while attemting to run privileged commans!".
I've tryed uninstalling and reinstalling ROM Manager, Factory reset, everything, except Wipe Dalvic (not sure about what it does).
I'm not sure what's not working. Is it the recovery or ClockworkMod ?? Is the HBOOT-1.00.0000 the problem ? Is a disfunction of the SD Card (i've not tryed another card...).
Not sure if it could be associated to the same problem but now when I plug the phone to the PC the phone don't ask me if I want only charging mode or USB drive, even if I fix the behaviour (ask always or USB drive default). Not sure if it's related or not.
So, I'm a bit lost. Anyone has any idea ??
Hi, I only having s-on, I can't flash custom recovery, so have never seen how it really works, but what your describing is your stock recovery hasn't hasn't been replaced with custom recovery (clockwork mod recovery) and is still looking for update.zip in the root folder of your SD card.
Maybe look for an update.zip in the xda forums and put it in the root folder and see if that helps.

Hi escombralls,
i think, you are the first who used the "unlock root"-tool wihtout boot-problems after that.
Maybe, this tool nevertheless did not work correct. All other legend users had no success with this tool.
You should use a guide from this forum for rooting ...
if you are in the system recovery and the top part say...
Android system recovery <3e>
you cant use the fake flash...
you can find guides where everyone uses with no problem to properly root your legend from the forum.
than you'll notice after the process (downgrade to 2.1 step) when you go to recovery you'll notice the top part of this bunch of blue words say...
Android system recovery <2e>
than you can use the fake flash...
head here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
for the fake flash and follow Blay0's simple rename copy instrutions...
with this fake flash (CWM) you can start flashing other rom and also partition your card (remember to backup important stuff before you do anything)...
good luck
OK, thanks for your inputs.
First of all I will try with another update.zip file.
If the problem persists, I will follow one of the guides for rooting...
I will keep you informed.
