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.

On the forums somewhere there's some tutorial on how to get arround that but for me its easier to downgrade to stock 2.1 using Odin and then root and get clockwork and you wont have that problem

you have a 3e recovery since you upgraded to 2.2 You need to either modify it by following the thread in the development section or....
odin back to 2.1, let it boot, root it.
install rom manager, install CWM recovery.
reboot into CWM recovery, you'll probably have to reinstall packages.
Flash w/e custom rom you want. Just be mindful of voodoo and whatnot.
clicky thanks if it helped.

You might need this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
Hi,
Try this one:
1. Download one of stock kernel from this thread which is required by your ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
2. Put it in internal SDCard and change name to update.zip
3. Flash latest CWM through ROM Manager
4. Reboot into recovery via ROM manager
5. Choose 'Reinstall packages' when rebooting to recovery. You may need to do it twice.
6. After successfully reboot into recovery, you can flash your ROM now as usual. Put your ROM file zip in internal SDcard, then you can 'choose zip from sdcard'.
Good luck.
IN the noob guide I state you need the 3e modified recovery, stock 3e will not allow you to install CWR.
From the guide:
If you have issues flashing Clockwork Recovery's update.zip, it is because the new stock recovery (3E). Please see this thread.

Like others said, you have a lot of choices.
1 -use the modified 3e
2 -odin to stock JFD and use the update.zip to root, RM, CWR, flash rom of choice
3 -odin using the ALT METHOD in the noob guide, flash rom of choice

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

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?)

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 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.

Hi guys,
I have unlocked my bootloader a few days ago, and also installed the CWM recovery, which I used to install the ATT 2.3.4 ROM (I own an International Atrix), and it was working flawlessly. Being annoyed by that bunch of bloatware, I decided to install the Alien-ROM, so I wiped data with fastboot -w, and entered CWM to erase the cache partition/dalvik cache and install Alien. The problem is, when I tried to install the .zip package, CWM threw at me "Installation Aborted", with no error message whatsoever, just before "Beginning Installation". At first I thought my .zip was corrupted, so I re-downloaded it and tried again, but got the same error.
Being unable to install the AlienROM, I fastbooted the ORFR ROM (surely a lot cleaner than ATT's) and installed the ROM manager app, and through it, updated my CWM to the latest version. And then there I was trying to install the .zip again, with no success. As a last effort, I uninstalled manually the install-recovery.sh file and the recovery partition, reinstalled Tenfar's CWM, but fell into the same error: "Installation Aborted".
Does someone have a clue of that is happening??
Thanks in advance.
Rom manager recovery does not work always.what I suggest is use tenfar recovery and then put alien zip on your ext.SD card and use tenfar recovery --- choose zip from SD card--- browse and select alien.zip and flash through it.
Hope this helps.
Well, I tried to install Tenfar's CWM, as I said at the end of my first post. I recently installed a new CWM-based recovery, and it also failed to install any .zip. Could it be because I'm using ORFR ROM? I've noticed the misbehaving os CWM when I uninstalled ATTs ROM...
Install rom racer's recovery.
I voided my warranty.
Use this link: romracer's custom CWM
Let us know if this helps

How are you installing RomRacer's CWM? Flashing the .zip or via fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I've installed it through fastboot, as it's the only way I can do it... my problem resides solely on the fact that I can't install any .zip through it, I keep getting "Installation aborted", no matter what I try to install (Kernels/ROMs/etc)
Pedrohz... Are you using a Mac? If so do you have it set to unzip after downloading? Then are you re-zipping the file before you try to install? If so turn off the unzip feature. Just a thought... Hope it helps
Similar Issue, can't boot into anything :/ if you can help, read below :S
Ok, so I backed up using Oringinal CWM, and it said all OK. After this, I restored the backup, just to check all was working. I got the error error formatting /system. Rebooting, I found that my phone wouldn't boot. Thinking the only way out was to flash a new ROM, I flashed the new boot.img from evals Orange France 2.3.4 firmware, so that I would have the ram fix. After this, I wiped all the caches and the user data, and tried to install the ROM.
SAME FRIGGEN ERROR. no error code, just installation aborted.
Finally, I tried AGAIN with romracers cwm, but same error. Restoring from backup now gives the error - "Unable to flash new boot.img" or something along those lines.
If anyone cares, heres what my phones running
Firmware = Orange UK 4.4.20 (Android 2.2.2)
SBF= Bell_ihop (the international bootloader unlock sbf)
State= Won't boot past the big red M in the centre of the screen.

What rom and kernel are you using?
also you are rooted right?
Rom manager doesnt work with them all.
You are missing the step of flashing the zImage of your rooted kernel via CWM. Copy the zImage to your SD card and then flash it via CWM with the option 'Flash Kernel', device will reboot. Done.

I'm on stock Rom with Chainfires Root kernel. Phone is rooted fine.
I've Flashed ClockworkMod using odin this time but I was disappointed that Rom Manager couldn't do it for me without the use of Odin.
Well I thought Clockworkmod was installed ok but every time I try to boot into cwm I get the green android with a exclamation mark. I then have to do a battery pull then it boots into cwm recovery fine.
Any Ideas?
I can access CWM recovery too. But not the rom manager's recovery.

same thing happens to me, im currently running Lite'ning v6.1 so its rooted fine, however CWM still says E:failed to verity whole-file signature
Need help with this
Top of CWM says "Android system recovery (3e)"
@ Sparksltd, on thats android screen with the android and the ! mark, press the power key, this will then show you the CWM menus.
So it seems rom manager can't install cwm on my phone without me installing cwm on my phone in the first place using Odin.
Seems kinda pointless to me.
Hi guys! I have been reading through the post and searching for possible solution to my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 problem but I cant find any solutions. Here is the story:
I have flashed the GT-P1000 tab with clockworkmod version 6 (i am not sure the exact version) using Odin.
Now after flashing the recovery, I have successfully installed Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly build) and everything was successful and everything is great.
A friend of mine borrowed the tab and he put a pattern to lock the phone, instead of asking him what is the pattern I just decided to wipe the tab again to make a clean install. So what I did was I went to recovery and selected "format /system" which I shouldn't have, then after rebooting it is not booting up to Cyanogen anymore, so what i did was I just wiped everything (format /data, cache and factory reset)
Now this is the weird part, the devices has kept on booting up to clockwork recovery and it says the device is not yet rooted, it is asking me if it is ok to root it, I always selected yes
After another boot up, the clockwork recovery is now version 3.0.0.5??? it is really weird? I never installed any clockwork mod with a lower version... How did that happen?
Now whenever I try to install from sd card or restore it or mount it nothing happens, it just says:
E:Can't mount
E:unknown volume
E:unable process volume! skipping
I tried to flash the recovery again using Odin many times but still the clockwork mod is stuck in version 3.0.0.5.
Right now, I am not sure if my understanding of the entire system is correct:
1. Should I install a new recovery, if yes, how and why is it whenever I am installing it again it is not being installed, it gets stuck to version 3.0.0.5?
2. Are there any other recovery I should use and how should I install it? is it the same as using the Odin?
3. Is there a way to install the original recovery of this tab and then from there I will start over again.
@Battousai1
1. & 2. Find an Odin flashable recovery for p1000... Go to download mode and flash it with Odin...
After doing that you shouldn't have the problem anymore...
3. To install the original recovery find the stock rom which is again Odin flashable ... Flash it and you'll have the stock recovery...
