[Q] ClockWork Recovery issue after FROYO upgrade

Hello everybody, First post in your amazing forum.
Recently I updated my vibrant to Froyo with Mini Kies. All went OK.
I rooted my SGS with OneClickRoot.
Now, I want to back up everything and can't get to ClockWork.
Re-installed ROM MANAGER.
RE-flashed clockworkmod.
When i choose backup current rom, my SGS restart into recovery.
I choose "re-install packages" and then get:
"Failed to verify whole-file signature
signature verification failed
installation aborted" over and over again.
Can anyone please instruct me what can I do?
Thanks in advance.
[TUTORIAL] Full Steps to Acheive Root + ClockwordMod Recovery with new KA6 2.2

[Q] How to install Clockwork mod revovery on newly rooted and updated to KA6 2.2?

i looked at the main how to root and clockwork one, so pl no links but a freindly noob guide, thanks
Easiest way is to download ROM Manager from the market if you already have root.
From ROM manager, hit 'flash clockwork recovery' and then all should be gravy.
Reboot into recovery via the power menu (if the option exists) or by the hardware buttons (hold the vol up/down buttons while powering on)
From there, if you boot into a recovery that's not CWM, then hit reinstall packages and reboot. You should get there.
Good luck
it says failed to verify whole file signature installation aborted
check the thread...

having a hell of a time with the same issue.... I have a Vibrant Galaxy S updated to froyo KA6 using kies. I've endlessly searched and read forum posts and i gather that the froyo has issues with not allowing clockworkmod recovery because of problems with signature check(?). Tried the 3eRecovery installer which is supposed to fix it, but the only difference is when I flash recovery from CWM and reboot to recovery and reinstall files, it no longer gives me an error message, but reboots back to stock recovery.
So far, this is what i've done:
Upgraded to 2.2 with keis mini
rooted with oneclickroot
downloaded rom manager in the market
flash clockworkmod recovery
reboot into recovery, reinstall files (gives error message)
used 3e_recovery_installer
(supposed to fix the issue, no longer get error, but still stock recovery)
Is it really this difficult or did i miss something somewhere? Thanks for any help...

follow that guide it will take u less then 10 min to go back to stock eclair with odin and flash it recovery from download mode and u will be rooted. its so easy that i do it before each rom as its very pain free and fast and it gives me a clean fresh install.
GOOD LUCK

[Q] Failure on installing Custom ROMS!

I have literally read all the threads here about installing custom roms...
however my phone doesn't seem to work..
I have Galaxy S Vibrant.

I got help from this 'noob guide' but still I have different problem.
I have froyo. (2.2) and my phone is rooted. (one click root)
I installed ROM Manager (free) and flashed it. and then when i reboot into recovery, and click 'reinstall packages' I get the following notifications:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
What's the problem with my method?
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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.

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
I personally followed this tutorial and it worked a treat:

[Q] - Fascinate Root Problems

Hello all,
Let me first start off by explaining my problem:
So I was rooted to begin with and was running superclean 2.92vooodoo with a oc kernel. For some reason my phone wouldnt start so I ended up resetting it to the original 2.1 eclair (Kill me!).
Ok, so I have superuser access, but can't get the right clockwork recovery in there to flash over a new rom. It says I am on rom manager 3.0 whatever, I try to install 2.5 or whatever the one that I had working and it says "Could not download, try later" The other problem is that my recovery is still blue (when I boot into recovery, instead of red.) When I try to install update.zip or anything that would help it. I get the response
"E: Failed to verify whole-file signature. E: Signature verification failed installation aborted."
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Scott
Do not use Rom Manager for anything in here. You will need to flash CWM 2. through Odin.
Yup CWM ALL will do the trick through ODIN

Thanks a lot for the help,

[Q] CWM Recovery install error

I was rooted my SGS i9000(XXJVS) with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and successfully rooted my phone, but superuser did not been installed, so I installed from Android Market. Then I downloaded ROM manager, and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". It has been downloaded, allowed superuser permissions, and ROM Manager wrote that it has been downloaded.
But if I reboot into recovery mode, I get a message that writes:
Verifying update package... (meanwhile a bar fills up to about 15%)
E:failed to verify whole-filesignature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And I got a normal recovery mode.
What should I do to install CWM? I only clicked "Root" button in SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and I didn't do any wipe data.
Hey..
You should not root youre phone with apps like superoneclock or else
please use a custom rom or kernel
you will find it in the xda for sure just search for root I9001
Further more be carefull with the clockworkmod it may brick your phone
try to install the cyanogenmod i think it includes root and the cwm
Stay well
