sorry i forgot to add what the error is
E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)

Hm, I knew.
Copy the zImage of your rooted kernel to SD card. Then flash it via CWM with the option Flash Kernel. Done.

When I initiate a Backup Current Rom from Rom Manager Premium v4.3.1.4 the phone will:
Reboot into Android System Recovery <3e> -->
Then have this text on the screen:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And I am left with options to:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I end up rebooting and the phone reboots properly. I am trying to backup my current rom (stock ke7 rooted with odin instructions from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334) so just incase I do something to mess up the phone I can always go back and restore.
Can anyone provide help with this issue??? Go easy on me since I am a recent convert from iOS and this is my first Android device.
I have the sam issue
rom manager isnt completely compatible with the sgs2. Thats why people use alternate methods such as cwm.

Thank you!
Is CWM always included in custom roms?

Not always, but they would state if they do or dont. From what I've seen here on the sgs2 forums, it looks like cwm is included.
The big question is, have you rooted your phone? because unless your phone is rooted, you cant back it up via recovery/cwm.
To root, follow the directions in the FIRST post of this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
it will root your phone, and install cwm recovery, and a cwm app (which has similar functions to rom manager) that is fully compatible with the sgs2.
yeah dats great...chainfire method...
Hi,
Where can I find an how to guide to use this utility???
I've used CWM quite a few times with great success but having trouble now.
Running Darkyrom 10.4.2 with semaphore kernel on a SGH-T959D, when I try to backup I get the following:
E:failed to mount /dbdata (invalid argument)
--Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
This while trying to do a rom backup. I've just flashed the semaphore kernel the other day, not sure if this is contributing to my problem. I've also tried to reinstall the app but no love. I was able to boot into recovery and do a backup from there however.
Anyone help a brutha out? I'd be very appreciative...
Still trying to figure this out. I've tried wiping cache/data to no avail. Next I reflashed 10.4.2 with a wipe and reinstalled the original kernel. Result is that I'm now able to perform the backup in question.
I'm guessing the reason it wasn't working was because of Semaphore? Does this make sense?
sounds like your in the stock recovery and not cwm recovery.

But I'm trying to backup current rom via ROM Manager? Any idea what I can do to try and fix it? I've actually just reflashed Semaphore to see if it still happens and I'm back to where I started unfortunately.
Seems like the only way I can get to recovery mode is via the following:
Power button menu
Via ROM Manager
I cannot, with either kernel, get into recovery via the 3 button method.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I keep trying to flash the .zip file but it says it's denied or something like that. I really want to get this ROM working on my Galaxy but I'm not going to flash until I get the recovery saved first. I hope I make sense.

Turn off signature verification in the install zip from sd card menu and try again. It should work once you have done that
Wait, are you trying to use CWM to flash Entropy's CWM release? 'Cause the only release I've seen from him is his Daily Driver release, a version of CWM.
If that IS what you're trying to flash, you need to use Odin or Heimdall.
Extract the zimage file from the .zip. In Heimdall, you'll want to flash that file to the kernel in heimdall, or let Odin flash it wherever it belongs.

maybe your phone is UNROOT ready??
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED U FRIEND
I'm on 4.2.2 at the moment. The phone is rooted. CWM v6.0.4.4
Every now and then the phone reminds me to install the update. When I attempt, I just get:
E: Invalid command argument
Finding...
Opening...
Verifying...
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: Signature verification failed
Even if I press 'Yes - install untrusted zip', I just get a few messages that I can't read, and then "Installation aborted" and phone restarts.
I did some googling and the only thing I found was something about it being unable due to the phone being rooted. And to manually update with signature verification off, but then it didn't really explain how to go about that.
Could anyone help me out here? If possible I'd like to get it to work without having to change too much.
