Can't 'install zip from sd card' Help! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
First of all sorry for my english
I have a big problem with the CWM Manager
When i reboot into recovery i don't have the option "install zip from sd card".
I have only the options:
reboot system now
appy sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
and bellow it shows:
--Install from package
Finding update package..
Opening update package..
Verifying update package..
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted

That's because you have no custom recovery. Please flash an appropriate rooted kernel!

'Signature verification' error due to non flashing of zImage (extract the .tar of your root kernel) of your rooted kernel, so flash it via CWM first, then try to install zip's or anything you want.
Regards.

Are you trying to install bionix or already have it installed. Basically something is wrong with the update.zip on your sd-card.
In case you tried to rename something you downloaded from here to update.zip, do not do this. The update.zip that is created by Rom manager (or obtainted by a few less common methods) should be left alone. This is what the stock recovery loads in order for you to access the ClockworkMod Recovery. You must flash roms like bionix inside ClockworkMod Recovery by chosing to "install zip from sdcard" then navigating to the file.
Hope that helps.
Yeah, I have the update.zip file on my SDcard that has not been touched, and the ROM is on the bottom of update.zip. I'm trying to pass 'reinstall packages' in order to go into recovery mode.

I'm not sure what "on the bottom of update.zip" means. However to fix the issue of getting into recovery, simply load your existing rom and download (if you haven't already) Rom Manager from the market (the free version is fine). Then chose to install Clockworkmod recovery. Then go back into recovery and reinstall packages again (sometimes you have to reinstall packages twice before it works).
After speaking to a few people, they told me a solution to the signature problem. I downgraded from 3e to 2e and now it kind of works. Instead of getting the errors now, my phone simply reboots back in Recovery Mode instead of going into CWD(?) Mode.
Download rom manager and flash cw recovery again like the guy above said

[Q] Very Much lost in Android System Recovery

So I'm trying to use ROM Manager to flash ROM's onto my Galaxy S 2. Tried to boot the phone into recovery mode using the ROM Manager and I get the message:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
After doing some reading, some mentioned trying to completely uninstall ROM Manager and reinstalling it. Tried that and got the same thing.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPGK20CL342890root at DELL104 #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Anyone got any ideas?
there are plenty of instructions of how to do it in the developers section..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
then flash your desired ROM via Clockword Mod
Edit: it does mention incompatability with Rom Manager.. so flash the ROM you want from CWM (enter CWM by pressing Up on the Volume Key/Power Button/Home key on boot..
If you have already copied your ROM to the SD then go to "install ZIP from SD card", "choose ZIP from SD card" .. then choose the ZIP file of the ROM you want to install and it SHOULD work..
Do Not Use Rom Manager on the SGS2!
You can turn off signature verification, but I suggest downloading your rom again from where you got it and flash it by firstly getting into CWM as described above.
@OP- Signature related error due to unavailable of the Zimage from your rooted kernel. So flash the Zimage from your rooted kernel via CWM.

E:signature verification failed?

No matter which type of ROM i try to install, i keep getting this same error message. Mt Atrix is rooted with Superuser and ROM Manager Premium, the steps that ive taken are:
1. Downloaded Alien, CM7, Homebase4
2. ROM Manger, boot from SD, checked all boxes, phone reboots into CWR
3. Pressed up/down volume buttons to boot from SD
4. Booting from SD - Failed - E:signature verification failed
Any suggestions?
Im pretty new that this and for some reason the screen only works in landscape mode, the other way it would be staticy
have u try to copy downloaded ROM to Internal Storage? then reboot to CWM and install zip from sdcard>choose directory..
Yes ive tried both ways SD and Internal storage
should be an option to toggle signature verification just after install zip from sd.some recovery doesnt have it if thats the case use rom manager to install latest
Theres actually nones, theres three options: backup, wipe data, and wipe dalvik
heres a dumb question.
have you unlocked your bootloader yet and flashed recovery?
Yes, ive unlocked bootloader and reflashed recovery also, but every time i try to install a rom it says:
Install/sdcard
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I'm getting the same Verification Failed - How do I fix this?

Boot from sd? Maybe i dont understand what you are trying to say but i have never used a "boot from sd" to install a ROM. Do you simply mean "install zip from sd"? Because I can relate to that. But not boot from sd, never heard of that function.
I flash clockworkmod recovery and then choose Atrix. When I try to boot into Clockworkmod recovery, I get an error message "Failed to boot 2" and don't receive the boot menu.
When manually entering into recovery is when I receive the verification error.
Regarding the "Install from sdcard", it is an option in Clockworkmod.
I am rooted, copied beta.zip to the SD card, and installed ran Clockworkmod.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or why I'm getting the failed to boot 2 error?

faield to verify whole-file signature

I am trying to backup my rom on an SGS2 and installed Flash ClockworkMod Recover 4.0.1.5 via ROM manager but when I click backup ROM I get this error:
E:faield to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Stop using ROM manager
Flash this kernel.
CWM installation via rom manager is fake. Flash any kernel that has cwm. Codeworkx's kernel for example. Boot into recovery and choose backup. If you are worried about renaming your backup folder, you can do it provided, there are no spaces in between characters.

[Q] CWM Recovery gives an error while installing GAPPS! Help!

Hi! I've recently installed on a SGS3 CyanogenMod 11 with 4.4.4 Kitkat. Now I'm trying to install the GAPPS pack but when I select the zip file from the CWM Recovery menu it abort the installation saying "file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory"
You can find the image with the error at the end of the post. Thanks!
Do you have the newest recovery??
Or try to download another GAPPS. This can be broken
The file might be corrupted, try another ggapp if you have the latest version of CWM.
