Hi
Something odd happens with my SGS2
I had CWM recovery installed since i rooted my SGS2.
Later i installed ROM Manager and used it to upgrade the recovery.
Rom manager is reporting now 4.1.0.5 but, if i reboot in recovery i see 4.0.0.2 and an error: 'failed to verify the whole-file signature'
I tried to reinstall it from rom manager and it ends with success but after rebooting in recovery, the same problem.
The triangle and error.
Do i have an easy way to fix it that doesn't involve odin?
Thank you

Instructions
CWM Manager
Because of incompatibility with ROM Manager, I wrote and included "CWM Manager". This is a new app (as of March 30, 2011). You can find it under Applications -> CWM. It is much faster to use than manually booting into CWM and selecting these options.

To use rom manager you need to use a kernel that supports it and not cf-root from what i can understand. I think theres a thread for cwm 5.0 here somewhere. (someone please correct me if im wrong)

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
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
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?)
recovery 4 you are using old methods .

Help needed aswell
EDIT: I do not like the CWM4 as the recovery deletes it's self after about a day for some reason, then i have to reflash.
I am using the Stock XWKF4 rom (rooted) with superuser and busybox and i also can't use ROM to install clockwork mod recovery.
I get the same error as the guy above me.....Help
Please, Thanks,

Moving to Q&A
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 am also having issues. I have an SGS2 with 2.3.3..
I have rooted the phone and am trying to install Cyanogenmod7 (nightly build #22) to my phone.
I have downloaded ROM Manager, Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery (4.0.1.5) and have tried to 'Install ROM from SD Card', then selected the cyanogenmod. However, its coming up with the following message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
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.

I rooted my phone, i can get superuser permissions. I tried to install ClockworkMod and it failed miserably. I flashed it using ROM manager, and when my phone went into recovery, I hit "reinstall packages" twice, but I got an error both times. The error reads
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation abored"
According to ROM Manager, I have ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 (However, it never successfully flashed)
Thanks!
You need the modified 3E recovery.
I actually would suggest ODIN to JFD and root using my guide... its in my signature.
If you plan to flash a ROM, do option B in the guide... you will not even need to mess with Rom Manager (which by the way, has not been working for many Vibrant users recently).... your issue is the 3E recovery though.
ok, thanks very much. I'll use odin. Do you think clockworkmod will ever work on vibrants?
it always has, but something changed recently.. many people have also reported Rom Manager not successfully flashing CWR recently. My guide will make it so you are up and running. Basically it's just a update.zip from CWR that works.. i did nothing to it.

+1, This is true. there are many of reports that CWM flashing through Rom manager isn't working correctly. This guy has some awesome guides so check them out!
It seems CF-Root v4.1 is the bees-knees when it comes to rooting the Galaxy S II, but unfortunately it is not ROM Manager compatible.
Is there an up to date method to root the SGSII that works with Rom Manager? I found this link: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ng-odin-and-superoneclick-step-by-step-guide/ but I suspect there may be a newer method.
Here are my phone details, just in case:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE7
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555
bump......
Why don't you just install ROM Manager, then download latest clockwork recovery using ROM Manager?
It will then be ROM Manager compatible.
Because I need to attain root before I can flash clockworkmod. ROM Manager says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
I'm on the original galaxy and the easiest way I've found to root is to use odin or hemindall to flash a kernel with cwm. It roots and gives cwm in one action. Also theres a new super one click that I've had success with on many different brands of phones, hts, lg, moto

What I meant is, why don't you just flash CF-Kernel, then install ROM manager, then use that to install clockwork recovery.
There is a confusion that rom manager is not compatible with the kernel. That part is not true, rom manager is not compatible with the clockwork recovery that is supplied by the kernel, you just use the clockwork recovery that can be installed with rom manager. The cwm app is not compatible with the recovery installed by rom manager.
Flash codeworkx kernel, root it, and run rom manager to your hearts content.
I'm having this issue too.
I've spent most of the day trying different things.
Regardless of how I root, and what rom and kernel provides the base when I try and update cwm through rom manager then try and reboot into recovery through rom manager I get the failed to verify error.
I've rooted with the chainfire root, with codeworx kernal and then superone click, and it's made no difference.
I've also tried it from rooted stock firmwares, and custom roms.
Still cannot boot into recovery from rom manager.
I've also noticed that despite rom manager saying that I'm using the latest version, when I manually boot into cwm it shows the previous version.
edit: I even went back to stock and rooted using link in first post, then installed rom manager but same error.
Keeps going to 3e system recovery
God it's annoying
Further googling has led me to believe the issue is rom managers not being compatible with 3e recovery.
Apparently we need to have 2e recovery.
Any way to get that?
edit: Or can we disable signature verification in cwm?
re-edit: Well I found this in the cf root thread which will explain why I will never get rom manager to work
CF-Root includes a custom version of CWM4. I always make custom versions, as the originals often do not take some Samsung specific things into account.
CF-Root/CWM4 is NOT compatible with ROM Manager! Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly or using the CWM Manager application included with CF-Root
Where is the standard version then?

Codeworx said himself that his kernel won't work with rom manager.
If anyone is able to install roms through rom manager I'd like to know what rom, kernal, and how they rooted.

Haven't read that thread but i thought that was the whole point of his kernel, oh well.
Well I finally found a fix.
This time I can boot into recovery from rom manager.
No more failed to verify errors
What you need is this version of clockwork recovery

Flash it with odin, then use superoneclick version 1.95.
Hi guys ...
Need some help understanding something ...I was to chiken to root via Odin so I ended up rooting my GS2 with Unlockrootdotcom ...Its pc based and unrooted my phone without any prbs ..I then installed Titanium Bckup and Rom manager so far so good.
Now here is the prb ..I would like to make a full backup of my phone before I start messing around with Kernels and Roms. When I select "Backup Curent ROm" phone reboots and get the famous "E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed" ....Is the prb with the way Unlockroot rooted my phone or am I missing something ?
I read that I need to flash with Cf-root but would that not alter the kernel and therefore it I would not have an orginal full back up
I guess Im a little confused ..any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
Sounds like you don't have CWM recovery, rather stock (3e) recovery. In order to get CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which comes with it.
How can I tell I have 3E recovery ?

It says 3e at the top.
If you want to dump your current kernel before flashing one with CWM recovery, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409484
After flashing a kernel with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery to backup or CWM Manager app (installed by Chainfire CF-root kernel). ROM Manger is not compatible with CWM Recovery on SGS2.

I have SGS2 rooted vis DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit (zergRush Exploit).
I have installed Rom Manager Premium and then installed CWM Recovery from within the application.
I wanted to backup my ROM but I receive the following error after the phone restarts into recovery.
Code:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Can any one tell me whats wrong?
Is CF-Root must for CWM Recovery? or other root methods are not good for CWM.
Don't use Rom Manager & CWRecovery together. Use/install one or the other. Rom Manager has a habit of breaking CWRecovery on SGS2 & can also cause bootloops.
So that means if you want to use Rom Manager, you need to root your phone with a method other than CFRoot which installs CWRecovery by default. And conversely if you root your phone with CFRoot do not install Rom Manager.

I agree with MB. Rom manager was good on the S1 until 3e recovery was introduced.
Basically, you have rooted your phone only but still have stock recovery. From what I remember, for rom manager to install cwm recovery it needs to flash an update zip. But it can't do so on the stock 3e recovery.
So as per MB's advice, flash cf root and use the cwm app that it installs for backups, flashing zips etc.

Because I already have a rooted phone (Non CF-Root).. can you suggest a method to install the latest CWM Recovery which will be compatible with ROM Manager.
The only reason I am backing up ROM is to save my data before ICS update, just in case things go wrong.
No idea. I started with CFRoot, and have used kernels that have CWM installed as default since, so I've never installed CWM separately/as a standalone. There are plenty of posts on here detailing how to install same tho.
Might want to get rid of Rom Manager first.

Do you boot to stock recovery when you boot with combination (volume up+ power+ home)? Because I had the same problem and when I booted to racovery with the combination, It was CWM. So I use rom managaer to install, and then normal boot to flash. If it doesn't boot to CWM eitherway, flash CF-Root again and don't use rom manager to flash

With Vol Up + Power + Home the phone to recovery mode showing
Android System Recovery <3e>
I assume its not the CWM Recovery... so I need to search a method to install CWM recovery manually??
and un-install rom-manager
Root + CWM .
