Hi guys, I'm pretty new here and I'm having trouble flashing ANY rom onto my galaxy s2. It is rooted because I've been able to install CWM and Titanium backup.
When I tried to flash Batista, CM7 or TXP+, booting up from CWM, it says the following:
Intalling package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?
Hey mate.. You have a permissions issue..
The way I fixed it was to install super manager (free from marketplace).. Enable the root functions in settings, then use it to browse to the root folder (where you'll see system, lib etc) select all of the folders there and use super manager to change the attributes to R/W... (attributes button is the one with the $$$ symbols on the menu).. Once done, reboot and try again.
You could also find that in CWM boot menu, the fix permissions options will fix it.. Try that first.. It didn't work for me though but super manager did
Good Luck

This happen to me too....probably ur ROm does not come with CWM..
try use ODIN to flash this kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651559&d=1310388033
then only u reboot ur phone with the CWM icon inside your phone
before u flash the kernel...makesure u wipe the phone data and wipe cache.
hope this will help ..
Best to flash fresh from stock firmware and flash cf root.. It has a stock kernel and is already rooted with superuser and cwm manager..

Changing permission to r/w for all directories is a bad idea.
In cwm, goto 'install zip from sdcard', and select 'toggle signature verification' to turn it off.
Now install ur rom.

i think i accidentally deleted the update.zip file i think cuz thats what the error said
but is there anyway where i can fix this or download it somewhere please and thank you
Just open rom manager, install cwr (top option), when done, reboot to recovery... If it's the stock recovery click on the reinstall packages... I think that's the name it uses. Only like 4 options to choose, so it should be obvious.

i did that but it doesnt boot into recovery and when i boot into recovery manually and i try to reinstall packages i get an error about the update.zip
this also happened to me, use rom manager then flash clockwork mod. after that go to your files go get the update.zip file in you clockworkmod folder and move it to the root of your sd. reboot to recovery then reinstall packages.

thank you!! lol i was freaking out that maybe i did something wrong haha but thank you again
Ok so I installed rom manager and downloaded the M9 rom and put it in the root of my sdcard. I select install rom and it reboots in recover . The options I have are
reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd
I tried selecting reinstall packages but it gets about 10% and says E:failed to verify whole file signature
Installation aborted.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
It looks like you are not rooted or you lost your update folder (the rooting folder)
You should see if the phone is rooted on the app menu a superuser icon if you do not see that then it is not rooted. When the phone is correctly rooted in recovery the menu will have "install zip from the sdcard" if that is not there thenit is not rooted. This could be caused from a bad flash you may need to reflash the root (use oneclick) and/or may need to odin back to stock and start from there.

You need to flash Clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 thats available in this forum. it will wipe your system properly. If it dont work( but it will) you have to go the fastboot way.
installed 3.0.0.5 but still no go.
Fastboot..does this involve using adb?
How does it work?
while in 3.0.0.5 i try to whipe i get the following:
Data whipe complete.
e: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
e: cant open /cache/recovery/log
e: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
e: cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

never mind that it wipes anyhow. Go to mounts and storage and format system,data,cache and then you go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
Thans for the quick reply and the effort.
Whiped dalvink but when installing update.zip it still says:
Installing update....
Installation aborted.

tried both.
When i try to install the rom it will give the error within a second..like it is not even trying. I checked the sd-card and the update.zip is there.
It seems like recovery isnt even trying to open it.
Tried it with and without signature check. still no go!
ill give it one more try with the stock rom.... maybe i had a bad download.
nope..still no go.
when i verify signature...it says signature verification failed.

Yes something stinks thaats for sure. I had damaged memory on my folio but eeven theen it started the install. I would download again andrenaame the file from update zip to whatever.zip and insstall from sd card. Or else you will need a functioning Adb setup to use fastboot. Do you have that?
I have to ask the obvious, the downloaded file you have, did you extract it? Just sso you havent put it straight to sd-card. I have done that sometimes then remembered that FolioMod zip has to be extracted and there is the flashable zip.
i will setup adb tomorrow. have to go to work now though.
Thank you for you time and efford...
Is there a way to uninstall clockwork and use the standard recovery instead?
OMG.... i feel like such an idiot right now....hahahaha
I am so used to flashing whatever zip on my htc desire that i didnt think of that.
Its flashing right now.
Thank you for refreshing my memory and Sorry for wasting your time.
Your my new hero

I have an Atrix, I have Prebeta4 install working great. I downloaded beta.zip placed in root of /sdcard reboot into recovery, install from zip I get an error "Can't open /sdcard/beta.zip"(bad). Installation Aborted
I also noticed something wired after I installed prebeta4. I now have "/mnt/emmc/" this is actually my sdcard. Im a bit confused as to why I get the failed install. When i place beta.zip in /mnt/emmc then reboot into recovery I dont see the beta.zip file.
I have tried to wipe data/cache and Dalvik no success.
Where did i go wrong? thanks

In Cyanogenmod setting -> Applications u must have checked "Use Internal Storage".
Unchecked it and reboot. U should be just fine.

There is an already dedicated CM7 thread. U should try asking there first because it helps in keeping the information consolidated and clean.

Flash stock rom with flashtool to recover
You shouldn't Format system before installing a custom rom, only if it's required in the thread oft the rom. And how die you Format Boot?
This is not necessary on our xperias. SD card neend't be formatted, too.
Do it like that:
1. Copy the FXP rom zip and if you want the gapps (Google apps) zip to your SD card
2. Flash the boot.img
3. Boot in cwm
4. Wipe data/factory reset
5. Wipe cache, advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
6. Install the FXP ZIP
(6.1) Install the gapps
7. Reboot
That's it

You have to open the rom zip, go to the google folder inside meta-inf, open the updater script and delete the first 3 lines (assert getprop)

U have also faced same problem while installing fxp 152 cm10 on my live with Walkman. But I have backup my previous cm9 stable on my PC and i have cm9 zip on my sd card too.so after that installation aborted error I disconnected my battery and then I again connected my phone to PC via fastboot and flashed cm9 kernel and installed cm9 rom. As I too forgotten to take nandroid backup so after installation my phone started normally.
don't worry do it like this.if you ain't got any stable rom then download it in PC and copy it on SD card.
