Hi.
For not that many days ago I rooted my SGS II. I did it with this easy hack, that some people had found out. Just plugged in my phone to my computer and doubleclicked on a batch file - that was it. It installed Super User and rooted the phone.
But it did not flash CWM, so I just have the stock Samsung recovery.
I downloaded Rom Manager from Market and pressed the "Flash CWM" button. It then downloaded the newest 4.0.1.5 CWM but when I try to reboot into recovery it is still just the Samsung one.
Though I got a new file, update.zip - guess that it is Rom Manager that have downloaded CWM into that file.
Should I just from Samsung recovery "apply update" - and choose the update.zip to get CWM recovery working?
No need to fiddle around with this Odin stuff, cause my phone is rooted right?
Best regards
Just tried to "apply update from sdcard" from the stock recovery.
Chose the update.zip and it showed on the display:
Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
- everything still works though.
Some friendly one, please tell me how to flash CWM in my situation?
Best regards
BTW, this was how I rooted the SGS II:

- very easy
Could a mod please move this topic over to the General forum of SGS II?
Best regards
Hey, just check about 5 threads down. I just helped another user sort this issue using Odin. The thread is titled 'cwm will not install - 3e running'.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400
I just rooted the phone, and installed the clockwork mod, using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099, did everything correctly the only difference was that my phone did not reboot (at least I don't remember that it did, I believe I just had to turn it on myself). Anyway, I then installed rom manager and "flashed clockwork recovery". I later tried to "reboot into recovery" through Rom Manager and when it booted through the stock recovery (2e) It displayed the following "failed to verify whole-file signature" and it said some other crap. What should I do? My phone is running stock OTA 2.1 ea28 and I want to put EB01 or something of that nature. Help me please.
update: i just uninstalled Rom Manager, i just read that its not always compatible and creates problems...what should i do now? should i use odin again to reinstall clockwork?
Dont use ROM Manager, its not 100% fascinate friendly check out my guide @ androod development. Dl cwm in step 8 and flash it with odin
ok i just flashed it with odin using your file, but since I don't have rom manager anymore how do i access clockwork recovery, (in other words how do i flash roms now)?
you can boot into recovery for holding down the up and down volume buttons while it powers up, until the samsung logo appears. then choose "install zip from sd card".

Press "Thx" button and please leave post in my guide so others will know it works.

Hey guys,
Yes I know there are so many threads about this. Yes I have looked at all of them. No I don't understand what's going on. No, there is no simple answer. I have spent the last 3 hours trolling the interwebs to find the answer and there is no intelligible one (I can find) to this problem.
I have:
- Galaxy S2 i9100GT
- Vodafone AU
- Just flashed kernel: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KF2-v4.0-CWM4
- Then install CWM
- Success
- Enter recovery mode.
- Bring me to Android system recovery <3e> with following error:
Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Tried:
- Taking my 32gb SD card out (did not help).
Someone in some thread said to do this:
1, Click the CWM Manager Icon in tray
2, Reboot into CWM recovery
3, Wipe data cache and Dalvik Cache
4, Install from zip
5, Reboot & restart into recovery
6, Install from Zip
7. Wait 1 min or so
8, Cyanogenmod loads!! - Yay
- WTF is Dalvik cache? (more importantly, do I need to know?)
- Install WHAT from zip?
I am a noob and about to cry. I hate myself. Help

Seems like you're booting to recovery using some app? Just power off your device and hold Volume Up + Home + Power all the way until you're in the recovery menu.
If you can't handle this you should use the Cf-root kernel in original android development under sgs2. Its the simplest to install and get you running

I did what you said and I can't find any CWM app in the apps list now. However, like prodygee suggested, when I enter recovery from off CWM works.
Is this how it's meant to be?
Thanks.
P.S. Also, how would I go about 'unrooting' the phone and getting Samsung Kies back on there? I think I prefer the stock tbh. I'm too much of a noob.

Unroot flash full stock rom reset custom rom counter to zero.
and getting Samsung Kies back on there?
Kies is part of stock firmware .

You might have a CWM manager app in you list, The CF-root kernel installs a custom CWM manager. Look for a little grey cog with CWM across the front of it but if not it doesn't matter.
Welcome to the world of Root !!!!!!!!
Hi,I am having similar problems with my Samsung galaxy s2.My build number is Gingerbread.XXXKI3 and the baseband version is I9100XXXKI3. I have been trying to backup my rom by using rom manager.It kept giving me the same error E:failed to verify whole file signature.So then i looked up some posts and i tried using the cwm which was loaded after rooting and when i click backup, it boots my phone and then says
android system recovery 3e and there are no recovery or backup options.Just
reboot system now, apply update from sdcard, wipe data and wipe cache partition.
Below all that in yellow it says succesfully copied media files.And some other stuff and then successfully applied multi csc.
Can someone help me backup my rom.

ok i have a Samsung galaxy s 2 from bell unlocked on the rogers network in Canada.
so today i found some instruction on how to root my phone. i followed the instructions to the t using this web instructions.renjusblog.com/2011/06/root-samsung-galaxy-s2-easily.html i downloaded the odin the XWKDD tar file and the super one click program i followed the instructions and my phone seems to be rooted. there's no problem there.
next i wanted to try a custom rom. so i found instruction on how to do it. and read that cyanogen mod 7 was a good one. so i found instructions online from here thetechjournal.com/electronics/computer/software/mobile-software-computer/install-cyanogenmod-7-on-samsung-galaxy-s-ii.xhtml
so i downloaded rom manage premium from the app world and installed it. i then followed the instructions. i click flash work mod recovery. then a screen pops up and i click Samsung galaxy s2 and it downloads vr 4.0.1.5 no problem. then i go to the next step and i click reboot into recovery my phone shuts off and the Samsung logo come on and it enter android system recovery with 4 options reboot system apply update from sdcard wipe data factory reset wipe cash partitions. in blue letters

can some please help me fix this so i can get clockwork recover working so i can load the new rom and help would be appreciated and if u need more details let me know
Thanks dor what lol i need sone help lol
when you say your phone is rooted, has it put super user on it?
if you're struggling with this then i think you'll find re-rooting with a cf-root file will be far easier for you, go in to settings and about phone and look at your baseband, it should say something like i9100xwkdd, if thats the version you are on then you need to download the corresponding cf-root, although id recommend updating the firmware to xxki3 first then cf-root with appropriate file, chainfire has a thread just for these.
Ok i check the base ban as u said and its i9100mugkg2 how do i re root it to the base ban u recomended? Where do i find the file? And yes i have the super user app
i've been doing some research as ive never seen ugkg2 before, this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16085735 explains a little about it
---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
im not sure how other people would do it, but personally id use odin v1.85 to flash xxki3, found here http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html
i would then use the cf-root for that version made by chainfire found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=732531&d=1317117018
this will root and put clockworkmodrecovery on it, once youve done these steps you can download any custom rom zip file, place it in the root of the sd card and flash
---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
i've been using a rom from androidmeda and haven't had any issues i think its the best one i've used, but are all down to user preference, are you familiar with flashing a rom with odin?
No im not this is a brand new phone and am just trying to learn the ropes. i happen to follow some instructions i found onlne it seemed to root my phone fine but now i cant fet in to clockwork recovery. so u say unroot my phone and re root it with the instructions u posted?

Do you have an update package on the root of your SD card. It's being auto detected which is why that's popping up.

Hello everyone:
I am having some issue trying to install a custom rom (VillanRom 3.0) on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I am a beginner so I apologize in advance if what I am asking seemes a bit noobish.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 is already rooted I believe running Gingerbread 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXK17
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
I booted into Rom Manager and did Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. And then I chose Samsung GalaxyS2.
I have already put the custom rom onto the SD card. I tried booting into the Android system recovery <3e>, I wiped factory setting and cache, and after that there is no option to 'install zip from SD card'. So I attempted to enter the option "apply update from sdcard" and I get this error:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Am I missing something here? Please any help would be appreciated I'm not very good at the technical stuff. Thank you so much.
Sorry to bump this. I'm desperate. Any help please would be extremely appreciated!! x

Are you sure your phone is rooted and the fw is k17?
Anyway follow this thread to root your phone and then flash the custom rom you want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Hello siberian tiger:
Thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate it.
I'm pretty sure my phone is rooted because it has a triangle everytime I start up my phone. How do I know if my fw is k17?
Is there different types of root? If my phone is currently rooted can I just follow the procedure in that thread you linked and just overide my current root without unrooting my phone?
Thanks
I believe I know where it went wrong. Most kernels do not support rom manager. If you are a beginner you probably used the cf-root method. So read the cf-root thread again you'll see that rom manager is not supported.
Now that you don't see the install zip from sdcard option that means you don't have clockwork recovery installed anymore. Download the CWM app (in the cf-root thread) and the cf-root kernel in tar format. Use the flash kernel option to flash the tar file. Then you'll get clock work recovery back.
If this doesn't work, the for-sure-will-work option is to use odin to reflash the cf-root kernel.
