Error message whilst flashing rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just rooted my sgs2, and tried to flash a rom using rom manager. When it gets to the boot loader screen I get an error message saying,
Failed to verify whole file signature.
And
Signature verification failed.
What am I doing wrong?
Can somebody please help?
Thanks.

Agree with last post unless instructions tell you to use rom manger then dont use it .
A clue as to what rom might have helped .
Questions = Q&A section .

Theres a way of turning the verification off let me boot into recovery and refresh my memory

Under install sd card you can toggle image verification. Turn this to off but check the md5 of the rom and make sure its not a corrupt download

I've tried cyanogenmod and miui.

Follow the instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
Note from the instructions: do not flash from ROM Manager when you're flashing CM7 the for the first time.

I kept getting the message "an error occurred while downloading....." i think and hope its a server issue. What i did was i copied the clockwork update.zip from my brother's vibrant and clicked reinstall packages in the stock recovery. was able to flash bionix v no problem.
I an having the same problem. Very frustrating. I am taking a break and calling it a development/server issue that will be fixed when I come back and try again.

Go to the general section and find Droidstyle's guide. It will give you exact steps on what you need to do.

Here is that link for you...

The simple answer is you need to replace your stock recovery with a modified 2e or 3e recovery that clockworkmod is compatible with.
Since you are on 2.1, I believe you will need the 2e, but it may be easier for you to Odin to froyo and use a 3e recovery instead.
heres a video on how to do it.
Just search around for the modded recovery. Any should do.
Thats not correct...you need cwm4 for mtd to flash ics.
Yeah i used your guide in the generals, Droidstyle. worked like a charm. makes me feel dumb that i had such a hard time
What droidstyle said. Odin cwm4 and enter it with three finger method immediately after you re-insert in your battery and flash away. ICS is very functional especially for alpha build and quite stunning visually.

You have to put the update.zip on the root of your internal sd, which means NO folder.

Update your twrp to the newest version I think it's 2.5.0.0 the easiest way is to use goomanager and select install recovery

PLEASE HELP ME! D:
You have a bad sdcard. Guaranteed. Read the error. Look at the pathway. The common denominator is 'external_sdcard'.
Move your ROMs to internal storage and try again.
