[HELP] ClockworkMod & CM9 => Problem with signature check - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm a noob with CM9, after a lot of months reading posts (since august), i try to install it following the steps. I install the resurrection edition from Odin, gapps, and then i update it to the last nightly...
But i have a problem with CWM and CM9.
When i reboot into recovery to install some zip signed (as modems or gps patch), i can't install it, i have a signature error.
I try to install it with and without signature verification, but it's the same:
HTML:
toggle signature verification
Signature Check: Enabled
GPS_patch_CM9.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
========================
toggle signature verification
Signature Check: Disabled
GPS_patch_CM9.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/xxx/GPS_patch_CM9.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
I have ROM manager 5.0.0.6 that comes with CM9, but if i try reboot into recovery in rom manager, it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.15, and if i try to reboot into recovery using the CM9 option (hold button->reboot->recovery), it runs CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
The md5sum of the signed zips files are ok.
Someone can help me?
Thansk
P.S.: Sorry for my english

might be a problem with the current build you are using, update to the latest build it will be solved.

Hi,
i think so, but it's strange, because i only flash my phone with the resurrection (includes a full flash) and a nigthly (and this nightly is ok).
I'll re-flash with the latest resurrection edition of CM9, and i hope it'll be solved, because i don't know what can i do...

Hi,I try now to reinstall the resurrection CM9, and i put now the zip files in the internal SD.
All ok.
Maybe the problem was install zip files from internal memory?
Regards

[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.

ROM manager failing to backup current rom?

I am running stock ROM, however if I try to backup it up, It goes in recovery and say:
Installing packages...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I am running the latest version, from the market.
Thanks
if youre rooted, you should have CWM in your app. Do a nandroid backup with that, not rom manager.
I rooted manually, not with CF-root.
You need a cf-root kernel to do a backup since it gets rid of the verification check.
Thanks guys

I am having the same issue. I am rooted factory froyo 2.2. How to do a nandroid backup with CWM? Where do I find this CWM?
Thanks, NEWB
IMPORTANT:
If you flash a cf root kernel you will get CWM to use manually or via the CWM manager app (chainfire's app) BUT you wont be able to use ROM Manager.
To use ROM manager you will have to flash a kernel with an unmodified version o CWM (cf root gives a custom CWM). THat kernel would be this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
Then you will be able to use ROM manager.
Now I'm confused. What is the best way to root a SGS2?
Any one?

Flash a cf-root kernel.

[Q] Problem with CWM 4.0.0.2

Hi there,
recently got my S2 and was looking to put the Cyanogen mod on it. I found the thread to install it but when I get to "step 2, reboot your phone to get into recovery"
I get the text
ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to veriy whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any ideas whats wrong? I googled it and found...
The famous ROM Manager that is usually used to install ClockworkMod Recovery tool is not compatible with the updated Galaxy S due to new kernel Recovery 3e that needs signature verification for flashing external files.
The solution is to replace the kernel based on Recovery 2e that permits installing unverified signature files. Thanks to developer of XDA ‘Chainfire’ who has come up with working tools that lets you install ClockworkMod Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 running the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread (XXJVK) ROM.
Link to this example is: http://www.dkszone.net/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-running-android-2.3.3-gingerbread-xxjvk
Anyone know if this is the ONLY way to install CWM properly or is there another fix?
Signature related error appears when you haven't flashed the zImage of your rooted kernel via CWM. Flash it and it will disappear.
Regards.
how would I accomplish this? I flashed my ROM at the moment by using Odin tools
Your rom lite-ning rom 6.1 should have the proper cwm built in, sounds almost impossible that you're getting this error. Are you booting into cwm through rom manager? Or with Vol up+home+power?
I was trying both methods to get into CWM and got these errors everytime.

CM Updater and CWM issues

Hello,
I have already asked this in the CM10 SGS3 discussion but could not get any help there, so I assumed this will get more attention.
Recently, I tried updating CM10 using CM Updater but CWM failed to update, complaining about signature verification of the update package. The full error was: E:signature verification failed.
Has anyone encountered this error before? If so, how can I fix this? And also - could have been any harm done due to failing signature verification on CWM?
Thanks!

Not on CM, so, never encountered this error before but...does this happen every time you try and update?

Are you sure you have CWM installed? A signature verification error in this case could result in of two possible things: either you have incompatible recovery (i.e. stock) installed or it is a bad/corrupted download. No harm was done, since failing to verify signature just does not let the zip to install.
@Oomahey, I tried this just once since I was not sure about the exact outcome of this.
@hsrars-d, Yes, I have CWM v5.4, I am not making any confusions, it says that right in the title on recovery
I'll try updating this one more time and get back to you.
Thank you for your time!
I had this yesterday on a note 2 and realised it didn't have cwm recovery installed. When I installed that worked perfectly

Have not tried it yet but is it possible that my CWM version is old enough not to be compatible? It is version v5.4 (dot something-something)
Also, could CM Updater be using a different software on recovery even though when booting into recovery it explicitly says "Clockworkmod"? It does not make much sense to me.
Sorry for double-posting but I had to update that I have tried flashing it again, with the nightly build of 23/11 and it failed again. (after toggling signature verification on "apply new update" and using CM Updater again to update firmware)
Any suggestions?
Well, i have CWM Touch as my recovery, u could try to flash that and then update

Install Rom Manager from market than install latest Clockworkmod recovery for i9300 and that should work , you have an wold recovery
The CM Updater has never work for me, ever.
I'm running the latest version of CWM (v6.0.1.2) and when I try to update via CM Updater I get the following:
Code:
-- Installing package…Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Verifying update package…
e:failed to open /sdcard/cmupdater/cm-10-20121124-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I can also say that if I manually go to "install zip from sdcard" and then select to access the internal sdcard I get the same error
Code:
e:can't mount /sdcard/
Browsing the external sdcard is no problem, only the internal.
I should also mention that my phone is encrypted, if that is the reason to why I can't access the internal sdcard in CWM, I don't know.
The encryption is the problem.

Is upgrading CWM different from replacing it with the stock recovery? Since, as I previously mentioned, I already have CWM installed and am just interested in upgrading it.
I am bumping this since it is still relevant. I am about to upgrade CWM and was thinking of doing this with ROM Manager (rather than heimdall/ODIN). Is it possible doing this from ROM Manager? Is it also more reliable than heimdall/ODIN in the context of bricking your phone?

In ClockworkMode,in the install zip from sdcard section there is an option named:toggle signature verification..You can try that..I don't know if your version of cwm supports this option though..I use ClockworkMode 6.0.1.2 and it's there..
No, i don't have this option... :[
