[Q] CWM Recovery install error - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was rooted my SGS i9000(XXJVS) with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and successfully rooted my phone, but superuser did not been installed, so I installed from Android Market. Then I downloaded ROM manager, and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". It has been downloaded, allowed superuser permissions, and ROM Manager wrote that it has been downloaded.
But if I reboot into recovery mode, I get a message that writes:
Verifying update package... (meanwhile a bar fills up to about 15%)
E:failed to verify whole-filesignature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And I got a normal recovery mode.
What should I do to install CWM? I only clicked "Root" button in SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and I didn't do any wipe data.

Hey..
You should not root youre phone with apps like superoneclock or else
please use a custom rom or kernel
you will find it in the xda for sure just search for root I9001
Further more be carefull with the clockworkmod it may brick your phone
try to install the cyanogenmod i think it includes root and the cwm
Stay well

Do you have the update.zip on the root of your internal sd card?
i rooted it using oneclickroot and then downloaded rom manager. i pressed flash clockworkmod and tried booting into recovery but its just stock 3e recovery
You might need the modified 3e thays posted on the dev section. Should.be on the front page

[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.

[SOLVED] Rom Manager not working on rooted XW_NEE_KI4

Hi there..
I have a problem with flashing custom ROM's.
What did I do?
1. I flashed the custom ROM "GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI1" with Odin.
2. I got it rooted in Odin with "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4"
3. I downloaded Rom Manager v4.7.0.5
4. In Rom Manager I did: Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and my current Recovery is: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
5. When I press: "Reboot into Recovery" into Rom Manager it prompts if I want to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery, but when I press "ok" I end up seeing the "Android system recovery <3e>" instead of the ClockworkMod version
6. It also shows me:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
..this while I don't have any update.zip or other ROM file on my S2 yet.
Also I find an application on my phone named: CWM Manager v2.0, with this program I can get into ClockworkMod Recovery but I'm not able to flash any ROMS. For example.. trying to flash CyanogenMod 7+ results in a bootloop.
When I use CWM Manager v2.0 to get into ClockWorkMod Recovery, and I choose "wipe data/factory reset", it wipes the data but also ClockWorkMod Recovery itself, because after it's completed I end up looking at the default "Android system recovery <3e>" again.
Anyone any idea what's going wrong here?
And yes;
- I do have root access
- CMW has super user access
- Rom Manager has super user access
ROM manager is not compatible with CF ROOT recovery!!
CF Root's cwm is a modified cwm and not from the original author (who is also the author of rom manager) Kaushik Dutta.
CWM manager is developed because of incompatibilities between cf root recovery and rom manager.
So if you want to use ROM manager to boot into cwm and do backups and restores and stuff, flash any other kernel with cwm.
Codeworkx kernel for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
or Ninphetamine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179814
or Siyah (my favorite/most popular kernel for GS2 at present)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18846398
You won't lose root flashing any of this kernel !

[Q] CWM Recovery Error

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 .

Q: SG S2 rooted and want to instal CWM

I have SG S2 rooted with SuperoneClick some while ago, and want to install a custom rom, but dont have ClockWork Recovery, trying to install it with Rom Manager but have an error,
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
* E: failed to verify whole-file signature
* E: signature verification faile
Installation aborted
can i install it via odin with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
??
do i have a chance to brick it????
do i have to WIPE data an chache before to install CWM via Odin???
If you had atleset spent 10 minuts on XDA before attemting the root process you could have avoided this headache now???
the link is too old....dont know outdated or not
forget everything now read CF-root in my signature and follow
rom manager dont work on SGSII
i doubt you dont have cwm as superoneclick does flashes that.
still you can have that as the post above said already.
then if my SGS2 is rootet with SuperOneClick y still can root again with CF-root without problems???? so i can have CWM recovery? and istall custom roms?
yes you can flash cf-root, but make it same ver of the rom you are running, and if you can wipe, do wipe after to eleminate any errors left.
my version is: 2.6.35.7-I9100UHGK7-CL417654
so i downloaded "CF-Root-SGS2_UH_MUL_KG7-v4.1-CWM4"
I'm from chile, and thinking of installing this rom:
[ROM][ICS][18/04][PRE.AOKP.B33]HyDrOG3N-ICS 18.04[1080P][SNACK&BEER.ED'][DASWAGG]
its ok? will it work?
after you will install cf root ,your phone will have a cwm (you can boot to it with 3 key combination) and install the kernel rom whatever you want
reflashed my phon with CF-Root and now have CWM Recovery
now to try new roms.
first will make and backup of my device....
witch rom ICS do you recomend for a noob.
how is HYDROGEN???
