Hello ... I ask you a little help on ROM Manager and Recovery.
I just root the galaxy S2 with the procedure supercurio, so my ROM is pretty much stock ... I was a XWKDD.
ROM Manager (in his opinion) regularly install ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2, but when I restart in recovery and launch the update.zip I get the following error message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Googling a little I found how to sign files.zip, moddied 3e recovery and also to ignore the signs in zip files ... but none of these workarounds work ...
So how I can use this 3e recovery with unsigned files?
Or ... how can I replace the 3e with the 2e recovery? (There ROM with the 2e which do not differ much from the stock ROM?)

Help needed aswell
EDIT: I do not like the CWM4 as the recovery deletes it's self after about a day for some reason, then i have to reflash.
I am using the Stock XWKF4 rom (rooted) with superuser and busybox and i also can't use ROM to install clockwork mod recovery.
I get the same error as the guy above me.....Help
Please, Thanks,
Andrew.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Having this problem too.
In ROM Manager, I flashed the latest CWM, then reboot into recovery.
It reboots to Android system recovery (3e).
Any idea how I can get recovery working. Do I need to flash a different kernel?
I actually JUST dealt with this issue myself. I had the same kernel as you.
You need to flash a new stock ROM in odin, I used KG6. I just used the stock kernel, not the whole package.
The stock ROMs can be found here :

Then when this is done, you use odin to flash a CF Root for that kernal following these instructions:

I am also having issues. I have an SGS2 with 2.3.3..
I have rooted the phone and am trying to install Cyanogenmod7 (nightly build #22) to my phone.
I have downloaded ROM Manager, Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery (4.0.1.5) and have tried to 'Install ROM from SD Card', then selected the cyanogenmod. However, its coming up with the following message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I have tried to download 3e without signature verification "3e_recovery_no_sig_check" but this has not worked. I am a bit of a noob at this so appreciate any lamens terms help anyone can provide!!
Hey guys. I tried the KG6 and CF kernel, and the lulz kernal. Both are giving me t 3e error on CWM. What else can I do?
cant flash roms
Hey guys,
I too am having this problem. I have completely lost the ability to flash roms from cwm. It says "Installing update" when its a new rom and it flashes it in less that 3 seconds and then it gets stuck at the boot. If I use rom manager it just says "E: signature verification failed on the whole file". I have tried the following:
-restoring stock rom (KE2) and then using cf-root which installs 4.0 and cwm 4.0.0.2
-formatting sdcard
It's really bad, I am dwelling on just one nandroid backup of Cognition and I can't even update it!
Thanks for your help
You cannot use 3e to install custom roms. 3e (blue color) is the default samsung recovery. When you try to flash custom rom with 3e, it will fail verification.
You need to use Clockwork Recovery (orange color).
Try installing Speedmod Kernel instead of using CF-Root kernel and see what happens.
Mate that totally fixed it thanks so much for the help! Now I can get back to flashing stuff!!

Problem to flash CWM
Hi,
Here are the steps that got me into this situation:
1. My provider installed a test version on my Galaxy S2 in order to resolve some problems.
2. After the above I rooted my device using ODIN 1.85 and SuperOneClick 2.1.1 using XWKDD kernel.
The versions of my phone now are:
Model Number GT-I9100T
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9100TJIKI1
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected]#2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.JIKI2
My intention is to flash CWM in order to install Cyanogenmod ROM. When I tried to flash the CWM using ROM Manager it failed. From what I read it is because I have 3e recovery.
I saw some suggestions for resolution, like flashing a stock kernel and than flash CWM again to avoid the invalid signature problem.
However, I couldn't find any kernel that fits my device situation.
Any suggestions for a route I can take to resolve the situation?
a route that will leave my device functioning
Thanks, Nissim
You should try and install a custom kernel which also flashes clockwork mod recovery on your phine like speedmod, ninphetamine or hellcat's kernel.

Thank you for the advise.
Unfortunately digging into the above kernels you suggested, I couldn't find that any of them fits my situation (Build:GINGERBREAD.JIKI2 and kernel:XWKDD).
I saw clear warnings not to select the wrong kernel.
Look for cfroot kernel. It is almost stock. Just rooted. I think i saw ki2 over there.

which link? many link, i duno which 1 need to select, we re in the same problem, help...
I updated to KP8 and have found it usable, however I fancied trying some MIUI. Unfortunately I am unable to flash anything with ClockWork Recovery. I initially tried and the update went through fine but the device said something about 'forced upload' after trying to boot. I tried flashing standard Clockwork Recovery via Odin and flashing the ROM again and it just stuck at the boot screen. I have tried a full reflash with MODEM, PDA and Phone with the KP8, KL3 and KL1 firmware. I am able to boot into stock firmware and it runs fine but as soon as I install a custom ROM zip via CWM I simply cannot boot. I have tried with both MIUI and DarkyROM HD zips. I have also tried flashing CWM with both the generic tar and the corresponding CFROOT file for each stock firmware and for each I get the same result. Sometimes it says 'forced upload' when I try and boot back into recovery and I have to flash the whole ROM (or CFROOT file) again to get a recovery back.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?
As we speak I am running stock, unrooted KL1 firmware with no problems. I will be able to install CWM and subsequently boot fine but I know as soon as install a ROM through the 'install zip rom sdcard' method in the recovery menu I will just get a boot loop.
Thanks in advance guys.

Hey everyone,
i've got an i9300 device with 4.1.1 (XXDLIH) on it
I wanted to installed a custom rom on it (Omega ROM v38)
First i flashed CWM via Odin like in the instructions, after that i downloaded the rom put it in the sd card and booted the phone into CWM, i did the wipe and factory reset and choosed the rom zip for installing
After about 10 minutes the phone rebooted, but it is still on stock rom, so i thought what could the problem be and remembered that i need to root the phone first.
Now i have the problem that i can't (don't know), i don't know which way i should use for rooting so that i can afterwards install the Omega Custom rom ....
Note that i have now the CWM 5.5 recovery and don't know how to get back to stock recovery ...
Please if someone could tell me exactly what should i do, how exactly to root it and install the rom :/
Thanks everyone in advance
If you think that it would be better to install another custom rom then feel free to tell me

Hi all
I have been trying to root my galaxy s2 GT 19100 so I can install a custom rom for a few days now but I keep getting this error message:
Using JB 4.1.2
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
I have tried doing this with odin 3.07 but for some reason the .zip files aren't showing up when trying to select the rom.
I have the roms in a folder on my desktop /s2 roms in zip format.
I always run odin as admin.
I am running Windows 8.1 and I have already checked folder options to showw all files.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

did you try to flash the rom in a custom recovery like CWM? if not do that. And redownload the custom rom maybe it was a download fault.
And one more thing, that file is not made to flash with odin but in recovery mode :highfive:
Did you have working custom recovery aka cwm before flash custom rom?
Which rom you are running on your phone? Is it Stock Rom?
If Stock rom you have install CWM.
On odin you only update Stock rom (Ex;4.1.2 Stock) thought a file (.tar).
You have looking for CWM 6.x.x .tar and then you can install through Odin.
After install, go to CWM by holding Power + Volume Up + Home and then install zip file
Hey everyone. I decided to revive my S2 but I ran into a problem and I can't solve it. I lost count of threads I read and I still don't have an answer. Can someone guide me step by step how to flash CWM and ROM to my SGS2 (i9100)?
At the moment I have stock ROM flashed using Odin since all my tries to flash latest CWM and ROM ended in a bootloop or I didn't even manage to flash anything. If I try to flash CWM through stock Android recovery, it says "Signature verification failed". I flashed Dorimanx kernel using Odin to get the recovery but then I couldn't flash ROM because it said "E: Can't mount sd card". I tried flashing Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have no idea what to do because everytime I think something new, I run into these 2 errors. It would be great to get some help.

Kernel not just recovery.
I think you need to read the thread before flashing away and possible bricking you're phone.
Rooting and installing cwm is basic stuff. Bricking is common place too.

Do you mean this http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/Stock (Download doesn't work) ? I can't find any other links there for the latest version.
I'm not really scared of bricking my phone since I won't use it without flashing it correctly anyway. I have flashed it few times successfully in the past but now I can;t do this and it's really annoying. I flashed my friend's phone without any problems but I can't do that for myself.
