Hey, does your phone boot up in cwm ? If not then your not rooted, please verify. You need cwm recovery to install a custom rom.

Hi hassanalsaibai,
Yes it does boot into CWM recovery and i can select the custom rom to intall but as soon as it starts to install is says E:signature verification failed but the blue installation line near the bottom continues to install. It will then stop and nothing else will happen i will leave it for abit longer and see if it continues to install.

Try wiping cache, and dalvik cache -- and check if the ROM description has NO WIPE . If it doesn't have a no wipe feature then you will have to wipe your device.

Bad firmware download redownload .
Nothing at all to do with wiping and their is no you have to wipe your device involved .

[Q] Update package error in ROM Manager

Hello all, new user here.
I am trying to install a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy SII and am really stuck.
I have rooted the phone, installed ROM Manager and flashed Clockwork MOD Recovery, but when I try to backup my current ROM I see this:
- Initializing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have options to:
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I am dying to install my new ROM :-(
Any help/advise you can give me will be much appreciated.

You don't have CWM recovery, that's stock recovery.

what's the difference? I thought having cwm installed would automatically work just like any other app..
I'm rooted, using a stock ROM (I'd change it if I got cwm to work), firmware KI8.

For what its worth.. I tried restoring a backup using RM and ended up in "android system recovery" instead of CWM, and also got installation aborted. After a reboot I ended up in CWM and the restore finished. Strange stuff..

The question for post one is as always .
Does the instructions for the custom rom install say install via Rom Manager .
No idea what the rom is so cannot check .
Most of them say root kernel with Chainfires CWM and root Kernel and flash rom via CWM .

You need to flash a kernel that has CWM. This is usually done via Odin or Heimdall. Once you get CWM recovery on your phone you'll be set to flash zip files for ROMs and whatnot.
If you don't know how to flash the kernel.. start at the beginning and read a helpful guide or instructions. Sorry on my phone now and don't have any links handy..

FIRST PAGE SAYS .
If you install for the first time SensatioN ROM, I recommend you to use the WIPE version. The NO WIPE version should be used if you are already on SensatioN ROM or on other fully deodexed ROM.
Before you install SensatioN ROM, make sure that you have CF-ROOT kernel installed on your phone, or ninphetamine.
Steps to install CF-ROOT kernel:
1.Download the kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1312203859
2.Power off phone, and enter in DOWNLOAD MODE
3.Put the downloaded zip into PDA section of ODIN, and flash it
4.Let the phone reboot
Steps to install the ROM:
1.Copy the ROM file on your SD card
2.Reboot you Phone into CWM
3.Navigate to Install Zip from SD Card
4.Select Choose ZIP from SD Card
5.Select SensatioN_ROM_by_CRYSIS_i9100_(no)wipe.zip
6.Wait until the ROM is installed and reboot your Phone.
7.If you have any bootloops with the NO WIPE version, you will probably need WIPE .
No mention of ROM MANAGER here maybe you have other instructions or its the usual ??

@ OP
Have you tried "Toggle signature verfication check" in CWM?

Can't backup ROM with CWM

The backup option isn't available when I boot into CWM Recovery mode. I also happen to get the error message:
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
I'm booting into recovery mode from the CWM app. I've searched everywhere...lots of questions but no solutions.
This is a common problem that happens if you try to install CWM from ROM Manager. If this is the case, please read up on how to install CWM in the General Section.
If not, please include Kernel / ROM you are running.
Just install a different kernel. Reboot into recovery again. Profit.

Do you have a custom recovery such as clockworkmod recovery or TWRP installed? If not the only way to whipe dalvik cache is to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. Before you install a custom ROM you should install a custom recovery.

No problem man glad to help, but yes "recovery" is for recovering something when something with your ROM goes wrong, but it can also be used for basic maintenance functions such as reformatting things, as well as flashing certain scripts, kernels, mods etc.

You installed CWM (Clockworkmod Recovery correct?) if you did go under "install zip from sdcard", then "toggle signature verification" and it make sure it says signature check: disabled this should allow you to flash the ROM.

Try running the fix permission utility in ROM manager, see if that solves your problem. You should also be able to use CWM recovery to fix permissions as well.

I really tried but I cant flash a ROM for my ACE "i"

Hello everbody,
I tried many times but it doesnt work!
Here's the steps Im doing:
- Flash my phone with ODIN, everything works.
- I check in the apps if Im superuser: i am
- I enter the recovery mode and enter the CWM
- I do all the wipe
- I install the rom from SD
- install successfull
-I push back and reboot the system
now the problem comes out.
The cell its like freezing on the "Samsung Galaxy Ace GT..." screen, I tried to wait up untill 1 hour, but nothing happen.
note: if I try to shut it down with the power button, it turns on again, but freezes everytime on the same screen
note2: if I try the button.combo to get in the Recovery mode, it doesnt function
What I do next?
I enter the "Download mode" and re-flash the phone with ODIN
Flash stock first. When wiping dont wipe system. Some roms dont like wiping system.

Link to the rom, you are trying to flash?
If you are on stock rom you'll be on stock recovery (RED one!)
You have to install ClockWorkMod Recovery from stock recovery and flash desired rom from there...

Try to change kernel. Use stock one in ace i sure and flash. If it doesnt work after flashing the rom you want, try rafaels or hell locks kernel.
Even than nothing works flash stock. Use iamareebjamals boot extractor script. Flash custom rom as usual. Use the extracted boot image to recover stock boot. And if this works root your phone. It shoul be ok than.
Good Luck...

stuck in bootloop

I wanted to update the OS of my i5500. I first tried the method here but the phone got stuck in bootloop. Then, I attempted to install the version here. Still bootloop. Can you guys help me? I can't use my phone anymore.
Flash the recovery (CWM) again and format /system , /data and /cache . Then flash the packages mentioned in the second link (which is better than the first, if you ask me).

I did not understand how to use recovery-clockworkmod-6.0.5.2 so I tried installing with ClockworkMod-Galaxy5-v0.7 . Most likely that is why it failed.
What am I supposed to do with recovery-clockworkmod-6.0.5.2 file? It's not in .tar format so Odin does not accept it. The page is not in English and I did not understand.

It's flashable. Flash it in recovery. Then reboot into recovery (so that the new recovery gets loaded).
Also, you have to flash it in order to able to use the ROM.
