Hey folks,
I've searched the forums, I've been doin this for about 3 hours now, I dislike the standard ATT rom. This is my first Samsung phone I never really had any issue with flashing HTC phones.
1) I have rooted my phone with SUPERUSER
2) I'm not using ROMMANAGER since i've read that this is buggy
3) I have cm-10-20121027-NIGHTLY-quincyatt (CYNOGEN) and Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC5-quincyatt-1020 installed on a SD card
4) I tried to actually hold down the volume UP and DOWN button and power button then boot up to manually flash the roms
no luck at all i keep gettin this "e verification failed" type of message.
If anybody would like to assist that would be greatly appreciated. I'm still going to keep researching while somebody can assist.
Update : I now try using ROMMANAGER, directs me to the bootloader but then says "waiting for SD card to mount" Can't get past this.
any ideas?
Did you install a recovery like CWM or TWRP?
That's prolly the problem. i have the old CWM. I did download the .img for the samsung note which is at this site :
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
version : 5.8.4.8
I did also install ROMMANAGER now and more famliar with it.
HERES THE THING : how do i install the CWM .img file to make it work with my phone?
if you can assist, i'll greatly appreciate it.
At the bottom of ROM manager is an option to update CWM

Hello all I am new to this whole rooting process... I am not afraid to admit it as we all were once new at what we are doing at some point. I need help creating a nandroid back up on my atrix. O have successfully unlocked the boot loader and rooted my phone. I performed a backup using cwm through the boot screen and then I proceeded to wipe all my data and install a new rom when to my surprise it got stuck on the boot load screen for 30minites before I pulled the battery and tried restoring to my backup that I made with cwm.. it appears that the backup only successfully installed the boatload.img file and none of the other. Img files therefore once rebooted my phone would stay stuck at the boatload screen... I finally wiped everything and found a gingerbread 2.3.4 version 4.5 beta and copied it to my external sd card and installed it through cwm choosing the zip file to install and rebooting. Now I am back up and running but I do obviously not know how to make a nandroid backup so if I decide to tinker around with my phone again I will not have the same problem as before. Any help would be greatly appreciated... I am sorry this is so long bit if someone helps me I would rather they know the whole story then just portions of it. Thanks everyone who reads this and replies!!!

Thanks I will look into that! Thanks for your response.

Looked into rom racer's forum page still confused
Hello again, I have looked into the forum for "romracer" and there is still quite a bit of confusion on my side (noob). I am already nervous about flashing things to my phone since my last stuck in boot loading screen. My current version of cwm is whatever came with option number 2 on the automatic unlock file that unlocked my bootloader and also provided root access. I believe it is called "Tenfar CWM". I want to be able to make a successful nandroid backup and I am understanding that I need to flash the latest version of CWM for atrix. I am confused about how I go about flashing that onto my phone safely. I am sorry I am such a noob, but I want to understand how to get the latest version of CWM for atrix onto my phone... There are so many links to different things on the developer for CWM forum page that my mind is spinning out of control. Any help on where to download all the necessary files to perform this flash and how to flash my phone with the latest version of CWM for atrix 4G would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for being understanding and helping me through this process that seems overwhelming for a noob like me.

1) Go to /system/etc. and delete "install-recovery.sh". This can be done with Root Explorer, available from the market. If it's not there, then don't worry about it.
2) Download which every color of Rom Racer's CWM you want to your pc (same folder as fastboot files).
3) Boot into fastboot mode and enter fastboot mode.
4) Connect phone to pc, and open command prompt from fastboot folder (shift + right click -> open command window here).
5) Enter fastboot commands from Rom Racer's OP.
6) Enter "fastboot reboot" to reboot phone.
7) Boot into recovery and make sure it worked
*If you still see Tenfar's recovery app on your phone, delete it like you do any other app.
OR
1) Delete Tenfar's Recovery app.
2) Go to /system/etc. and delete "install-recovery.sh". This can be done with Root Explorer, available from the market. If it's not there, then don't worry about it.
3) Download ROM Manager from the market (free)
4) Install the CWM Recovery for the Atrix via the ROM Manager App.
5) Use this CWM Recovery
or proceed to install ROM Racer's CWM Recovery...
6) Download ROM Racer's CWM and put it on your internal SD card (/sd-card).
7) Open ROM Manger App
8) Select install ROM from .zip (or something like that - one of the main options).
9) Select the .zip you put there, an uncheck the options (no need to wipe anything).
10) Phone will reboot, install the .zip, and reboot again.
11) Should have ROM Racer's version on the phone now, and be able to enter recovery via the ROM Manager App.
Thank you so much... I will try that once I have some time to dedicate strictly to this...

Hallo all'
I have just bought A samsung galaxy s2. Its about 2 weeks old now. So I have recently decided to root it but I think It got wrong. It says its rooted because I can use rom manager and superuser. The problem is I just downloaded a rom and every time I get in to recovery mode iam getting the error: so when I go into recovery mode at the android screen with the triangle and exclemation mark I get the error:
Finding package:
Updating
E failed to verify whole file signature
E (another error cant remeber)
Then it goes into recovery mode but I only have.4 options
Reboot
Wipe system
Update system (when I choose update.zip doesnt work)
Wipe cache

you need to download flash an insecure kernel in order to get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Flash the zImage of your root kernel. You will get it by extracting the .tar root file. Copy it to your SD card and flash via CWM with the option Flash Kernel.
Sadly that should not work as at this point he is still running e3 recovery.

Had the same problem, here is the solution I used; seems to have fixed it for me:

(Sorry for fudged address, cant post links yet since I'm a new user)
Another problem
Solution of brainedbysaucepans worked, but iam having another BIG problem now. So I have installed CWM and went in to CWM with Volume up+Home+Power buttons, from there i choose for install from zip and i have installed the newest
MIUI rom. Restarted. Screen doesnt get passed the ''Samsung galaxy s2'' screen with the triangle and exclemation mark. So I went back to CWM and wiped all data. Still cant get past 1st screen. Telephone is un-usuable. A brick is more usefull then my telephone atm :<. Please help. URGENT.
Without knowing what you have done wrong my suggestion would be to wipe the phone install a stock rom and start reading the faqs and guides .
Full wipe boot to recovery .
mounts and storage format data cache system sd card .
put phone to download mode and flash a stock rom .

Thank you! I know you are wise in saying this, as Recovery 3e requires signature verification for flashing external files. Tried pointing stock Recovery to .zip files on sd card (so as to toggle signature verification off), but it doesn't display those files for some reason. How do I get an alternate Recovery that will work with CWR, so that when I flash it will unpack, or how do I otherwise bypass this requirement? Samsung Galaxy SII, Sprint, rooted, but last 5 hours pretty hung up on getting full Recovery going. Obviously a bit of a noob, but would be wicked happy to get a workaround here so I can start flashing ROMs and such.

bs, cannot find it. BUKI1 2.3.5 (gingerbread.BUKJ3) no work at all
signature not verified
trying to use bloatkill.zip on my Huawei h866c. After placing .zip folder on sd card and updating with recovery, I get signature verification failed message. Is there a work around. My phone is not rooted and cannot be rooted because of the addition of SuameKinUser.apk to my system files. I would like to remove it so I can traditionally root this device.
Thanks for the help.
I'm having the same sort of problem at the moment, did you ever resolve this?
My phone was locked to the 3 network when I got it, I rooted the phone and got it to the current set up as below;
Samsung gt-i9100
android version - 2.3.5
baseband version - I9100NEKI2
kernel version - [email protected] #2
build number - GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I have SuperSU installed
I have recently tried to update using Cyanogenmod and Revolt files/guides here on XDA, the latest file being revolt_i9100-ALPHA-20131011.zip however i get the same message on install of;
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Can anyone please point out what is going wrong or direct me to another guide that would be best suited to upgrading from my current setup?
Hi.
For not that many days ago I rooted my SGS II. I did it with this easy hack, that some people had found out. Just plugged in my phone to my computer and doubleclicked on a batch file - that was it. It installed Super User and rooted the phone.
But it did not flash CWM, so I just have the stock Samsung recovery.
I downloaded Rom Manager from Market and pressed the "Flash CWM" button. It then downloaded the newest 4.0.1.5 CWM but when I try to reboot into recovery it is still just the Samsung one.
Though I got a new file, update.zip - guess that it is Rom Manager that have downloaded CWM into that file.
Should I just from Samsung recovery "apply update" - and choose the update.zip to get CWM recovery working?
No need to fiddle around with this Odin stuff, cause my phone is rooted right?
Best regards
Just tried to "apply update from sdcard" from the stock recovery.
Chose the update.zip and it showed on the display:
Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
- everything still works though.
Some friendly one, please tell me how to flash CWM in my situation?
Best regards
BTW, this was how I rooted the SGS II:
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-pre...oot-samsung-prevail-replenish-shabbyfied.html
- very easy
Could a mod please move this topic over to the General forum of SGS II?
Best regards
Hey, just check about 5 threads down. I just helped another user sort this issue using Odin. The thread is titled 'cwm will not install - 3e running'.

Hi guys, I've tried pretty much every ones method and files for getting CWM custom recovery on my VZW 10.1 original Tab. But each time when I go back into recovery it's still the basic android recovery. I also get signature errors when I try to update anything from SD card. I have even Odin'd back to GB and updated to ICS again and it still persists. Anyone know a way to get around the signature error. Or a way to get a custom recovery image to take. Thanks

You can bypass error message by :
- flash last (or good) CWM
- remove lines in your rom zip installer (take a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946795)
For 10.1, download recovery 6.0.2.7 from DB (http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/)
Hi
I am running a Stock LSD 4.1.2 JB Rom on my I9100 and do not wish to Root my phone. Yes it was rooted once but I have a specific reason for not wanting to revert back to root.
On a few occasions over the past year I have wanted to flash an app via "Recovery Mode", a .zip file located on the phone's external SD card.
On trying to flash, the following is displayed in yellow: -
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have searched and searched this and other forums and although I can find many many instances when this has ocurred with other people I have not yet seen a generic solution to this problem.
It must ocurr because of a certain situation being prevelant within my phone and the references to it on forums usually suggest they are because someone is messing with a Custom Rom and/or a Rooted Kernal etc etc.
Could someone please tell what is happening, why this is the case and what can be done to sort it please.
I would say that my phone is just over 18 months old, never has had a problem, has been flashed with "Stock Roms" quite a few times and all without wiping or restoring to the factory settings. I do not want to wipe it to sort this problem out and am hoping an easy fix is available.
Hope someone can help
ps - I am trying to install the 4.2 Camera via the patched.zip and have tried to install the "Temporary" Clockwork Recovery" app with exactly the same problem. I stress I do not want to Root.
Anyone please?

u have to first flash the 'Temporary CWM recovery .zip' then select 'reboot to recovery' option in stock recovery to enter 'temporary cwm recovery' there u select the 'Camera zip file' to flash.
PS- after flashing 'Temporary CWM recovery.zip' do not reboot ur phone the normal way by doing so u will lose ur temporary recovery.
each time before flashing any zip file u have to flash 'temporary cwm.zip' file first.
Hi thanks but I know this.
Can we get back to my topic please? I would not have posted if I could flash the Temp CWM Recovery. zip file
I just need to know what causes the error I am getting and how I can irradicate it.

As the error indicates, it fails to verify the file's signature. You can't flash unsigned packages via stock recovery. The solution is exactly what was already mentioned to you:either root and install a custom kernel/recovery (you don't want it, that's fine), or use a temporary custom (non-stock) recovery. While I had problems with the stock recovery flashing unsigned zips (obviously), I never had an issue with flashing a temp recovery. Try redownloading and reinstalling it - it could be a corrupt file. Which recovery are you trying to use? I recommend the temp touch CWM by Phil (the dev of the PhilZ kernel; use link in his signature). Always works like a charm.

Nice one! Thank you
It must have been a duff file (temp touch CWM by Phil) as the one I just downloaded, installed without a problem. It was the very same program file but from a different source.
Just installed the 4.2 Camera too so now going to play
Thank you again
