I'm on the leaked 4.1.2 with stock kernel. I flashed the update.zip to get root which apparently worked as I get Superuser, Busybox, etc and if passes the root check app.
The problem is that when I boot into recovery <3e> and I get an error message in red at the bottom:
"E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip )invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation Aborted"
This appears even when I'm not trying to install anything, just booting into recovery. It's always there now.
This is stopping me from flashing new kernels (i.e. Philz). I also get a message on boot saying "Android is upgrading..." every time.
Anyone guess what's happening here?
Can anyone help me with this? I can't even flash a new kernel with PC Odin now. Something's wrong.
No-one got any suggestions? I'm not able to flash anything with either Odin, Mobile Odin or 3e and really want to get CWM working. Thanks.
Android upgrade is normal as it is trying to finish the installation. If you can get into recovery try doing a factory reset to get rid of the aborted installation other wise you may need the services of a jtag to repair it.
Thanks CB. Yes, I can get into 3e recovery. In all other aspects the phone is working properly. You think a factory wipe is the only way of getting rid of this 3e error?

Hello all,
Let me first start off by explaining my problem:
So I was rooted to begin with and was running superclean 2.92vooodoo with a oc kernel. For some reason my phone wouldnt start so I ended up resetting it to the original 2.1 eclair (Kill me!).
Ok, so I have superuser access, but can't get the right clockwork recovery in there to flash over a new rom. It says I am on rom manager 3.0 whatever, I try to install 2.5 or whatever the one that I had working and it says "Could not download, try later" The other problem is that my recovery is still blue (when I boot into recovery, instead of red.) When I try to install update.zip or anything that would help it. I get the response
"E: Failed to verify whole-file signature. E: Signature verification failed installation aborted."
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do not use Rom Manager for anything in here. You will need to flash CWM 2. through Odin.
Yup CWM ALL will do the trick through ODIN

Thank you so much guys, I was up till 4am trying to figure this out, i had that file downloaded and thought i was trying to flash it through odin but i think since rom manager was installed it was messing things up,
Thanks a lot for the help,

hey guys, i have tried the fix
"ok android recovery fixed for mr coleburns thanks!
Steps to fix the recovery if you try to enter recovery and get the green android guy instead of cwm.
1. root your phone
2. use root explorer to delete /etc/Install_recovery.sh
3. reflash your unlock sbf file and restart the steps from that portion of the guide"
for my bell atrix but still get the little green guy with triangle instead of cwm when i boot into recovery. when i look at the date of the /etc/Install_recovery.sh file its todays date so i believe it was recreated. one thing i did notice is when i ran IHOP_bell.sbf it says that phone is already unlocked.
thanks a million
same here, cant get the CMR working thou
dont know where i do wrong
i finally got the cwm recovery after wiping data. not sure if that did it then i installed cwm recovery again. now when i try to install ORFR234-system.img i get error install aborted.
what am i doing wrong?
this is the error i get when trying to load the rom from sd card:
--installing /sd/ORFR234-system.zip
finding update package....
opening update package...
installing update....
installation aborted.
please help.
SOLVED !! Never mind! I thought it was CWM Recovery updating, but it actually was Vz OTA update, which although I did not accept it, they have figured a way to force it to download and restart my phone.
I rooted my htc T-bolt a month or two ago and was able to install Clockworkmod ROM manager and Recovery programs. I have CWM Recovery v3.1.0.2, and it is trying to update to v4.0.1.5. I have not installed a new ROM, so I have the rooted stock.
I must have selected automatic update for Recovery, because in the middle of me using the phone, I get the message that the phone is turning off, then I see it reboot, and I see messages saying "finding update package..." and "opening update package..."
Eventually, the phone reboot/update hangs with the messages "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E:signature verification failed" and finally "Installation aborted."
At this point, I am presented with the CWM Recovery menu. One of the choices is to reboot; however, once my phone reboots and loads everything it notices that it wants to do this update, so it shuts down the phone an reboots, and we are back where we started.
So I know I should select a different menu item, but which one? From reading about the CWM Recovery program, I could choose "install zip from sdcard" and then choose "toggle signature verification." I am concerned that may get me out of my loop, but allow me to download bad software.
Do I have any alternatives to this Morton's fork?
ooohhh, my first post on xda!
Hi all, I tried rooting my MT4G with the gfree method, after I rebooted i saw that S=off so i went into HBoot and Rebooted, The screen goes berserk and ends up on Android Recovery, I figured I'd just apply the stock recovery, PD15IMG.zip i renamed it to update.zip but I get, E: signature verification failed Installation Aborted. :/ i tried a few files. Also can't open / cache/ recovery.
Update*
Figured out how to fix it incase anyone was having the same problem, you need a fake flash recovery image, however i cannot seem to find a download for it since Clockword Mod Recovery is now on the market, please if anyone know where I can download ClockWork Mod Recover as a zip file still post.
Got that same problem.
But when I'm trying this, it doesn't install successfully and says: "Signature verification failed, installation aborted."
Hey if your still on this, I just fixed it today!! Download PD15IMG.zip, put it on SD card - hold power and down then hit HBoot, let it run and BOOM! your done.
Hi!
I can't boot my device. When I try to turn it on always appears the following message: "custom binary blocked by frp". So I'm trying to flash a stock rom to recover my phone. But the problem is that I didn't install a custom recovery and Odin don't recognize my device plugged and in download mode. So I think that my last chance is to flash a stock rom from the stock recovery (the default recovery) but when I tried to do so I always found the same error: "E: footer is wrong E: signature verification failed". That error is caused because the rom I'm trying to installs maybe?
If anyone could help me I will preciate it so much,
Any help will be usefull,
Thanks
Sorry about that post
The problem is already solved (I flashed a stock rom using odin) I'm sorry about that post. I don't know how to erase it.
