Yes I'm sure, and I was trying to do the d101 update, and this also shows up when I try and do a backup
If you havent already download Rom Manager and reflash CWM. Soemtimes people tell you to flash an older version then reflash the newest version.

Whenever I try to install an older version, I get a message saying "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" I've tried it on 3G and Wifi, and I can download other things just fine.
Do you have the update.zip for CWM still on your sdcard? If so reboot into recovery using the power and volume key, it should take you to the Samsung recovery, then go to apply update.zip.

I just get sent back to CWM and I get the same error. Would removing ROM Manager remove CWM?
In order to have a fully working rom manager, you have to flash the clockworkmod.tar kernal. I was having the exact same issues, I couldn't do a backup or restore. You will have to do odin on your phone.

Exactly.
You cannot install CWM without odin / redbend / etc. There are no shortcuts. Just downloading ROM Manager and hoping that you're special or lucky is not enough to make this work.
Follow the instructions.
I guess I had assumes he had already done that.
I am not able to flash Villain ROM 2.3 or anything else. The reason is that when it reboots into recovery mode, it starts with: -
_ Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any idea what's going on, I just recovered my SGS2 from almost being a brick!
Cheers!
It sounds like a corrupted file. Your download might not have completed or you are having hardware issues such as faulty ram.
Before updating a ROM, try to checking the MD5 checksum to see if they are correct if the chef provides it.
Go into your recovery and press the Choose zip to flash option, there you can select 'turn off signature verification, now you can happily flash.
Sorted!
Thanks God I got it sorted...thanks for the help of some guys in VillainROM thread.
Actually, what happened was that after flashing Chainfire's kernel, to get rid of the Yellow triangle, I was supposed to flash the Samsung stock kernel. That's what I did. BUT, after that you had to further extract the same CHAINFIRE's kernel, NOT the stock kernel to its zImage and had to put it on the root of the internal sd_card.
But, unfortunately, I being, careless extracted Samsung's stock kernel to its zImage and copied that to the sd_card. Now after flashing Samsung's stock kernel to remove the yellow triangle, it's important to flash the ChainFire's kernel's zImage so that it could again ROOT, install busy box and add CWM on the phone.
So, guys if you still having the same problem, remove the zImage you already have on your sd_card and replace it with the 1 from ChainFire's kernel and it will sort your problem and you will be able to see CWM again with FULL options.
Chillaxxxx!
hey i have copied the zimage to my sd card, but in android 3e recovery i cannot flash it .. i only see apply update zip option. but i cant select the zImage file please!!
In CWM, Flash kernel and select the zImage.zip, phone will reboot, done.

I have the same problem, does anyone has a solution for that. All I want to do is backup the ROM via ROM manager and I couldn't bypass the signature verification. I am also rooted via superoneclick and odin 1.85.
waiting for a response.
Thanks in advance.

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 .

Hi JJE,
I want to install SensatioN ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194765)
The kernal is installed using Odin, the ROM is installed using Rom Manager.

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?
Okay, so I've rooted my phone and installed Clockworkmod.
Before I even think about attempting to install a new ROM I thought I'd back up my existing rom.
I've dl'd clockwork mod yet when I try to create a backup i get...
--Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

I'm new to all this and I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. Hopefully someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance...

That text looks like what you get when you are trying to install a non-signed package and your signature verification is turned on. NOT when you are creating a backup.
Make sure you are choosing backup, not install zip file. If you get that text when choosing a backup, something is wrong with your version of CWM.
Where did you rebooted to Clockworkmode from ROMmanager??
try with Vol-up+Home+Power and select backup option from CWM menu

It is indeed when I try to use ROMmanager. Ihave Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5) I select "Backup Current ROM" and get the message I posted above.
If I turn the phone off and then try VolumeUp+Home+Power the screen only flashes once and thenjust stays on download mode screen...
strange!!! download mod comes with vol-down, not vol-up
OK, you just flash TAR version of CF-root for your matching kernel, or Siyah kernel from ODIN
and forget ROM manager....there is a compatibility issue for Rom manager and the CWM flashed from that with SGS2
feel free to ask if you dont understand
JUST FLASH STOCK TO GET BACK TO OLD ROM!! you can find all you need in my signature
Ah, Vol-Down... D'oH!
Ok tried that and now I still get the same as before...
Android system recovery <3e>
Enter: OK key. Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/Factory reset
wipe cache partition
--Installing package...

Do I need to install a custom kernel?
no problem, just flash Siyah or CF-root
you can get CWM working everything flowlessly
I will try that...
Thanks...
Hmm, when I flash the Siyah kernel (using Odin) the phone won't reboot...
I have to reboot in download mode and flash a original BUKG2 kernel to get the phone working again.
I have tried downloading insecure kernels but whenever I try to unzip them it asks for a password?
did you try CF-root

When flashing Siyah, did you flash version 3, or 2.6.14 or lower? Version 3 and up is for ICS only.

Hello.
I have seached this question TO DEATH, and still, no answer to my problem.
I have a Galaxy Player 4.2, rooted, and I used the "Rom Manager" app to flash recovery. If I go to recovery using the app, it boots into stock recovery, and says this:
"--Installing Package. . .
Finding update package. . .
Opening update package. . .
Verifying update package. . .
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation Aborted"
And when I do the 3 button combo, it just does stock recovery
Any help?
The best way to install a custom recovery on the GP4.2 is to flash the stock kernel with cwm made by zaclimon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198444
Stock recovery can't install a recovery itself (except on some devices). You must use odin to flash another kernel which includes CWM.
