Rooted De La Vega method (verified root, get # after su, other su required apps, get the grant access warning and they all work, etc)
Installed CWM via the loki method as noted on Cynanogen (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltevzw[/url])
Copied multiple rom's (cyanongen, eclipse, etc..). Reboot to CWM recovery, select install from external card. It gets to verifying the zip file and then says "failed to verify whole-file signature" and bails.
No clue what I'm doing wrong, I can find this error all over via google searches but all seems to be on another device and/or solved by re-downloading your zip.....
Anybody else had this problem? Hints anyone..... HELLLPPPPP :fingers-crossed:

I already answered this in the dev forum: you can't install CWM on anything later than MDK.
#$$#% thanks, I should have checked over there. Does this mean I have to use safe strap?

Yes. Just don't update to MJ7 as there's no root, no safestrap as far as I can tell.

Long time follower (since my G1), first time poster (I think )
My question is simple, is anyone working on or is there already an update.zip or similar one-click root for the official froyo.uvka6 that was released via Tmob/Kies?
I have searched and searched but most results take me to links for rooting 2.1 and upgrading to 2.2. but no root for the official 2.2.
Am I being impatient, have I not searched properly, has someone else already posted this question somewhere else?
Flame away, I don't care, but please answer my question or point me in the right direction if you can.
Thanks!
The old root update.zip file has worked for me on all releases including KA6

You need to toggle signature when you are in recovery before clicking update.zip. it happened to me also and that's all I did and it worked.

Could you please explain more. I no longer have CWM Recovery, just the stock 3e recovery, and am unable to locate any options to "toggle signature". Am I missing something there?
The STOCK 3e recovery from odin files DOES NOT ALLOW update.zip files, no matter what you do!
To get clockworkmod running, you either need one of the voodoo kernels (which you can only flash through odin/hiemdall, because if this recovery issue) or you need root (the onlyone that works with these releases is SuperOneClick) to mount system as rw and push a modded 3e recovery (this part is found in many roms right now).
The easiest is to flash a voodoo kernel using odin, then boot recovery and flash away.

Thanks for the SuperOneClick worked great.
Enable usb debugging.
Launch the app and follow any directions that appear. Was super easy.
Yes, if it's the same as Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root, you install the One Click Root, plug your phone in and you have two options "One Click Root" and "One Click Unroot".
Fairly straight foreward. I was surprised how easy it was when I rooted my phone lol
Hope this helps!

I was able to root as well using this method, however, once i am in I install clockwork recovery. Then I try to install a rom using rom manager and it only reboots into recovery 3e not clockwork. How can i make sure I get into clockwork to install from zip?

It won't work. I have tried maybe 50 times. It seems to be a problem with Recovery <3e>
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E:signature verifications failed"
"installation aborted"
It will not allow me to get into clockwork. This was the reason I used superoneclick (worked) instead of oneclickroot to root my phone however clockwork is my next problem.

i trying to root the phone different way and don't let, somebody help. please
Download the One click root
Unzip it
Open the executable. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode connected to your PC.
Let it do its magic.
I had a problem with the root when I used titanium backup. It kept telling me I wasn't rooted. When I opened titanium backup and it gave me the error message, I clicked on the "problems" button and allowed it to download busybox. VIOALA! I now have access to all my back ups and am rooted.

This is happening to me, too. Also, when I tried to boot to recovery using the volume key method, it went straight to the android with exclamation point screen, wouldn't even allow me to try to reinstall packages. Booting into recovery from Rom Manager works but I get these errors when I try to reinstall packages.
I also tried to run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager and get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" despite that I do have root access.
When I try to 'reinstall packages', I get this error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I looked all over the place and can't find anything to fix this problem. Someone help me please!

Are you trying to install bionix or already have it installed. Basically something is wrong with the update.zip on your sd-card.
In case you tried to rename something you downloaded from here to update.zip, do not do this. The update.zip that is created by Rom manager (or obtainted by a few less common methods) should be left alone. This is what the stock recovery loads in order for you to access the ClockworkMod Recovery. You must flash roms like bionix inside ClockworkMod Recovery by chosing to "install zip from sdcard" then navigating to the file.
Hope that helps.
Yeah, I have the update.zip file on my SDcard that has not been touched, and the ROM is on the bottom of update.zip. I'm trying to pass 'reinstall packages' in order to go into recovery mode.

I'm not sure what "on the bottom of update.zip" means. However to fix the issue of getting into recovery, simply load your existing rom and download (if you haven't already) Rom Manager from the market (the free version is fine). Then chose to install Clockworkmod recovery. Then go back into recovery and reinstall packages again (sometimes you have to reinstall packages twice before it works).
After speaking to a few people, they told me a solution to the signature problem. I downgraded from 3e to 2e and now it kind of works. Instead of getting the errors now, my phone simply reboots back in Recovery Mode instead of going into CWD(?) Mode.
Download rom manager and flash cw recovery again like the guy above said
Hi everybody,
I've got an error when trying to flash my legend, or even enter to the recovery.
Here you got my specifications, in order to give you an idea:
S-off
HBOOT-1.00.0000
RADIO 7.13.35.05
I have an OTA 2.2 update, from Vodafone
I've rooted the device with "unlock root" some weeks ago.
ROM MAnager 5.0.0.6 with successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery: 5.0.2.0
The problems:
When I try to boot into recovery (for example, when in ROM MAnager I try to backup my ROM, or install a ROM from SD card), I get this message:
" E:can't open cache/recovery/command "
Then appear 4 options (blue colour): reboot / apply sdcard: update.zip / wipe data factory reset / wipe cachee partition. The 2 wipes work OK, the reboot also, but when I select "apply sdcard: update.zip" I get next message:
" Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted. "
When I try to open bootloader, I get this message (it appears but disappears 1 second later):
" SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image
SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image "
I get also an error message in ROM Manager when I do "Fixing Permissions". First I got a Superuser window "SuperManager has been granted Superuser permissions" but then a ROM MAnager window "An error occured while attemting to run privileged commans!".
I've tryed uninstalling and reinstalling ROM Manager, Factory reset, everything, except Wipe Dalvic (not sure about what it does).
I'm not sure what's not working. Is it the recovery or ClockworkMod ?? Is the HBOOT-1.00.0000 the problem ? Is a disfunction of the SD Card (i've not tryed another card...).
Not sure if it could be associated to the same problem but now when I plug the phone to the PC the phone don't ask me if I want only charging mode or USB drive, even if I fix the behaviour (ask always or USB drive default). Not sure if it's related or not.
So, I'm a bit lost. Anyone has any idea ??
Hi, I only having s-on, I can't flash custom recovery, so have never seen how it really works, but what your describing is your stock recovery hasn't hasn't been replaced with custom recovery (clockwork mod recovery) and is still looking for update.zip in the root folder of your SD card.
Maybe look for an update.zip in the xda forums and put it in the root folder and see if that helps.

Hi escombralls,
i think, you are the first who used the "unlock root"-tool wihtout boot-problems after that.
Maybe, this tool nevertheless did not work correct. All other legend users had no success with this tool.
You should use a guide from this forum for rooting ...
if you are in the system recovery and the top part say...
Android system recovery <3e>
you cant use the fake flash...
you can find guides where everyone uses with no problem to properly root your legend from the forum.
than you'll notice after the process (downgrade to 2.1 step) when you go to recovery you'll notice the top part of this bunch of blue words say...
Android system recovery <2e>
than you can use the fake flash...
head here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
for the fake flash and follow Blay0's simple rename copy instrutions...
with this fake flash (CWM) you can start flashing other rom and also partition your card (remember to backup important stuff before you do anything)...
good luck
OK, thanks for your inputs.
First of all I will try with another update.zip file.
If the problem persists, I will follow one of the guides for rooting...
I will keep you informed.
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
I'm sorry, but I'm confused. I got that error message(thread title) when trying to flash new ROMs onto a newly rooted/stock I777. This is in recovery without ROM Manager. It also says "can't access to /system/csc/att/system" upon booting into recovery.
Sounds like you need to install a custom kernel. If you're on stock recovery you'll get this message, it won't let you install anything.
