Problem Installing a custom rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have been trying to root my galaxy s2 GT 19100 so I can install a custom rom for a few days now but I keep getting this error message:
Using JB 4.1.2
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
I have tried doing this with odin 3.07 but for some reason the .zip files aren't showing up when trying to select the rom.
I have the roms in a folder on my desktop /s2 roms in zip format.
I always run odin as admin.
I am running Windows 8.1 and I have already checked folder options to showw all files.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

did you try to flash the rom in a custom recovery like CWM? if not do that. And redownload the custom rom maybe it was a download fault.
And one more thing, that file is not made to flash with odin but in recovery mode :highfive:

Did you have working custom recovery aka cwm before flash custom rom?

Which rom you are running on your phone? Is it Stock Rom?
If Stock rom you have install CWM.
On odin you only update Stock rom (Ex;4.1.2 Stock) thought a file (.tar).
You have looking for CWM 6.x.x .tar and then you can install through Odin.
After install, go to CWM by holding Power + Volume Up + Home and then install zip file

[Q] Problem with recovery ROM Manager and Galaxy S2 (XWKDD)

Hello ... I ask you a little help on ROM Manager and Recovery.
I just root the galaxy S2 with the procedure supercurio, so my ROM is pretty much stock ... I was a XWKDD.
ROM Manager (in his opinion) regularly install ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2, but when I restart in recovery and launch the update.zip I get the following error message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Googling a little I found how to sign files.zip, moddied 3e recovery and also to ignore the signs in zip files ... but none of these workarounds work ...
So how I can use this 3e recovery with unsigned files?
Or ... how can I replace the 3e with the 2e recovery? (There ROM with the 2e which do not differ much from the stock ROM?)

Help needed aswell
EDIT: I do not like the CWM4 as the recovery deletes it's self after about a day for some reason, then i have to reflash.
I am using the Stock XWKF4 rom (rooted) with superuser and busybox and i also can't use ROM to install clockwork mod recovery.
I get the same error as the guy above me.....Help
Please, Thanks,
Andrew.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Having this problem too.
In ROM Manager, I flashed the latest CWM, then reboot into recovery.
It reboots to Android system recovery (3e).
Any idea how I can get recovery working. Do I need to flash a different kernel?
I actually JUST dealt with this issue myself. I had the same kernel as you.
You need to flash a new stock ROM in odin, I used KG6. I just used the stock kernel, not the whole package.
The stock ROMs can be found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Then when this is done, you use odin to flash a CF Root for that kernal following these instructions:

Got this working yesterday by flashing this kernel:

I am also having issues. I have an SGS2 with 2.3.3..
I have rooted the phone and am trying to install Cyanogenmod7 (nightly build #22) to my phone.
I have downloaded ROM Manager, Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery (4.0.1.5) and have tried to 'Install ROM from SD Card', then selected the cyanogenmod. However, its coming up with the following message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed

I have tried to download 3e without signature verification "3e_recovery_no_sig_check" but this has not worked. I am a bit of a noob at this so appreciate any lamens terms help anyone can provide!!
Hey guys. I tried the KG6 and CF kernel, and the lulz kernal. Both are giving me t 3e error on CWM. What else can I do?
cant flash roms
Hey guys,
I too am having this problem. I have completely lost the ability to flash roms from cwm. It says "Installing update" when its a new rom and it flashes it in less that 3 seconds and then it gets stuck at the boot. If I use rom manager it just says "E: signature verification failed on the whole file". I have tried the following:
-restoring stock rom (KE2) and then using cf-root which installs 4.0 and cwm 4.0.0.2
-formatting sdcard
It's really bad, I am dwelling on just one nandroid backup of Cognition and I can't even update it!
Thanks for your help
You cannot use 3e to install custom roms. 3e (blue color) is the default samsung recovery. When you try to flash custom rom with 3e, it will fail verification.
You need to use Clockwork Recovery (orange color).
Try installing Speedmod Kernel instead of using CF-Root kernel and see what happens.
Mate that totally fixed it thanks so much for the help! Now I can get back to flashing stuff!!

Problem to flash CWM
Hi,
Here are the steps that got me into this situation:
1. My provider installed a test version on my Galaxy S2 in order to resolve some problems.
2. After the above I rooted my device using ODIN 1.85 and SuperOneClick 2.1.1 using XWKDD kernel.
The versions of my phone now are:
Model Number GT-I9100T
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9100TJIKI1
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected]#2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.JIKI2
My intention is to flash CWM in order to install Cyanogenmod ROM. When I tried to flash the CWM using ROM Manager it failed. From what I read it is because I have 3e recovery.
I saw some suggestions for resolution, like flashing a stock kernel and than flash CWM again to avoid the invalid signature problem.
However, I couldn't find any kernel that fits my device situation.
Any suggestions for a route I can take to resolve the situation?
a route that will leave my device functioning
Thanks, Nissim
You should try and install a custom kernel which also flashes clockwork mod recovery on your phine like speedmod, ninphetamine or hellcat's kernel.

Thank you for the advise.
Unfortunately digging into the above kernels you suggested, I couldn't find that any of them fits my situation (Build:GINGERBREAD.JIKI2 and kernel:XWKDD).
I saw clear warnings not to select the wrong kernel.
Look for cfroot kernel. It is almost stock. Just rooted. I think i saw ki2 over there.

It could be a corrupted download, try to re-download and copy to your sdcard. and also do a full wipe(if i'm correct, you coming from 4.1) and follow instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806401
hope it helps
Already tried redownloading but no luck.
I guess the only thing left is to flash Stock ICS rom via Odin PC, which I hate, and than rooting and flashing the new rom.
Any suggestions?
Ok, I also tried flashing other Custom ROM like SuperNexus, and an older version of RootBox, but still having the same problem. I think this problem might have to do with either the ROM or the jeboo_kernel I am using in this WanamLite ROM (Stock JB XLSJ Leak).
I guess PC Odin is my only hope now.
Flash dorimanx kernel and then flash roms.
And for one time USE SEARCH it created about 50 threads about status 7

XDA the best
Need to flash CWM, then flash kernel dorimanx and then to flash rom
Dorimanx (recommend 5.58)
CWM
Copy Kernel and CWM to sdcard / internal card
Then Reboot, and enter to Recovery (hold Power + Home + Vol.UP)
Install Cwm via "apply update from external storage" (then reboot)
Enter again in Recovery (hold Power + Home + Vol.UP)
Install kernel via INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD (reboot)
and try now to flash Rom

[Q] upgrade galaxy note n7000 to android kitkat

hi guys
i has a problem to upgrade galaxy note n7000 to android kitkat. my phone can't root properly. also can't flash rom. when i try to install cwm advanced or twrp it fail every time. i can't find the proper cwm advance or twrp for my note N7000DXLSE. can u all guide me from rooting process until the last step to flash the rom in cwm. give me the link to download latest cwm advance or twrp FOR GALAXY NOTE N7000DXLSE except from xda forum. i'm blur to find it in xda forum. give me the simple link
You don't need root to install a rom on those things. What is the error when installing the custom recovery? Does it flash successfully but once you boot to recovery, it isn't there? If so, it's because you have to make sure to boot to recovery BEFORE you allow it to boot to the operating system first. The phone has a script built in that checks to see if the recovery has been modded and rewrites the stock one to it. When the phone goes to auto reboot after installing the recovery, hit the button combo to enter recovery immediately, do your backup, then follow installation instructions for the rom you want.
If this is NOT the error you are receiving, please describe it.

I looked into it a bit, and pretty sure I know why you are having issues. This particular model has the recovery built into the kernel, so you actually need a kernel with the recovery part already replaced with a working custom one that is specifically for your firmware. There are 2 methods to install.
Odin: http://d-h.st/me0
Via Update via Zip in stock Recovery (3e): http://d-h.st/FpR
What slot are you trying to install from? It should be the AP slot for Odin 3.09.
If you want to try TWRP, well, it only works with 4.4.2 and comes prebundled in some Kit Kat roms like Omni
