Ask the developer to provide a signed zip file or disable signature verification. (preferably the first)

Use VRoot English Version to root your phone.
This error may be because of flashing custom roms using stock recovery, I guess.
After rooting, google some way to install custom recovery, like TWRP, CWM.
And flash your roms again.
If you get this error "assert failed" in CWM, try TWRP. And don't forget to disable "Signature Verification".
Good day to you. :victory:

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?)

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,

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
Installation aborted
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.

Hi
I have a rooted sg2 but it will not flash any additional roms or add on programs. When you go into CWM and flash a rom or google addons it says "signature verification failed" installation aborted. Any thoughts or suggestions? Phone itself works fine. I did notice that my titanium backup locked up at 15% so don't know if that is related or not
Did you flash the cwm kernel? Or install through Rom manager? Apparently the only way to install cwm is with a kernel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
If you are ONLY rooted and running a stock kernel, you still have 3e recovery and that won't flash anything but signed Samsung updates.
You need to flash a CWM-enabled kernel to flash ROMs and such.
Maybe this will help (if you are 100% sure you are on CWM and not regular 3e as pointed out):
Getting "E: Signature Verification Failed" in CWM?
One of two things happened:
1) You used ROM Manager even though it is listed in BIG RED LETTERS above. In which case flash codeworkx kernel and this time DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
2) Go into CWM click Install Zip from SDCARD>Toggle Signature Verification. Should see "Signature Check: Disabled". If it says "Enabled" then try reflashing kernel in Odin again.
TAKEN FROM THE FAQ below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288112
the signature verification that you were talking about seems to have done the trick. thanks for the help
SGS3 i9300 GSM rooted with Superuser.
I'm trying to install CM 10 but keep getting errors; "E: Failed to verify whole file signature" and "E: signature verification failed" in nice red letters.
I used the Unified toolkit by mskip, and got the "You hacked it!" msg, so I'm rooted as far as I know. Haven't tried any other roms before this one, but had the same error with another nightly CM 10 I downloaded.
Sure I'm doing something stupid - any help appreciated. Be gentle - my last Android device was a HTC Hero....
Any help appreciated.
Sounds like you are trying to flash from stock recovery, you need to install custom recovery

Sounds like a plan ... how do I install custom recovery? Sorry, verified noob here - is it under root options on the toolkit?

Which custom recovery do u want to install, maybe the one u downloaded was not signed properly..
Hi,
I've been hitting my head against a wall trying to install a new Rom on my Galaxy S3 I9300 device.
My device has super user permissions, I've installed CWM, also installed Super User, Root Checker, and confirmed that the device does have root access.
The issue is, when trying to install a new ROM, Revolution and also tried Hypermax. When I try to install Revolution my device doesn't go anywhere but just reboots. When I try to install Hypermax, I get the error;
"e:signature verification failed"
I've followed the following tutorials to get the steps to change the ROM;
http://joyofandroid.com/install-android-revolution-hd-custom-rom-on-samsung-galaxy-s3/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-hypermax-v8-t2755048
To try and go around the error above, I've downloaded CFRoot, successfully installed, but the same issue again when trying to install either ROMs above.
Have also tried to install superuser.zip but again, I get the "e:signature verification failed" error.
The main issue I think is that when I boot into recovery, I don't have the option to access the advanced options so can't toggle email signature options. The advanced options I'm missing are like that in the first image on the following link; http://www.recovery-android.com/root-android-in-recovery-mode.html
If anyone can help, would really appreciate it.
Cheers.
