Hey guys, new to rooting and mods on phones. i have a samsung fascinate that i rooted on saturday. installed rom manager, root explorer, clockwork and ti backup. the problem i am having is that when i attempt to flash the super clean rom from jt1134, by using the rom manager. it keeps giving me a few different error messages. on is E: failed to verify whole-file signature and E:Signature verification Failed. Through my research i tried dl'ing the zip form to the sd card, and similar messages came up. please help. Thanks
Not to be a jerk but you're more likely to get an answer from the General board.
Sorry for being a noob. Thanks for the advice. Like I said I'm new at this

Did you install CWM correctly (by using Odin and flashing the .tar file)?
If so, you can boot into CWM by using ROM Manager and pick "Reboot into Recovery"..
Then when in CWM, select Flash .zip from SD card..
Ya. I posted it in general and figured out that was the problem... Got it all fixed up and running super well. Thanks guys

Hey everyone,
I just loaded the latest tranquility and im loving it. i have a question though. ive been trying to load some custom tweaks, themes (specifically Gala X Theme 1.6.1) from clockworkmod and when it reboots to load the "rom" I get the Exclamation point/android icon. i click the home button and what it says, right after verifying update package..., is e:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument), E:signature verification failed, installation aborted. i can then reboot into tranquility. Am i doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance! Also, off the topic of clockwork, is there any way to set your own sounds for notifications?
Probably what's going on is you're not booting into clockwordmod. Sometimes the bootstrapper doesn't take. Try re-running the bootstrapper and then trying again.
You might also try re-downloading the file if that doesn't work after retrying the bootstrapper.
Its rebooting into clockwork recovery. At least that's what it says on the top of the screen. I also have bootstrap. I tried to install the package manually from clockwork recovery and it said e:signature verification failed. I know you can either boot into bootstrap recovery or recovery using clockworkmod. Would trying to install from bootstrap recovery change anything? Basically what I've been doing is going into clockworkmod, download rom section, download what I want, tell it to install and it fails. Also can I install these mods/roms Manually? Im still learning btw so thanks everyone for their help!
Try using the bootstrap recovery option in bootstraper then going to rom manager and downloading it and installing, seems like you have to hit the bootstrap recovery after every reboot

thanks guys! i ended up getting it to work. i just loaded the roms manually by booting into recovery using bootstrap instead of trying to do it automatically with clockworkmod rom manager. i probably shouldve mention rom manager up there cuz thats the program i was actually having trouble with. so i got everything i wanted installed manually and estoy happy! thanks guys for your replies and help!

Try giving us a little more details on what the error message says. Otherwise it's hard to determine what exactly you're doing wrong.
We can start with the basics, do you have ClockWorkMod installed?
Yes clockworkmod is installed, the error message e: file signature failed
E:failed to verify
Installation aborted

Try installing the ROM without using ROM Manager. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, then manually choose the zip and flash.
This usually means that clockwork is not installed correctly and that you are not flashing the rom from within clockwork.

I installed it from rom manager and it said it installed right, hold down vol down power and camera to get into recovery mode correct? Then how do I manually choose the zip file?

I rooted my epic w one click and I did a factory restore did that take out my root privs ?

It definitely sounds as though you haven't properly installed ClockWork -- IT appears you are booting in to the stock recovery, which will not allow you to flash a rom.
Assuming your phone is rooted, you will want to goto this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
and download this method of installing clockwork. Follow the directions on the post, and you shouldn't have an issue getting clockwork to run.
I'm just curious....did you rename or move this from inside the phone? I know I moved a couple roms using astro and then tried and no go.....maybe it was just me tho...

Please post questions in General section.
do you have clockwrk mod recovery?
Download rom manager from the market and flash clockword mod recovery and then choose the "install zip from sdcard" option
Idk how update.zips work, but I never installed a rom using one lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Are you trying to use the stock recovery or do you have clockwork mod installed?
You won't be able to load roms from the stock recovery. It checks for a valid signature before it flashes.
I don't have a pc I did the clockwork from rom manager

I had this problem too, when I rooted. Do a factory reset and retry the rooting. Once rooted, you wont have a problem with Clockwork Recovery.
You cant use rom manager to install clockwork. It doesn't work on the phones stock kernel.
Hi all, I screwed up running an update to my ROM, recovered through Odin (again ha), flashed back to stock, rooted successfully, and installed Clockwork, but whenever I try flashing my ROM through ROM Manager, the phone reboots right, then gives me the "E: failed to verify whole-file signiture E: Signiture verification failed"
I just want to get back on BlackHole :\ I searched around but either people figured it out and didnt explain, or the problems variables were too far apart from mine. I have tried removing and reinstalling clockwork, and I have tried redoing the entire process to the same result.
Any insight?
I want to add that I'm not flashing Clockwork through Odin, because the files aren't available on the forum anymore. Is this the error?
You need to flash the cwrecovery.tar file, which enables you to flash zips signed with test keys. Look in the thread about flashing clockwork on win/*nix.

You're doing it right, just missing one step. Installing clockwork mod through rom manager only downloads the update.zip file for it to your sdcard, you have to flash the cwm compatible stock recovery through odin. the file can be found here:

Excellent, I figured as much but since I couldn't find it anywhere I assumed it had been changed.
BEAUTIFUL. Thank you. Looking forward to running your 3.0. I was on 1.4 or something.
Hey guys, as you can see total Noob here, so here's the story, I have a Samsung Vibrant , rooted with OCR , installed Rom Manager, Titanium Backup and Astro File Manager, i am currently trying to flash a custom ROM on my device (running Android2.2) BUT when i try to reboot into recovery with RM it always comes up with the default (Samsungs) recovery menu, and i get this error: E: failed whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
If you can give me a simple step by step solution and maybe some reccs. of what ROM's to use and whats better for my phone it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Theres a toggle signature in cwm recovery. If your in the blue recovery, hit re install packages, most likely twice to get to green recovery. Then toggle signature, then flash
As far as suggestions, I run bi winning v3

Not sure what toggle signature means.

Theres an option to toggle signature verification in the recovery menu. Choose that option

I've tried to reinstall packages many times however I can't get into CWR mode, thanks though.

Did you flash cwm from the rom manager app. Its the first line in the app. Make sure you pick vibrant, not vibrantmtm

Yes I followed a tutorial step by step, I have the feeling that what causing the problem is my 2.2 version of android. I will do some more research in the forums.

go back to stock 2.1 with odin and then do the reinstall packages twice in blue recovery and then ull be fine!
