I rooted my epic 4g phone today. I installed rom manager to backup my current rom. I have flash clockworkmod recovery and gave it superuser permission. when i click on backup current rom. i save the backup name and it restarts. i get an error
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e: signature verification failed
installation aborted.
i have an option to reboot system now, apply sdcard.update.zip or wipe my data and cache partition.
i just need someone to help me solve this issue thanks. also i would like to download roms but that dont work either. thanks for the help in advance.
Sounds like you didn't install cwm. Your on the stock recovery. You can't use rom manager to flash cwm for you on stock kernel. Run the one click root and cwm. use the three finger to get into cwm.
Thank you both for addressing this problem.
Since I am a computer novice in many ways, and new to this forum (thank you for having me), Musclehead84, could could you please step me through the process?
Q: Where do you get 1-click root?
Q: What is the order of operation. Is "get cwm" invoked from inside the 1-click root?
Thanks
I got the one click root from here.

I'm fairly sure someone will have an answer to this.
I rooted my Wildfire with the Unrevoked method - all went well.
Backed up with Nandroid.
Installed custom rom, but it kept boot looping. So I restored back to the nandroid backup.
OTA update for Froyo now asking to be installed on the phone - so I say yes, it starts the install, reboots the phone and then stops at the recovery screen with an error about
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
What have I buggered up?
i have the same problem with updating the rom, the problem is that its rooted and the only way i found to install froyo is to install the original RUU which will wipe all my data and i have no idea how i can restore my data when its updated
cant find the link to teh original roms at the moment:/
edit: ah there it is http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/
i found a solution, i could install the rooted rom from here and it updated without problems and all my settings are still there

First of all, you have to seek for the option "disable signature check" in one of the nandroid menus.
Then there are several options. If you want the slightly modified OTA witch causes LOSS OF ROOT PRIVILEGES:

Merry xmas for you as well!
hey guys.
i searched the forums, maybe not hard enough but here goes.
forgot when i rooted the phone, maybe in november. have rom manager, titanium manager, etc...havent put any roms yet but when I go into recovery, i have no option to nandroid backup.
the only four options i have are:reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
i also have a
E: cant open /cache/update.zoip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
while im in recovery. any help would be appreciated!
You need to install Clockwork in the Rom Manager App. After that, reboot into recovery and click reinstall packages (sometimes it takes a few times of clicking reinstall packages).
thanks. i updated rom manager and after a few tries installing packages, was finally successful!
thanks

Is your update.zip on your internal sd card? It can't be in any folder..
that update.zip is nowhere in the card as far as I can see... what is that file about? where I can find it? maybe was created when I tried to root the phone (DEfy) z4root didnt work and I finally used superone click... is that update file created by the superoneclick??

Ok. You are aware your in the Samsung Vibrant section?
ups, very sorry about it... that is why nothing was matching...
sorry greg, I dont bother you any more, i will search in the right location.
thanks a lot
Plus that update.zip you posted was for a full rom. Thats not the file used to root the phone.

Its ok bro. Just didnt want you downloading anything around here that would mess up your phone.
I am stuck...
Ive tried installing two different ROMs on my Fascinate and get the same error when doing both and i cant figure out why.
I have tried installing the DL09 and DJ05 both getting this error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Esignature verification failed
Installation aborted.
The options up top are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I thought that there was a way to bypass the signature but am unsure of the steps.
I have also tried uninstalling CWM and pulled the battery and then tried running both the ROMs and still got the same error...
Any ideas?
Have you flashed both parts of CWM? You need to flash it via Odin as well as use ROM Manager. The part through ROM Manager downloads the update.zip file, so you could just download the update.zip from somewhere else if you didn't want to use ROM Manager.
After that, you should be set to go. Also, you should have posted in the General section.
are you applying the update to get in cwm recovery? then going to install zip from sd card?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897889
Step 2.
Or there are many more posts/guides/questions about this in the General section. Cheers.
Did you have any success with the suggestions here or are you still stuck?

follow the link from the above poster.
0. Is your phone rooted?
1. Have you flashed the radio?
2. Have you installed clockwork rom manager?
3. You should be flashing ROM via the clockwork recovery not samsung recovery

This happens when you are coming from a stock ROM that does not have Clockwork Mod installed properly.
You need to install Clockwork Mod. You need to flash via Odin, as well as in ROM Manager. Follow these instructions in post #1:

android noob here, just converted to the Vibrant from blackberry not long ago. i'm no stranger to modding phones, did some OS updates on my BB, but now i'm perplexed.
I was gonna try and throw a custom ROM on my Vibrant, but i've hit a speed bump. i'm rooted (via superoneclick), i installed ROM manager, and i flashed the current ClockworkMod recovery (2.5.1.2) but i cannot get it to make a backup. when i boot into recovery mode the only options available are these:
-reboot system now
-reinstall packages
-delete all user data
-delete cache data
-format internal sd card
i think this is the stock recovery, so for some reason it's not recognizing the CWM recovery.
i keep trying "reinstall packages" (at least 15-20 times) but every time i do i get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I've confirmed that the update.zip file exists and is on the internal memory card. I've tried older versions of CWM. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager several times. I'm at a loss at this point.
Also, not sure if it's related, but when i hit the "Fix Permissions" command in ROM Manager it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Is this relevant?
HELP!
Thanks!
sounds to me that you have stock recovery. one that says 3e instead of 2e. If thats the case you do not have root. you need to flash a kernel that has the 3e to 2e fix.

i'll give this a shot, thanks. hopefully it's not above my level of knowledge!

So... that must have been the problem ! glad I could help.
I greatly appreciate it, thank you.
Embarrassingly enough, I believe the issue was that I didn't have Busybox installed. I did the 3e to 2e fix with no luck, did some more reading and realized I didn't have busybox, so I installed that, redid the 3e to 2e fix, and voila, the green menu appeared. Getting ready to flash a custom ROM now
haven't decided between nero or bionix.
Have you considered looking at Miui or cm7. these are both gingerbread based roms. If you want to stay on a 2.2 I suggest an EDT Rom like project V.

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to get clockwork installed on a rooted stock firmware vibrant for a friend. Using ROM manager i've tried to install CWM and it says it is successful, however after trying to reboot into recovery and choosing re-install packages I get these errors:
E:Failed to verify Whole File Signature
E:signature verification failed
Installtion aborted
I tried flashing Vibrant (MTD) Clockwork Recover 3.x from ROM manager but it does the same thing.
Also tried the AIO tool from the sticky in the dev section and it doesn't work either. I chose the custom ROM but it doesn't push it to the phone or reboot it into recovery. (The install drivers option gave me a windows unhandled exception error)
I downloaded Heimdall but am not sure how it's used, can it flash any ROM or only specially formatted ones?
I've been searching these forums for a few days now and finding so much new and old processes to do things and I'm not very familiar with Samsung phones so any help is appreciated. Thank-you.
Re-Root it
Re-root the phone using One-click, when Baywolfs fails, one click always does it because it push's it through using ADB
CWM wont work unless the phone is proper ROOTED, youll know when its done right, cause youll see the super=user App after your done
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
After that, un-install Rom manager, then re-install it, then while your connected to WIFI or provider, make sure you flash CWM recovery,
Re- download the ROM again, but dont open it!!
Then when you are ready to flash that ROM as a zipped file, DO NOT open it [ meaning UNZIP] or you'll continue to get the signature error.
Then either flash using reboot into recovery or install using CWM option of sd card install, either or works!! .
Are you having trouble getting past the stock 3e recovery? I've been trying to get past it for a few days but have been poking around learning the in/outs of this. I have not yet gotten Rom Manager to properly flash CWM Recovery... the stock 3e is stubborn. Once CWM recovery is done, your options open up for backups, restores and installing some custom roms.
I don't know what the solution is but I'm still looking around.
Hope this was on track...
Its stuborn in the sense its picky about free space. You'll need to free up some room in order to use CWM. Reference this thread for guidance -
