Help Installing ROMs PLEASE - Fascinate General

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?

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?

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:

[Q] Clockworkmod "backup current ROM" problems

So I am following this guide here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...d-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/
that shows how to root/backup/install custom ROMs
I followed root instructions via this tutorial: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...ent/79811-newbie-guide-rooting-fascinate.html
everything seemed to go fine although i dont know how to check if i successfully rooted or not.
**NOTE**while my phone was plugged in the usb port, for some reason my computer kept making the disconnect/reconnect sound as if i kept unplugging the chord. I tried the only 2 USB ports I had with same results. my laptop is 5 years old
The main guide(first link) linked me to this clockworkmod backup tutorial to backup my current stock phone state. HERE:http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
Now here is the problem. everything seemed to work fine up until the step titled "my first backup"(scroll down). here is what happens:
1)hit "backup current rom"> backup name is a bunch of numbers>select ok.>
2) allow superuser request>
3) then it goes to a screen with a white triangle surrounding an exclamation point and a little android guy and this message:
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
-For BML-
reboot system now(only thing i have tried to select-just boots back normally)
apply sdcard;update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
--Install from package...
Finding update package...
verifying update package...
E:failed to verify while-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
sorry for the length but i had to be thorough.
You didn't flash clockwork with Odin, did you? That's the only way to get clockwork going. Can't just do it with ROM Manager
Can u plz elaborate ? How do I flash clockwork thru Odin? I've done flashing new firmware thru odin! How to flash clockwork and wotz to be selected in odin?

Try looking in the development section. There is a sticky with walk through instructions on flashing Clockwork.

i was just following that tutorial to backup my stock phone in the third link. why would they have left out an important step like that?
That may just be the general process for android, but for our particular phone you have to flash with odin

Failed to verify whole-file signiture

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.

[Q] Need help with Rom Manager

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.

Musclehead84 can you give me a step by step or direct me somewhere i can do this. I'm new in this. thanks in advance.

Getting ClockWorkMod to work

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 -

Installing rom wont work

Ok i flashed my S2 to XXKG1 then flashed with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.tar
I then flashed with GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4.tar
I have CWM app and SuperUser App and Rom Manager Premium.
I backed up my ROM fine using CWM app. I downloaded CyanogenMod from Rom Manager. Picked Install from SD. my phone askes me to backup and clear cach, when the phone reboots it just reboots to android with a (/!\ android man) Image. If i press vol key the menu will appear clockworkmod recovery v4.0.1.4 (its orange).

Stop using rom manager, if you installed the cf-root kernel just reboot into recovery and install the zip.
As stated, got into recovery at boot and select install from sd, not via rom manager.....
