Ok here is the situation.. I rooted my phone. Installed titanium backup rom manager, wireless tether and root uninstaller. I have made a backup and removed some bloat via the unistaller app.
Now I have tried used odin success with that until I go to reboot into CM. I get the following err message
The first part in yellow letters
Install from package, finding update package, verifying update package. Then in red letters E: failed to verify whole-file signature E: signature verification failed Installation aborted.
Sorry if I gave too much detail just wanted to be specific cause small things seem to be what kills most people.

Do yourself a favor and download Root Explorer from the Market so that you can apply the the file supplied in the zip.
Thanks I will give it another shot after work today.

What method did you use to root? Have you confirmed your rooted? Are you using Rom manager or trying to flash directly through recovery? Dont mean to answer with questions, just trying to get a little more info to see if i can help.
sorry about that i did the 1 click root tried manual and rom manager
Sounds like you didn't install ClockworkMod. You need to install it before a ROM or Kernel can be installed.
cool where do i go to get the ClockworkMod firmware 2.1 update1 kernel ver 2.6.29
This thread should explain: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
U must have a computer and a usb cord. Download the drivers. Then flash clockwork its a method similar to the one click root.

Hi all you angry forum sharks
Here is my problem. ( well my girlfriends problem ) .
I have had my SF rooted since I got the thing and everything went smoothly and I'm currently running Jt's Rom (which is perfect thanks).
So my girlfriend Decided she can't stand bing anymore ( like most people) so she wants it rooted. I said ok and decided to do it through an app "z4root". It worked and gave me super user permission and I thought all is well.
I got Rom manager on there and flashed the recovery , and tried doing a backup. It went into clockwork spent like 2 seconds there and rebooted. I tried it again same thing. Then I said F this and tried to just install a Rom. It did the same thing one more time and failed.
So I went back to the app thinking It didn't root correctly and click "unroot". It work and there was no more super user. (I know I still have the CWM recovery). I decided to try "1 click root" which I had done on my phone and worked great. It found the phone but when I try running it I end up with no root and I get "permission denied" from the 1 click root dialog box.
Thinking this had something to do with the CWM I used Odin to restore System tar, kernal, Recovery, and the Pit. The phone is back to 100% stock works great but I STILL CANNOT ROOT the damn thing!!! I still get the permission denied on Su, busybox, superuser.apk.
Anything I can do to force root? lol
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance
update...
Odin restored again. Used PIT button and file while I used PDA to flash system, kernal, recovery.
1 click root still denied su, busybox. etc.
used z4root app, worked. I now have super user permission. Downloaded Rom manager. Tried flashing alternate recovery ( it says it was already flashed? It never loaded in the status bar.
tried to boot into recovery. It starts opening the file package and then I get
--Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package....
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification Failed
Installation aborted
Sigh....

I rooted a friend of mine's Fascinate. Everything is working up to par, but when I try to apply the update.zip it says.
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What have I done wrong? can't seem to find the similar issues on the forum.
Have you downloaded Rom Manager? If not do that and then open the program and press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" That should fix the issue.
Edit: If that doesn't help read how to install clockwork here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798064
I did install rom manager and flashed the recovery like it said in the instructions. That's why im a little confused. Haha.

You have to flash cwm with odin on a pc, you can't just use rom manager

Hey, I'm helping my friend install a new rom on his Droid X because the GB update messed his phone up. The Recovery version is 2.xxxx. I have Team Liquid's rom which won't install and it says
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation aborted."
I thought maybe the download was bad so I downloaded OMGB and the same thing happens.
I can install roms without a problem on my Thunderbolt but I know nothing about this phone. It took me a bit just to figure out how to get into Recovery. No longer can I get into Recovery with Rom Manager or Quick Boot. If I tried to use those apps it just ends up rebooting the phone.
Any ideas why this is happening? Should I install the latest version of Recovery (CWM)? I downgraded the Recovery because I thought the new version was preventing Rom Manager and Quick Boot from booting into Recovery mode. Thanks in advance!!
Edit: I downloaded the Droid 2 Bootstrap app and now I managed to get into Recovery but installation failed again. It says
"Installing update..."
"assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel")"
"==0"
"E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"Installation aborted."
Any ideas?

I'm a lil confused as what you mean when you say the GB update messed his phone up. If it was a OTA update that messed the phone up, then i would simply suggest getting rid of root and going back to Verizon because it could be an issue with that phone in itself.
Now if the GB update was caused by you guys trying to do certain things than follow directions of above poster StayFrosty777 (Cool name btw dude lol).
Also make sure that you download a custom rom that is on the build. I'm unsure of whether he actually has GB or if still on Froyo. If he is still on Froyo you will need to flash a Froyo rom, flashing a rom such as Liquid 3.0 which is based on GB, will not work on Froyo.
Hello guys
I recently unrooted my nexus 7 device because I really want to upgrade to 4.2.1. I tried every possible way. My deice is unrooted, so I tried to update my it from settings, but it goes into custom recovery and saya...
"ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.3
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signiture
E: signiture verification failed

So I said ok, it doesn't work, so I found the most recent update for the nexus 7 and downloaded it, went to custom recovery, found teh file and tried to update it manually.... This is what is said..
"-- Installing: /sdcard/Download/659e6288b87d.signed-n

I guess my question is.. what can I do from here? I really want to update it soon
Just download the firmware direct from Google and flash it using fastboot. Easiest and most reliable method, though you do need an unlocked bootloader.

Can you please explain in detail?
From Google meaning their website? or from settings on the Nexus 7? and what do you meant by a bootloader? which bootloader should I use?
I'm not sure but i think if you want to take ota it might need stock recovery to install and to update manually from custom recovery I think you need the BIG update from 4.1.2 JO??? to 4.2 JO40C as the update from JO40C to 4.2.1 JOP40D is incremental if I'm not mistaken....also you may need to update clockwork mod

Download the update to your device(it's hosted on these boards) reboot your machine into recovery, and install from zip. It's the way many of us update our devices. There was no need to unroot your device. Your OTA failed to install because of the custom recovery you're using.
I'm using 4.2.1
How do u get the screen to not turn off

I've got the same issue.
CWMRecovery says the same thing when I want to update by OTA.
I tried to install manually the ZIP file (/cache) by copying it in my /sdcard with CWMR but I had the same script.
I'm rooted, in 4.2 (logic) with CWMR 6.0.1.9 no touch.
Do I have to restore stock recovery or a sideload flash (or fastboot) would work ?

Follow the above link. It walks you through downloading a factory image from google and using fastboot to install it, regardless of what you may have done to your device. Also, if you are doing this, you can go ahead and use the latest image if you want, which puts you at 4.2.
enjoy. :good:
