[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...

E:failed to verify while-file signature
E:signature verification failed

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

Help Installing ROMs PLEASE

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?

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

Thread moved to Q&A.

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:

Having problems flashing anything to my phone

I am running DL09, everything is stock. I rooted my phone, and flashed cwm via odin. Then I installed cwm from the market and from cwm flashed recovery. Via cwm i tried to flash an updated version of cwm, but it didn't work, then I tried to flash the leaked dl30 - it also didn't work. everytime i try to flash anything, i get the following error message:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed installation aborted.
the top of the screen (when i boot into recovery from the rom manager) says
Android system recovery (2e)
Samsung recovery Utlis
- for BML -
also, when I try to select anything, it only recognized the home soft key as enter.
my only options are
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
what has gone wrong?

I have the same problem. Adrynalyn said something about dl09 being sneaky and killing the cwm loader, so the first boot after running odin we are supposed to flash a clean kernel... I haven't tried it yet, been busy, but I will this weekend before flashing froyo.

I had the same blue text screen with those for options this morning when looking to wipe batt stats. I went ahead and selected the sdcard option, and next thing I know I'm looking at the gen text again with the complete list of options. Maybe try that?
Mmmmm...Froyo!

Wildfire freeze on startup logo

Heeelp....
Hi, i root my wildfire with sucess but i can´t instal any rom, and i tried to fix permissions with "root tool.apk". Restart the phone and its freeze on logo in a white background.
I already try recovery, wipe factory and nothing......any ideas please.
Sorry for inglish

When you do a Wipe in Clockworkmod, it is different from a factory reset, and obviously, you will have to flash a ROM after it. Trying to reboot your phone after Wipe Data will result in a frozen start logo.
After you do a wipe, select Install Zip from SDCard, and select the ROM's ZIP file, which you want to install.
NOTE: If you have Clockworkmod 3.x, you can only install Gingerbread ROMs, and, if you have Clockwork 2.x, you can only install Sense / Froyo ROMs

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E:signature verification failed"
I had install "root tool.apk" to try fix permissions because of clockworkmod was not properly installed. gave errors

Problem solve, just run 0001_WildPuzzleROM_v0.2

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.....
