backuping up failure

So I did the one click rooting method and then installed rom manager. After I did that I clicked to flash clockwork mod from rom manager and chose the epic. I then went to backup and got
E: failed to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
All my root apps function fine though.
What am I doing wrong?

Sounds to me like you don't have Clockworkmod Recovery flashed yet. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067

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:

Random, but did you flash the correct modem first?

Are you sure that you are in clockwork recovery and not the Samsung recovery? Have you flashed the correct clockwork through Odin? You need to have the odin flashed clockwork recovery to be able to install test zips. If you are trying to flash a froyo rom you will need to flash the red (voodoo) clockwork recovery.
Can you describe what steps that you have taken when clockwork was installed and what Rom you are trying to download/install. Thanks!

Install ROM abort
Frustrated and bummed. Would it cause problems or damage my phone to root phone again and re-install Odin 1.3, ClockWork Mod Recovery (voodoo or non voodoo?)? Already installed ROM Manager Premium and Titanium Back-up from Mkt.
Lost!

Why don't you just do the all in one eb01 Odin? Then you don't have to even mess with clockwork, it's super easy. Look for it in the development section

[HELP] Problem with flashing [Cyanogen and frozen]

Ok, run down;
I rooted my SGII, CWM was working.
I got RomManager Pro, I followed the instructions to install CyanogenMod.
I got the error:
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
I couldn't find a good suggestion about what to do, some people suggested flashing and going the wipe route.
I followed the instructions here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411 telling me to;
"Harder way:
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)"
After I installed the rom .zip file I restarted and I am stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-19100 screen with the yellow triangle and exclamation mark.
Any suggestions would be extremely welcome. Kind of freaking out.

I had the same. I removed battery and then replaced it and pressed up+home+power to boot into recovery and install back up.
