I have the AT&T version of the GS2, and I rooted the phone a while ago. I still have the stock ROM on it, and I would like to flash CM7. I tried using RomManager, but I got this error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I have CWM Recovery 3e version 5.x and I think this might have something to do with it. I tried downloading the 99mb ROM manually from CM7 and putting it on my SD card. Even when I try to flash it manually by booting into recovery mode, I get the above error.
Has anyone had any luck flashing ROMS on their AT&T GS2 using CWM Recovery 5? Also does anyone know a way to disable the signature verification? I think their was a way to do that in CWM 4...
Thanks for any help, I'm pretty lost here.

There's your first problem, this forum is for the internation sgs2 not the att version.
I tried using RomManager

And here's your second problem, rom manager can't flash anything through a 3e recovery. You need to flash a kernel that has cwm already built in. And if you flash any kernel from the i9100 your buttons will be messed up, head on over the att forum and find a kernel.

Hey all,
I have got root permissions on my Samsung Galaxy S and also have ROM Manager installed but when I click boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery it just boots up the standard Android Recovery and shows the E: signature verfication failed etc which means I cannot flash to another ROM or anything?
It used to work but for some reason since installing a new custom ROM it does not anymore? Please help
Phone Details:
Model number - GT-I9000
Firmware version - 2.2
Baseband version - I9000XXJPY
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 hardcore 'at' speedmod-k11a-256hz #50
Build number - FROYO.XXJPO
Tried downloading and installing a new copy of CWM .

I have the same problem. If I try booting into recovery via the ROM Manager app, I get the original 3e recovery. However, if I try entering recovery directly (power off, hold vol up, home and power at the same time), I get into Clockwork Recovery every time.
I have the latest ROM Manager installed so I don't know why this is happening but it doesn't really affect me so I've not investigated further.
[edit] I'm only saying that I have the same problem because we're both running a speedmod kernel (albeit different versions) which installs a modified recovery to "fix" the 3e recovery issue.
Hello Both,
Yep I have tried installing it again JJEgan but no luck
I can't even boot into CWM recovery with the 3 button method because my phone doesn't support the 3 button thing - another gripe I have

Ummm. Before doing ANYTHING, why not proceed to fixing the 3-button issue? There's a thread pinned to every i9000 forum for a reason.
I'm guessing (don't know for sure) that you might have to reflash the kernel afterward to resolve the 3e recovery if it's placed back on your phone.
flash clockwordmod recovery from rom manager. it will create a "update.zip" file on your internal card. then reboot into normal recovery and apply update.zip twice, there you are

no you are wrong.. the signature failed is because you are not using 2e recovery but 3e (2e is lost when flashing to froyo).. you will need to restore 2e recovery with a custom kernel or custom rom.. search and read up on it and dont comment if you dont know what you are talking about.
recommend chainfire cf kernel to restore 2e recovery.
yub, what lgkahn said.
you need to flash a different kernel.
lots of ppl recommend hardcore's speedmod too, but try a few different ones and see which you like
I have the same problem. Can't get into clockwork recovery, instead it boot into Samsung 2e..

Saw the post about losing 2e when flashing to froyo. Thanks for that, I won't bother trying to fix it any more. Do You think there's going to be an update supporting 3e ?
iv got same problem but u need 2erwcovery which im trying to get

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.
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:

I'm getting an error "An error occurred while flashing your recovery." when I try to apply ClockworkMod recovery 2.6.0.1. No problems applying AR 2.2.1 or CWM 3.0.0.5.
Any ideas?
Already tried factory restore (wipe) and 2 different ROMs.

the 2.6.0.1 is the current recovery. This one backs up your wimax keys.
I know 2.6.0.1 is current. That's why I want to flash it.

I'm assuming you are trying to flash through ROM Manager? Never worked for me either. I flashed mine through fastboot, you just need to find the .img for 2.6.0.1. A google search should help.
Just download rom manager from the market. You can flash it from there.

Yes, trying from manager and getting that error. Where can I find the IMG file? Right now I have CWM 3.0.0.5. Should I go back to 2.6.0.1?

Thread has link to all CM issue
CM updated to 3.0xx yesterday and is not supporting older versions - you can still find them, just will lose support
i noticed this the other day but then yesterday i had to restore to stock (i made a back up right after i rooted so i can always go back to the beginning) and when i reinstalled rom manager from the market the older recoveries where on there and i got it flash back to 2.5.7.
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I updated my Clockworkmod Recovery today and I am now unable to restore it to the 2.6.0.1 version I had been running. I've searched the forum and found numerous .zip files and .img files but they are either broken or I am not going through the flashing process correctly. I followed the directions posted alongside the files but still cannot fix this. Could anyone help?
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 -
