if you are rooted why don't you flash paul's repack update?

I tried Pauls too but it gave a different error this time..."E:signature verification failed." Please help!

have you tried amons ra recovery? some people has success with it.

You mean something like this:
[Well, I'd like to post an image here, but since I've been a member since 2007 I'm not allowed to post URL's. Moderators?]
Yeah, I have that error too

i have the very same error and im rooted too
so when you are rooted you cant just update it?

Re-download and test both of Modaco Paul's FroYo updates (the normal one and the one from the mirror). Do both give the signature error again?
If neither work, try Cyanogen 5.0.6:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/150-cyanogenmod-for-nexus-one-v506-04152010/
If not even flashing Cyanogen works, something is wrong.
Remember to try wiping too!

You need to flash Amon-Ra recovery image. Then run paul's update,
OR:
Seems to me like it is possible that your download is corrupted. Did you download from the google address or a mirror? Get it from google directly.

[Q] Rom Manager- Not able to verify whole-file signature

Hey guys,
I am pretty new with the android OS but I am trying my hardest to read up on it and wrap my head around it. so please bear with me.
I have a verizon fascinate that was purchased a week ago and I rooted it.
I have the Rom Manager installed and the OS is running smoothly. I was going to install a custom Rom on my phone but when I tried to back up the current Rom using the Rom manager. it will boot into the Android system recover (2e) and this is what shows up on my phone:
-- Install from Package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:faield to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
with that massage I dont think that I have my current Rom backed up any where...
does any one know how I can get passed this step?
I dont have much knowledge about the android operating system so if some one can help me out with this it would be freaking awesome!
---
I have not installed anything crazy, Rooted with the One click root. and Used the Titanium back up software.

You have to flash the Clockwork kernel/recovery onto it to run the update.zip that activates the backup stuff. See here.
MAKE SURE YOU FLASH INTO THE "PDA" SECTION OF ODIN AND NOT THE "PHONE" PART. "Phone" will brick your device.

Works perfect now!
Thank you very much!

i'm having the same problem, but i've already flashed clockwork? did i miss something?

Which version of cwm are you using, and what are you trying to flash?

Errors when attempting to apply update.zip

I have the European (stock) version of the Galaxy S running 2.2.
I am attempting to install Darky’s 2.2.1 ROM and when I attempt to apply update.zip in recovery mode, I get the errors
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
My phone was originally rooted using the ‘one click lag fix’ that you can download from the marketplace. I also had Voodoo, but I disabled this. When I try to use OCLF to root my phone again, everything is ‘redded out’ except for check free disk space. I’m not quite sure why this is.
Does anyone know what’s going on here? I want to get my super fast cool looking ROM!

e3 needs signed updates, you need to flash e2 recovery to apply unsigned ones. CF-root includes e2 recovery, there's others as well

XIAfbk is totally right, first flash CF-root with Odin, then go into recovery mode.

[Q] Help please.

Hey. I am very new to the Droid X. I just got it as a replacement phone because I lost my HTC Incredible. I was so used to my Incredible that I only know how to half-way use this phone. I rooted this phone as soon as it was in my home. However, while trying to install GB on it, I realized I used the wrong Bootstrap Recovery. So now my phone just gets stuck on the "M" Logo. I'm not some fool that didn't do any research about this before coming here. But nothing has worked for me.
I tried re-installing to the stock rom 2.2.1 (2.3.340)
But whenever I try installing from the STOCK RECOVERY (because I can't seem to access Clockworkmod Recovery) The bar fills about 25% and cancels leaving the message :
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
.E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
Please help. Thank you ><

Nevermind!!! DD FIXEDDDDDDDDDDD

When u fix a problem please post how you did it.not just nvm fixed it

[Q] 4.2.2 Update Error Help

So My Nexus 7 is simple Stock android 4.2.1 with root and i go to update to 4.2.2 and i get a error (The red triangle one)
Can anybody help i hear there are others with this same problem but yet to find somebody with a solution, do you think i should unroot and relock the nexus and try and update again or just reflash back to stock image

That screen sounds a bit like the stock recovery, not a custom recovery as one would expect with a rooted device. Please explain.
The error that occurred is given in the recovery log file - /cache/recovery/recovery.log
Please report what the error was. If you actually have root in the ROM you should be able to view this file.
No need to relock your boot loader - that is unrelated and relocking it only complicates things.
One more thing - OTAs are not designed to be robust in the face of and arbitrarily reconfigured ROM. It is unreasonable to expect that they will work correctly on a rooted device. They are meant for 100% stock devices, PERIOD. While you may not remember explicitly changing something, if you gave root privilege to an app, that app might have changed things which cause the problem that occurs. On this forum, there have been claims that Stickmount, Beats Audio, and even Titanium Backup can cause these sorts of problems.

And how do you fix this? I have the same problem. I guess you need a different file then the OTA one. Where do you get this file?
Thanks!

Ummm... you are forcing me to guess about your situation. You are rooted, but also do not have a custom recovery installed?
What error message do you find in the /cache/recovery/recovery.log file? Please do not simply say "Status 7", report the FULL ERROR message.
As I said, the OTAs are meant to be used with pure stock ROMs, not customized/rooted ROMs. There do not exist an infinite array of OTA file variations corresponding to a fix for the exact problem you are experiencing, unless you were to create one for yourself by unpacking the OTA zip file and hand-editing the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script file to skip over the problem you are experiencing.
And if you did that, you would certainly need to use a custom recovery to install it, as doing the operation described above would break the signing of the OTA package, so the stock recovery would refuse to install it.
The other alternative which allows you to use the unmodified OTA is to "fix up" a customized ROM by manually replacing all files that were removed or altered with their original stock versions. This process seems almost as ridiculous as the scenario described above, as now you are purposely breaking the modifications performed by root-aware apps (Stickmount? Beats Audio? Titanium Backup?)
The amount of effort this whole process will take is variable depending on how much stuff has been changed since you rooted. When the OTA performs it's checks prior to beginning it's patching operations, it halts on the first check which fails. Which might mean that you will need to iterate several to many times the process of:
- run the OTA, look at the error in /recovery/log/recovery.log
- hand patch the file involved
- re-run the OTA.
Doing the above can be problematic if you have changed multiple framework files - if you replace stuff one file at a time it is possible to wedge the OS because of dependency issues.
The only good news here is that because the OTA runs all it's checks before it patches anything, it is safe to run it as many times as you can tolerate. (On tilapia devices, though there is evidence that using custom recoveries is almost never a good idea if you want the radio firmware to be updated correctly).
A wholly better idea is to simply start over. Make a full Nandroid backup of your current ROM. If you want, you can also experiment with backup/restore apps like Titanium Backup and/or Carbon.. Then you install a pure stock ROM from the Google Factory images, and begin re-customizing all over again, as if you had just bought the tablet.
If you don't like the result, restore your Nandroid backup. That's what backups are for.**
good luck
** its a good idea to get copies of your Nandroid backups off of the device, as there are various ways that the entire /data partition can get wiped - including the psuedo-SD card containing all your precious backups. You've been warned.

First of all. Thanks for the quick response. Secondly, I get this error on both my nexus devices. The Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7. Though I don't know if it is exactly the same error - it is very similar (with the android guy on its back and the red triangle). I have a picture of the error message that comes up on the Galaxy Nexus. Both devices have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. The Nexus 7 is deffinitely rooted with the Galaxy Nexus I'm not sure - I thought so but Titanium Backup doesn't let me backup anything and I don't have a custom ROM running on the phone.
So if I understood you correctly I should go back to the stock recovery and unroot it as well and then try it again?!
Why is the picture that I attached not showing?
This is the error message:

I rechecked it for the Nexus 7. The message is slightly different:

On both devices the files do not match the expectations (assert failed), i.e those files are not the original ones the OTA is expecting -> You need to re-apply the original files to your ROM before you can apply the OTA or you need to do flash the 4.2.2 system manually, which probably might be the easier solution.
