Failed to verify whole-file signiture

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.

Can't boot after flash Android 4.4 with TWRP

I did with the help of this theard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Code:
1) Download the OTA.zip and copy to your phone.
2) Boot into recovery.
3) Flash the OTA just like you would a ROM.
4) Reboot.
Then I flash it with TWRP 2.6.3.0
After flashing I got this message:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "filename"
E: Error installing zip file 'filename'
I tried Dalvik/Cache wipe but it didn't help.
Now I can't boot into Android, it show GOOGLE and then blank screen
I can go to TWRP but when I try to use ADB sideload to connect with my computer, I get this message:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "inner.zip"
E: Error installing zip file 'inner.zip'
I don't have any rom in SDcard but the file "signed-occam-KRT16S-from-JWR66Y"
May anybody help me with this problem, please
In the worst case, where can I fix my phone with fee

Any changes to the /system partition or by rooting can cause OTA to fail. Flashing OTA is only recommended to a pure untouched stock rom.
Follow the guides in my signature to flash 4.4 without wiping your data.

why dont you just search your issue and for fixes... Put your phone in recovery and use adb to push over a rom. I dont want to be the bad guy here but why flash an OTA zip if you are already rooted just flash a stock rom. So many of you make things so much harder for yourself than it has to be.
Sorry for bashing you but you also should always keep a nandroid on your phone. Do some research or try what I suggested and good luck but for future reference be mindful of what may happen if things go wrong

I used OTA because I didn't want to reset my phone. I know it was stupid
I read some topic and they said my problem is TWRP 2.3.6 isn't compatible with android 4.4
(I should use CWM is).
I think now I have some think like android 4.4 in my phone but it can't boot
The problem now is I can go to recovery but can't usse adb to push a rom.
I tried some search but there was no help

i9500: Odd issue when trying to flash ROM's

Greetings all,
So I have been trying to redo my Wanam KitKat install due to the foldermount issue and I ran into a couple of issues. Now before someone comments about that awesome app from the app store, yes I use it I just have other reasons to try and get a clean install going.
So first things first, I Odin flash the latest CWM by Sameer, do the necessary wipes and start the install. I then get this error message:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/ROM Install/wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I power down the device and Odin flash the latest CWM Touch version and I still get the above message. I then flash Philz Touch 6.07.9 and voila, it installs without an issue. Now one of my other issues to resolve this foldermount issue is because any recovery other than the Philz version mentioned (even the latest Philz) fails to flash any files and has an issue seeing my internal storage.
So I Odin back to my earliest ICS version and try from there. Now the CWM recoveries see the correct folder path but I still get the above error and I did manage to get this code as well:
I: using /data/media for sdcard/0/clockworkmod/ . last_install_path.
I: Cant partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/dw_mmc.2/mmc_host/mmc2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have tried everything to try and get this to work as it should but I am stuck. Right now I have flashed the old Philz I have and restored a nandroid and the phone is fine. How do I get past these errors?
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
*edit*
I should mention that after the ICS flash I did a factory reset and wiped everything and still had the above errors...

Anyone?

CWM fails with a lot of roms. TWRP is better.

Hi, thanks for the input. Sadly TWRP also fails with the same error:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/ROM Install/wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted

Hence the reason for my asking. Its not a bad zip so redownloading it will not get rid of the problem. My recoveries are also good zips otherwise they would not flash. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Nexus 7 rom installation fail (Status 7)

Ok so there it is
its a nexus 7 1st gen and I have twrp v2.4.0.0 and I want to install Autodroid-Grouper-v4.4.4.built.1.2.zip
I did wipe cache and davlink
I tried to redownload the rom and pushed it with ADB in the tablet and I still get that status 7 code. I actually need that rom because I'm using my tablet as a car radio . Is it another rom that i can try similar or how do I fix that Status 7 ?
Actually its my second one. last time (2 years ago) I installed that rom on a same tablet and had no issue.
It goes like this !!
Format and Mount system. Mount data...
Symlinks and permissions...

Have you checked the MD5? Have you tried to flash other ROMs?

No. Its actually saying
"Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 Check: No MD5 file found."
I tried one other rom but still having error flashing zip and no MD5 file found

May be it's a bad zip. Have you tried to clean flash?

Cleaning cache,data,system before flashing a new ROM is considered as clean flash.
