Looks like you're using wrong .zip file.

I have a G1, and I tried to get root. I downgraded to RC29, and then downloaded the recovery.img file and the Hard SPL, downloaded telnet and all that, then tried to flash the spl as update.zip to the phone using the recovery console (i think that's what it's called, i pressed home+power to get there). it keeps giving me an error message "E:No Signature (26 files) E:Verification failed". i tried to download another one, and it gave me the same message. i've been looking for a solution for six hours and nothing helped ;( anyone think they can help me?
Did you try editing the zip in any way? Did you extract it/etc? You need to take the downloaded zip, rename it update.zip, and put it on the sdcard. Do not change any files in it or extract it. Hell, don't even open it.

Doesn't sound like you're using the SPL update.zip. That updater only contains one file.
@gary13579 the only thing i did to the zip was rezip it, cos my mac automatically unarchives everything when i download it.
@jashu do you know anywhere i can get the SPL? i downloaded it from the post on this forum..

That would be the problem. You're going to have to find a way to download it without unarchiving it.
There's a "signature" added to all updates, which tells the phone whether it's a legitimate update or not. When you re-archive it, it loses that signature.
The zip file in the Android dev host is invalid
Can you re-load the file?
Thanks
Youre updating via fastboot or recovery?
I recommended install as shown in leo's video
Anyway, the one in dev host is for fastboot, while in android file and ubunto one is zip flashable thru recovery..
Check MD5 if you download file correctly
zip works fine
Hi guys,
When I enter cwm recovery mode and try to install zip file (tries several, none working), the message is: cannot open zip file (bad)... installation aborted.
Any help is much appreciated.

which Rom you're trying to flash? make sure that the zip file is right, or is there another zip in the zip file?
Solution found - automatically opened zip files in safari

I think I have found the solution. I figured there might happen something with the zip files after they are downloaded when my Mac OS X Yosemite opens them (I re-compress the folders usually and transfer the new zip file to an external SD.) So I turned off safe opening on safari preferences, re-downloaded the rom (this time: Pac Man ROM), flashed, and it worked like a charm!
So either you're running Mac or Windows, auto-expanding might cause trouble with the zip files.
I hope others will find this helpful as well.
Merry xmas!

invalided zip can mean all sorts of things
The zip is corrupted - download the zip file again
The zip is not meant for your phone
You have incorrectly edited the zip
The updater script is incorrect
The update binary is not for your phone
The zip is not a flashable zip - look inside and make sure there is a META-INF folder - if not its definitely not a flashable zip
