Hi there,
i was trying to flash my samsung galaxy s and put darky's on it but for some reason i can't.
The recovery screen that pops op says recovery 3e (and every tutorial i found said 2e),
i try to "apply sdcard:update.zip
(i downloaded the update file from the darky roms thread)
and i get the error: failed to verify whole-file signature
signature verification failed, installation aborted.
i've got a samsung galaxy I9000XWJPA.
I've flashed the phone using z4root.
Then i've checked with terminal emulator that it's rooted.
I think that there's a problem with clockwork, or that i just didn't install that correctly, so i'm kinda stuck at the moment :s
could someone please help me?
First of all you should get the busybox file and flash it. Then copy the update.zip into the internal sd card and copy the darky rom too.
Before doing this i would restore it to factory settings. Dont root it with z4root, the busybox roots it and it allows you to open the update.zip
Try what i said and it should work.

You are on Android 2.2 which has the 3e recovery. 3e recovery doesn't allow using unsigned .zip files. You should first downgrade your recovery to 2e by flashing CF-root. After you downgrade your recovery, you'll be able to use any update.zip file.
You can find CF-root in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Since you have XWJPA, you should download the JPA version from the second post. Instructions are in the first post.
Make sure you have 3-button recovery and download modes working before flashing.
oh that's via odin3 right?
i'll try that, thanks
Tell us if there's any problem.

hmm, i've followed all the steps, downloaded odin, and the CF-Root-XW_XEE_JPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.tar file, but the download screen only says "downloading, do not turn off target!!!
is there any particular setting or where to place the .tar file?

Ok.
First of all disconnect the galaxy from the pc. Close odin. Open Odin, put in PDA CF-Root-XW_XEE_JPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.tar
Then shut down the galaxy. Reboot it again to download mode. Connect it via usb and then click start. Make sure re-partition isn't checked.
That's it. When setting up odin you can't have the galaxy connected to he computer. If something fails on download mode, you must always restart the download mode or it'll be stuck.
Good luck
aha, found the problem:
there doesn't appear a comport in odin
new problem, how do i get the phone recognized?

It should recognize it when you connect it in download mode...
Mine recognizes it as COM4.
This may be simple, but restart your computer and phone and see if it works.

If not, re-install the drivers for your phone
hi mate i had exactly the same problems as you and it done my head in for about a day and a half but then someone gave me this advice and it worked a treat,
go to market
download sgs kernel
once done flash speedmod kernel using the app
re start phone
once done download darkys rom
reboot to download mode (should now have 2e)
flash zip
choose zip
find darkys
click yes instal darkys
job done
one thing i must point out in 2e is the back button on your phone is now the select button and the menu button on the bottom left is now your back button
hope this helps as it did for me
Restart your pc and make sure Kies is not working at all.
thanks man! reinstalling the drivers did the trick ten points for coldflid!!!

For the record, people do NOT have to flash Darkys or any other custom ROM to get 2e. Simply flashing a kernel that has Clockwork Recovery included will do the trick. Your reco to flash SpeedMod would have solved the problem without having to go further.
Very true but he wanted darkys which was the only reason I mentioned but good to point out for others reading the post

You're 100% correct - my mistake for missing it on the first go-around.
not a problem
Hello ,
I have a similar problem with my Galaxy S I9000 .
I've updated it via KIES to the latest Froyo ( 2.2 as it shows my phone ) .
Next , I tried to install the voodoo lagfix .
I downloaded the .zip file and renamed it to "update.zip" .
Then I copied it to my phone's sd card ( I connect to PC via usb and copied in the 'Phone' folder ) .
Next , I used the 3 buttons ( Volume UP + middle button + turn off button ) and it got into Recovery mode .
I selected the 'update.zip' file and accesed it , but it says :
"E: signature verification failed, installation aborted."
I have to downgrade to 2E first ?
Today, my phone became laggy and I restarted my phone, however it didn't boot past the samsung galaxy s i900m screen. It never reaches the animation screen.
This happened before and after hours of trying different methods i sent it in to get fixed but now it has happened again and i want to see if i can fix it myself.
I have tried to flash it with I9000UGKC1 without any PIT file and repartition unticked and odin had completed it successfully but the phone just cycles back into the boot screen.
Ive tried flashing it again with the same firmware and a 512 PIT file with repartition ticked and unticked but its always the same result.
Is there anything I am doing wrong or are there any other suggestions?
p.s I have rooted the phone and applied a lagfix.
Thanks in advance.
Rule one before flashing UNDO LAGFIX lagfix F**** your install .

Hi dude,
Try flashing with the ODIN included.
Hopefully, it will fix your problem
P.S. if nothing works try flashing Darky's resurrection edition

Good luck!
Thanks for the replies guys.
jje, i would disable it now but since it's bricked i dont think i can. Also i cant get into recovery mode. Im only getting into download mode because i bought myself a jig the last time this happened.
Nitro, i dont know what you mean by "ODIN included" ive been using odin to flash it.
What is Darky's by the way? Is it a custom ROM?
darkys is a custom rom... and Im pretty sure he meant he had attached odin for you.
Maybe try flashing JL2 with 512 and part checked..? does odin flash without an issue? and do you get any errors when trying to enter recovery?
Oh okay... well i was using odin 1.7 anyway
odin flashes without an issue and i cant get into recover because my phone is one of the unfortunate ones without 3BR.
I'll try flash it again as you said but if it doesnt work ill just go ahead and send it in to get fixed.
there are phones with no 3BR? I thought it was only 3 button download??? So odin flashed without any issues and you still cannot boot?
What firmware are you flashing?
Try JL2/KC1 maybe try a gb like JVO
usually the phones can't get into either.
i had to buy a jig to get into download mode.
ive tried KC1, JL2 and some others for android 2.1 and the same keeps happening. Odin flashes fine but the phone never boots
I'm just going to send it in to get fixed. I was just seeing if it was me doing something wrong or its just the phone and well it seems like its the phone.
Thanks for your help
if you can hit download mode you should be able to flash it, does adb work for you to get into recovery i think it's something like
adb reboot recovery.....not sure on that though, anyways, try flashing a new kernel, go to the dev section and flash hardcore speedmod then flash the rom again, at this point I dont think it matters so I would try using a 512 pit and tick repartition......just me though, i'd be trying everything before I sent it away
ive tried so many of all of your roms and cant find the answer for this. i just came back from being on a gingerbread rom (simply honey) and i tried going to toxic music but tokic got stuck for 20 minutes on the bali kernel screen. now i cant get into the recovery option (reinstall packages) so i can root. it wont let me. it says no such file or directory. ive done this about 60 times and never came across this problem. i cant get root access to add other roms. can someone please point me in the right direction...PLEASE!

Yep. This certainly will occur after coming from gingerbread. Load up Odin and flash back to stock, reroot your phone as you normally would. Flash a 2.2 kernel and a 2.2 modem and try to flash. Its seems like you might have some Ginger Ghost left from gingerbread rom and its causing conflict coming back to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Are you able to get in download mode? If so you'll be ok.

go into download mode and odin to stock

you will use same files but different key combination to get into download mode...
That key combination is vol up+power for download mode...at least I'm pretty sure.

that is the problem though. I can get to download mode. I can go back to stock. I can download the root file. I can go to recovery . ....but I can not load it. red typing comea up when I try to reinstall packages and it says It cant install from sd. how can I obtain root if I cant load it from recovery? Can I use odin for your music rom? I just need root. Killing myself trying to figure this out.
Did you put the update.zip on the root of your SD. or in some other file.?
That is also my suspicion. You probably don't have the update.zip in the main directory of your phone's sd card. If its not there, you can simply transfer it back in via usb...
that was it. i had a file called rootupdate.zip and i thought that was the one but i guess it wasnt because nothing was happening. so i looked again in my external sd and still had the original update.zip file, transferred it and it worked. happily rooted again! thank you guys for your help. maby i should delete this thread now.
Instead of rooting JFD and flashing CWM just flash a voodoo+stock kernel. you'll have cwm faster than rooting then getting cwm

Similar to Masterslackers issue.
The phone was originally a stock Optus Éclair 2.1. About 6 months ago I decided to customize the i9000 with a custom Froyo 2.2.1 Rom (Doc's Rom Docs_XWJS3_Wipe-v9_1) from “The ROM Kitchen”. It worked really well and was much faster and responsive..
Yesterday, I decided to look at a move to Gingerbread and cook another ROM @ the ROM Kitchen, this time a Gingerbread 2.3.4 iteration.
The phone was rooted so I used Rom Manager to get into recovery mode where I could flash my new, Doc's JVR_No_Wipe-v8-00-08-22-10-09-4e6a8e4e86718.zip Rom.
All seemed to go well, but after the Flash, as the phone booted the first screen became filled with 100s of random coloured lines, then it transitioned to the normal Samsung start animation, but soundless.
After booting, I noticed that I no longer had a notification bar where battery, time, signal strength etc. was normally displayed atop the screen. I tried several different launchers to see if that was the issue, but to no avail. I tried to enable the notification bar using Go Launchers gesture setting (no go)
I tried rebooting the phone over and over, the notification bar would not return.
I was starting to lament my decision to flash when the following occurred.
I tried to re-enter recovery mode via ROM Manager to install a different ROM, but the phone bypassed it and then hung @ the Samsung I9000 logo screen. I then had to power the phone off before it would reboot into its UI. I could no longer reach recovery mode by any means.
Because I was getting nowhere and I had read that after flashing a new rom, root would often be lost, so I tried rerooting with "XXJVP-Complete-Rooting-Package" from
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s-on-android-2-3-4-xxjvp-firmware/ This also failed but it has also left me with a soft bricked phone.
The phone will not boot up or boot into recovery now, however It would still boot into (3 button) download mode.
I have tried various versions of Odin from v1.0 to v4.28 to ReFlash the phone back to life but with no success yet.
Using Odin, the phone hangs with no sign of progress and reports the following when left for 30minutes or so.
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
Anyone have any suggestions that might help to get the phone back.
Thanks, TeZ
So you didn't flash stock gingerbread before flashing custom rom? so you should first flash stock jvr and do hard reset after booting. Then you are safe to flash cwm capable kernel and custom rom.
For the odin problems, maybe you have kies running in background? Kill all kies processes and try again.
And I'd suggest reading all guides found in romkitchen thread..it saves lots of trouble. Hope that can fix your phone

Agree with above post, if you have Klies on your pc/laptop uninstall it, and re download the drivers, i have a good 2.3.4 tutorial and root 2.3.4 tutorial, both with Odin, let me know if interested. Also if you have heimdall installed then uninstall it also.
After you unistalled Kies (or at least stop it) and installed the drivers , pick a stock rom with bootloader from Ramad collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 .
I prefer Odin 1.82.

Thanks for your input, right now i need all the help I can get, hadn't heard of heimdall before. I guess its one more thing I could try if all else fails. But right now I'm going to try a few more conventional things with odin, like flash a stock rom etc.

Thanks for the info, running out of time today, will try for tomorrow
When moving from a froyo (2.2) rom to gingerbread, (2.3), you need the gingerbread bootloaders or you'll get all sorts of crap when turning on your phone (ie what you have).
Use odin to flash back to froyo, or flash a gingerbread firmware that comes with bootloaders. (I would recommend going back to froyo first to make sure everything is ok, since flashing bootloaders is a bit risky, as messing it up can permanently brick your phone)

Ok, here's where I'm at:
For the sake of simplicity I will detail what gave positive results rather than a tirade of what didn't.
Uninstalled Kies, rebooted
As instructed, went to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
downloaded: Odin v1.82
downloaded: Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Australia and New Zealand)
XWJVN/XXJVQ/XSAJV5/Sbl (CSC: XSA): Download (150 MB) (Build date: Sun Jul 10 11:30:54 KST 2011)
Loaded up Odin and followed instructions.
Flash went ahead as normal and I now have a working phone again, thanks to you DSGE, I'm a very happy man
So I now have Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed and running.
My only issue's now is, that.
1. Half my apps dont work now or force close even after a reinstall.
2. Some apps won't install at all IE; my fav launcher; Go Launcher
3. I no longer have root access so Rom Manager and Titanium backup wont work.
4. My Backup Pro, works after I rewrote the correct path to the External Sd, but do I want to do that just yet? and just how much data should I reinstate so I don't corrupt the new system?
What should I do now?
Install busybox?
do a hard reset?
Flash a different Rom that will work for me?
Thanks so very much for all the good advise.
Cheers
First root the phone, then either a different rom, or format system and re install 2.3.3 or which ever u just installed, i think ure apps are not working due to the phone needing a wipe/reset and cache cleared from clockwork recovery

Seems to relate to 2.1 to 2.2.1 didn't see any mention of 2.3.3. I'm afraid I'll stuff the phone if I use the old root files.
In normal running mode ODIN sees the Cappy, but when I switch to download mode it doesn't see it any more. I am trying to put my phone back to factory default so I can install CM7 but running into all kinds of problems. I did get the base system reinstalled using a One Click JAR that I found here on XDA. The phone seems to be ok with that.
ADB doesnt think there are any devices attached either when I am in download mode.
I did also try the Heimdall install methods and used their drivers, but that doesnt work either
All I am trying to do so far is get CWM installed
Any ideas?
Did you ever use Heimdall?

If you used a one-click jar file, I believe you used Heimdall, as Odin-based one-clicks would be .exe files. That being the case, if one of the one-click heimdalls worked, other ones should work as well.
If you don't mind me asking, which one-click did you use? What rom were you on when the other one worked, and what rom are you on now?
I installed this "SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click.jar" to get it to work in what I think is a factory default.
I am now trying to get the downloading to be recognized by Odin or Heimhall or anything/.
They all see the phone in normal mode but when in download they do not see it
Have you tried all of the USB ports on your computer? If you're on a desktop, make sure it's one of the ones in the back (directly attached to the motherboard). Also, if you haven't rebooted your computer, do that, and then see if the UCKB2 one-click sees your device.
You can also try the full heimdall package, as that has a tool that will quickly check to see if it sees a device in download mode.
ODIN doesnt see Cappy
Looks like the drivers from Heimhall mess up the ODIN drivers. I removed the drivers from System Drivers that the Heimhall installed and now the ODIN seems to see the device again.
Now I need to figure out what I need to put on the device to make it work

I just figured this out. Now what CWM file does ODIN want? After all of this I am lost! I will start back at the first post on adding CWM I guess...!!
It's going to want a kernel with CWM baked into it, or you can flash the JF6-based one click file to get back to stock without the 3e recovery error. From there you can just root, then copy the rom you want to install to your internal SD card. Rename it "update.zip", and flash that.
If memory serves me correctly, that's the simplest way to flash from Eclair. You can also try to Odin in a CWM-friendly Froyo kernel, or copy the cwm file out of the AIO captivate toolbox (copy it out, don't directly use the tool).
To get cwm, use a kernel with cwm as jimtheiss said, in a tar format. Older Talon kernels were in tar, as was Speedmod, and I think xcal's reoriented kernel had a tar version.
Open Odin, use the pda slot for the kernel, uncheck reboot. Connect phone. When the yellow box lights up, hit start. When completed, pull the battery,reinsert battery, use button combo to get in recovery.

I can't seem to find Eclair with CWM. I did find a I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 EXE with ODIN built into the EXE but whatever happens on that version ODIN didnt see the phone.
The ODIN 1.85 sees the phone, but I do not know what to download and what there downloaded file goes in ODIN.
I also ran the JAR file again and it did get back to 2.2 but then I dont seem to be able to get CWM working.
All I wanted to do it put CM7 on the phone. I guess I have to have Eclair or Froyo first to get the CM7? I think that is what I read. I havent tried it from GB
I would suggest following mrhaley's directions about flashing the kernel.
And here is the speedmod kernel.

My 2 cents....if you have so much difficulty using Odin/Heimdall, I would highly recommend staying away from CM7 or MIUI until you are really comfortable flashing stuff without hiccups. CM7 and MIUI are quite different beasts, compare to the ROms ur flashing.

The only thing he needs to flash with Odin/Heimdall is the kernel to get cwm. Its the same for most other GB roms. After you get cwm, its just flashing from cwm, with an extra factory reset and ROM flash.
