I was having similar problem flashing before with same error. I used cf-root by chainfire and its working really well now. Maybe this will help you. link below

Use one of the above 2 posters options. The main problem is that you need to downgrade from the Froyo 3e recovery to 2e recovery, which is included in most custom kernels. After flashing CWM will work perfect.
Thanks for the help guys, installed SpeedMod and now it works fine!

Hi everyone.
I installed ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but even though the phone said it successfully flashed it, when I enter recovery mode I get the stock recovery. I even tried using the apply sdcard:update.zip option, but it gives me an error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I even considered installing Amon RA's recovery, but there doesn't seem to be a version compatible with this phone. What should I do? Is there another recovery you'd suggest me to install? If not, what can I do to get the ClockworkMod Recovery to work? Any help would be much appreciated
You must have recovery 3e. Oh well, just flash hardcore's speedmod latest kernel in the Android development section via Odin to get cwm.

Sorry if my questions are too basic, but I'm a new Android user.

When I enter the stock recovery mode, it says Android system recovery <3e>. Does that mean anything?

On the creator's blog it says that SpeedMod "works on all stock Froyo ROMs XXJPO/DXJPA/XWJPA and popular custom ROMs", although his thread doesn't state so. My ROM is Froyo I9000BUJP7; am I safe installing this kernel? Also, I don't know if it matters, but my phone is network locked.
Thanks for your help.
The reason you can't flash cwm is because you have recovery 3e which does not allow unsigned .zip
You must have 2e recovery. There is a way to get 2e but you gotta search for it. I'm on the road driving so I am a bit pre occupied to search for you.
Easiest way for you is to flash the latest speedmod kernel via Odin.

As android.francis said your best bet is to flash a kernel with 2e. I use cf root it always does the job for me.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I am having the same issue, now installed the Speedmod kernel, how can I enter the CWR now?!
My stock recovery still says 3e
Hello,
I had the same problem and I used cf root too. It works very well and if you use a stock rom you will find the rigth kernel there. I only had some problems to find the rigth kernel for my branding firmeware, because this I flashed a stock rom before and after cf root.
Clockwordmod Rom Mgr boots into 3e but up button/power/menu button boots speedmod 2e.
Here is a weird one I think. I installed stock JVH 2.3.3 (from wuala site I9000XWJVH.7z) which I rooted with CF-Root (CF-Root-WX_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar) and then applied Speed mod (speedmod-kernel-k15h-t24-300hz.tar). If I press the 3 button combination I get the speedmod 2e recovery and can backup and restore, install update.zips and reformat partitions to ext4 just fine. So far so good. All updates performed using ODIN.
Here is the problem. I installed a 'paid for' version of ClockworkMod Rom manager (from the market) but when I select backup or 'reboot into recovery' I get the stock 3e kernel and it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi all, i just recently rooted my i9000m with psneuter on superoneclick, easy stuff, i came from a desire z so in comparison the root process was much easier, anyways i
went to rom manager, flashed CWM, reboot into recovery, and voila, stock 3e recovery, no reinstall packages option, and apply update.zip not working. What's wrong?
baseband version I9000UGJL2 btw
crap just realized this is in wrong section, please disregard
Facing the same problem here. It seems the froyo has recovery 3e which doesnot allow the unsigned zips to flash. U need to get 2e recovery to flash clockworkmod and then you can install the custom roms, backup and restore etc etc....
There is a video tutorial on you tube using speedmod kernel and Odin to get recovery 2e in stock 2.2...

Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to get CWR to flash onto ATT TAB with 3e Recovery yet? I try couple method on here doesn't work. If you did it successfully please shed some light on this because not many ROM can flash with ODin.
Thank you,
If you are on a Roto rom, them you can flash CWM3 by using the kernal from chainfire. It's probably down a few pages, butt it works great.
Hello.
So i've got a problem with my I9000.
I've upgraded it to froyo, official release, so i'm stuck with the 3e recovery.I recently flashed the voodoo lagfix kernel via Odin. I would like to get clockwork recovery to replace 3e, but I understand i have to flash it via Odin, too. My question is : Is clockwork's kernel going to replace voodoo? If so, how can i have them both?
Thanks a lot in advance.
if you upgrade offical froyo then u must first do a root..the root files can be find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108...download correct root for your firmwire phone...then flash it tru odin..when u done with that u must download a rom manager from market...and install it to get clockwork mode =)
I wouldn't follow the previous poster's advice.
If you're going to use cwm, why do you want stock firmware? Try flashing speedmod kernel to get cwm, which has built in root and lagfix accesable from recovery. Or just go to a custom fw like docrom kitchen.
Best procedure for going custom with the sgs is a single flash of speedmod w/ cwm from odin, and then flash anything else via cwm.

Installed Simply Honey 2.3.4, cant acess clockwork recovery, try to apply update.zip in stock recovery but i get E:signature verification failed.
You need a kernel with CWM
Update.zip only worked with 2e recovery. As per above post, flash a custom kernel with cwm included.
i little more info please
Can someone please link to a working kernal and Odin instructions on how to flash
Thanks so much
