[Q] Captivate stuck at signature error during reocery. - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just recently updated to 2.2 Froyo and I can't install clockmod at ALL.
I literary spent 3 hours googling and trying to solve it but no luck ...
Anyways, everytime I try to "update" my phone to install CM, I would get this error:
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E:signature verification failed"
I tried everything, renaming the .zip, using different version of CM, ect.
Note : I tried using ROM manager also, it doesn't help at all :/
Thanks and appreciate the help .

Yes sir.
I used SuperOneClick root and everything went fine..but I guess it won't hurt to re-root it again.

doesnt matter. unless you change your kernel or flash back to stock, you CANNOT use clockwork mod with stock 2.2

Where do u get DXJP8?
If this DXJP8 is real, please upload to somewhere for sharing because it seem to be the updatest version.
Official Asia Froyo?
is DXJP8 the official Asia Froyo updates that we are going to get next week?
Ahh. Jp8 has installed 3e recovery mode bootloader. The way people bypass that for jpm is to flash a rooted kernel via odin which also restores 2e recovery. You need to hunt down a jp8 root kernel.

[Q] Will 2.3.4 break root on my N1?

So yesterday I finally found some time to root Gingerbread on my Nexus One. We're moving to Germany from the U.S. in a month and the last couple of weeks I just didn't have any time to get it done. I had my N1 rooted when I was on Froyo and was desperate to root it again on GB.
Last night I set a couple of hours aside to familiarize myself with the GingerBreak exploit and ended up with a rooted N1 and Gingerbread 2.3.3
Here's the funny part... not 30 minutes after rooting I get an OTA notification to update to 2.3.4. Go figure!
Can anyone confirm that 2.3.4 will break root on the N1? If so, will the GingerBreak exploit still work to root GB again?
What would be the preferred/easiest method to upgrade to 2.3.4 and retain root?
2.3.4 will break root. just use the gingerbreak app again and youll be rooted
I figured it would break root but just needed some confirmation!
I didn't actually use the .apk but ran the exploit myself. I think this time around I may just use the .apk though.
Is it confirmed that the app will root 2.3.4?
Just boot into recovery, flash the update as file from SD, and then flash the su zip...

This. Not sure why people are so confused like this. This has been the process since the Nexus One launched.
The new OTA break the root
This morning i have rooted my nexus one and root died.
I am trying Gingerbreak 1.2 after 25 minutes i cancelled it.

All right, let me recap so I'm not missing anything.
1. I download the 2.3.4 update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061270, rename it update.zip and place it in the root of my SD
2. Then I download the su zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and also place it in the root of my SD
3. Then I reboot into Clockwork and apply the update.zip
4. Once that's done I DO NOT reboot and apply the su zip
Is that it or am I missing something?
Don't apply it as an update, because your phone will reboot once it's done. If you reboot, you will lose your custom recovery. Use the "install zip from SD" option...
I tried to apply the update as zip from sd card and I got the following error, which seems to have something to do with google books
apply_patch_check(''/system/app/BooksPhone.apk'',numbers and letters
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas? Maybe it is because I had integrate Books into ROM? Any solutions?
Thanks a lot.

I'm getting the same error. I thought maybe it was because I had deleted Google Books from my system apps but after restoring the BooksPhone.apk I still get it. Not sure what the problem is.

this is only for those who havent flashed the un-edited update i guess. I flashed the original update too soon and it removed the root access on my wifes N1. I tried flashing the su last night it didnt work, really frustrating... ahihihihi
I was thinking if I flash the backup on 2.3.3 will that bring back the root access? or at least I can already use Gingerbreak then? ty

To do what? To root? This procedure is to, in this case, update to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 without loosing root.
Now I have an additional question. I wasn't able to use the original update file from Google, presumably because I had deleted the Google Books app. I kept getting the above-mentioned error.
Just out of curiosity, how could I get Google Books back so the update would run? Just placing it in /system/app didn't seem to work.
Not that it really matters, I used the modified update file that danger-rat posted, but for the future I would like to know how I can avoid this error.

Either the rom is not the IncS version or the file was damaged during download possibly from using a dl manager. Just try a different rom.
Is your phone S-OFF?

OP might be right. What I have experienced with my IS is that every single ROM I install, it never boots into the newly flashed ROM.
I have got S-Off, obviously. THX for asking.
I gained S-Off via revolutionary method, am able to flash any CM7 nightlies, it boots fine, but as soon as I flash any other Sense ROM, I dont get my phone to boot into the ROM.
When I flash the ROM, it finishes, atleast it displays the message at the end, and then it reboots, and stuck at the HTC Logo.
I pull out the battery, relaunch Recovery again, reload either CM7 or the Default Stock ROM using nandroid backup and get the phone to work... but custom ROMs are impossible to flash and boot into.
Any inputs by anyone?
I don't think I haven't followed the S-Off method incorrectly as I am able to flash CM7 and I also have got Root Access.
Thx in advance.
Cheers!!!

Hey mate, did you check the md5 sum matches?
In CWM:
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Then Flash you rom, reboot and wait for it all to install.
Are you wiping the dalvik cache and doing a full wipe before installing? And have you checked to see whether you have signified checking on or off?

[Q] Captivate Root Update

So after hours of searching i found out I can just flash an update from the recovery to root it.
All of the updates that I've tried have given me the error
"E: signature verification failed"
Can anyone give me any ideas or upload the correct file for me?
p.s. I can't super one click or anything cause the usb port doesn't work on my phone :/

Look at TRusselo's signature. He has a work around that doesn't require usb if you have some experience with root explorer.

[Q] Parse error help

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted Motorola Droid, running Android version 2.2. I downloaded a .APK file, and whenever I try to install it, it gives me a message saying "Parse error." This is a .APK that has worked on all my previous rooted phones, does anyone know how to fix this? By the way, I've already enabled unknown sources.

If you're installing from the SD Card using a file manager, maybe try redownloading. If the same apk installs on a later android version then it mean it's not available for Android 2.2.
You could try installing a custom rom. There's not many to choose from but they work.
