[Q] Problem with applying update.zip - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just upgraded to to the leaked official froyo but now everytime i attempt to apply an update.zip file i receive the following error:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have tried this with various files including roots, voodoo and the microbes live wallpaper.
Facts that may help:
I used this tutorial:
http: / / samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/2921-How-to-use-Odin-to-upgrade-to-Froyo-from-Eclair
I am rooted via Z4 root (i attempted to apply update.zip files before rooting and it that didn't work either).

The froyo firmwares come with 3e recovery which only allows that signed update files be applied. The easiest thing to is flash a rom that states it includes 2e recovery or flash a kernel that states the same. For example, I flashed speedmod kernel.
Check the dev forum for the downloads and related instructions.

Try cf-root, it changes recovery to 2e that allows installing unsigned files.

[Q] Can't flash ClockworkMod Recovery mode

I have 3e Froyo, rooted with superoneclick and when I'm flashing to clockwork it goes straight to the stock recovery mode,
Do I need to root with another program ? (rooting manually gives me the "signature failed" error)
Thanks
Look at instructions in this thread to get 2e recovery first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886112
Once you have 2e recovery then you use it to apply update.zip of CWM without signature error.
IMPORTANT : Make sure you download the correct version of CF-root for your firmware.

[Q] verification failed

I have a bell sgs and I had an issue with booting into recovery so I followed this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810686 to allow the three button mode working.
I just updated to bell froyo LH2 and when I try to install any update.zip in recovery mode it says verification failed.
-I am not rooted
-I have not added anything extra past the original three button fix which I did on 2.1 before I flashed to 2.2
2.2 has Recovery 3e which doesnt allow unsigned ZIPs to be flashes. You need to get recovery 2e. You can get it from CF-root kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Bell froyo LH2, is this the newest Bell version? I can't find anything about it. I am on JL2 and I thought this was the newest one.
I just reinstalled Windows, so I will install Kies now and give it a try.

[Q] cant install the voodoo lagfix

hello all.
I downloaded the last voodoo :update.zip
I put it in the SD card not in folders,but when I get to the recovery mod and choose the Apply update.zip it wrote me signature verification failed
What can I do?
my phone isnt rooted but I think I dont need to root it...
I have 2.2 android with 2.6.32.9
froyo.jhjpa
thanks for helping
Hello!
In recovery have you tried "-Install zip from sdcard" and scrolled to the zipfile instead of "-Apply..."?
Do you already have a custom kernel with "2e" recovery ie CWM? I think "3e" recovery cant flash unsigned zips.

I just flashed mine with Odin.

[Q] Need some help with flashing a zip

Hi
I just installed XXJVK with bootloader and root, now Im trying to flash some of $omator's modifications (Link)
For some reason Im having a problem, says the file is not signed. Tried to copy files manually but that didnt work either.
Can someone please point me in the right direction here? been at it for hours

I think you need 2E recovery in order to install unsigned updates, you can simply flash CF-Root Kernel which should enable you to install unsigned updates.

[Q] android system recovery <3e>

Ok... from the top - I've done a good amount of flashing custom ROMs (B & N Nook and Captivate) and reading on forums but I'm currently stumped. I can't boot into the ClockworkMod recovery - instead I go to the stock android system recovery <3e>. This has been my complete procedure:
1 - Odin3 one-click downloader and connect phone in downloading... mode, click "start" to go back to stock
2 - odin one click "master clear"
3 - Samsung Kies update to Android 2.2 froyo and then Android 2.3 Gingerbread
4 - One click root
5 - Put .zip of ROM on internal sd root
6 - Odin3 v1.82 load ClockworkMod Recovery .tar
Now here is where I am stuck - I have the most up to date ClockworkMod Recovery but I can't boot into anything but the stock android system recovery <3e> (either through the app or by holding volume up and down and powering on) - where if I change the zip file name to update and try to apply update from sdcard I get an error that the signature verification failed. I'd like to install the latest build of ICS but I am just stuck - any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
You'll need a kernel with the non-3e recovery baked in. You can either flash a Gingerbread kernel with CWM (e.g. Boog's kernel) or flash a stock gingerbread rom with CWM in the kernel.
Ok - thank you. I have downloaded that Heimdall one-click .jar file. However I'm having trouble opening it... I feel really foolish ont his but if I extract the files I see a readme file that says I shouldn't be reading it and I have gone the wrong way. But if I open the unextracted file it tries to open in WinRAR and again non of the files seem like a program file that I can just open and run. Sorry about this...
No problem - just double-click the file. The .jar is an executable file that will install the necessary drivers, open the heimdall program, and get everything ready to flash. Once it's ready and sees your phone in download mode, all you have to do is click flash and it will do the rest.
I have now figured out ICS - I think I had the wrong .zip I was trying to install... Does the ICS allow for overclocking?
Ok - my apologies again for keeping going with this (but my main goal is to get to ICS) with that kernel it wouldn't let me install ICS (but I was able to do the latest CyanogenMod). On the Team Hacksung Wiki page FAQ on Galazy S it looks like CM7 kernels don't work - did the one I installed from the above thread have a CM7 kernel?
Does anyone know of a specific kernel I can use to go from stock 2.3.5 so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and install the ICS zip?
I'm sorry - I needed to update or install Java... Then I needed to install the correct drivers - automatically routed to this through the Heimdall program so it was easy enough (I think this has to do with switching between ODIN and Heimdall). Thank you again so much for the help. Time to give ICS a shot
YouTube ics video I had the same issue boog kerneral with cwm baked in it att boot loaders follow the instructions I'm using works great

Flash back to stock 2.1 which includes the 2e recovery which doesn't have signature checks. With that you can flash a cwm zip and get into the clockworkmod recovery. On the captivate you gotta reinstall the the update zip twice, once to install cwm, the other to actually go into cwm.

Click to collapse
I wouldn't recommend flashing back to 2.1, as it is much easier to simply flash a kernel with CWM baked in.
That is also an option, both able to be done with several clicks of a button.

any help?
i try to enter to APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP
but have the same error :
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifcation failed
i have galaxy i9000b
also have the superuser , 2.2.1 froyo and wanna upg to ice cream or anything new
i read i have to change the android systema recovery <3e> to 2e ??
here i found a lynck with 3e-fix-unzip-uninstall
but these is for Captivate and doesn't work for i9000b ?
Yea 3e recovery has a signature check, and clockworkmod zips are not officially "signed." Either flash back to stock 2.1 eclair which has 2e recovery w/o signature checks, or flash a custom kernel with cwm already included, as suggested above. I cannot speak for if the modded 3e recovery will work on an i9000b.

Edit: this 3e mod should work on the i9000b, and has worked great for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
