I have rom manager and flashed my clockwork recovery.... but when i choose to reboot into clockwork recovery it goes to my regular recovery menu(i think).... then i go down to reinstall packages and i looks like it starts a process(i see a status bar) but it never finishes the update and says E:failed to verify whole-file singature E: signature verification failed installation aborted. what am i doing wrong? i am new to android rooting but i was very savvy at hacking(jailbreaking and unlocking) iphones. i have 2.2 froyo rooted on my captivate and i'm trying to get serendipity 3.0....... thanks for any help!
Wrong section, let flames engulf you
You need to swap kernels or flash back to stock. Leaked 2.2 will not use unsigned zips like clockwork
how do i swap kernels?

You can follow my guide here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213 , takes literally 10seconds, but others will tell you to flash with Odin

Hi, first post so go easy on me if this has been asked before!
I'm basically having problems in recovery mode. When I try to do a Nandroid backup there is no option for it. When I select reinstall packages the status says failed to install update.zip or something along the lines of that. Same thing happens when I try to flash a rom. Anybody know whats going on?
Did you install cwm recovery using rom manager?
Yeah I did. I flash the latest version with rom manager. I see the update.zip in the internal sd card folder but im still getting the same message.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Did you flash the leaked froyo? If so you have 3e recovery, and clockwork recovery will not work. You will have to flash back to stock using odin. You can find it in the captivate development thread. Make sure you are flashing jh6. All of the custom roms have fixed this problem with the recovery not working with clock work
If you are not on the leaked froyo I have nothing

I'm almost sure he has to be on Froyo. 3e recovery requires signed .zips which is where he's having the issues with.
My nexus has been a great platform for running roms for quite a while now, but after installing CM6 as of late it has been really picky about what it can flash. For instance the only way I got it to install the normal stock rom afterwards was by putting it in as passimg.zip. Every time I try to flash something to it now, the signature verification fails. Anyone else have this problem?
Edit: If I install a rooted room, it gives me
"assert failed: !less_than_int(1277930906, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))
E: Error in /sdcard/update blah blah .zip
(Status 7) Installation Aborted
Did you lose root?
I don't think so, I could try unlocking the boot loader again but it says unlocked at the top already...and it won't even flash normal signed passion roms...
what recovery do you have? have yopu tried fastboot flash recovery? like amon rah
I ended up using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
to fix it.
It still refuses any update.zip file that isnt OTA...
every signature varification fails instantly. So I guess until I throw this phone in the trash pile or just use it for an MP3 player..its not going to be doing anything in the way of modding
If you've used the original shipping ROM tutorial/passimg, then you'll have a stock recovery that will of course only install released signed things.

right and I flashed clockworks recovery to get it off the standard. I guess I could go out and get Root again without it, but at this point I don't see the point with Gingerbread coming out. I'm just glad to not have a paper weight sitting next to my computer again.
btw Calling Tmo/HTC doesn't help. Most of the guys there don't have a clue what FRG83 is even lol
Keep in mind, if you have the stock on there, it will wipe out your custom recovery and restore it to the stock recovery every time you restart the phone.
So if you flashed Clockwork, after a reboot the stock recovery will be there again.
Yes amonra and cwr have options to toggle off verification best to start with amonra recovery then go through the steps
Hi Guys,
So here is my problem:
I updated my Captivate from Samsung to Froyo.
I rooted my with Super One Click.
I then downloaded ROM Manager from the Market.
Then used it to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery 2.5.1.2)
My problem is that when I boot into recovery mode, I click on reinstall packages and it gives me the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I am not running J16, my baseband says I896UXJL1.
I want to make sure that this works so that I can look into using other ROMs.
Thanks in advance.

i believe this is caused by recovery 3e when you tried to get into recovery using rom manager. it requires some kind of signature of the rom.
you need to copy update.zip to your sdcard root folder first and then shut down your phone and use the key combo to get into the recovery mode instead. you may need to apply the changes twice in the recovery mode.
another way to do that is by using android sdk.
I would first try moving update.zip to sdcard (check for updates first), then try using the 3 button to get to recovery and apply it. If that doesn't work, I'd say your probably on a bad recovery, and you should probably flash to stock (Eclair
) using Odin 1 click, available at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
You can also read there how to use it. I would flash to stock, then go to a proper 2.2 ROM that is widely supported (Perception, Phoenix). Good luck, don't brick your phone.
This makes sense but:
I already have an update.zip in my root folder of my internal SD. Is there something I'm missing here?
Whenever I try to put the device in recovery mode to backup the current ROM using ROM Manager, it fails giving message:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
This has started happening after I installed officially released 2.2 Froyo from ATT. I do not want to flash new ROM without backing the current one.
can anyone help?
it might be the 3e recovery thats causing the problem because the stock one does signature checks before it flash stuff.

this place has a good write up on stock 3e recovery.
http://www.dkszone.net/bypass-e-signature-verification-fail-issue-on-samsung-vibrant-android-2.2
Any reason why you want to back up a stock rom?
It is fine now....
I just flashed cm7 on the phone...and every thing is working fantastic now...we can leave the issue behind now...
Thanks a TON for the reply....
I'm running rooted stock 2.2 on an I897, and I am unable to find a solution to get into CWM recovery instead of 3e. I've tried replacing the recovery file, chmod 777 the /system/bin fails, mounting the directory does not help either, reinstalling ROM Manager and reflashing CWM does not help either.
When I hit "Reinstall Packages" in 3e...
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Am I missing something?
EDIT:
I got the AIO toolbox to work. After selecting a ROM, I get the same error as above. What am I doing wrong?
Flash a 2.2 kernel via odin that has cwm. Imo, its the easiest way.

Which one would you recommend?
I also forgot about sgs kernel flasher app. Sorry, it's been awhile since I've dealt with 3e recovery. I've used this kernel in the past
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989298
Install sgs kernel flasher
Put kernel.zip on ur sd card
BU current kernel via sgs kernel flasher.
Flash via sgs kernel flasher.
After flash screen will sit on overstock screen for awhile. You'll hear a robotic women talking. Be patient, this is normal

^^ sorry the above link is not a link. I'm on my phone and for some reason copied links only seem to actually paste as links half the time.
Read this [HOW TO] e:signature verification error/aka 3e recovery mod and workarounds , it's well documented
As for a kernel, most 2.2 kerenls have CWM built into them, so , go back to the thread you choose your rom from and see if the Dev has recommended one , if not keep reading to see what the majority of people are using. The Dev will also explain the best way to flash said kernel and rom. I'm going to assume this is your first flash so read, read, read ! And if you are still not comfortable go to youtube and search for specific rom , there is probably a vid on how to.
My bad, look under this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161102 [HOW TO] e:signature verification error/aka 3e recovery mod and workarounds
Having some issues as well.
I'm rooted on stock froyo from ATT. I have installed the no sig recovery file so i can flash cwm following instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052991
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
to no avail. After reflashing cwm, I try to reboot into recovery and my phone gets stuck on att splash screen...wtf !!!
I cannot use odin since i don't have access to a pc and heimdall does not work on my mac...sigh...
Help anybody ??
update to my problem: I re-installed stock recovery file in /system/bin and I can't go back to the 3e recovery screen using any of the buttons combo methods ( and i used to be able to?!!_)
Ok remedied my own problems and hopefully this will help others
(mods feel free to move this to anywhere relevant since i cannot post to dev)
After hours of frustration, victory!!!
as stated above I have an att captivate stock froyo 2.2 rooted with superoneclick
when I used the 3 button combo it allowed me to go into 3e recovery (useless)
when I installed the 3e mod recovery no sig http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213 I was no longer able to enter 3e recovery using any of the 3 button combo methods (see post above) and therefore I could not reinstall packages and flash CWM. Trying to reboot into recovery from Rom Manager did not work either (stuck everytime on att splash screen!)
What finally did it was replacing recovery file with method in above thread, flashing cwm and then booting into recovery with adb: adb reboot recovery
I then choose the option to reinstall packages twice and there it is CWM...Bingo
