[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery error: signature verification failed!

Hi all,
I installed JPY (2.2.1) Rom on my SGS yesterday, rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
Tested the phone, everything is ok and the root is also ok.
Then installed Clockworkmod, flash cwm recovery 2.5.1.2, click on Backup, the phone automatic rebooted but presented my with a normal recovery screen.
In it I can do something like; a factory reset, clean card data, restart or click on update.zip (I thing that goes to the update.zip that cwm put on my sdcard).
But when I click it gives this error:
Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Tried everything... What can I do in order to cwm works and backups my sgs??
All the help is appreciated...
Thanks,
you loose 2e recover when going to froyo.. needed for clockwork ..
flash a kernel that restores it ie
chainfire/cf or speedmod or backlight notifiction ie bln kernel.

So what are you saying is that CWR doesn't work with 3e recovery? Only with 2e?
Because 3e does not allow unsigned zips hence the error message..

Thanks for the explanation,
Didn't know why it works with one and not the other...
Anyway, its working now, thanks for all the help!
For anyone that has the same problem, here is what I did:
Flashed the phone with I9000XXJPY and with Odin. You can find JPY here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2
Put PIT 512 in PIT and in PDA put the file JPY_JPY_JPY.tar (no repartition selected).
Shutdown the phone after it starts.
Start Odin again and in PDA put this file: CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
You can download it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
After that you can install CWM. When you click in backup and the phone restarts see if 2e restore appears in top of the screen if so all is ok.
Also, if a normal screen appears just click in update.zip and after that you will see the cwm screen.
In the cwm recovery screen the sgs buttons are like this: back button is the “enter” and the “menu” is the back button.
P.S. If you need to install TPH for Portuguese language just tell me, cause the CSC installed is KOR and you don't have TPH in CSC file to install.
Once again, Thanks to all who help me!

Great explanation but for the record (for anyone looking for a solution), if you're already on a 2.2 firmware, you can simple start at the step of flashing a custom kernel that supports CWM (i.e. there's no need to first flash to JPY).

How about
1. Repartition with a 512 pit from odin.
2. Flash Stock JM8 or JM9 (Usually i am flashing JM8 when things get messed)
3. Use update zip and install clockworkmod from it . (you will not have any signature errors because now you have recovery 2e)
4. Sometimes you will have to apply sd card update twice to get to CWM.
5. Vola, now you have working clockworkmod recovery and you can flash whatever the things you want with it

horrible suggestion you both need to search b4 posting.. been posted multiple at least 20 times now.. you DONT need to go install a new rom and blow everything away on your phone just to get 2e recovery so clockwork works.. search search.. there are kernels out there you can flash to get back 2e recovery

Oh yeah. forgot to mention it. there is a post that have a kernel which gives you recovery 2e on JPY firmware. (Don't know other firmwares has it or not)
Anyway, in my case i like to blow everything and start all over when i got messed up. because i don't use my sgs for very precious works. i'm just playing with it
Kudos to the lgkahn for bringing this kernel thing up

Okay..seems like this thread is getting nowhere..
Go to the android development section and look for hardcore's speedmod kernel. Download the latest version and flash it via Odin.
Btw, let me give you a tip once you are in hardcore's thread. PLEASE READ THE FIRST 3-4 POSTS AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
I don't think you are exerting enough effort to research here in the forum so I just gave you one of the simplest and shortest step to have CWM directly.

is it OK to use Stericssion autosin.bat to sign the update.zip downloaded by CWM and then flash it using recovery 3e? We will not have to flash the CF Kernel.

[Q] How to change my recovery mode from E3 to E2?

Hello,
I have a galaxy s with android 2.2.
I wan't to install Dearky 8 Rom on it.
I have root it using 4Zroot.
I have backup efs directory.
I have backedup my rom using rom meneger.
My recovery version is E3 and i have been told i need a E2 version to flash.
How can i downgread my version from E2 to E2?
Regards.
Install Speedmod and you will have Clockwork recovery for flashing Darkyy's rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You'll have to use the Odin version to flash speedmod. Once you've done that, you'll have 2e recovery.
Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 with match with your version with odin it will root and patch to be recovery2e ^^.
if u r not familiar with odin andflashing first instaal z4 control on your mobile phone. then copy the .tar file on ur SD card. then run it wth z4 control. goodluck
which one?

It depens on your current rom. go to settings>about phone>baseband version
the last 3 letters for example JPA,JPU,JPY... show ur rom type. if it is JPU you should download JPU file.
I guess the latest version works fine on ur rom

Or flash an older stock with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9731908&postcount=3025
Hello,
We are many frenchs with the same problem : our SGS is on Froyo with recovery 3e, with a I9000POJP5 ROM, which (AFAIK) is'nt listed in any of the kernel. (pda:I9000POJP5, phone:I90000XXJPP, csc:I9000BOGJP1)
We want to get recovery 2e to make our ROM backup, but since there aren't kernel with our ROM specified, we don't know which one use (speedmode? CF-root? JP6 specified?), and don't want to loose the possibility to backup our original ROM.
Have you some advice?
I have installed karnel version speedmod-k12i-500hz #108.
still when i am entering the recovery mode the blue and yellow indicate E3.
when i get the green screen it is indicate speedmod.
is it safe to flash darkey 8 using the green recovery mode by selecting "install zip from sd card" then "choose from sd card" then selecting my zip image?
can i backup my current rom using the green speedmod recovery screen?
thanks again.
Hi vemplord
Before you flash CWM recovery, you can try the attached file. Use root explorer and put the recovery file at "system/bin" and xbin contents at "system/xbin" and reboot. But of cause back-up first. I just did it and it works. Thanks to the dev who post all those files.
Good luck

At first you need a gingerbread rom with cwm. So you need the download mode to flash with odin. If you have a running GB rom, then you flash another rom.

You can put back the appropriate kernel into your SGN.
Can it be possible that my rom kingdroid 1.6 cant work with this kernel?
franco kernel ics(r1/r2/r3) is ok for ICS stock rom and also for kingdroid ICS
check your root
And how do i do that?

If you can paste a file into the system folder then you have root. You need a root file manager like es explorer available free in the Market. You need to go into the setting of this program, enable root and allow write on the system folder.
I checked and my phone is rooted, when im trying to flash the kernel from cwm app it says zlmage not found.
Whar should i do?
Install a kernel using the odin?
Can u just extract zimage and flash it using mobile odin... pc odin wud increase the flash counter and even bring triangle with exclamation on boot screen...
OK, that's what i did,
i downloaded the r3 kernel zip, turned it into a tar file using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644240
flashed via odin and that's it. everything is back to normal, i can enter the recovery
By the way, that yellow triangle, i got it since my first custom rom, what that means? and the counter to?
Thanks for the help guys.
that means, your warranty has been voided if you show up to a service center with that yellow triangle. there are ways to remove, but that includeds re-flashing kernels and/or roms, removing the triangle notice (and flash counter) and doing everything from scratch.
search the forum.

mate i had the same problem. no matter what i did i couldn't get kies to recognise my phone. You need to use odin and manually upgrade your phone to gingerbread. once you do that kies will work again. i can't remember where i found it but the instructions are in the forums somewhere. once you have done this it will be much easier to move forward with root etc... hope this helps.

Try to install Samsung Kies, do a Firmware upgrade (If possible) and then try the Odin (which version you have?) again... This way worked for me.
Maybe it's the USB cable?
Yes, try use cwm flashable zip I think it available on this forum, but I found mine on Google search. But forget link -_-! Sorry
