I've been trying to flash Cyanogenmod 7 on my Captivate for a while now. I'm rooted and unlocked with ROM Manager installed and flashed Clockworkmod Recovery.
When I go into Android recovery mode and hit "reinstall packages", the meter fill about 1/3 of the way and then says:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
I also tried restarting in recovery mode from ROM manager, but it just sent me to Android recovery.

A couple of things first.
You should've posted this in the Q&A section, it's a more appropriate place for it and you'll get more help.
Do you already have CWM installed?
What are you currently running on your phone?

My phone is running the latest version of Cyanogen. (also with Amon_RA's recovery image)
I got the zip, changed it to update.zip, placed it on the root of my SD card, and attempted to flash.
I get the error
"E: no signature (411 files)"
"E: Verification failed"
"installation aborted."
Do I need to go back to the stock ROM before I can apply this update?
Maybe the recovery image has to be the stock recovery image?
First thing I'm going to try is installing the version that has root preinstalled.
I'll update after.

you NEED to flash the pre-rooted version if you're going to flash via recovery.
yep, that worked. Thanks.
Got the OTA notification yesterday. Decided to install it.
The problem is is that I have a custom recovery image. Android system recovery or something like that. When the OTA update put the phone in recovery mode, the instillation failed because the packet was not signed (assuming this recovery can't read official signed zips)
I also downloaded it from google and the same thing happened. I clicked "flash zip from sdcard" under the recovery and it gave me the same error.
Also, this won't unroot me right? If it does can I just adb root it again?
Also I've heard alternative keyboards have issues, but I also heard if you uninstall and reinstall them it fixes the issue.
So how can I install 2.2.1? I don't really want to reset the phone to factory. Any other options?
Also, the OTA notification is gone, so I have to flash the zip most likely.
And... I rooted using adb. Will this unroot it (I know it breaks one-click root)

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Use Amon RA 1.8.0.x or ClockworkMod, they will both flash anything, signed (release or test) or not.
This will unroot you, but the rageagainstthecage exploit still works.
I tried both amon ra and clockwork. Amon ra gave me this

E:No signature (188 files)

clockwork gave me something similar. I believe it just failed.
This is where I'm getting the update from
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRG83-from-FRF91.c8847c98.zip
I mean it looks entirely legit. I renamed it to update.zip.
Edit: I tried Amon Ra 1.8.0 (as it is supposed to allow singed and unsigned packages) and it still failed, I got this one this time...

The Status 7 error was a similar error i got when I tried to flash KoR 2.2 (no cyanogen). I believe it meant your boot or kernel sector has bad areas or something. The rom dev released a fix with a new rom with smaller kernel.
Hi, I installed ROM Manager v4.8.0.8 from android market, then i turn it on press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery it write that it was installed secesfully and when i'm press Reboot into Recovery it reboots but where is writed in yellow letters "Installing package" ther is problem it writes "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E:signature verification failed" by the way on the top it's writed Android system recovery <3e>. Phone is rooted.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english and i hope that you understand what is the problem about i writed.
Hi, the "problem" you're encountering is normal. You can use recovery normally

Hi
im trying to upgrade to cm 12.1 following this guide
Ive downloaded the files and installed twrp and coppied the cm12.1.zip and gaaps.zip to sd card (and checked with md5)
however when entering twrp and trying to flash the cm12.1 (following a complete wipe) I get an error saying "e: whole-file signature verification failed"
the s5mini then reboots
Ive search around the net and people surgets I should turn off verification in TWRP. that option isnt present in the TWRP menu.
What should i do now?
I have same problem
My problém was that i have not rooted device...
Solved
I appears that you first have to flash the file inside the Odin archive and then afterwards flash the TWRP file. Then your'e in business
