A few weeks ago I flashed the Cognition V2.2 ROM and everything was fine until it started getting twitchy a few days ago. I tried to use the ROM Manager to restore the backup that was created during the flash but I keep getting the same error message and the phone does not seem to go into the Clockwork Mod Recovery but stays in the Android system recovery. The message says that the whole-file signature has failed to verify and that the installation was aborted. Does anyone have any idea how I can get my phone back to normal?

Common knowledge that the version of Cognition you are running is not supported by ROM Manager, it is 3e recovery and Clockwork needs 2e. You can update to the newer Cognition which has 2e recovery. I recommend you read the facts sheet befor flashing, the method you should use is Odin one click back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989, then master clear so that nothing is lingering from your previous setup, backup everything from your internal storage to your pc first, this will wipe everything from your internal, replace it after you finish Master clear. you should only replace the update.zip, ClockworkMod and your music, photo's and that stuff. Backup your apps using Titanium Backup.
Here's the link for the new Cognition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786532
So I tried what you recommended and got my phone back to the stock condition but I'm still not able to use ROM manager or flash another ROM. After I root the phone I install ROM Manager, flash it to the current edition and then try to reboot into recovery but when it gets to recovery it gives the following error message...
--Installing from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Also the header of the screen states that I am in Android system recovery <2e>. If I am not mistaken, shouldn't I be in recovery <3e>? If so how do I get there? I've tried flashing the stock Kernel but that didn't work and I even installed the internal betas correctly but no cigar.

did you really read Rhi's post?
in order to use rom manager (clockwork mod) you must be using 2e!
my brain hurts from all the lack of searching people in this forum seem to have a problem with

LOL, +1
Touche, but the error still remains. Does anyone have any positive ideas? Like I stated before, I still cannot put my phone into clockwork mod recovery.

so put it in download mode, and use ODIN one click back to stock...then leave it the hell alone....
Like I said, I've already used Odin. Everything is back to stock except for the Kernel and a stock kernel install with Odin doesn't seem to work. Odin says that the install passed but nothing changes on the phone itself. All things considered, the phone is stock but not capable of going into Clockwork Mod recovery.

When you go into stock recovery now is it version 2e or 3e?

if you used the one click back to stock then you are on the stock kernel.....what makes you think you are not on the stock kernel?
The recovery is 2e
I believe that the kernel is not stock because when I look at the phone information it says that the kernel is
2.6.29

I'm not sure that it is stock or not but my gut tells me that it isn't.

Rom manager will work just fine with 2e recovery. Just delete any update.zip files you have in your home directory - then open rom manager and reflash clockworkmod the cappy - then you should be good to go.
As for whether or not that is the stock kernel I am not sure, but how can you tell just by looking at it if you don't know which kernel is the stock one?
I've mounted my internal and external sd cards and removed any updates but it still gives the same error. After I used the odin one-click to flash the stock rom I used the master clear as recommended. Now, if I am not mistaken, shouldn't that erase all of my user data? I reinstalled my espn app so I could follow my football team and the app still remembered my preferences and favorites. This makes me think that the master clear did not finish the job. Thoughts?

Master clear should've done that. If you are restoring your apps and settings using Titanium Backup then you are restoring user data which you should not do.
When you Master Clear is your device on and on the home screen, it needs to be. Don't Master Clear in Recovery mode or Download mode or it does nothing. Also you need to have debugging on.

That is the stock kernel. Just so you know if you are running stock with root you can simply place the update.zip from the Clockwork folder, you should have backed up before flashing and Master clear, back into your internal. ClockworkMod does fail on first attempt to flash sometimes, it happenned to me the first time I flashed it, the second time worked like a charm. Are you rooted? You need root to use ROM Manager and debugging should be on.

After you deleted the update.zip then opened rom manager and flashed clockworkmod it should of put a new update.zip on your phone in your home directory - can you confirm that this is the case?
Also you may not have had a successful master clear - you may want to do it again then redo odin3 one click. Also if I am remembering correctly I believe you have the option to clear cache or user data or both in stock recovery you may want to try that as well.
It all works now. The issue was with the master clear. I guess that I did try to run it in the download mode. Thanks a million guys, i really appreciate it.
Maybe I was a bit premature on that. ROM Manager works beautifully but I cannot install updates or flash a custom ROM. The Manager was able to backup the system correctly and enter clockwork mod recovery but it cannot install the update. If the update is on the internal SD it says that...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
and if the update is on the external SD it says that there is no such file or directory. Am I doing it wrong or is there still an underlying issue?

/sdcard/update.zip should only boot into clockwork recovery from stock recovery or boot to stock recovery from clockwork recovery if you flashed clockworkmod correctly from rom manager - and so long as you are not renaming any other files as update.zip after you flash clockworkmod recovery.
Which custom rom are you attempting to install?
I got it. The zip file was corrupted. Now, should I be able to boot into normal clockwork mod recovery with the Cognition 2.2 Beta 7 cuz when I try clockwork recovery it boots into normal recovery? I'm still a little hazy about all this.

When you first boot into recovery it should be stock recovery. While in stock recovery when you select reinstall packages it will reboot into clockwork recovery - if you flashed clockworkmod recovery correctly from rom manager and it put the appropriate update.zip into your home directory.
And just to note: don't be renaming any files as update.zip if you are using clockwork recovery to flash something.
First of all I hope this is in the right place: I did do a search but still couldn't find any help.
Here's my problem:
After getting a (delicious) taste for customisation after rooting and lagfixing, I decided to give custom ROMs a go. Hours of indecision passed and ultimately I settled on Doc and Stefunel's magical ROM. Due to currently being on 2.1, I chose to follow the set of instructions provided on the page for doing so.
All was well up until the very final step. When rebooting the phone through ClockworkMod Recovery, instead passing the Samsung boot screen into the Android system, the phone boots into CWM recovery. I've tried doing another factory reset, and reinstalling the ROM to no avail. I've also tried mounting "/mnt/sdcard" in order to place another ROM to flash from, but I keep getting a message telling me to insert a disk (what happens when you don't mount).
That's pretty much all there is to it. I'd be massively grateful for any help!

If you have made a backup of your apps then flash the JPY with Odin and then make factory reset in recovery mode. Then root with CF Root 1.3 (Or something like that) and flash CWM Recovery. That's what I would do.

Hi all,
I think I have to finally update my rooted Nexus 2.2.1 to the latest GB because the update nagging is driving me crazy :-(
So anyhow, can somebody tell me if this will work as expected (outcome should be rooted GB 2.3.4)
1. I have latest ClockworkMod Recovery installed
2. I grabbed the official update from /cache. Build.prop says it's GRJ22. Size is 89MB. The zip contains the update plus boot.img and radio.img
3. Renamed the file to update.zip and placed on root of sdcard
4. placed su.zip and fix-recovery.zip in the root of sdcard
So the plan is to reboot into recovery, flash the update.zip. Flash su.zip. Flash fix-recovery.zip and finally reboot.
The outcome should be a rooted GB 2.3.4 with all my apps and settings still present. Will this process work?
Thanks
Raf
Edit zip file and remove recovery image.
i wanna know if the wonk issue in grj22 has been solved..
anyone know?
Flash as a zip from sd, not as an update...
Thanks it worked
And special thanks to bohlool for saving my butt. Per his suggestion I removed the recovery image from the zip file prior to installing and it saved my root because the update rebooted the phone after installing it without giving me a chance to install su.zip.
Thanks again.
Raf
If you flash as a zip from SD, instead of as an update, your phone doesn't reboot...
I did just that, in CWM I selected flash zip, selected the file on SD, and confirmed. I started flashing, then rebooted once, then rebooted a second time and finally booted in the OS. Because I removed the recovery from the update, it did not reflash the recovery and I was able to reboot into CWM recovery and apply the su.zip update (and this time it did not reboot on it's own).
Btw, my GRJ22 update was 89MB vs 6MB what has been posted here as an official update.
Raf
Yeah, removing the recovery from the zip is possibly an easier way. My comment was for anyone who didn't know how to remove the recovery, our didn't feel comfortable doing it, etc...
You are welcome

I apply any update like this, full updates you need to remove image file, and partial updates, you need to remove recovery folder. This way, you will keep your recovery and can flash su and other zips later.
cheers.
After allot of search work I still didn't find any solution for my problem.
(Goal is to flash my stock phone to Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3)
PDA: I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000XXJVO
CSC: I9000XENJV4
What I did:
1. Root my phone with SuperOneClick.
2. Install Rom Manager.
3. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and select my model.
4. Reboot into Recovery.
After this the phone reboots and ends up in normal recovery mode and starts installing the package? This is what I see.
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong?
what i would've done, is to flash a simple CF-Root trough odin, wich allready contains CWM-recovery.
From there you will have to flash a mtd based rom, like cm7, then Onecosmics build
thats what i did ages ago, and i havent had any big problems afterwards.
Just search for Cf-Root at google and it should guide you to the right page.
its about as far as i can help you, as i never used oneclick-root apps, and had to manually flash CWM.
Thanks for your reply!! I will try that when I get home and post back my results.
*Edit:
It works! I have Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3 running on my phone.
What I did:
1. Like you suggested rooted the phone again but now with with Odin and CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip.
2. Placed the ROM and Kernel on my sd card.
3. Boot in recovery mode and did an wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. (Didn't want to install CM7 so tried it like this first )
4. Selected aply update from sd card and selected ICS_4.0.3.0(RC2.11)_Galaxy-S_Full.
5. It flashed the rom but it didn't go back to CMW recovery and showed the boot animation (colored blocks) way to long.
6. Taken out the batterij and started again in CMW recovery with button combination.
7. This time I did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache.
8. Selected aply update from sd card and selected ICS_4.0.3.0(RC2.11)_Galaxy-S_Full. This time it went back to CMW recovery.
9. Selected aply update from sd card and selected ICS_I9000_20120107_r3180v_update. Went back to CMW recovery again.
10. Selected reboot system now.
After waiting for like 8 minutes I got an working phone with ICS installed!
*Sorry for the "detailed" explanation but I hopefully help other "noobs" with this issue
Seems that I am not done because Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC3 is out!
oh year, RC3 is fantastic

I'll try and leave out as much of the long stories as possible.
In trying to unlock my phone, I followed the instructions at jz.bz/tar.jz/unlock-samsung-galaxy-ace-gt-s5830d. Installed Clockwork Recovery 5.0.2.6, and XWKT7 Adrenaline Rom from the links on that page. Installations went fine, though in the final step to find the unlock code, when I opened the file I created in the hex editor, it was nearly empty, and the string I was looking for was missing. Moot. But this is background, in case it's relevant.
Learning what I was doing as I went along, I didn't realize that I had already rooted the device. I proceeded to root it again with SuperOneClick v2.3.3. In the process of this, it told me the device was already rooted, but of course, I continued. Still, everything worked fine.
For reasons not relevant here, I want to return it to the stock ROM. I eventually found it on Sammobile, along with the instructions on this site to use Odin in order to install it. Followed them properly, only to have the installation fail, then catching my phone in a boot loop.
The phone wouldn't come out of the bootloop until I went back to the instructions on that page above, and reinstalled Clockwork and Adrenaline. When I did this, the phone returned to working condition, so I tried to reinstall the stock ROM with Odin a couple more times. Same effect. Found another page on this site instructing me to place the ROM's .zip file on the SD card, and flash it from recovery. In the instructions, it told me to first wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts/storage and wipe system, wipe data, and wipe SD-ext. There was no 'wipe' option, so I assumed that format was what was being referred to, and did that. After some error messages about the SD-ext, I figured out the SD card wasn't partitioned, used the phone to partition it, and tried again. Error messages gone, but still, both Odin, and the SD card method have failed to reinstall the stock ROM. I'm lost, and at this point, I need some help. Badly.
