Hello,
just bought ROM Manager, because I want to flash CyanogenMod 7.1 to my Galaxy S i9000
Got 2 problems:
1. Trying to Backup Current Rom, I get the following error:
Verifying update package
Failed to verify whole-file signature
Signature verification failed
Installation package aborted.
2. It's unclear to me which device I must choose when flashing the Recovery Image: Galaxy i9000 (no CyanogenRom listed) or i9000 MTD (one stable and 1 nightly CyanogenRom in the list of ROM's)
MTD? What is MTD? Both options seem to flash CWM Recovery.
I must be doing something stupid, and Koushik Dutta doesn't respond to my messages I'd appreciate your help, thanks!

I'm asking for help as well, so this may not be much use, but I read a few threads back that if you have a stock recovery, the CWM or backup won't pass signature verification. It said that you needed to flash a modded 3E recovery image to your phone before proceeding. Like I said, it may not be much use, but it's worth looking into
Edit: Saw the date on this, realized you've probably already been helped >.<

I follow the instructions but when I tried to install the rom was rebooting and now I can not install any other rom with the error:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
What happened?
My system now
Firmware version
2.3.3
Baseband version
I897UCKF1
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832
Build number
GINGERBREAD.UCKF1
U need a kernel with CWM Recovery to flash from...not Stock kernel.

I had almost same issue when I was trying to revert back from slimbeans as the JB installation changed the partitions on my phone memory. I had to restore stock via odin using a PIT file for repartitioning the memory to its original.
I think the same should help you.

I tried, but not flash kernel and rom, freeze in home screen load samsung...
I have tried several times (on different PCs and versions) to upgrade from stock Froyo on my P1000 using Kies but it always throws up the same error: "Failed to run firmware upgrade. Unknown error occurred."
So I started reading through this forum and several other guides to find a work-around.
First thing I had to do was root it which worked using SuperOneClick.
Then I found out that I needed ClockWorkRecovery Mod and this is where things started to fall apart. Most guides are for Gingerbread, I'm still on Froyo - I've tried the following:
Using Heimdall Suite in 'Download Mode' to flash the kernel with cwn-5-p1.tar - throws up this: "ERROR: "kernel" is not a vaild argument"
Using Odin to do the same - doesn't see the device when in download mode (but does in normal mode).
So now I'm stuck as I cant get CWR on the device so can't move to the next stage. Any advice appreciated, I'm pretty new to this so please go easy on the terminology!
I don't think you have missed my many posts?
I always recommend Overcome method. But you will need to wipe everything.
The link is in my signature.
Download the guide, download GB-stock-safe-v5 package,
download overcome kernel.
Jump to page 7 of the PDF and flash GB-stock-safe-v5, using Odin that is in that package.
Flash Overcome kernel using Odin again,
and you have your CWM.
Thanks for the reply I will give it a try and post progress.
Excellent, that guide worked a treat, I now have the Overcome ROM 4.1.0 installed.
Looking at the settings tells me I have firmware 2.3.6.
Is there a way to upgrade this even further to Ice Cream Sandwich? Or would it be advisable to stick with this OS?
Isn't that why you look to install cwm in the first place?
You can use cwm to flash any custom ROM.
There are aosp based ROMs around, like cm9, cm10, aokp, etc.
Usually you must flash the ROM, maybe a few times if from GB,
Then flash gapps (the correct one for the ROM version), then reboot.

hi
I'm writing for the first time although I've been visiting the forum for couple of weeks as I'm facing a problem with my samsung SGH-I897.
PROBLEM HISTORY
it was a present to me which was already rooted and loaded with ICS rom (I can't remember the version, kernel, baseband or build no). 2 weeks back, I tried to upgrade the phone with JB Slim custom rom (www.android.gs/update-galaxy-captivate-i897-jelly-bean-slim/) but stuck with AT&T bootlogo. I tried to go back to ICS again but accidentally did something wrong in CWM recovery (don't know the version) for which CWM went back to original 3e version.
Since then I couldn't load any rom (by CWM or Odin) bcos there was error in CWM saying failed to mount /dbdata... etc. 2 days ago I found a fix for that in blog.kalpetros.com/2012/04/how-to-fix-cant-mount-dbdata-error-sgs.html
Then I loaded GB rom 2.3.5 , baseband I897UCKJ1 , kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKJ1-CL614489 . But my CWM is still 3e.
THE PROBLEM NOW
1) I am trying to update the captivate but every time I try to update I get this:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I've tried Lanight, Slim Rom (again) but no use. what should I do?
2) Maybe there is a kernel issue (it says here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874327 ). So to flash new kernel I followed the instruction from androidprof.blogspot.com/2013/02/upgrading-rooting-and-then-installing.html?goback=%2Egde_86481_member_213543419 and forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266 but Odin hangs at midpoint and the captivate becomes softbricked. Then again I have to load the GB. is the odin defective? (I used odin 1.85 & odin3)
3) I tried to load GB I897UCKK4 by one click odin installer but it hanged everytime. why?
thanx in advance

From your signature, you have a GT-I9070, which is a different device. This section is for the Captivate.

NO, it's Captivate

thank you 4-2ndtwin,
I think the pc connection is ok bcos I can flash the GB 2.3.5 I897UCKJ1 ROM by odin 3. (infact it's the only ROM I can flash)
And Odin cannot flash the kk4 kernel, it hangs at midpoint.
SO FAR HERE GOES THE SUMMERY
I can only flash the above mentioned ROM. No other ROM, kernel, CWM recovery can't be loaded by Odin 1.85 or 3.
Same goes for flashing through recovery mode. there's always signature verification failure error (see 1st post)
bad usb driver, connector or cable can cause intermittent fail like that, mid flash, even though it looks okay when you start. also, have you tried redownloading your sources? signature verification can mean failed md5 checksum= corrupt source file.
Out of curiosity, did you accidentally enable the signature verification in speedmod? I did that yesterday while installing Captivating and it'll throw the signature verification error lol. Just click it again in CWM and you should be able to get passed the signature verification.

I don't know, if it's bad usb driver, connector or cable how come they always give trouble during flashing everything except I897uckj1 rom?
and, I'll try redownloading the sources (have to browse the history)
nope

there's no such option in my cwm. the cwm is 3e and very limited. it has only 4 option... reboot, update from zip, wipe factory data, wipe cache.
CWM and 3e recovery are 2 different things. CWM is a CUSTOM recovery, 3e is the stock recovery. It sounds like you're still on stock recovery.
Have you tried using ADB to push a CWM recovery.img to the device? There should be some tutorials or posts on other threads here about doing it. I had to do that for my Pantech Crossover.
Once you do that, you can flash a ROM no problem.

It's quicker and easier to just do it yourself, there's a no solder method on the forums here.
I'm trying
yes.. I'm following this 2 solderless threads jig without cutting usb cord and jig with cutting usb cord
but no luck yet, have to identify the problem. is there any suggestions about these methods or any other?
What problem? Only follow 1 of the guides, they're different, hence why there's 2.
Need help
I am using Supernexus 2.0 Build 4
While trying to flash XXJVT Modem I am getting this error-
assert failed: run_program( /tmp/updater.sh ) cm10
Can anyone please confirm why this is happening. Googled about it and all I was able to find that it was due to change in partition layout but I believe this ROM is based on the new partition layout only, isnt it?
If Not can anyone guide me to flashable zip of Jvt Modem for this Rom
Thanks
