Verify/Signature failed - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using
2.3.5 I897UCKJ1
kernel version 2.6.35.7-I897UCKJ1-CL614489
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.
This happens with every file I try, "Update", CM9, Stock...
Any ideas on how to fix it? I read this sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052991 but someone said they weren't fixes for 2.3.5?

Use TRusselo's "[Guide] How to Flash ANY Captivate ROM from Stock..." that is a Stickied thread in the Q & A forum.

sounds like the md5 checksum on the file is bad and this means the file is corrupted. try downloading the source files again? its weird that it is happening with different files. can you verify the integrity of the files on a pc?

The problem is that he has a Stock Kernel that he is trying to flash a Rom from. He needs to follow the Guide I linked to in my previous post because he needs a Kernel with CWM Recovery baked in. :thumbup:

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.

[Q] Cyanogen on P1000

Please tell me what I have done wrong.
I am getting "E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)" followed by "E: signature verification failed".
I have got this from both cm-10-20121107-NIGHTLY-p1.zip and both cm-10-20121108-NIGHTLY-p1.zip both of which are in the root of my sd card.
You can't use stock (3e) recovery.
You must use CWM recovery.

You also posted in the wrong section of the forum. Questions go in the Q&A section. Please post correctly going forward.
I also deleted your duplicate post as you should only post once and kept this one as had a response already.

Please be more specific for I get the same result when I Reboot into Recovery from my ROM Manager. ie I still get the same error messages.
I have posted the same thing about 100 times by now.
You could have searched.
Forget ROM Manager.
Use overcome method.
[ROM][2.3.6] Overcome Rom 4.1.0 new links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
(BTW you can just jump to page 7 of the PDF to the Odin part)
Stop there and you will have good stock Gingerbread that works with the next step.
Continue just one more step by flashing Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar
using Odin as per guide.
You will have CWM in the most reliable way.
This cwm is what you need.

I guess you are using stock recovery to do this. lucky that you survived.
you need to use cwm to install the rom.
download philz kernel lrk and install it the same was as you are doing now. Once done reboot into recovery and install the ron

Can't load any ROM in my SGH-I897

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.
