Hey everyone,
I just loaded the latest tranquility and im loving it. i have a question though. ive been trying to load some custom tweaks, themes (specifically Gala X Theme 1.6.1) from clockworkmod and when it reboots to load the "rom" I get the Exclamation point/android icon. i click the home button and what it says, right after verifying update package..., is e:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument), E:signature verification failed, installation aborted. i can then reboot into tranquility. Am i doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance! Also, off the topic of clockwork, is there any way to set your own sounds for notifications?
Probably what's going on is you're not booting into clockwordmod. Sometimes the bootstrapper doesn't take. Try re-running the bootstrapper and then trying again.
You might also try re-downloading the file if that doesn't work after retrying the bootstrapper.
Its rebooting into clockwork recovery. At least that's what it says on the top of the screen. I also have bootstrap. I tried to install the package manually from clockwork recovery and it said e:signature verification failed. I know you can either boot into bootstrap recovery or recovery using clockworkmod. Would trying to install from bootstrap recovery change anything? Basically what I've been doing is going into clockworkmod, download rom section, download what I want, tell it to install and it fails. Also can I install these mods/roms Manually? Im still learning btw so thanks everyone for their help!
Try using the bootstrap recovery option in bootstraper then going to rom manager and downloading it and installing, seems like you have to hit the bootstrap recovery after every reboot

thanks guys! i ended up getting it to work. i just loaded the roms manually by booting into recovery using bootstrap instead of trying to do it automatically with clockworkmod rom manager. i probably shouldve mention rom manager up there cuz thats the program i was actually having trouble with. so i got everything i wanted installed manually and estoy happy! thanks guys for your replies and help!

I've been trying to help a friend flash ROM's to his X. We've installed the paid Bootstrap and Rom Manager. We then utilized the bootstrap utility, and flashed clockworkmod recovery. We then go to the Download rom section of Rom Manager and choose FlyX, it downloads, we then check backup current rom, and wipe data, continue. The phone attempts to boot into clockworkmod but wont. It does the update package part, fails, and then reboots normally. I should also note that when I attempt to boot into clockworkmod recovery via bootstrap it is successful. Could I find the downloaded Rom via the menu in clockworkmod and install it that way? Is there a step in installing Clockworkmod that I'm missing? I've been checking the forums but all I can find for solutions is people saying to install bootstrap again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both programs twice and nothing has changed. Thanks so much in advance for the help.
open rom manager and click on flash clockworkmod recovery.
everything you download with rom manager goes into the /clockworkmod/download folder on your mem card.
Tried that.didn't work.

You need to open up Bootstrap and select the top option... then you can proceed to Rom Manager.......Rom Manager cannot flash CW onto the DroidX that why we need Koush's Droidx Bootstrapper. Give that a try also Note i hope that you have booted into CW and made a Nandroid backup of your friends current phone state.. If that still doesnt work for you.. download the ROM off a forum and do it manually.

YOu need to download Koush bootstrap http://koush.tandtgaming.com//motorola/droidx/DroidXBootstrap.apk
So after I gain root, I open Bootstrap? I then hit the "Bootstrap Recovery" button? Then I open Rom Manager and click "flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery", which I beleive is 2.5.0.7? Do I hit the "Reboot Recovery" button in Bootstrap after I flash the latest CW recovery?
that will get you into clockwork mod yes.
This helped, thanks everyone
Having the same problem. Im trying this hopefully I can get clockwork recovery to work

I have tried this several times, even re-installing rom manager and boot strap and everytime i reboot it will not go into the rom manager recovery mode. any ideas/and or advice will help
P.S. I have wiped several times and i am running .596
Hi all, I screwed up running an update to my ROM, recovered through Odin (again ha), flashed back to stock, rooted successfully, and installed Clockwork, but whenever I try flashing my ROM through ROM Manager, the phone reboots right, then gives me the "E: failed to verify whole-file signiture E: Signiture verification failed"
I just want to get back on BlackHole :\ I searched around but either people figured it out and didnt explain, or the problems variables were too far apart from mine. I have tried removing and reinstalling clockwork, and I have tried redoing the entire process to the same result.
Any insight?
I want to add that I'm not flashing Clockwork through Odin, because the files aren't available on the forum anymore. Is this the error?
You need to flash the cwrecovery.tar file, which enables you to flash zips signed with test keys. Look in the thread about flashing clockwork on win/*nix.

You're doing it right, just missing one step. Installing clockwork mod through rom manager only downloads the update.zip file for it to your sdcard, you have to flash the cwm compatible stock recovery through odin. the file can be found here:

Excellent, I figured as much but since I couldn't find it anywhere I assumed it had been changed.
BEAUTIFUL. Thank you. Looking forward to running your 3.0. I was on 1.4 or something.
I am stuck...
Ive tried installing two different ROMs on my Fascinate and get the same error when doing both and i cant figure out why.
I have tried installing the DL09 and DJ05 both getting this error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Esignature verification failed
Installation aborted.
The options up top are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I thought that there was a way to bypass the signature but am unsure of the steps.
I have also tried uninstalling CWM and pulled the battery and then tried running both the ROMs and still got the same error...
Any ideas?
Have you flashed both parts of CWM? You need to flash it via Odin as well as use ROM Manager. The part through ROM Manager downloads the update.zip file, so you could just download the update.zip from somewhere else if you didn't want to use ROM Manager.
After that, you should be set to go. Also, you should have posted in the General section.
are you applying the update to get in cwm recovery? then going to install zip from sd card?

Step 2.
Or there are many more posts/guides/questions about this in the General section. Cheers.
Did you have any success with the suggestions here or are you still stuck?

follow the link from the above poster.
0. Is your phone rooted?
1. Have you flashed the radio?
2. Have you installed clockwork rom manager?
3. You should be flashing ROM via the clockwork recovery not samsung recovery

This happens when you are coming from a stock ROM that does not have Clockwork Mod installed properly.
You need to install Clockwork Mod. You need to flash via Odin, as well as in ROM Manager. Follow these instructions in post #1:

android noob here, just converted to the Vibrant from blackberry not long ago. i'm no stranger to modding phones, did some OS updates on my BB, but now i'm perplexed.
I was gonna try and throw a custom ROM on my Vibrant, but i've hit a speed bump. i'm rooted (via superoneclick), i installed ROM manager, and i flashed the current ClockworkMod recovery (2.5.1.2) but i cannot get it to make a backup. when i boot into recovery mode the only options available are these:
-reboot system now
-reinstall packages
-delete all user data
-delete cache data
-format internal sd card
i think this is the stock recovery, so for some reason it's not recognizing the CWM recovery.
i keep trying "reinstall packages" (at least 15-20 times) but every time i do i get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I've confirmed that the update.zip file exists and is on the internal memory card. I've tried older versions of CWM. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager several times. I'm at a loss at this point.
Also, not sure if it's related, but when i hit the "Fix Permissions" command in ROM Manager it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Is this relevant?
HELP!
Thanks!
sounds to me that you have stock recovery. one that says 3e instead of 2e. If thats the case you do not have root. you need to flash a kernel that has the 3e to 2e fix.
check out this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&page=18.
i'll give this a shot, thanks. hopefully it's not above my level of knowledge!
my phone is making a nandroid backup as i'm typing this! thank you again!

So... that must have been the problem ! glad I could help.
I greatly appreciate it, thank you.
Embarrassingly enough, I believe the issue was that I didn't have Busybox installed. I did the 3e to 2e fix with no luck, did some more reading and realized I didn't have busybox, so I installed that, redid the 3e to 2e fix, and voila, the green menu appeared. Getting ready to flash a custom ROM now
haven't decided between nero or bionix.
Have you considered looking at Miui or cm7. these are both gingerbread based roms. If you want to stay on a 2.2 I suggest an EDT Rom like project V.

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to get clockwork installed on a rooted stock firmware vibrant for a friend. Using ROM manager i've tried to install CWM and it says it is successful, however after trying to reboot into recovery and choosing re-install packages I get these errors:
E:Failed to verify Whole File Signature
E:signature verification failed
Installtion aborted
I tried flashing Vibrant (MTD) Clockwork Recover 3.x from ROM manager but it does the same thing.
Also tried the AIO tool from the sticky in the dev section and it doesn't work either. I chose the custom ROM but it doesn't push it to the phone or reboot it into recovery. (The install drivers option gave me a windows unhandled exception error)
I downloaded Heimdall but am not sure how it's used, can it flash any ROM or only specially formatted ones?
I've been searching these forums for a few days now and finding so much new and old processes to do things and I'm not very familiar with Samsung phones so any help is appreciated. Thank-you.
Re-Root it
Re-root the phone using One-click, when Baywolfs fails, one click always does it because it push's it through using ADB
CWM wont work unless the phone is proper ROOTED, youll know when its done right, cause youll see the super=user App after your done
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
After that, un-install Rom manager, then re-install it, then while your connected to WIFI or provider, make sure you flash CWM recovery,
Re- download the ROM again, but dont open it!!
Then when you are ready to flash that ROM as a zipped file, DO NOT open it [ meaning UNZIP] or you'll continue to get the signature error.
Then either flash using reboot into recovery or install using CWM option of sd card install, either or works!! .
Are you having trouble getting past the stock 3e recovery? I've been trying to get past it for a few days but have been poking around learning the in/outs of this. I have not yet gotten Rom Manager to properly flash CWM Recovery... the stock 3e is stubborn. Once CWM recovery is done, your options open up for backups, restores and installing some custom roms.
I don't know what the solution is but I'm still looking around.
Hope this was on track...
Its stuborn in the sense its picky about free space. You'll need to free up some room in order to use CWM. Reference this thread for guidance -
