I'm following the Bionix instructions at the Team Whiskey website. And I'm stuck at the part where I need to reboot into CWM.
After I dl'd ROM Manager, and I clicked to the latest CWM, I did not immediately reboot my phone (as I have now read that I should have done). and anything I try to get CWM to start isn't working. Any ideas?
After you flash Clock Work Recovery from Rom Manager reboot into stk recovery. Then reinstall packages . You may need to reinstall packages twice then it should come up .

I've tried "reinstalling packages" several times. every time I get an error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
You must be on official froyo then . Check what recovery you have 2e or 3e ? CWM doesnt work with 3e .

I'm on 3e. What do I need to flash to change this?
Go to the Development section and look for untermensch's 3e recovery modified to work like 2e .
You could also Odin back to 2.1 stk then reflash CWM in RomManager the flash what ever you want .
puit this update file below on your internal sd card , reboot holding vol up vol down + power , reinstall packages if it returns you to samer screen ht reinstall packages again , enjoy

so if I go back to 2.1, then reflashing CWM in Rom Manager will work?

last time I downgraded to change stuff I went back to: T959UVJFD. and then rooted with SuperOneClick.
so now I should do the same, but right after update with the update.zip file above^^?
UPDATE: used Odin to go back to T959UVJFD. afterwords I rooted using this page. installed the packaged that bartek25 posted to get CWM working (it didn't work after flashing thru Rom Manager). then finally installed Bionix-V through CWM. Great success! thanks everyone!
Thank you bartek25!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was stuck and could not boot into th clock work recovery for the past 2hours. Found this and read you post,used the file you gave the OP and it worked!!

If you havent already download Rom Manager and reflash CWM. Soemtimes people tell you to flash an older version then reflash the newest version.

Whenever I try to install an older version, I get a message saying "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" I've tried it on 3G and Wifi, and I can download other things just fine.
Do you have the update.zip for CWM still on your sdcard? If so reboot into recovery using the power and volume key, it should take you to the Samsung recovery, then go to apply update.zip.

I just get sent back to CWM and I get the same error. Would removing ROM Manager remove CWM?
In order to have a fully working rom manager, you have to flash the clockworkmod.tar kernal. I was having the exact same issues, I couldn't do a backup or restore. You will have to do odin on your phone.

Exactly.
You cannot install CWM without odin / redbend / etc. There are no shortcuts. Just downloading ROM Manager and hoping that you're special or lucky is not enough to make this work.
Follow the instructions.
I guess I had assumes he had already done that.
I installed it through rom manager.
And every time I wanna go to recovery
It goes to the android recovery and not
clock mod's.
I also get a check sum error and it can open something
Can anyone plz tell me what's wrong?
Thanks
Did you follow the steps koush gave in his thread for CWR?
Installation instructions:
1.Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2.Flash Recovery.
3.Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4.Accept the Superuser prompt.
5.On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6.Watch the backup go!

You probably tried to partition the internal memory with clockwork mod. I also had that same issue before my replacement vibrant came. Now I flashed alot of roms and my recovery still looks normal. Im so relieved.

I did that every single step even the re install through
Regular recovery
But nothing
you opened rom manager, you selected to flash CWR, then you rebooted into recovery, then you reinstalled packages?
I've never heard anyone have an issue, just trying to make absolute certain you followed the steps before we try anything else.

Are you sure ur phone is rooted. Clockwork recovery wont work until its rooted. For some strange reason everytime I go back to stock to flash a new rom I have to do a full sd wipe. Even when the update.zip file is there for root there's something that on the card that wont let me root until after I completely wipe the sd card.

These steps also do not work for me. When running "reinstall package" it will see the new update.zip file but does not load it. It skips it and just boots back into the standard blue recovery mode. I have flashed and re-flashed about a hundred time. I even tried older flashes of clockwork.
I installed 2.2 through Samsung Kies.

Bingo. You need to be running either 2e, or a modded 3e. Cwm is useless without one of those.

Yea, I already followed his steps....twice.
I'll dig deeper into the 3e situation. At least this get me going somewhere.
Is it possible for me to fall back to 2e?
I was using 2e recovery to make a nandroid back up, then went back into recovery to flash a mod but Rom manager didn't boot into recovery right. A exclamation mark pops up in a triangle, then nothing happens until i press the home button and recovery but with this error "failed to verify whole-file signature". Now i can't use cwm to flash anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try uninstalling Rom manager, then re-download it and re-install it and re-flash it.
Yea I tried that twice still no success

Had same issue with the verification, this is how I ended up fixing mine.
1. Odin with "froyo no brick eugene", and the pit
2. Place CWR on sd card, reinstall updates may have to do this process twice till you boot into CWR, if verification error do the following.... place the
CWR voodoo recovery on. Rename "update.zip" and go about it this way.
3. Once in recovery you should be able to flash any rom, as usual wipe data/factory reset, cache,davlik. Should be good to go, Voodoo CWR has helped me, been through this process twice.
Had this problem also. Try using hardware keys for recovery instead of ROM manager. It happened with eugene gingerclone r2. I think it's because the cwm recovery on the kernel and the update.zip are two different versions.
Hello,
I am on a Samsung Galaxy S (original rom) with froyo.xwjpa and i can't get clockwork to work. ("failed to verify whole-file signature") Kernel: 2.6.32.9 (rooted phone with lagfix)
What to do?
I tried the update.zip via the 3 button method and via the "ROM Manager" (clockworkmod 2.5.1.2)
(I want to flash my phone with the "Darkys_V8.0_Gingerbread_Edition_Wipe")
[RESOLVED]
I went from the Unofficial Froyo to Macnut R14 to Obsidian v4.2 and now to Nero v3. I had this problem on Obsidian, I forced into recovery by holding down the volume buttons and the power button then let go after the vibrant logo is shown twice, then flashed a new ROM and it worked, so after switching ROM's (Nero 3), clockwork is working now. I really don't know why it wasn't working, I was unable to flash any mods, themes, or kernels but a ROM worked.

I'm not to knowledgeable about the I9000 Samsung Galaxy S, even though the Vibrant should be identical except for the FFC and ROM, but you can try this:
Did you try disabling your lagfix?
If not then give that a try. If that doesn't do it, uninstall ROM Manager, then reinstall it, open ROM Manager, reflash clockwork, I believe the newest version is 2.5.1.3, then try the 3 button method.
I have the same problem too (using 3e recovery).
Tried pressing the vol + power keys to get into recovery mode, but still getting "failed to verify whole-file signature"
Pls help...
I just rooted my stock Froyo Vibrant and installed ROM Manager so this is a brand new setup. No other ROMs installed. I am getting the E:failed to verify whole-file signature error with no luck.
Tried the following:
-Reinstalling ROM Manager and selecting "Flash Clockwork Recovery"
-Rebooting using "Reboot into Recovery" - I get stock recovery text
-Selecting "reinstall packages"
-I get the error above
-Turn off phone and use Vol Up + Vol Down + Power to boot into stock recovery
-Select "reinstall packages"
-Same error
I want to flash the Bionix-v ROM, but I want to get a nandroid backup first since I've already bricked a Vibrant before with no backup.
Any help would be appreciated!
Here, this should do it, @ the part where you Reinstall Packages, you might have to do it twice if it brigs you into stock recovery again.

I am trying to recover from a backup made with Rom manager previously or make a new backup of my current Rom, using Rom Manager.
In CWM, accessed either manually of from Rom Manager, I get errors
E:failed to verify whole-life signature
E: signature verification failed
I get these same errors in CWM when I try to run
1. a new backup from Rom Manager using CWM
2. a recovery using Rom Manager and CWM
3. the update.zip file from the SDCard in CWM
I have been having this problem with Stock Roms and Custom Roms etc.
Can someone please please shed some light and help out?

I am not able to flash Villain ROM 2.3 or anything else. The reason is that when it reboots into recovery mode, it starts with: -
_ Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any idea what's going on, I just recovered my SGS2 from almost being a brick!
Cheers!
It sounds like a corrupted file. Your download might not have completed or you are having hardware issues such as faulty ram.
Before updating a ROM, try to checking the MD5 checksum to see if they are correct if the chef provides it.
Go into your recovery and press the Choose zip to flash option, there you can select 'turn off signature verification, now you can happily flash.
Sorted!
Thanks God I got it sorted...thanks for the help of some guys in VillainROM thread.
Actually, what happened was that after flashing Chainfire's kernel, to get rid of the Yellow triangle, I was supposed to flash the Samsung stock kernel. That's what I did. BUT, after that you had to further extract the same CHAINFIRE's kernel, NOT the stock kernel to its zImage and had to put it on the root of the internal sd_card.
But, unfortunately, I being, careless extracted Samsung's stock kernel to its zImage and copied that to the sd_card. Now after flashing Samsung's stock kernel to remove the yellow triangle, it's important to flash the ChainFire's kernel's zImage so that it could again ROOT, install busy box and add CWM on the phone.
So, guys if you still having the same problem, remove the zImage you already have on your sd_card and replace it with the 1 from ChainFire's kernel and it will sort your problem and you will be able to see CWM again with FULL options.
Chillaxxxx!
hey i have copied the zimage to my sd card, but in android 3e recovery i cannot flash it .. i only see apply update zip option. but i cant select the zImage file please!!
In CWM, Flash kernel and select the zImage.zip, phone will reboot, done.
