Hallo all'
I have just bought A samsung galaxy s2. Its about 2 weeks old now. So I have recently decided to root it but I think It got wrong. It says its rooted because I can use rom manager and superuser. The problem is I just downloaded a rom and every time I get in to recovery mode iam getting the error: so when I go into recovery mode at the android screen with the triangle and exclemation mark I get the error:
Finding package:
Updating
E failed to verify whole file signature
E (another error cant remeber)
Then it goes into recovery mode but I only have.4 options
Reboot
Wipe system
Update system (when I choose update.zip doesnt work)
Wipe cache
help me please?

you need to download flash an insecure kernel in order to get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Flash the zImage of your root kernel. You will get it by extracting the .tar root file. Copy it to your SD card and flash via CWM with the option Flash Kernel.
Sadly that should not work as at this point he is still running e3 recovery.

Another problem
Solution of brainedbysaucepans worked, but iam having another BIG problem now. So I have installed CWM and went in to CWM with Volume up+Home+Power buttons, from there i choose for install from zip and i have installed the newest
MIUI rom. Restarted. Screen doesnt get passed the ''Samsung galaxy s2'' screen with the triangle and exclemation mark. So I went back to CWM and wiped all data. Still cant get past 1st screen. Telephone is un-usuable. A brick is more usefull then my telephone atm :<. Please help. URGENT.
Without knowing what you have done wrong my suggestion would be to wipe the phone install a stock rom and start reading the faqs and guides .
Full wipe boot to recovery .
mounts and storage format data cache system sd card .
put phone to download mode and flash a stock rom .

Thank you! I know you are wise in saying this, as Recovery 3e requires signature verification for flashing external files. Tried pointing stock Recovery to .zip files on sd card (so as to toggle signature verification off), but it doesn't display those files for some reason. How do I get an alternate Recovery that will work with CWR, so that when I flash it will unpack, or how do I otherwise bypass this requirement? Samsung Galaxy SII, Sprint, rooted, but last 5 hours pretty hung up on getting full Recovery going. Obviously a bit of a noob, but would be wicked happy to get a workaround here so I can start flashing ROMs and such.

bs, cannot find it. BUKI1 2.3.5 (gingerbread.BUKJ3) no work at all
signature not verified
trying to use bloatkill.zip on my Huawei h866c. After placing .zip folder on sd card and updating with recovery, I get signature verification failed message. Is there a work around. My phone is not rooted and cannot be rooted because of the addition of SuameKinUser.apk to my system files. I would like to remove it so I can traditionally root this device.
Thanks for the help.
I'm having the same sort of problem at the moment, did you ever resolve this?
My phone was locked to the 3 network when I got it, I rooted the phone and got it to the current set up as below;
Samsung gt-i9100
android version - 2.3.5
baseband version - I9100NEKI2
kernel version - [email protected] #2
build number - GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I have SuperSU installed
I have recently tried to update using Cyanogenmod and Revolt files/guides here on XDA, the latest file being revolt_i9100-ALPHA-20131011.zip however i get the same message on install of;
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Can anyone please point out what is going wrong or direct me to another guide that would be best suited to upgrading from my current setup?

Hello ... I ask you a little help on ROM Manager and Recovery.
I just root the galaxy S2 with the procedure supercurio, so my ROM is pretty much stock ... I was a XWKDD.
ROM Manager (in his opinion) regularly install ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2, but when I restart in recovery and launch the update.zip I get the following error message:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Googling a little I found how to sign files.zip, moddied 3e recovery and also to ignore the signs in zip files ... but none of these workarounds work ...
So how I can use this 3e recovery with unsigned files?
Or ... how can I replace the 3e with the 2e recovery? (There ROM with the 2e which do not differ much from the stock ROM?)

Moving to Q&A
Having this problem too.
In ROM Manager, I flashed the latest CWM, then reboot into recovery.
It reboots to Android system recovery (3e).
Any idea how I can get recovery working. Do I need to flash a different kernel?
I actually JUST dealt with this issue myself. I had the same kernel as you.
You need to flash a new stock ROM in odin, I used KG6. I just used the stock kernel, not the whole package.
The stock ROMs can be found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Then when this is done, you use odin to flash a CF Root for that kernal following these instructions:

I am also having issues. I have an SGS2 with 2.3.3..
I have rooted the phone and am trying to install Cyanogenmod7 (nightly build #22) to my phone.
I have downloaded ROM Manager, Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery (4.0.1.5) and have tried to 'Install ROM from SD Card', then selected the cyanogenmod. However, its coming up with the following message:
Finding update package ...

I have tried to download 3e without signature verification "3e_recovery_no_sig_check" but this has not worked. I am a bit of a noob at this so appreciate any lamens terms help anyone can provide!!
Hey guys. I tried the KG6 and CF kernel, and the lulz kernal. Both are giving me t 3e error on CWM. What else can I do?
cant flash roms
Hey guys,
I too am having this problem. I have completely lost the ability to flash roms from cwm. It says "Installing update" when its a new rom and it flashes it in less that 3 seconds and then it gets stuck at the boot. If I use rom manager it just says "E: signature verification failed on the whole file". I have tried the following:
-restoring stock rom (KE2) and then using cf-root which installs 4.0 and cwm 4.0.0.2
-formatting sdcard
It's really bad, I am dwelling on just one nandroid backup of Cognition and I can't even update it!
Thanks for your help
You cannot use 3e to install custom roms. 3e (blue color) is the default samsung recovery. When you try to flash custom rom with 3e, it will fail verification.
You need to use Clockwork Recovery (orange color).
Try installing Speedmod Kernel instead of using CF-Root kernel and see what happens.
Mate that totally fixed it thanks so much for the help! Now I can get back to flashing stuff!!

Problem to flash CWM
Hi,
Here are the steps that got me into this situation:
1. My provider installed a test version on my Galaxy S2 in order to resolve some problems.
2. After the above I rooted my device using ODIN 1.85 and SuperOneClick 2.1.1 using XWKDD kernel.
The versions of my phone now are:
Model Number GT-I9100T
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9100TJIKI1
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected]#2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.JIKI2
My intention is to flash CWM in order to install Cyanogenmod ROM. When I tried to flash the CWM using ROM Manager it failed. From what I read it is because I have 3e recovery.
I saw some suggestions for resolution, like flashing a stock kernel and than flash CWM again to avoid the invalid signature problem.
However, I couldn't find any kernel that fits my device situation.
Any suggestions for a route I can take to resolve the situation?
a route that will leave my device functioning
Thanks, Nissim
You should try and install a custom kernel which also flashes clockwork mod recovery on your phine like speedmod, ninphetamine or hellcat's kernel.

Thank you for the advise.
Unfortunately digging into the above kernels you suggested, I couldn't find that any of them fits my situation (Build:GINGERBREAD.JIKI2 and kernel:XWKDD).
I saw clear warnings not to select the wrong kernel.
Look for cfroot kernel. It is almost stock. Just rooted. I think i saw ki2 over there.

So I recently bought an unlocked international version of the Samsung Galaxy S2, and so far I freaking love this phone. It's staying connected to wifi networks just fine, so I'm glad I haven't experienced that issue like many others have (-keeps fingers crossed-). Also no yellow tint so far.
I am coming to this phone from a Samsung Captivate, and I'm loving the FUNCTIONAL GPS, the front-facing camera, and everything else this phone has that the original Galaxy S should have had. However, I need a bit of help on the development side of things, because I want to flash Cognition as soon as I can.
I'm not a complete noob, but I apologize if I'm asking anything that's already been answered, so please, no "L2USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION N00B, LOLZ" trolling on here.
I followed instructions for rooting the phone just fine, and I flashed ROM's (Darky, Serendipity, Cognition, Phoenix Unleashed, CM7) plenty on my Captivate, so I understand how Odin, download mode, etc. all works.
I've got the phone rooted, downloaded the Cognition 1.6 ROM and currently trying to flash it through ROM Manager. Signature verification failed when I'm in recovery mode. I'm just wondering if there's some sort of step like on the original SGS where I have to flash to stock with Odin, then flash the ROM, etc. It's currently on KE7 firmware.
One more thing, I just realized I don't really know how to get into recovery mode on this phone either. I know Download Mode is Home + Power + Volume Down, what's recovery? Thanks in advance!
Recovery Mode is Home + Power + Volume UP .
ROM manager
Be better to follow the instructions as given for that rom .
Installation Instructions:
I highly recommend flashing the full rom! (updates can be unpredictable)
(If you have problems with the update version, flash the full rom instead)
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip from below (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery
(don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above

I just love this community!
Yes, I did follow the ROM's instructions. As I did when I was on the SGS. It's giving me "File verification signature failed!" message in recovery. That's my problem, not figuring out how to do the whole process.
Is it because it's Android Recovery 3e instead of 2e, like the problem with Froyo on the first Galaxy S? If so, how would I revert back to 2e recovery if it was 3e stock to begin with?

Yes but that's just my problem, rebooting into ClockworkMod Recovery. It's still giving me the stock 3e Android recovery, which has file signature verification enabled. I'm following the instructions but a few steps are left out because most people on here are more experienced with this phone, whereas I just switched.
On the old one, I would use Odin to go back to 2.1 Eclair and get 2e recovery before flashing a ROM. No idea how to get around file signature verification on this one.

Something wrong then suggest ask in rom post or try another rom .
Basics are as always flash a rom with root and CWM .
Unzip rom if required
Then load rom into memory card boot to 3e or 4e recovery choose zip and install .
You can toggle signature verification off in CWM .
The method works on 3e and 4e for definite .

Nevermind, I figured it out, but what you said helps others who run into this situation. I used the old method of rooting, using CF Root gives me the CWM Manager app and I was able to get into Recovery 4 this way.
Hey guys,
Yes I know there are so many threads about this. Yes I have looked at all of them. No I don't understand what's going on. No, there is no simple answer. I have spent the last 3 hours trolling the interwebs to find the answer and there is no intelligible one (I can find) to this problem.
I have:
- Galaxy S2 i9100GT
- Vodafone AU
- Just flashed kernel: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KF2-v4.0-CWM4
- Then install CWM
- Success
- Enter recovery mode.
- Bring me to Android system recovery <3e> with following error:
Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Tried:
- Taking my 32gb SD card out (did not help).
Someone in some thread said to do this:
1, Click the CWM Manager Icon in tray
2, Reboot into CWM recovery
3, Wipe data cache and Dalvik Cache
4, Install from zip
5, Reboot & restart into recovery
6, Install from Zip
7. Wait 1 min or so
8, Cyanogenmod loads!! - Yay
- WTF is Dalvik cache? (more importantly, do I need to know?)
- Install WHAT from zip?
I am a noob and about to cry. I hate myself. Help

Uninstall the cwm app then reboot. Reflash the kernel and then reboot again. The unsecure kernels have cwm and superuser built in to them you do not need. To install anything else.

Seems like you're booting to recovery using some app? Just power off your device and hold Volume Up + Home + Power all the way until you're in the recovery menu.
If you can't handle this you should use the Cf-root kernel in original android development under sgs2. Its the simplest to install and get you running

I did what you said and I can't find any CWM app in the apps list now. However, like prodygee suggested, when I enter recovery from off CWM works.
Is this how it's meant to be?
Thanks.
P.S. Also, how would I go about 'unrooting' the phone and getting Samsung Kies back on there? I think I prefer the stock tbh. I'm too much of a noob.

You might have a CWM manager app in you list, The CF-root kernel installs a custom CWM manager. Look for a little grey cog with CWM across the front of it but if not it doesn't matter.
Welcome to the world of Root !!!!!!!!
Hi,I am having similar problems with my Samsung galaxy s2.My build number is Gingerbread.XXXKI3 and the baseband version is I9100XXXKI3. I have been trying to backup my rom by using rom manager.It kept giving me the same error E:failed to verify whole file signature.So then i looked up some posts and i tried using the cwm which was loaded after rooting and when i click backup, it boots my phone and then says
android system recovery 3e and there are no recovery or backup options.Just
reboot system now, apply update from sdcard, wipe data and wipe cache partition.
Below all that in yellow it says succesfully copied media files.And some other stuff and then successfully applied multi csc.
Can someone help me backup my rom.

Thanks dor what lol i need sone help lol
when you say your phone is rooted, has it put super user on it?
if you're struggling with this then i think you'll find re-rooting with a cf-root file will be far easier for you, go in to settings and about phone and look at your baseband, it should say something like i9100xwkdd, if thats the version you are on then you need to download the corresponding cf-root, although id recommend updating the firmware to xxki3 first then cf-root with appropriate file, chainfire has a thread just for these.
Ok i check the base ban as u said and its i9100mugkg2 how do i re root it to the base ban u recomended? Where do i find the file? And yes i have the super user app
i've been doing some research as ive never seen ugkg2 before, this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16085735 explains a little about it
---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
im not sure how other people would do it, but personally id use odin v1.85 to flash xxki3, found here http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html
i would then use the cf-root for that version made by chainfire found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=732531&d=1317117018
this will root and put clockworkmodrecovery on it, once youve done these steps you can download any custom rom zip file, place it in the root of the sd card and flash
---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
i've been using a rom from androidmeda and haven't had any issues i think its the best one i've used, but are all down to user preference, are you familiar with flashing a rom with odin?
No im not this is a brand new phone and am just trying to learn the ropes. i happen to follow some instructions i found onlne it seemed to root my phone fine but now i cant fet in to clockwork recovery. so u say unroot my phone and re root it with the instructions u posted?

Hi
I am running a Stock LSD 4.1.2 JB Rom on my I9100 and do not wish to Root my phone. Yes it was rooted once but I have a specific reason for not wanting to revert back to root.
On a few occasions over the past year I have wanted to flash an app via "Recovery Mode", a .zip file located on the phone's external SD card.
On trying to flash, the following is displayed in yellow: -
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have searched and searched this and other forums and although I can find many many instances when this has ocurred with other people I have not yet seen a generic solution to this problem.
It must ocurr because of a certain situation being prevelant within my phone and the references to it on forums usually suggest they are because someone is messing with a Custom Rom and/or a Rooted Kernal etc etc.
Could someone please tell what is happening, why this is the case and what can be done to sort it please.
I would say that my phone is just over 18 months old, never has had a problem, has been flashed with "Stock Roms" quite a few times and all without wiping or restoring to the factory settings. I do not want to wipe it to sort this problem out and am hoping an easy fix is available.
Hope someone can help
ps - I am trying to install the 4.2 Camera via the patched.zip and have tried to install the "Temporary" Clockwork Recovery" app with exactly the same problem. I stress I do not want to Root.
Anyone please?

I am running a Stock LSD 4.1.2 JB Rom on my I9100 and do not wish to Root my phone. Yes it was rooted once but I have a specific reason for not wanting to revert back to root.
On a few occasions over the past year I have wanted to flash an app via "Recovery Mode", a .zip file located on the phone's external SD card.
On trying to flash, the following is displayed in yellow: -
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have searched and searched this and other forums and although I can find many many instances when this has ocurred with other people I have not yet seen a generic solution to this problem.
It must ocurr because of a certain situation being prevelant within my phone and the references to it on forums usually suggest they are because someone is messing with a Custom Rom and/or a Rooted Kernal etc etc.
Could someone please tell what is happening, why this is the case and what can be done to sort it please.
I would say that my phone is just over 18 months old, never has had a problem, has been flashed with "Stock Roms" quite a few times and all without wiping or restoring to the factory settings. I do not want to wipe it to sort this problem out and am hoping an easy fix is available.
Hope someone can help
ps - I am trying to install the 4.2 Camera via the patched.zip and have tried to install the "Temporary" Clockwork Recovery" app with exactly the same problem. I stress I do not want to Root.

You need root access to flash apps or modify your system

Ermm, do not think so. Please review this thread before making wild comments like this: -

I know in some way though that you probably thought you were helping.
Surely this problem has a cause and a solution?

u have to first flash the 'Temporary CWM recovery .zip' then select 'reboot to recovery' option in stock recovery to enter 'temporary cwm recovery' there u select the 'Camera zip file' to flash.
PS- after flashing 'Temporary CWM recovery.zip' do not reboot ur phone the normal way by doing so u will lose ur temporary recovery.
each time before flashing any zip file u have to flash 'temporary cwm.zip' file first.
Hi thanks but I know this.
Can we get back to my topic please? I would not have posted if I could flash the Temp CWM Recovery. zip file
I just need to know what causes the error I am getting and how I can irradicate it.

As the error indicates, it fails to verify the file's signature. You can't flash unsigned packages via stock recovery. The solution is exactly what was already mentioned to you:either root and install a custom kernel/recovery (you don't want it, that's fine), or use a temporary custom (non-stock) recovery. While I had problems with the stock recovery flashing unsigned zips (obviously), I never had an issue with flashing a temp recovery. Try redownloading and reinstalling it - it could be a corrupt file. Which recovery are you trying to use? I recommend the temp touch CWM by Phil (the dev of the PhilZ kernel; use link in his signature). Always works like a charm.

Nice one! Thank you
It must have been a duff file (temp touch CWM by Phil) as the one I just downloaded, installed without a problem. It was the very same program file but from a different source.
Just installed the 4.2 Camera too so now going to play
Thank you again
