This problem started when I was trying to root my phone with Rachmat3's method when it couldn't mount sd card... Although I tried I tried with many ways nothing happened... always the same message: failed mount /sdcard..
I managed to root it somehow and I flashed Resurrection remix 1.0.. So far so good.. I downloaded rom manager(don't know why exactly, just read that it was helpfull) and noticed that i had no clockworkmod so i flashed it by rom manager.. I guess this means that now I have it installed in my phone.. which means that if I reboot my phone into recovery mode it will launch cmd or if not through recovery mode i'll find it into sdcard and install it from there... Right??? Correct me if I'm wrong please... So although I see in Rom manager that I have clockworkmod it doesn't launch in recovery mode... even if I try reboot into recovery through Rom manager when it goes into recovery, stops after a while with this message can't found cache/update.zip.. So I think maybe the problem is that this file misses(I don't know why of course.. i sure not delete it myself on purpose) is there any way to download it manually and put it into cache throw root browser??? Dont know... just saying! Or I don't know... am I missing something????
If you want CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which includes it such as CF-root or any of the custom ones.

I used CF-root already... it's the only method I managed to root it cause i'm on ICS... I downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip from this page.
I managed to get clockworkmod touch after all so guess my problem solved!!!
But still have no idea why showed that message...

i have spent the last 2 days searching these xda forums. btw u guys rock. i would not have gotten throgh rooting and putting a custom rom my first phone if it wasn't for you. anyway, i found out the hard way that trying to mod an atrix with 2.3.6 on build 4.5.141 is not easy. after many wrong turns, i was finally able to unlock my bl and get my phone rooted. then i was able to play with cwm. i was able to backup my current rom, but cannot reboot into recovery. this made me curious so i tried to enter android recovery which failed as well. both ways gives me the droid guy and a triangle. i went thru all this work so i could flash a cool rom ( thinking cm7 since it seems to be stable, but i wanna check around). since i cant reboot into recovery, im kind of at a stand still. i did my best to search through the forums before i asked any stupid questions, but im stuck. please help me.
What have you tried to get into recovery? How did you install a recovery?
Delete install-recovery.sh @ /system/etc.
Then, install Rom Racers recovery via fastboot.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix.
I tried to reboot into recovery from rom manager. When that failed i powered phone up holding volume down, then scrolled to android recovery option. i used automatic unlock v4.2 to unlock bl's (option 1). I did not use option 2 to root since i was not familiar with tenfar cwm. So i rooted using method #1 from rootzwiki's atrix page. I then chose option 6 for cwm recovery and rom manager. I went to market, downloaded rom manager. When i opened rom manager, i clicked flash cwm recovery. then tried to reboot into recovery and....dead end.
thanks swiftks. i was actually looking into following your advice. just didnt want to post until i tried. anyway, i already have rom racers zip downloaded onto my internal memory. the plan was to use rom manager to install rom from sd card just like its says on the noob page. just was never able to get that far. so im sorry for my ignorance, but how do i go about deleting that file. and how do i use fastboot to install rom racers recovery? im trying my best to learn. i broke my captivate a few days ago and this phone is new to me. plus, im not exactly a tech expert. i just follow directions well and have learned just enough to get myself into trouble
Ill let swift answer from here cuz im stumped. I do know to delete the file, you need root explorer (can find on play store) and root access. Open root explorer and navigate to system/etc then find the file and delete it.
update. so before i went hunting down root explorer i tried to flash cwm recovery through rom manager one last time (3rd time, every time said it was successful. lo and behold, i got into recovery. i am now going to attempt to upgrade to rom racers cwm. i did at one point download a fastboot file, just cant remember if i installed correctly cuz i was pretty drunk last night. how can i verify. i do definately have sdk tools tho. checked for adb devices. is fastboot under sdk tools? or was that a dumb question?. nevermind. i do have fastboot. found my fastboot device. Then entered "fastboot erase recovery" failed 000300003. im pretty sure this needs to be deleted as u suggested. when i got recovery to open, i went back and tried to finish installing romracers cwm via rom managers install from sd option. got the triangle again. reflashed cwm thru rom manager and was able to boot into recovery. from there i tried to install zip from sd, installation successful, reboot propmpt. rebooted. wnet directly to rom manager, tried to reboot into recovery... triangle. reflash thru rm, recovery boots. reboot system. tried to reboot into recovery, but triangle is back. the only way for me to get to recovery is reflash it everytime before i use it. this has got to be because i never deleted the path you suggested, right? im really tryin here, but i feel like im stuck inside a real life boot loop

On my computer the path for fastboot is android-sdk-tools/platform-tools/fastboot
i downloaded root explorer. deleted install-recovery.sh @ /system/etc. once i did this i was able to use fstboot commands from rom racers page. fastboot erase recovery was successful. then tried 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img'
error: cannot load.
im chipping away at it but wow. thoght i would be flashing cm7 by now. I do appreciate your patience, lord knows mine is running low

At this point are you still not able to get in recovery?
finally, success! just figured out what the hell im doing with fastboot. unzipped romracers cwm to same folder containing fastboot, finished last part of cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then fastboot reboot and voila! i now have rom racers cwm. i will now enter rom manager, backup rom (which i understand is a nandroid process). then start researcing cm7 and eventually some more roms to play with. thanks for all of your help
once recovery was fixed, everything was a breeze. put cm7zip on internal sd, installed from recovery, data wipe then cache wipe, then reboot. iput google apps zip on internal sd, installed from recovery. fancy new phone! only took me 3 days to do it. i hope someone else can learn from my mistakes

I had this problem once to. On my HTC Flyer, nothing I could do to recognize the phone. I had to ditch the HTC Driver and tried every copy of the android drive I could find on XDA. I will see if I can find the file that worked for me. But in the interim you may want to try a few.
BTW I am not an expert. This worked for me and it sounds like the same situation to me. :fingers-crossed:
Here's a question: where'd you get the recovery? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, i don't see your device as supported. Also, i believe they're called universal naked drivers, that may be of help.

and in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129298, the cwm versions are removed.."CWM 6.0.2.7 is not save to use, you may damage your phone. "
so hopefully you tried these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
I am not a developer or anything & havent read many forums...but while playing with myTouch I did get stuck a few times.
Somethings I cant point out if u wanna try as a layman:
1. can u mount your sd card through recovery?
2. if you can than just pick another rom for your device and put it onto your sd card
3. wipe data & partition, wipe cache, delete davlik. some devices work ONLY with wipe script (for my friend only the wipe script worked)
4. dont use odin. go to cwm recovery & install zip from sd card & choose the rom (the 1 from step 2).
I think that should get u out safely....hope it helps
@bodh
i actually installed a cwm 5 version
maybe thats the cause of the whole problem
@indiankarmas
i did install multiple roms from the sd card, first cm9 then stock rom
but it doesnt really work
how i fixed the problem:
when i flashed cm9 and used the bootloader with odin to pass the recovery mode my phone booted the stock os
installing from the external sd didnt work, i just wiped my phone for nothing
it booted the stock os, i didnt want this but this made my pc recognize my phone
so i transferred the rom and gapps in the internal sd
got back to recovery mode and installed from internal sd
and used the bootloader again to pass the recovery mode
again, i appreciate you guys trying to help me out
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?

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
Hi yeasterday i did a full wipe on my sgs 2 i9100 and installed newest omnirom version, today i tried to install supersu and i wasn't able to, so remembered that i have somehow managed to install supersu few months ago when i had installed omnirom, i wasn't sure how i have did that so i tried to install Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 with odin, and my phone was only showing sgs2 logo with yellow triangle, so then tried jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a, and i got the same logo, so please can someone help me ?
@Walkman23 so far as I hear you are flashing the wrong kernel for omni. Just reboot into recovery and reflash omnirom if you still want to keep it.
Yellow triangle is a marker that you had flashed with odin(flashcounter) nothing to worry about, you can remove it but I suggest to only do that when you sell your phone. The triangle is nice to me .
Also the kernels you were trying to flash are for stock only I believe. Find an kernel for omnirom.

how do i put omnirom into my phone ? cause i have deleted them
@Walkman23 sorry for late response I was away but you can adb push the rom to your phone. But you need to be in recovery mode and have the drivers for your phone installed and you need adb.
So install drivers and adb.
Adb push romname.zip /sdcard/
Or you need to have an micro sd card an put the rom on the sd and insert it in your phone and flash the rom.
I also saw your PM.
For an simple adb utility without the need to download the whole sdk install this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
@wulsic i tried pushing it yesterday it worked cause i had twrp now its cwm 6.0.2.7 and when i push it to sdcard i cant find it
@Walkman23 I think that the /storage/ location is different on the galaxy s2. Thats why you couldnt find it.
Can you check the path in the recovery where your virtual internal sdcard is?
@wulsic thank u fixed it
@Walkman23 Nice that you fixed it so remember now also flash a kernel specific for which rom you are using, so for cyanogenmod/stock/aosp based roms. Also that kernel and recovery are combined on the s2. And also that you now know the storage path where to adb push when you can still acces recovery

Ok now my frined. You didnt do anything wrong. The mistake is done on the CM11 Thread that no one didnt change the installation guide with the right one. Coz no one cares tha many people are bricking their phones with those bad instruckitions. Use this guide and everything will be good http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ogenmod-11-t2808268/post54368918#post54368918
Just remember when you flash CWM 6.0.5.3 go to advantance and reboot recovery. Also remove your PIN CODE before booting into CM11 coz it was a bug with that .
