[Vibrant Android Development] yotadriver:
Thanks for the reply. I am in fact choosing to install .zip from sd and navigating to nero.zip file. I'm not choosing apply update.zip since this file is Clockwork recovery. Besides, I have also used ROM manager to install the ROM which bypasses the above mentioned process and I get the same result. I'll perform the process again and take a picture of the error.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
Rom manager doesn't bypass the process, it just calls it through android. Is the nero zip located on the sd root or in a folder?

May also want to verify the checksum for the nero zip to confirm you didn't experience corruption during the download.
[Vibrant Android Development] yotadriver:
I see. Actually, the nero.zip was in a folder. I moved it to the actual root but when I went to choose the file in CWR I couldn't find it. I'll check the MD5 and double check everything. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
I always keep mine in a folder also.
[Vibrant Android Development] yotadriver:
Does it still work? I was thinking this might be the issue...
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
Always works in a folder, never had an issue. Never tried it in the sd root though.
[Vibrant Android Development] yotadriver:
OK. I finally got it working. I was clearing data and cash prior to flashing. Not doing this resolved my issue. I knew it was something simple :) Thanks for the help and the great application.

Hi gang- first time posting, but been lurking the forums for a while~

Please help!

I currently have FROYO.UVJK2 with Kernel version of 2.6.32.9

in trying to load the Nero v5, i went to ROM manager and got the latest ClockworkMod Recovery to 2.5.1.2.

After this update, i push the reboot into Recovery. however, instead of going in to the ClockworkMod Recovery menu after reboot, it keeps just hanging on the Vibrant screen.

I tried to do the ClockworkMod manually with no success either, it just hangs on vibrant screen. -,-;

help!

Any suggestions? Thanks!

ROM Manager Full Version not available on Market?

I posted this in the ODIN 3 thread, but realized it might be better suited here, so here it is. Sorry if I'm putting it in the wrong place or if posting it in both places is wrong....I'm a noob at posting here.

Ok, This is my first post, but I have to say thank you to all who've done so much work. This thread just saved my rear. My phone's GPS was acting up (anyone surprised....lol). I was running the first leaked "stock" 2.2 for about a month with no issues. The gps was working well, but occasionally showed "no gps" signal. Usually, restarting gps would do it, but other times I'd have to reboot. I had to reboot this time. However, after doing so, the phone got stuck in a reboot loop.

I used this thread to flash stock eclair, root it again, re install titanium bu and rom manager, and poof! I'm back up and running nicely!

One question, I've been using the free version of rom manager, but want to buy the full version, mainly to thank the developer, but market place keeps telling me there is a server error when I click on "buy". Other apps are working and I've not had problems buying them. Anyone else having this issue? I don't know if its just my phone or a problem on market.

I'm currently running stock eclair j6..I've not flashed back to a custom rom...haven't had time.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] reddragon72:
I'm getting the same thing. I wonder if the 3e "fix" that is baked into ROM's is needed here to fix the file verify.

UPDATE: click and do and all will be good! Credit to others, I'm just linking.

I am trying to apply this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925548 to my phone.

I did download the ROM file which is "bionix-v-tw-voodoo.zip"

Copied it to the phone

From ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 clicked "Install ROM from SD card"

Selected the "bionix-v-tw-voodoo.zip"

They phone rebooted and gave me the following options:

- reboot system now

- reinstall package

- delete all user data

- delete cache data

It is not applying the new ROM.

I also tried instead of clicking "Install ROM from SD card" the "Reboot in to Recovery" but at the boot it is not giving me any option to choose the ZIP file

Please help.
[Vibrant Android Development] wuzy:
Sounds like you rebooted into the stock recovery (blue text) and not ClockworkMod Recovery (green text).

From ROM Manager you must first click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" then select Vibrant from the list. This will download CWM.

To get into CWM (green text) always press volume up+down and power at the same time. Wait till the the "Vibrant" screen reloads for the 2nd time then let go of the buttons to get into CWM. From there you can follow the usual steps.

And remember to put your "bionix-v-tw-voodoo.zip" in the root of your internal SD not external.

It's all explained in the Vibrant wiki and in the stickies at the top of this forum.

[Vibrant Android Development] Chortles:
Does anyone else have the signature verification error cause one's CWM recovery to "revert" to 2.5.0.4? Mind you, this is all after I'd flashed to 2.5.1.2.

Also, note that I get this error even when I just "reboot into recovery" from ROM Manager.

Koush, im trying to get clockwork running on a friends vibrant, but it wont work. used superoneclick to root the phone, that worked fine, but when i installed clockworkmod, and gave it superuser permissions(which also seemed ok). Flashed clockwork recovery, but it wont run. i rebooted into recovery, selected reinstall packages, but i get this error:

E: failed to verify whole-file structure

[Vibrant Android Development] texas_born:
im getting the same error. i used the same method you have. i think its because we are on 2.2 and it looks like a few post before ours someone odined back to stock then it worked. thats what we may have to do.
[Vibrant Android Development] uminchu:
Identical scenario here:

Friend's phone, which I'd previously rooted, but we were at work and I ran out of time. I hadn't installed ROM Manager and CWM or flashed a FroYo ROM yet, and I never warned him not to accept an OTA (my bad). He took the FroYo update and killed the root. I successfully rerooted with SuperOneClick, and the phone is running root apps with su permissions. I finally installed RM premium and flashed CWM, but selecting reinstall packages from stock recovery gets the same signature verification error.

I suppose downgrading via Odin, reflashng CWM, then flashing a new FroYo ROM is doable. But it's not my phone, Samsung and Odin are new to me, so I'm a bit tentative. Is there is an update or fix in the near future where the CWM update.zip will become signed, or some other work-around that eliminates downgrading via Odin? If so, then a response to this issue to let us know would be very helpful.

In prereading this post, I am concerned that it may have an impatient or demanding tone to to it, and that is not at all the intent. I'm just looking to know if I should study up on Odin, or if a simpler fix is in the works. Thanks.

I am still getting this error too, its frustrating. Most of the posts / solutions are over a year old, so I am not sure what to do, as installing the androidSDK, and some of those other solutions are not easy to follow. I am rooted fine using superoneclickv1.9.1, but after installing rom manager, it will not boot into recovery. I noticed the clockworkmod recovery version is 2.5.1.2 and there are two newer versions listed, .3 and .4, so why is .2 the one that is loaded? When I try to backup current ROM, it looks like it works, but when I go to restore/manage, there is nothing listed. The only recovery that boots is the android recovery, and running the update.zip just gets the signature verification error. Someone must have found a way to get this fixed, I just can't seem to find it. I tried a 3E recovery update solution, but it tries to do a temp root during the process and fails (i am already rooted so not sure why it is trying to temp root anyway). Anyone with any solutions please let me know. Thanks.

Ummmm Help!

At the top, click "Flash Clockwork Recovery" and after it has finished click to Reboot Into Recovery.

If this is your first time, you are very likely at the stock vibrant recovery (purple text)... Click on Re-install Packages. << ok its this way every time!

Your phone will reboot and should come back to the Clockwork Recovery (green text). << ok the phone reboots..but does not go back into recovery...it just reboots and reselecting recovery mode from rom manager menu, brings me to the 3e samsung menu!

If at stock recovery still, click reinstall packages again (not unusual for the need to press twice). <<< ok I've done this over 20 times same error

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed installation aborted

clockwork guru's help please

OK, I am trying to get my wifes Vibrant tuned up so I can get back my HD2 that she is using.

I have Odin'ed it back to 2.1,

then upgraded to 2.2. (sometimes i skip this)

then i root via superoneclick

then load up (paid version) clockworkmod app thru the market

then i flash clockworkmod via the app (vibrantmtd,yes to unsupported recovery)

then boot into recovery where you are supposed to hit "reinstall packages"

and thats where the problem is, it keeps giving error message of...

"failed to verify whole-file signature"

"signature verification failed"

installation aborted.

Believe me I have searched and searched and I cant not figure out what Im doing wrong.

btw, I have had and worked on many different variations of android and it strikes me weird that all I am supposed to do is load CWM app and I dont have to flash recovery externally. like just loading the app takes care or all the recovery stuff.

If anyone can shed some light on what Im doing wrong I would appreciate it soo much and hopefully get my HD2 back from the Wife before she breaks it again.....

[Vibrant Android Development] anoblenate:
Has there been any solutions found? The rootzwiki link just goes to the main page for me.

The same happens for me after I've used superoneclick, then rom manager as mentioned in the 1st post. I then get the "signature verification failed" error trying to reinstall packages in the stock recovery. It's done that for every package I've tried as I can't get the SU binary to update as well.

I'll think I have to try one of the non-superoneclick methods.
[Vibrant Android Development] CTown:
Those steps are overkill!

Getting to CM7 isn't that hard (going back to stock is a slightly different story)!

1)Get CWM2 on to your phone:

---a)Download: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vibrant.zip

---b)Rename it to update.zip and place on root of your internal SD card (the 13 some GB card)

2)Get a different ROM and place it anywhere on the internal SD card:

---a)CM7.1: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0.1-Vibrant-signed.zip

---b)KA7 (Froyo ROM): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923393

3)Reboot to recovery mode and keep "Applying new packages" until CWM2 boots (the green recovery). Don't be discouraged, even if it takes like 10 tries to do it!

4)Apply EITHER CM7 or KA7

*If your wife doesn't really need GB (that's not my call), I think you should install KA7 instead. My brother has it and he doesn't need to charge his phone every night and GPS works perfectly, even in doors! Just remember to reboot once or twice after installing it.
