"signature verification failed" when trying to install custom update.zip

I am trying to install an update.zip on to my Droid 1, which is rooted, but I am getting the following output:
Code:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation abored.
What is this verification process? Do I need to do this using a custom recovery mode of some sort? I think I am still using the android system recovery system.

I am not pro but I think its not possible to install on original recovery as its not signed by android.
You need to install custom recovery available and disable signature verification.

have you mounted /system? and instead of "reinstall packages" you want to select "install zip from sdcard". at least, that's how i did it flashing bionix. it may vary if you're attempting to flash something else, that's the only ROM i've flashed via CWM.

i dont have that option and i tried to use the install rom from the rom manager and i tried doing it by using the final cwm that krylon posted and it still results in the same thing. but i dont have the choice of mount/system or install zip from sdcard on the recovery screen

it definitely doesn't work via ROM manager. more info in this post/thread: http://bit.ly/l3grhw

rom manager is your problem for sure 100%

thank you i thought i had pushed the recovery file to the system/bin but i hadn't but once i did that it started and flashed it no problem

How did you push the recovery file into the /system/bin cause everytime i try it keeps giving me an error message that says cant paste because its a read only file

While in file manager hit the menu button to switch to r/w which means read/write. That will allow you to cut/paste where you need.

[Q] Installing CWM Recovery (and CyanogenMod) via Odin/ROM Manager not working?

I'm quite new to all of this flashing stuff-- sorry if I sound like a complete newbie.
So I'm trying to get CyanogenMod on my Samsung Mesmerize (Galaxy S), though to no avail. I tried to follow the guide on the wiki located at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide though it's not working. I can't even get CWM Recovery on it.
To get CWM Recovery, I'm following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734166 -- it says flash back to a stock kernel first, which I did via Odin and by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881064 (I downloaded the "EC10 Full Froyo Restore Package"... not sure what the difference is between that one and EE19 but it seems to work.)
I'll go over my steps from the beginning, starting from when I'm flashing back the stock kernel on my phone:
Flash back stock kernel (EC10 Full Froyo Restore Package) using Odin (I've also tried flashing the EE19 one)
It starts up after this, however it briefly displays "FOTA wipe failed" in red and "wipe_data failed" in yellow (along with some other stuff too, but no other errors - when I use EE19 these errors occur as well)
It starts up into the default Android system recovery - I choose reboot system now
Root my phone using SuperOneClick ('yes' to install Busybox prompt)
Insert SD card, Download & install ROM Manager from the Market (following this guide which I linked up above)
Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (Current/Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2)
Select "Galaxy S i9000"
Superuser prompt appears, I click accept
ROM Manager freezes for a bit, then displays "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!"
Choose "Backup Current ROM" - freezes for a bit, then phone begins to restart... enters default Android Recovery mode:
Install from package... Finding/opening/verifying update package...
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
When I reboot and enter the recovery mode by holding volume-power-home,
it displays "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (No such file or directory)" at the bottom.
Also, when I try to "wipe data/factory reset" in the stock Android recovery mode, it gives this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (No such file or directory)
E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount HIDDENSDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
I also know there's a "Manual Flash Overrride" option in ROM Manager - could I flash CWM Recovery manually and go that route somehow?
My final goal is to get CyanogenMod installed on my Mesmerize, though-- however, I need CWM Recovery to do that. Any ideas as to why CWM Recovery isn't getting installed, and how to fix the mmcblk0p2 error message in recovery mode (and if that's affecting anything)?
Thanks!

Yes, and i will add ROM manager only works for Mesmerize MTD systems, and CM7 IS MTD. SO, technically you need to be on CM7 already to use ROM manager.

You don't need to use ROM Manager period.

You still have the stock recovery installed. You have to flash that zip with a custom recovery. Install TWRP or CWM and give it another go.

I got twrp installed it just won't go into boot recovery so do you know the manual button combo for twrp?
Can't seem to get into twrp reboot just goes to stock recovery even on manual

Just a thought... when you flash a stock image you will lose root. Even though the Goomanager looks like it is installing the twrp it wont work without root. Check your root status through Titanium or rootkeeper etc. Sometimes the debug method seems to tell you that you have root when none of the programs are getting root access.

[Q] LG Optimus One P500 - Error Status 6 while flashing Oxygen ROM

I upgraded from Oxygen_ics_v1.1.0 to omni-4.4.4-20101210-p5100-NIGHTLY ROM. Unfortunately battery was draining like a broken pot and wanted to switch to Oxygen ROM again.
So, rebooted into CWM Recovery v6.0.4.6 and done two things:
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. wipe dalvik cache
After that when tried to select the oxygen_ics_v1.1.0.zip file through install zip menu the following error msg is flashing on screen:
-- Installing: /storage/sdcard0/oxygen_ics_v1.1.0.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /storage/sdcard0/oxygen_ics_v1.1.0.zip
(Status 6)
Installation aborted.
Anyone Kindly help with this problem...
Thanks in advance...

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck
