Getting Error in Clockwork

I am trying to create a backup rom of my system. I was clicked on "Backup Current ROM" and it takes me to the boot screen and then it gives me the following errors:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verfication failed
Installation aborted.
When I use the volume down/camera/ power button I only get these options:
Im getting blue text
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I have seen screen shots of people with green text and a lot more options. When I go into rom manager it says I have clockworkmodrecovery 2.5.2.0 installed.
I know I am rooted cause titanium works like a charm in freezing programs I don't like.
Do I need to try re-installing everything? The superuser programs says that rom manager was allowed every time it tried accessing, so I dont think it is a permissions issue.

Did you flash cockwork on your computor cuz the stock kernal isn't compatible with rom manager.

hmm I didn't know that. What would be a good kernel to use? Preferably one that won't cause me any trouble as I am noob.

I eather recomend the froyo leak or ee with pheonix for best battery life

[Q] Still can't flash

O.k. so I've rooted , then downloaded the 3e recovery that bypasses the signature thingy (the one linked from gtg's post), opened it, put it in the system/bin, replacing the old one, made sure the files set to r/w, downloaded the latest rom from gtg, used clock work to reboot. It reboots, comes up to the new menu, and fails at the "install from package..."for "failed to verify whole-file signature. then under that it says "signature verification failed" tried the "reinstall packages" from the menu and get the same thing. anyone have any ideas?

Ah you didn't mention if you set the permissions on the new recovery. if you haven't I think this is what is keeping you from flashing. watch the tutorial video on it. GL

yes, same as the other- rwxr-xr-x

try installing clorckworkmod recovery again from Rom Manager.

did that, and redownloaded and re tried it all several times. rewatched the vid, pullin my hair out! same failure everytime. I see others are having the sam e problem too. still confused : (

Do you have the update.Zip on your internal sdcard ? If not reinstall rom manager and choose captivate to get the zip.

Just curious if you ever tried doing this from the new clockwork menu you say you have.. Before you try to update package, or install zipfile delete/format the "Cache", Dalvik Cache and the "Data" from the Advanced menu then restart the phone into recovery mode and then try to install the new rom zipfile and so on.
Perhaps you are one of the unlucky ones who downloaded a damaged rom zipfile, you could re-download and try that too..
Stranger things then this happened to me many times.......

ok thanks for the advice, Ill try that

Make sure if u can download on wifi network any hiccups in dl can corrupt, if we don't get you going tonight I'll help u after work tmrw

ok, so I re-downloaded the clockwork, re dl the captivate is9000, re dl'ed the whole rom file, re dl'ed the 3e recovery. still the same result. when I open rom manager and select reboot in recovery, It reboots, and as the menu is coming up it fails without me pressing anything. So at the top, it has the blue letters that say "reboot" install package" and such, and below that in yellow letters it says" looking for package...found package....installing package...then failed in red letters with the signature verification failure notice. I made sure the recovery was in the system/bin and has permissions and is in r/w mode. also the rom is in internal sd not external. I give up! , the stock rom isnt that bad. thanks for the help though, if you think of any other ideas, lemme know. Jim

[Q] clockwork?

I have looked all over the internet for a solution to this and couldnt find an answer so hopefully some one can help. I tried to flash clockwork recovery through Rom manager and it says it was successful but every time I reboot, it just goes into 3e. Thank you to anyone who can help

Sellect "Reinstall packages" option twice, that will get you to green CWM

all I get is E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.

This worked for me
This happened to me when I was trying to copy the modified "recovery" file into my "/system/bin" directory. It looked like I r/w access tothe directory when I actually didn't....I used "System Manager" instead of "Root Explorer"...Copied the modified "recover" file to the "/system/bin directory.....then started the boot sequence over again.

You can use h8rift's with modded 3e Odin back to stock or flash community kernel.

I had the same problem. This worked for me too. Also you can factory restore. Wipe everything. Run Odin. Reroot. I usually just copy the modded 3e using root explorer cause ROM manager gave me issues.

aosp email install, help needed

So I rooted my Galaxy s3 via this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342
Then I installed titanium backup, rom manager, and root explorer, Google wallet, and adfree
using rom manager I installed clockworkmod recovery v5.8.4.9
I then tried using the stock email, just to find out it was really awful (everything goes to the inbox). I heard about aosp email and attempted to uninstall the stock email through titanium backup by using fore remove app (by recovery exploit).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308
It boots into recovery and then give me this error

Finding update package...
E: unknown volume for path [System: app/SecEmail.apk]
E: Can't mount SYSTEM: app/SecEmail.apk

My question is should I go back to the original recovery? If so how? If I do go back to the original recovery will I have to start all over again?
or is there another way to uninstall the stock email?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
nvm, I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez switch recoveries, same error...

I'd also try romtoolbox or titanium backup to do your backups.. Don't flash your ROM in your phone, do it from recovery only.
I am kind of confused as to what you are doing. Are you making custom ROMs? If you are just wanting to install new ROMs, boot into recovery and clear data and cache (AFTER BACKING UP!, make a nandroid if you'd like) Flash the .zip from recovery!!! NOT from a program after your phone has fully booted.
In other words - don't use rommanager to boot a new rom.
Romtoolbox has a nice boot to recovery feature so you dont have to hold the buttons down, among several other fantastic tools.
I personally use Titanium backup for my backups however. (romtoolbox for everything else) - you can find both these programs free in play store.
Other things to note-
- Make sure your phone is rooted properly.
- Check your download source of the ROM and download it again.
