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

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

I was running Paragon4 about a week or so, saw the update and then flashed
Paragon5 over it. The flash was successful, but I decided a few hours later
to just start over clean. So, I did the usual: flashed back to stock
(I897UCJF6) using Odin3 One-click Downloader, rooted using Galaxy S One-click
Root, downloaded ROM Manager from Market, installed it, and copied paragon-
rc5beta18.zip to /sdcard. All seemed ok up to this point, but then it got
weird when something that never happened before...happened . Here's the steps I took:
1) installed ROM Manager
2) selected Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
3) selected Galaxy S Captivate
4) "An error occured while downloading your recovery"
5) selected Galaxy S i9000
6) "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery"
selected Install ROM from SD Card
7) Chose ROM
8) Checked Wipe Data & Cache
9) Rebooted into Recovery
10) Selected Reinstall packetage
11) "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted"
12) Selected Reboot System Now
After going over the above several times, here's some of the other things
I've tried:
* deleted the update.zip file in /sdcard and manually transfered an old copy
of update.zip I had kept and tried reinstall packetage... nothing
* went thru process without sim and external sd in device...nothing
* reformated internal sd...nothing
* tried to restore a recently made nandroid backup thru cwm...nothing
* searched forum post after post for somthing similar to my
situation...nothing
* gave cappy my best pouty face...nothing
That's all I have. If anyone has any idea about what's going on, I'd really
appreciate the help. Thx.
Question
After you flashed back to stock and rebooted your phone did you do a master clear with Odin3 ?

Yeah, a number of times. Wanted to eliminate any random glitches that might happen.
Hang loose, looking
Try This
Try this:
Remove external sd.
Leave sim in
Flash back to stock
After Boot
Enable usb
Start Odin3
Connect phone to computer
Do Odin3 master clear
Remove phone from computer after phone boots
You should be good from here, back to stock
Find fresh copy of update.zip
ROOT your phone
You know the rest
lol
Just put a clockwork .zip on your phone and do it manually. I think the servers that host clockwork download are having problems

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for coming to the rescue, crystalhand & tzabka. I read the thread right after mine (ROM Manager error I NEED Help Plz) and there was an update.zip posted there. I tried that one and it work. You guys get the "Hero of the Day" award as far as I'm concerned. Sending a thanks your way.
i [email protected] love xda. everyone on here helps each other!!!
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
Sent from my B.A. Infuse 4G
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.

Hi, All,
Sorry if this has been answered before, I could not find it through search.
Whenever I reboot my Droid 2 Global, it goes straight into recovery (ClockWorkMod). I press the camera button and it reboots into the OS just fine. I tried uninstalling Clockwork, reinstalling ClockWork but that does not help.
Tried flashing but the regular firmware that I found did not work for my D2G phone.
Anyone has any clue on how to fix this?
Thanks,
shadov
Try actually removing CWM hijack files, and then reinstalling it.
Go to /system/bin, find logwrapper.bin; if it's there, delete logwrapper and rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper. Check if the problem persists (I highly doubt it), then try reinstalling CWM.
Worked
That worked, thanks, man!
Are there any resources that explain how ClockworkMod (or any recovery hijacking) works? Wanted to understand better what actually happens on the system level.
Thanks
The false logwrapper CWM installs starts the CWM binary when there's a certain file present in a certain directory. If there's no such file, it just starts logwrapper.bin and startup continues as usual. That's about it.
I tried installing ginerbread update abd it fails. That's why I am trying to solve this problem in the first place.
When I tried installing the update today, it downloaded the update, rebooted and went into recovery partition and started extracting it (progress bar was moving for about 5 seconds), then I saw droid with exclamation point, phone rebooted again and said "Update failed"
Any tips?

I'm a bit tired of explaining this all over again.
Download the standalone update file from somewhere, or fetch it from your phone's /cache directory with Root Explorer once the download completes (do not confirm installation, just fetch the zip file). Place it into the root directory (/) of your SD card. Rename it to update.zip. Reboot into stock recovery. Choose install sdcard:update.zip. Check the error messages it displays.
For 99% of the cases the problem is CWM's logwrapper.
Hey,
I have a stock infuse (at&t) rooted with superoneclick.
I installed Rom Manager and ran flash recovery. It went into recovery mode (blue) but I am missing some menu options.
I only have..
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
Delete cache data
format internal sd-card
I did reinstall packages twice as per one of the videos but I get an error message that says fail to verify whole-file signature.
I then downloaded and installed into system/bin the recovery file I downloaded from the video tutorial, but still get the error. I also removed rom manager and re-installed..
Any ideas?
I just HATE myself!

1.-Download SGS kernel flasher
2.-Download the Kernel provided in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
(CWM-community-kernev8.zip) for Froyo (since you are on stock right? if your on GB go for the other one)
3.-Put it into your SD card.
4.-Open SGS kernel flasher-->Chose kernel
5.-Chose the CMW-community kernel.zip
6.-flash it.
Wait bout 5 minutes its activating vodoo lagfix and it will give you Red CWM wich is basicly the same as green (But with vodoo lagfix option)
From this red CMW you can flash a mod rom wipe data wipe cache wipe dalvik cache etc etc.
Hope you problem solves.
If i helped ya dont forget to thank xD
Hello, all!
I'm wondering, how do you cancel an OTA update once it has started? I mean after it has downloaded, and you have chosen to install it.
Here's my problem: Everyone talks about how running an OTA update unroots your phone. No problem, I can just re-root it. What no one talks about (at least I didn't run across it before doing this) is installing OTA updates when you have TWRP installed...
So, my phone downloaded the update, and it asked me to install it. I accepted, it restarted, and TWRP came up. From there, nothing happened. I tried restarting it, and it booted up just fine. After about a minute of being up, the "Phone is shutting down" (or something along those lines) message pops up, and it reboots again.
I'm wondering, how do I go about cancelling the update? I've read online I need to download the update manually and run it through TWRP, but until I learn how to do that (and spend a few hours downloading it on this freaking slow internet connection), I would like to be able to use my phone.
Another alternative that I don't know whether is possible, can I somehow use TWRP to browse to where the OTA update was downloaded to, and install it through there? If so, what would the procedure be for doing so?
Thanks!

Boot into TWRP, click install, click(Up A Level) until you are at "/" and look in the cache folder for the update zip.
It should be in there.

Is it the "Blur_Version21.23.4.peregrine_retus.retus.en.US.zip" file? If so, that didn't work... Unfortunately it failed.
Here's what it said just before failing:
Verifying current system...
"/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/cache/..."
Error flashing zip '/cache/..."
Updating partition details...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You must have stickmount installed. Uninstall it and try again.
Note: If you changed or deleted anything in /system partition the install will keep failing. You'd have to fastboot flash the system img's from the 4.4.3 firmware.

Thank you for the reply.
Nope, Stickmount is not installed. Not sure what other apps there are that could cause this.
Not sure whether I've changed anything in /system... I don't believe I have, but an app I installed very much could have.
I'll look up this "fastboot flash" you are referring to.
Anyway, for now I am good. I copied the .zip OTA downloaded file to another location, hit the "clear dalvik and cache," rebooted, and I'm back to a working 4.4.3.
Problem solved until I decide to try to get 4.4.4 installed! (which I may never end up doing... Now that Cyanogenmod is officially out for Peregrine, I'm probably going to flash it with that when it gets stable enough (i.e. no RAM issues)).
