So I rooted my phone -> Thanks XDA
and I've installed CWM but I can't boot into/install CWM recovery Console.
Everytime I try I get
E:Failed Verify Whole-File Signature
E:Signature verification failed
Installation Aborted.
Then I'm spit into the Android system recover(3e).
Where regardless of what I do I get the same error.
OR
it simply says
E: signature verification failed.
I've been reading for the last 4 days trying to figure a way around this. I've bricked and unbricked my phone 4 times.
If I've missed a thread that would help I apologize, I'm a noob around here but I'm a well versed hacker of hardware.
Thanks for your help
What do you mean you "installed CWM"
The same method for rooting your device (flashing a kernel that injects root to your device) already has CWM built in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248
Whatever you did to "install" CWM probably broke the existing CWM installation of the kernel you flashed to get root.
... well I'm ran through the infused update again..... and my phone started talk.
Scared the BA JESUS out of me LOL.
And now it works.
I figured it was something easy like that.
Thanks for your help.

Gday. I'm having this issues trying to update to the latest 8.01 version of the ultra toxic rom. I cant post as im below 10 post so this was the only place i could find for some help.
I have rom manager installed. and i also flash clockworkmod recovery then reboot into recovery. For what ever reason it will not work and im at a loss, tried uninstall it and go from there but no go.
Once it reboots it says at the top Android system recovery <3e>.
Down a little it says this.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature.
E:signature verification failed.
Installation aborted.
Basically i have searched the net and cant work it out myself. I've used it before for a backup when going from lightning rom to toxic rom. but I've never used it since.
Ok, my infuse is rooted and have done GTG, odin back to stock (at different times when CWM wouldn't install)...with root and without. I have successfully rooted and had superuser install with su# updated.
Have download CWM from the market and flashed the recovery with no luck. Download the file from XDA links and put on root of sd card, with renamed "update.zip", entered 3e recovery and reinstall packages...with the following error:
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Yes I have tried to download it again from different source in case of bad download...
Are their any other ways to install CWM......? at a lose cause my other Infuse worked on the first try of everything....
Sorry forgot to add the (Q) didn't see it....

if you get no where,
I would do a factory reset when you are running the stock ROM under /settings/privacy/reset
Then I would try the heimdall package adam outler made.

What worked for me after Odin to stock was using SGS to flash the voodoo community kernel from froyo after that it allowed red CWM to work flawlessly and then I could flash ROMs again without issue.
Just a follow up to who ever would run into my problem:
I did return to stock using Odin and could never get CWM to flash using the app from market nor putting it on the root of the SD card. I tried GTG back to stock...with no luck getting CWM either....nor could I get Heimdall to work.
So I was able to use SGS kernel flash from the market to flash the "community kernel v8"... and get CWM.....so I don't why nothing else but the SGS flasher worked.....but I got it!!
Thanks for all the input and help fellows!
Wookspy important having the same problem i just got my infuse today i rooted and 3e recovery is installed i just keep getting the verification error when installing packages all you did was flash the kernel and it worked ?
Sorry i keep getting the errors when reinstalling packages for cwm any help would be much appreciated

There is no recovery file in system/bin and in rom manager when i reboot into recovery I get the red font error E:failed to verify whole-file
signature.
E:signature verification failed
What do I need to do in order to get my phone to be able to flash a new rom??
I am a noob to linux however I have been trying to understand it for a year so its starting to make some sense but very complicated .
I have read numerous threads but am having troubles finding the right way to get this to work, so If someone could point me in the right direction I will be very grateful.
I figured it out on my own. Now I can properly reboot into recovery without any error messages.

odin/heimdall flash the root kernel or any other custom recovery 2.3 kernel back to it. the recovery replacement is for froyo. gb keeps the recovery file in the initramfs i believe so it can't be permanantly replaced without extracting and repacking that part of the kernel image.
you should simply install SGS kernel flasher and then flash the InfusionGB-CoreA2.zip kernel ! that will give you CWM. Working everytime for me ^^
Last week I successfully rooted, unlocked my bootloaded and loaded the touchwiz 4.1 ROM. Because the GPS wasn't working and some other fairly bothersome glitches I decided to flash a different ROM, wanted to try CM10. Unfortuneatly, I didn't "read carefully" and just jumped in, trying to replicate my past success by following similar steps. So I booted into recovery to wipe and begin anew.
I used the native recovery, which I've now seen was a bad idea and should have used CWM but I don't know how to install CWM now because I can't load the OS. I originally used Casual to root and help me install 4.1 touchwiz on my Verizon GS3. After factory reset I attempted to install CM10 from the SD card and got the below mentioned error. My phone is stuck. I can only access the native recovery or ODIN mode (I have a mac so I can't use ODIN and Heimdall doesn't seem to want to play nice. Please help!! I need my phone for... life. I'm happy going back to stock if I need to but I'd love to run CM10.

I'd say your best bet is to get all of the ODIN parts and see if a friend has a PC with windows on it you can use for a bit. I dont know of another way.
As far as I know, you will have to flash stock image back with Odin, I don't think anything is ready for the Mac yet. I will be glad when it is, I have 1 as well.
If you don't have any other options, use Boot Camp and Odin will work fine.

Thank you all. Using a friends pc and Odin I was able to flash 4.1 touchwiz but I wasn't able to flash a recovery and keep root.

Now that you have a working device, reroot, install cwm from play store and then make a nandroid backup and flash away. Also,be sure to back up for imei . happy flashing

Phone is tmobile 4gs, T959V with stock rom, rooted. Ok, so I was running a Team Whiskey rom, because it was the only one i could get to work but I was having mem issues, as in none. So I went back to stock rom from tmobile, through this forum. I rooted again, ✓, downloaded file for CyanogenMod 9, ✓, google apps, ✓, copyed to sd card, ✓, restarted phone in recovery mode, ✓, load from sd card, chose file, and get error
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed

I looked for "toggle signature verification" and dont see it.
So...
I did not upload a new kernal. Should I do that first? Thanks for the help
Also, I do have RomManager installed. Should I? I think I read that it doesnt work to well on this phone.
Thx
Ps. running gingerbread 2.3.6
Fixed my own Problem.
Seems having the original kernal does not give you the option to unclick verify. Updated Kernal to Blastoff by Team Acid and then went into recovery mode and there it was. Update sucessful.
Not sure how to edit the title of this post, but might help other people if "Fixed" was added.
When you boot into recovery mode, what color is all the text? It should be either blue, red or orange.
