Now I am running Darky Rom 10.2.2 with Crysis Sensation theme and the funny thing is I am able to i am able to flash the10.2.2 zip file and the Sensation theme but nothing else..
I even was able to flash MIUI which I was using for a few days before I eventually got this same error when i went to reflash it
Anyone here have a solution to this problem because I am starting to give up
Any help would be much appreciated
Disable signature verification, and see if that works. Most likely a problem with your ROM, SD Card, or some magical obstruction making the phone not read the SD Card properly.

I disabled signature verification but still did not work...I can say it is probably a problem with my rom or sd card yet its odd that I can flash Darky Rom to 10.2.2, the key layout and a theme but nothing else...I am so confused lol
I flashed CWM recovery via Rom Manager which I read that I shouldn't of done...But I heard that I can flash back to stock then reroot my device...Any thruth to this? I just want to flash Cyanogen mod to my device, is that too much to ask lol
It's not a zip within a zip is it?

No it isn't
I know it has something to do with flashing CWM via Rom Manager because I wasn't able to flash any roms after I did that

Hey, I've been working on rooting my continuum with the new froyo leak. Everything seems to be working just fine and then when I try to run cwm recovery it always has the following message: E:failed to open/sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory) E: signature verification failed Installation aborted.
I've tried starting over, renaming the zip file, deleting it from the sd card and putting it back on again, nothing seems to work and I continue getting the same message. PLEASE HELP!

Use "toggle signature verification" in CWM ?
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
I don't have CWM. That is what I'm trying to reboot into when the file keeps saying it doesn't exist.
I followed all of the directions exactly, but perhaps there is something that I should have done or had on my phone before attempting?
Hi:
Following gtg465x's instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881, I updated my stock recovery to modded 3e recovery. However, continuing with the update for ClockworkMod Receovery, I see a failure.
Here's what I see when I try to "apply update from sdcard":
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
It appears the 3e recovery I have isn't modded, and hence is still trying to verify the signature. I've tried downloading the (modded) 3e recovery a couple of times, just to make sure I'm getting the right one.
Interestingly, I don't have a file called recovery in /system/bin, but I do have one in / and one in /sbin. What gives?
I am on GINGERBREAD.UCKL2.
Any suggestions?

Edit: Sorry didn't see the end of your post. I always install cwm right away before I flash another rom.
Hi:
Tried exactly that. Unfortunately, didn't do the trick for me. I wonder if it's perhaps because of those extra recovery files in / and /sbin. Is it safe to delete them?

just dl sgs kernel flasher if you're already on gb.
flash entropy's kernel to give you recovery
I do not know if it is safe to delete them. Only thing I would know to do is to go back to stock and install cwm to see if that works. Sorry that I'm not much help.

can't be done on gb, you're trying a froyo proceesure.
kl2 is even worse cuz its hard to root. you need a custom kernel. how did you getroot anyway?
If he still had root, sgs flasher will work.
If not, heimdall one click defuse kernel in dl mode?
Would odin entropy also give you recovery to flash other ROM?

yes that all would work. but defuse is froyo so it is temporary so a gb kernel in a cwm package must be on the sdcard first to flash the phone back to a bootable state. kernel flasher will backup the kernel on the phone and make it cwm flashable, but if you have kernel flasher there is no need for defuse. defuse oneclick is a means to an end on gb. it's only foe the purpose of getting cwm to flash something else.
I had this problem just a few minutes ago things how I did it... First use root explorer down load the mod 3e place it in the system folder in the bin ( I didn't see it with astro but root I did) I renamed the recover in there as recoveryold then place the new recovery in there. Now make sure the permission the same as the original.. Now once that done just back out and close root manager... Goto to rom manager go into reboot into recovery. Then once it reboots cycle down to were it says install repackage (or something like that). Choose that option you may have to do it a few times.. I did but it worked... So then you should have cwm?.. Hope that helps

Did you extract the recovery from the .zip or renamed the .zip recovery.zip? i extracted the recovery from the zip and placed it in the system/bin and made sure the permissions were correct. Then in cwm i booted into recovery. then phone froze when i tried to do an android back up. And yes i have froyo 2.2.1

Hey all.. I am pretty new here.
Lately, I've tried a few rooms here, since the last I flashed my Optimus one p500 was year a go. Last week, I tried Icysnap Octopussy..but I have a problem when I just want to change to MIUI UI One Xpression...
I use clockworkmod, boot into recovery mode.. and, as usual: wipe factory reset, dalvik cache, battery, sd ext.. but when I just want to flash the [ROM] UI-One [MIUI- GB] XPRESSION [01-12-12], it goes:
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Wrong digest:
system/lib/libsurfaceflinger.s
o
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
--------------------------------
I dont have any comparison when I use md5 checker, but when I expand the zip file in windows, I found libsurfacelinger.so..
anybody know?? need a guide here...
thankyou so much

are you kidding me?
i really wanna know why can't people read before asking?
you don't need clockworkmod to flash 4.2.2
and you can't, if it actually started, you'll actually brick it
do your own searching job in the whole s2 plus forum
there are so many complete guides around the whole forum and nobody reads and keep asking questions which answers have been provided already.
just as @KINGbabasula said
"if everyone is 'just asking', then the whole forum will be filled with useless and meaningless questions"
Ok first of all you dont need to be such nervous about it -.- ... Im a newbie and dont understand very well the process . Can you please post a link of it it will be appriciated . I will delete the post then evetybody will live in peace

erm,you have the wrong concept:
first of all,the method you use is for custom rom or any modded rom with zip file.
but what u have there is official firmware,which meant for flashing with odin(some sort of samsung's flashing program)
1)exact the file u downloaded until you got .tar.md5 in the end of the file name.
2)download odin 3.04
3)select ''I9105XXUBMH4_I91050XEBMH....tar.md5'' in the ''pda''
4) click ''start'' once u connected your phone in download mode(power+vol up+home button)
something like the photo i attached
Nothing happened

you were not flashing 4.2.2

Brian was right,you flash 4.1.2 again,try to separate firmware and don't get confuse. This is the link
http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/13204/Galaxy_S_2_Plus/GT-I9105/SER/I9105XXUBMH4.html
Yep you have to know what is a firmware and what is a custom rom. Or you'll risk bricking your phone in your further flashing

Official 4.2.2 can be installed with odin, not in cwm
Whenever I try to install the clockworkmod on my phone manually it says: "E: Signature Verification Failed"
I have A Samsung Galaxy Exhibit t599n.
Please reply back if you have a solution.
You can toggle this when you go into 'install zip from SD card'. If you select 'toggle signature verification' it will display 'enabled' and then select again and it will be 'disabled'. That should work. If it doesn't, don't flash that ROM, try downloading it again, check MD5 sums, check that it is a ROM for your phone, and if all are the same, have another go.

Oh sorry! I mis read! Only have a little screen you see. Try re flashing it? Or another method? That is bizzare. Sounds like the one you are trying to flash wasn't signed when it was compiled. So yeah, try another version of CWM
