Put this on your internal SD card along with your ROM of choice. Reboot in to recovery and install packages 2 times. The second time it will be in clockwork recovery and you can flash your ROM.

I just had the same problem after doing countless ROM flashes in the past. Perhaps its something in their server preventing the download of CWM? Anyways, thanks for the .zip. Worked like a charm!

yes thank you very much for that zip u saved my life well appreciated

Keep that .zip on your HDD and you can bypass Rom Manager (and all the associated problems) altogether.

I have my phone rooted and unlocked. It's the AT&T Captivate but I'm using it on T-Mobile. I've had no problems so far with it.
I downloaded Clockwork's Rom Manager (v3.0.0.7) and tried to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to begin experimenting with ROMs.
When I click on that it tells me "An error occurred while downloading your recovery."
I have over 4 gigs of memory left and I have 3 bars on 3g and WiFi going. No internet connection problems (i checked the net using market and using the browser, it works fine.)
What else could be causing the problems.
I'm just wanting to get a good stable rom going which ditches all the junk AT&T put on the phone.

Read the above solution...

I Can't get the update.zip file to work. After I reinstall packages is says E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or derectory) Installation aborted. I've tried it probably 20 times today with no luck.

Thank You
Nothing like flashing to find out it wasn't working. Thanks for making my day go better.

Noobie Mistakes

---Install from sdcard---
Finding update package...
Opening update package....
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature

if the update.zip is already on your /sdcard/ then there is no reason to try and download/flash clockwork recovery.....thats what the update.zip IS

thats what i thuoght but not true. even goin in normal recovery and selecting to install packages gets a error some about no such directory or something even though updat.zip is there even fix permissions gives a error

I'm having the exact same problem. After reading the development section I have decided to flash a custom rom from my stock rom. Installed "Rom manger" from market, then tried to run the "recovery" got the same error msg. Also uploaded the update.zip to my /sdcard the I got the below errors:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Did you flash back to stock JF6 first not JI6?

try this cuz this is what i did and the update.zip worked just fine for me
1. one click back to stock jf6
2. master clear
3. root with galaxy s one click root
(after the root there should be an update.zip in your sdcard)
4. replace the update.zip in the root of your sd card with the one here posted which is the clockwork recovery one and if you want while u do that you can throw in the rom that you want to flash in there as well to kill 2 birds with one stone
(i will re post the update.zip for cwm just in case)
5. power off the phone and boot into stock recovery and hit reinstall packages two times
6. you should now be in clockwork mod recovery and can now flash the rom of your choice
this is what i did and everything went smoothly but this is just me if this helps someone else plz let me know if this works for you
p.s. i will make a video if needed just ask

Try This
After flashing back to stock do a master clear from Odin3
Put update.zip onto internal sd
Boot into recovery
Reinstall packages
After boot enable USB debugging and mock locations
Get Rom Manager from market
Start Rom Manager
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Flash away

You guys are making it harder then necessary, the update zip I posted is the clockwork recovery MOD, just flash stock, reboot into recovery and reinstall packages 2 times and you will be in the green clockwork recovery then you can install zip from sd and choose your ROM you placed on your internal sd card. No need to root every again as long as you keep this update zip handy.

I too am having problems with Rom Manager. I just wanted to change modems. No go. So I used the power button to go into Recovery mode, picked the modem file, flashed it then told the menu to reboot system.

Rom Upgrade Help Required

Hello All,
I need your help regarding upgrade my captivate which is running on 2.1. I had hard bricked it once before when I was trying to update it via odin. Just got fixed it back from mobiletechvideos.com. Now I want to upgrade it to gingerbread Can anyone tell me any stable rom which I can upgrade safely and have 0% chance to hard bricked it again. Or any rom which I can flash via any other tool not via odin as I thought last bricked was caused due to odin. Pls help me.
I like the MIUI rom but I saw that it use ODIN so I am a bit afread to try it
Thanks

My understanding of the process.
I'm fairly sure you need to use superoneclick to root, that's step one. Next go to market and dowload ROM manager and install it, that's step two.Step three, flash clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager. Choose captivateMTD and let it flash. Step four, now go to the download ROM and choose an MTD ROM. I reccomend cyanogenmod as its aosp, overclocked and generally awesome. They have a stable build that's a great dd. Step five is to flash it. When the download completes it will promt you to wipe data and cache, clear everything and hit go. Step six would be to dl and flash gapps with ROM manager. Wipe cache and install. After all this you should be on cm7 stable. Pm me if you need help. I have the drivers and all files you could possibly need in my dropbox account.
Good luck and enjoy cyanogenmod.

please, for the love all that is holy, leave your phone alone if you dont know how to use GOOGLE
http://bit.ly/uoGYG7

I tried to download superoneclick via this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
All archive showing me damaged only 8 mb version is working but when I tried to root it via that version it shows me FAILED msg at the end. Any help in this regard ?

You do not need to root your phone to install a custom rom.
If you currently are on 2.1, boot into recovery and flash this zip file.
From here you can go about installing a gingerbread kernel and rom.
If you are unsure of the process, please do lots more research before you go flashing anything. If you brick again it's not my fault.

Step One: Root Done
Step Two: ROM manager installation Done
Step Three: flash clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager (When I clicked on it asked me that confirm phone model and when I clicked on samsung captivate MDT it said that clockworkmod not officially supported the captivate MDT and have you installed clockworkmod based recovery manually if I clicked on yes it proceed to the next screen and if I clicked no it said that without it rom manager will not work. If i clicked on yes it proceed to the next screen and asked me the clockworkmod version 2.x or 3.x. I select one of them and click on the install rom from SD card and then browse to my downloaded rom when I clicked on rom and it will ask me to backup exsisiting rom, wipe data and cache and wipe dalvik cache. I had selected last 2 options and clicked ok then it asked me to press ok to reboot into clockworkMod Recovery and continue the installation when I clicked ok and rebooted where it showing me 4 options: rebbot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. After that I don't know what to do BTW I downloaded MIUI rom as I wana try it )
Any Help ?

Its sounds like you are in the stock recovery still. When you get to the screen with four options click reinstall packages and it should take you to clockwork recovery. The you will have many more options. You will want to go to install zip from SD card then choose zip from SD card and then navigate to your rom of choice and click it. Then it will go through the install process and when it is done hit reboot now and you should be running your custom rom.

Ok here come the problem again. I install the update.zip from sd card and the phone took me into the clockworkmod recovery a new menu then I install update.zip and after that I click install a zip from SD card.

Phone is in the same state and doing this thing again and again. I remove the battery and power on again and its doing same thing any help ?

Get into cwm again via buttons and flash cm7 one more time. Should fix the error you're seeing.

Error during install rom through CWM

sometimes if i want to instal new rom to my device this message appear on cwm mode and the installation cannot procces :S ,
i tried to change the kernel from 7 to 8 but it still the error
some custom rom installed normally but i face problem when installing cyangomed , miui and vurrunt as example

check state of rfs/ext4...
assert failed :run_program("/tmp/updater.sh")==0
E:error in/emmc/cm9-galaxy sl-IM74k-alpha2.zip
(status 7)
installation aborted

it may be that if one rom has the sd card swap and another doesn't, and you have your sd cards set a certain way, the one that matches your setup will work and the other won't. if that's not how it works, then you may have a phone issue.

try to flash the stock firmware first and then flash the rom.

redownload your zip and then go to cwm and disable toggling and signature

[Q] E:signature verification failed?

Hello and thank you ahead of time,
I have been trying to load my first ROM onto my Nexus S after finding the ICS "update" that Google gave me was a load of troublesome crap.
Through this forum I successfully rooted my phone and installed Super User app. However after wiping date/factory reset and wiping the cache, I tried to install Cyanogen and get the following lines:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Your guidance is greatly appreciated!

The recovery on your phone, does it say Clockworkmod recovery at the top? It sounds like you may still be using the stock recovery.

Yes it says Android system recovery <3e> at the top.
I installed Clockwork Mod recovery before I rooted my phone. I guess with the wiping of my device it is gone.

That does happen. You'll need to install clockworkmod again as the stock recovery cannot flash unofficial roms.

Does anyone have a link to Clockwork mod that I can download right to my phone? I'm having issues in general with my computer's internet and in China I apparently can't find or download directly through the marketplace.

i know the link but i cannot leave reply

i had been running back and forth with this rom flashing for a week now. i just can't get through the signature verification failed part.
help will be highly appreciated.

i already installed clock work mode, but it's still show recovery e3, what should i do?

After you instal the cwm flash the recovery from cwm and reboot into recovery,this is a cwm option. From the recovery flash your favourite rom.

[Q] Signature Verification

Hello folks I have the US Verizon version of the Galaxy S III and when I try to install a rom from either Rom Toolbox or Rom Mananger I get sent to the recovery screen. Once I navigate to the selected rom I set a Signature Verification error and the little Android fella drops. What can I do to fix this. Not all roms act this way but this Miui rom doesn't seem to install. As a matter of fact, any rom I install via the recovery acts this way.
Please help. Thank you.

What recovery are you using? Instead of Rom manager use ez recovery and flash either cwm or TWRP and then flash the rom. Check the md5 of the rom to make sure it matches. I also think there is a setting in a custom recovery for signature verification
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

You cant flash roms from stock recovery...you need cwm or twrp recovery.

Being that I'm a newbie with this particular phone, I need help in terms of the method you guys are suggesting. I either use Rom Manager or Rom toolbox for flashing but was only successful with Rom Manager for at least two roms but were unstable. Please get back to me on steps on how to get around the Signature Verification where the little Android falls with a red error message.
Thanks.

Thank you for all the advice. I just installed Goo Manager which works with TWRP. I hope it works. I'll update as soon as possible.
