Cognition 4.5.3 on Samsung i897 (Captivate)

I was trying to install Cognition 4.5.3 on my Samsung GalaxyS Captivate i897. I followed the instructions up to the point of installing ClockworkMod Rom Manager.
I re-flashed back to Android 2.1 (Elcair), and ClockworkMod Rom Manager is not in the marketplace. I did the Samsung Kies Update to 2.2, and then all of a sudden ClockworkMod Rom Manager is available.
Well, I had to re-root the phone with SuperOneClick, and then installed the ClockworkMod Rom Manager, and continued to follow the instructions.
I told ClockworkMod Rom Manager that I had a Samsung GalaxyS Captivate, and then to Install Rom from SD Card. When it rebooted, I went to "reinstall packages" and it crashes with
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any ideas?

Unable to install Custom ROM

Model number : GT-i9003
Firmware Version : 2.3.5
Baseband Version : I9003DDKP4
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.XWKPG
I dont get the option of :"install from SD card" in ROM manager Pre 5.0.0.5
Everytime I try for Nandroid backup, get an error
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e: singnature verification failed
Any help to overcome this is welcomed

if im not mistaken your not yet rooted right? root first using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056 download the bagaria.tar flash it via ODIN in PDA. then try going to recovery again.

Its already rooted using oneclickroot. I even verified my root through rootcheck

By using oneclickroot, you have rooted the phone, but have the stock recovery. U need to use Clockwork mod recovery to install roms and backup.
Go HERE and download the Cf-root (Attached to first post) and flash it via Odin (Select as PDA). After this, you should be able to use Clockwork mod recovery and backup/restore and install custom roms.

[Q] getting back to GB

Hi Here I have a BIG problem with understanding whats going on. This is forth week how i'm trying to push update for GB 2.3.1.
a little story:
I had ICS based MIUI rom installed for around 1.5 year and was extremely happy with its UI and performance and regular weekly updates - since it become more and more lagy after every update. my phone was to week for its software and I decided go back stock.

It's normal you can't flash OTA because you have a custom recovery. You need stock recovery for that. You can download a factory image from Google, extract it and flash the recovery inside using fastboot.

ALSO, stop using Odin. There's no need to use Odin or nearly on Nexus S. This thing is nearly unbreakable and you have more chances of breaking stuff with Odin than anything else.

thanx for quick replay
flashed factory GB 2.3.6 straight away using sdk tools
now will root it and install custom clockwork recovery to prevent from automatic OTA updating to lagy ICS

Use FOTAKill instead,

Thanx for good advice. Installed it allready.

[Resolved] [Q] failed to verify whole-file signature

Hi,
I flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS using ODIN and attempted to install CWM using ROM MANAGER but whenever I boot into recovery all I get is:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
About phone reveals:

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJW4
I have read loads of different posts about fixing this but I do not want to screw up the phone. Can someone please help me before I go mad? I believe that I need a '2e' recovery but where exactly do I get it and install it?
I am not a rookie and had absolutely no problems with my HTC Desire or ZTE Blade but this Samsung is something else.
Cheers guys.
