[Q] Trying to install a new ROM on Sidekick 4G - General Questions and Answers

Okay, so I rooted it with SuperOneClick, and I downloaded everything onto my phone. I boot into recovery mode, and then when I go to click "reinstall packages" I get a message saying "e:failed to verify whole-file signature e:signature verification failed" and for the life of me I can't find information on how to get around that.
I noticed that when I try to boot into recovery, it's using stock recovery instead of Clockwork. How do I fix that?

[Q] Problem installing custom ROM

Hello, I hope you guys can help me. I ran the one.click.root.exploitv2.4.0.zip and the one.click.clockworkmod2.5.1.0-fixed.zip.
However, when I try to install a ROM, I get
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
After doing a few searches, I am assuming my kernel is wrong. However, I can't install a new kernal using clockwork because it errors out when I try to install fluffy.
I feel like I'm in a catch-22.
What should I do next?
I fixed the problem myself I believe. I did the following:
while phone is off, hold vol down and camera button, then power on the phone
and installed the fluffy kernel after booting into the custom clockwork.

You can disable signature checking somewhere in the cwm menus, but please be sure that you know what you're flashing

[Q] Clockwork and no backup

Howdy all, yay another newbie!
Phone is a droid 2, verizon network. I rooted it last night with the super 1click, have SU access, wireless tether and installed rom manager free version.
Flashed cwm recovery to 2.5.08, tried to backup existing rom and had an immediate reboot with no backup made. Tried repeatedly same results, reflashed cwm repeatedly same results. Tried to change the cwm recovery version, and have
2.5.08
2.5.1.4
2.5.1.3
2.5.1.1
listed. But trying to load any but 2.5.08 returns "An error occurred while downloading your recovery.
I tried going into CWM recovery through rom-manager but it immediately reboots back to normal, no recovery screen.
I entered into normal recover and tried to run the 'update.zip' which returns
E:Can't open /cacherecover/command
Install from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I wiped back to factory through the normal recovery screen and started fresh and am getting exactly the same as before with everything above tried again.
I have not tried installing a new rom, don't want to go that deep until I know I can reset if needed.
Any help or other ideas? What I've been able to find by searching hasn't resolved the problem yet.

[Q] CWM: No "reinstall packages" option

I have a rooted stock Rogers Infuse that I restored from a choppy JB installation using instructions from here. I'm trying to install CWM to make a back up image of the the phone before I take a second shot at JB. I followed both methods and the youtube video for CWM and missed around a lot with the "recovery" and "update.zip" files. I'm confused about which one exactly needs to be replaced. I deleted and replaced both files multiple times by now. Anyways my main problem is that I never got that "reinstall packages" option in Android stock recovery, and always end up with the two ugly red errors:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature.
E:signature verification failed.
I noticed that when I place a custom recovery file in root and flash it with "apply update from sdcard" i only get the second error.
I hate to redo the whole odin thing without creating a backup image of the phone first. Any ideas of why I'm not succeeding in getting CWM to work ? Thanks a lot.
