I rooted my sidekick with SuperOneClick. I downloaded glorious overdose v2 to the root of my sd card. when I go into the stock recovery (which is blue), I clear my data and cache. the only other option to flash the rom is 'reinstall packages.' So I click it and I get an error message saying
'E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.'
Did I do something wrong?
You need to put cwm recovery on your phone, and then when you reinstall packages, you will go to cwm, then you can flash the rom.

Search for modded 3e recovery, there's a video in the devolpment section how to implement it. Then download rom manger, flash recovery, choose i900 then reboot into recovery. If its still the stock recovery select reinstall packages and ban its there.
Or use this odin and 3e will be there, then do the rom manager part. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

Are you rooted?
Personally id just do it with thw odin link I gave you. Back your apps up with titanium backup and your contacts via gmail. Then after you flash it with odin restore apps and install rom manager. Flash clockwork mod, select i9000, then reboot into recovery. Then if its still the stock recovery select reinstall packages then bam its done.

Hey, not to hi-jack, but im having some issues as well... I went with the rom manager method and after downloading the Infused ROM and trying to get into CWM, i hit reinstall packages and still get the blue text... Not sure what to do and am worried about messing something up.
The error i get is:
E: Can't open mnt/internal_sd/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Please help! feel free to PM me as to not hi-jack the thread although it is related

Same error as well? What ROM are you trying to install?
just put a cwm (red) Voodoo kernel in the pda slot in odin and flash in download mode, this is a shorter way than the 3e mod
also if you are already rooted then just flash with sgs kernel flasher. really easy!

i just posted a shortcut to get cwm, but if you already have 3e modded and rom manager you need to go into rom manager and "flash cwm recovery" choose i9000 but not the mtd version. this will put the update.zip on the sd card. then reboot and reinstall packages twice. it wont load cwm the first time, also
I do have 3e and ROM manager. So i'll try this out and see how it goes! thanks for the help Dani and vthonda as well! Going to have to give this a shot in the morning though... wont be able to sleep if something goes wrong...lol.
It says e: signature verification failed. S-off but no Root. Btw doing this from recovery 3e
It means you have a corrupt file. Re-download and try again.

I don't know if ur recovery has this option, but on CWM you can turn the verification process off, if u are sure your file is ok.
I flashed a new kernel too today and i had to try it 3 times in a row until the flashprocess proceeded.
Sorry 4 my english, not a native speaker

this question should definitely go in the General section or in the Clockwork Recovery thread, just so you know
if you are in stock recovery, you can get into Clockwork by choosing 'reinstall packages', provided that you have followed the instructions in the CWM thread and: 1) replaced the recovery in system/bin with the modified recovery binary from the thread, and 2) placed the update.zip from the thread on the root of your sdcard.
or u can follow sduvick mod on krylon thread
nice! I didn't know he made a script for flashing CWM.
Can someone tell me why every time I try to flash a new rom on my daughters sk4g in recovery it goes straight to the screen with reinstall packages so I pick it and it errors out and can't go further???

You probably need to visit the Recovery CWM thread and either manually replace the recovery in system/bin with the modified one and put the update.zip(clockworkmod) on the root of you sdcard... Or use sduvick's script in the thread to do those 2 things for you. Then when you reinstall packages it will take you to Clockwork Recovery.
I cant get passed the WipeData/factoryreset.
replaced recovery in System/Bin
Update.zip in root of SD.
this is what i get
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
then thats where it freezes then i gotta restore using ODIN.
any help would be greatly appreciated

hmm, that's weird. and you are getting into orange CWM by doing 'reinstall packages' in the blue stock recovery? if so, I'm not sure why that would be happening...

Try to odin back to kd1 or kg2, Then use the recovery from krylons thread. This part is important, do not use rom manager to update your recovery, the version on rm is either corrupt or unstable. This happened to me a couple of time when I first tried it too. The problem was rom managers recovery.

Should I completely delete CWM on my SD card then, and then repeat the process on krylons thread?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App
Yes, do exactly that, delete all cwm files you have on your computer and sdcard, and start all over, using krylons thread.
Ok Just need to confirm this
When I rebooot to recovery. I get the original. screen with two errors. However when I click reinstall packages. It shoots me to CWM. IT does that every time.
Am I safe to Flash? Or did I mess up some where

I am having the same problem with clockworks recovery mod but if I go to recovery from rom maniger app I got from the market it gose right into the clockworks recvery if I use any other app for rcovery it go into stock recovery and thin I have to reinstall pacage and thin it works but that's what I know about it and I fallowed the thread to the letter
if you installed rom manager, then you didnt follow the thread. go to settings/applications/manage applications and under 3rd party, select rom manager. when that comes up, select clear data and uninstall. do NOT reinstall rom manager. next, go to the root of your sd card and look for a folder named clockworkmod. if you find it, delete it. next, go back to the cwm thread and in the first post, look for a link to a file called update.zip. download it and place it on the root of your sd card. to get into cwm, boot into stock recovery and select reinstall packages. you should then boot into cwm. there is no other way to boot into clockworkmod recovery unless you flash a rom that comes with it. the version of clockworkmod that flashes through rom manager does not work right. also, once you have booted into cwm recovery after installing it the proper way, scroll down through your recovery menu and select advanced. then select fix permissions. it will say "fixing permissions...." and will sit for a minute or two. let it sit till it says "done!" then hit the back button and select reboot system now. running fix permissions should stop your random reboots. it did for me. it wont solve the screen lag, but you shouldnt have any more random reboots.
ok i did that. now the cwm do you have to reinstall it evry time you go to recovery or will it stay and the rom manager i got it after i flashed cwm becous it sead it had cwm built in
you have to reinstall packages every time. rom manager isnt gonna do crap for you on this phone. you can flash roms through clockworkmod just fine as long as you do it right, but if you try to start flashing a rom through rom manager, its gonna brick your phone. you can recover from a brick in several ways, but its a pain in the chops.
okay so im having a little trouble flashing cwm recovery on my sidekick 4g. i tried the rom manager method,. i tried the method where you change the recovery image manually. havent had no luck at all. when i go to my stock recovery to "reinstall packages all it says is "E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
help??? please and thank you..
Im having the same issue hoping this can be resolved
I have had so many isssues with this phone.
Last night actually, I had a similar problem.
I had to format my sd card (don't forget to back it up) and then restore the phone to stock firmware.
Then I rooted the phone again (a file called sk4g with good recovery).
Redownloaded rom manager.
Flashed clockwork recovery.
Rebooted into restore.
Reinstalled packages.
Seems to be working fine now.
All the files you need are in the sidekick forums on this page.
This is possibly the best website I have come across.

I tried to run CWM in System Recovery but everytime I try to install a ZIP file I get:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I read over several posts on this subject but cannot figure it out.
I have:
Samsung Infuse
Gingerbread - installed after I had bricked my phone - UCLB3_Unbrick_root_1.1.zip
My Android Recovery Menu is blue - <3e>
When in my phone, I can run Terminal and get a Linux prompt - so I assume that means its rooted.
Wanting to get CWM.zip installed so I can go on to installing ICS and then on to JB.
Any ideas on how to get passed this roadblock?
Thanks
