I've used search and still can't figure it out. Rooting - Captivate General

I rooted my Captivate but got the
e:failed to verify whole-file signature
e: signature verification failed
error in CWR.
I tried Odin 3v1.85 and when I put the phone into download mode, Odin has 1 yellow box with 0 comm 9.
Rooting with Super1 click still gives me
e:failed to verify whole-file signature
e: signature verification failed
I tried 3e_recovery to fix the 3e error.
I want to flash a ROM but an stuck on how to successfully root the device.
Running stock Froyo 2.2 Kernal version 2.6.32.9
What am I doing wrong?

You could download a Froyo kernel with root, and then flash it with Odin. Your root and recovery problems will be solved...
here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

OP...use TRusselo's Guide linked by -SGA-. There is no need to get Root first in order to flash a Rom.
That guide is up to date and is all u need to follow to get to a custom Rom. :thumbup:

Try this [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY
Good luck!
Make sure you back everything up first. The Odin3 will wipe everything out.

Good advice, but I assumed that if they could go to Froyo they could also read the OP of the Odin post.

You have to reflash clockwork and re-install packages, then try to flash the rom from rom manager.

Unlock

Hey guys is there a one click unlock to unlock this phone instead of terminal emulation and enter all those codes.and also can I flash thru rom manager?
Don't use rom manager. And just call Tmobile to unlock the phone for free

So the only way to flash a rom is to use eugenes recovery method? I downloaded the update zip file but it keeps on saying signature verification failed
Have you even looked at the Bible thread ?

[Q] Modified e3 Recovery

Hi there,
I own a Rogers Samsung Infuse. I rooted and flashed CM9 onto my phone yesterday. Long story short, had an issue with Google Apps, and ended up with a phone that would constantly boot to the CWM Recovery screen.
I was able to use ODIN3 to get my phone back to stock, but could not flash CM9 (or anything) with CWM as I was (and still am) getting the:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I tried using this: Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e), but the phone kept getting stuck at the Samsung screen.
I tried watching the modified e3 recovery video on youtube, but my recovery file is sitting in the root folder, and not in system/bin where it should be. I ignored the location of the file, replaced it with the modified e3 recovery file, but when I rebooted my phone, it's as if the changes didn't take place.
I've been digging (maybe not hard enough) for a solution to this problem. CM9 looked fantastic for the 5 minutes I had it on my phone.
What can I do now?
It sounds to me like you lost cwm recovery if you want to flash cm9 you need to flash the ics recovery file. Doesn't verify signature verification

I flashed the recovery, reflashed CM9 & Google Apps and it's now working! Hopefully no more hiccups after this. Many thanks, gatoraid84!
Glad you got it working keep in mind different roms heave different recovery files switching roms can switch your recovery

Out of curiosity, would you happen to know of CMW isn't compatible with either CM9 or AOKP's ICS?

Compatible...? You have to be on blue cwm to flash cm9 & aokp ....red cwm will not work...that's why you do a two flash...
My first attempt to get into CWM recovery after getting my phone back to stock and re-rooting put me into red recovery mode for reason. I ended up in blue recovery mode after trying to flash/reboot once? I completed the process in blue recovery to ensure it works, and it's been good since Monday. Only the Kernel Panic Upload Mode is giving me trouble...
I also got this problem
I also got this problem tell me please what can i do , i cant install any modes

You want the blue (ics) recovery to be able to flash an ics rom?
Look at this guide, you will find the heimdall one click linked in the OP.

I can see Blue letters while starting the phone in recovery mode. I assume that is Blue CWM. Please correct if I am wrong. If that is Blue CWM, then I need the recovery file. Please help.
Thanks

Not necesarilly. The stock 3e recovery also has blue letters, but you should be able to tell them apart. It actually says 3e at the top and only has about 3 options to select.

E:Signature Verification Failed during flashing CWM Recovery

Hi Guys,
I followed each and every step of how to root P3100 but I am not able to flash CWM Recovery. Shows me E:Signature Verification failed. Tried to re-do everything but still the same. Everybody says toggle E:signature on or off but I didn't didn't find any solution to that.
I recently got Samsung update to 4.1.1 so now officially the version is 4.1.1. But I want to do some tweaks to the source. So, if you all can tell me how to solve this issue ???
Thanks
You are probably in stock recovery. You cannot boot the tab after flashing a custom recovery using ODIN. You must get it right the first time.

[Q] E:signature verification failed -- in System Recovery

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
Carl
