Did you check the md5 of the rom you downloaded? this way you can make sure your download is not corrupt. It really sounds like it is.
Also, to install stock ROM, you should use a pc, Odin, and the latest firmware for your device from sammobile.com instead of flashing through recovery. Not that it can't be done by flashing through recovery, but through Odin everything returns to stock, including recovery.

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.

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.

---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.
PLZ Help.......

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.

does it give you an error? is your signature verification turned off in your clockwork recovery? are you flashing roms that are made for your model phone?
I tried to flash the original rom.. It gives me an error reading the sd..
I had the same problem, when I tried to flash a ROM it gave me an error. Which version of CWM you are using?
HELP!
i have the same damn problem. It says status 7 as well. I cant flash any roms, not CM7, ICS, Stock 2.3.6. All i can do is restore a nandroid backup of 2.3.1 and that is stuck in airplane mode so i cant even use my phone. Please help before i throw this in the garbage.

try flashing the Rom the way u downloaded and don't try any modification or dint unzip and rezip, flash a fresh download.
full wipe required to boot
in cwm go to mounts and storage and mount all that is unmounted.
Then flash the rom.
This is common to all 10.1 A1 and A2 roms.
Hello. Download and install again and all will be well.=))

Well i have the same problem , though how it started is weird. i got CM11 working on the same model , when i tried retsore backup via recovery mode, it suddenly froze, said no data found , and eversince i cant do anything with the phone.i can only start recovery mode, or download mode . i cant flash it because ODIN doesnt add my phone , i have reinstalled samsung drivers several times with no luck . is there any other way to fix this ? can it be fixed at all ?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Copy cm11 to ext SD card using a card reader and flash it via cwm recovery. Good luck.
