Ok so after million years I finally rooted my 2.2 phone,
I got the Crysis theme, renamed it to update and put it on my phone via debugging usb , now im suppose to go to recovery mode , so I did once I get there its all blue writing (in the video it was orange) and its <3e> , all the other videos were in Clockwork recovery, I have it and I "FLASHED" it but w.e I do its always in the default recovery.
I select update sdcard .zip ( or something like that) once I select it I get an error saying
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborte
I looked on the forums already for this problem , so I found it and it send me to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
where I downloaded the update and 3e recovery manager, but I have no idea what to do with it I installed it and put it on my sd card, flashed but im still in the same recovery getting the same error, help please
Im using Samsung Galaxy I9000 (obv)
Thank you
3e recovery will give you signature verification errors. You should be able to get 2e recovery following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
For the link provided did you place the files on the internal storage and not the actually internal sd card?
The post you send me its way too confusing for me :/ I dont think I'll be able to do that by my self and I put the files via the debugging system, it puts them on internal memory but when I go to "Files" folder its ther
Sorry if my post was confusing. Sounds from what you are telling me that you are actually putting those files into the internal sd card. You need an app like root explorer or something that will allow you rw to the actual internal phone storage. Once you get access to the internal storage I would strongly recommend you backup your efs folder before you do anything else.

perhaps something was corrupted in the copying process over to your new card. try putting the zip (verified not corrupt, check the md5) on again.
also verify that you are not putting on a file named something.zip.zip
if you have file extensions hidden in windows, and it still says .zip, that means you have a file with an extra .zip on the end of it.
Hi guys. I hate to open an old thread, but figured it was the lesser of 2 evils with the other option being to create a new one.
I am suffering the same problem as the OP, with the slight difference that my issue is solely related to the leedroid rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
I can safely flash all my nandroid backup roms from clockwork, I can flash the modaco r9 rom i had on there previously. I can flash all the themed zips I have downloaded in anticipation of getting leedroid up and running (they don't work make any difference to my existing rom due to not having leedroid, but they flash fine and then i nandroid after since I was just flashing them to check flashing was working).
The issue is when i try to flash leedroid it just says bad zip. I've downloaded it 4 times, both direct from dropbox and via torrents. I've checked with md5 checker and it's fine. I've unzipped it myself to verify the integrity. I've renamed it to remove the period thinking it might be an extension issue. I've toggled the check signature setting thing. I've run a full file system check on the fat32 partition of my sdcard, i've let it do a full bad sector scan. I'm literally out of ideas.
Edit: In case others stumble upon this, the solution for me was to scrap the partitions on my SD card and start over. I used the proper sdformatter from the official sdcard site to create a FAT partition using up the entire disk, then used gparted to resize that partition leaving 512mb at the end to fit my ext3 in there. The official sdcard formatter leaves 4mb of unallocated space at the start of the disk, I left this there as I didn't want to mess with it. Once my new partitions were setup, I can again flash ROMS from the sdcard. So although there was a proper FAT32 partition on there previously that seemed to be working fine, for some reason it wasn't.

SOLVED.
If you get the message: “Can’t Open /sdcard/******.zip (bad)” when installing:
-Extract the SD, format in computer(fat32)
-copy the .zip in fresh sd
-boot with xRecovery and install.
-reboot
-(may be you get a frozen boot, so do:
-reboot with xRecovery
-wipe full reboot
-Everything’s ok!!
Do extract the SD Card while the phone is still in Recovery? Are there any clearer instructions?

I just encountered this problem a couple days ago. I had to physically take the card out of the phone, put it in a card reader, and then mount the card reader in my pc. I used Windows to format the card to FAT32 (that will erase everything). Once I formatted, the phone was able to read the sd card just fine again.
HI, I have rooted my Desire running stock official Froyo 2.2 and have backed up using nandroid in recovery.
I was trying to install Wake from trackpad/menu zips but clockworkmod does not allow me to flash it. I get the following message
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/menu-to-wake.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
the sdcard is fine.. Able to create/restore nandroid backups
the files are named xyz.zip and not xyz.zip.zip
I have the signature verification and script errors turned off
The zip file themselves are fine. I can open them from windows and can also extract in windows without any errors
Still i cannot flash the zip while no one else in the thread has reproted any issue in flashing it on their desire. Can someone please help on how to make the clockwork install the zip files??

Hi vpraveenis, I am just curious if you found a resolution for this? I have the same problem, admittedly for a different .zip but the same symptoms. I can flash other zips fine, the zip itself is fine as I can unzip on windows and md5's match, i have toggled the signature verifcation off and run file system checks to make sure my sdcard is ok. Still clockwork can not flash this 1 zip (leedroid) which hundreds of others have flashed fine. I am at my wits end, so if you found a solution to yours, I would be happy to hear it
Did you try to re-download that file again, it may be corrupted.

Yes, apologies I should have mentioned that. I downloaded it 4 different times, and all times the md5 checksums were fine. I even tried different methods of getting the file onto the card, incase there was a level of corruption there. I have used adb push, standard usb mount in windows, taking the card out and using the card reader in my PC, and using andFTP to download it from my ftp server directly to the phone.
I can only think it's a problem with my sd card, so i'm trying a new one now, taking a while to make it a gold card though.

Ok, I went and bought a brand new class 6 16gb lexmark sd card (my unknown class / unknown brand 32gb off ebay was causing me too many hassles anyway). I immediately partitioned it with gparted, then went through the goldcard process. Then dumped clockwork including my nandroid backups and leedroid rom onto there. Reboot into recovery and bam, still get the exact same error, bad zip.
I've also tried full factory wipe before hand. I also get the same error on the latest radio ROM from the leedroid guy's drop box. Not having much luck.
That's weird, Can you flash other zip file? :\
Maybe change to Amora Recovery will help?
Try Amon Ra or check if the ClockWork has "File Integration Verify" option and disable it. It should help. Some custom modifications do not pass through integrity verification at recovery state.

need some help- while trying to flash new leedroid rom get this message:

I couldn't get AmonRa up and running, tried using unrevoked or whatever to flash it on there, but just wouldn't complete. Clockwork is a fair bit easier since you can just copy on a file and name it update.zip and you are done.
In regards to other zips, it seems I can flash any "theme" based zip, just not any RUU zip such as new ROMs or radios. This probably implies my card is not a gold card, but I have been through the gold card process 3 times, all without fail, so I dunno why it wouldn't be one.
I've confirmed that I can flash these files from my 2gb gold card that I originally made. So there is definitely no zip corruption.

bump
my phones still down, i have eclipse installed now and updated with the abd-plugin
but now i cant find the resource to replace the recovery from fastboot, please help i need a phone lol.
What format did you format your SD card in?
It's basically an easy fix. Just format your SD card to the proper format and load this zip on to your SD cards root. Just rename it to PC36IMG.Zip
http://db.tt/uo4mOhh
When in bootloader, it will find the zip. When it asks you, select yes (Vol up) when its done, select no. (vol down) reboot in recovery and flash your Rom.

Rename this file to PC36IMG.zip and put it in the root directory of your sd card. Boot into hboot and install this from hboot. It will install aman ra recovery. Once it is installed and you can successfully enter recovery, then reinstall the rom of your choice. Clockworkmod recovery is hit or miss these days and should be avoided. You are using the wrong version of clockwork anyway with your phone it should be the 2.6.0.1 version of clockwork.
Still stuck
sorry guys but im still stuck what i did was hboot/recovery.
once in recovery i put the pc36IMG.zip file into the root folder (using USB STORAGE in storage and mounts) of the freshly formatted (MS-DOS FAT32) 32gb SD
reboot, weird horizontal lines back to hboot, when it initially loads i get:
SD checking....
loading PC36DIAG.zip
No image!
loading PC36DAIG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
loading PC36IMG.zip
No image!
loading PC36IMG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
same with hboot usb when i select at bottom.
grr i need a phone what do i do to flash the new recovery?
i should say i believe this crash happend after running the formatAll.zip
bump to the top
because my phone is important to me and its still broke. im not seeing any viable solutions
Looks like either you put the file in the wrong place or you didn't rename it right.
Make sure you put it directly on the root of your SD card. This means it should NOT be in any file folder.
Also make sure the name is correct. It should read PC36IMG.zip
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
hmmm im pretty sure its screwed because
A) Under mount USB storage, my Evo shows up on the desktop. to make sure its cleaned and there isn't anything hidden in there I simply open Disk Utility, click on the partition "EVO" go to erase and format to ms DOS fat (formats to fat32)
B)tried both files which where both RA 2.2.1 and renamed the files "PC36IMG.zip" (just as shown). Once renamed i draged the file into the now freshly formatted SD Card, no folders just the "/" (root) like i always do, then rebooted.
got the same error.
Do you have a memory card reader? I had a problem when trying to format while in the phone.

yes my hackintosh netbook has one, and ill do that right now just to make sure, i never had any of these issues until i updated to clockwork from RA 2.2.2, WHY??????

Your on a mac... do not rename the file 36IMG.zip it's already a zip file.... sometimes you can name it XXX.zip.zip and it will not work

You r Right. I think he named it PC36IMG.zip.zip. Just rename the file PC36IMG & boot into bootloader. If the file is named right hboot will see it.
Swyped from CM7 from XDA app.
Actually...
I renamed the ra.zip to pc36IMG.zip, give me a little credit I know about renaming file extensions, btw I fix it by
Formating it through the sd slot, then repartitioned the format as a master boot record becuase by default it was formatting in GUID. I believe this is why a android couldn't read it.
PLEASE HELP...I am new to this so I hope it is simple. I recieved instruction on how to flash the SNS v1.3 From this Thread on this site.
Sinister Rom [RLV3]-5/12/11|[! Post what you want to see in version 4 !]
Prior to this I performed a Nandroid Backup after flashing Amon RA from ROM Manager. I wiped everything except for the SD Card and attempted to flash the ROM. After an unsuccessful try I tried to reboot phone and it just keeps going to the Bootloader Screen. I also noticed that the PC36IMG.zip file is not being loaded now. It says that image is not found. I have tried several new PC36IMG.zip files from the site and put them on the root of my SD Card using the USB-MB toggle option and it still says wrong or no image found. WHAT do I do? Don't want my phone to die and be bricked...

Maybe bad download. But, yeah, sounds like you don't have an OS. YOu need to find a good one to flash which should contain everything. Good place to start for noobs would be the new GB leak. It's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038701
Sounds like you have SD card problem though. Pull the recovery.log using adb:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log <path on your comp where you want it to go>.txt and post it.
what is adb

You should really know what adb is before you rooted your phone..
Here is Android Debug bridge(ADB)
Now onto your problem. If you have the option try to use a different micro SD or a different way of transferring a rom to your card.
When I transfer a rom to my micro sd via a cheap ebay adapter I receive that same error. But when I transfer right to my phone or through the adapter that came with my phone it works fine.(I have a SD slot on my computer most newer ones do)
THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! Needed to Wipe SD Card, Partition SD CARD, and reflash ROM...WORKING GREAT NOW!!!
Just curious, but why did you feel the need to double post this... .in the same forum, no less?
And good deal getting it fixed....
Hi all
Got an issue that I just cant solve.
I have a desire, rooted, s-on. Was running leedroid 3.3.3, all was working well until couple of days ago when after a reboot all the content on the SD card seemed to disappear. Strange thing was, it could still be read when mounted.
So, after trying a few things I decided to reflash, so wiped cache, data and anything else I could do via recovery.
Copied the leedroid.zip file to my card, renamed update.zip but now when I try to apply it from recovery I get the below error:
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) E: signature verification failed. Installation aborted.
Cant work this out.. people have suggested that I disable verification checking in recovery.. but I dont see that option in the recovery menu I can access?
I wonder if anyone could help me as I am phone-less
many thanks
Assuming you are using clockworkmod recovery, this option should be in "Advanced".
Sent from dGB with Transparent XDA App
Hey!
When you're flashing a .zip rom use the "install zip from SD card" option, not "apply update .zip". The signature is different, so it wont work.
So just try and wipe cache, data, ext, system, dalvik and battery stats, and then install the zip from the sd without renaming it.
What recovery are you using? I suggest CWM for a clean experience.
Also i suggest to put your sd card in a computer and back-up the contents, than format it again in CWM. At lease fix the permissions.
Check the advanced menu for dalvik wipe, battery stats and fixing permissions.
I hope that helps. If not, write here and we will help you.
Cheers!
thanks for the replies.. i got it working late last night
the problem was that I didn't have the CWM recovery file update.zip on my card.. i had cleared everything and re partitioned the card, so the phone was blank and i only had the rom .zip file
so without the proper update.zip i was unable to get into recovery.
i could not find update.zip anywhere at all for download, but luckily i had an old copy in my dropbox from months ago that i was able to get on my card
then i was able to flash
so.. the lesson i learnt from this issue is always a keep a copy of update.zip
