[Q] E:signature verification failed ClockWorkMod

simmps · Nov 27, 2010

Hi Guys

been searching for hours for a solution but can't find anything.

Installed Lambros Rom - all fine. I've booted into recovery to put my old rom on and I get the following error:

E: Can't Open/cache/recovery/command

--Install from sdcard--
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

So i've reformatted the card, wiped the phone cache and tried several different rom and I get the same error. Using ClockWorkMod recovery and rom manager.

Can anyone help? Is this a common error?

Bootloader 0.80
Baseband 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.20

I dont know very well but it can be about S-on-off issue

Try disabling verification in clockwork. From memory I think its under the advanced option. It says toggle verification. Hope this helps

It is the signature verification but to toggle it you need to (in recovery) go to 'install update from zip' and there should be the option to toggle it.

I have the same problem. My question is whether there is anything I can do to avoid this problem the next time I upgrade to a newer version of leedroid?

BTW my HTC Desire was unrooted using the unrevoked method and I'm currently running leedroid 2.2f.

Thanks in anticipation.

I still have bootloader 0.80 - this sort of indicates I didn't upgrade to the OTA 2.2 can someone back me up on this?

If I unroot my phone to 2.1 using a gold card and then re-root do you think this will work?

^ This.

All you have to do is go into recovery, install zip file from sd, and toggle the signature verification. This has happened to me a few times; I just simply toggled it, and the ROM flashed perfectly.

sorry for ressurecting, but i have a similar problem.
wanted to install a custom rom and for some reason it failed und bricked my phone.

i boot into fastboot, but every time i want to flash a new rom, it says "signatur verfication failed" and i do not have the option to toggle it off.

You need to be in recovery, not in fastboot.
Are you even rooted and have a custom recovery image?

You need a fake flash recovery image.

AmonRa version can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=689778

download it, place it on SD card. Boot into fast boot, chose run update.zip and it will boot in to the fake flash this is where you get all the option you need.

Get back to me if you have an trouble.

I have exalty the same problem as you. I have been looking all over the place for a tutorial I could follow. I even downloaded a zip signer and tried to sign the update.zip file I downloaded from the leedroid thread on xda. It did not work.

From what I understand from the above:
You have the exact problem as you

techbx · Dec 23, 2010

I think if you're on the leaked 2.2 rom you won't be able to use clockwork recovery successfully. You'll have to downgrade to 2.1, root, install clockwork recovery and then install the rom.

That's what worked for me.

Blue1k · Dec 26, 2010

Install Clockwork recovery.

Then boot into recovery (after a nandroid backup) and toggle off verification.
Then you won't get the error when you apply the update.zip. You must do this in recovery.

Toggle off verification in Clockwork recovery:

I've read all these posts, but my phone refuses to show me the clockwork recovery menu.. no matter what I do, I always get the android system recovery menu..

Please help..

Also, I cant get my phone into recovery/download mode using the 3 button combo. I've tried every possible combination, but the only way I can get to the default 'android' recovery menu is by using the ROM Manager app.

Hey guys, if you're still having this 'Signature Verification Failed" nonsense and Clockwork Mod is not letting you flash anything, check this thread (on the third page, my post tells you the fix), I just solved my own issue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944426&page=3

Good luck, post back if you have questions/comments, I'll check back and hopefully find you solved your problems as I have

Cheers

just try flashing clockwork mod

siroj · Feb 9, 2011

I am having the same exact issues. But i have found a workaround that is working for me.
When presented with the error, i go to the "Advanced" menu and select "Reboot recovery". After rebooting, on my phone, the process will start as desired

Sandzak385 · Nov 29, 2011

by me the same problem, it always comes E: signatur verification failed

MatDrOiD · Nov 29, 2011

So turn off signature verification in recovery. Should be in "Advanced".
