Booted into recovery and then clicked on reinstall package then it said E:Verification failed. Aborted.

Should I delete the CWM files or something from the Rom Manager flash I did before?

Thanks for the help =)

Did you extract the recovery.zip before you put it in /system/bin? You want to put the file that's inside the zip in there... if you put the zip file in there it won't work.

You shouldn't need to delete what you installed with ROM Manager... if you flash a custom ROM, it should permanently install the proper recovery, if i remember correctly.

Ok so should I delete the zip file I pasted in the bin? I guess I didn't read properly about the extraction.

Yeah, delete the zip and paste just the recovery.bin in /system/bin. Then when you go to reinstall packages, you should have the red voodoo cwm recovery.

P.S. don't extract the update.zip tho, just keep that on the root of your sdcard
