Root Need help with rom manager!!! Please

[mario8267]

So I rooted my phone and then downloaded the paid version of rom manager...... the problem Im having is when I attempt to download any of the dj05 roms. After the rom downloads and goes into system recovery it gives me a warning in red:

E: failed to verify whole-life signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted

this happens with any rom I try to download. I do have the current clockware manager flashed and downloaded as well. Can someone please help? I have searched high and low on the internet for hours.......

thanks

Did you push clockwork via Odin and then flas twice from within rom manager?

Great question the error in the OP, occurs when clockwork is not truly installed correctly

I downloaded the files straight from rom manager. I was under the impression I didnt need to do any of that??? Isnt that the whole point of rom mgr? And im on a mac......

Ah yeah you still need to get clockwork on there manually. For Mac try this: [GUIDE] CWRecovery for MAC Users - xda-developers

Not sure if you are familiar with VMware but you can run VMware fusion on a Mac and then fire up a windows vm for the wintel based software a well.

Fusion doesn't work well with the Samsung drivers, at least it didn't a month or so ago

....... But doesn't rom manager install cwm for you ??

 

[NOsquid]

No.

Ok, thanks for the help....... I will definitely try to get it done.

many phones can install cwr directly from rom manager...because of the nature of our semi-locked bootloader when koush built recovery (and then ditched us) he used the update.zip method to bypass it (voodoo recovery now eliminates this, but thats a whole nother issue)

initial cwr on our phones has to be computer installed...theres no way around this
