SOLVEDD!
 
Does it actually say ClockworkMod Recovery? There are several threads regarding installing clockwork. The biggest problem people have is allowing the phone to reboot before actually getting into the new recovery. The stock recovery will be reinstalled if you allow the phone to boot up. If you are getting 'signature verification failed' then I'm willing to bet this is the case with your phone.

This thread will likely help with your problem.

After the latest update of the tablet's firmware, when flash cwm and boot into recovery to install the .zip files, "E:signature verification failed" error happen.
Solution: When you flash cwm with odin, DISABLE auto-reboot. After flash is finished, do not reboot, but go into recovery mode. Now you can flash root zip with signature verification on/off.
