Hi, I am new to all of this, but Im a quick learner. I rooted my phone and have superuser permission. I have installed multiple applications that will help me to perform ROM installs all of which still do not help. I even tried the three button solution, however I am still getting the same message when I go into recovery mode. It is as follows: E: failed to varify whole-file signature then under that I get: E: signature verification failed, instalation aborted.
I tried applying sdcard update. zip, wiped out cache partition, factory reset, etc...
I have tried everything. I tried using Mod Manager, I get the downloads but then when i try to install after I make sure to click backup rom and clear cache, it boots to the rom screen, (not really sure what you guys call it, sorry) and I get that same message, the signature failed, et...
my phone info is as follows: SCH-I500, I500 Commercial Package_DL9 To EA28 (I think verizon automaticly updated for the emergency dial) code 200
hardware version i500.04 firmware version 2.1update.1, baseband version S:i500.04 V.EA28, kernel version 2.6.29 and last but not least build number SCH-I500.EA28
Now saying all of that, I tried all of the above steps prior to this automatic update and it still did not work. I still received the signature message.
I even tried Voodoo, as well as DL30, Superclean, none of which will pass the signature autentacation. I want to try to get past this as I am having my phone replaced due to burn in and want to get the steps right so I do not BRICK my phone after it has been replaced. If this one bricks, it wont matter to much because I will have the new one on Monday.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this tecky stuff and want to be knowagable on how to get past this message so I can go full force on Monday.
Thanks,

Also I checked the site and tried everything but still won't work.

You will need to flash a new Recovery via ODIN which you can find below for your Samsung Fascinate:

If o.k. I will post what I did and that way new users will be able to follow directions. I am a newbe but have become addicted to this stuff. THANKS!!
now I bricked my phone... lol
Now let me start by saying I loved 2.2, no problems with it at all. but when battery ran out I wanted to clean stats in cwm green and the screen would not come up, sd would not mount any how I tried to start over, flashing oden, all the steps, but my drivers will not stay for some reason after flashing I need to uninstall the reinstall drivers or they are not recognized, really sucks, any how I got frustrated so while in odin I pulled the plug, lol literally, and now have a pic of a "phone" then ".." then triangle with (like my icon here)"!" then ".." picture of "computer". I called verizon and there sending me yet another phone. lol my question is, will they be able to unlock it and see that I had 2.2 on it? does anyone know what they do with the phones we send back? Basicly I want to know if they can unlock that being I can't. and if so, will they see the 2.2? Any sugestions?
Anyone there?
Any one there? Also I am debating, do I wait for official release. I heard it was coming out 2/22/11. If I put dl30 on new phone again and they release the update, will I still get the automatic update via verizon? If so will I lose root? Any comments on post #5? I can't believe I had it running I totally messed it up. Thank goodness when I called verizon I got two girls at tec support, lol while I am a girl, I am a tech lover, I acted like I had no idea what happened, well they didn't either, lol So just waiting on new phone to come in, yet again so I am getting everything ready to quickly install dl30 to new phone again. Hopefully I do not lose drivers again, as it seems that once I flash in odin, the hardware icon disappers as if drivers are not installed. any how, I was just wondering if anyone had an answer to post #5 so that when I return the phone, I am not caught, lol that would really stink! Plus I am board, took off of work because my kids are sick and now I have a bad cold also, so any comments would be great!! Besides I need to be here to sign for new phone.
Thanks,

Hi guys, I need some help here. I'm not new to this at all and have rooted TONS of phones for people and myself. Something strange just happened though. I was attempting to flash a ROM (specifically Energy HD 2.0) through CWM. The flash was unsuccessful, which happens at times, so I thought "no big deal, I'll just do a quick restore and try again or try a different one". I chose the backup I wanted to restore to, it did the restore, it said it completed successfully, so I chose reboot. When I looked at it again I realized I never saw the boot animation or anything so I checked it.....dead. The phone wouldn't boot, wouldn't go into recovery, nothing. I've pulled the battery several times, tried both the stock recovery and CWM and I get nothing but a black screened brick. I don't even get the Samsung logo. I have no idea what I could have done here. I attempted the method in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030. The only problem there is that I can't even get my device to go to downloading mode. I literally does nothing at all. When I connect to the PC, I get the sound of a USB device being connected, but no access to it and as far as I can tell the PC doesn't even see it. ODIN does nothing either because the device doesn't show up (it was showing up before). I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give on this as this is a brand new phone and I'd hate to think I bricked it beyond recovery somehow. Thanks in advance!
Your bricked because you flashed a rom on your verizon S3 for an international s3 variant. It's amazing you even got far enough to attempt a restore, but the damage was already done, as your nandroid was trying to run on an already corrupted system. You're up the Creek there my friend, sorry. There are links to a company that fixes them for $60, I can't remember the name, so I can't post the link, but will if I do.

Stunned at the fact you made the mistake of flashing a rom from a different carrier that is a HUGE NO NO.

Wow. I seriously can't believe I did that. No more flashing when I'm wasted... :cyclops: Glad I'm still in the 14 days and I can swap it out as DOA. If I can't turn it on to check it, they can't either.
Wow, glad I haven't made that mistake yet. I can see how easy it would be though.
Friends don't let friends flash fried. Good lesson in there somewhere 8 guess.
Alcohol + cell phone + boredom = brick.
The only reason it happened is because instead of going straight to the XDA Android dev thread for the phone like I normally would to find a ROM, I googled "best ROM's for GS3" and the list I got apparently was written by someone overseas (I now realize looking back at the article). I just clicked a link to one of the ROMs that looked cool and the link was actually to XDA anyway so I felt fine about the whole thing. Until my phone bricked that is...

Yes, committing fraud when you made a mistake yourself it the right thing to do.
Man up and pay to get it Jtagged imo. If you can't afford to get it Jtagged, you shouldn't be flashing ROMS.
Things like this are probably the reason the bootloader was locked in the first place.
Hey all and thx for reading this ahead of time.A friend of mine flashed his infuse to jelly first and lost the imei and all that.So i went to put it back to stock with UCLB3 and sometimes it will say insert sim and sometimes it wont the imei comes and goes sometimes any way to fix this.Also if the phone gets a imei on restart it will lose it and say null/null .

I did use the search button.
Still nothing guess have used the efs files have used gtg files and otheres and it wont stay.
Sorry, just reread your first post about it showing up then not.
Sometimes there is not a straight fix. Sometimes you just have to say what the hell and try a fix that's close.
Like the one that's posted inside of a topic that's only three or four topics away from this one.
It also sounds like the internal SD card file system might be messed up.
Nothing i have bricked the phone deleted sys,data,,cache,and dalvik in cwm flashed custom roms and went back to bone stock and nothing hell it wont even get imei now.I tried the other fix of hunting down the imei nv_data and it was empty so any other help is thankful.
I rooted my Nvidia shield a day or 2 ago and everything was working fine, until i i went to the play store to look for some apps. it wouldn't connect. i tried everything anyone suggested and nothing worked. i tried completely resetting the whole thing. that didn't work. then i found a guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110225 and at the bottom he explains that if you delete Hosts file under system/etc/ and reboot and Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache. well i ended up deleting the whole system/etc/ folder. i so dumbly deleted the whole thing and now my nvidia shield will not boot. it gets stuck on a black screen during the boot process after the nvidia shield thing comes up. i tried reflashing the root_shield.img, i tried the recovery options and thats not working. please help me
Thank you.

No clue how old this is. But thank you!
ive been searching around and cant get this thing to connect to a network. i was on mm and i wanted to go back to kk so i tried just doing a full wipe and flashed the fastboot 44s rom (i had a bunch of useless crap saved on my phone and i wanted to get rid of it anyways).
the phone booted up but it says audiofx error and then just reboots. ive tried the msm coloros download tool but its not recognizing my phone in fastboot and neither is the cm11s version of it. i can flash fastboot cm11s roms but i can not get this thing to stay on for more than 3secs.
i have an efs backup from a year ago when this happened but it says the files are corrupted but they shouldnt be. they were iso and i changed their file types to bin (not sure if that makes any sense at all)
could someone please help. thanks in advance

ohhh, believe me, i searched and searched lol. i now have about 10 different programs seeing they can fix it. i just got it to turn on and stay on but i still do not have cell or wifi. the link you gave is one of many i have been trying. im giving up till the morning. wanting to watch some house of cards.
btw, the link you shared is the one that fixed the bootloops. im kinda freaking out a little because i wasnt seeing people with the same issues too often in my searches and i use my phone for work. i dont feel like buying a phone for monday
thanks for the reply though. i think im making progress.
found the problem. bluestacks was stopping some commands from working. read it in another thread (been searching a lot so i dont have a link), but i just quit bluestacks and things would work in cmd prompt. thanks for trying to help man
