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,
EssyG
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:

Thank you, up and running 2.2, will post screen latter! Now I need to get my old phone back to stock so I can send it back to veriazon. YOU ARE THE BEST!!
P.S. I love your idea about the 10 post allowence to post on other forums.

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 all,
Sorry if this is answered somewhere, but I have searched and I can't find a specific enough answer.
I have bought a second hand i9020 (no T or A, just i9020), I live in the UK, and assume this is a bogo GSM phone. I bought it on the assumption that by now, ICS would be available, and looking around the forum it would seem to be everywhere. I do not want to root, or modify it in any way. When i check for an update using *#*#checkin#*#* method, i get no update notification, it is on 2.3.3 which is really old now.
So, I have read that there is a manual way of upgrading, and there is a thread on here which details all the OTA's for 9020T, 9020A, and 9023, but not 9020. Which one do I go for?, or could it be that there is actually no update for the i9020?? I doubt it.
Please can someone help me with this, as I have also read of people bricking their phones due to flashing the incorrect one. To be clear, I do not want to root, or unlock bootloader, just use official updates from google, but just need to be clear which one to use before i proceed.
Thanks in advance...
You have a i9020T as that's what's sold in the UK

Yes it is thanks, have just downloaded 2.3.4 to test update, but when I select recovery from bootloader, I just get the android and Yellow triangle, pushing vol up does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

when you see the triangle you hold vol up and press power
or vol down + power
Cheers for all your help guys, updated 4.0.3, then a system update pops up for 4.0.4, great stuff.
Thanks Again.
Hi everyone!
Terribly sorry this is my first post here and im looking for something, been reading through the site for the past few months but never registered.
I recently bought a HTC One M7, updated to 4.4.2 but rooted so i cannot get OEM updates.
It has ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8 istalled, busybox and SuperSu.
Im trying to unroot it and get it back to factory standard, its not for the warranty that really doesnt matter to me.
I just need some expert guidance if possible and just to be pointed in the right direction would be more then enough as there is so much information to try and retain lol.
I have been browsing through threads but im terrified i end up doing something wrong and bricking my phone.
Im living in Ireland and my phone was supplied by an operator called 'Meteor' so im a bit confused as to what method to take and where to get the exact oem stock software that will enable me to get back and let me update past 4.4.2
If anyone could link me a few threads or help in any way that would point me in the guaranteed right direction would be great, and also any information where i could get the exact file file i need to flash to get it back to stock, i understand the radio etc needs to correspond with my network operator.
Many thanks in advance for this one
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I'd suggest you take a look at this thread:
[GUIDE] How to Return to 100% Stock
No response in two days, thread closed.
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to rooting so tell me if i need to give more info etc cause I know i can be a bit vague.
So I rooted my phone no problem via the all in one kit thing and installed cyanogen, but this was right before the big android update so I wanted to switch back and update to that, but somewhere along the line i got rid of all the Roms (I think)
The stage it's at now: I can boot normally but the startup wizard fails, I assume this is because the stock operating system isnt hooked up to run, regardless I can't find a copy or figure out how to run it. (before my TWRP seemed to stop running on startup)
Bootloader: I don't know how it ended up relocked after I'd unlocked it but am guessing that is why i cant access the custom recovery at the moment (twrp)
If anyone is able could you walk me through, or point me to a guide to show:
How to unlock a relocked phone,
How to get a Stock version of Android (anything after 4.0 I guess because it will auto update?) running on there
Tell me if I'm being dumb in any part of this (apart from pissing about with things I don't understand, haha)
OK, So i'm unlocked and back onto TWRP, that was easy though, What I do need help with is working out how to install the factory Operating system again, last time I tried that is what caused the relocking etc so any help would be amazing.
Thanks, Simon

Sorry yes, meant to close this post now that this particular problem was kinda sorted but didnt get round to it last night. Unless you know a way to get the correct firmware for the wifi? Just seems strange it'd update wrong.

Hi, I just started using my friend's LG Aristo on MetroPCS. I just got an Android System Update pop up tonight that shows a 450.1 MB update available, but doesn't show the name of the update. The only thing it says about the update is, " This release includes updates that make your phone more secure and improves messaging.". Does anyone know what kind of update this is and if it will restrict any features? I'm using PDANet app for tethering. My friend had this phone for about two months, I don't know if he got this notification before to update it and he just didn't update it or if it's a brand new update. I got the Factory Reset Protection(FRP) lock sent to my old phone after I used PDANet to open the hotspot, that I thought was included in my plan, but I found out that it is not. So, I am very cautious about updates and anything else that Metro wants to send my way.

Nobody I know of has accepted the update. I was gonna do a clean start so I could try the update out, but free time has been hella scarce. Since it's a LG update for metro, we can automatically surmise it won't interfere with unlocking the bootloader or enabling root access. (They wouldn't pull something like that after the LG motion)
Tether is included in every plan that involves more than 2 gigs of high speed data. You get a hard limit for how much high speed data is used for tether though.

Do you have a computer at home?
i did the useual for me ..the "throw my brains in a blender and go for what i read was ultimately stupid"
and tried the update...and ended up in a TWRP bootloop....
went back n forth flashing Lineage TWRP and my stock bla TWRP somthing like 4 times...
finally when things decided to boot
after the last time flash i tried the lineage TWRP....i marveled at how fast it booted....
then booted TWRP to flash my huge boring stock backup...
and junks back to the old funk...just from 9/28 when i first was going to try Lineage...
should've used it as an excuse to try out the debloated rom....
can anyone tell me how to turn off Updater in terminal ....
moving files and renaming things always gets me running in these same exact circles..
is it safe to remove Updater???
sorry if i type like i think..i'm trying to be unique ...my logic is just really fuzzy
i only apologize because someone that was have a bad day decided it was the best thing to zero in on in an android forum and get bossy about it...sorry..i think too much ..most of it's useless...OK..i post this now
Yep i have a computer. Read about two different applications to flash the stock kdz. One called lg up an the other lg flash tool. The only thing is im not sure about is which app is best to use or does it matter?
Edit:
i did a search for "flash stock rom lg aristo" the top two guides lead me to the applications. Just saying where i found it in case anyone was wondering. *haven't tried yet

Either one does the job really. LG up is built for newer devices, so you'd be better off
Did anyone download the 450.1 MB update yet?

It's a security update and the kernel was clock locked to 1248mhz and lower. It shouldn't clock any higher than 1248.
