Yes I super one clicked, and odin to intall an unrooted version via the facebook Mesmerize fan page so im rooted.
Phone is now running firmware 2.3.4 Kernel 2.6.35.7, and eho9
All I want to do is change my Sounds and animations at start up and shut down and Every program I get does not allow me to edit the rootfiles. I have all the files I need just cant get them in the right place.
Maybe on a related note, the CWM update.zip gets the signature failure as i have seen soo soo much on here. none of the so called fixes work. manually through oden or through cwm direstly.
Any input or am I going to have to dump this turd and get another carrier?

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,

This is my first android device (samsung galaxy s 4g sgh-t959v). I am already rooted thanks to superoneclick and confirmation via rootchecker great apps by the way great for noobs like me. My question is can I get the low down on th deodexed kc1 custom kernel and flashing to my phone also doing a nand backup on the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also have rom manager and busybox installed, however I have not flashed clockworkmod recovery as read not to do so on another post, says it wasnt suported yet. Again thanks in advance.
The kc1 is actually an update that is available through kies mini now. They are trying to get a deodexed version of the "official" update.
It fixes some bugs you may have noticed. - message failed to send, lock ups, reboots, etc...
As far as flashing goes I would start here.

KC1 isn't on the update on Kies Mini. The update is KD1 which is newer and fixes the MMS and other small bugs that KC1 still had.
Checked out the link and wanted say thanks. it will be very usefull to get up to speed with this device for when the good stuff rolls out. Also one more thing reading the other post I dont think it mentioned doing nand backup. Other than that im good just wanna know ill be able fix it in case I really screw up messing around. Also awsome response time on the post and thanks again.

My bad, got'em mixed up.
You should go and read the CWM beta thread on the Development section. There is a CWM beta version out that lets you do a backup of the phone. However, I don't think the full restore option is working quite yet. I think the best you can do is to restore your data and cache, even though you can do a full backup. You will have to wait for the final version of CWM to come out to do the full restore from any full backups that you created.
Thanks for the heads up on that. I will be patient and wait cause im new to android and want to do it all right the first time. Hacked a couple psp's but this seems to be more risky cause for psp you just needed the right memory card and modified battery. Thanks again and I will keep my eyes open in the forums for a way to fully backup and restore.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO USE THE 3ERECOERY installer so i can backup restor flash zip i go aqnd it prompts me when open i down graded my root to shell root and it said could not find directed path i dont know what im doing wrong does it have to be done through odin i use winrar to extract can some ;one please give me a heads up

STUCK AT WAITING FIR DEVICE????
I was trying to flash a kernel that i found in a forum, i tried with Voodoo, my phone was already rooted. Then i heard a female robot voice saying something about "partition" and a process that was gonna take like ten min. From then, the google logo pops up and nothing will happen. i cant put it in download or recovery mode. now the robot voice isnt even saying anything basically just stuck on a google logo screen. I have no idea what to do. can someone please help me.
What kind of phone do you have? (Assuming Mesmerize or Showcase?) What version of Android are you on? If you come to (http://webchat.freenode.net/)(#samsung-mesmerize), it be easier to help you out. You'll need to Odin back to Stock before going forward to Voodoo lagfix.
I once biffed my phone up flashing an incapatible kernel and took it back to the store. They were happy to re-flash it for me. I also was not able.to get in recovery.
I simply told them I was trying to perform the 2.3.5 update which was listed on the site and something went wrong.
Just FYI, The voice was the kerenl enabling voodoo lag fix (a very good thing)!

Im having a problem with my Mesmerize, and I think this could help me out, but the link wont send me anywhere, can you help me out?
I think i can help u out.
K so if ur having any problems wit ur mesmerize, i'd recommend flashing back to stock rom.
Now to do this, your going to have to go to rootwiki and find the mesmerize forum.
Go to the first thread on the page, and there you can find a link to download Odin 3.1, Eh09 and Eh20 radios, and CWM 4.
To find the stock roms, theres another thread on rootzwiki that has the official USCC stock froyo and gingerbread roms.
With those downloaded, ur just gonna want to flash them on ur phone through odin. Plug phone into computer while holding the down volume the get the phone into downloading mode. Import the two files and there you have it.
Hope this solves ur problem
Blah
This phone is annoying me. Lol.
Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

This section is not for the Vibrant.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck
Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.
Guys I see there are TONS of threads here for this device (infuse 4g) all of them have dead links from the dev-host site. My problem is this. I had the device on stock froyo 2.2.1 I believe. I have no simcard in it so it wouldn't let me take OTA updates which I thought u could even without a card or service. I'm trying to get a phone for my son to play with and watch his song videos and This is the only device I have and or can afford for the time being. it will be a WiFi only device so i don't care about radios and APN stuff as long as wifi works. It wouldn't let me install any apps from the market because the android version too old so I decided I would manually flash an update to it.. I got clockwork mod on it but 99 percent of the links for roms are dead but I found one eventually. I think it was 4.4.2. it wouldn't hoot and it just hung indefinitely 9n the Samsung logo.. so i found and flashed a 2.3.6 I then realized I had the rainbow distortion in clockwork and before it boots. I read into it and learned that it's from having froyo bootloader's. My problem now is
1. I can't find working links to the gingerbread or whatever other bootloader's I need and I can't even Google it because the link I found says "click here" instead of a file name.
2. I can't flashbany other rims because I can't see in clockwork mod to be able to flash anything.
I realize I can use idin to flash a firmware andnif I flash froyo then go to gingerbread then to icecream it supposedly will work but I can't find any Odin flashable froyo ROMs and I can't find any gingerbread or other bootloader's... Are all the files for this device just gone forever because the device is old and links are broken?
I'm sorry this post is so long I would really appreciate any response at all I realize I probably am screwed but I'm just trying to set this device up for my son. Thank you in advance if anyone answers I really really appreciate it
Go to androidfilehost.com and search for "infuse4g"
You can still download a few ROMs.
