thank u very much

If you would have searched for E:signature verification failed, you would have discovered that while booted in CWM recovery (provided you have, you can toggle signature verification.
Go to install zip from internal sdcard, toggle signature verification and install the zip.
Hopefully this will solve the problem!

hey my phone is not going through cwm recovery....... i used rom manager tooo...... but its just showing 4 options at boot screen instead of 7-8 options...... so plz help me find out that how to use that cwm recovery method...... thanks....

See in your app drawer whether you have a CWM app. From there you can reboot into CWM recovery.
I don´t know which button combo to use, sorry. Go for the gui.

[Q] Chinese phone Galaxy Grand

I have a Galaxy Grand but the chinese version.
The model is SCH-i879.
The problem i have is that the android in this phone does not allow me to install any of the google apps (maps, gmail, play etc).
I haven't been able to install CWM with odin. The installation seems succesfull (i'm installing the CWM for the Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-i9082). I cant boot into recovery when i flash the CWM.
I have the original Stock image that i got from Samsung Mobile.com, but other than that, i have not been able to install google apps, root the phone or install CWM to install Cyanogen or other custom rom.
Does anybody know what could i do to at least root the phone? i was able to install ROM Manager, but without any root privilages it is useless...
Help me Please!!

I want to install coustom rom on Samsung Galaxy Grand(Chineese Version)...Pless Help....
hello.
can u tell us how you managed to install gapps?
i downloaded the zip from goo.im and copied it to the root of the phone, rebooted and tried to install from recovery mode 3e but it says that it doesn't find the sdcard.
after that i thought that if i put an external sdcard maybe it will work. still nothing. the i tried with adb but i get an error about the signature of the zip.
the only way i see that i will be successful is by installing the zip from cwm.
is there something wrong with my phone that it can't see the internal sdcard or is it normal? when the phone is running i can see it without a problem. just in recovery mode i get the error

[Q] Gapps install

Good afternoon. I am new to the forum and need your help.
Install TWRP and can after trying several times install CyanogenMod 4.4.2 (version 11-20140207-unofficial-1931 +0100- wingray). Already running and it works great but I can not install add the Gapps, I get Failed.
According to the log tells me: Error flashing zip / sdcard/pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-201140207-signed.zip
What can be the problem?
I do this from the menu, I select Install zip containing the gapps, select Zip file signature verification and confirm getting the above errors.
I could lend a hand.
Thanks and congratulations for this forum which is great for those of us who like all these devices.

Try it without the verification.. or possibly re-download the file in case you got a corrupted download originally.

When you got working CWM you can easily flash GApps (google Play) -->http://d-h.st/lHg

You download it from here: http://get.cm/get/iwr
You then put it on your phone's storage.
You boot in recovery.
You create a backup from recovery.
You then simply install the zip, without wiping anything.
You reboot.

Disable signature checking from recovery. There should be an option that sounds like:

Okay then... apparently dirty flashes don't work.
Well, you either stay with M8, or backup your apps with titanium backup or such and do a factory data reset before you install.

thanks alot for taking ur time out and helping /guiding me through this problem
just 1 last question pls (3 parts )
suppose i take a nandroid backup and factory reset then when i restore will EVERYTHING (apps+data) come back as it is except that i will be on the M9 version?
i already have a titanium backup transfered on my dropbox will that do the trick? or will i need nandroid also?
if i do it through titanium and then factory reset all i will have to do then is just re-download titanium n then restore missing apps+data right? or can i just do it through dropbox?
pls ive never done done this so a link to some guide will be extremely helpfull
As long as you backup with titanium backup you will be able to restore the applications but may have to log in to a lot of them again
