Hi there,
I own a Rogers Samsung Infuse. I rooted and flashed CM9 onto my phone yesterday. Long story short, had an issue with Google Apps, and ended up with a phone that would constantly boot to the CWM Recovery screen.
I was able to use ODIN3 to get my phone back to stock, but could not flash CM9 (or anything) with CWM as I was (and still am) getting the:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I tried using this: Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e), but the phone kept getting stuck at the Samsung screen.
I tried watching the modified e3 recovery video on youtube, but my recovery file is sitting in the root folder, and not in system/bin where it should be. I ignored the location of the file, replaced it with the modified e3 recovery file, but when I rebooted my phone, it's as if the changes didn't take place.
I've been digging (maybe not hard enough) for a solution to this problem. CM9 looked fantastic for the 5 minutes I had it on my phone.
What can I do now?
It sounds to me like you lost cwm recovery if you want to flash cm9 you need to flash the ics recovery file. Doesn't verify signature verification

I flashed the recovery, reflashed CM9 & Google Apps and it's now working! Hopefully no more hiccups after this. Many thanks, gatoraid84!
Glad you got it working keep in mind different roms heave different recovery files switching roms can switch your recovery

Out of curiosity, would you happen to know of CMW isn't compatible with either CM9 or AOKP's ICS?

Compatible...? You have to be on blue cwm to flash cm9 & aokp ....red cwm will not work...that's why you do a two flash...
My first attempt to get into CWM recovery after getting my phone back to stock and re-rooting put me into red recovery mode for reason. I ended up in blue recovery mode after trying to flash/reboot once? I completed the process in blue recovery to ensure it works, and it's been good since Monday. Only the Kernel Panic Upload Mode is giving me trouble...
I also got this problem
I also got this problem tell me please what can i do , i cant install any modes

Can you please let me know the link for the recovery file ? I could not find the link in the thread. I am also getting the same error blow.

Thanks for your help.
You want the blue (ics) recovery to be able to flash an ics rom?
Look at this guide, you will find the heimdall one click linked in the OP.

I can see Blue letters while starting the phone in recovery mode. I assume that is Blue CWM. Please correct if I am wrong. If that is Blue CWM, then I need the recovery file. Please help.
Thanks
Bidhu
Not necesarilly. The stock 3e recovery also has blue letters, but you should be able to tell them apart. It actually says 3e at the top and only has about 3 options to select.

You must install the custom Recovery. Follow steps below.
When you reach to the 'replacing' recovery file, make sure you delete the old one. When your in recovery mode, make sure you install packages twice before you see CWM recovery.

You need to pay for the updated root explore. I had that same issue where changes did not take affect. I was going out of my mind.
Once I paid for it, I was relieved that it took the changes and was able to put custom clockwork mod recovery.

FRUSTRATION is a *****
My phone Infuse I997R base GB 2.3 method :
Install sgs kernel flasher from market or apk file, download Kernel (Infusion-GB.1.0.zip) place on sdcard,
open kernel flasher > choose (Kernel).zip > flash kernel > waiting for restart.
Recovery test :
power off > remove battery > insert battery > hold vol up + vol down and power.
waiting boot to ClockWork mod (CWM)
Your phone same base (GB 2.3), follow my method.

1) Good
2) You need to be unlocked to run custom kernels and/or roms my friend. Here's EZ Unlock thread in case you misplaced the apk:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29698-728-vzw-gs3-ez-recovery-22-a-multi-recovery-flashing-app-ya-dingus/
3) You need a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) to flash kernels/roms/anything from XDA.
Edit: Also backup your IMEI prior to flashing anything in recovery. Here's how to do this, you must be rooted to backup appropriately:

Download EZ Recovery and tap on CWM then flash CWM 6, this version supports our unlocked bootloader.
If you have a bad download, try re-downloading the AOKP rom again.

the only thing he didnt mentionw as that you might have a bad download. but that would be hte last thing i try.
got it!!!! i transfered the files to the internal sd and bam!!! i guess external is ni good for ROM flashing
Glad we could get you all fixed up!

I must be making a big mistake along the process, because I am fairly new to this. I flashed a couple ROMs on my Droid X in the past, but my S3 is just not working for me...
I have followed the stickied guide to flash the stock ROM, install TWRP, then root and unlock bootloader. When I attempt to follow the instructions to install the ROM I have chosen, it fails every time. It fails just after attempting to open the .zip, so it is very quickly. I have Odin flashed back to stock 3 times and tried 2 different ROMs, both fail the same way.
Is there any more information I should provide?
What error message you get? Whether you are seeing TWRP recovery or Stock recovery?

"Unable to open .zip," or something similar.
So have you tried just rooting the phone first with bootloader unlocked. Once you make sure you have the phone rooted then go back into recovery to flash.
Also there are so many steps you could have messed up on a little bit more detail on what it does when you go into recovery to flash or if you can't even get there.

Good point. Be sure your bootloader is unlocked - most roms now will not flash with a locked bootloader. Also did you verify the md5 matches? You flashed on the dx so I'm sure you did - just trying to cover all the bases.

Getting the same error in both. Tried CWM first, because that is what I was familiar with from the past, but I reflashed and tried TWRP. They are not both installed at the same time, if that would be an issue.
I have only verified that my bootloader is unlocked by the split second flash of SAMSUNG during boot. I also do not have a "custom" message at the bottom. I'm not familiar with any other way to verify.
After trying a few different things with no success, I have looked into the error a little further.

Try using a custom recovery like clockwork or twrp. may have better luck my friend. I have never flashed anything with a stock recovery. I didn't know it was possible though I may be wrong.

You flash recovery in download mode. Another boot mode. Just search how to boot into download mode for your device it will be another button combo after your phone is off. After you get that figured out search a custom revovery for your device. Then you should be able to flash a revovery from your pc. Ill see what I can find for you.
