Failed to verify whole-file signature - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on ICS 4.0.4
I received the OTA update for Jelly Bean but I got an "failed to verify whole-file signature" error. This is the second time this has happened :crying:
Baseband Version:
I9020XXKl1
Kernel Version:
3.0.8-g6656123
[email protected]#1
I'm only rooted. What can I do?

From reading around it seems I have to flash a kernel, but would anyone know which?

To update straight from OTA you need to be totally stock. Having custom recovery, custom kernel, etc, won't work. That said do you have CWM installed? If so just flash the OTA from this topic:

You will be able to download it but you won't be able to flash it. For ota updates, you need to be completely stock.

[Q] 4.0.4 OTA: Failed to verify whole-file signature

Hi All,
Ive got a non-branded Nexus S, running on Official Stock 4.0.3.
I just got the OTA for 4.0.4 a few days ago but so far i have not been able to install it. My phone downloaded the OTA then I tried flashing the OTA update with stock recovery, but it says "failed to verify whole-file signature".
Tried installing the OTA update with CWM, but it gives me status 7 error.
When i hit restart and let it install on its own, it gets stuck on android guy. and after pressing vol up+power, it gives me the same error: "failed to verify whole-file signature".
I have stock recovery, stock official rom, locked bootloader and rooted.
Can someone please let me know how to install this?
any ideas?....

Try deleting the update and wait for OTA again, sounds like a bad download

Nexus S - Baseband
Hi,
I am having similar problems with my Nexus S. Here is the info:
Model:Nexus S I9020A
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: NO DGSXXKI1
Kernel: 3.0.8-g6656123 [email protected] #1 Thu Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012
Build: IMM76D
Product name:HEARING
HW VERSION: REV 16
BOOTLOADER VERSION: I9020XXKL1
BASEBAND VERSION: I9020XXKI1
CARRIER INFO: ATT
SERIALNUMBER: 37335082822D00EC
LOCK STATE: UNLOCKED
Problem 1: The baseband on Settings is different from the one on the recovery menu and I think this is making me lose signal (which is my major problem), isn't the baseband supposed to be I9020AUCKJ1.
Problem 2: I tired installing the Incremental Update IMM76D from GRK39F to try to fix the baseband using the stock recovery (ie. Volume Up Power On, then Power Volume Up for blue menu and selecting recovery, then selecting the file named update.zip which I downloaded, renamed and placed in the root folder) I got the file from "randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/i9020a/" and I get the e: signature verification failed error
Please help me, I'm new at this but I cant figure this out!
Thanks

You most likely modified the stock rom in some way. Like removing amazon mp3 store apk etc.
Since you're rooted you can download and flash a rooted stock rom. You could download the official factory images and manually flash them with fastboot. That would require you to unlock the bootloader though.

incremental updates only work when you have the right update for the right ROM. Since you are already on 4.0.4 you can't really the patch to"fix" things. I've not recently checked the status of the ota's but check to see if there is a full ROM version, you should be able to apply that. alternatively, you can apply a zip with the correct modern either through adb out cwn.

Do you have the stock recovery installed? It will only flash the official OTA update with the stock recovery. You can not use a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod Recovery or 4EXT Recovery.
firstly can you get a a signal with your phone since i do believe you got the 4g model?? also have you done a system factory restore before you try to update, you might need to backup either first, maybe it got to do with version or CID on your phone, not to sure never dealt with an international phone before... give more details, like software version and kernel version,

I just got the phone yesterday, so I don't know if it has stock recovery. Can you tell me how i can check this please?
If I don't have it, i could use some instructions on what i need to install.
Thanks.

[Q] Installed ATT MB865 Fmz in a China ME865

Hi,
I've installed an ATT 4.0.4 firmware from sbf.android.org in a China Cellphone. It's work, but I'm not able to install any other ROM as CyanogenMod, 4.1.2 official leak, etc...
I've tried flash some custom roms and sbf rom in RSD Lite, but for both return the message: "Failed flashing process 6/21 flash "cdt.bin" phone returned fail ...".
I looked for for CDT.BIN and I don't conclude WTF that file is , or how to fix that.
Someone knows somethings about it?

You did a mistake flashing AT&T FXZ to non-AT&T phone. It has increased your cdt number, which can't be lowered now. Hence, you are stuck with AT&T ICS ROM. Though, you can root your phone, install BootMenu Manager from Play Store and then install CyanogenMod or any KEXEC based ROMs.
I flashed ATT firmware to my ME865, it worked fine for me. The official ROM for my ME kept failing with RSDlite.
