Hello,
I'm new to the forums and have been trying to root my galaxy tab 2 10.1 4.0.4.... I have been through all the other posts and downloaded all the programs that were needed for rooting but when I try to install the rooting file from the recovery screen I get signature verification fail every time I've 're downloaded and everything many times from many different forums and still getting the same problems, can any one help me out with this please and if so step by step very new and still learning.
Thanks
What recovery program did you install?
Usually when you get that error is because you are trying to install the rom from the stock recovery.
I know when I first tried installing CWM recovery onto my Tab2 it didn't take at first and found that not checking "Auto-reboot" in Odin and manually rebooting the device when done worked.
Disable signature verification. if that doesn't work then download zipsigner from play and sign the zip file
Sounds like you're trying to flash from stock recovery, which isn't going to work. You need to be sure you are using a custom recovery, otherwise, you'll keep getting the error.
May be try reflashing cwm version 6.0.1.0 from odin pc for your tab model number then put rooting file in internal and external sd and try flashing from both ,may be one will work

Put this on your internal SD card along with your ROM of choice. Reboot in to recovery and install packages 2 times. The second time it will be in clockwork recovery and you can flash your ROM.
I just had the same problem after doing countless ROM flashes in the past. Perhaps its something in their server preventing the download of CWM? Anyways, thanks for the .zip. Worked like a charm!
yes thank you very much for that zip u saved my life well appreciated
Keep that .zip on your HDD and you can bypass Rom Manager (and all the associated problems) altogether.
I have my phone rooted and unlocked. It's the AT&T Captivate but I'm using it on T-Mobile. I've had no problems so far with it.
I downloaded Clockwork's Rom Manager (v3.0.0.7) and tried to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to begin experimenting with ROMs.
When I click on that it tells me "An error occurred while downloading your recovery."
I have over 4 gigs of memory left and I have 3 bars on 3g and WiFi going. No internet connection problems (i checked the net using market and using the browser, it works fine.)
What else could be causing the problems.
I'm just wanting to get a good stable rom going which ditches all the junk AT&T put on the phone.

I Can't get the update.zip file to work. After I reinstall packages is says E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or derectory) Installation aborted. I've tried it probably 20 times today with no luck.
Thank You
Nothing like flashing to find out it wasn't working. Thanks for making my day go better.

Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

if the update.zip is already on your /sdcard/ then there is no reason to try and download/flash clockwork recovery.....thats what the update.zip IS
thats what i thuoght but not true. even goin in normal recovery and selecting to install packages gets a error some about no such directory or something even though updat.zip is there even fix permissions gives a error
I'm having the exact same problem. After reading the development section I have decided to flash a custom rom from my stock rom. Installed "Rom manger" from market, then tried to run the "recovery" got the same error msg. Also uploaded the update.zip to my /sdcard the I got the below errors:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Did you flash back to stock JF6 first not JI6?
try this cuz this is what i did and the update.zip worked just fine for me
1. one click back to stock jf6
2. master clear
3. root with galaxy s one click root
(after the root there should be an update.zip in your sdcard)
4. replace the update.zip in the root of your sd card with the one here posted which is the clockwork recovery one and if you want while u do that you can throw in the rom that you want to flash in there as well to kill 2 birds with one stone
(i will re post the update.zip for cwm just in case)
5. power off the phone and boot into stock recovery and hit reinstall packages two times
6. you should now be in clockwork mod recovery and can now flash the rom of your choice
this is what i did and everything went smoothly but this is just me if this helps someone else plz let me know if this works for you
p.s. i will make a video if needed just ask
Try This
After flashing back to stock do a master clear from Odin3
Put update.zip onto internal sd
Boot into recovery
Reinstall packages
After boot enable USB debugging and mock locations
Get Rom Manager from market
Start Rom Manager
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Flash away

You guys are making it harder then necessary, the update zip I posted is the clockwork recovery MOD, just flash stock, reboot into recovery and reinstall packages 2 times and you will be in the green clockwork recovery then you can install zip from sd and choose your ROM you placed on your internal sd card. No need to root every again as long as you keep this update zip handy.
I too am having problems with Rom Manager. I just wanted to change modems. No go. So I used the power button to go into Recovery mode, picked the modem file, flashed it then told the menu to reboot system.

Hello folks I have the US Verizon version of the Galaxy S III and when I try to install a rom from either Rom Toolbox or Rom Mananger I get sent to the recovery screen. Once I navigate to the selected rom I set a Signature Verification error and the little Android fella drops. What can I do to fix this. Not all roms act this way but this Miui rom doesn't seem to install. As a matter of fact, any rom I install via the recovery acts this way.
Please help. Thank you.
What recovery are you using? Instead of Rom manager use ez recovery and flash either cwm or TWRP and then flash the rom. Check the md5 of the rom to make sure it matches. I also think there is a setting in a custom recovery for signature verification

You cant flash roms from stock recovery...you need cwm or twrp recovery.
Being that I'm a newbie with this particular phone, I need help in terms of the method you guys are suggesting. I either use Rom Manager or Rom toolbox for flashing but was only successful with Rom Manager for at least two roms but were unstable. Please get back to me on steps on how to get around the Signature Verification where the little Android falls with a red error message.
Thanks.
Thank you for all the advice. I just installed Goo Manager which works with TWRP. I hope it works. I'll update as soon as possible.
Hi there,
I got a brand new Galaxy Note 10.1 this weekend and tried to get my hands dirty on rooting it just yesterday. So I got Odin3, CWM and SuperSU, installed Samsung Kies and thought I were good to go. Unfortunately, after doing what some guides tell me to do, I'm still on official device status.
Before I go into detail: I had to manually edit the Odin3 INI file to force the device NOT to auto reboot after flashing the CWM - the checkboxes in Odin3 were disabled and greyed out. Can someone explain why and if that might be the cause of my problems?

Thanks, but that didn't help either. Auto-Rebooting brings me back to stock, device state official. I tried to install CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip manually via CWM, but a reboot later it's still "official" and apps that need root access either run forever ("checking...") or freeze the tablet. But since this is getting off topic, I might be better off asking in other threads.
Thanks anyway!

Then you are not understanding instructions .
What is your intention .
Root or flash a stock rom .
Root via either method i posted .
Stock rom direct flash tar file via Odin.
ODIN flash is a tar not a zip.
Custom rom via a rooted phone with recovery zip file from ext sd card or sd card .
jje
Come on, the instructions are pretty clear boot in Odin Mode, click a button in Odin, let it restart, finished. The SuperSU zip file is from another guide, where the tar-file didn't include it. So I tried to manually install it via CWM (I think it was 6.0.2.7 or 8), but that didn't work either. Whenever the device reboots, Root Checker Basic runs for a few minutes and says "Sorry, the device does not have proper root access". If it helps, I used this guide:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...ly-root-fuer-anfaenger-n8000-n8010-n8020.html
Even though it's in german, the screenshots are pretty obvious.
Sorry never ever seen any method with those sort of instructions.Personally not a clue what they mean .
I have used two methods as posted to root note 4 or 5 times. Rooted standard Samsung phones with cwm and root hundreds of times without any of those instructions.
Even run one standard cwm root via Odin to allow a specific rom install followed by a reroot using TWRP this afternoon .

Thanks to Darkman, I finally got it. The problem was the current firmware update from Samsung. I reflashed with the version from January, followed his tutorial (like I did before - wow, after doing this 3-4 times, it certainly becomes second nature), and BAM, the device is rooted. Thanks anyway JJegan
Hi Everybody, i'm new here.
As tittle says, i've installed a wrong cwm recovery on my tab.
My tab is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (gt-p6210), and i was using Cyanogenmod 9 with 5.0.2 CWM recovery. but a few days ago, i wanted to upgrade to cyanogenmod 10 version, and i did it. the problem came when wanted to upgrade my CWM.
I downloaded the wrong file, put it in a zip package in my sd card, and install it in recovery mode, device reboot, all ok. then i re-installed the ROM ( with zip file), and all was baadd, fully unstable.
So, i try to reinstall the old CWM and i cant.
Plz Help!! i was all weekend searching information with no success.
hope this helps

PRESS THANXX BUTTON IF HELPED
thx, but i did that a lot of times, my tab says "this should only be installed on a gt-p6210". she thinks she's a T869 model.
i'm trying to use heimdall but i get the error "tar header contained invalid file size", i downloaded the file several times and still not working, search in several forums and i cant find the solution.
Guys i really need help plz!
i have installed the SGH-T869 CWM Recoveryon my GT-P6210.
i have a week trying to install the correct version, only using zip packages, because i cant use heimdal ( getting error about tar size)
really dont know what more else i have to do...
Hello, I am new to this forum at posting but i've read a lot of posts on this forum. So thanks for all the help in the past (and hopefully in the future).
I am trying to put a custom rom on my GT-I8260 but keep on getting the same problem. I have rooted my phone using Kingroot and tried to put several CWM's on my phone using Odin 3. Odin keeps giving me a PASS message after flashing and rebooting my phone.
Everytime I try to get in recovery mode after flashing the CWM I get the normal CWM instead of the flashed one. Because of this problem I can't install a zip file from sd.
Can you give me advice on how to flash a CWM (and also which one I can use best)? Thank you in advance.
