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:

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,

Hi all,
I have started this thread after not being able to find any information besides specs on my Sumixe 7inch tablet running 2.1 eclair on it.
I purchased the device from Chinavision (big mistake) and havent been able to get any info out of them regarding firmware.
In the insturction manual provided it shows you how to update the device, But because it was translated into very poor english it is like reading in brail (imposible if you don't know what your looking at). I tryed to follow there procedure to update my device. But this was unsuccesfull.
I then contacted chinavision to get the manufacturs details but they cannot provide me with them.
So i need some help trying to recover a bricked tablet.
First off all where can i get drivers for FWDN for a telechips 8900 arm 11 procersor?
Second can someone dump a copy of there original firmware online for me.
Third. Does anyone know how to get into get into recovery mode on this device after new firmware was installed.
The reason why i want this info is because chinavision want me to pay for shipment back to china which i think is rediculas as it was there crap translation that caused my device to brick.
I would also like to ask the devs to make this thread sticky as there is no info on the net regarding this device that can help. And i know that someone on XDA has a solution
Thanks in advance

i came across this tablet on digg, and then wanted to find out more about this tablet and looked on google..i dont know much about it but i found a page where you can get some manufacturer details
http://www.eriktronica.com/sumixe-7-inch-android-tablet-with-wifi-and-camera..html
scroll down a little
about firmware you can try to manually flash same firmware you had before bricking.. or try(if there is such a way) to go to recovery mode factory reset it.
dont you have some sort of warranty?? to send it back or go to a service or something?
i hope this is useful for you, good luck with your tablet!

Hye pforlin,
Because i orderd my tablet from chinavision they want me to send it back. the cost of sending it back from the netherlands is 20% of the sale value. so not really worth it. I have tryed to do a factory reset, and tryed to get in to recovery mode but havent been succesfull.
I hope i can find someone who has had the same issue to try and get it resolved.
Thanks for your info and ill keep posting to let you know the update
I forgot i'd played around with my bootloads weeks ago and unlocked my phone.
I was returning it to factory to send back today but it comes up with the red "locked for HTC Dev message" when I tryt o do a factory reset so I guess I must have installed another recovery file.
Where can I get the stock file. I'm in work so am limited to where I can go on the internet. I have the "fastboot" folder already. Is this all I need and obviously the correct drivers.
Well I found it but couldn't get the correct drivers working in work so will have to send back as is. Since its going back due to the MAO issue rather than anything else not too worried.
Ok, I have a phone that I purchased used. When my S3 got the Jellybean update in December, I found out it had Clockwork Recovery Mod installed on it. It scared the hell out of me, but I went ahead with the update and it was fine. I am a complete newb to rooting and would never root my phone (I lack the skills). When the update went through in December, I was relieved. For more details on all that, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048805
Today's update was a different story. This update appears to have broken my phone.This time, it won't even boot up. It just say "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless Store for help." Any suggestions on how to fix this? Am I completely screwed? I have almost no knowledge of rooting, ODIN, etc.
R: [Q] Help - I bricked my phone with latest VZW update
It's not bricked.. you should be able to get in download mode and flash a stock firmware with Odin..
edit: I'll link you the url's to the howto's as soon as I get to my pc

The weirdest thing just happened. Ok, I put in ODIN mode and pressed cancel. Then like 3 minutes later, it just started up all on its own. The update failed of course but the phone is working again. Weird. Was able to turn it off and restart.
I think I may trade this phone back into the same folks who sold it to me. I am clearly not cut out for this.
i'm glad the problem solved by itself
anyway if you still want to attempt to reset the phone to stock here is everything you should need to know :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 (take a look at section 5)
it's really not as hard as it looks...just be aware there is always a chance that something could go wrong....just take your time, read, and only go ahead if you are fully confident and willing to accept the risks...
let us know how it went and don't hesitate to ask for help if you are still in doubt after reading the forum
I hate how I am average Joe with my root knowledge and I could fix your phone without thinking twice.
It surprises me you have an xda account and can not even root and unlock boot loader.
You ask for help then say. Never mind.
Haha whatever works for you at the end of the day.

Hello,
My phone is stuck on G955USQS1AQGL and won't receive OTA's. I have factory reset and checked with ATT and they have my correct IMEI and don't really know what the issue is. I have looked and found norbarb's post with the file, but it 404's and their account is disabled. If anyone could help or if you can help me with this extremely annoying issue that would be great . Thank you.
Oh and as for how the issue started, I have no idea. Phone has never been rooted or attempted or unlocked. It has been stock the entire time.
