Hi all -
Thanks for the wealth of knowledge. I have been rooted and successfully been running CM10 for about a month and a half now. I decided to check out the changelog for the latest nightly and decided to upgrade via the CM upgrade tool (to cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip).
When rebooting into Android System Recovery, I try to 'apply update from external storage' and run gapps but receive the error: E: failed to verify whole-file signature and E: signature verification failed.
I've run into all sorts of issues, so I wanted to wipe. I wiped and now I am running into a few issues I was hoping someone could assist:
- I cannot access my Google Account (add it, access Play, etc.)
- My 4g signal strength is very poor compared to earlier versions.
Attached are two screenshots to give you an idea what I am working with.

Thanks for your help.

You chose the wrong option. While in CWM, you were supposed to select "Install zip from sd card"

Do you actually have the Play Store and Google Apps in your app drawer? If not, you need to install the GApps along with the rom.
If you do have the Play Store but can't sign in, try wiping data for Play Store and also Google Services Framework in Settings/Apps
First off, thanks for the response.

I do not. I tried to install GApps and that's when I received the message I've bolded above.

Hmm, and that's with the CM10 Upgrade tool? What happens when you manually boot into CWM (notice the difference) recovery then flash? Which version of CWM are you using?

Good point, I actually didn't try that.
I think If I was booting into CWM, I would have had the option.
I ended up getting frustrated, went back to stock, and will try it fresh.
Thanks for the help Slim.
It sounds like you were in stock recovery. Cwm must be installed manually.

No problem, I'm on TW so I don't have any experience with the CM upgrade tool. Just a reminder, make sure to use CWM 6.0.2.3 or TWRP 2.3.3 for AOSP JB 4.2 roms.

Feeling dumb, but I have successfully rooted and loaded (multiple times) ROMS on my Droid Incredible. Though I can't seem to get ROM manager to load a downloaded (CM7) rom onto my captivate - YES the phone is rooted .
I think i'm missing the bootloader, but i'm unsure. All the phone does is go to "Samsung Recovery Utils" and offers the following options only
*reboot system now
*reinstall packages
*delete all user data
*delete cache data
*format internal sd-card
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong or point me to a thread that doesn't just say "download rom, install from SD card and done"?
let me give you a hint. there is a sticky section.....read

Going from Stock Froyo 2.2 to CM7. but when i go into the boot screen it's blue and gives me the options above. Then when I press the "reinstall updates" I get a
E:failed to verify whole-file signature

I must be doing something just simple and stupid, but thought i'd ask anyways. I'll try to find the sticky and see if it tells me something i haven't tried. Thanks!

I tried that multiple times.
my understanding is the text at that point should be green, but it's still blue and gives the same exact error. "E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verification failed"
Alright, I tried the Heimdall version which shows more promise, i'm just now unable to boot into any recovery. I hold the volume buttons and power for the 3-5 seconds and it boots to a boot screen with "TALON" on it. but nothing else from there.
Am I missing something else?
to first issue.... you followed the wrong link in my signature....
" 3e recovery fix " is what you were looking for.... since you were having truoble with 3e recovery.... thought that would be self explanatory.....
make sure usb debugging is ONturn OFF anti-virus for 5 minutes or until reboot
plug in phone.
click the bat file in this file.
you will have THE SAME RECOVERY with NO error
signature verification pass...
flash any update.zip package
but since you have a custom kernel with cwm now.....
What heimdall method are you talking about? for recovery? for flashing roms? what are you talking about. heimdall can do alot of stuff. did you upgrade bootloaders? or??
keep trying the button combo.. if it turns on, it will go into recovery.
Please search before posting, on that note thread closed.
So I installed this ROM last night which went smoothly. A few posts down there is a link to gapps which I donwloaded. There are the steps that I took:
Put the .zip on my flash card (gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip)
Booted into recovery
Selected "apply update from external storage"
Pointed it to the .zip
The install process starts. It fails saying "failed to verify whole-file signature" and "signature verification failed". Installation aborted.
Do I have the correct process for installing these?
Am I using the incorrect gapps? Seems to be why most people have this issue. I read the thread and as far as I can tell it is supposed to be the correct one. I didnt' hear of anyone else complaining about it.
Thanks in advance...
Dustin
You have to boot into Custom recovery, and then, select 'Install zip from sdcard', then flash the gapps. Like you did it when you've installed the ROM. But, now, you're using CM10 recovery instead the Atrix 2 Bootstrapper.

Yeah, those are the correct gapps for your ROM, but it should say something along the lines of "install zip from SD card" or something like that. Also, wipe cache and dalvik before flashing. :thumbup:

Aah, thanks fellas. I think I see what was going on. If I held the Up/Down arrows before betting the motorola boot screen, it would put me into what looked like the stock motorola. If I did it after the motorola logo appeared, I got into a different looking recovery that had the options that you guys described.

Sounds like you've got it. If I understand correctly from what I've read, the reason the stock recovery is still there is due to the locked bootloader. Any custom recovery for this phone has to be installed on the system partition. So after installing a custom recovery, you'll have 2 recoveries. One before the boot process starts, and one is a hijack that happens just after the Motorola logo appears. That is, if I understand it right. If anyone wants to correct me or further clarify, feel free....

1) download from http://get.cm/get/iwr
2) boot in recovery.
3) create a backup from recovery. (didnt do this as i already took a titanium backup before)
4) then simply install the zip, without wiping anything.
5) reboot.
its showing me the following message :-
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed

There is an option to toggle signature verification in recovery. Possibly under "install zip"

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?
also any link to easily restore the backup containing all apps+data? (from cwm i think u can do that from recovery and titanium has the recover data in the app itself)

this is the most important step, and you failed miserably. a backup in recovery is not the same thing as backing up with titanium. a backup in recovery is for when you flash something bad that has serious issues, or you flash something and cant boot up. if you flashed a bad download, and you wont pass the google screen, a titanium backup can not help you. thats when a backup in your recovery helps. in that case, you would just restore your backup, and you would boot up with how your rom was exactly before flashing something bad. otherwise, i can see you posting a new thread title.. "I flashed cm now my phone is bricked".;
Hi Guys,
I have tried many of the ROMs available however, for the most part, I get this error "error executing updater binary" in TWRP. I have also tried CWM and Philz recovery. The only ROM that installs is CM11. Does any one know what is the issue? Anyone got a solution? Thanks.
Current Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.1
I'm the only one experiencing this issue?
Specifically which ROMs have you tried?
Transmitted via Bacon
I've tried the following:
AOSP from the Oneplus homepage
AOSP flapped
mahdi-rom
Team GUMMY
Are you checking the md5 when you download?
Transmitted via Bacon
No, I did not. However, having said that, would it really be the case of corrupt downloads across multiple roms? As well, CM11 installs perfectly fine.
I'll do some checking now.

It's possible, I'm just throwing out the usual causes of your problem. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened.
Transmitted via Bacon
Well, just re-downloaded AOSP from the oneplus homepage and flapped AOSP. I also checked their md5 hashes; they match. I will report back.
I'm getting this same message, except I'm getting it when trying to install the new OTA update. I'm rooted with custom recovery, but haven't flashed any ROM. After I download the update, I push "install update" and my phone reboots into TWRP to install the update, and then gives me the "error executing updater binary" error. I tried downloading the update manually off the web and installing it via TWRP on my own, but it gave me the same message. Not really sure what else to do at this point.

Just tried to flash both, both times I get the "error executing updater binary" error. I do not have the technical expertise to try to correct this.
Anyone else with any ideas?
Unzip the ROM that works and the ROM that doesn't with 7zip, then swap the update-binary from the working to the non. Rezip (set to store) then either sign the ROM or toggle SIG verification in recovery, then make nandroid, wipe clean, flash
By the way, what version do you have? 16 64? Chinese? Can you get bootloader info?

The ROM that works is CM11 nightly and the one that I would like to install is pure AOSP. Are you certain that their update binary files would/could be interchangeable?
And how to do you "set to store"? I use 7zip.
I have the international 64GB. And I am not sure how to check my bootloader.
I really do apologize for my newb-ness on this matter.
There shouldn't be an issue, but of course I can't promise as I don't know what specifically is going on in your case
When you choose zip, there you will have different compression options, choose store
Try
fastboot oem device-info

I have had tons on trouble trying to update today. The error message that I keep getting is "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" This makes the phone unusable because the message keeps popping up even after I click "OK". I was linked to Calkulins file from another thread. I have factory reset phone, deleted data, and wiped cache. I have copied the zip to the phone and tried to load from CM Recovery [Volume Down and Power] with no success. I get the following messages in Recovery:

Worked for me too. Thx a lot
Some questions:
In order to clean up some stuff I never use, I removed some useless apps (Play Games, Play Books, Play Music, …). After flashing the ROM, those apps were installed again.
Was that the reason, why the update failed?
Is it for some stability / update / security fact useful, to keep those apps installed?
