Just received and update from Samsung today and lost root on my tablet. When I tried to root again it failed saying it could not verify whole-file signuature on CWM-SuperSu.zip file.
Any ideas?
How did you try rooting it?

Can you tell us what your new build number is and what the model # of your note is?
And how are you trying to get root access again? If you're using ODIN then it should work OK, if you're using Mobile ODIN, you need root to use this.
A zip file generally means you are trying to flash using Mobile ODIN or CWM...

Was using ODIN to root but realized I had skipped a step when running CWM. Now have root. Reading your post jogged this old memory... Thanks
No worries mate, like to hear its just a little thing and nothing major... :good:

I've tried searching and just can't seem to find a definitive answer. I'm wondering if when you do the root method using ODIN (This one) if it erases all the data on the tablet or not?
The reason I'm asking is I've got a tablet for my son and I would like to try and back up some of his save games off my tablet and transfer them to his new (nook color already rooted) so he doesn't have to start over from scratch. I'd probably like to do this using Titanium Backup which I can figure out myself, but I just don't want to try the rooting method without having at least a little hope that my files won't be erased.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that might be the case...
Does anyone have any ideas on another way I can back up the game saves without having root? Or better - I saw on the Note 10.1 forums that they've got a way to achieve root by just flashing a root-injected stock rom through the stock recovery. Is something like that possible with our tablets?
(For reference this is the posts/pages I'm referring to about the note 10.1 root method where they don't lose apps, etc: Here and Here)

As i think so he played the game in stock rom non rooted then you want to root tab to backup
So you could flash via odin the root files and no erase will be done as total erase by odin occur only when you flash a full stock firmware not the root files

Sorry I am so late replying back to this thread. College stuff came up which I needed to focus on.
I'm confused on the exact process I need to follow to flash only the Root files through ODIN. The instructions in that tutorial are for flashing the "CWM Root for Tab2 10.1" files through ClockworkMod Recovery. I've not had any experience with flashing things through ODIN and I'm not sure what I need to do to make sure that happens correctly. Does ODIN support flashing just root files like this (even if it looks like they are designed for CWM)? I was under the impression that if it was designed for CWM then it must be flashed using CWM.
-- Zeustopher
Does anyone have any further insight into flashing just the root files through ODIN and not the recovery? I just want to make absolute sure that I know what I'm doing before I give it a try.
Thanks,
-- Zeustopher
As a general rule, .tar files are for odin and. zip files for CWM. You can use my guide (link in signature) to root as it's a bit more detailed.

Firstly If flashing the same rom [yes I am talking about the whole firmware package not just root files] It won't wipe your data partition.
I've experienced it myself.
I've flashed the whole stock firmware downloaded from sammobile.com to the base stock firmware but it didn't wipe my internal memory.
My apps, contacts and messages were intact.
but having a backup is advised.

Just in case you wish to have root without leaving your stock recovery then try CF_Auto_root.tar, you have your stock recovery with you.

Rooting means pushing su libraries into system directories which is not possible with odin. There these custom recoveries come handy.
since root adb is accessable using these recoveries, they can easily install root into your device.
A healthy advice: Since you flash your device using odin [the only way... yet] for rooting. It will hit the flash counter in your device. use triangle away app from play store to remove it and get it to 0 so that you have your warranty with you. also remove your root and custom recovery before going to a service center..
Flashin tru odin won't remove your data..
it'll just write over the "data" thats included in the rom
if u use odin just to root..
it well just push root to system/app and /xbin or bin folder..
so u wont loose anything
Finally Chainfire released this version to support the lastest sammy devices.. get it here..

Can you explain how this works. I am currently rooted with Framaroot and have not graded the latest update last week or the one this morning which i suspect was sent out to fix some of the issues from last week. But anyway, can i use this with the Framaroot..thx
This is an app for u to install on ur device for flashing tar files.. It works just like the pc version of odin. About the framaroot thingy i'm sure it'll work as long as u flashed the proper kernel for ur device.

Framaroot doesn't work with the new software update. You need to use the Note 8 toolkit or CF-Root in order to get root again.

You may use rooted device with framaroot, then apply update from SamMobile via Mobile Odin with EverRoot. This method i using on devices, where i cannot flash CWM (owners do not want raise flash counter).

This is exactly what I did. And then flashed my region's modem.bin over the top with mobile odin and still kept root.
Mobile odin and titanium backup are the most useful and essential apps I've ever bought - this is my third rooted android device using them.

get the .tar file with twrp recovery. copy it to your ext card. open mobile odin. press on Recovery, choose ext card, find your file, insert it. and then go to the very bottom and press flash firmware. everything will take just a while. after flashing your Note will reboot already in twrp recovery.
hope it helps.

Hi, I have a problem that has me worried is that I had the latest version for my galaxy s3, but I started to give problems with the camera, when the error was saying abria camera.
Well I decided to flash again using odin android version 3.07 and version I535VRBMF1, but when you finish installing and Restarts the phone enters recovery mode says this
e: failed to Verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Instalation aborted.
I've tried with version 4.0.4 and also feel the same, not to do never had happened, the stock rom is all and that I had also, in some cases the phone rises to the configuration but remains there, says updating android is not letting me do anything, begins to vibrate.
thanks

Hmm, try Odin flashing one of these tar files, preferably BLK3. I'm somewhat confused by your words. When you Odin flash a tar, it successfully does so then it never boots into the rom and automatically goes back into recovery? Is that what you're saying?

Hey. I tried using the search feature but perhaps my keywords are wrong or just to broad. I'm running stock, rotted using zedomax's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152). I want to get the latest OTA, but when using the software update, of course I get the error for the tablet being modified. There seems to be a process in order to get the OTA, but I can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

As you know when you are rooted you can not get OTA updates, you need to install the update manually.
You will have to goto http://samfirmware.com/ register and then look for the firmware that is for your device and region in the tab "Check Your Firmware".
After downloading the firmware follow the directions by Zedomax on "How to Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy Note 10.1! [Factory Firmware]"
it is the same process and you will lose root.
You could also install via Mobile Odin and choose to inject root, su, and mobile odin on installation. I am also stock rooted and use this method to stay up to date and maintian root.

There is no need to unroot. This method roots the firmware as it is installed.
Download the firmware from sammobile to your SD
Open mobile Odin
Use mobile Odin to locate firmware on SD
Check options you want- root, inject su, inject mobile Odin, etc
Push flash firmware.

So I had root working with SU. I updated to the latest SU using flashfire. It flashed and rebooted the phone, now I'm bricked.
I get "security error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked"
I can't get into Recovery or download.
I'm assuming I'm f*cked?
You weren't supposed to update SuperSu it was specifically stated in the original tutorials that updating would cause issues...
Also explain how you aren't able to access the recovery or download mode...
Is the screen black?
Does your computer recognize it when it's plugged in?
All you had to do was extract the newest supersu.apk from the new chainfire release and install via app installer. Hope you got it by now.
Yeah, I got it now.
FYI - extracting the superu.apk doesn't update it. You have to re-run the root.bat that comes with the .zip.
Also, I had to re-flash the stock firmware.
That was scary.
Thanks,
Glad you got it but what I meant was to extract the APK from the zip file transfer it to your phone and then install the APK file regular. either way I'm glad you got it fixed
