I'm new to this so please speak slowly.
I rooted and installed CM10.1 on my son's Galaxy Tab 2 7". We were having an issue and I accidentally updated from 10.1 to a 10.2 nightly. After that I lost Google Play Store. I tried to re-flash the GAPPS (for 10.2) but I get the Failed to verify whole-file signature error.
After some online investigating (remember, I'm a noob, so there is a whole new vocabulary I'm trying to decipher) it sounds like I need to reinstall the kernel?!?!
1. Is this true?
2. Where do I find the kernel for a p3113 tab?
3. Do I flash through Odin or recovery?
Yes, you did help. I was able to get Rom Manager re-installed (don't even know how I lost that) and clockwork mod. Re-installed 10.1 and then I was able to boot to recovery and re-flash the GAPPS. Fantastic! Thanks a lot.

Gday. I'm having this issues trying to update to the latest 8.01 version of the ultra toxic rom. I cant post as im below 10 post so this was the only place i could find for some help.
I have rom manager installed. and i also flash clockworkmod recovery then reboot into recovery. For what ever reason it will not work and im at a loss, tried uninstall it and go from there but no go.
Once it reboots it says at the top Android system recovery <3e>.
Down a little it says this.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature.
E:signature verification failed.
Installation aborted.
Basically i have searched the net and cant work it out myself. I've used it before for a backup when going from lightning rom to toxic rom. but I've never used it since.
Hi every i've been trying to flash my tmobile HTC ONE S to ParanoidAndroid JellyBean v2.13,fromt this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890464
I unlocked(still s-on), rooted, and tried a couple different recoveries (CWM 5.8.31,5.8.24,5.8.15 etc. and TWRP 1.7, 2.2)
what I did was first unlock,then flash recovery, and root, then flash boot.img from the ROM package, and install from SDcard. However everytime I get a Status 7 error messege, and installation fails...
And one time I tried to install from CWM ROM manger from Google Play in the OS, still failed after it reboot and goes in to recovery.
Some people on the web says that this means I need a different or newer recovery, but I've probably tried all the main and newest versions.....
pls help! thnx in advance!! =)
nvm!!! I was stupid enough to download the ROM version for HTC ONE X..hahaha..
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

Last week I successfully rooted, unlocked my bootloaded and loaded the touchwiz 4.1 ROM. Because the GPS wasn't working and some other fairly bothersome glitches I decided to flash a different ROM, wanted to try CM10. Unfortuneatly, I didn't "read carefully" and just jumped in, trying to replicate my past success by following similar steps. So I booted into recovery to wipe and begin anew.
I used the native recovery, which I've now seen was a bad idea and should have used CWM but I don't know how to install CWM now because I can't load the OS. I originally used Casual to root and help me install 4.1 touchwiz on my Verizon GS3. After factory reset I attempted to install CM10 from the SD card and got the below mentioned error. My phone is stuck. I can only access the native recovery or ODIN mode (I have a mac so I can't use ODIN and Heimdall doesn't seem to want to play nice. Please help!! I need my phone for... life. I'm happy going back to stock if I need to but I'd love to run CM10.

I'd say your best bet is to get all of the ODIN parts and see if a friend has a PC with windows on it you can use for a bit. I dont know of another way.
As far as I know, you will have to flash stock image back with Odin, I don't think anything is ready for the Mac yet. I will be glad when it is, I have 1 as well.
If you don't have any other options, use Boot Camp and Odin will work fine.

Thank you all. Using a friends pc and Odin I was able to flash 4.1 touchwiz but I wasn't able to flash a recovery and keep root.

Now that you have a working device, reroot, install cwm from play store and then make a nandroid backup and flash away. Also,be sure to back up for imei . happy flashing

Phone is tmobile 4gs, T959V with stock rom, rooted. Ok, so I was running a Team Whiskey rom, because it was the only one i could get to work but I was having mem issues, as in none. So I went back to stock rom from tmobile, through this forum. I rooted again, ✓, downloaded file for CyanogenMod 9, ✓, google apps, ✓, copyed to sd card, ✓, restarted phone in recovery mode, ✓, load from sd card, chose file, and get error
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature

I looked for "toggle signature verification" and dont see it.
So...
I did not upload a new kernal. Should I do that first? Thanks for the help
Also, I do have RomManager installed. Should I? I think I read that it doesnt work to well on this phone.
Thx
Ps. running gingerbread 2.3.6
Fixed my own Problem.
Seems having the original kernal does not give you the option to unclick verify. Updated Kernal to Blastoff by Team Acid and then went into recovery mode and there it was. Update sucessful.
Not sure how to edit the title of this post, but might help other people if "Fixed" was added.
When you boot into recovery mode, what color is all the text? It should be either blue, red or orange.
