Problems trying to put any stock version

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?

Phone stuck on Samsung Galaxy S III screen after aborted 4.3 update!

Hi,
I went and rooted, unlocked the bootloader and THOUGHT that CWM Touch Recovery was installed using the Beans script on a 4.1.2 Galaxy S3. I went ahead and told the phone to take the OTA as I thought that it would reject it and then not ask any more. After part way through the install, I pulled the battery because I realized (pretty sure) that the CWM recovery hadn't installed properly and the stock recovery had booted up at the end of the script process.
Now the phone gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen and wont boot. I can get into download mode and see the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
What do I do now? Am I committed to using Odin to put on the Verizon official 4.3 Firmware and can I do something else?
Thanks!

Can I go back to 4.1.2 based on the reported text showing up on the download mode screen or must I go to 4.3?

Thank you! Applied the firmware via Odin and I am back in business! You just kept my wife from killing me!
I see what the problem was now. When performing the Insecure Boot flash and Recovery flash, I needed to grant the ADB super user request on my phone. But because the lock screen was on instead of being "in" the phone, I didn't see it and thus the bootloader was not unlocked nor was recovery installed. When going through the process this time, I had unlocked the bootloader and saw the request and this time things went flawlessly!

Soft brick after kernel flashing fail.

My phone has been soft bricked after trying to flash the latest dkp kernel. I was using philz touch recovery and I tried to flash dkp kernel 3-20 build, and I got an error during flashing saying that it couldn't decompress the ramdisk. So I tried to flash the older version of dkp that I was using, and it failed to flash! I have never had problems like this before. So now my phone will not boot to system or go back to recovery. I can only access download mode. I was using CM11 with the ML1 modem and dkp kernel before my phone got bricked. It really frustrates me that my phone just randomly decided to freak out and brick itself, because I've been doing the same thing forever and never had any problems flashing a kernel. Please tell me how I can fix my phone. Thank you.

I did an ODIN back to stock MF1. In ODIN it says "Pass!" above the com port, and it also says <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0). However, my phone has been stuck on the 4G LTE screen with the colorful rings for around 15 minutes and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. What should I do?

Pull battery out and reboot.. Thats mentioned on instructions.

Well when I pulled the battery and tried to reboot a samsung logo with an unlocked symbol was underneath it and it still gets stuck on the 4g LTE screen. Also, it won't allow me to enter the recovery.
So I went back to download mode on my screen and i noticed that it still says "System Status: Custom"

Like I said, it won't go into recovery mode. It seems like it is going to and then it just has a black screen.

You have to be able to boot into recovery, make sure you hold the volume up + home for an extended period of time.
If you can't, you need to Odin the stock rom and try again.

The ODIN to stock did not work correctly. Maybe I need a different MF1 tar file. Can someone point me to a link for it? I have searched an can't find a completely stock MF1 file.

Don't know what else to tell you, it's a completely stock file.
Recovery, system, kernel, and bootloader.
If you can't boot into recovery it must've not flashed perfectly or something else is wrong, like your hardware.

I highly doubt that it is a hardware issue. I just tried to ODIN again and I'm in the same situation. One thing that I have noticed is that it tries to reinstall the MTP driver after using ODIN and it fails to install.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was able to enter recovery this time. I just did a factory reset. Hopefully it boots now. I will report back with results.
UPDATE: Ok. Everything seems fine now. Used casual to root and unlock bootloader again. Then installed PhilZ Touch Recovery. Now I am making a backup, and I am going to flash a Kit Kat Rom.

[Q] Lost, weird state in Soft-bricked S3.

First post..
Hello all.
I was running a CM11 nightly on my SCH-I535 and need to take back my phone to Verizon. The nightly wasn't rooted or didn't allow me root access so I couldn't use Triangle Away to reset my flash counter. I tried to flash a newer stock rom I535VRUDNE1 and soft-bricked my phone although Odin said the process failed. Since then I have tried to fix the problem and the only step I've made forward was when I flashed a stock recovery and was able to get into recovery. Everything else I try to flash via Odin fails. The main two fail messages are: FAIL! (auth) and Complete(Write) operation failed. I'm at a loss of where to go and what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s.- the download screen reads as follows:
Product Name: SCH-I535
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Bootloader AP SWREV: 2
SW REV Check Fail: Fused 2 > Binary 0
Thanks again!

In the newer versions of Odin, you're supposed to use ap. Maybe you should update Odin and try it out with the ap option

bricked Galaxy s6 edge sprint

Few days ago tried to update my galaxy to 5.1.1. from 5.0.2, just succesfully. Than i installed TWRP and Wicked firmware and from SuperSu downloaded binary for root and restated my phone. It was a last moment i have seen it booted. After that i tried so many times to flash every firmware(original for sprint) in the XDA and Odin failed. Recovery doesnt work and phone doesnt boot at all, Just download mode. Have i any chance to ressurect it?
thats what he saying while trying to boot: Kernel is not seandroid enforcing custom binary locked by FRP lock(this is what blocking flashing)

What is the exact firmware version that you're using?
