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:

Thank you, up and running 2.2, will post screen latter! Now I need to get my old phone back to stock so I can send it back to veriazon. YOU ARE THE BEST!!
P.S. I love your idea about the 10 post allowence to post on other forums.

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 there. I got me a samsung galaxy 550 from virgin mobile canada yesterday, and well, I kinda like it despite being a slow piece of hardware with a 320x240 screen but until I can get enough money to buy something better, I'm fine with this (the phone I had before was a nokia n95, so that's a step up.)
The problem is, I want to try out the official 2.2.1 rom from samsung, and the only way I can do that is to update via odin. actually, that's not the problem, but I want to make a backup of all the apps I've downloaded already, and I just can't get it rooted. at all. z4root, universal androot, superoneclick; they just don't work. the one that was the closest to getting it rooted was superoneclick, and even then it can't finish the job, so I'm stuck with superuser on an unrooted phone, and titanium backup won't work either, so I'm kinda stuck here.
What else could I do?
anyone? please?

You may have noticed this is a "development and hacking" forum. Your problem reads more like a user error than a development one.
I do not mean to say this thread does not belong. It is just that "they just don't work" is something like what a Windows-using grandmother would say.
What are the exact errors you are getting? Preferably, they should be copied and pasted from the terminal itself.

Well, z4root doesn't do anything after it says "running exploit", superoneclick gets stuck on "waiting for device", and the only time it managed to get superuser onto it, it couldn't root the device no matter if I updated it or not; universal androot says "FAILED NO FU GOO", both odin and heimdall fails to connect to the device, and ADB doesn't even see the phone no matter what mode it is. I can't seem to find how to boot into recovery mode (I only ever get instructions to boot into download mode).
ok now in odin I get "cannot open the usb serial port. code: 2". sometimes it's code 5.

First problem is ADB not seeing the phone. ADB is pretty necessary if you want to debug something. You will need to download LG's Windows driver for your phone if you use Windows. I will include the one I use for my Optimus V here.
On many LG phones it is impossible to boot into recovery or fastboot mode without modification.
Try zergRush from here first:
https://github.com/revolutionary
If not working, try GingerBreak from here:
http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2011/04/yummy-yummy-gingerbreak.html
You may want or need to compile these first which is going to add another level of complexity. Be patient.
The general idea is:
1.setup your drivers
2.get comfortable working with ADB
3.run temporary root
4.immediately flash recovery
5.immediately Nandroid backup everything in several places for safety
6.test Nandroid backup
7.make whatever modifications you like, including permanent root
That's not a lg phone.
Ok so I managed to install cyanogemod and everything's fine. now, I just wanna know, is there any way to enable multitouch on this thing? it's got a capacitive screen, but no multitouch. can that be fixed or is it really just a hardware issue?
Multitouch is not possible,a fake dual touch is possible.

Ok im an admitted "noob" to the whole android/linux op but not technically challenged at all.. and i researched ALL the info availible before rooting my alltel samsung repp (sch-r680) supposedly its an american clone of an another "galaxy gio", think its an asian model or something... anyway, i made a very careless mistake and erased my backup and system files and now am stuck in a bootloop... i can still access download mode and clockwork recovery but ive tries to flash stock roms with odin, install zips and restore backups(that i copied to my device via usb)... but nothing works, all the nandroid.md5 files respond with mismatch errors, and when i try to flash with odin, either the file passes and is useless to fix the problem or it gives an error something like "odin multidownloader has developed an error and closing"... ive been looking into flashing with fastboot or adb, i have all the neccessary files just havent figured out how to successfully execute... oh, and im having problems running some executable files (.exe), even at the comand prompt,(which im not alll that fluent in command prompt syntax). i know this is not a very popular model, and my carrier store (alltel) is like the last one standing i think but the same model is marketed by us cellular... anyway, sorry for the extremely long message, but i wanted to provide as much info as possible, so if anyone can help id greatly appreciate it... ive been without my andoid for like a week now and seperation anxiety is starting to set in.. pls help!!!
Also, i cant mount my system in cwm or through adb... Dont know if thatll help find a solution but i know its a problem within itself...
Whats up guys? First I just wanna say hi I am a new member and looks like you guys have a great little community here and I'm glad to be a part of it. I hope someone can help me out. Also, I did watch that noob video, I loved it. Before posting this I have searched found some similar but according to that video service provider matters. I guess no one uses virgin mobile..
Alright, so I have an HTC one S that I have had for almost a year now, bought it brand new through virgin mobile. I used for a while and liked the phone but my buddy at work had a galaxy phone and could do so much cool stuff with his that I wanted to do the same. So one day at work he came to this site and "Rooted" my phone. He was suppose to put a different operating system on it too but never did get around to it (he quit before he could). I didn't know him outside of work so I was stuck with just the root which is cool and all but now jellybean has just come out for my phone about 2 weeks ago. But here's where the problem lies, I go to update my phone and the download and install looks like it goes fine, the phone is plugged in while i update, When the phone restarts after the install, the update is not on it and my phone asks me again to update. I've tried this dozens of times with the same result. I have reformatted my phone in the settings and I lost everything I had on it, but that's no big deal. What I ultimately want is for this update to go through. My question: Is there any thing I can do so that it finally updates to jellybean and this damn notification goes away? Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm really stuck and don't have a lot of techie friends that can help me out.
Thanks in advance

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock recovery. Official updates require stock recovery to be properly installed.
To fix this, first download this http://d-h.st/rZW . It's the stock recovery image. Next you'll need fastboot executable on your computer. This comes with android sdk (google it) but i believe can also be found separately. Then you flash the stock recovery on your phone by first booting your phone into bootloader (by pressing volume down and power button when device is shut down) and then entering fastboot mode by selecting it in the bootloader and finally running a command: fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img. Now your phone should be able to install the update.
Option two: as your phone is rooted, you could probably also use an app called flash image gui. It's available in the themes and apps subforum. With it you just first download the file from http://d-h.st/rZW on your phone, then open the flash image gui, browse the downloaded img and flash. After a reboot the update should install.
Please note that I quickly googled for recovery image and even though its named like the correct recovery img I'm not 100% sure its legit. Here in he forums are links to the correct stock recovery if you look around a bit.
Hope this helps!

You can not because your recovery isn't stock so you have to download ruu or ota and flash it vie cmd
Thanks alot guys for the quick reply im going to try this out now. may take me awhile as it looks like i have alot to learn to do this by myself but im sure ill figure it out. and i hit both your little thanks button
All right so after trying both of those out I am still stumped. When I try my first option that adb sdk program package and tried to use the fastboot program on it I get an error. Now I typed this error into your forums and searched around and found some hope but once tried it still didn't work. It's an .".dll" file is missing when I get home to a computer I'll post a link for it. I do understand the steps just this fastboot program won't load.
Now option 2 is what really messes me up because I swear my phone was rooted but I'm scared from trying to factory reset this phone so may ways I may have it only half rooted if that's what its called. Because after I bought this IMG flash program downloaded the image to my phone the program says that there no root so I downloaded and payed for another of this dudes apps that tells me if my phone is rooted and it says sorry has no root access. But if my phone has no root access then why would it boot into that teamwin screen...
I even took a 3rd option and clicked the phone image button on the teamwin start screen. After that flashes I get another error saying that it didn't work so my question now. Is my phone even rooted? And have I ruined anything so far like could I send it in for warranty or is it considers tamperd.
I have tried to explain this the best I can apologize for spelling mistakes. But any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.again thanks in advance.

Install htc sync on your pc to get the drivers. Then download viper ROM along with its boot.img flash script. Flash viper through that "team win thing" (lol
Then put your phone into bootloader, then fastboot USB connected to pc and run the boot.img flash script.
That would be about the easiest way to get jellybean on your phone.

So last night I emailed the creator of the app I used to check my root and here is the msg I got back. Today is a day off and I'm just spending the day browsing the forums and looking for the right tools to fix it. if you get this in mean time can you maybe help to point me in the right way. I really don't want to bug you guys on this forum I know how you hate people like me but I live in a small town and am really relaying on this forum to completely teach me everything from scratch. hopefully without bricking my device that's sounds horrible. Here's my email I got back.
Hi,
The Root Checker Pro results show the device does not have root access setup and unless you've erased and re-installed Android, the device appears to have never had proper root access. I would suggest relying on the same forum to locate the latest and most accurate directions on unlocking the internal memory write protection and then gaining proper root access.
Flash Image GUI will loading custom kernels and assist with loading custom ROMs on devices that have internal memory write protection, such as your HTC One S.
Thanks for the support!

Is your bootloader unlocked? You can check by (with your phone on) hold "volume down" and "power" until button lights at bottom start blinking and the screen turns off... At that point let go of the power button but keep holding the volume down button And eventually you will see the boot loader screen. At the top of the screen it will either say locked or unlocked. Check and report back.

Ya its unlocked but now thats the only screen i can get to i tried to flash that stock image and when i did my phone went into some scfeen that showed a phone and some triangle with an explanation mark. my phone either boots up now to a htc quietly brilliant screen or if i hold the volume down button when its off it goes to that boot-loader screen that shows unlocked and tamperd at the top this is all i really know. Guys im sorry im trying to act like i know what im talking about but in all honesty i really have no idea. im really just pissed now that i even touched it cause it was working fine before besides the wifi constantly shutting down and bugging me to update to jelly bean.

I think what you should do is:
- find ruu matching to your carrier and download it
- relock the bootloader
- flash stock recovery
- boot into bootloader and go to fastboot mode
- connect use cable and wait till phone screen shows fastboot usb
- run the downloaded ruu.exe on pc and wait for it to complete
- on successful completion your phone will be same as you got from a store
Just note that flashing ruu will cause hboot upgrade as well.
If my post helps, remember to use the thanks button.

wouldnt that "ruu" be what the gentleman in the very first reply in option 1 gave me? i have the file and tried flashing with the one button root tool kit by hasoon2000 i clicked on flash recoveroy then chose the file ville_recovery_signed.img. and let the black screen (beleive its called cmd) do its thing but really it looks like its doing nothing and my phone wont boot up the main screen where i can receive texts or make calls. thanks
Ok so i found a friend that understands the way you guys have explained this. Now the unfortunate part is that the virgin mobile (canada) RUU file is extreamly difficult to find. So my question now is do you know where i can find this file i have searched the forums and google but with no luck. im sure once we find this file my phone will be fixed then im not touching it AGAIN! cant explain how much i appreciate all your guys help and patience with me.
Thanks again

System: LG Lucid VS840 4G
Rooted: Yes
So recently, or like 3 weeks ago, rooted my phone successfully. So then after the root my phone wouldn't connect to the google play services. I unrooted my device successfully hoping that was the issue. It wasn't. So I finally decided to do some research, happily on these forums. Lol. I found out that my hosts file was indeed i ncorrectly written. I'm still confused why that happened but I knew how to fix it, didn't work. I rooted it again and allowed it su. Still not working with e, every time I try to add the pound key to the adress in the hosts file, it says fail. So I have another problem. I am running version 4.0.x and when I try to restart with ROM Manager from clockworkmod it boots up saying secure booting error Cause: boot certification verify. Enter the fast boot. Enter the fast boot. Long time no see...Yah, I'm really confused here, someone online said.it was in a brick phase but I can just restart.it back into normal boot. So that's my story of how.I wound up here. Help would be amazing. Thanks!
