Keep in mind that I'm brand new at this so please don't just say "do this ____" and expect me to know what you're talking about .
I finally was able to root my new fascinate and flashed CWM. The ROM installation guide says if you're already rooted with CWM installed to simply reboot into recovery, wipe everything and flash. Only problem is, when I boot into recovery I am getting this error message.
-- Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

Can anyone tell me step by step what I need to do to solve this? Also I was assuming the camera button would work as the 'OK' or 'enter' button but it does nothing. Is one of the soft buttons used along with the volume rocker to select choices in recovery? I have some experience hacking my og Droid but this fascinate stuff is all greek to me.
With the help of google I think I figured out what was wrong, needed to flash something from odin to get it to work beforehand.

Rebooting now, will let you all know if it worked.
I have definitely messed something up.. after flashing CWMRecovery.tar (used PDA, not phone) my phone just stays in a bootloop now. I can get into stock recovery but reboot now and the apply option do nothing but throw out error messages. I'm pretty sure it's hosed so I'm going through the steps to flash it through odin back to stock. Can anyone explain to me what exactly I did wrong here?
It may help if you give details... what rom did you flash? What kernel? This could help us help you.

I second this, from previous personal experiences with this it sounds like something has gone wrong with your odin/flashing or you may be using old/outdated/corrupt files.. if you could tell us what you are odin-ing/flashing and exactly how you're doing it we can give you specific answers

not sure whats up with that, someone said its cause I dont have SU, but I followed the root process exact, so what else does this mean? and how can I get other these roms to work -
this rom is Viper 1.2
Did you flash a su zip?

Try the latest twrp 1.0.2 I had the same problem as you, and I redid the recovery tonight, and the problem is gone, for me, at least on the one rom I flashed tonight. I tried cwm yesterday and got an error with that recovery too, but it was a different error, but I am sure it meant the same thing.
Another way around it is to just do a reboot. Your system wont be there so reboot into bootloader and go back into recovery. This worked yesterday for me....
yes neopolotin75 , I did flash the SU file, signed and unsigned....
and yes B-Mod, got 1.0.2 installed, and also again did the signed and unsigned, wiped everything, formatted everything, and still no go....
not sure what the heck. maybe take my phone back to stock, and start over...
thanks anyhow...
disconnect the cable from the phone.....
FIGURED IT OUT - i got my file from mega upload, 2 times..... along with some of the other roms, and they always gave that error...
I now got viper 1.2 from hostfile. it is installing, after comparing the files, mega upload said it was good, but was missing about 2 megs of data.
hope this will help anyone else who gets this error, just try different sites for your roms as they seem to be getting hit hard with lots of downloads.
I had the same issue. If you re-apply the ZIP a second time it works without an error message.

Sometimes. If it's a status 0, 1, or 2 that is usually accurate. Just reboot back into recovery and it works. But if it says "bad", the .zip is corrupt and it needs to be redownloaded.
Ok peeps, completed S-off successfully and have Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 as my recovery. Almost there and when I went to install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip for ROOT, I received the following:
Installing: /sdcard/su-.3.6.2-efgh-signed.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

Can anyone shed some light to my current situation? Thank you in advance.
I had the same thing happen the first time that I tried. I just retried and it we through the second time. If it doesn't work when you retry, try deleting it from your sd card, then redownloading it, and try it all over. you might have gotten an incomplete file
You have a good one you could send me in case that is the problem?

youre alright bro, just flash this one and you'll be all set...http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36719158/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Odds are you had one that wasnt properly signed, youre 98% done!
I keep getting this message when I try to flash a couple different mods and Im baffled.
e:/ unable to stat '/sdcard2/' ....... yes it says STAT and not Start.
Evo4g LTE -> Rooted and Unlocked w/TWRP
Backed up once I did all that.
I can flash the Viper ROM no problem and have done that and gone back to stock and now back on Viper.
Ive tried to flash DualCPU Mod, the V6Supercharge, the Advanced Power Menu ...... none seem to take with either Viper or Stock ROM.
I always get that message ..... always trying to flash through TWRP Recovery
Ive searched Google and XDA ..... can take a flame if needed to get some help .....
I have not yet tried doing the flashes manually through my laptop and ADB
Appreciate anything helpful someone can post.
Maybe you have to mount the sd card first? I've not tried it but there should be an option to mount or unmount. Maybe it isn't mounted for some reason.
Could also be due to TWRP looking on internal SD card whereas goomanager is looking on external (or visa-versa)
If you're using goo.im manager, try flashing directly from twrp.
Good luck!

Hmm...get same message at end of flash. Curious, when you plug in usb in rom do you show a disk drive option, in addition to charge, htc sync, etc. ?
Is your misc partition corrupt by any chance?

I'm running the latest stock firmware and Siyah kernel. I tried to flash the latest version of the LiquidSmooth rom and receievd the error:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "d2aat" l l getprop ("ro.build.product") == "d2att"
E: Error in /emmc//Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC5-d2att.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
I did some searching and concluded that my outdated version of cwm is causing the problem. I first attempted to upgrade to the latest version of Touch cwm with Rom manager but was unable to install the update because apparently there was an "Error while downloading from server." I tried about 10 times on both wifi and 3g to avail. I then attempted to manually flash Touch v.6.0.3.5 from a .zip file in my current version of cwm (non-touch v.6.0.3.2) and although it said 'install from sdcard complete', when I reboot into recovery I'm still on the 6.0.3.2 version, the update won't stick. I tried multiple times but I just can't get it to overwrite my current version of cwm. Lastly I tried flashing Touch v.6.0.3.5 with a .tar file via oOdin. Odin said the flash was successful but when I tried to boot into recovery it got stuck on the Samsung logo. I just used Rom manager to flash back to 6.0.3.2 and now I'm back to square one.
All I want to do is update my recovery! Why is this so difficult? :crying:
I'd greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.
Anyone? Sorry, I know bumping is kind of obnoxious but I'm really stuck here.

Try PhilZ Touch recovery. And as far as I know 6.0.3.5 isn't ready for the S3 yet so maybe that's why you're having problems.

More to the point its against the rules .

Thanks for replying. I successfully flashed PhilZ recovery so that's a step in the right direction. However I still can't flash Liquid Smooth. When I select 'install from .zip' and then 'choose file from sd card' the Liquid Smooth zip file isn't there (even though it is definitely the on the root of my SD card), it was detected on my previous version of cwm but not on PhilZ for some reason. When I select 'choose file from sd card' all I see is a directory called 'clockworkmod /', when I select that it just says 'no files found.' What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I won't do it again.
You don't sound too big on reading information, try following the instructions for philz interface as it sounds like you're looking at your internal sd card.

I actually did skim the entire page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860) and couldn't find any help. After reading your post I also did a control+g search for the word 'sdcard' and couldn't find the information you alluded to. Anyway, I moved the Liquid Smooth zip to my external SD card as your post implied I should. I can see the zip now so thanks. However, when I try to flash it, I'm still getting the exact same error as I was on my original version of cwm:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "d2aat" l l getprop ("ro.build.product") == "d2att"

I've already tried wiping so I'll head over the official Liquid Smooth thread and see if anyone there can help me out. Thanks for trying to help everyone, at least we've ruled out the possibility that it's a recovery issue.
Looking at the error you are trying to flash the AT& T VERSION!

Thanks but I'm definitely, flashing the i9300 version, I copied the error from another thread and forgot to edit the version.
EDIT: I am the biggest idiot in the world. It turns out I was using the AT & T version, know idea how the hell I managed to miss that. I guess Boomer was right, I do suck at reading information. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Thank you so much Slaphead!
