E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
my phone as gingerbread.xwkf3
android V. 2.3.3
after looking around i have found out it will not install, as the stock recovery is 3e. 3e will not install zip files. so my question is can i revert my phone back too 2e. if so how?
follow instruction in this thread using odin to get clockwork mod, superuser and busybox which is what you need to be booted.

Please ask Chainfire in his CF-Root thread (you have got the link already) for such a version ...
or flash a newer ROM via Odin (like described in Intratech's thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) - for which there is a corresponding CF-Root kernel available.
There is a way to CWM, but you have to go for it

ITs impossible that your kernel says XXKDD and ChainFire will probably not even take the time to answer your question if you dont give the correct information.Please do the following:
Go into SETTINGS-ABOUT PHONE and post the following info

Glad we can help.Better than screwing your phone thats for sure.If your gonna keep on flashing firmwares or ROMs then i recommend you download Titanium Back-up from the market.It backs-up and restores all your apps + data and links them back to the market so you dont loose anything or keep having to re-download stuff again and again.Handy if you have paid apps or games and dont want to loose data
EDIT: I imagine when you flashed the new firmware you kernel changed so you could root,no?!

Instructions from the root post.
CWM Manager
Because of incompatibility with ROM Manager,
I wrote and included "CWM Manager". This is a new app (as of March 30, 2011). You can find it under Applications -> CWM. It is much faster to use than manually booting into CWM and selecting these options.

KF1 Kernel a kernel is not a baseband .
Kernel is the bit between cpu and OS .Baseband is the modem for network/GPS .
As rooting voids your warranty you should understand what you are doing before carrying out the task .

Well, I have few rooted phones behind me, and honestly, I did not really understand the thread(which is supposed to be for noobs) either... I just picked up one of those Kernels(KF4) and flashed it, phone is working just fine, so I guess I picked up the correct one, however no idea whats the difference between them anyways

KG1 is just a kernel for andorid 2.3.4..and you need to upgrade rom to 2.3.4 as well.

my kernal version is LC1 after searching this forums i did see somebody saying that its non rootable but that was a while back... i want to know if there is any way to root this kernal.
Thanks in advance.

By rooting you are already void your waranty...
by flashing a insecure kernel you will get a flash counter +
By flashing a cutom kernel like Siyah your stock hebrew supported firmware will not be get effected, it will be there as it is..

Then bad luck, this is not leaked yet to enable devs to make a CF-root and insecure kernel I think
there is also no original kernel available for this firmware, if you flash someother custom kernel and if something went wrong to go back...
if you wish pick from here any other rom for Israel available, might be hebrew supported...

Hello xda-devs,
I rooted my sgs2 a while back , but now with the official release of ICS on my phone , I'd like to update to it.
My questions are: Can I do it without unrooting the phone? If not , how can I unroot my phone along with most of the apps I got that only work on rooted devices?
Thanks in advance

You have to Root again. Actually rooting is much easier in ICS.
First, you need to post your Firmware details: Goto Settings > About phone, and post everything you see.
