Sorry i do appologies if i am writing this in the wrong place. But i really need some help.
Today i tried to root my Galaxy s3 , first i tried this Odin method with the cf-root. I installed this and it seemed fine.
I then downloaded this Rootbox and most stupidly deleted all my info on the phone.
( totally stupid cause im not used to the large memory ). Ok but im over it so now i can get into recovery
mode and try install from sd card but i keep getting E: failed to verify whole-file signature.
i have formated sd card and tried another version but im still getting the same error.
PLEASE HELP.
thanks

I'm really stuck here guys, and I seriously could use some help. I was messing around (yes, I know what I'm doing) I installed Bionix's Rom and I liked VooDoo but not the Rom. So I thought, I could just flash the kernel with stock JI6. I was wrong because I couldn't find anything on the post stating it didn't work or I would need a certain file (which I did, and have now) So the phone was going through the Voodoo robot girl steps and then just stood on the Vibrant logo. I took the battery out and went into download mode. Tried to restore back to JI6 on odin but it failed then the phone wasn't recognized. Rebooted again and now I have some weird error, it's a phone with a exclamation mark in the middle and a pc next to it. Any ideas? I've seriously searched and haven't found anything. Getting a little panicky :-|
Edit -- Forget it guys! Thankfully I was able to get back to download mode and it's working again :-D
Edit 2 -- I spoke to soon. I'm having another issue now. I use Odin to get it back to stock JI6 it passes and the phone boots up, show the T-Mobile logo then just goes black like if it died but it isn't dead. I don't know what to do :-( I used Odin 3 times already and it's the same thing.
Great !
All the best then..

Try to boot into stock recovery select wipe all user data. This should take your phone back to factory mode. Else there are plenty of links, that will tell you how to go back to stock using ODIN. Go back to stock using ODIN, then upgrade to JI6 using ODIN. Hope this helps.

I was able to fix it. Only took me 3 hours LOL. I kept going back to stock with Odin. Then I used Odin 1.0 to flash Froyo that doesn't brick because 1.30 kept failing then it gave me some error e:\ something so I flashed stock JI6 with Odin 1.30 and got the same error. Wiped user data and cache, rebooted and it worked. Never want to go through that again!
Edit -- Forgot to mention I flashed JFD then went JI6. I believe... LOL it was late and I didnt sleep all day but couldnt sleep until I fixed it. I used JFD, JI2, JI6, Froyo that doesnt brick through out the whole 3 hour process.

What I used that always worked for me was pull out the battery. Leave the phone alone for 15 seconds then plug the USB in, hold both volume buttons and put the battery in. Should go into download mode immediately.

Heeeeelp
I am stuck on the "phone with a exclamation mark in the middle and a pc next to it" screen, I cant get my computer to recognize the phone anymore, and I cant get the phone to go to download mode anymore, PLEASE HELP ...
I was in the process of putting the stock version again on the phone after my phone started to freeze up on the Vibrant screen after the voodoo update
If your phone isnt hardware locked. Just hold down the volume keys and power button at the same time (with USB in) wait until the phone pc exclamation mark screen is gone and let go of the power button. Worked for me all the time.

I had the same issue. I'm not sure why it happens either. What I did was install Froyo that doesn't brick and flash that using Odin then I got an error on that. So I went back into download mode and flashed stock JFD and click repartition. It have me an error again and I wiped user data and cache then clicked reboot and it worked for me. Both those files can be found in the Development section. If you can't get it to work just keep trying man, flashing back and fourth until it works because like I said I did exactly that and it took me 3 hours to fix on my own. It's a real *****.

What ROM do you get that error on? If it's the Froyo that doesn't brick just install JFD over it by pulling out the battery, waiting 15 secs then put the USB on, hold volume buttons and put battery on. Should get you into download mode. If its the stock JFD or JI just go down to clear user data, then clear cache and then click reboot. You should see those options in the recovery.

Hi. Yesterday i had a problem installing a recovery from Cyanogenmod rom and i got the message of fast booting. I found a tutorial saying how to repair it and i followed it without any problem.
But now, when i boot the phone, y reach the "Android" bootanimation and it stays like that forever. What can be happening now? I had Cyanogen from Mik and flashed a stock froyo (now trying a stock gb, maybe that´s the problem)
Can i save the phone?
Greetings.
After flashing the stock GB, the phone remains the same, staying in the Android bootlogo for ever
Any idea?
You have to wipe data.
Via normal Android recovery? Because when i access to it it shutdowns :S
Yes, but after factory reset, phone should reboot.. For you it only shuts down?
Let´s see, i followed the tutorial and flashed a stock gingerbread (before a stock froyo).
Then, when i access the recovery , a little image with a box, a droid and a bar appears, but then it only reboots. There, when Android bootanimation shows, the phone stays like that for ever and i need to quit the battery.
Edit: I accesed the recovery, but i can´t push any option, only go up and down.
strange.. the bar need to load till end and then the phone reboots.
maybe you have to wait for longer at bootanimation? because the first boot takes longer.
if not, try to flash ROM again, with kdz.
Edit: the menu button doesn't work?
I flashed like 3 different roms and waited in one of them 7 hours to boot. When it access the recovery it appears a warning button and this:
Finding update package
Opening Update Package
Veryfing update package
E: Failed to read footer from /cache/ (is a directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation Aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, in that recovery i can only go up and down, any other button works. If i push home, the recovery dissapear, but then if i push it again it appears again. That menu offers the option to wipe data but i can´t do it.
Are you able to wipe everything?
data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats.
No, that menu doesn´t work. I only can wipe cache and factory reset.
It appears the rom is well-flashed, but when it reaches the android logo it goes in a loop.
then wipe data and cache.
It resurrected! :O
I flashed a stock Movistar rom from America and it booted normally! Thank god
But i don´t understand why booted now and not later. Also, i couldn´t do anything it the recovery. Anyway, i can root it again because it´s a froyo.
Thank you.
Greetings!
yeah, it's strange that it didn't boot earlier with other ROMs.
anyway, congratz
GL
Yeah, it´s weird. I´m returning it back to Cyanogenmod 7+francokernel like it was before the brick. I know what made it: install ClockWorkMod Recovery, so i´ll stay with the old recovery i had.
Greetings!

if you would have just toggled the signature verification off
you would have no problem installing the ROM

Well I dont know how we turn off signature verification. I faced an idential issue using v10E firmware from this link. KDZ update was not able to find the phone in emergency mode. Second time I tried, it did flash the f/w fine.
I got the triangle with an exclamation mark and a droid below. Recovery menu (pressing HOME button) was useless as I could not select any option with any of the hard keys.
This is how I solved it - rebooted once to recovery mode(volumen DOWN + Home), and face a progress bar for a few seconds - rebooted automatically to the LG sign. This time phone booted fine!
Ok so i have a problem where i can access CWM but get error: E: can't mount ***
i can enter download mode but the phone won't show up on the computer, but when i try to start the phone i get to the yellow triangle and it gets stuck there and after a while my computer detects 2 partitions i can't enter.
What i did was: I installed litening rom and it went fine, but i wanted Cyanogenmod instead so i tried installing it but it refused to install, so i was told to install original rom wich i did and in odin it said it went fine, but on restart i got the problem mentioned above, so my question is, is it soft or hard bricked? Can i do something to get "any" rom in and get it working again?
Help would be very much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
if I'm posting here is because I have a big problem:
Here, I used my galaxy ace (I had the low memory icon) when playstore has updated an application, then suddenly all my applications are set to "force stop" including Holo launcher,
so I rebooted, but the I had teh cyanogenmod 7 icon repeat (bootloops)
I cann't access to the recovery mode (I had RAMDUMP mode (ARM9 mode))
I can access to the "downloading" mode so I wanted to flash a stock rom (even three in fact)
with odin multidownload 4.38 but nothing happens when Odin has restarted my phone, I had the little android image that works then a message like:
"E: \ failed to mount storage (invalid argument)"
and the phone started to reboot loop
I've tried dozens of manipulations unsuccessfully kies does not see my phone
I do not know what to do, thank you in advance
Dkpiit
PS: I've tried all the manipulations removing the battery / SIM card and sd waited 5 minutes, I was able to put the phone in Emergency Mode DLOAD but it nothing happens
the only real thing that still works is the "Downloading "mode , but I think my recovery mode was crushed and I cann't access it even when I can flash with odin I always have the problem of "E: \ failed to mount storage" (the same style as him http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335487

Hello, I was trying to reset my tab completely and I wiped EVERYTHING. I have CWM version 6.0.1.0, My tab gets stuck on Samsung logo screen. It can go into recovery but nothing else. I was told that the reason it won't boot is because I deleted the rom and there is no rom for it to go to. When I try to mount it, it doesn't show up...I've tried to install CWM 6.0.4.6 zip from external SD but installation gets aborted. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY TAB BACK ! Also it shows charging when it's turned completely off...

When you say mount it do you mean trying to send the files over through ADB or just mounting the SD card or putting it into download mode?
If its the ADB issue, try to put your tablet into download mode by using the volume key and power button, then download odin and its stock firmware and flash it using odin. Your tablet should restore to factory defaults using that method
If its the SD card then use the method above as it sounds like recovery may have lost it a bit
If you can not put the phone into download mode (which i doubt is the issue you may want to think about a USB jig as they sometimes get past those issues but from your description I doubt its a hard brick as it gets to the logo
2 things you can try!

I really new to this, i mean writing to help people, so don't flock me.
First, you say your device still have the recharging lights on when shut down, it tells me it's not only a software error, but some short circuit has happend.
Have you tried a hardreset? search google for your model if you doesn't know how.
From what i can read you still have the CWM Recovery, so download Android-SDK and try flashing the recovery from ADB (Found in platform tools.
Last but most tricky, if nothing helps, you' have to disassemble your device and temporary disable the battery, them press and hold the start button down for 5 sec to remove the poweroverload, reassemble again and try ASB adain, you can't reinstall the recovery directly from the SD
