[Q] Problems with s3 android root (rolling boot screen) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, May i first apologise if i have posted in the wrong forum and as any mods to move my post to the correct part
I have a i9300 s3 that I rooted with odin and CF-Auto-Root what worked great until today when i decided to reset my phone back to factory settings. once i done this it worked and started up. I then had a notification to update my software. I downloaded and it went to reboot. Now im stuck with the samsung boot screen and blue swirl.
I Decided to read some of xda and someone said to use odin again and re root, The worked and said ok.
Rebooted the phone and it gets stuck again.
I downloaded a rom called cm-10.2-20131110-UNOFFICIAL-i9300-V73 thinking i could install that to correct the problem. When i do this i get
Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Im Stuck...
Any help or links would be great
Thank you in advance

System recovery error. Need help

I was trying to flash a cwr and a new rom. I did the manual boot by holding the up and down volumes while powering on the device. I try to run update.zip and an error.
Im in "Android system recovery <2e>"
and I get :
#manual mode#
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What do I do to fix this issue?? Any help would be great
IIRC when I had that happen I had to Odin the cwm then run update.zip

ive never used odin...kinda new to this stuff. just trying to get a good froyo rom with voodoo lagfix... but ya im not certain of how to load this stuff
Doesnt seem like you installed CWM properly. Check the sticky threads in the general section as they do have guides to install it.
Also use the general or Q/A section for questions.
If all you want is voodoo'd froyo, and you have managed to bjork your phone... Just search this forum for teeharding's eb01 odin post. It links to another thread with odin tar for superclean with instructions. Just deRAR with 7zip, flash, and done.
You will need to get odin running either way at this point, so you might as well choose the easiest route.

[Q] Nexus S 2.3.6 OTA rebooted to exclamation mark

Received 2.3.6 OTA on my nexus s which was unlocked and rooted but on stock recovery (init script was not modified so recovery restored).
On reboot triangle with exclamation inside was shown (been there for 30 minutes now).
Any tips? Should I switch on/off and see what happens? Pull battery?
Sounds like you're in stock recovery mode. Just reboot and see what happens (it should boot normally).
Had to pull battery to get it to reboot.
A few days later I've received another OTA update, and the exact same thing happened again. Also had to pull battery.
Is there anything I need to do in order to receive OTA updates while rooted but on stock recovery?
That happens automatically. What I would suggest, is that you install the update manually. See here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...or-nexus-s-available-wi-fi-and-tethering-fix/ .
Thanks; instructions mention it should not be done on rooted devices. Is that correct? (I'm on stock recovery, but rooted)

See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062 . Remember, you will lose root if you do this. You would need to re-root to get it back.
Tried manually by downloading both the update GRJ22 (2.3.4) - > GRK39F (2.3.6) and the full GRK39F.
In both cases, from CW recovery I get a signature error. Log shows:
Verifying update package...

I:verify_file returned 1

Any clues?

Thanks dor what lol i need sone help lol
when you say your phone is rooted, has it put super user on it?
if you're struggling with this then i think you'll find re-rooting with a cf-root file will be far easier for you, go in to settings and about phone and look at your baseband, it should say something like i9100xwkdd, if thats the version you are on then you need to download the corresponding cf-root, although id recommend updating the firmware to xxki3 first then cf-root with appropriate file, chainfire has a thread just for these.
Ok i check the base ban as u said and its i9100mugkg2 how do i re root it to the base ban u recomended? Where do i find the file? And yes i have the super user app
i've been doing some research as ive never seen ugkg2 before, this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16085735 explains a little about it
---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
im not sure how other people would do it, but personally id use odin v1.85 to flash xxki3, found here http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html
i would then use the cf-root for that version made by chainfire found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=732531&d=1317117018
this will root and put clockworkmodrecovery on it, once youve done these steps you can download any custom rom zip file, place it in the root of the sd card and flash
---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
i've been using a rom from androidmeda and haven't had any issues i think its the best one i've used, but are all down to user preference, are you familiar with flashing a rom with odin?
No im not this is a brand new phone and am just trying to learn the ropes. i happen to follow some instructions i found onlne it seemed to root my phone fine but now i cant fet in to clockwork recovery. so u say unroot my phone and re root it with the instructions u posted?

Look at the files on your SD card. Is there an update package that you might have downloaded previously?
Ok i went and looked and found an update.zip and del it but when i go back to rom manager and press flash ckockwork recover it puts it back there
ok so i downloaded that files u said i found the password. then i reloaded it on the phone useing odion 1.85 useing the 4 files that where there rebotted my phone. it was un rooted. so i searched the web for the root file for the xxki3 files i just loaded and rooted my phone i have super user and cwr apps added. then i downloaded again rom manager premium flashed to clockwork recovery and then tryed to download a rom and install but again the phone is trying to get into cwr but its stalls out at the samsung recovery saying this message again]

Can some instruct me in how to flash to a cool rom rom manage is not working out for me
hello any one out there?
I have the same problem as you, i delete the update.zip but it comes back. I dont know what the problem is
I cant get to recovery
ya i even went as far as to download the rom direct from the CyanogenMod 7 website the latest nightly load it to the internal memory of the phone restart the phone into clock work recovery with out using rom manager then wipe the cash and partition and all the other options and then install the zip from the sd card option it runs the zip file installs but when the phone restarts it wont load back the Samsung home screen then i have to put the phone back into download mode and use Odin to load the files that work to get my phone working again. as well i try to load the zip file i downloaded into odin and there is no tar file so i cant do that option ether.
does any have a fix for this problem or wa apparently im not the only one with this issue
can some one answer this for me i am running android 2.3.5 baseband i9100xxki3
i wanna flash to a new rom liteing rom its android 2.3.4 base band xxkh3 can i switch like that or do i have to stay with roms that have the xxki3 base band?
would this be y i cant flash any roms?
On my rom, if i press and hold power and instead of shutoff, if i select "recovery" I get the clockwork recovery. But if i open the clockwork app and hit reboot to recovery i end up with the 3e
ive been told my rom isnt compatible with Rom manager so maybe thats the issue
ya i dont have that option i can get into clock work recovery by shutting off the phone and holding the voulm up button home key and power button i load the rom from installing the zip from sd card but no matter what rom i try the phone wont load
my phone was stock i rooted it useing gf root files not useing odin i can load factory files thats it i try a rom dosent work and i reload the factory rom i cant get any rom to work there is some thing wrong and i herd this was the place to get the answeres but so far no luck
Why is this in the captivate section?

[Q] Samsung Infuse Clockwork Recovery Aborted

Okey been trying to figure this out for days. I rooted my infuse with odin. So i have superuser. Now i am trying to install Clockwork recovery and cant get it to work. i am running on gingerbread.uclb3,firmware 2.3.6. I am using the rom manager and root explorer to install the recovery file into system/bin folder and its not working. I always get this....
installing package....
finding update package....
opening update package....
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole -file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I did everything step by step. One thing that was odd to me is when i placed the recovery file into the system/bin folder, there wasn't a original recovery file there. Does this mean it boots up from a different folder?
i am pretty retarted at this so plz if anybody can explain this because i see many people have problems with the same thing.

Your issue is you lost your custom recovery. That is from stock recovery which will only flash Samsung signed roms.
