Wen I turn the phone on it fails to load anything and then goes into recovery. This all came from when I attempted an OTA for a rom I was on before.
I 'm getting this error.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation Aborted
I re flashed the CF Root using odin but still no luck.
Flash full stock firmware with odin then factory reset.

I'm sorry but i'm not sure what you mean by this. I have Odin but how do you flash a zip file?
Ok scratch what I said earlier its a .MD5 I just thought it was a .zip when it was downloading. I've managed to restore the stock firmware using odin. I gather that this has removed my root?

delete "update.zip" from your sdcard......try using "z4root" or "oclf" from the market to root....it sounds like one click root is not generating a healthy update.zip for you
I am not able to flash Villain ROM 2.3 or anything else. The reason is that when it reboots into recovery mode, it starts with: -
_ Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any idea what's going on, I just recovered my SGS2 from almost being a brick!
Cheers!
It sounds like a corrupted file. Your download might not have completed or you are having hardware issues such as faulty ram.
Before updating a ROM, try to checking the MD5 checksum to see if they are correct if the chef provides it.
Go into your recovery and press the Choose zip to flash option, there you can select 'turn off signature verification, now you can happily flash.
Sorted!
Thanks God I got it sorted...thanks for the help of some guys in VillainROM thread.
Actually, what happened was that after flashing Chainfire's kernel, to get rid of the Yellow triangle, I was supposed to flash the Samsung stock kernel. That's what I did. BUT, after that you had to further extract the same CHAINFIRE's kernel, NOT the stock kernel to its zImage and had to put it on the root of the internal sd_card.
But, unfortunately, I being, careless extracted Samsung's stock kernel to its zImage and copied that to the sd_card. Now after flashing Samsung's stock kernel to remove the yellow triangle, it's important to flash the ChainFire's kernel's zImage so that it could again ROOT, install busy box and add CWM on the phone.
So, guys if you still having the same problem, remove the zImage you already have on your sd_card and replace it with the 1 from ChainFire's kernel and it will sort your problem and you will be able to see CWM again with FULL options.
Chillaxxxx!
hey i have copied the zimage to my sd card, but in android 3e recovery i cannot flash it .. i only see apply update zip option. but i cant select the zImage file please!!
In CWM, Flash kernel and select the zImage.zip, phone will reboot, done.

I have the same problem, does anyone has a solution for that. All I want to do is backup the ROM via ROM manager and I couldn't bypass the signature verification. I am also rooted via superoneclick and odin 1.85.
waiting for a response.
Thanks in advance.

Backup works via CWM and root .
Rom manager not working mostly on SGS2 .
Root + CWM .

The backup option isn't available when I boot into CWM Recovery mode. I also happen to get the error message:
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
I'm booting into recovery mode from the CWM app. I've searched everywhere...lots of questions but no solutions.
This is a common problem that happens if you try to install CWM from ROM Manager. If this is the case, please read up on how to install CWM in the General Section.
If not, please include Kernel / ROM you are running.
Just install a different kernel. Reboot into recovery again. Profit.

Hi,
I have previously tried to flash a wrong kernel into my phone and caused the imei to become null and my s3 to lose all signal.
In my desperation, i have tried all sorts of different roms in imei retrieval methods but I was not able to get anything back.
I managed to get my imei back after pas a technician to do that for me.
However, ever since, when i went to the setting > update, there was update found but when i tried to install, it brings me error msg that 'signature verification failed'.
i get the following error msg.
assert failed: getprop('ro.product.device') == 'm0' || getprop('ro.product.device') == 'm0'
E:Error in /cache/fota/update.zip
(status 7)
When i reboot, i get the error msg 'Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a samsung service centre'
The current firmware version that is written on Kies is I9300ZSALF1/I9300OZSALF1/I9300XXLEF/I9300ZSALF1 (XXX)
I tried kies but kies says my device does not support software upgrading via kies.
I am not able to flash any rom into the phone, i tried stock roms and i tried custom roms like CM9 and 10.
I have tried using both ODIN and CWM to flash and always end up with having a phone that hanged during the bootloading phase. i restart and it stills brick, all i could do is to reboot in CWM and restore backup
Please help me because i am currently on ICS I9300XXLEF and it is not my stock ROM and there is no way for me to update the phone rom. I would like to get my phone back to a stock ROM that is Singapore based at least i can continue to update my firmware if there are any updates.
I am giving all the information about my phone as much as I can but if there is anymore information you folks need to now to be able to help me, please let me.
All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Need to flash a stock rom via ODIN in download mode. Plenty of tuts on here for that as well as a tut to redo your imei. Do you have a backup of your efs?? Thats where your imei is stored, if you have that just go into CWM and restore backup and sorted.
Did you do a factory reset from recovery after flashing with Odin?
From what you are writing it seems you are able to flash using Odin, so I suggest finding Odin image for uour phone stock firmware, flash using Odin (vol down+home+power) then reboot to recovery (vol up+home+power) and do a factory reset, reboot and I think it will boot.
I would boot to CWM recovery Mounts and Storage Format cache system and data .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
assert failed: getprop('ro.product.device')
means wrong firmware or wrong phone or wrong build prop on phone .

Hi....first of all got you an EFS folder backup? If yes try restore EFS ( copy folder with root expplorer..i do this with s2 and got my IMEI back)
second : try an hard reset with this code *2767*3855# ( remove sim and sd card)
and try to flash a stock firmware in download mode with ODIN procedure.
Hope its helpful:good:
hi all,
its me again,
i have tried auto update, reflashing the same rom, reflashing an updated rom, flashing jelly bean, hard reset, soft reset and everything else recommended.
But it still does not work, it generally is a signature verification error. how do i get the signature back?

If you are rooted try editing the build prop. to the correct one as the error message is saying it can't get ro.product.device

Usual causes are out of date recovery, bad download or corrupt data/system.
