I have a SF running on DI01. It is rooted using Z4. I installed Rom Manager and then flashed latest Clockwork Mod Recovery. When I reboot the phone into recovery, and then select update.zip to get into Clockwork, I am met with the following:
E: failed to verify whole-life signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
When I originally got this phone this worked fine. The issues started AFTER I did a factory reset. I did the factory reset because I was unsatisfied how the phoen operated after doing a recovery with Titanium Backup and wanted to start fresh again.
I made sure to delete all traces of every file and folder prior, I even used a brand new formatted SD card and I am still getting this problem. I have been through 2 factory resets trying to get the recovery to work.
Anyone with any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You cant flash clockwork recovery from the phone it has to be pushed in odin then you can flash it in rom manager
The thread is in the development section
Do a little searching around and you ll find all the info you need
Yet another reason not to use z4 root as you learn nothing about your phone
And really it aint hard to do things the" right" way
Actually it sounds like you did read.
My best guess is you went wrong when you installed the SD card and have the wrong update.zip on it, but it's just as likely you need to prime CWM again in odin. You'll be fine!
I do agree that the guides should give manual roots, not one clicks. The slow way is pretty quick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9443125
I don't think rooting was your issue in this case though. I think you may have missed how clockwork installs and works. It is persisting but not permanent.
In brief, you pave the way with the cwm odin flash, then use rom manager to place a current version of CWM recovery on your SD card in the form of update.zip, then 'install' that every time you need to run CWM.

Soba - Once I repushed from Odin it came back. Scratching my head a little but hey it's back. I used Z4 on this phone because I got caught by Verizon when I manually rooted the first model which went bellyup after having it for a week. I wanted to make sure I could quickly get rid of the root if I needed to go back into the store.
To the other responder, sorry for not being specifically "clear".
I've been tinkering with 6 different phones from this one to two Motos and 3 different HTC's. All the methods are beginning to run together sometimes.
I appreciate the assist and I thank you both.

So I'm getting stuck at the same place. I'm new, so could you explain how to pave the way with Odin? I think I understand the concept, but I'm looking for a detailed list of flashing things (such as the update.zip from cwm) in Odin to my phone.
Thank you for any input!

First, locate your caps lock and TURN IT OFF. Next locate your period key and put them on the end of your sentences. Making sense of your post is giving me a headache.
Now, on your computer you need to disable the "hide file extensions for known file types" option to fix the zip.zip problem. Can't give you exact directions since you didn't say which os you're using.

I have the same problem and I tried to get in through the clorkworkMod adb shell, but the device is not recognized by adb...? When the device boots up it is recognized. with my DINC I could use the shell while in clorkworkmod.
Is it showing as device offline or not showing the device at all. If its offline, through cmd, close adb server, then start it back up, half the time that fixed that problem for me. If its not showing at all, try setting it to HTC Sync i believe was the one i had to do at one point for it to register. I've rooted 4 times using ADB method and each time its been a little different, so i can't narrow down what i'm doing wrong to help you more with the adb, sorry.
Similar Issue
Hi All and thanks to all the cats on here that willfully give their knowledge! I have a Tbolt - Rooted with Revolutionary, stock rom (removed VZ Bloat via Titanium ), but this latest OTA update is not leaving me alone. I try to reject it and magically a few days later I get out of nowhere reboot and then the android exclamation point with a triangle. I use the Clockwork Mod Recovery to wipe data cache and reboot which makes the update manager get upset saying it failed. The error I see in Clockwork is this:
CWM Recovery V5.0.2.1
E: Failed to verify whole file signature
E: Signature Verification Failed
Install Aborted
So how can I get this update (I am assuming it is to fix the HTC fail for new exploit out there) which I think would be a good thing. I am not ready to flash a custom ROM yet so please don't reply saying "Just flash with my favorite ROM"
Thanks ahead of time!
It pushes the update, and if you don't reject within 3 mins, viola, you have a nice new update. If you can still get into recovery, which it sounds you can, install a stock rooted either full or debloated. Thats the updated equivalent to what you have now. Make sure you grab the rooted though. Here is the full rooted (not debloated) http://www.multiupload.com/H06XI7W380
from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312193
I'd probably wipe cache and dalvik cache, but you can probably leave data since you're staying stock.
Thanks for the direction nbdysreal!
So, I have the Samsung Fascinate from Verizon, had this phone when it was new and just found it again and it is much better than my blackberry, or so I thought. I am trying to install ICS build one by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070: - I have been able to install PW but when I am trying to install ICS1.zip (I renamed for simplicity purposes) I get the following errors: E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log and cache/recovery/last_log
I have read enough to know that I needed a class 6 or better SD card so I bought a Class 10 8 GB from Best Buy and gave it another shot. I have mounted and unmounted the SD card multiple times, and when installing it shows:
-- Installing: /sdcard/ICS Build 1.zo[
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing the update...
Installation aborted.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated by those with positive feedback or calling me ignorant and not finding the answer online. Again, thanks in advance.
P.S. Yes, I have installed everything up until step 19 is where it stops working
Hey, i have had this problem as well when installing ICS. First off i would recommend installing build 6 instead of build 6.1 because build 6.1 actually has more problems that build 6. you can get build 6 from here : http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16630-romicsiml74k-teamhacksungs-ics-port-for-fascinate-build-61-0201/
Now to fix your sd error, you need to use the odin program and flash your phone back to any stock firmware. Here is verizon stock EH03 : http://www.multiupload.com/4LC6JFCSFD I'm sorry it is such a large file, verizon puts a bunch of crap on their firmwares lol As for your sd card, i honestly do not think it makes a difference what class it is. I am using a class 2 16gb sd card and have never ever not been able to get something to work.
Now after that is done, and it has booted to stock verizon firmware, put the phone back into download mode and use the odin program again to flash a cwm recovery kernel. This one should do just fine, if for some reason it doesn't, let me know and i will upload mine and you can have it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1311907538
After you have used odin and flashed a cwm recovery, please power off your phone and hold down the volume up, down, and power keys at the same time till the samsung logo comes on, so you can go into the new recovery kernel that you flashed to it. Once there, go to the option where it says wipe data/factory reset. After that has completed, do the next option that says wipe cache. Once that is all done, you will say "install zip from sd card" and navigate to the .zip
Now here is where you have two options....you can either flash build 1 first and then build 6, or you can skip straight to build 6. Personally i would skip straight to build 6!! It should work just fine as long as you have wiped data and cache. The differences between build 1 and 6 are night and day and you would have to clear data and cache anyway after you had build 1, so you should be able to go strait to build 6. Other people i have helped went fine right to build 6
After installing the .zip, navigate to the option that says "reboot system now". if you encounter a boot loop that constantly goes into the cwm recovery, let me know! I have dealt with that first hand! let me know if you have questions
Also i recommend using the magnifying glass capacitive search key to make your selections when in cwm, because for some reason i feel using the power key was partly the reason i encountered the cwm boot loop
So you odined back to stock and then tried flashing build 1 in cwm4 fixed for mtd?

Build 6 link is dead...and for most flashing build 1 or 2 first is the only way ics build 6 will install. Also many folks have had trouble with class 2 sd cards...your not doing anything special more so just lucky its working for you.

That link does not work for me just FYI. I am currently back to stock (it's what I do when I can't get it to work because I am not to big of a powerwash fan. I have cwm4 to cm7. I believe it is 4.0.1. But I will search for the latest cwm recovery and put it on and see if that fixes any issues. I also saw somewhere a few days back that people format their SD cards on their PC but I do not remember what format so if that is completely irrelevant since the SD card is brand new (Almost 12 hours old) let me know. I will keep you posted and see it works.
New link to build 6 : http://www.mediafire.com/?sjn6x76c48me9su
So if going right to build 6 didn't work, then you would just have to give it another try, but installing build 1 or 2 first. No big deal, however I do know people who have had it work just fine.
I never said i was doing anything special because i had a class 2 sd card. I simply find it hard to believe that the sd card would have that much of a bearing on whether or not you can install a rom on a phone. I realize some roms partition the sd card the way it wants it, but in the end, the rom is flashed onto the actual phone itself, not the sd card. I know what the difference is between different classes of sd cards so you don't have to explain.

Then, I click, PDA, go to ..../Downloads and find the cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar file and populate that portion of odin and put alas.2.2.pit in the pit section with the re-partition clicked. After completed, I go to odin, hit reset while the phone is still connected and then disconnect the phone. I put the battery in the back, press vol +/- and power and hold that until I see Samsung (which I don't see so I hold it for about 45 seconds to a minute and it boots it CWMR 4.0.1.0) and start trying to clear stuff and that is when I get the errors. So what I have done this time, is formatted the SD card in the recovery menu which I saw was not suggested, and I am going to try to just do a fresh install and maybe it was in the wrong format, who knows.
Ok, turn your phone off, remove the memory card, and flash this kernel instead : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32493357/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5
Then put the memory card back in and boot to recovery

Actually i have never put a pit file into odin. When ever i went back to stock i just did the stock .tar.md5 file and it worked fine. I am not sure what the pit file is used for so maybe i would not use that. Let me know if that voodoo recovery got rid of that error
So the good news first, not putting PIT on their got rid of the errors of mounting and whatnot. Bad news is...

That is the same for Voodoo Lagfix and cwm4.
Now when I tried just the Build 6, it is constantly going to "Samsung" over, and over, and over again.
Ok good you are making progress lol. So you did try it with build 1 initially and it didnt work? Thats strange because it usually does.
So have you gone completely stock without the pit file, loaded a cwm kernel, and then wiped data and cache and still no luck?
There are two different versions of ICS for the fasciante, one by alphalulz and the much better builds from teamhacksung. No matter what i tried and it didnt work on my device (before i eventually figured it out) , alphalulz's ICS V2 always would load on my device. It also loaded its own custom kernel as well, so when it installed, i would let it boot up to confirm the V2 version was working, and then i would clear all data and cache in the new kernel it gave you, and then would switch over to teamhacksungs builds.
here is the link to download the V2 rom : http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9687-rom-aosp-ics-extreme-alphalulz-v2-1118/
Oh. My. Goodness. We have a good sign that this beast is going to work with Teamhacksung's versions... I don't really know what I did, I went back to stock with the pit file, downloaded build 1 while this was processing, and booted it up after it was finished. Then from there, I put that file, original name on my SD card and turned off my phone. Pulled the battery and odin'd cwm4 to cm7 and unplugged. Put the SD card in, booted to recovery, wiped the appropriate files, clicked install zip from SD card, picked the original name, and BAM!, it worked. So now I am going to try to put on build 6 and will edit this post to let you know if it worked or not. I am so happy I could literally jump up and down screaming like a little girl.
----EDIT----
Well, that failed miserably. Stuck on Samsung screen now. So, I guess back to step one.

Hey your getting closer...you will get it dont worry lol
so you just had build 1 working right?? go from build 1 to build 5 (being sure to clear data and cache) and then from build 5 to 6, ONLY clearing cache. Going from build 5 to 6 does not require a data reset.

Now download ROM manager and do a backup so you can revert back to that state in case something goes wrong! I do backups about once a week
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I installed FA16 (2012/1/16): ODIN CWM that was listed on the first page of the developement forum. There were no issues - only took a few minutes. Afterwards - nothing seems to have changed on my phone. the firmware is still 2.3.5, the kernel is still 2.6.35.7 and the build number is sch-i500-eh03. Have I missed something? The phone seems to be working OK. Note: I installed CWM from the ZIp file after I put it on the SD card in the root directory. Thanks for your help
No you haven't missed anything - you flashed a new recovery kernel. Do you know what the purpose of the recovery kernel is? The recovery does not effect your 2.3.5 operating system, the cwm recovery allows you to boot to it (by powering the phone completely down, and then holding the up volume, down volume, and power button simultaneously) and then you will be presented with a menu to install a custom rom such as the new android 4.0 or the cm7 cyanogen mod etc...so its pretty cool
Thanks for 'learning me'. Anyway, before i started playing with my Fascinate today, I had ver 2.2.1 installed - worked fine. After all the changes, I lost the Google search box on the home page - is there anyway I can get that back? I have the icon - just like the search box better. Thanks
Well what all changes did you do other than installing a recovery? Did you flash any files?
And you have 2.3.5 now right, so how did you get it. Did you do a Verizon over-the-air update or did you flash that file as well. I am just confused as to what you did because technically if all you did was install a recovery, it wouldn't mess with you Google search
kardin - recoveries and kernels are 2 completely different things. You keep saying CWM recovery kernel, but that doesn't make any sense. I'm not saying you don't understand what a kernel or recovery is, but they're not the same thing and I think you might confuse people when you say recovery kernel.
I was running The Unofficial rom and liked it. AT&T pushed out the new ICS rom and I wanted to try it. I installed it the way AT&T recommended and got that working. I decided I didn't like that and wanted to go back to The Unofficial. Only problem was, the phone was no longer rooted. I tried to go back and root it, but it didn't work. Now it's stuck on the "Samsung" screen and won't do anything. When using CWM, it won't let me load anything from the SD card. Says SD card is not installed. HELP!!!
Put it in download mode, open odin 1.85 on computer, flash the cwm .tar file on it. Go back into recovery and try to see if it can read your sd card. If all else fails, get into download mode on your phone and do the emergency recovery on Kies.

I've tried so many different things in the last couple of days that I honestly don't know what all I have tried or not.
As for the emergency recovery, how do I do that? I saw something in KIES about that, but it was asking for some code that I don't have. And do you have a link to the CWM.tar?
Also, I had several ROM's installed on my SD card in the phone, but it won't show any of them when I boot the phone using the "both volume and power button" method. It also won't let me load any of my backups that I had on the SD card. It's almost like the SD card isn't being recognized now or something, although I can connect the phone to my PC laptop and get to all those files through file explorer on the PC. And yes, I'm new and don't have a great grasp on what I am doing. Thanks for the help though!
What I have working right now
Okay, here is the only thing I could find on here that I could actually get loaded to make the phone functional again:
SGH-I717UCLD2-1FB30D08F1D2B2AAAECF49D262E8E707 (from briefmobile.com)
I have it working on the phone, but I have yet to be able to install anything else. When I boot the phone into recovery (volume up+ volume down+ power), it won't give me an option to install from SD card. However I can go to "install update from external storage" and it shows the files on my SD card. If I try to select a .zip file to install a ROM, it says --install SD card ...
I don't know what is going on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As for the KIES thing, when I try to update through there, it says I can't update my phone- I'm guessing because I have the wrong baseband version?
You don't have cwm...that is stock recovery.
here is a link to cwm touch, just click anywhere here and grab the Odin version
Once you flash that with Odin, then you should be able to fluah any zip you have.
I finally got it working.
Hey. I appreciate your guys' help but I never could get one of those methods working. Just in case anyone else had the same problem as me, here is where I found the solution that worked for my specific case. It worked the first time and is explained simply enough that even a beginner can figure it out.
