Hi Guys,
I need some help guiding me through the Lollipop rom install on my GT-I9300T
So the phone has been rooted already using Odin and was successful.
I have then downloaded the rom and google apps and super su, but at the time of update it is coming up with
E: failed to verify whole- file signature.
ok so this is where I need someone to tell me exactly the rom I need,and any kernel update or whatnot I need to get a lollipop rom onto my phone.
phone also has current firmware update from kies
Android version 4.3
Thank you for reading and hope someone can shed some light
@paulyhg: if you say 'update', you're probably in stock-recovery, which is unable to flash a custom-ROM. Flash 1st TWRP-recovery with Odin.
or fllash cwm via odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2052830&d=1371584952

Hello everyone:
I am having some issue trying to install a custom rom (VillanRom 3.0) on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I am a beginner so I apologize in advance if what I am asking seemes a bit noobish.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 is already rooted I believe running Gingerbread 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXK17
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
[email protected] #2
I booted into Rom Manager and did Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. And then I chose Samsung GalaxyS2.
I have already put the custom rom onto the SD card. I tried booting into the Android system recovery <3e>, I wiped factory setting and cache, and after that there is no option to 'install zip from SD card'. So I attempted to enter the option "apply update from sdcard" and I get this error:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Am I missing something here? Please any help would be appreciated I'm not very good at the technical stuff. Thank you so much.
Sorry to bump this. I'm desperate. Any help please would be extremely appreciated!! x

Are you sure your phone is rooted and the fw is k17?
Anyway follow this thread to root your phone and then flash the custom rom you want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Hello siberian tiger:
Thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate it.
I'm pretty sure my phone is rooted because it has a triangle everytime I start up my phone. How do I know if my fw is k17?
Is there different types of root? If my phone is currently rooted can I just follow the procedure in that thread you linked and just overide my current root without unrooting my phone?
Thanks
I believe I know where it went wrong. Most kernels do not support rom manager. If you are a beginner you probably used the cf-root method. So read the cf-root thread again you'll see that rom manager is not supported.
Now that you don't see the install zip from sdcard option that means you don't have clockwork recovery installed anymore. Download the CWM app (in the cf-root thread) and the cf-root kernel in tar format. Use the flash kernel option to flash the tar file. Then you'll get clock work recovery back.
If this doesn't work, the for-sure-will-work option is to use odin to reflash the cf-root kernel.

Hello Guys. First off i must say im very confused! I'm not very tech savy when it comes to rooting phones and such. So please when you reply could you make it as simple as possible. thanks
Okay so my phone is currently on 4.0.3
BASEBAND I9100XXLPS
BUILD NUMBER IML74K.XWLP4
Now i've tried updating to a later version but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure what im doing incorrectly. I think its odin that you wait for that Yellow light or something but it never goes yellow?
Anyway could you kindly link me to a stable firmware that i should use.
Could you provide any links for odin ( or any other software needed ) just incase there are updates because i haven't used it for a while.
Rooting
I would assume i would root after once i've updated to the new version.
Could you kindly provide a link that explains it pretty easily for me to root the phone.
My end goal is to put CyanogenMod on the phone.
If i've missed anything out or miss understood something, please feel free to explain.
thank you in advance for the help.
First,forget about doing anything until you get Odin sorted out.
You can root and flash roms without using Odin.......but if something goes wrong(like no bootup c/w cant acess recovery) then you are in big trouble because Odin isnt working.
skip the firmware update and jump right for cyanogenmod.
1. Download any version of CWM from here
2. Get desired rom
3. Place everything in Externel SDcard
4. Boot into stock recovery (Power+Home+Vol up)
5. Use stock recovery to flash CWM
6. Backup Current stock rom
7. Wipe the usual
8. Flash Custom rom (Or just kernel)
9. Reboot
10. ?? Profit ??
Now you got Custom rom or Kernel + Full stock rom backup (can always get stock rom from sammobile if you lose it)
Okay so i update the firmware wooo.
Wouldn't i need to root the phone to install cyanogenmod ?
Hello,
I recently made some mistakes with my Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 while following this a tutorial on Galaxys2root.com (Can't link to the precise article because this is my first post) I flashed the CWM recovery tool linked by this website to my device through the latest version of Odin and afterwards my phone would not turn on. I was able to get into the Clockwork recovery mode however but couldnt install anything because I had forgotten to place any ROMS on my device beforehand. To try and resolve the problem I did a factory reset in the recovery mode but this did not effect anything. I am now unsure what to do next. I would still like to root my phone so that I cant get rid of all the bloatware put on it by Orange mobile as well as update my phone to Kitkat(Currently running Android 2.2) Can someone tell me what I have done wrong and what is the next step for me to take?
Thank you for any help that you can offer
the kernel you flashed it is the problem

is this site you are talking about:
http://galaxys2root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery
im guessing that is the problem(Installing CWM/TWRP recovery will most likely break the ROM you are running currently as it overwrites the ROM’s KERNEL).
If iam right,that means you have to flash another kernel,i suggest Siyah kernel 2.6.14 its for gingerbread version(it has CWM recovery and auto-root):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838
after that you can flash the KK rom you want through CWM .
------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP

BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works
hi guys

You don't need root to install a rom on those things. What is the error when installing the custom recovery? Does it flash successfully but once you boot to recovery, it isn't there? If so, it's because you have to make sure to boot to recovery BEFORE you allow it to boot to the operating system first. The phone has a script built in that checks to see if the recovery has been modded and rewrites the stock one to it. When the phone goes to auto reboot after installing the recovery, hit the button combo to enter recovery immediately, do your backup, then follow installation instructions for the rom you want.
If this is NOT the error you are receiving, please describe it.

I looked into it a bit, and pretty sure I know why you are having issues. This particular model has the recovery built into the kernel, so you actually need a kernel with the recovery part already replaced with a working custom one that is specifically for your firmware. There are 2 methods to install.
Odin: http://d-h.st/me0
Via Update via Zip in stock Recovery (3e): http://d-h.st/FpR
What slot are you trying to install from? It should be the AP slot for Odin 3.09.
If you want to try TWRP, well, it only works with 4.4.2 and comes prebundled in some Kit Kat roms like Omni
