[Q] E: failed to verify whole-file signature

---

Hi ppl, i know you probobly heard / read this question / problem
like 100 times, but ive been searching and testing 2 days in a row without any luck
and i think that something is Wrong with my root, even though i tried all kinda things.

I have tried Rom manager and CWM and recovery.

But like the topic says i cant flash a new rom to my phone, i just getting the msg
"failed to verify whole-file signature"

From the start when i rooted i used this file to get root: GT-I9100_Kernel_Gingerbread-supercurio-3.tar

Nothing worked so i tried to flash this file: GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI8_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI4

and root with this file: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI8-v4.3-CWM4

Still nothing works.

Yeah anyways my phone looks like this now.

Flash the zImage of your Root kernel via CWM with the option Flash Kernel.

You could try holding the home button and power button together, whilst booting into CWM recovery.
I had this issue whilst doing mine, I would download the ROM from ROM manager, then when I selected install from SD card I choose wipe cache and dalvaik it would reboot straight into Samsung recovery instead of CWM recovery.
So i repeated the process and as the phone turned off and pressed and held Power and Home button, when Samsung screen comes on wait several seconds and then let go, you will then see CWM install screen and it will then install the ROM.

Hope this helps

I did what you said and now its working, so easy.. thanks alot.
