Gentlemen.

I am trying to root my wifes phone in order to install a custom rom,

I thought I had managed to do this using odin (all went well)

however upon trying to install the (UPDATE-SuperSU-v 1.25) zip file I put on the phones external sd
I get the message E: Failed to verify whole-file signature E: signature verification failed.

I am at a loss at the moment what to do next.

MODEL GT-I8190N

well,as above is all I have on the phone,as I said I ran odin and that was fine (UPDATE-SuperSU-v 1.25) was put on the sd card 1st.

as for recovery I guess it was what was on phone already,just pressed power/vol/home and tried to install (UPDATE-SuperSU-v 1.25) but had the errors above
also tried cwm on sd card but that was the same when trying to install.

I appreciate you getting back to me on this.
regards,Harry

Ok now try this: go to novafusion.pl dowload twrp recovery for s3mini of course, install with Odin, the reboot in recovery power+home+vol+, go to settings and flag no zip signature. Try to install and let me know!!!
