[Q] Rom Manager- Not able to verify whole-file signature

Hey guys,
I am pretty new with the android OS but I am trying my hardest to read up on it and wrap my head around it. so please bear with me.
I have a verizon fascinate that was purchased a week ago and I rooted it.
I have the Rom Manager installed and the OS is running smoothly. I was going to install a custom Rom on my phone but when I tried to back up the current Rom using the Rom manager. it will boot into the Android system recover (2e) and this is what shows up on my phone:
-- Install from Package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:faield to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
with that massage I dont think that I have my current Rom backed up any where...
does any one know how I can get passed this step?
I dont have much knowledge about the android operating system so if some one can help me out with this it would be freaking awesome!
---
I have not installed anything crazy, Rooted with the One click root. and Used the Titanium back up software.

You have to flash the Clockwork kernel/recovery onto it to run the update.zip that activates the backup stuff. See here.
MAKE SURE YOU FLASH INTO THE "PDA" SECTION OF ODIN AND NOT THE "PHONE" PART. "Phone" will brick your device.

Works perfect now!
Thank you very much!

i'm having the same problem, but i've already flashed clockwork? did i miss something?

fail fail

Which version of cwm are you using, and what are you trying to flash?

I suppose CWM blocks any OTA updates, I've tried download the update twice only to get those message on CWM.
Try download the update via Kies, I just successfully did it.
However the update size it's a lot bigger than 250MB and you're gonna lose your root privileges.

Please read the forum guidelines about searching before posting, as it is completely evident that you did not.
Then, search for "Status 7" and read every one of those threads from start to finish.
As you have just discovered, the OTA updates are not guaranteed to work on rooted phones.
If you search and read you will find plenty of suggestions.
When you have finished that, come back here and apologize for starting yet another thread about an issue which is substantially identical to dozens of other threads.
good luck

[Q] How to install new small security patch on JB 4.3

I have rooted my Nexus 4 with Tool Kit and flashed it with stock 4.3 image. Few days later came new small security patch for 4.3. Now every few days I get the notification on my phone but when I try to let it install, it does not get installed.
Here is phone info:
Android version: 4.3
Build number: JWR66V
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-gf43c3d9
I will appreciate your help. Is this update available as a zip file on the forum? if it is, then I can side load it on my rooted phone.

I will appreciate any help.

I have this too
If it helps, I have to problem too.
I have rooted my phone and installed ClockworkMod Recover v6.0.2.3 but have not installed any custom ROM or other changes (that I know of).
I periodically get a messge an update has been downloaded, but when I attempt to install it, ClockworkMod informs me:
Code:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Since I don't know what it is, I abort the install, but I can't tell what is happening. I would also appreciate any help.
Regards,
Bret

Yes, I have also installed ClockworkMod Recover v6.0.2.3 and running stock ROM as well. . If this update is available as a zip file then we can install it. It should not be just two of us having this issue. Everyone who rooted phone should have same issue.

[Q] I9505G OTA Upgrade Fails

I rooted my I9505G running 4.4.2 bit did not replace the boot loader or the ROM. I just installed Supet-SU.
I've had two 4.4.3 OTA downloads but they fail an assert for build.prop. I've checked \system\build.prop and it if unaltered and contains the string the assert is linking for.
Do I need to unroot before upgrading? I just assumed that I would have to reroot after upgrading. I didn't expect a fail as I haven't altered the boot loader.

Yes you'll need to flash original FireWire with Odin but before proceeding with the flash run triangle away it should be ok then

FireWire? What's that? I don't think I flashed anything like that.

That page has some problems. Power+VolUp is needed to boot into recovery, not Power+VolDown. I can get into recovery and select install from external memory. I copied the update onto my sdcard but it still fails with the same assert fail
Verifying update package...
assert failed: get.prop("ro.product.device")== "jgedlte" || [...]
checking \system\build.prop I see the line
ro.product.device=jgedlte
as clear as day.

It's not my problem if you don't know read.

I followed Method 2. I see what you're saying now.

None of these upgrade methods worked. I still had assert failures. I removed SuperSU after restoring all changes I made to /etc.
Somehow this morning the phone failed to connect to data services. Several apps failed when they tried to access the network.
I eventually reflashed a 4.4.3 rooted image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772043 and restored my Titanium Backup.

OTA upgrade to 4.4.4 succeeded after turning of SuperSU and reverting my change to \etc\permissions
