Nexus One Solution"failed to verify whole-file signature"when updating to gingerbread
Important Notice :
Do this at YOUR OWN RISK, I don't give any guaranty if something happened to your phone , also store all of your data and memorize all of your previous apps
Hi Guys,
I had this problem and it made me mad cause i was so exited to run gingerbread on my Nexus one(THIS SOLUTION WORKS FOR UNROOTED DEVICES)
PLEASE BACKUP FIRST CAUSE NOT ALL THE DATA WILL BE RESTORED USING YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT .... SO PLZ BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANY STEPS
The solution of this problem is long but it is worth it and it is totally safe:
"Through the steps to know the current version you are at : just go to settings ===> about phone "
First Step:
You will have to go to the stock rom(without any google updates) using passimg.zip
Code:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb
[email protected] #1
Build Number: FRG33
After You finish this step the mobile is like the new one from the factory, It will ask you to provide the gmail account but don't do it this time just skip it , you will enter it once at last when gingerbread is on your device
Second Step:
after that you will update (using update.zip method) using the second link rename the file 656099b119f8.signed-passion-ota-102588.656099b1.zip to update.zip (thanks to efrant)
After the gingerbread update , it is recommend to do a factory reset : setting ==> Privacy ==> Factory Reset
When the device restarts just enter your google account and all your apps should be restored ( you will find a notification telling you x applications restored )
Et Voila it is done
Code:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-59423-g08607d74
[email protected] #1
Build Number: GRI40

what exactly happened??
does it show ( " checking passimg.zip")
you should download the first link ... then rename the file to passimg.zip
turn off the device and open it using vol down + power button
and leave it for a while in the Hboot menu it will automatically load the passimg.zip file ... you will see it checking and loading it ... after that you will get the question about do u want to update? then you will press the vol up button

I have same problem. In my opinion problem is with special kernel from Vodafone. See it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933126
After many hours fighting with my N1 I give up and unlocked bootloader. After that I make update using fastboot without any problem. Now I have 2.3.3

The new Passimg did the trick!
Automatically updated the passimg.
Reboot
updated the update.zip.
Now running 2.3!
From branded dutch vodafone to 2.3!!
Many thnx!

ok seems that the link of the passimg isn't good
i will re-upload the file again and i will provide the new link

LOLz.
The file I uploaded was the same zip. I just renamed it to passimg.zip before uploading (because that seems to be a common failing point)... xD

What I would like to know is what the common denominator is on all the phones that this does not work. From what I recall, it seems like most of the phones this does not work on are refirbs... wonder what is going on?

To what folder does OTA get downloaded?

i would like to know to which folder the OTA's get automatically downloaded.
you see, i have a stock g2, rooted s-off, i have a custom recovery, bacon bits and all that. however, i never updated my phone with an OTA.. and so for a time now i would get an OTA and keep postponing it.. then it would go away again for good.. until recently it started popping up yet again.
so this morning i decided that i would update. my current build is 1.19.531.1 and the update would take me to 1.22.xxx something build.
so i clicked "restart & install" and it restarted and took me to recovery (i have clockwork recovery). but it didnt automatically install the update. so i tried doing it manually within recovery and didnt know which folder to point to.
i ended up rebooting and my build version didn't change, but when i go to system updates it says that i'm up to date now.
can anyone help me out with this?
thank you!

There will be a file in your /cache folder.

In the main OTA thread we found the URL, so you can just download it again manually: http://android.clients.google.com/p...MOUS_2.15.531.3-1.22.531.8_release_197463.zip

OTA update file for 3.2, version 8.6.5.9

Not sure what this update includes, but someone here should be able to figure this out, I imagine this will break root, so don't apply just yet =]

Edit: i have confirmed this will not apply to rooted devices.

That file is the US update file, right?

anyone got this flashable for root devices?!
Also at OP can you please update the threads Title and add 8.6.5.9 in it?

the "flashable root" version would be PRIME 1.8.2, thats the closest you'll get. There is no stock + superuser on any ROMs yet.

If your device isn't rooted, go to settings, about tablet, then click firmware update up top, and it will install this update, if your device is rooted this file is useless to you since you need to unroot to apply it until someone mods it for rooted devices. Good luck!

If you rooted you cannot apply this, you need to unroot (head over to the development threads or google "unroot asus transformer xda" then after you have unrooted simply go into settings, about device, then click firmware update and it will apply this update, then simply re-root =] there is currently no way to apply this otherwise to my knowledge

hey
Mine is not rooted but ia still cannot update . What need to be the file name?
Thanks

it is supposed to be in /cache and named the same with the .zip removed, however I don't believe you can place it in that location without root so just update as instructed in the above posts

I need some help. The update popped up for me yesterday, but I was rooted. So I proceeded to follow the steps to unroot my device, and got it all working again. Now I can't get any updates to appear for me. I even tried to manually check for updates, it says none, but I'm still on 8.6.5.6.
Any ideas?

Well that is weird... have you tried rebooting then searching for the update again?
Sorry for the late reply, I have been busy with my other thread, alot of people want to make their devices louder I guess. As far as updating you could also check with the Asus website, they might have the update with instructions.

Well, if you installed this ROM then you should be able to root by this method and then you can install custom recovery.

that method for me as like asking me to make new window 11
the Q, why if i try to install any SD update it say signature failed?

I moved the file to the root directory and did a recovery reboot and it updated from there.. thanks!! Now the option to update is in my settings drawer.

I have X820 Chinese ROM since the day I purchased my phone and haven't touched the ROM since. If I update to the newest India ROM, will I lose all apps and data? Or will it just flash like an update and not affect data and apps?

You can make updating manually over stock recovery or custom recovery. It is very easy work.

But will I lose my apps and data or not?

I don't have tons of experience on this device yet...
but when I installed 16S onto 15S and was ready to loose the work I had already done (installed quite a few apps, not yet tons of data or settings), I didn't lose any app nor data (including Google setup and WLAN hotspots). However the 16S variant couldn't handle German, so most things came out in an odd mixture of English and Chinese.
I changed the language to English and had the Chinese parts translate to English as well, which I considered helpful.
16S is loaded with LeTV specific stuff which is all about pushing chinese LeTV content and which turned out difficult to disable, mostly because I couldn't tell which parts were important (can't read Chinese), so I quickly decided I needed to go back to the original "international" version, which still mixes some English into other European languages.
I didn't actually have a 15S ROM image, so I can't tell if a downgrade works as seamlessly, instead I restored my TWRP recovery.
That deactivated my WLAN, which gave me a couple of horrible moments, but a second restore (perhaps including EFF) got it back and I hesitate to repeat the procedure for a more detailled analysis of what happened to the WLAN.

Good Job..!
Thanks for the Advise :good:
