I've tried repeatedly to flash my Epic to another ROM.. I tried w/out wiping first, didn't work. Wiped multiple times.. both cache & data. Turned phone on, one click rooted, one click ClockworkMod.. then I go into Rom Manager. Click "install from SD", it says it needs to reboot into recovery to finish.. THEN I get the red letters saying
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Your in stock recovery. Not actual recovery. You have to get clockworkmod recovery working first

Unless you have a kernel that works with Rom Manager you need to use the volume down camera power on button combo to get into clockworkmod.
Can't use ROM Manager because when it reboots it doesn't go into clockwork. You have to shut the phone off, hold volume down, camera and power on until the phone boots into clockwork. then you can let go and select install from sd or whatever. It's rather obvious at that point.
Ok, honestly the other two posts weren't there when I started mine.

Did you spend any time reading the thread that you downloaded clockwork recovery from? It specifically states what you need to do and why what you are doing doesn't work.
I've tried both ways.. the recovery screen looks the same. I never see anything about an sd card other than "sd card:update.zip". It doesn't let me choose from any of the downloaded roms.

Install clockwork from this post (if you haven't, not through the rom manager)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
then power off your phone, hold the volume down and the camera button (all the way in, not just the first click), then press and hold the power button, holding all of them until it boots into clockwork recovery. If it doesnt work, your not doing something right, so try, try again...

If your phone has downloaded and installed either of the two OTA's that have come out since the phone has been out this is probably why when you use the one click recovery installer that clockworkmod isn't sticking sprint/samsung put in a check that looks to see if your recovery and kernel are stock and it also prevents a recovery from being flashed to the phone.If this is the case there is a file located in /system/etc called install-recovery.sh that needs to be deleted before you can flash clockworkmod.

The samsung check only runs on boot. It does not prevent recovery from being flashed. Furthermore, the one click flasher removes that script.

Well when i tried flashing a recovery after the first OTA it never stuck until this script was removed no matter how many times I flashed YMMV. Your right though I forgot that the one clicker does remove it.
I couldn't get clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 to install either, from he recovery thread, I downloaded 2.5.0.9 and was able to install that and used the update.zip method on the recovery thread to get 2.5.1.0. Somtimes restorng nandroid knocks out 2.5.1.0 andreverts to 2.5.0.9 so I keep the update.zip on sd just in case. Only thing is 2.5.0.9 is move and k is select.
Just change the file number to 2.5.0.9 off the 2.5.1.0 link in the recovery thread to get that file. Good luck

Hey Guys. Im kind of confused about our phone. To what extent do we have this hacked? Is BravoX the only custom ROM we can use, or can we use others? Thanks
Currently that is the only rom out.
Sent from my MB520 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, it looks as if our lone developer, Bandroidx has essentially abandoned us since finishing BravoX.
I understand slowing down work on further ROMs, but there hasn't been any talk, or an update in a long time now.
Hmm. That really sucks. Well, if anyone else needs someone to be their testing dummy, let me know. Im trying all I can to get us 2.3, but im afraid im not going to be much help. But im here, willing to brick my phone if need be in the name of science .

You should be installing it initially in bandroidx's. Did you wipe data and cache? How far does it boot up?
After you install MIUI you have to use the defy recovery (I use the latest, not the stable), though some things might be broken since was made for the defy. You can make backups and restores, but I wouldn't recommend restoring anything until I post something on it.
If you have anymore problems, go over the the thread so others can see. Thanks
Ohhhhh alright, let me try again. I blew out my sd, took my a while to find another but im now using my mom's from her flipout.
How do I get to bandroid's recovery now that 2ndinit is installed? it just boots to BootMenu

In the bootmenu, select recovery. Then select custom recovery. It should boot into bandroidx's.
Note: after you flash the MIUI rom, you have to use the defy recovery.
Alright. This threads kind of off topic already, but I have one more question. When I go into Bootmenu (Installed with Latest 2ndinit)>>Recovery>>Custom Recovery it goes into some Defy Recovery. When I install 2ndinit cwm stable, it goes into some greenish version of custom recovery, but I cant get into bandroidxs. I cant figure out how to get back into Bravo Recovery!

Is this before or after you flashed miui? This is the order it should be:
Install bandroids recovery
Install 2ndinit
Boot into the boot menu
Select recovery> custom recovery. (it should boot into bandroids)
Wipe data/cache
Install miui + lang pack
boot into miui
Now, since you installed miui, when you select custom recovery>latest/stable in the boot menu, it should be the defy recovery. The defy recovery is supposed to come up, it works on the bravo, it is fully functional. Use the defy recovery to flash zips and make backups/restore.
This is all before MIUI. I follow those steps exactly, and I get taken to this screen

what 2ndinit version do you have? Is it the one downloaded from my thread? Because I think I have an older version posted.
does that recovery work. Try backing up and installing miui on that because the defy recovery is working for me.

Hi, i have a galaxy note GT-N7000 which was running the stock GB out of the box. After updating to ICS using Kies, i rooted the phone and installed SU and it worked fine. I then tried to flash Kingdroid ROM v3 onto my phone after which the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" boot screen. It does not even go into the boot animation. I cannot access the recovery however the download mode is still accessible. I even tried flashing a stock ROM using ODIN (GB & ICS ROMS) but the setup keeps hanging at the image....
I believe that it is the eMMC bug which i did not know of before flashing. I need help because i have no clue how to fix it and it would really be a pity as i cannot afford a new phone already. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
OK slow down ,when you flashed it ,did it complete flashing kingdroid from CWM then you manualy rebooted? only to be stuck on samsung logo
or did it hang during CWM flash and rebooted on it's own?
Flash a stock rom with bootloader.
How did you root and flash a custom rom and not stumble accross the hundreds of threads/warnings about the brick/bug?

You skipped the part about being on a safe kernel before flashing Kingdroid. Did you do that or did you use the stock ics kernel to flash kingdroid? You should always read!

when i flashed the kingdroid ROM v3 using CWM touch, everything was fine. The installation completed and then i did a factory reset/wipe and cleared cashe & battery stats & dalvik cashe. After that i rebooted the phone and it never went past the "Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen. I have tried flashing stock ICS & GB ROMs but they all keep hanging up at image.fs. So is my Note indeed hardbricked?

As a last resort try flashing stock gingerbread with bootloaders using ODIN. If that fails you can try partitioning method as suggested by hg42 or take your device to Samsung service center and tell them it bricked while doing factory reset from settings. Motherboard replacement time.

I think it is bricked for good! i have reported this problem to samsung without mentioning that i installed a custom rom. I told them that the error occurred when i upgraded from GB to ICS. However they are going to charge me a good $50-100 to get it fixed for software issue but even more if hardware problem! I really am in no position to pay so much as i purchased the Note only days back. Will this be covered under warranty and will they know tht i had flashed a custom rom?

No it doesn't - it works for a select few people. If your damage is in another area, it won't work. If the damage spreads (it has for some people), it won't work. Many people who did that found their device to be highly unstable afterwards.

You should try to hard reset the device but be careful to emmc bug possibility.
I Fix it,,,,,,
1- Backup all your data....
2- Downlaod "JellyBeanRom ICS v6" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813651&highlight=battery
3- Make a full wipe.
4- Falsh the "JellyBeanRom ICS v6" as Thread steps.
5- After the tab restart and finshing falshng rom, go to bootloader and make "Wipe Battery State"
6- I hope everthing is fine now.
Note: Also if you just Make a full wipe & reinstall stock rom, it's will fix the Battery drain.

Before hard reset you have to flash a safe kernel. If I have understood fine pershoot has told that his kernel is safe.
In order:
- flash cwm from odin
- flash safe kernel from cwm
- wipe data and cache from cwm
ok i will try that and will report back

Ok.... I ll try!!!
Same here wit stock ICS from Tmobile.
This A1 Kernel can be flashed with CWM over my stock ICS or do i need any special rom?
Tab stay "awake" all the time:
Change your ROM
I try before flashing A1 Kernel, but it's not solve the battery drains,,
I think The main cause of the problem is the Rom ver "XXLQ8" - italian ics
Because when I wipe my tab & flash "JellyBeanRom ICS v6" rom, My problem is gone,,,
and really my tab have long life battery now and it's sleep "like a baby".
So I still recommended that me be you try to flash another Ics rom ver.

1-Download a1's kernel found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833136
2-Copy it to your galaxy tab
3-flash it through CWM -> Instal zip from sd card and search for it then choose yes
4-reboot your tab
it should work but if you still have the problem install the newest cwm and make a full wipe then flash JellyBeanICS rom from the android development forum OR flash back to HC 3.2 if you were happy with it
The problem seems to be for me with the italian ics kernel that keeps searching for a sim card even on airplane mode

George, its the first time in my life that i prefer the stock rom over a custom one... i used to have cm9, but it was too buggy for me (screen flickering, sod, etc)...
Ive read a little about the eMMC bricking problem, do i have to worry About it when flashing jellybeanICS? I mean, i would have to do a full wipe before flashing... A1 Kernel does not affect eMMC, since it does not execute the wipe command, am i correct?

Yes your safe if you flashed A1 kernel over your stock ICS but that's not enough , you need to have a safe CWM . Try using the cwm from droidbasement flash it and you should safe now ..
i did install A1 kernel first before wiping and flashing toldos ROM just to be on the safe side ..

I found another solution for this issue in this post:
Finale Solution for Battery Drain issue
Hi, i recently got myself an acer a500 16gb and decided to root it, i successfully rooted it using ics root 2, then i decided to try and install custom bootloader and rom onto it. to which i was successful, i tried a few roms, and after i had installed the 3rd rom, it started to stick on cyanogenmod loadscreen.
the bootloader i was using was skrilax's bootloader v8, and recover was TWRP.
it seemed that no matter what rom i used, it would install successfully, but always fail to get past loading image ( android / CM logo )
I then decided to reflash the bootloader to a different bootloader, this time, i used skrilax's bootloader v6 with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.x (thor2002ro rev1.7) at this point i was successful, so i installed a JB rom with GAPPS, all worked well.
worked perfectly until about after an hour or so of use and a few restarts. the tab crashed, so i turned it off by holding power button, tried to turn back on and well, you guessed it, it wont boot...
i tried to reflash again, but every apx bundle i use it says " exact error "bootloader.bin" access denied.
im annoyed with my tab now, ive been searching through xda dev forums for about 3 weeks now and everything ive tried hasnt helped, and i cant find the answer to my problem, i hope theres someone out there who can help me through this lol.
thanks alot!
Did u do a full wipe of data between each new Rom u flashed?
If u still have the v6 or v8 on there, u could try connecting to yr pc and running fastboot to erase userdata, cache and system partitions. Once u erase system your tab will have no OS, so flash a new rom.
Otherwise, run the babsector file making sure u do the wipes between each .bat file and then flashing a new Rom.
It's good practice to fully wipe data and cache before a new Rom flash, and this should be stated in the Rom install instructions.
The babsector file and fast boot steps can be found in the root guide in my sig.

yeah, i did full data wipe as well as cache and dalvik cache.
at the moment, my tab seems to be stuck in APX mode as i turn it on, no vibrate, screen lights up but stays black and way to get into the bootloader (PWR + VOL - dont work either )
I will have a look now and try with babsector, I just hope i can get it back to a custom rom, if not, back to sock BL and ROM.

what do i do?
Put it in the oven....I joke u not!!! U have a faulty memory chip, which explains yr tab acting weird. The only apparent fix ?? is to reflow the solder around the chip, this seems to have helped a few folks who've tried it. There's a thread round here somewhere, I'll post it if I can find it

So, i have put it in the oven and followed the instructions to the T and it allowed me to flash with skrilax's bootloader v8, ive tried to install one ROM so far ( CM mod Acer A500 unofficial ) and that just gets to the cyanogenmod boot screen and hangs there, im gonna reflash with same bootloader, but a different rom. any suggestions?
Did u do a full wipe b4 flashing the Rom,?? I do know that the first boot does take a long time, did u try a reboot, sometimes that helps with th CM roms, other than that m8, maybe try a different one???

yeah i did full wipes of everything, left it to try boot for 2 hours, nothing... tried different roms, now im back to "APX" mode... what do i do, i jus want it working again
M8 I think youve exhausted all possibilities...there's not a lot u can do with a faulty memory chip other than sourcing a new mother board. EBay is yr only hope...

If you're in 'proper' apx mode I.e. download mode showing on screen...could try running nvflash from there... If yr on black screen with led lite on power off - hold in pwr button for 5 secs till lite goes out. Should be able to pwr on normally now
