Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 (LTE).
Under bad circumstances I locked my phone and forgot the password. Now I am trying to unlock the phone without factory resetting it vie Aroma File Manager. However, when trying to flash Aroma it gives me an error for "signature varification failed" and "footer is wrong". To bypass the signature verification failure I tried to install CWM and TWRP via Odin. In Odin it gives me a PASS and reboots the phone, however when I reboot it into recovery it gives me the stock recovery (3e).
I have tried numerous things like :
1. different versions of Odin
2. different versions of Aroma
3. Different versions of CWM TWRP
4. Unticking Auto reboot in Odin and manually rebooting the phone by removing the battery
Nothing seems to be working - I always end up in the stock recovery mode.
May you please help me with this issue and advise me what can I do?
(I appologies if I do not use appropriate terms but I am a noobie and am just getting to know about recovery modes etc)
Thank you in advance!!!!!

I have this problem in my SGS2.
I root it then downloaded ROM Manager pressed the Flash CWN recovery, chose the SGS2 option and then it automatically download CWN 4.0.1.5, then, after doing that, every time I try to reboot into Recovery it show my the signature fail error.
I got 2.3.3.
I have exactly the same problem and i didn't find a fix until now.
I assume:
1. full factory default (if not, installing the original ROM)
2. rooting
3. install rom manager + recovery
will fix it but i'm too lazy to reinstall everything again.
Same problem here, please someone help

Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.
Hi I have tried to flash CM 12.1 to my S3 mini, so i downloaded ROM, did backup (but it went wrong, i think it didnt fully back up) and wipe cache, data and davik. After that i wanted to flash my ROM, but error appeared, that Installation aborted. So I tried to restore backup but it said "MD5 mismatch" and if I try to reboot It goes to recovery mode everytime. I read that flashing rom can be aborted because of old CMW ( I have v6.0.2.7 ) and if you get the newest, installation is ok, but what can I do? I cannot go to normal boot to Android and if I connect my phone to PC it reacts, but as unknown device and I cant open storage of my phone, so I cant update CMW recovery to flash my ROM.
EDIT: Now i get into ADB and sideload, everything going well but when I tried to install rom it said * failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Invalid argument' *
*Bump* i have the same problem..... not getting any where with this can some one help me out ....
SOLVED! I flashed stock official samsung ROM throught ODIN and after I used TWRP recovery instead of CWM and flashed CM 12.1 .
Hello, I desperately need help updating my Samsung S3 Mini GT-i8190 - I have followed all the steps, the phone is rooted, I have CWM installed - Odin won't read my phone (have original cable) I installed Android Toolkit and still cannot install zip files:- I keep getting an error message when the files run. Running in download from sd card - invalid signature
Running on Toolkit - aosp5.0_golden.nova.20141106.zip "failed to write data protocol fault(couldn't read status): Invalid argument
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi!
I can't boot my device. When I try to turn it on always appears the following message: "custom binary blocked by frp". So I'm trying to flash a stock rom to recover my phone. But the problem is that I didn't install a custom recovery and Odin don't recognize my device plugged and in download mode. So I think that my last chance is to flash a stock rom from the stock recovery (the default recovery) but when I tried to do so I always found the same error: "E: footer is wrong E: signature verification failed". That error is caused because the rom I'm trying to installs maybe?
If anyone could help me I will preciate it so much,
Any help will be usefull,
Thanks
Sorry about that post
The problem is already solved (I flashed a stock rom using odin) I'm sorry about that post. I don't know how to erase it.
Hey.
I tried to install Twrp on my sm-j250y using a sm-j250f-twrp file(Yes, I know i´m a idiot). But the recovery didnt work. When I try to boot normally, it only gets to the bootlogo and reboots. If I try to boot into recovery, I get into a buggy twrp recovery that resets every time I reboot. I can boot to the bootloader normally.
After I noticed these things, I downloaded the sm-j250y stock rom from a2zrom.com/sm-j250y.
When I try to flash the firmware using odin, I get a FAIL! Message and on the bootloader screen I get the error message:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
I also tried to use samsung tool pro, but sm-j250y doesnt appear on the device list, only sm-j200x.
What do ?
Btw is it possible to flash a sm-j250f rom on my phone?
sorry for my bad english.
