So, I was just told that I was -actually- posting my error that I was getting from my Captivate Glide in the wrong area, I was actually posting it in the Captivate area... so... I'm just gonna quote myself here:
Hazarath said:
Ok, so, first off, yes, as I keep being told by the forums I read, I am a noob. I understand, and respect that. That's not the issue.
So, I have followed the guide that's found here, and I have the Clockwork mod installed, as when I turn on my phone, and press down, it says I have it.
I -had- my phone rooted in the past, and then -finally- the official 4.0.4 update came out. I upgraded from my old rooted image to the new image, and figured I'd wait to see if someone would post instructions on how to update this version, unless I am doing something wrong.
I am sure that I am, or I missed something somewhere. Again, I have -no- idea what I am talking about. I don't claim I do.
So... I try to install Superuser-3.2-RC2 -and- RC3-ARM-signed.zip, as I was advised that may work via pressing power+down, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I copied the file over to the root of the SD card, and all that jazz.
So, is someone ready to point out the error in my method, or more likely, tell me I am an idiot?

The only solutions offered on that forum was to try SuperOneclick, and I simply get a pop-up after clicking 'Root', a dialog letting me know I have missing drivers. It asks to allow me to install them, and it just goes 'No data Found'. ..amusing error if I ever saw one! Oh, it's better... it repeats the same thing, and I get no further. The application just locks up, all done.
So, as stated as I quote myself... am I an idiot, or is something borked?

Try to flash ur phone with proper cwm image file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007198
Else, try to install some different ROM, stock is boring
The file signature error generally means a bad download. Try redownloading it. If you don't mind potentially hosing your installed ROM and having to reflash, you could try disabling the signature check.
You did install CWM first, right? IIRC the official ICS update clobbers recovery so you have to reinstall it.
Just a thought, why not flash straight to CM10.1? It comes already rooted.

I followed those steps; it seems that, looking upon my working directory, I already used the recover image provided in the link. So, I already have this tool installed. So, that's that. >.>
I am not against installing a custom ROM, as long as someone here can actually attest to it working! I am a stickler when it comes to operating systems. I don't just go, 'Hey, that looks cool!' *install...* '..wait... it does THAT? Screw that!' *restores stock*

If the file I had was damaged, it likely would not have took the first time I flashed the file when I had a different version of 'droid on it. So, that's likely not it.
Any other ideas?

Here is the update that everyone has been waiting for At the moment, I'm only providing the modem, and rooted, stock, deodexed version of the ROM. There will be a cleaned up version to go along with all of this in due time, but we're currently working out some problems with it. I would like to note that despite this being the Froyo update, it is not without its own set of problems, and odds are you may never see another update outside of this from anywhere. However, the benefits of getting Froyo will outweigh the problems with it for most people, so have at it.
You will need a few things to get this, first, the downloads list here will be needed (obviously). You'll also need to have CWM setup and know how to use Odin. Heimdall will also work for those of you not on Windows, but I'm not providing any instructions for flashing using Heimdall. Also note that you will want to wipe data or perform a factory reset before booting into Froyo to avoid any problems. While you may get away with not doing it, you could end up with several problems, so my recommendation is to wipe data. Also, you can flash the ROM first, or flash the modem first, which ever you want to do. There isn't really a required order for it, as long as you do both parts.
[size=+1]Instructions[/size]
Download everything you need.
Odin
Froyo Radio
ROM+Kernel
CWM Kernel
CWM update.zip
Put the ROM zip and CWM update.zip on your SD Card
Flash the Radio via Odin in the PDA box
Enter CWM and flash the ROM+Kernel
Wipe Data in CWM before restarting your phone
Restart and enjoy Froyo

FAQ
How can I donate to you for this?
You can either click the "Donate to me" button above my avatar, or go through this link. Don't feel obligated to donate though, as Verizon should have given this to you (the users) long ago.
Can I still receive updates after flashing this?
You cannot receive updates after flashing this unless you revert back to DL17, which is the latest official software released by Verizon and Samsung.
If I can receive updates on this, how can I restore back to DL17?
I've been sending this to several people already that have had problems with their phones. If you need to revert back to DL17 for any reason, download this. You will need 7-zip or similar to extract it. Once you have the .tar.md5 file, flash it in Odin via PDA like you did for flashing the modem to get Froyo.
Can I return my phone to Verizon for warranty repair/service with this on my phone?
No. If you need any sort of help with your phone from Verizon, you will need to have the stock DL17 ROM on your phone. Anything else and you have voided your warranty and Verizon and/or Samsung will not have to do anything to help you. See the above question for a package to restore your phone to the latest stock software.
Are there any bugs in this release?
Yes there are, just as there is with any software. I do not know what the bugs are though off hand though as I have not been using this update. I also cannot say whether any of the problems you may have will ever get fixed, seeing as you can't even get a straight answer on why the update has been taking so long.
Is xxx modification/theme compatible with this?
Odds are that it isn't. All of the current themes and modifications for DL17 will not work on this package. They will all need to be updated to be able to work. Given that this is a relatively new release, this could take some time, especially given that it is the summer and people are on vacation (I'm looking at you trailblazer ). We will work though to try and get all of the mods ported from DL17 to EC03 so that you don't have to give up anything to upgrade.
Will you release a "clean ROM" based on this?
Yes, and it is already in progress. I have sent it out to a couple people already to ask for feedback and any issues. Once they say it is ok, I'll create a new thread with the cleaned up version. There is currently no ETA on when it will be released though.
Are there any other kernels I can use with this besides the one that comes with it?
At the moment, there isn't. I'm trying to get a custom kernel to work, but it has some problems. At the very least, we can customize the stock kernel some, but I do not know if a full source built kernel will ever be available.
Can I flash this if I am on the voodoo kernel?
No, if you are running the voodoo lagfix kernel, you will want to disable voodoo prior to doing anything. If you don't, you'll be in for some fun times with Odin getting your phone back in a usable state.
Can I get something included in the FAQ?
Yes you can. Just create a post with the following template, and I'll try to keep the FAQ updated. If I don't see it or add it right away, don't worry, I'll try and update it. If it has been a week or two and I still haven't responded, just send me a message with a link to what you want included. Here is the format to use:

Took about 7 minutes from download to phone setup. There was a short hang at the Samsung screen (approx. 15 seconds) but other than that it looks like it should. All startup animations are in tact..

I just got my gnex today. I had a epic 4g previously and flashed roms constantly so Im not a total noob as far as that goes. I used gnex toolbox to unlock bootloader,root and flash cwm, and then I tried first rom which I like which is miui. It would not boo, it just stuck on the splash screen. no biggie so I flashed factory image back and redid cwm and then flashed aokp and right now I have been staring at a unicorn head and animation for about 5 minutes with no end in sight. Am I doing something wrong? I also flashed franco kernel right after flashing aokp. Do I need to boot into rom first then do kernel?
funny that happened to me too, the first time I rooted and flashed, I fixed permissions and it booted,
Try pulling your battery then rebooting. Sometimes when flashing it will hang in boot the first time. If that doesnt work try flashing the rom only. Im no expert on the nexus but my friend's did that and it worked. Sometimes my i777 does it also but rebooting always has solved it for me. I juat happened to see your post on the main page hope it works for you.

Ok fixing permissions didnt work, or reflashing. So I decided to reflash factory rom and it has dissappeared from both my downloads folder and gnex toolkit folder so I have to redownload.
Make sure you are doing a proper full wipe. See my signature.
And above all, make sure you are flashing the correct version or rom for your gn. So many versions out now that who knows.

You said that your nandroid disappeared? Sounds like your bootloader may have locked again, this causes a full wipe, explaining how your nandroid disappeared.

Edit- nevermind.......got it working great!!!!!
Currently my phone cannot boot up, get's stuck at the HTC white screen. I am trying to follow the directions here but I'm having some trouble. I can get into the recovery screen and by doing so it automatically starts loading the PG32IMG.zip file but does not do anything after that and I am unsure how to proceed. So far I have tried installing the .zip using the ClockworkMod Recovery but when I attempt to do so it says it can't open and just says (bad), installation aborted. Currently it is S-ON and I do not know if I can change it to S-OFF if I cannot boot it up. Right now I am waiting for the download to finish for this guide and I will hopefully be able to switch it but in the meantime if anyone has any ideas I would certainly like to hear from you.

So you are HTC dev unlocked but not s-off if I'm understanding correctly. The flashing steps are a little different. You need to look around for flashing instructions for dev unlocked phones. I believe the Viper rom thread has the instructions, and they work for any rom.

Yes, his install instructions from that OP are:
Be s-off (or dev unlock)
Install a custom recovery (twrp/4ext)
Download the ROM and place it on your external SD card.
Do a nandroid backup!
Start rom install process and make sure you select to wipe data in aroma
Select your desired setup in aroma, and finish
Reboot the device and enjoy!
If you are dev unlock, you need to pull the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot it in hboot
I'm not dev unlock, so I've never actually done this, which is why I'm not being more specific. The boot.img is already in the zip you downloaded for the rom.
If you look in this thread, the phone is different, but the flash steps should be identical according to my understanding:

my apologies, I had originally attempted to install this ROM. I thought I had followed the directions to the letter, obviously I screwed up somewhere. I then attempted to perform a factory reset from the ClockworkMod Recovery which yielded no results. I then attempted the Viper ROM, again wiping the data and that said installation was successful. Still it refused to boot. I then tried this return to stock and with that, the .zip folder is automatically loaded but then does nothing. As of right now I cannot get past the HTC screen.

Well don't panic first of all. It's not super easy for me to figure out what's going on because your setup is quite different from mine, but I'm willing to offer any knowledge I have gleaned from reading these forums (a lot).
When you tried to go to stock, you went to the bootloader and it found the PG32IMG? Or it just stayed on the options screen of reboot, recovery, factory reset, etc?
If it found the PG32IMG did it give you any messages? Did you check the md5 sum before trying to load it?

haha too late for that, I'm already freaking out. It does find the PG32IMG automatically as I said and proceeds to load it. I was able to catch the message it flashes before it goes back to the default list, "wrong zipped image!" That doesn't sound good. I had not checked the md5sum prior to this, just did so now, says the codes do not match. Pardon my utter cluelessness but what on earth does that mean?

You need to post the md5 sum from the return to stock thread, it is right below the download. If it doesn't match after that, you have a bad download and need to download it again on a good connection. I can't see the md5 very well in your screenshot, but it looks like it is correct. Then the other thing to check is that windows didn't add an extra .zip to the file name. You'll have to go into folder options and make it show known file types then see if it says it is PG32IMG.zip.zip or something. I'll keep looking around to help, but I'd suggest reading through a lot or all of that return to stock thread.
Is the file in the root of your microsd or in a different folder like downloads?

Ok I corrected myself with the md5sum checker and now it confirms the codes match. I then doubled checked the file extension and it looks good as far as I can tell, I did not see a double .zip.zip anywhere, even after I selected "show file extensions of known files". I just tried again and got the same message,
"Checking....[PG32IMG.zip]
Wrong zipped image!

Well, I'm running out of ideas. Hopefully someone else can chime in. I'd try downloading again and make sure the md5 is good, put it on the root of the microsd, and try one more time. Other than that my knowledge is spent.

well I certainly appreciate you trying to help anyways. just on a hunch I tried running through the steps of the HTCdev bootloader which I had originally done and after doing so, it now says the following,
"Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
that is interesting, should I try the VIPER ROM again and see what happens now?
Well I am happy to report now I have figured it out! I managed to find this video and by following his steps, I was immediately able to get the Viper ROM up and running. So I guess that is what I was doing wrong, trying to follow the S-Off Method when I had already gone halfway with the HTCDev method. Very glad I was able to get it done tonight, another case of "if I can break it, I can fix it!" case closed.

Ok, here's a head scratcher (but then again, I have lice lol). Anyhow, Im having problems with my "new" SPH-L700. My last Sprint Gnex ate itself, and now Im not sure Im pretty safe in assuming Im on Stock. But Im not sure why the Toroplus ROMs I download, seem to not want to install. The only thing that DID stick was I corrected the radios as when it was given to me, it had two different radios so Im on 4.2.1 GA02 and they both match now. Im fully rooted (confirmed by Root Checker Pro) reset, and everytime Ive tried to install any ROMs they send my poor little andy on his back with a mean old red triangle coming out his poor belly. and the info tells me that the file is bad. Ive tried this with at least 3-4 ROMS and it's the same result.
Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Black out your IMEI. Or just delete the status screenshot; it's unnecessary. Are you using a custom recovery? What recovery and what version? What ROMs are you trying to flash? If you unzip the ROM what happens? Do any have md5sums?

Thank you for the info. I think it's done.
Im using CWM v. 6.0.3.6
Ive tried the new PAC-MAN 4.3, codename Android, Carbon & AOKP the closest thing I can come across that's close to an mdnsnd found that in AOKP and Carbon. Ive since deleted codename and Carbon Is there any other info you need? Im not a developer or anything. Never really had many problems once I got the hang of it. Usually I can figure it out, but this has gotten me conf*ckulated
Thanks,
Ridge
Oh yeah, sorry, when I try to install it, I get a bunch of mumbo jumbo that basically says its a (bad) file and it aborts the install.
Unzip one of the ROMs. What do you see? Folders? Files?
By md5sum I mean, do the ROM devs provide a md5sum? The purpose is to hash your downloaded copy and make sure it matches the dev's version.
I'm asking both questions to figure out whether the downloads are corrupt.

Im sorry I didnt get back to you sooner, I fell asleep. I cant rest til I know my baby (yes, I said it LOL), is all squared away. So usually I just pass out from exhaustion.
Anyway, when I try to install any of those ROMS i get this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package..
E: can't open /sdcard/o/then the name of the rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Then that's all she wrote. Im SO glad I remembered to do a backup before I started messing with my phone THIS time. (I forget a lot of times).
Ive checked all three of my ROMS, and I dont find any md5sums in any of them. It's very strange that either my computer would either corrupt or download 3 ROMS that I feel are usually pretty reliable. I DO however, have a "hash" .txt file in my phone's program. Might that be the trouble? Or is that supposed to be there when I root? Crazy SH*T man. I dunno. I thank you SO very much for all your help. This is quite frustrating. What's a dummy to do? LOL. If I came off snappy to you in my last post, it wasnt meant to be that way. I was just wondering if there was anymore info i could help you with. Im not so good with words sometimes, and I come off as an ass. I AM very appreciated of all your time and help. Doesnt seem like anyone in here really likes to help, and I get a bit cranky when I ask a question in a thread in here and I get made fun of instead of getting any help. So I really am glad for all your time and effort
Thanks so very much,
Ridge
P.S. I always forget all youve asked me... When Ive unzipped all the ROMs, I have folders that have TONS of files in them.

Thanx a bunch ice blue. I've been doing that over and over. I'm gonna try to just DL the files directly to my phone instead if going through my computer. That's going to be my last try before I take this stupid refurb skeet shooting And the phone will NOT be given a gun. LOL!
I really do appreciate the help and suggestions

I've done that 3 times so now this time I get my send dates telling me that I sent stuff on the 31st of December 1969. I don't get it. I am in stock right now. Maybe I should just Odin toroplus instead of just staying in stock? Im just going nutso here, trying everything I can think of starting over from scratch every time. Eesh! But PLEASE keep the suggestions coming, hoping to get this damn thing done right. Soto tallys point in time I'm ready to duct tape this baby to the rear tire of my bike and do donuts on it at about 75 mph for an hour or so. LOL! :banghead: If anyone has ANY ideas, I'm totally open to try anything.
