I have an Orange Desire
I installed Modaco's R8 rom a while back - running no problem.
Today I had an OTA notification from HTC ( not Orange ) about an update. Size was around 25mb. I downloaded it OK, but when it tries to install I get a triangle with an exclamation mark in it next to an Android figure.
I also get the message:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: Signature verification failed
So my questions are:
1) Why can't I install it.
2) Is there a way to install it?
3) Am I missing much if I don't install it.
Thanks all
No one knows?

if your rooted you cant install any ota update
with a custom recovery you cannot use OTA updates,
u need to download and install it threw recovery.
The new OTA just gives u a new radio, mine .. u can download it and flash threw recovery, did not notice anything else...
Custom recover images do not accept ota updates. You can get the update as a repackaged zip though, usually, which will work on your custom recovery.
Basically I have the preview build of Jelly Bean (JRN84D) but it keeps alerting me to install the OTA version which fails, I know there are lots of threads about this but I can't seem to find the answer in them, I tried flashing the stock recovery but when I try to boot into it I get the Red exclamation mark and can't do anything with the volume or power keys, this is the same exclamation mark I get when trying to install the update.
I think the recovery file may be corrupt, is this the key to getting OTA update? Also my radio is XXLF1 if that helps. Thanks for any help offered, I watched the video and everybody hates noobs but I tried the solutions in other posts and it seems to have got worse.
EDIT: I can access recovery now, but the update still fails.

Flash the Stock Recovery/Radio/Bootloader for Takju from the hosted Google Factory Images through Fastboot. It won't erase your data/apps. For the Recovery, you will need to extract it manually from the image while the bootloader and radio should be standalone.

When you say the Takju Google Factory Image do you mean the 4.0.4 takju image? as that's the only one I can find on their site.
Thanks.

Flashed the radio, bootloader and recovery from it and it still doesn't work, if I press up and power button after it fails it gives me a status 7 error, might just flash stock and unroot if there's no other way.

Any ideas or am I screwed and should go ahead and try flash stock rom and unroot? Will that even help?

What's the FULL error.
Also, are you using a recovery that is different from CWM 5.5.0.2 or 5.5.0.4? If so, get rid of it, and use one of those.

I'm using stock recovery because everything I've read says to use stock if you want to accept OTA updates, the full error is:

Where did you get the preview build? Based on that error, it would seem to me like you flashed a non-stock version of JB 4.1 like bigxie's ROM. If that is the case, you need to flash a stock ROM before any update can be applied...

Now that you've mentioned that name, yes that's the ROM I got, I'm gonna go ahead and guess there's no way to return to stock without wiping data is there?

Maybe. You can try this without wiping and see if it works. Then apply the JRO03C-from-JRN84D update form here.

And if I do that then will I be able to accept any future OTA updates through android and have it update automatically without having to flash the updates myself?

If you follow method 2, then yes, you will be able to automatically accept OTA updates and have it install automatically. BUT, you MAY need to do the first one (i.e., to JRO03C) manually (if you don't get it shortly after you flash JRN84D). After that, you will be all set for the next update.

I'll try it, thanks for the help.
EDIT: It worked! Did it without wiping and it accepted the OTA without needing to do it manually, once again thanks so much for helping!
I have a Galaxy Nexus on the Bell Network, unlocked, rooted and running CWM 5.5.0.2 non-touch
Having Issues upgrading from 4.0.4 to JB via OTA. I had the same issues going from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 and at the back of my head I wonder if its not the same problem
The failure is (Status 7)
First I tried lettting the system upgrade itself, and I get the guy on the back with the red exclamation mark.
I manual push the incremental update from HERE in XDA, I get the Status 7
I flashed the 4.0.4 stock recovery image and used the stock recovery module to uprade from /cache, also Status 7
I tried CWM upgrading with the /recovery folder deleted, no change
I noted in Note 7 of HERE in XDA that I should reflash the radio back to the original radio but having difficulties because reflashing the radio has no apparent effect. It also mentions deleting the assertion from the script but I'm pretty sure as an android n00b that I don't understand the consequences.
I got the GetRIL app from the market, and it showed a conflict (XXLA2 RIL when my radio was UGLC1). I let it grab the UGLC1 radio and tried to upgrade no go.
Went back to CWM and flashed the CWM UGLC1 from HERE in XDA and then tried to upgrade, no go.
Here's the text (hope I got the hashes correct)
When I attempt to upgrade...

If anyone has any suggestions as to what to check or where to look, that would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
you need the XXLA2 radio/ril for the update.

Thanks, that worked (partly). Now I am having permission issues...

I tried using Fix Permission option in CWM, doesn't help.
On a side note...
If I go back to a North America radio after the upgrade, will that bork future OTAs again? Alternatively, how do I get North American OTAs from Google (if such a beast exist) instead of Samsung OTAs (yakuux which is what you get from providers up here)? It seems silly to be forced to choose between the radio optimized for your region or up to date OTAs (which is the sole reason why I buy Nexi phones).

I'm guessing you removed the recovery folder from the zip you were trying to flash? That is what is causing your error I believe. Just flash the unmodified zip.
As for you other question, if you want to get the update automatically, you need everything to match. But, when the new update comes out, just re-flash the XXLF1 radio, apply the update and flash back whatever radio you want. No big deal.
And I would try the XXLF1 radio for a while. I personally haven't found much difference between the XX radios and the UG radios...

You received a glide with ICS/JB already on it?
Any chance the su you have is for GB, and doesn't work on ICS/JB?
If you didn't get it with ICS./JB already on it / stock, I don't understand why you would have put an unrooted ROM on it?
i had 2.3.5 on it . but phone was unstable restart it self... so i downloaded 4.0.4 rom from here
http://www.androidauthority.com/captivate-glide-sgh-i927-att-android-4-0-4-ics-uclg9-leak-110365/
now can't root it. but keyboard backlight is not working 2.is there any link for rooted 4.0.4 ??? with working keyboard backlight?
Hi Guys,
Whenever OTA application tries to update, it initially downloads the file and then boots into same system via BMM. I mean the update process doesn't start. Am i missing something. When i try to install OTA file after downloading via OTA app it states "Unable to add file". Kindly guide me through this OTA update process.
Thanks in advance.
