Hi,

I tried downloading the OTA ICS for my LG Spectrum today, it downloads fine but when I go to install it, I get this:

ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.1
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

*I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE*

not to be a dick man, but it kind of should. That has been posted in about 10 different threads about 50 different times.
edit: since i feel like is slighty harsh http://androidforums.com/spectrum-a...re-v4-v6-verizon-stock-only-cwm-recovery.html ... this will get you back to stock so you can take the ota.

V6:

http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/v6_stock_noroot/stock_recovery_restorer_v6.zip

http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/v6_stock_noroot/v6_stock_noroot.zip

Extract the contents of v6_stock_noroot.zip to the sd card of your phone so that the directory inside of your zip is at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/ . If you do it wrong and put it at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/v6_stock_noroot/ it will not work.

Copy stock_recovery_restorer.zip to the base directory of your sdcard so the end result should be /sdcard/stock_recovery_restorer_v6.zip


Next :

Now boot into recovery.

Make one final nandroid backup if you are so inclined.

Now at the root menu of CWM Recovery choose wipe data/factory reset , then yes.

Then go into advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache -> yes
and also advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats -> yes

Now go into backup and restore -> restore -> v6_stock_noroot

If it goes correctly, proceed to the next step. If it fails, you placed the files incorrectly. Reboot your phone and fix where you extracted v6_stock_noroot.zip to.

If all went well, go to install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> stock_recovery_restorer_v6.zip -> yes.

Ok, I try to go back to V6 following these steps and I get stuck on:

Now go into backup and restore -> restore -> v6_stock_noroot

I go to install v6_stock_noroot and it says:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG NOW???

*please forgive me for being such a noob*

MD5 mismatch is almost always the fact that you put the files one directory too deep.

"Extract the contents of v6_stock_noroot.zip to the sd card of your phone so that the directory inside of your zip is at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/ . If you do it wrong and put it at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/v6_stock_noroot/ it will not work."

If they are in fact there correctly, try putting them on your phone again or possibly use a different memory card.

What do you mean too deep???
I install it EXACTLY where the instruction say and it appears EXACTLY as the directions say: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/

If i had done it wrong the steps clearly say that it would've showed or said: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/v6_stock_noroot/
but it didn't, it did not show up as this file name.

So, I repeated it this step 5 TIMES and I still get the same message "MD5 mismatch"

Is there a youtube video showing how to do this???

Try re-downloading the files, it might work. Do you mind posting screenshots of where you put the files. When I first did it I had it in the wrong place and even though I swore I didn't, I had it in the wrong place and tried like 12 times.

Yes, please if you don't mind, post pictures so I can have a more CLEAR understanding of where they need to go, thank you very much in advance. :)

Noob Question: what does flash your ROM means? How do you do this?
Is "flash" another terminology for "wiping, erasing"???

I'm not trying to be a dick but if you have to ask that you probably shouldn't be messing with your phone. If you want to learn read through threads here or google it.

OUCH!!! :(

still trying to be nice... but it gets very very frustrating answering the same questions over and over. 9 times out of 10 your questions and issues can usually be solved by searching the forum. I know it can be a pain sometimes, but it should always be your first option.
 
What I said what meant to be taken personal or mean spirited nastyleak. It was meant for you to try to learn more before you screw your phone up by doing something you are not sure of that's all. The information is here in the forums and its worthwhiletoknow what you're doing before you try.
 
About two months ago I was a noob as well. I started by reading every single page of the Brokenout thread (about 1260 posts). That thread is like a fast course in rooting and flashing roms. I know if may seem like a lot, and a lot of it is repeats but it is worth reading through it.

Ok,

So i took your advise and decided to read a little more through the forums, correct me if I'm wrong:

For me to go back to FULL STOCK I have to start from V4, update OTA to V6 and then again update OTA to ICS???

Because I started to go back to stock rom from V6, i did not do V4 first, could this have been the cause of my problem????

Or am I completely talking out of my ass??? :)

No, I went straight to V6. did you maybe not extract the ROM zip? The zip has to be extracted at that location, not just put there.

I did, I did extract the files at the exact location it told me to do so, and it still said:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!

So, you know what I give up, I don't want to keep filling up this forum with dumb questions, so let's drop it. I'll just wait until they fix the 4G problems on the ICS leaked version.

Thanks all for your patience with me.

Admin,

You can delete this thread if you like, I won't feel insulted or get mad.
