    Question Software update failure - signature verification failed ?

    I have been trying to update my S3 for a number of weeks now. It currently is running v4.0.4 kernel version 3.0.15-928452-user

    I get the S/W Update notice or it comes up if I go into About device | Software Update.

    I do the 284MG download and then do install, it restarts and then the CWM Recovery (5.5.0.4) gives an error for invalid command parameter, failed to verify whole file signature.

    I have to restart. Does anyone know how I can get around this failure and do a successful install?

    Thanks, Tom.

    I am not sure if that will help with a firmware but you can go to
    Setting >>security >> unknown sources (put a tick)

    Thanks. I have that option set for a good while.

    I tried it on Kies some weeks ago before it was pushed and it failed, I can't remember the reason. I'll give it another spin.

    Glad you are finally sorted...
    Most of the failiure is due to a heavy demand on the site specially now everyone is rushing to download and install...
