I currently have a stock rooted S3 with CMW. I keep getting OTA update notifications and they are really starting to bug me. When I try to update using these OTA updates I get an error message that says: "E: failed to verify whole-file signature/ E:signature verification failed...."
I'm not interested in flashing ROMs or doing anything custom with my phone, I just want the root for an ad blocker, titanium backup, and some tasker privileges. I just want to receive and apply OTA updates when they arrive on my phone. I think I'm pretty behind with updates, I think I'm on LJ7. I attached a link with a picture of my phone information for someone who is more knowledgeable to verify. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u1u5eacoqf2hldh/2013-06-09%2010.38.53.png
I have heard that, in order to apply OTA updates, you just need to have stock recovery and it will work. My first question: Is this true?
I tried to download the stock recovery file from Freeza's thread [ROM|Stock Rooted] 4/24/13 Sprint TouchWiz Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (L710VPBMD4) Odex/DeOdex - xda-developers and his server is down (and has been down for about a week).
If this is the fix, I want to do it today if possible. Does anyone have another copy of his stock recovery file, or if that's not the solution, what do I need to do to be able to apply the OTA updates when they get pushed through?
