    it tell me yes-install untrusted l press it and after tell me E:signature verification failed.Why happen that how can fix it??

      1. I’m already follow the step and install CWM Recovery too but still failed after reboot and hold key volume up+home+power. Still open Android Recovery System, not CWM Recovery. In ODIN is PASS and GREEN. But why can’t open CWM?

        1. Immediatly after flashin CWM from Odin, you have to press the recovery keys ( Vol+ and home) to enter recovery *before the phone
          get to reset from the Odin PDA flash*. Just press the buttons
          right after the status bar fills on the phone screen. This is the trick
          to enter the real CWM recovery and not the stock one.
