    cant root my phone and it's annoying me

    hi all.i had my phone rooted about 6 months ago and then they removed the root option from ryan za's oclf and i tried to root it manually and bricked my phone.i have followed the "root phone for begginers"and done everything to the note but when i try to apply the zip file it says
    E signature verification failed,installation abored
    what does this mean.i am so unhappy with this phone.
    i am putting the zip file into mnt/sdcard which is the root folder,it will not allow me to chose just "sd card" as described in the tutorial
    wtf is going on with my phone.i am totally devasted with the galaxy s and it still comes out on top in all the reviews.if ryan za can speed the phone phone up then why cant the idiots at samsung do it

    Well, at least you can remain calm.

    You need 2e recovery to install unsigned update zip files.

    Or flash CF-root with busybox via odin, or voodoo lagfix which also allows you to use busybox & superuser. Or something.
    I could be wrong, I usually am. (Because it's only a phone)
