adb sideload <filename> (file copy goes to 100%)

e:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
installation aborted;

Any insights?

Even the OTA Download when it is detected downloads and reboots to installs fails; unsure of wtf is going on

You sideload apps... you don't sideload an OS. You install, usually from a bootloader.

Stick with the OTA download. Find a way to delete the download and restart. However, if I were you, I'd backup using Helium, factory reset your Gpad and redo the OTA download. Best of luck.

You can sideload ota updates.

xaeniac is that update specifically for your current android version?

It was. I had bought this second hand and something was hidden, so I had to flash back to default. It was somewhat of a pain. This is resolved now.
