Ok guys, not sure if this should be in General or in here...
I am very new to Android but I'm loving it so far. I have my Epic rooted and I have the clockworkmod installed. I have download Tha Boss Rom V.02 to try out as my first ROM.
I just a few questions?
I have the ROM on my sd card and I renamed to update.zip(not sure if I needed to do that)... I then open up clockwork and hit update ROM from SD Card, point it at the update.zip.
It reboot and goes into the Android system recovery screen and starts to install the package. It gets to Verifying update package and stops and say:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong. Do I just have a bad file and maybe redownload it? I think I may try Andromeda Galaxy v1.0.3 next just to see if it's a file issue...
Thanks if you took the time to read this.

Boot ypur phnoe into clockwork recovery (vol. down + camera + power) then select "install zip from SDcard". then "choose zip from SDcard" then select the update.zip file.

it seems like you guys dont have clockmod installed correctly. are you guys doing the one click method for root and clockmod? do any rooted apps work? dl rom manager from the market. use that to install the newest clockmod recovery. make sure you selet the samsung epic. use rom manger to boot into recovery? it should be green not blue
I was having a similar problem booting to cwm from rom manager. Rooted with one click 2.2.4 then one click clockwork final then installed rom manager. RM would not boot into cwm. Dled and flashed cwm from inside RM and still didn't work. I could get to it via the 3 button method. Next I flashed Mixup kernel and still had the same issue. Went back into RM and clicked DL Clockwork again and it instantly says its successful and now I can boot into cwm from RM.
Could somebody please make (or HAS somebody made) a guide that addresses the following two scenarios? I think it would go a LONG way towards encouraging others to experiment with the ROMs that are available now
1. My phone's rooted. I want to experiment and try out the available ROMs... but first, I want my phone backed up verbatim, so I can put everything back the way it was if things don't work out. What do I need to do?
2. I had fun trying out other ROMs, but for now I just want to put everything back the way it was before I started. I followed the instructions for #1. What do I need to do NOW?
Ok all this what I found was my problem. I believe it was Windows 7 64 bit. I tried to get clockworkmod running on my work machine that is windows 7 32bit and it worked like a champ. I actually decided to start from scratch and unrooted my phone, reapplied the DI07 update then rooted again, did the clockworkmod first try... then I did the last try.bat and rebooted and that seemed to work. I am doing a ROM back as I type this.
There is a good thread on it in the Epic Android Development forum called:
[TUTORIAL] Updating to DI07, Obtaining Root, and Flashing Custom Recovery [FIX]
I'd post a link, but I am a new user... and so no links in post
Hope this helps everyone.
Can someone post a link? I did use search, turned up a million (yes, I am exaggerating) threads but can't find this one.
Thanks.

Try this
should be it.
is it possible to switch to another custom recovery after I already got clockworks?
I tried unrevoked but its stuck in the reboot (I believe its trying to root my aria again)
not sure what youre trying to do.... i believe Clockwork is the only Recovery for rooted phones. if you want to flash a custom ROM, well that is something else altogether. please be specific as to what you want to flash to the phone. include a link to the flash too
I was trying to flash psfreedom recovery rom from here
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I believe the method on that website was for unrooted arias without clockworks

To flash a different custom recovery on your Aria, you need to rename the zip file LIBEIMG.ZIP on the SD card and boot in HBOOT (Power on the phone by holding down VOL DOWN and the Power Button). When it boots to the HBOOT screen you should see text stating that it found LIBEIMG.ZIP and is installing it.
awesome. now before I go ahead, is there any clockworkx recovery image I can revert back to?

I'm curious, what recovery are you talking about?
thanks for including the link. the instructions are clear.... Root IS required, Clockwork recovery is recommended, the Freedom Aria flash appears to be a custom ROM.
once the phone is Rooted, boot into Recovery, make a Nandroid backup, and flash downloaded zip file from SD card.
if you need help Rooting, there is all sorts of good methods available on this site. I use the Unrevoked method myself, but it works best on Linux or Mac OS

hmm I think you are looking at the old method which is a custom rom
The new one is a custom recovery which brings me to the question as I dont think you can flash a custom recovery in the clockwork custom recovery.
its possible im looking at the wrong thing, but far as i can tell it states "Recovery Custom ROM" which is totally different from Custom Recovery ROM
From link posted above:
"Update can be installed in recovery mode in Psfreedom settings menu via Update (local) or Update (net) if you have configured your wifi connection. Put the file on your SDCARD and install it.

I have similar questions. I was trying to update my version of clockwork also using unrevoked again, but couldn't get it to work. I guess my questions are:
1. Is there any benefit in updating to a newer version of clockwork? My current version is 2.0.x.x and I believe the latest one is 2.5.0.4.
2. Will this same method work to do so? Can I rename the latest clockwork .zip file like this and get it updated?
I thought using the flash clockwork option in ROM Manager would do it, but it doesn't. If I reboot from ROM Manager it goes to the newer version, but if I reboot otherwise it goes to my original. The couple times I've used it, there appears to be maybe some different features/options in the newer one and I feel like I might be missing out on something!
What's the difference with this recovery?

These are probably two different things. once you got the recovery rom flashed you can upgrade it in recovery mode (hence its different from original clockwork recovery)
Ok bro, I didn't see much info about it so I'm gonna take your word for it.
@brswattt, far as I can tell this is " basically" used for jailbreaking the ps3.
@armyengineer;
you can use unrEVOked to flash the new recovery. if youre a Windows user, download the unrEVOked tool and run the .exe as Administrator. also make sure there are no conflicting s/w on the PC such as HTC Sync and you have all the drivers installed(HBoot, ADB drivers, etc.)
for more info about the PSFreedom Recovery, check out THIS Thread HERE

This still isn't working for me. Everything appears to go well at the start, then I get:
Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)
At which point the only way I can restart is to pull my battery. After doing so, it reboots and I get:
This was a triumph
It is not, however, any such thing. After another minute I get this:
Internal error: couldn't find misc.
So I've still got my original version of clockwork, 2.0.1.3, despite the fact that ROM Manager is telling me I have 2.5.0.1. I'm obviously missing something here.
BTW, if it matters I'm running CM 6.1.0

Although there is a ClockworkMod 2.5.0.4 version, I don't think it is for the Aria. According to ClockworkMod ROM Manager, 2.5.0.1 is the most current one for the Aria so I am believing what ROM Manager is telling me since it is written by the same the vendor.
I have tried CM 6.1.0
original HTC Aria 2.1 International Rom
and FR001 RC1
all no go. I think it has something to do with the phone already been rooted and has clockworks installed which makes unrevoked unhappy

OK, let's start from the beginning. You asked about installing an alternate recovery (PSFreedom recovery), but apparently it has its own installation procedure that needs to be run on an unrooted Aria.
What you need is to find just the PSFreedom recovery and copy it to your SD called in a file called LIBEIMG.ZIP and that is how you need to install it on a root phone that has ClockworkMod. Perhaps you need to go back to the PSFreedom thread and ask if a LIBEIMG.ZIP can be produced that can be flashed from HBOOT to replace ClockworkMod.
Looks like everything you need is located in the PSFreedom wiki:
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I got a recovery.bin which is suppose to be used with unrevoked.
are you talking about the same one if I just compress it into a zip file?
hello, i rooted my phone using Visionary and checked root with setcpu. i tried installing clockwork through rom manager and it says it was succesful but when i reboot into recovery it still only has the blue text stock recovery. i then tried the fllash_image recovery method from terminal but it says image not found. ive tried searching everything i can with no luck. help would be greaty appreciated.
After you install ROM manager, open it and press Flash" " its like the first button
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681 Go to this thread and follow the instructions. Download the zip, go to recovery and flash the zip. Then you will have 3.0.0.6 recovery (orange color). Remember you have to pick 3.0.0.5 in "more recoveries" in rom manager after flashing.

Unless you turn s=off, flashing the recovery image will not stick. Its rewriting the image back to a factory recovery image.

The easiest method can be found @ the unlockr. Link .
That will only turn s=off, it will not flash the engineering screen so chances of bricking your phone are extremely low.
How ever the most effective way to root your phone can be found in our development section under the "ultimate guide" it's stuck to the top.
The other know i would HIGHLY suggest is not flashing the recovery Image that comes with Clockwork ROM Manger. But rather flash the 3.0.0.6. I have two links in my signature that will cover that. Trueblues will will allow you to do easily, and the other link will tell you why to use the 3.0.0.6 and how to do it with the ADB commands.
Hi guys, I'm new to this. I followed the exact instructions from Cyanogen Wiki on how to install Clockworkmod Recovery on a stock (2.2 Froyo) Vz Fascinate using Heimdall. I got the blue bar in download mode showing that 'recovery.bin' was successfully loaded onto the phone, but then when I try to boot in it (3-button method), I get the blue (3e) Recovery (probably the stock one). So, when I try to flash CM7, I get a "file verification failed" or similar message, probably because stock recovery doesn't allow custom roms. I have no idea what to do next. I've tried flashing clockworkmod again, tried again and again...same thing (I've also tried recovery boot from ADB, same thing, I get the blue (3e) recovery). I'd appreciate any help.

I take it you dont have a windows pc or else you would of tried odin? Also next time if you would, please post your questions in the q&a section. Thx!
Thanks for the reply. I just did it with Odin following your instructions, worked flawlessly. I don't get it why it doesn't work with Heimdall (and why CM folks use Heimdall). One thing though, I didn't remove the battery at all during the process . Thanks bro.

awsome! glad you got it working.
Thanks to you bro ...listen, I know this isn't the thread, but is it still possible to root the VZ Fascinate (now with clockworkmod recovery and CM7 gingerbread), because all I've found are old instructions that don't work anymore...can you please direct me to a method that works? Thanks a lot!
CM7 is pre-rooted.

If your on cm7 your already rooted. Although If for some reason you need to root a stock rom, check out section:5 of my guide a couple threads down. If it helps ya hit the thanks button.
that's what I thought (saw in ROM manager, Super User)...cool, thanks again both of you
Greetings all.
I have a HTC Tattoo still running with the original Android 1.6 that came with the phone. I am trying to install the latest CM7.1.0.1 but have run to a few issues due to how old the Android version is.
I had some issues here, but I was able to install Universal AndRoot and Superuser. So, the phone is fully rooted at this point.
Since the phone is running Android 1.6, Rom Manager Free will not install, since the current version does not support this version of Android. Therefore, I am unable to install ClockworkMod Recovery in this way.
I tried finding older versions of Rom Manager that support Android 1.6, but when I tried installing them, the message I got was "com.koushikdutta.rommanager could not be installed on this phone". I could not get past this...
So, I tried the manual way through adb, using Cyanogen wiki. Through this way, I am only able to get up to the point I try gaining superuser rights using the "su" binary provided. At this point, I get the following error: "su: permission denied".
My question is: is there any other way I can flash ClockworkMod Recovery?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I am stuck with the same problem.
I used the one-click-root app provided in this forum -> worked.
but due to android 1.6 am not allowed to install the rommanager app.
and with ADB I am stuck- -> getting same error as above: su permission denied.
I hope anyone can guide me though the installation of the clockwork recovery.
thx
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
i think i am one step further now. i installed rommanager 3.0.1.7 (found in the internet), which installed the clockwork recovery.
when i go to "download rom" it says i need a newer version
i downloaded the rom manually, coppied to sd and selected in rommanager "install from sd"
system rebooted and showed my phone and a triangle (with power+home i come into a menu)
anyone can help me here to flash the rom?
Rommanager did not install clockworkmod, i think there was a su issue...

Hi again,
I finally have some time to try this again. But before I do anything, do I have to create the goldcard? Because the htc is already rooted, so I was thinking maybe I only need to perform the last part of it, which is installing ClockworkMod.
Thanks again!
No, you dont need to create goldcard again
Goldcard
Hello lemmymet,
You said I don't need to create the goldcard again. But I never created a goldcard... I have superuser through Universal Androot... unless this creates a goldcard automatically for you.
Regardless, the attempt to install only recovery failed. It gave an error saying it couldn't copy 'su' file, probably because there already is one.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again.

goldcard is needed only to overcome CID check
[CID - Carrier identifier, used in locking a phone to a specific carrier's SIM cards]
with goldcard you can flash unbranded RUU, so that you can get rid of mobile carrier specific junk (for example in my case orange junk).
and you dont need it for rooting and recovery flashing.
