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.

So, over in the i9000 forum z4ziggy has been working on z4mod, it is similar to Voodoo, it completely replaces the file system with ext*.
Check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797672
Currently our kernel only supports ext2, which is sad, but here is the patched kernel, apply it with odin in the PDA slot.
Download kernel (Froyo 2.2):
http://www.multiupload.com/N1OUL0ZYYN
Download Odin:
http://www.multiupload.com/KK1GOK9SYT
Next you will need to run this zip from rom manager, the patched kernel has a borked version of 2e recovery that doesnt let you select anything, so if it fails, you will need to reboot and try again with rom manager.
Download EXT2 zip:
http://www.sgscompilebox.dreamhosters.com/files/z4mod.ext2.update.zip
If you want to revert back for whatever reason, just use this.

I tried going into CW recovery and mine when it rebooted to go into recovery it errored out and i couldn't get back into the OS. I had to redo my ROM again just FYI. Not sure why it wouldn't load back.
Do you know why my CW wouldn't load DG? Not sure how to apply the fix if I can't get into CW recovery.

Apparently, if you've deleted Touchwiz and replaced it with LP, it won't work. Boots up pretty damn fast and the drop down menu has absolutely no lag!!! That's all I've been able to test ATM. Flashing back to stock, then back to Cog2.2B2.

I flashed the kernel with Odin then tried to apply the .zip with rom manager.
It failed. Now my phone keep on booting into the recovery screen...and i cant make it reboot regularly to try again.
Help?
omg i got the same problem!!! help!
I fixed it. I just flashed the PDA from my version of Cognition (v6). Now it rebooted into recovery, only this time it worked.
Successfully updated it, but it seems to have no Android Market app???? I installed my TiBu of Appbrain, but it says I can't download anything without having Android Market installed. Have an .apk for that DG? Or anyone for that matter? Other than that, it is pretty quick

Download recovery.
Reboot into recovery.
If it doesn't go into Clockwork (green screen) automatically, just in regular recovery, select reinstall packages. Should reboot into Clockwork.
Thanks, i think my problem was that i had never gone into clockwork mod recovery before. With the modified kernel it is impossible to reinstall packages. I flashed to cog 2.2 kernel then reinstalled packages. Then flashed back to modified kernel. Now it should work.
EDIT: Worked
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?

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.)

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?
Okay, so I got my Fascinate yesterday, and rooted last night... It went perfectly. No hiccups other than driver installation for the phone... but I fixed it. So now I have Titanium Backup, Rom Manager.. For some reason the Market won't let me download Root Explorer or SetCPU or TiBu donate.. So that's on hold for now I guess.. But I read the steps in HOW TO:Root, Install Clockwork, Remove Bloatware, Integrate Google, Un-root, and more which has a link to Clockworkmod installation how to for windows / *nix but I can't find Odin anywhere? I've been looking and the link in that second post is broken for both Odin and Clockwork mod. Now, I believe I DID finally get Clockwork through ROM Manager... But still no Odin.. And when I select "back up current ROM" on ROM Manager it says:
Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And then I have some blue text toward the top that says
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung recovery utils
- for BML -
(the following is selectable)
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I don't believe I have an update.zip on my sdcard..
Sooo, what gives: How do I backup with ROM Manager? I think I have already backed up my apps and stuff with Titanium Backup.. But I'm still curious as to what is going on.. And How do I get Odin? Is there like a central place I can find all of this info on Odin, flashing, recovery, kernels, etc? I think I've picked most of this stuff up fairly quickly.. But now I'm at a wall. How do I proceed?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: D'oh I just noticed I posted this in the development section and not general. I apologize. If a mod could please move it?
Ok, I know where you are, you have to flash clockwork mod through odin. Then you have to select "flash clockworkmod recovery" in rom manager. To get odin, have you googled it? Im on my fascinate right now so I cant post it from my pc. Also, the wonderful people on IRC #samsung-fascinate could probably have it up in like 2sec. You'll be good to go once you odin and flash clockworkmod. Good luck

Thanks for the quick reply.. I have googled it, and most of the links I found were either broken, seemed outdated, or didn't seem to be the steps for the Fascinate, so I've been kind of scared to get them... I haven't noticed an official site for Odin. Is there one? Also, do I need Samsung Kies? What is it?

A friend of mine with a Droid 1 is running a rom called project elite. He showed me a boot animation that's part of the rom that started with an Apple logo, then it zoomed out and had the android robot eating it. Was brilliant.
Anyone know where I can get it or how I can get this on my Fascinate?
Download the ROM, extract the bootanimation.zip file from it (look in system/media) and put it in the /system/media folder on your phone. If you post the zip here, I'm sure someone could make a CWM zip for you to make it easier to put on your phone. Also, if there is a sound with it, look for that as well, system/etc/PowerOn.wav if it's in the same place that our boot sound is at.
Thanks! I'll see if I can get the zip from him. The rom has the setting built in to choose what boot animation you wanna use, and there were like seven included with it. Would that make it harder to extract the one I want? I assume there would be multiple ones packaged in there
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I want that animation! In answer to your question it should not pose to be more difficult, but it may add for some good extra animations.
i used to beta for project elite ...let me know if you cant get out of the rom ...ill get them directly from the dev
edit: get the cwm version below
Here's a CWM zip for it. Only change is that I removed the Thumbs.db file from the zip let me know if it doesn't work.
You're awesome, imnuts. Was going get on this today, but you beat me to it and then some.
The zip worked fine and the boot animation is great, by the way. Thanks again

Does the zip file need to be on the root of the sd card ?
Tried to install from Clockwork Recovery
Used "install zip from sdcard" and navigated to the zip file
Install shows complete but it is still the same old boot animation.
Running DB-DO froyo and have updated CWM
Thanks for any help
I absolutely love this boot animation, thanks!
so after digging around a few different places it looks like the EB01 kernel doesn't support the boot and shutdown animations. waiting on release of source code so we can have a custom kernel ?
zipgunjny:
Are you running the stock eb01? JT has a "hack" that he used to enable the boot animations for the custom roms. Follow imnuts instructions on where the bootanimation.zip is located.
Its the debloated-deodexed eb01. Searched for jt's hack without any luck. Any hints on finding it? Thanks again for the help. Tired of the verizon boot and shutdown animations

hey guys
Need some help for my Dell Streak 5
I tried installing custom rom but it gave error that signature not found
So then I installed Rom manager from ClockWorkMod
It asked for root
So then I installed Superuser
But some how it dosen't seem to work
Where am I getting it wrong?
I am completly noob in android now
What recovery are you using? Sounds like CWM. There's an option within CWM recovery to toggle signature verification. That should turn it off and let you install whatever ROM you want. Also, ROM manager is known to not work with the Streak. Not sure if that's changed with the latest versions of CWM for the Streak.

so without root I can't use cwm and without cwm I unable to root the phone
:crying:
You need to read and follow the advice given to you in this thread earlier by Edrill.
In Clockworkmod 6.0.1.2:
1. Select "Apply update from .zip file on SD card".
2. Select "toggle signature verification" and make sure the bottom of the screen says "Signature Check: Disabled".
3. Select Superuser.zip and flash it.
Your device, for whatever reason, has the signature check function enabled. As long as it is enabled you will not be able to install unsigned zips, like Superuser.zip apparently is. So disable it!
All my zips are signed and the signatures are valid.
His version is either modified or corrupt, he never stated where he got it from.
He also stated he's using rom manager, so there's likely other issues beyond that.

the cwm most probably not from here... and using rom manager that was never meant for streak makes it even worse ... maybe he is on stock rom 2.2.x ...
