Having problems flashing anything to my phone

I am running DL09, everything is stock. I rooted my phone, and flashed cwm via odin. Then I installed cwm from the market and from cwm flashed recovery. Via cwm i tried to flash an updated version of cwm, but it didn't work, then I tried to flash the leaked dl30 - it also didn't work. everytime i try to flash anything, i get the following error message:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed installation aborted.
the top of the screen (when i boot into recovery from the rom manager) says
Android system recovery (2e)
Samsung recovery Utlis
- for BML -
also, when I try to select anything, it only recognized the home soft key as enter.
my only options are
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
what has gone wrong?

I have the same problem. Adrynalyn said something about dl09 being sneaky and killing the cwm loader, so the first boot after running odin we are supposed to flash a clean kernel... I haven't tried it yet, been busy, but I will this weekend before flashing froyo.

I had the same blue text screen with those for options this morning when looking to wipe batt stats. I went ahead and selected the sdcard option, and next thing I know I'm looking at the gen text again with the complete list of options. Maybe try that?
Mmmmm...Froyo!

Please help: G2 + Cyanogenmod 7 rc2 = my phone won't boot

WHAT I DID:
From stock ROM, albeit rooted -
opened ROM Manager
chose to download CM7rc2, also ticked Google bundle
allowed it to do its thing
Could not log into Google account, same as with CM6 - why does it hate me?
decided to flash back to previous backup
^^ that's where it gets stuck. I have 4 different nandroid backups, and none of them will restore. The best I can get is a boot loop. Right now I'm getting
Code:
Can't open /cache/recovery/log
can't open /cache/recovery/log
can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

What version of clockwork recovery are you using and are you trying to restore a CM6 backup or CM7. Did you wipe before installing CM7? Also its been posted several places about using rom manager to update some have had issues and posted. Its probably best to use it to download the rom you want but for best results installing it manually usually avoids issues atleast for me anyways.

I am using the current version, 3.0.0.5 or something like that (I can't get into my phone to check). I am trying to restore a stock ROM. I have three backups made with ClockworkMod and none of them will restore. I try to start the restore, and after a few seconds I get "Error while erasing boot image: can't open /cache/recovery/log"

what method did you use to obtain root?

The older versions of CWR 3.0.0.5 had some troubles retsoring their backups. Try to find a new one.
And regarding the boot problem.
Try to wipe cache
If it still does not boot, connect it to USB and run an adb logcat while it is booting. Ther should be some helpful information.

adb logcat just says "waiting for device" forever.

You can't restore a stock rom with clockworkmod 3, as the stock rom is based on froyo (2.2)
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.

damn, that sucks!

You can use CWM 3.0.0.5 to flash between CM7, CM6, stock, etc and restore backups. I do it all the time. The newer versions (after 3.0.0.5) don't have that ability.
The output you provided most likely means you didn't wipe before flashing.
Reboot into recovery and wipe user data as well as cache. A nandroid restore from recovery should wipe automatically. I'm not sure Rom manager does it by default or you have to select the option. Perhaps that's why you got a boot loop.
If the restore fails Use ADB to push a rom. Sounds like it's not recognizing your device (perhaps a driver issue). If you can't use ADB, just mount usb in recovery and transfer a rom update. Remember to wipe cache and data, then flash. You will lose your apps and data, but you can restore them if you used Titanium Backup.

I do it all the time. The legit version of 3.0.0.5 that's offered through rom manager will allow you to reflash any rom

It was my understanding, unless koush put a fix in recently, that CWM3 only works using the ext4 file system which isn't compatible with CM6 or stock-they use ext3.
What I'd suggest doing is
-downloading the most recent version of CWM3,
-flash that through fastboot,
-try to boot in to recovery,
-wipe the phone, and
-try manually flashing CM7 and then the gapps.
That should resolve everything. If it doesn't, let us know and we'll try something else. Good luck.

He supposedly did but if that's true then why in the world didn't he fix the sd-ext aspect. Still doesn't see the ext partition *sigh*. Anyway, even if he did fix it doesn't mean it will work for everyone, especially when dealing with wildly different file systems. Especially with how different each phone can be. It just means it should work - no guarantee. If everyone else's suggestions don't work (which they should), then use rom manager to download and flash the most recent 2.x clockwork.

Htc wildfire no functional

I have a HTC Wildfire v2.2.1 and tried to make him Alpharevx root method. After that I tried to put another room, the one here called CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Wildfire V7.0.3 (5 May 2011). Failed update and now my phone only opens up the boot menu and write this:
---AlphaRev---
BUZZ PUT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MICROP-0622
TOUCH-PANEL-SYN3KY_01
RADIO-3.35.20.10

Help me, what I can do to make it functional???
I am new to android. Please help me rewrite software or do not know them, but I want to go phone again.
Thank you in advance

Follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044

I followed exactly all the steps that, after that I wanted to put another room and now my phone only goes, do not understand? only opens in the boot menu
The phone no longer can open to enter the phone menu

Okay so what I'm getting from your post is that your phone only boots into HBOOT?
If so, do you have any options below such as Fastboot, Recovery,...?

I fastboot,recovery,clear storage and simlock
If you press the power on loading hboot I write something and it says no image or wrong image

if you get into recovery clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.6 i have the following options:
- reboot system now
- apply update from sdcard
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install zip from sdcard
- backup and restore
- mounts and sorage
- advanced
- power off

Place the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM ZIP file on your SD Card. Then in Recovery, Select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset". (Use Trackpad to select in Recovery, not the Power Key). Confirm it by saying Yes.
Then select "Install Zip from SDCard", and select the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM Zip file on your SD Card. It will install the ROM, and after install, select "Reboot System Now". It will boot into your new ROM installation.

I tried to put the original rum Froyo 2.2.1
r1-update-modacocustomrom-froyo-buzz-withadditions-signed.zip
and look what my friend writes:
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0
Gingerbread based recovery.

3xeno i will try and what you said

If still not solved, use different version of recovery. Upgrade to 3.1.0.2 or even 4.x recovery.
I think i heard similar issue with that recovery.

For installing cm7 you need 3.x or + recovery and for installing froyo roms you need 2.x recovery.

alright, I updated to 2.2 and I was going to make a backup.. but once I booted into stock recovery and tried to apply the update.zip I got this error
E:Can't mount /dev/block/vold179:9
(no such file in directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:bplib_delta_for_test.bin
then..

any help would be appreciated. I couldn't find a fix anywhere I read.
thanks in advance!

I have the same issue...

I had this error when I was using imnuts recovery kernel (correct button mapping i.e. camera button selects) so instead I odin'd (haha) adryn's test_2 kernel from the "official" thread (the screwy button mapping i.e. press the menu softkey area) and it fixed the problem xP
I posted what happened in the ec04 stock thread too
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App

i had this problem when i first upgraded to froyo, but i started from scratch which probably wasn't necessary, well here's what i did:
-i odin'd stock dl17 full odin package
-rebooted phone, let it do its thing
-i put the blue(cyan) cwm update.zip file and rom/kernel for froyo on my sd card
-odin'd froyo modem
-odin'd cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar
-went to recovery mode and fakeflashed update.zip(cwm)
-wiped data/cache/dalvik cache
-flashed froyo rom/kernel zip file
-wiped data/cache/dalvik cache again
and out of nowhere it all worked again. hmm....again most of these steps weren't necessary but i like to start out from scratch sometimes(bad habit)

thanks guys, all I had to do was use adrynalynes .tar in stead of imnuts. and it worked fine.

Can someone post the dl17 Odin files? All of the links I've found so far are dead.

small warning
I just wanted to put out a small warning to those trying to update to ec03: Do NOT use the yellow version of CWM to attempt a data wipe/factory reset before OR after installing ec03. It will hang on formatting /data and cause all sorts of headaches.
If you ARE stuck at formatting /data already and just found this forum:
hold vol up+down+power for about 3-5 seconds to reboot
get back into yellow CWM
ensure the usb is plugged in and go to storage and mounts
mount the USB storage
copy the cyan CWM update.zip from your computer.
install the update.zip (replacing the yellow cwm's update.zip)
hold vol up+down+power for about 3-5 seconds to reboot
voila, cyan cwm!
continue to do a data wipe/factory reset from inside cwm, ignore the error msgs since the actual sucess messages get hidden by the cwm menu when format is complete.
then reboot & enjoy ec03 froyo

Failed an installing ROM / CWM fail ....looking for guidance.

I managed to root correctly but when trying to install a custom rom via CWM I keep getting the following error
E: Cant mount /dev/....
E:/ can mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
My rom is on my SDcard and I loaded CWM via ODIN because ROManager wasn't working well.
What can I do to get this new ROM installed?

You don't need to root to install a rom.
Are you running stock OTA now I take it?
What ROM are you trying to flash?
The stock kernel reflashes the recovery every boot, so for your intial flash you need to ODIN the correct CWM Recovery, three finger into recovery. (If it boots without going to recovery, you have to start over and re-odin over the recovery). Then flash the rom you are trying to use.

Flash CWM in through Odin, directly after---> before you power up press both vol buttons and power button down to go to CWM.
Once there you go to install zip from sd card.

Actually, you only need to hold Volume Down. At least based on what I've experienced. Save the energy

I always hold all three down and let the Samsung flash once on the screen, never fails to enter recovery mode.
