[Q] How to Fix my Droid? Compilation of errors - Droid X General

So I have a compilation of three issues that I've found on the forums but after two days, of researching and troubleshooting, no luck so hoping someone out there has had a chance to fix this and can share their knowledge.
Here's what I've done so far:
Ran Super One Click to root and worked
Flashed bootloader 30.04
Booted to "critical error 1337 510b"
RSD flashed to VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf (Happy_Holidays_From_TBH.zip) using RSD Lite 4.8
RSD flashed to SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf (SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.zip)
Lost root so tried Super One Click - wouldn't work
Installed Koush Bootstrap recovery
Installed and successfully rooted with z4root
Tried installing to C_01.43.01P.zip from Peter Alfonso and fails with error in list below
So here are the three errors I'm getting now and haven't been able to find a fix to any of them. I'm thinking it's possible permission issues on my device. I ran the Fix Permissions options from ROM Manager but it didn't help.
When I reboot into recovery mode, get error: "e: can't open /cache/recovery/command"
When try to install baseband update and says"Writing RDL/BP image... E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 0) Installation Aborted"
Tried flashing a few other SBF's and about 10 seconds into each, DX shows error "critical error 1337 510b" and flash never moves ahead
Here are some of the items I've tried and none of them have helped:
Rename to update.zip
Install using built in recovery
Installed ROM Manager
Installed ClockWork
Battery pull
Wipe cache (several times)
Install package with DroidExplorer
This list could go on and on an on - I've been working on this for two days
EDIT: Realized I hadn't upgraded the kernel from TBH so I just installed it and it worked properly, but still doesn't fix above issue when trying to update my baseband.
The good news is that I took a backup using ClockWork and I've restored it a half dozen times over past few days (so that I could actually leave the house and use my phone) so my phone is working, I just can't do any more flashing
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Been a few days and no replies. Very uncommon for this forum. Did I post in the wrong area? or not follow forum rules? Or I'm just an idiot? I've tried formatting all partitions (except for sdcard) and get "Error formatting boot partition". All other partitions format correctly but still can't install the latest baseband. The only thing that still works is flashing sbf of VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf and SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf to get back to stock and restore my latest backup. Please help, I would really like to get the latest baseband installed.

I've been told that C_01.43.01P is only for original Droid, not the X - which is why it wouldn't work.

Go to the Droid X Android Development subforum and look at my thread for the update zip. Its a zip you download and flash through clockwork to upgrade and /or fix issues with the latest OTA. That should fix you right.

Failed to verify whole-file signiture

Hi all, I screwed up running an update to my ROM, recovered through Odin (again ha), flashed back to stock, rooted successfully, and installed Clockwork, but whenever I try flashing my ROM through ROM Manager, the phone reboots right, then gives me the "E: failed to verify whole-file signiture E: Signiture verification failed"
I just want to get back on BlackHole :\ I searched around but either people figured it out and didnt explain, or the problems variables were too far apart from mine. I have tried removing and reinstalling clockwork, and I have tried redoing the entire process to the same result.
Any insight?
I want to add that I'm not flashing Clockwork through Odin, because the files aren't available on the forum anymore. Is this the error?
You need to flash the cwrecovery.tar file, which enables you to flash zips signed with test keys. Look in the thread about flashing clockwork on win/*nix.

You're doing it right, just missing one step. Installing clockwork mod through rom manager only downloads the update.zip file for it to your sdcard, you have to flash the cwm compatible stock recovery through odin. the file can be found here:

Excellent, I figured as much but since I couldn't find it anywhere I assumed it had been changed.
BEAUTIFUL. Thank you. Looking forward to running your 3.0. I was on 1.4 or something.

[Q] Trying to upgrade to rooted .596 but nothing but errors - please help

ok ive tried everything in the sticky thread regarding reverting back to froyo using the 2.3.34 SBF file. i flash the file, root, and use the bootstrap to load the Blur_Version.2.3.340 Part 1 and Part 2 files from the sticky thread, but i get the following error.
Verifying Current System....
assert failed: apply_patch_check (/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk)
then gives a bunch of numbers....then shows the sd file i was trying to apply with "Status 7) Installation Aborted.
i figured the SBF was bad so i redownloaded it from somewhere else, same errors. i even tried to load up the 3 parts to GB .588 hoping to then goto .596, same error.
finally i installed maderstcok340 update file using recovery. everything worked and i was able to install the GB updates. but once i rebooted the phone after it said everthing was successful, it loads into the bootloader screen and wont let me out of it.
im so frustrated. does ANYONE have any idea why this isnt working???
SBF to 2.3.340 (Froyo), root, install Droid 2 Bootstrapper, then install the two part 596 rooted build.
I recommend using Linux to SBF. There's a bootable disc floating around the forums somewhere that you can use. Just Google for it.
Root using Z4root, then install the Droid 2 Bootstrapper application. Be sure that it is the DROID 2 version. The Droid X version doesn't work with Gingerbread.
Lastly, you need to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do this open the Droid 2 Bootstrapper application and select the top button, when it gives you the success message press the reboot button to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
Lastly lastly, wipe data, then install both part one and part two of the Gingerbread zip files. NOTE: You must install both the zip files one right after the other, if you leave recovery before flashing part two you will have to SBF.
Completely lastly, reboot the phone, and if you bootloop boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache.
Hope this helps ^_^

ive done all of this. my problem is after i SBF, root and load the bootstrap, the install of the zip gives me the error seen above in bold. i cant get past the installation. is something wrong with the SBF??
i finally got it to work. the SBF i downloaded was bad. i found a new file and used it, now its working just fine.

HELP!!! Cannot run a Nandroid backup.

android noob here, just converted to the Vibrant from blackberry not long ago. i'm no stranger to modding phones, did some OS updates on my BB, but now i'm perplexed.
I was gonna try and throw a custom ROM on my Vibrant, but i've hit a speed bump. i'm rooted (via superoneclick), i installed ROM manager, and i flashed the current ClockworkMod recovery (2.5.1.2) but i cannot get it to make a backup. when i boot into recovery mode the only options available are these:
-reboot system now
-reinstall packages
-delete all user data
-delete cache data
-format internal sd card
i think this is the stock recovery, so for some reason it's not recognizing the CWM recovery.
i keep trying "reinstall packages" (at least 15-20 times) but every time i do i get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I've confirmed that the update.zip file exists and is on the internal memory card. I've tried older versions of CWM. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager several times. I'm at a loss at this point.
Also, not sure if it's related, but when i hit the "Fix Permissions" command in ROM Manager it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Is this relevant?
HELP!
Thanks!
sounds to me that you have stock recovery. one that says 3e instead of 2e. If thats the case you do not have root. you need to flash a kernel that has the 3e to 2e fix.
check out this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&page=18.
i'll give this a shot, thanks. hopefully it's not above my level of knowledge!
my phone is making a nandroid backup as i'm typing this! thank you again!

So... that must have been the problem ! glad I could help.
I greatly appreciate it, thank you.
Embarrassingly enough, I believe the issue was that I didn't have Busybox installed. I did the 3e to 2e fix with no luck, did some more reading and realized I didn't have busybox, so I installed that, redid the 3e to 2e fix, and voila, the green menu appeared. Getting ready to flash a custom ROM now
haven't decided between nero or bionix.
Have you considered looking at Miui or cm7. these are both gingerbread based roms. If you want to stay on a 2.2 I suggest an EDT Rom like project V.

Getting ClockWorkMod to work

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to get clockwork installed on a rooted stock firmware vibrant for a friend. Using ROM manager i've tried to install CWM and it says it is successful, however after trying to reboot into recovery and choosing re-install packages I get these errors:
E:Failed to verify Whole File Signature
E:signature verification failed
Installtion aborted
I tried flashing Vibrant (MTD) Clockwork Recover 3.x from ROM manager but it does the same thing.
Also tried the AIO tool from the sticky in the dev section and it doesn't work either. I chose the custom ROM but it doesn't push it to the phone or reboot it into recovery. (The install drivers option gave me a windows unhandled exception error)
I downloaded Heimdall but am not sure how it's used, can it flash any ROM or only specially formatted ones?
I've been searching these forums for a few days now and finding so much new and old processes to do things and I'm not very familiar with Samsung phones so any help is appreciated. Thank-you.
Re-Root it
Re-root the phone using One-click, when Baywolfs fails, one click always does it because it push's it through using ADB
CWM wont work unless the phone is proper ROOTED, youll know when its done right, cause youll see the super=user App after your done
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
After that, un-install Rom manager, then re-install it, then while your connected to WIFI or provider, make sure you flash CWM recovery,
Re- download the ROM again, but dont open it!!
Then when you are ready to flash that ROM as a zipped file, DO NOT open it [ meaning UNZIP] or you'll continue to get the signature error.
Then either flash using reboot into recovery or install using CWM option of sd card install, either or works!! .
Are you having trouble getting past the stock 3e recovery? I've been trying to get past it for a few days but have been poking around learning the in/outs of this. I have not yet gotten Rom Manager to properly flash CWM Recovery... the stock 3e is stubborn. Once CWM recovery is done, your options open up for backups, restores and installing some custom roms.
I don't know what the solution is but I'm still looking around.
Hope this was on track...
Its stuborn in the sense its picky about free space. You'll need to free up some room in order to use CWM. Reference this thread for guidance -

E: signature verification failed Installation aborted

I have a Sprint 7 Tab running EF17, Firmware v. 2.3.4 and Kernal 2.6.35.7.
Long ago I rooted the Tab and installed Root Explorer, Rom Manager and Titanium RootPro, all without any problems at all. When I use Rom Manager, it states I have Clockworkmod version 2.5.1.2 (which might be the problem).
I wipe Dalvik and factory reset. No matter which version I try to flash, the update process starts and sates "Verifying update package..." then I get the signature verification failed message.
I spent a couple of hours in this forum trying to find out what I was doing wrong and it seems either I have too old a version of CWM or my SDCARD is somehow corrupt.
If the problem is the version of CWM, is there a simple way to update it? I tried to use Heimdall to update the kernal. Zadig recognizes the Tab when shut off, but when I put the Tab into downloading mode and list devices, the Tab does not show up.
If the problem is the SDCARD is corrupt, what next?
The Old version CWM was the problem. For some reason my old 32 Laptop would not install Heimdall so I tried a new 64 windows machine and I installed the new kernal. The install then went fine.
Unless there is a belief that this post might help another user, please delete this post.
