[Q] Problems loading from clockworkmod

Hey everyone,
I just loaded the latest tranquility and im loving it. i have a question though. ive been trying to load some custom tweaks, themes (specifically Gala X Theme 1.6.1) from clockworkmod and when it reboots to load the "rom" I get the Exclamation point/android icon. i click the home button and what it says, right after verifying update package..., is e:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument), E:signature verification failed, installation aborted. i can then reboot into tranquility. Am i doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance! Also, off the topic of clockwork, is there any way to set your own sounds for notifications?

Probably what's going on is you're not booting into clockwordmod. Sometimes the bootstrapper doesn't take. Try re-running the bootstrapper and then trying again.
You might also try re-downloading the file if that doesn't work after retrying the bootstrapper.

Its rebooting into clockwork recovery. At least that's what it says on the top of the screen. I also have bootstrap. I tried to install the package manually from clockwork recovery and it said e:signature verification failed. I know you can either boot into bootstrap recovery or recovery using clockworkmod. Would trying to install from bootstrap recovery change anything? Basically what I've been doing is going into clockworkmod, download rom section, download what I want, tell it to install and it fails. Also can I install these mods/roms Manually? Im still learning btw so thanks everyone for their help!

Try using the bootstrap recovery option in bootstraper then going to rom manager and downloading it and installing, seems like you have to hit the bootstrap recovery after every reboot

thanks guys! i ended up getting it to work. i just loaded the roms manually by booting into recovery using bootstrap instead of trying to do it automatically with clockworkmod rom manager. i probably shouldve mention rom manager up there cuz thats the program i was actually having trouble with. so i got everything i wanted installed manually and estoy happy! thanks guys for your replies and help!

can't install ROMS...

Whenever I try to install a ROM I get the following error...
When installing with ROM Manger
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.6
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /cache/update.zp
(Status 0)

When booting directing into clockwork recovery through Droid X Bootstrap
--Installing: SDCARD:ROMNAME
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

This happened regardless of ROM, where I get the ROM where it's stored on the device or SD card. I have unrooted the phone and re-rooted and still get the same problems. Any clues?

Double check the options in clockwork... Without rebooting my phone right now, I can't remember where it is, but possibly try turning off signature verification... if that didn't work, myself, and anyone else who tries to help erl probably need more information such as: what are you trying to flash, where you got the update.zip, etc.

Two things I would try.
1. settings>applications>All tab>clear cache. try again...
2. as above but delete recovery tool >full reboot> reinstall recovery tool .try again
also in recovery of course your using "install zip from sdcard" option.
Is the allow third party app option checked in settings>apps.
Just trying to offer some simple things that came to mind .Hope one of them helps.

No Nandroid backup option

hey guys.
i searched the forums, maybe not hard enough but here goes.
forgot when i rooted the phone, maybe in november. have rom manager, titanium manager, etc...havent put any roms yet but when I go into recovery, i have no option to nandroid backup.
the only four options i have are:reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
i also have a
E: cant open /cache/update.zoip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
while im in recovery. any help would be appreciated!

You need to install Clockwork in the Rom Manager App. After that, reboot into recovery and click reinstall packages (sometimes it takes a few times of clicking reinstall packages).

thanks. i updated rom manager and after a few tries installing packages, was finally successful!
thanks

Is your update.zip on your internal sd card? It can't be in any folder..

that update.zip is nowhere in the card as far as I can see... what is that file about? where I can find it? maybe was created when I tried to root the phone (DEfy) z4root didnt work and I finally used superone click... is that update file created by the superoneclick??

Ok. You are aware your in the Samsung Vibrant section?

ups, very sorry about it... that is why nothing was matching...
sorry greg, I dont bother you any more, i will search in the right location.
thanks a lot

Plus that update.zip you posted was for a full rom. Thats not the file used to root the phone.

Random, but did you flash the correct modem first?

Are you sure that you are in clockwork recovery and not the Samsung recovery? Have you flashed the correct clockwork through Odin? You need to have the odin flashed clockwork recovery to be able to install test zips. If you are trying to flash a froyo rom you will need to flash the red (voodoo) clockwork recovery.
Can you describe what steps that you have taken when clockwork was installed and what Rom you are trying to download/install. Thanks!

Install ROM abort
Frustrated and bummed. Would it cause problems or damage my phone to root phone again and re-install Odin 1.3, ClockWork Mod Recovery (voodoo or non voodoo?)? Already installed ROM Manager Premium and Titanium Back-up from Mkt.
Lost!

Why don't you just do the all in one eb01 Odin? Then you don't have to even mess with clockwork, it's super easy. Look for it in the development section

I have put the phone in boot mode. Done the wipe data/ Factory Reset option....all is good.
I then go to apply sdcard:update.zip and am met with the following message.
E:can't open /cache/recovery/command

You need to use the 2nd Init installer APK, it sounds like your flashing using stock recovery! read this incredibly helpful guide.

Follow this step. Since you have already rooted your phone.
Download the 2ndint from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12837303
download version 2.0, people say 2.3 din work for some.
Install the apk file.
open there app.
Click on install 2int boot.
Then reboot to recovery if you see a option.
If not reboot the phone, when you see a blue LED notification light ob start up, press the volume down button. This will take you to cwm recovery.
Wipe data/factory.
wipe cache.
Advanced - Wipe dalvik cache.
Install zip from sd card.
choose the rom, flash it.
Choose the gapps. flash it.
Wipe data/factory.
wipe cache.
advanced - wipe dalvik cache.
Reboot ICS
And hey you have downloaded ICS Rom and Jelly Bean gapps which won't work. so download ICS gapps from goo.im
