I have rooted my magic and have been trying to install CyanogenMod but I can't. This is what I have done so far.
1) Rooted the phone using Superoneclick. This was a success and I got superuser
2) I then installed mod manager and downloaded cyanogenmod
3) I chose to install cyanagen made a backup and wiped data
4) The phone restarted but hung on the red vodafone flash screen, it stayed this way for over 20mins
5) I got the phone working again but messing around with the battery turning it on and off
6) I then thought to install the mod from recovery and so I booted into recovery but I was met with a triangle and exclamation mark with a phone lying on the side
7) I got through this by holding home and power
8) I got into recovery but now I can't install because when I go to apply sdcard:update.zip I get the message E:signature verification failed Installation aborted
I have the update.zip in the root of the sdcard but nothing works. What can I do next? I have also tried to install custom recovery using this guide but when inputting this command: adb push C:\roottools\3.22Radio\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img /sdcard
I get the message that it failes because sd card is a directory. Any suggestions as to what I can do would be most appreciated.

Hello,
First of all, I tried to search, but all solutions found did not work.
Now, the problem: I can't boot to ClockWorkMod Recovery anymore (version 2.5.0.7.). The phone just goes to the dreaded Red Triangle with the Exclamation sign. I tried Power + Volume Down, then to recovery, I get and error: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
I tried to reflash the ClockworkMod recovery from the ROM Manager menu, but it didn't solve the problem.
Thank you for any suggestions.
After the E:Can't open... message appears, wait for a while, and a blue menu appears. There choose "Apply sdcard: update.zip" (which, I believe, is there if you flashed CWM), and that should launch recovery mode.
At least that works for me. Good luck!
Thank you, it works. I then rebooted it and all is ok. Still when tried to access recovery via ClockWorkMod it doesn't work. Any ideas?
What do you mean by "recovery"? CWM recovery screen? You said that it works, after applying the update.zip that should bring you to recovery screen.
The update.zip will not flash your recovery partition. You need S-OFF and to use ADB to flash a new one.

I had the same thing, used "Fix Permissions" from within ROM Manager, then reflashed clockwork
let me know if this works for you too
Having read the various forum postings here and on modaco site, I have a problem that I'm not managing to resolve regarding flashing my Gen 1 OSF with stock Orange 2.1 to a different rom.
Hoping one of the gurus/techs/wizards here could help? Please?
Here's what I did:
1. Rooted using Universal Androot including SuperUser
2. Used Rom Manager to flash ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Clicked on the backup current ROM button
Here's what happened:
1. Device rebooted once, came to green android screen and booted up very quickly, no backup on SD card
2. Using Rom Manager, tried to reboot into recovery, get 'An error occured attempting to run privileged commands!' message
3. Using Rom Manager, tried to flash new rom from SD card, get 'An error occured attempting to run privileged commands!' message
4. Tried to do a factory reset, device reboots, gets to green android screen (probably fails to get into recovery mode), reboots again and loads up as normal. Unable to factory reset
5. Tried to reboot with volume- into recovery mode. As long as volume- pressed, endless cycle of rebooting to green android screen - presumably can't get into recovery mode.
6. Tried to reboot with volume+, device boots up normally, Can't get into fastboot
7. Tried Recovery Manager, but App won't load with 'The application Recovery Manager (process com.podtwo.RecoveryManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close'. Keeps crashing and won't load.
Now stuck with device I can't update the ROM on and can't restore to factory settings.
Any suggestions as to how I could do either flash a new ROM or restore the stock ROM to factory settings, would be gratefully appreciated.
Is there any software I could use to restore to factory settings? Is there any other way of flashing the Swedish Spring RLS5 ROM?
Look forward to hearing your advice/comments/suggestions. Many thanks in advance (otherwise I'm forced to go back to my WinMo 6.1 device!)
UPDATE: problem solved by flashing clockworkmod image file using recovery manager.
Do you have more in depth instructions? I'm having the same problem on my San Francisco.

The method as you tryed is stock recovery, if you try to enter CWM recovery
after rooted, you must install Defy system recovery
- put system recovery.apk into SD card
- enable(Turn on) Unknown sources and USB debugging in Application settings
- install system recovery.apk from SD card (Use File manager or Root Explorer)
- Open System recovery App and Select Install Recovery system, it will show "Install success"
- Before reboot (Recovery reboot), you must Turn off "USB debugging"
Otherwise, defy will stuck in black screen
OK, If you want to reboot to CWM recovery mode, you can open System recovery App and Select Recovery boot
or Try that

Sir can you share the system recovery file download link...
So is there a way to boot into custom recovery with phone being off? What if a flash goes wrong and stuck with boot loop. How do you get into custom recovery to to restore backup?

What I always do when I flash something and it goes wrong is enter bootloader mode and flash a new sbf. I'm fairily sure to do that you hold power and volume up while booting.

I mistakenly rebooted after wiping cache,dalvik cache and sytem. Now I'm stuck at the moto logo. Is there any way to enter into custom recovery other than the flashing method you specified above?? I was using SlimBean(Slim-4.3.build.2-UNOFFICIAL-2013027-1124) with TWRP v2.6.3.0.

I have a mytouch 3g, 32B. I rooted with superoneclick, went fine. Downloaded rom manager and did a recovery, the latest version. Download a rom through Rom Manager, goes to recovery page, click update and then nothing happens. I have been reading for 5 hours and cannot get this. Please help
I should clarify. It will not go into Clockwork mod recovery.
Did you try manually? Turn phone off, then turn on by pressing Home + Power.
P.s. you can try flash_image method too

I have tried to manually as well. Shouldn't it be as easy as download a Rom, name it update.zip and apply update at the recovery page? When I do that i get "failed to verify whole-file signature" "signature verifiication failed Installation aborted"
This is a Cyanogenmod ROM downloaded through ROMmanager.
Confusing a little...
Test custom recovery: turn phone off then turn on by pressing Home + Power
If you will see triangle with '!' - you have stock recovery
With stock recovery you can not flash any custom ROMs.
If you have stock recovery then RomManager did something wrong
But you can flash manually (as i posted before)
Last night I got KitKat OTA tried to install on Nexus 10, failed and got stuck at that boot screen with the circles. Tried to sideload still failed with some error 7. Tried to flash stock recovery over clockwork, failed the first time, said bootloader ok on the second and now when I boot recovery I just get an icon of the android on his back with the panel open. I just want to install 4.4 please what the hell do I do?
Thanks.
Download nexus 10 toolkit and flash 4.4.

If you do not need to keep your data, just grab the factory image here and extract and run the bat file.
If you can get to the stock recovery and still want to sideload the OTA, once you are the dead droid recovery, press Volume up and power at the same time and then select the "Apply Update from adb" and follow the instructions from the orange text that will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Be sure you have adb installed on your pc and that you can fastboot to your device.
Good luck.
