clockwork recoverymod error - Legend General

YES. I know this question has been asked and answered many times. I've searched forums and google but none convincing answers.
I've installed latest ROM manager on my rooted phone runing on the ROM - Superuser,Keep It Simple.
I've also installed the Recovery image from the app itself.
Regardless of the option chosen, in this case, backup current ROM , the exclamation mark screen shows up.
I press VOL up + power. I get the error E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command and then the blue menu starts up.
I select "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and then the E:Signature verification failed.
Please help me out guys, Thanks!

You might need to push the recovery files back into your phone. This happened to me once, and all I had to do was push the files back into my phone using the tools given to me by theunlockr.com when I rooted my phone. I don't know if you rooted your phone with theunlckr.com or not but regardless here's what you do:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/ make sure you download ONLY the "Legend Rooting Tools" (Number III on the page) and ONLY that you don't need anything else. Unzip the Legend Root Folder in the root of C:/ Also please DO NOT follow the steps they mentioned as your phone is already rooted.
Here are the steps you should do:
1. Unzip the Legend Root Folder you downloaded to "C:/"
2. Go to the folder in the "C:/" it should be called "R4-legend-root"
3. Put your phone in recovery mode using the volume down + power and click "recovery" in the PHONE not the PC.
4. When you're on the red triangle of doom (Make sure you are!) click "Recovery-windows" in the PC (Again located in the r4-legend-root folder which you unzipped)
5. A black box should come up pushing the files to your phone
6. Your phone should be in recovery mode
7. You can now go into recovery mode freely using ROM Manager instead of the computer like I do.

Newbie Trying to Root and Unlock Phone

Hi,
I am a Canadian Newbie to Android and just purchased a Nexus S from Fido. I tried to Unlock and Root my phone using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970237
As I have a Mac, but got stuck on the 5th instruction. I rebooted my phone and now can't get my data connection. I am left scratching my head what I did wrong. Thank goodness I didn't brick the phone, but I need to find a way to get this working or least take me back to where I started.
Any assistance would be great,
I got back my data connection and the phone is unlocked. I just want some assistance with the rooting process.
I don't have a MAC, so i'm not sure how you would proceed. However, if you have access to a Windows based PC, follow the instructions for the i9023 phone to unlock the i9020a version of the device.
The issue with Fastboot is related to drivers and in windows, there is a bug in the driver INF file, so read the instructions carefully.
If it is already unlocked, you should be able to reboot back into recovery, flash clockwork and install superuser (without rebooting)
I would first boot into recovery and resume from step 6 in the guide you were going through..
Basically you want to get clockwork flashed so that way you can install the superuser zip file from the SD Card...
So I need continue to follow these instructions? When I open terminal and put in step 6 nothing happens, that's why I stopped in the first place. Sorry to be a pain, but I am really new to this platform.
6) Copy/paste the following into the Terminal window:
Code:
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash recovery ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
Hit "Return" again and wait for recovery to boot.
For the following steps while in Recovery, use "Volume Down" to highlight a selection and "Power" to choose that selection:
8) Choose "mounts and storage"
9) Choose "mount USB storage". Your phone should now be mounted on the Mac as a Device called "NO NAME"
10) Move the zip file "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" from the "adb-fastboot" folder to the "NO NAME" Device on you computer.
11) Eject/unmount your phone in the Finder on your Mac.
12) On your phone, choose "Unmount"
13) Choose "mount /system"
14) Choose "+++++Go Back+++++"
15) Choose "install zip from sdcard"
16) Choose "choose zip from sdcard"
17) Choose "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"
Is there anyone on this forum who lives in Toronto and is willing to meet up to show me how to do this? Please let me know.
Thanks!
if you are running fastboot your phone must be on the bootloader menu.
so, turn off your phone. press volume up and power. don't enter recovery.
while in this state, continue with step 6:
fastboot flash recovery crespo.img and then enter recovery (now with clockwork)
while in recovery, mount sdcard (menus), adb push su.zip and adb push any_rom.zip (like cm7.zip) and then, back on the phone, install zip from sdcard, choose zip... (still from recovery). install what you need. reboot. you're done.
After typing in the commands for step 6, if the terminal says something like 3042 kbs/sent in or out (not exactly those numbers), then that's about it. Just press the volume rocker to highlight Recovery, and press the Power button to select it to follow from there. It may look like the command didn't do anything, but it actually temporarily replaced your recovery image. It is important that you follow through from there without booting into your phone. If you boot into your phone before installing the SU package, you will need to do step 6 again because the phone will reinstall its own recovery image on boot.
Ok, thanks for the advice. I will do my best and come back if I hit any snags.
did you get it
I actually got some help from a friend, but am still having trouble learning this stuff. Still looking for someone in Toronto that I can meet up with to show me how this platform works.

think i bricked my nexus s please help

ok, i was running 2.3.3 on my ns and finally got it unlocked then i decided to go for it and root it. my biggest mistake was not backing up anything after the unlock and then when i was rooting the phone it got stuck in the google screen
now i can get to the bootload screen but when i go to update from sd; it takes me there but i have nothing to back it up from
ive been trying to figure out a way to load a recovery backup to sd but the pc will not read the sd card anymore...
how can i fix this or am i stuck with an expensive paper weight?
please help
Question: Do you have clockworkmod on it?
(I figure you unocked and roote via adb/Fastboot - but if you can do it some other way and you did here they are]
Get ADB and Fastboot - figure out how the commands work (from Terminal/console/Command Prompt).
U need to put the files u want to flash (*.imgs in the same place as fastboot/ADB unless you're good a remembering your paths, if you have OS X simply drag and drop commands and files into terminal)
See if you can find a clockwork recovery image,
Download a stock rom - report back
Basically:
fastboot flash boot example.img
Fastboot flash recover example-recovery.img
that should work. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
After flashing CWR, go to mounts and storage and select mount USB storage, from there you can access your sdcard and copy files over.
The USB storage might take a minute or so to show up on your computer, if you're on windows go to my computer and click refresh until it shows up.

Here are the steps to get your phone back up and working:
1.Download this platform-tools.zip and extract it to your desktop
2.Connect your phone to the PC and enter bootloader mode
3.Press and hold Shift while right-clicking the folder you extracted 'platform-tools'
4.Click 'Open command window here' from the pop-up menu. cmd.exe window will open.
5.If the Bootloader is Unlocked continue to the next step. Type in the cmd.exe window 'Fastboot oem unlock' and follow the steps on the phone screen.
6.Type in the cmd.exe window 'fastboot boot cwr.img'.Your phone will restart and enter ClockWork recovery(CWR).
6.In CWR navigate with the volume keys and highlight 'mounts and storage' and select it by pressing the power button.
7.Then navigate down and select 'mount USB Storage'
8.On your PC, go to 'My computer' and press the refresh button until a 'removable disk' drive appears.
9.Double click on 'removable disk', You now have access to your SDcard on your phone!
10.Copy over a flashable .Zip Rom to the SDcard that you want to install on your phone, ie. Stock 2.3.4: Link(only for i9020T and i9023, dont install if you have i9020A), CM7: Link, etc.
11.Select 'unmount' in CWR when done copying files over. Then 'Go Back' to go to the CWR main menu.
12.Select 'wipe data/factory reset' in CWR and confirm with 'yes'
13.Select 'install zip from sdcard', then select 'choose zip from sdcard', then select the zip file you want to install and confirm.
14.Wait until the Rom installation is complete, then 'select reboot system now'.
15.Your phone will reboot and be up and running! Custom Roms tend to take longer to boot so be patient.
Let me know what happens.

Are you using CM7 nightly? I think it has a USB mount bug and the google apps including market are not in the CM7 rom and have to be flashed separately from the rom.

USB Storage won't mount
The usb storage isn't showing up after I run cwm
Another restoration method you could try is using Odin to flash back to stock and retry the whole root process step by step ....I am on my phone right now so its hard for me to dig for threads but I know there are instructions and a stock Odin image floating about

yes, i can access clockwork mod also, but it the usb storage wont show up.....
Follow these instructions:
1. Slap self in head.
2. Power on phone while holding volume up&power button.
3. Now on the pc, Get the fastboot folder to the root of hard drive, I.E. C:\fastboot\. Also add to this folder your *.img files (radio, recovery, boot, system, data, etc.)
4. Open start menu.
5. In search box type cmd and press enter.
6. Now command window is open, type in that
cd C:\fastboot
fastboot flash * *.img
Replace the * with appropriate .imgs.
recovery, system, data, boot, radio.
Example
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Now that that is finished type
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
8. Now the phone will reboot. BE PATIENT AS THIS MAY TAKE UP TO TEN MINUTES TO FULLY REBOOT INTO ANDROID!!! Disturbing it in anyway can cause corruption. I had this happen to my phone before. Literally walk away and come back in ten. Don't touch it, don't breath on it nothing. If you have any further problems either post here or PM me. Getting the .img files and fastboot is up to you. By the previous replies you should have them already.

I think I had the same problem. first you need to check if your pc has the correct driver to accept the nexus s in bootloader mode. when that is done and you have colckword mod , you can but a custom rom on the sd card and flash that, then you'll be able to use your phone again.

1Click method mini tutorial

For all having problems making root/recovery/flash like I did I'm writing some things I did do get it going:
(1st time flashers) All the steps
On tattoo:
- Boot on your stock recovery and wipe cache then factory reset.
- Reboot
On PC:
- Install HTC Sync on your PC and optionally install Android SDK Tools. Update SDK Tools with SDK Manager.
- Download latest 1Click update by tenis and extract it to C:\ so you have rtattoo on hard disk root.
- Download the latest cyanogenmod and gapps for your device and put it on the root of your sdcard.
On tattoo:
- Select USB Debugging Mode ON to Application/Development
- Connect tattoo to PC and select HTC Sync
On PC:
- Try to run "adb devices" from (c:\rtattoo\adb.exe) on command prompt, it must show your device attached, if it says that adb is deprecated you can replace it with the one on SDK Tools you've installed
- Close terminal and hit rootTattoo on rtattoo folder.
- If it's showing a number on terminal the application found your CID, write it down or make a printscreen if you didn't a goldcard and want to make it later with your sdcard.
- Hit any key to start. It will run all the way without taking anymore action from you and it automatically reboots tattoo.
Now you have recovery installed.
- Turn off the phone.
- Press home button and without releasing it press power button and hold the two together until the clockworkmod recovery shows up.
- Select Backup to backup your current ROM, you will need it if you want to go to stock ROM
- Reboot if you want to make sure everything is OK and get into recovery again
- Select wipe cache/factory reset from the menu using your D-Pad.
( BE CAREFUL now, you should have your battery with a good amount of charge, make a full charge before just to be sure)
- After the wipe select update from zip file, go thru you card and select the cyanogenmod zip to flash your rom.
- After flash go back on the menu and select reboot device.
Wait patiently for the full boot, it can take several minutes, the rom is being configured.
After the android skater shows up wait a bit more and the operating system will start.
Don't rush into the phone once it gets started up, let it settles and start all services.
After that, since you are rooted, with recovery and flashed, the last thing is to reboot on recovery, select update from zip and hit the gapps zip file to get the google apps instaled (optional)
Thanks to:
- tenis that guide me thru the process and updated his thread to the latest clockworkmod
- maverick, kalim and everyone involved on this 1Click Procedure
And of course thanks to the cyanogen and clockworkmod developer teams
Have a nice android experience
Or you can download Universal androot and rom manager to have clockworck mod recovery in 2 steps...
Well you're right but that didn't work for me.
Androot OK, flashed by rom manager supposedly OK but, on boot clockworkmod never showed up.
1Click is an excellent alternative

Idiot proof root

Finally S-Off. Thanks to alpharev (generous donation on its way)
Now first problem;
I am the least tech savvy guy on the planet. If not, around London
As you see, the problem is me. So I need a genuine idiot proof step by step guide.
Can someone recap everything in a simple way please?
Backup, root, overclock etc...
Anyone who helps will receive a guaranteed prayer from a religion of their choice
download eclair rom from shipped roms, install it, then download unrevoked, root with it and youll get custom recovery also with unrevoked, after that follow some other guides how to properly flash a custom rom thru that recovery.
(before the rooting part, install htc sync to get all the needed drivers. WARNING: before using unrevoked to root the device, uninstall just htc sync but everything else that was installed with it - leave it installed. btw im atheist )

The phone is not rooted. ROMs are rooted. You can very well follow that guide, but, I used Fastboot to install ClockWorkMod Recovery (Which is having all those options you are listing - ie Nandroid, Install ZIP From SDCard etc).
The Fastboot method needs just one command to install Clockworkmod Recovery, but needs to have Android SDK installed. If you are willing to do that:
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff:

long winded way of doing it
we need a step by step with pics or at least a video on youtube, theres nothing there at teh moment.
Once you have S-OFF follow these steps:
1. Get fastboot.exe, CWM and the su binary from the attachment below, make sure you extract the archives.
2. Download Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install SDK to C:/, place fastboot.exe and the recovery.img in android-sdk/platform-tools
3. Shut down phone, get into bootloader (volume down + power button)
4. Select FASTBOOT using volume keys, press power button (you are now in fastboot mode)
5. Connect phone to computer, select disk drive.
6. Open cmd, type cd C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
7. now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img" (no quotes)
8. Now you should have Clockworkmod installed, but still no root so:
9. Copy su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed to sdcard.
10. Get into bootloader again, select recovery.
11. Select "install zip from sdcard", confirm with trackball.
12. Scroll down to su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed, confirm the install, now you are rooted!
13. Do a nandroid backup from clockworkmod.
14. Repeat steps 9-12 but use the ZIP of ROMs, Kernels or Radio if you wish. Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom (ty calyxim ^^)
Complete list for ROMs/Kernels/Radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
I hope this is clear enough?
Thanks mate. Worked wonders. In what religion would you like your prayers?
I would like to make an addition to step 14; Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom
This is the most idiot proof way i could find, and that i could use lol..... big props to Nejc121
nejc121 said:
Okay, it took me some trying and stuff but I finaly found a way!
Okay, this is going to be simple step-by-step
FirsT: Copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790
Second: Go into HBOOT and click yes when it asks you to update (note: Please make sure your SD card is FAT32 and not FAT, it must be FAT32 for this step to work.
Third: Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
Fourth: Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
Fifth: Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that)
Sixth: Click choose zip from sdcard
Seventh Locate your zip and let it update
AND YOU'RE DONE!
Have fun being free!
If you're having problems with the HBOOT not detecting the .zip update, please check if you SD card is FAT32.

installing and uninstalling htc sync helps. just to extract drivers I suppose...
Clockwork mod doesn't work properly for me. Whenever I select any option the menu disappears and the background just sits there. I can click really fast and it will just reappear and disappear rapidly.
Fix?

That wait is normal if it below 2-3 min. But if it takes longer u should check the drivers.
That wait generally occurs if u connect the device after entering the command (happens to me everytime). If it is so, shouldn't disconnect the device and wait for a while till it detects.
If it is not so and wait is longer, then go for reinstalling the drivers.

This occurs when pressing vol down + power on a full booted phone.
U should not do this. Switch off the device and then hold vol down + power. There goes into hboot mode. And for that recovery installation u should go into fastboot mode though from there.
as it was now clear, the waiting shouldn't be there now. Enter fastboot mode and try it

bootlooped & os wiped :( help pretty please

edit 3:
1a) i still can't find my /sdcard on my laptop's "my computer"... it recognizes the android device, but nothing shows up as the nexus internal sdcard drive.
2a) still not rooted
3a) need lte radio...so i'll go read up on that
edit 2: SOLVED!!! (i can't edit the title bar) but 4.2.2 os is back
edit 1:
ok, guys, a little help here please. i posted in a couple of threads but got no response...so if you can please offer advice, i'd appreciate it...worse case scenario, i'll have to pay a craiglister to help me...but i would rather do it myself. i'll try to explain and provide as much info as possible to seek your advice.
i followed the directions in one of the video/thread, but i am stuck on boot loop (google screen, then X screen forever, os hosed/wiped)
i am reading efrant's thread...but it says i need to enable usb debugging...which i can't since my os is wiped...
successful:
1) i can get into "bootloader"/"start screen" w/ open-chested android (no red exclamation point)...that has fastboot mode
2) unlocked the bootloader
3) installed CWM v6.0.3.5 & accessible
4) my winxp 32bit recognizes the nexus as "android device" under device manager, but i can't find the /sdcard
unsuccessful:
5) i wiped the OS, so CANNOT get back in to enable "USB DEBUGGING"
6) i have no nandroid backup
7) i am unrooted (since i can't get into the os to put in superSU)
8) can't find the /sdcard even though the laptop recognizes the android device.
9) don't have adb installed yet, just the drivers
so where do i go from here?
10) do i need to install adb and push the rom?
11) do i fastboot cmd line it?
12) how do i move the 4.2.2 rom over if i can't see the nexus' internal sdcard on my laptop? nothing shows up under "my computer" even though the android device is recognized.
thank you all for your help and advice. will check back periodically when i get wifi access...(nexus was my only net connection...so i am hosed to say the least)
This is what you need to do:
1. Setup adb.
2. Download ROM: here or here.
3. Boot the phone into cwm (hold volume down + power, use volume keys to highlight recovery mode, then power to select it). Use this command to copy the rom to the phone:
Code:
adb push nameofROM.zip /sdcard
4. In cwm choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partititon, advanced>wipe dalvik cache, install zip from sdcard, look for the rom you pushed, select it, and flash it.
successful thank you all
haha, thanks chromium... i just read the same reply from another post was going to do the adb push, but
i just tried efrant's long way again using fast boot and it is successful ... the directions about unzipping was a bit unclear but did it anyways and it works now. thank chromium for your reply.
but i still can't find my /sdcard in "my computer" w/ the nexus hooked up...???
