I have a rooted phone with the clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.5. I just received the firmware update from T-Mobile today, but it is failing to update to it.
When I selected to update the phone rebooted after a minute or so, I'm assuming to finish the firmware update. Then the phone booted back up it had a load bar that finished half way and then stopped on a screen with a triangle with a exclamation point on it. When I back out it goes to the cloackworkmod recovery screen and it says:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Now when reboot my phone it starts up normally for a few seconded and then automatically reboots trying to do the update again.
How do I update to the new T-Mobile firmware on a rooted phone?
Having exact same problem. I tried autostarts/watchdog/advanced task killer but cannot find process that is rebooting phone. I knew it was a bad idea to just drink the cool-aid.
I found some threads where users of other phones had issues after killing bloatware, but I don't think that's the case here...
How to update (YOU WILL LOSE ROOT)
You will lose data on the phone but data on sdcard will be fine. If you have s-off you shouldn't lose it or at least I didn't
1. Download the PD15IMG.zip file posted by Gr33nF0x http://megaupload.com/?d=N8XGHXJC
2. Put file on the root of your sdcard (do not rename it, leave it zipped, and don't put it in any folder)
3. go to settings/applications make sure fastboot is unchecked (on 2.2.1)
4. power off
5. push and hold volume down and power till you get into hboot
6. it will scan file when its done it should ask you to update push volume up

Ok, I followed your directions and worked... but it did reset my phone to factory default even though I have s-off.
So it still looks like all the data is on my SD card, and I'm assuming that it is all still on the internal storage as there is only 1.05GB are which is a little more than I had before the update, but well under the total 8GB(internal).
So my question is, is there any way to get my data to show back up on the phone like a kind of resync or something?
Or a the very least resync my contacts from my google account... not sure how to do that, but from what I've heard Android automatically backs up some of your data to your google account and you can resync it on new or reset phone.

Thats what i meant by losing your data on your phone, but the plus side is you can downgrade with the 2.2.1 PD15IMG file and you can flash clockwork recovery because you still have s-off and yes that means you can flash roms to

I think I would be fine with just resyncing my contacts(don't know how) and just re-installing all my apps. Is it possible to resync my contacts?

So running the clockwork recovery will make all my data show up? Will it not work to just run clockwork recovery on the current OS 2.3.4?

How to flash clockwork recovery with 2.3.4 with s-off

ok so i unrooted my phone to stock then used kitchen to auto root it and all worked great. then I put the recovery 1.5.3 i think it was on my root of sd card, and also had fresh 1.1 on it as update.zip
but everytime I apply it i get errors, now EVERYTHING works but I dont have service and settings force close.
should I wipe then install 1.1. or just upgrade from stock wen its rooted?
or maybe try 1.0 first with clean install or wipe?
thanks
If I were you, do this. RUU the phone to put it back to complete stock settings. Then, run the Auto-rooter in the Pre-Kitchen. This will put it to the latest recovery image. Then, just flash Fresh 1.1 to it, and then you'll be up to date.
you flash the recovery image dif then as if you were flashing a rom
wait so put recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2 on the root of card and change name to update and apply that, then delete that off root of card, put on fresh 1.1 rom and name it update then flash that?
can I do a clean install? or just update?
1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for).
2. Write down the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written (i.e. RA-Hero-Recovery-v1.2.2.img).
3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).
4. Download Terminal from the Market if you don’t already have it and install it (there are a few different terminals in the Market ,
5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
6. In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).
7. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

on another note you should change the title of this thread to user confusion has nothing to do with fresh rom ....might be confusing to some
As opposed to posting it in the FreshROM thread, had it really been a FreshROM issue.

I know that you know that the auto rooter does all of that for you.
No renaming RA to update.zip or anything like that. RUU to get your phone back to stock. Then run the auto-rooter. This gives you a stock but rooted phone, with RA as your recovery image. You will then be able to install fresh rom. That's all!

didnt want to confuse him anymore then he already is
ok did RUU and the kitchen and did auto rooter. running 1.5.2.
Just downloaded fresh 1.1
going to put it into the root of sdcard and rename the fresh rom to, "update"
then power down phone, power back on and ok should I wipe phone then apply update zip
or
not wipe and just apply zip?
then once I apply just then choose reboot and basically thats
You don't need to wipe. RUU puts your phone back to bone stock.
You shouldn't need to rename FreshROM to update either.
ohh, ok that was my biggest problem i think, im used to my g1 and i always renamed the rom to update.zip
so keep it fresh-cdma-hero-1.1
and apply update
This update.zip will flash clockwork recovery, overwriting the need/ability to use the stock recovery folder with command in it.
For advanced users only.
v.8 Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w
The credit for this all goes to Bekit for the biggest step forward on the Gtablet, and obviously Koush for the custom recovery to begin with. Roebeet packaged this update.zip.
Instructions:
1) Unpack download to root of sdcard. (Internals /sdcard, NOT /sdcard2)
2) Start tablet while holding volume + and power. (Let go when you see text come up saying entering recovery)
3) You will see a short installation and it will reboot.
4) Check the install by powering off, the powering on with volume+ and power
5) You should be greeted by a menu with Clockworkmod at the top
i have been using clockwork on my gtablet for several days now. it backs up and restores just like i would expect it too.
well done as usual.. props for all involved.
Works great no problems at all !!!
wishlist:
1. add SDCARD2 to the mount and storage section.
2. ... wait that is it.!
Should I be able to take this file and rename to update.zip, put it in the root of "sdcard" internal space, put the recovery folder in root directory too and then boot up with power + volume up to install this?

Or just extract the zip file supplied in the first post onto the sd card. Everything will go into its place. Then boot from recovery using power and volume+.
So, if I place the cwm update.zip and recovery folder in the root of sdcard (internal), then when I boot into recovery, CWM will show up instead? Just want to know if it really is that simple. Also, if I want to flash a new ROM (Like the zpad one), do I simply place the update.zip from that rom anywhere other than the root of "sdcard", and flash using CWM?
One last question, if I delete the CWM update.zip, is it like CWM was never placed on my g tab?
Am I the only one having trouble getting cwrecovery on the root of sd card? cant get this to run. i am a visual learner and reading how to do all this is helping me very little. if anyone would be willing to do a video or reference me to a link so i can learn to do all this, i would appreciate greatly. this is very frustrating tab stock!
hey this might help you get it installed..
plug your gtablet into your computer, then on the gtablet, click the "enable usb storage connection" button
then on your pc, open windows explorer, and open removeable drive F, the letter may be different for you.. it should show 13gb free on it, and there should be an android folder and a dcim folder.. that's the root of the storage inside the tablet.. it's the same as sdcard.. unzip the clockworkblahblah.zip to the root/top level directory of that removeable drive. then turn the tablet off. and then hold down the volume + button while powering it back on, it should install the clockworkmod recovery manager.. that's about it
jw52637 don't feel bad... I'm a visual learner as well.
uncola,
I followed your instructions and I saw the update install on boot up. Now I'm lost. I expected to see and application named ClockworkMod Recovery or something like that... but I did not. How do I know it is installed and how do I use it to back up my stock ROM? Also, do I remove the "update.zip" from the root directory or just leave it there?
Sorry for the questions but I want to learn how to do this so I can stop bothering you guys.

ClockWorkMod Recovery is the recovery system...so you have to boot your tab into recovery (hold volume + and power the tab up). If installed, you'll get the ClockWorkMod Recovery instead of the stock recovery system. You can make backups, do restores, install .zips, etc... from there.....then "reboot" the system to boot back to your normal system.
Thanks tcrews. I moved the update.zip from the root directory to a saved directory then rebooted holding the volume + key and it booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery. I chose back up and everything seemed to backup fine.
So if/when I install another ROM and I do a restore to the ROM I just backed up I should be right back to where I was at that time. I have used Titanium Backup to back up all my applications and settings and know I would have to restore them also.
I'm just wanting to understand how I can get back to "stock" so that I can get the automatic updates from Viewsonic.
Well i just tried it all again, and all worked very well. Thank you very much
Ok, I'm totaly new to this so please bare with me, having some troubles with my G tablet NOT booting so I cant access it through Windows to install CW to fix my tablet. How can I get the Files on the tablet? I can get it to attempt recovery but no luck. PLEASE help. I'm pulling my hair out here.

I cant get the recovery image to find update.zip
I have clockwork recovery gtab-cwm-v08 installed and renamed to update.zip in the root of the internal sd but when i boot into recovery it goes to the android screen then shows a triangle with a exclamation point, then reboots normally!
I rooted with z4root 1.2.1
I have superuser permission so am rooted!
Unrooted then rooted again figuring this might help!
Tried a few different clockwork recoveries
have no idea what the problem is! if anyone has any clue it would be appreciated!

Had that happen to me. What I did was run the CWM again into the gtab. Next reboot I had CWM insgtalled and working.
Hope that helps
CWM 0.8 is the one that I used and is working for me. I have the gTab w/the "original" partition scheme, and installed it by the original gTab update process.
If you're using newer CWMs I've read posts in the CM6b4 thread that newer CWM version seem to be causing problems for some people.
Also if you have a "newer" "batch" gTab w/a different partition map scheme you might want to check what the latest info is on the IRC channel, #tegratab on freenode IIRC. Might be quickest to ask for help there anyways, as it sounds like this probably isn't your problem.
I was wondering if there is any way to directly boot legend into clockworkmod without going into ROM manager, like when you get stuck at boot ?
Say what? If I interprate correctly then you want to go to clockworkmod screen because you're stuck at boot, no? If yes then turn on your phone by holding volume down. From there choose recovery and at the big red warning sign press volume up + power button and choose update.zip. That will bring you to clockworkmod.

Well, actually NO
I am indeed swiping from my legend. But I did face the same issue couple of days back. And I figured it out myself about going to recovery and selecting update.zip back then and it worked.
Now I have another question, is clockworkmod recovery only stored in the sdcard (In the update.zip) ?
And loads from that file directly when we select the option to boot into clockworkmod from ROM manager ?
I was under the impression that it is flashed and stored in the device.
There's a simple way of finding this out...take out the sdcard (or replace it with another one) and see if it's booting into clockworkmod recovery

No it's not, it's called fake flash, the default recovery can't be replaced at this time.

Makes perfect sense, thanx for the info.
I've got me a xtc clip and found out the hard way to use it.
so far so good, S-off and I decided to get CWR to install a rooted rom
I installed CWR 3006 and so no Amend scripting and no Sense based roms
So I treid to downgrade CWR 3 to a 2version and failed.
Then I decide to downgrade 2.2.1 to use unrevoked to get root and hopfully downgrade CWR the sametime.
Yeah great the downgrade went fine but I got a touchpanel fail with several RUU i treid
what to do next I've manged to get CWR 3006 back on cause I made a nandroid backup and could reverse it
With that backup version running the touchscreen responded again alltouh in fast boot menu it still said touchpanel fail.
I've got me a full day of involving with my buzz and I'm back to were I started
very frustating.
I'm to stupid to downgrade CRW can't get root with unrevoked cause its telling me it can't flash recovery image
yeah you my laugh about me but I'm not giving up
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to downgrade CWR from 3 to a 2 version, I still don't have root and it needs to be noob proof please
i've tried so many times but always failed :-(
( if this post is offtopic pleace remove by a mod sorry I had to tell someone)
Install ROM Manager, and, install a Recovery through it. It will install CWM 2.5.0.7, and, entering Recovery Mode through ROM Manager will load up 2.5.0.7
This way, you will have both CWMs, 2.x and 3.x, which is exactly what I am following at the moment.
(Didn't read your entire thread, just went through the gist of it, sorry)
thanks for your answer
my problem is I still can't get root so I can not use Rom manager.
I've succeed in getting a lower Hboot to use Unrevoked
but it's given me "cant install recovery image", so I think it's conflicting with 3006
I do not know how to get rid of CRW and put the original one back in place.
By downgrading from a official RUU I get touchpanel-fail so I cant activate usb debugging and install from other then market this means so unrevoked can't do his job.
life is so frustrating sometime.......
me again I've been thinking about CWR.
to make a PC49IMG.zip of clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 with andriod-info.txt and the recovery.img. and give it a go.
will this function or am I just bricking the phone?
Since you have s-off:
Find fastboot binary (google)
save it somewhere
open terminal/command prompt. cd to the directory where you saved it ("cd /path/to/fastboot/")
reboot phone into bootloader. choose fastboot.
in command prompt/terminal type
$fastboot flash recovery <recoveryfile.img>
where recoveryfile.img is your recovery image (including the path to it, or just save the image wherever fastboot is)
edit: wait a minute, you downgraded your bootloader after getting s-off? WHY ON EARTH??? you crazy?
Id say some semi skimmed milk
thanks nhnt11 for your answer
to your question of downgrading bootloader got it up again
installed a oficial RUU froyo and started all over again, it solved the touchpanel fail and I installed a CRW 2.5 and I'm back in bisness
this is how I succeeded:
"Dont try to downgrade and get root with unrevoked this will end up in a touchpanel-fail ( and you have to upgrade a Ruu froyo to get rid of it)"
Get S-off with xtc clip
2.2.1 Stock Rom Rooted : http://www.multiupload.com/JSAWVUC88O
Recovery, Radio Update: http://rapidshare.com/files/451971561/PC49IMG.zip
1) Download Above Files
2) Copy PC49IMG.zip to the Root of your SD Card
3) Copy the Rooted Stock Rom to the SD Card and rename it to update.zip
4) Reboot your phone into Hboot Mode by pressing Volume Down and Power
5) It will now ask if you want to update the firmware select Volume Up for Yes.
6) Remove the SD Card and Reboot Back to Hboot Mode and select recovery using Volume Down then Power to select.
7) You should see a nice ClockWork Recovery system.
8) Reinsert the Gold Card and select apply update.zip from SDcard.
9) Let that finish then do a Wipe data/factory (Will Loose All Data and Settings only perform if your going to use another Rom!)
10) Do a wipe cache partition and in advance do wipe dalvik cache.
11) Reboot phone and Enjoy your Rooted Wildfire with Hboot 1.01.001.
thanks and credit go to hacktrix2006 of xtc
is this going to work on the Aria?
So up until about the other day i had successfully rooted wit 2.2.1 for my mytouch 4g and had royalginger rom installed and working fine. Then i turned on my phone and it had mad force closes and would not stop popping up thoses error messages so then i go into recovery attempt to do factory resets and all i get now is being stuck a boot screen. I try to use adb for pushing the recovery of clockwork back on my phone and all i get is device offline. all im tryna do at this point is flash the stock rom. i downloaded the 312 mb stock rom i believe named it to pd15img tried to flash thru hboot then even named to update.zip and tryed thru the stock recovery sdcard update.zip apply? am i sol or is there a chance to get an operation
Cliff Notes.
phone stuck at boot screen
cant get anything other than hboot/stock recovery for use currently

So up until about the other day i had successfully rooted wit 2.2.1 for my mytouch 4g and had royalginger rom installed and working fine. Then i turned on my phone and it had mad force closes and would not stop popping up thoses error messages so then i go into recovery attempt to do factory resets and all i get now is being stuck a boot screen. I try to use adb for pushing the recovery of clockwork back on my phone and all i get is device offline. all im tryna do at this point is flash the stock rom. i downloaded the 312 mb stock rom i believe named it to pd15img tried to flash thru hboot then even named to update.zip and tryed thru the stock recovery sdcard update.zip apply? am i sol or is there a chance to get an operation

Royal Ginger is a 2.2 ROM, if you are using Clockwork mod 3.0.0.5, there lays your problem. I have thread that is sticked to the top of the Q&A section that should be able to help you out. It's also the green link in my signature.
the reason the the PD15IMG didn't work is you need to download the PD15IMG image, it's not a ROM it's the actual file that HTC flashed to your phone to make it come alive, and flash it via the hBoot screen. IT will do it automatically. But i don't think you need to do that to resolve your issue.
i thought royal ginger was a gingerbread rom cause it said 2.3.3 on my about phone menu , not sure. but ill check out your thread and see if it can free my phone

I'm sorry u are correct. RoyalGlaicer is the 2.2 variant.
since that is the case are you getting any errors in the recovery image about not being able to mount anything?
i have tried to use the pd15img.zip in my stock recovery and even changing it to update.zip and flashing through my stock recovery but my stock recovery says invalid operation for any zip? now im like wtf..

the PD15IMG needs to be left named PD15IMG, and you flash if via the HBoot image. You do not need to use the recovery image to flash it. Just store it on the root of the SDcard and boot into bootloader. make sure to check the MD5SUM of the download to verify it's a good download. you can find hundreds of ways to do that via Google.
sir is there a instant messaging medium i can reach you on and when i dowloading it it was a zip ill see how to check the md5sum now but should i leave as pd15img.img and go to hboot again?

So your saying you can get into recovery, but not hboot? Lol on the MT4G you have to go through hboot to get to recovery. Also, your trying to use stock recovery? If so (you need adb) download the cwm recovery image from somewhere and push it to your phone via adb and that should give you a fresh recovery to work with which would eliminate the possibility of a bad recovery hope that helps
