Installing ROM error, what am I doing wrong? - Galaxy S II General

Hey,
I recently rooted my phone GS2 and wanted to install the CyanodenMod 7.1.0, but I keep getting an error every time I try install via Rom manager, Btw this is my first time doing this, I have read lots from sites and forums but just don't get what is going wrong, This is what I do:
- Download ROM Manager
- Click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and it does that successfully
- Click "Download ROM" and select "CyanogenMod" it download fine and then click "Wipe Data and Cache" & "Wipe Dalvik Cache". I have also done the same thing but using the option from SD Card.
- My phone restarts and boots into the standard recovery and give this error:
"--Installing Package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
- Then I just click "reboot system now" since it didn't work and now I am stuck.
I sort of know the problem, it isn't booting into the Clockwork Recovery it's just booting to the standard recovery, but I have no idea how to make it open the Clockwork Recovery, please help or tell me what I am missing.
Thanks for reading.

Don't use Rom Manager, It is not compatible with our phones
You should still be able to enter Download mode
Visit the thread HERE and have a good read and you should be able to get your phone back in working order

Ugh, rom manager. I tend to avoid the apps for doing that kind of thing. I use Odin for Kernels and CWM (Home+Power+Volume Up method) for ROMs. The other ways tend to crash.

How do I do it via CWM? Can you do little step by step guide only rough if possible? Thank you.

If only this was already written somewhere, like a FAQ or wiki.

You can boot into recovery mode manually, and choose the zip file from sdcard and flash it straight away. You can also toggle the signature verification there if you get the same error.

1. Download Siyah kernel, open the .zip and copy the zImage file to your SDcard.
2. Install DarkyROM2 app via Android market
3. Choose Flash option in DarkyROM2 tool and select the zImage file copied to SDcard.
Once DarkyROM finishes doing its job you should have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.
For CM7
1. Download CM7 manually from cyanogenmod.com site
2. Copy the downloaded zip to sdcard
3. Shut of your phone and power it on using volume up+home+power
4. Hold it till you get to a screen with lots of options in orange or blue color thats CWM
5. Do a factory data reset ( Will delete all apps/settings )
5. Select Install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard > select CM7 zip you copied
say ok.
6. Reboot your device, done .. you should boot into CM7.

[Q] Clockworkmod "backup current ROM" problems

So I am following this guide here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...d-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/
that shows how to root/backup/install custom ROMs
I followed root instructions via this tutorial: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...ent/79811-newbie-guide-rooting-fascinate.html
everything seemed to go fine although i dont know how to check if i successfully rooted or not.
**NOTE**while my phone was plugged in the usb port, for some reason my computer kept making the disconnect/reconnect sound as if i kept unplugging the chord. I tried the only 2 USB ports I had with same results. my laptop is 5 years old
The main guide(first link) linked me to this clockworkmod backup tutorial to backup my current stock phone state. HERE:http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
Now here is the problem. everything seemed to work fine up until the step titled "my first backup"(scroll down). here is what happens:
1)hit "backup current rom"> backup name is a bunch of numbers>select ok.>
2) allow superuser request>
3) then it goes to a screen with a white triangle surrounding an exclamation point and a little android guy and this message:
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
-For BML-
reboot system now(only thing i have tried to select-just boots back normally)
apply sdcard;update.zip

sorry for the length but i had to be thorough.
You didn't flash clockwork with Odin, did you? That's the only way to get clockwork going. Can't just do it with ROM Manager
Can u plz elaborate ? How do I flash clockwork thru Odin? I've done flashing new firmware thru odin! How to flash clockwork and wotz to be selected in odin?

Try looking in the development section. There is a sticky with walk through instructions on flashing Clockwork.

i was just following that tutorial to backup my stock phone in the third link. why would they have left out an important step like that?
That may just be the general process for android, but for our particular phone you have to flash with odin

Htc wildfire no functional

I have a HTC Wildfire v2.2.1 and tried to make him Alpharevx root method. After that I tried to put another room, the one here called CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Wildfire V7.0.3 (5 May 2011). Failed update and now my phone only opens up the boot menu and write this:

Help me, what I can do to make it functional???
I am new to android. Please help me rewrite software or do not know them, but I want to go phone again.
Thank you in advance
Follow this:

I followed exactly all the steps that, after that I wanted to put another room and now my phone only goes, do not understand? only opens in the boot menu
The phone no longer can open to enter the phone menu
Okay so what I'm getting from your post is that your phone only boots into HBOOT?
If so, do you have any options below such as Fastboot, Recovery,...?
I fastboot,recovery,clear storage and simlock
If you press the power on loading hboot I write something and it says no image or wrong image
if you get into recovery clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.6 i have the following options:
- reboot system now
- apply update from sdcard
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install zip from sdcard
- backup and restore
- mounts and sorage
- advanced
- power off
Place the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM ZIP file on your SD Card. Then in Recovery, Select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset". (Use Trackpad to select in Recovery, not the Power Key). Confirm it by saying Yes.
Then select "Install Zip from SDCard", and select the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM Zip file on your SD Card. It will install the ROM, and after install, select "Reboot System Now". It will boot into your new ROM installation.

Failed an installing ROM / CWM fail ....looking for guidance.

I managed to root correctly but when trying to install a custom rom via CWM I keep getting the following error
E: Cant mount /dev/....
E:/ can mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
My rom is on my SDcard and I loaded CWM via ODIN because ROManager wasn't working well.
What can I do to get this new ROM installed?
You don't need to root to install a rom.
Are you running stock OTA now I take it?
What ROM are you trying to flash?
The stock kernel reflashes the recovery every boot, so for your intial flash you need to ODIN the correct CWM Recovery, three finger into recovery. (If it boots without going to recovery, you have to start over and re-odin over the recovery). Then flash the rom you are trying to use.
Flash CWM in through Odin, directly after---> before you power up press both vol buttons and power button down to go to CWM.
Once there you go to install zip from sd card.
Actually, you only need to hold Volume Down. At least based on what I've experienced. Save the energy
I always hold all three down and let the Samsung flash once on the screen, never fails to enter recovery mode.

[Q] Please help me, error while flashing

Hi guys, I hope you can help me.
I have just rooted + flashed my motorola defy plus for the first time (on any device for that matter)
I installed 2nd init, version 0.6.... or something.
Put a rom, kernel and google apps on my sd-card
Then I turned usb-debugging off and rebooted my phone.
Now I can get into bootmenu, and this is what I do:
1) go to recovery
2) select custom recovery
3) then it says: Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.1.8
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
4) I then select wipe data/factory reset
5) then it says this: Formatting DATA
Formatting CACHE
FORMATTING SDEXT
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure
Data wipe complete
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
6) After that i select install zip from sdcard
7) then I select choose zip from sdcard
8) then I select the zip file containing the rom
9) And it says: Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted
Now I can't go any further and can't use my phone at all
I hope u guys can help me, and that I haven't F*ed up my phone
I have a quite similar problem.
On a defy+,rooted 2ndinit installed, backup-ed first, download the new quarx05/03 ICS, put the zip on sd, wipe data, reboot and start to install ics, but the message was

Thanks to the previously backup I can use may phone as usual.
What I have done wrong with de ICS installation?
Thanks

I guess that this is a simple and many times occured error, since nobody has any answer....
Does you disabled the usb debugging before flashing?
Yes I do, but nothing change,
Thanks
if I'm not mistaken the last release of 2nd init is not compatible with defy. Try to check this on the development forum. I hope I have been of help.
I'd tried with both 1.0.7 latest and 0.6.1.
With latest, the phone is blocked.
Thanks
I had used this. Try with it
P.S. sorry for my bad english.
Tried, the same errors,
Thanks
I don't know. Sorry. By the time i had used that.
I think you need to go to stable recovery after you wipe your data from custom recovery

I think you need to go to stable recovery after you wipe your data from custom recovery
What do you mean by "stable recovery"? You talk about version 0.6. of 2nd init or something else?
Can you show a step-by step procedure?
Thank you in advance.
However, which is the procedure to un-root a defy+ and to have it with the original, fresh system?
I had flash a new SBF, root with Unlockroot v2.3, anything else doesn't work, 2ndinit v2.0 stable, wipe data/cache/dalvik (same errors), try to install cm9-ics, the same error "Can't make /tmp/update_binary"

Hi, I have exactly the same problem.. Trying to find a solution but is quite difficult. First I thought it has something to do with the partitioning, as stated in THIS topic. But, in THIS topic, people say that partitioning the SD card is not necessary at all..
@Cretu22: Yes stable recovery is CWM 0.6
Don't install stable recovery! I too faced this issue when I flashed using stable recovery. In snd init install Latest recovery and then try flashing your ROM. That should work..
I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu

Okay!! I hope you were pressing the volume down button when the blue LED came?? Try doing this again all over.. I mean reinstall 2nd init and then latest recovery.. I remember doing this once(instal latest recovery after I installed stable recovery)..

Yes, its working Pressing the volume down button was not necessary with 0.6.7, that was what went wrong. Now the zips installed like a charm
i know the answer and is very simple
the problem is that you cannot create that specific folder.... because it already exist, cmp (connected music player) creates it, just delete it from SD and done!

1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2
2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)
3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.
4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery(had to select Custom recovery since those options did not exist, i had to choose between stock and custom). Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.
5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip(selected "WIUI_v4_DefyPlus_2_8_2.zip" being the zip i downloaded and put on the sd card) and let it finish.
(never got here)6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!
(If you are stuck on boot (Motorola logo), do 4th and 6th point again.)
7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu
8. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery"
how can i fix this? thanks ahead.
Hi,
so you got to step 5?
(5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip(selected "WIUI_v4_DefyPlus_2_8_2.zip" being the zip i downloaded and put on the sd card) and let it finish.)
And btw. do you have a Defy Plus or a normal Defy?
Are you sure you have the GB kernel?

Bump.
please help!!! if you look at my threads you'll see I've been planning to install a custom ROM for ages.
please.
solved, the installation method given by any guide (stickied guides, and big custom ROM threads) didn't suit my Defy+ with bl7 (probable cause of the problem) in this forum.
only thanks to this guy (don't know how i missed this thread when searching)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23614056&postcount=4
my advice, add this little guide to your post for people with Defy+ with BL7 (my ****ed up situation) if you're a ROM Developer.
Guys i have the same problem but its after installation ... I am stuck at the google logo... I waited for like 30 minutes still no change.. I clearly did do all the swiping i.e dalvik cache swipe after installation...
