OK,but how did you bypass the signature verification. It always aborts for my because it's not a file signed by Samsung.

Depends on what OS version you're in... in gingerbread the recovery is locked and checks signature, on ICS or JB it doesn't.

Where can I download it from and can I just install it in recovery because that will be the only way I can update it and thank you
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA
you can go to koushs clockworkmod site and find it, its 5.0.2.0 currently unless youve want to use the touch recovery which is 5.8.1.6 then you can just toss it into a PG06IMG.zip file from another recovery like the twrp recovery and flash it through bootloader like you would a radio

it has to be flashed through the bootloader, thats your problem.
reboot the phone hold power and volume down and go into the bootloader and let it install itself
So the cwm has to go through the bootloader

Your card may need to be formatted to fat32 in order for the zip to be recognized. Do you have sdk set up on your pc? You could just flash through fastboot..

Help flashing TWRP

Hello, all. I am trying to install TWRP on my VZW G2, but when I download the latest file (2.6.3.3) it's a .zip. In Flashify it is looking for a .img file. Inside the ZIP is an img file, should I extract that and then flash that? Thanks.
BTW, Loki_Flash would not work for me because it says it's not a valid Loki image, so if it's easier to solve that I'm up for that too. Thanks!
Flashify will install zip files as well

[4.4.4][TWRP][Modified system] OTA update zip file

So I have pulled and uploaded the update zip file to drive just in case anyone needs it.
And modified to get it working on twrp with Modified system but important core apps like systemui.apk need to be untouched though, no need to flash stock again, just normal flash via TWRP, worked on mine.
And some people were asking if it flashes default recovery or not, so the Answer is TWRP/CWM will stick.
And you will not lose root Access too
Download Links:
TWRP/CWM flashable
Default OTA zip
Explanation of how solve if still having problems as posted by @[email protected]
[email protected] said:
As OP said,
U only have to edit the updater-script file present under condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip\META-INF\com\google\android in order to get the zip file working.
1. Copy the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip file that OP shared to your PC.
2. Now open this file using any zip handler like 7zip/winzip/winrar/windows explorer(if running windows8+), browse to the above location to find updater-script file, now extract /copy this on your PC.
3. Now select an option to edit this file using Notepad++ (step 4 on how/what to edit/change)
4. As per the TWRP error log, remove all the lines from the updater-script in particular to that error.
For Ex. if the error says:
/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.
then u need to remove the following line from the updater-script
apply_patch_check("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea", "d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e") || abort("\"/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.");
assert(apply_patch("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "-",
f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea, 160480,
d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk.p")));
5. Once u are done with all such, simply save the updater-script and copy this back to its location and select replace if asked.
6. Now save the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip and copy it back to Phone and try flashing now using TWRP.
hope it helps

Flash the attached recovery.img (after unzipping the archive) using fastboot or mfastboot.
This one is only for XT1022.
Okay, so tried to modify the updater script to get it working with TWRP but it won't work if you modified any system file by yourself because it verifies all the system files and then patches them, (I had modified many apks, so it didn't work.), tried to skip verification but then it failed during patch.
So you can try But it won't work for modified system. and must create a nandroid backup.
Use the attached updater script for TWRP.
Even Stock recovery won't work on modified system.
update works on rooted devices but there should be stock recovery
Rooted users can update their moto e but must have stock recovery. If you are facing problem with trwp recovery while updating it, then flash the stock recovery annd then try. It works
Hit thanx if helped

As i said, it verifies all system files before update, you must have modified or deleted something.

If your tablet is using faatboot mode then you are complled to have root access to flash recovery.
But if your tablet uses download mode/odin mode. You can just use odin software on pc and flash recovery without root access.
On basis of which mode your tablet have,tell me the mode and i will give you a detailwd diacription of how to flaah recovery.
We need recovery to do alot of things.
Like flash zips and rom locally.
Mount and format any partition.
Flaah roms without signature verification.
And many more.

Sorry man you're screwed. Get a new phone because there's no flash tool for the zmax and no fastboot either. If a hard reset from recovery doesn't fix it take it in if you haven't rooted or anything.

So that will allow the device to accept the recovery image? How do I install CWM Recovery, through Odin or some other tool?
Damn, there is no way to install CWM to the recovery rom through the stock recovery partition? I found the CWM page for the device, but it has to be done through the booted OS. What would happen if I tried to use Odin to install it?
Your device is bricked, get it replaced. No way to recover, and if you think you can use Odin on a zmax.... You're better off with an iPhone.

I can get to recovery, but I tried a bunch of Roms and none of them were allowed. I need that sig verification toggle. I can get to Download mode, but there is no tool for that?
