2.3.4 Root

Hi guys,
Whats the proper way to Root the Nexus on 2.3.4, my bootloader is unlocked but can't seem to get some of the methods working, if someone can please point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it,
Regards.

There are countless root guides here already, just flash the zip file in CWM.

Yer I've tried them all but keep getting E:signiture verification failure, installation aborted. I'm on 2.3.4 I9020 XKD1 GRJ22.

You did flash CWM recovery first right?

You are probably confusing ClockworkMod recovery (CWM) with the stock recovery. They are different. CWM allows you to flash unsigned zip files, the stock recovery doesn't, hence you got that error.
Follow the stickied rooting guide for your phone carefully, it's not hard at all, don't be afraid.

Hi mate, thanks.
All is working now

[Q] Secure Booting Unsuccessful; Standard issue, but confused and stuck...

So I've searched and read for about the last 4 hours, and I'm only more confused than before.
Using a Verizon VS980:
1.Took the OTA (to VS96012B) when I first got the phone
2. Rooted using ioroot script
3. installed latest twrp (2.6.3.3) using Freegee
4. Downloaded CM10.2 stable directly from Get.cm as well as appropriate GAPPS
5. Rebooted into TWRP
6. Wiped (but did not backup since I didn't care about keeping user data...did this wipe the factory OS too then?)
7. Attempted to flash CM10.2 and got the following error:
"Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
assert failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/download/cm-10.2.0
8. Attempted to reboot into stock since CM flash had failed and got "secure booting unsuccessful" error message
Why would the CM10.2 install be failing under the above messages? And did I blow away my factory ROM? I just used the generic TWRP 2.6.3.3 "factory reset option"??
Dear lord help me. I've read so many threads, but I've ended up much more confused.
In theory, the stock ROM should still be installed since the CM10.2 flash failed, what do I need to do to A.)Be able to successfully flash the CM10.2 without getting the "error executing updater binary in zip" problem, or B.) Be able to at least boost back into stock LG image?
Thanks,
-A

Planning on using this to go back to how it shipped stock, and then re-rooting, and re-installing TWRP and taking another shot at a ROM. Can someone please tell me if this is the right direction?

After going back to stock I would go this route if u take 12b OTA.

Thanks for the reply! I've edited the OP for a little additional detail/clarity. I'm trying to figure out at this stage why my CM10.2 install failed first and foremost. I'd like to be able to avoid going all the way back to stock if possible?
Any suggestions on why I was getting the below message during attempting to install?

It seems like the recovery u flashed from freegee was not properly loki'd for the 12b firmware. It allowed u to overwrite the stock recovery but not flash any ROMs. U could try pushing the patched Loki img and recovery in the thread I posted earlier using adb. U can follow the same instructions in the thread u linked just use the updated patched files.
When u wiped prior to flashing cm10.2, if u wiped system then u have no ROM on ur device to boot into. Always make a backup just in case. That way if u have a bad download or the ROM just won't boot, u gotta plan B.

If I just used the standard TWRP Wipe/factory reset, (which I did) my factory system ROM should be still there, but for whatever reason I'm unable to boot it.
I'm assuming the threads and methods you referenced will work with ADB sideload?
Thanks again

Yeah. I would try pushing the patched Loki img via adb, then try flashing the cm10.2 ROM. Otherwise u can sideload a stock ROM and flash that.

Managed to get back to stock!
Re-rooted, and used Freegee to install latest CWM ths time. Attempted to install CM10.2 again (fresh download) and it STILL gives the error:

Read that some are having issues using Freegee/Flashify to install a working loki'd recovery with 12b OTA. ADB seems to work best. Glad to hear u were able to get back to stock though.

I'm actually on 11A :-/
I was planning on using CM10.2 since I just want a 4.3 or 4.4 ROM thats actually stable, but maybe its just the particular ROM I'm trying? I'll try doing ADB to push a different recovery just in case.
Any recommendations on a good stable ROM?

The unofficial cm 4.4.2 is a good one. OP has good directions on getting ROM to run perfectly with kernel settings.
If ur on 11a u should have zero issues flashing, def try a different ROM.

Same error... kinda freaking out now #FML
I am so lost and confused. Definately in over my head right now. I usually depend on the one click methods to flash, and this time I'm bricked. Same problem as post #1 on the thread. Not very familiar with adb. Is anyone with experience in this area able/willing to remote into my mac or even over the phone to help a brother out? I'm willing to compensate you for your time.
Thanks,

[Q] Can't flash stock rom in TWRP

I am looking help from someone who knows TWRP. My phone accidentally did an update and now it just boots into TWRP v2.6.3.2. I am new to this stuff but through learnings I have pushed the stock firmware found on this site (I am in Canada and with Telus) using adb push through command prompt. However when i go to install, it fails. I have also tried Rogers and Bell. Nothing works. I don't understand what is wrong?
What I see is:
E: storage partition '//TWRP/BACKUPS/018bf7ce0f4c6fa0' not found
Installing '/sdcard/TelusD803T10B_00.zip
Checking for MD5 file ...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Verifying zip signature ...
E:Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/TelusD803T10B_00.zip
Can anyone please tell me what is going on here and what is wrong? I would really appreciate it. The phone is new and useless to me right now as is .... thank you

Did you did an OTA update while on custom ROM? have you tried other recovery? I had trouble flashing with TWRP too. Im using Philz Touch atm and it works great for me.

All I did was accept an update when prompted but didn't pay attention and when the phone rebooted it went into twrp. I had no idea what twrp was. through learning about it i got the stock roms off this website and pushed it on to the phone and tried to install but it just fails for some reason. i don't know what more i can do.

Follow the"back to stock threads" you cant accept ota's when rooted

I would follow the above comment and follow the step by step guide how to get back to stock when you accidentally got OTA when rooted. Just follow the steps carefully and you'll be fine.Good luck

Have you tried this?
Just untick Zip File Signature when prompting to flash zip.That might work

CM13 flashing on OnePlus2 from scratch

Hello all, I'm completely new to flashing and rooting stuff.
I would like to install CM13 on my OnePlus 2. I have done some research and unlocked the OEM and then tried to root my mobile in TWRP recovery. But it failed with "dtb not found" error. Can you please tell me if I'm making any mistake? I saw a couple of videos on youtube and did the above steps.
Can you please tell me the exact steps I should be doing before flashing CM13 or any other ROM in my mobile? Like OEM unlocking and TWRP recovery. I have also checked TWRP website but it is very confusing. Few say recovery.img should be fastbooted and few say twrp.img.
Please help me out.

Kindly help.
I have used lot of resources from this forum previously for my older devices, yet never posted anything. This is my first post.
Appreciate any help.

This error if you flash incorrect zip, try downloading again also update your TWRP.

Thanks! Guess i missed to wipe everything before install, that's why it gave that error.
Now I'm on RR. It works perfect!
Thanks anyway!
