Hey Guys,
I hope this is in the right section. I'm having some issues with my rooted G1.
I couldn't get it to update to DRC92 (http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=21) so i tried following these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416) in the hope starting from scratch would solve the issues. I couldn't even get passed the step 7 in the guide as telnet gave a connection refused error.
I'm now stuck on RC7 and every time i try to add a rom i get
Code:
E:No singnature (454 files)
E:Verification failed
I also tried to change the recovery image to cm-recovery-1.4.img to try and install Cyanogen and i got the error "flash_image: not found".
I would prefer to have the official DRC92 rom installed though.
Does anyone have and ideas as to what the problem is and how i can get around it?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best Regards, George
Im confused wether you have root...If you are on XDA your arse better have that HTC device or your looking around the wrong ******* forum.Im guessing your phone is fully stock fresh from th bakery i presume? If you have 1.5 now you better get to finding the one click root or find your way over to cyan wiki for the root guide.I be your arse to clicks and dog that you would be better off having root than stock.Oh yeah i forgot but welcome to xda and you better be gettin that root instead of reading this.Are yo usure you have root? WHat recovery are you changing from? You said you wanted to change it to cyan 1.4 when there are only 2 recovery avail..
Thanks for your reply. Yes i have root, i rooted it using an older guide that i can't find now. The recovery image was recover_testkeys.img.
The recovery image i tried to install is at te bottom of this page http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=3.
Any ideas?

The .6 build? I'm a little confused over the different methods i've seen on here... someone point me in the right direction i'll buy you a cookie
im kinda if your shoes too buddy. well the first thing you do is you have to downgrade to .5 version cause the .6 cant be rooted so you need the ruu to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661057
so just run that and yes make sure you back up your phone.
then you have follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
i tried to do this guide and i got to the point where im in the recovery and i flash the zip and then reboot and just get stuck on the htc boot screen so after that i dont know what to do.
so i just stuck with the special permissions and the unevoked apk. and it is still root but i cant get roms which sucks cause i want live wallpapers.

Have u guys tried universal androot?
Sent from my fresh hero.
see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7701291&postcount=36
includes a qr code to download the universal androot app. couldn't be easier. just install the app and click root. then load a recovery by either using rom manager or open a terminal and do the usual flash_image recovery method.
So i downloaded ROM Manager / and Premium (because i really like what it does so i dont mind supporting him.
So when i go into the ROM Manager and tap "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" I pick the Samsung Captivate and it goes through and then says that it worked (version 2.5.1.2&2.5.1.1) and then i boot in recovery and i get the standard recovery, I try to reinstall packages and it says "failed" along with a bunch of red text, then goes back to the main screen. Is there another way to do this. or is something wrong on my phone?
I'm on stock 2.2 FYI
Feel free to ask questions and also if im just being stupid i dont mind also.
Thanks so much
-Allmaechtig
it helps if you tell us the error message. there are many
also im going to assume you are on 2.2 stock.. right? the error is signature verification
search for [Recovery] 3e Recovery Modded...... screw it,....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
once you have that fixed and temp flash the update.zip, you have to select "re-install" package 2 times in a row.
also once you have a custom rom that has a kernel with CWM built in. you dont need rom manager or the update.zip it downloaded. it will only screw you up. almost every custom kernel has CWM built in now.
yes the error is signature verification.
Thanks ill try that now an let you know if it worked
the instructions for 3e are a little confusing.
you can do it all with ADB or
you can do it all with Root Explorer
and he has the 2 methods reading as one.....
PM me if you need help finding root explorer for this ONE use... (cough cough)

Hey all,
I had a lot of help earlier from the Cognition chat room in trying to get it installed. Every time I flash to stock, go into Clockwork Recovery, and try to install Cognition, it rebooted the first time, and I'm sitting at the AT&T screen. It will not go past this. I thought it was something with the rom, so I tried other 2.2 roms, like Serendipity and Firefly. I've used these roms on this phone in the past and never had an issue with them. Now, no matter what rom I try, it just sits at the AT&T logo after first boot. When I tried installing Firefly, I actually got an error: can't symlink /system/xbin/su. I'm not sure what's going on, but I was on MIUI before, flashed to stock using the 1 click JF6 return to stock.
Any info would be helpful.
Which cognition
Sent from my captivate flying firefly!
I would try flashing stock again. Let it boot all the way, then reboot, go into recovery and try flashing your rom
I too am having similar issues. When i reboot into recovery there is no place to select which rom. Using rom manager clockwork mod and firefly. Yes i'm a noob. Any instructions are appreciated. I have read through and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. thanks in advance.
ah one crucial remark i forgot... tells me signature verification failed. once again yes noob thanks.

So I just recently rooted my Sprint Hero using z4root after failing in several other ways. I would like to put on a custom recovery and start messing with custom roms, but I am running into numerous roadblocks.
For one, the recovery on the phone is corrupted. I'm not sure how, but if I boot to recovery I get a red exclamation point symbol.
So I tried to use adb and flash_image to install the recovery, but discovered that flash_image is not on my phone.
I have found the binary for flash_image but have not been able to put it into /system/bin in order to execute it. I would have to put adb into root mode to push it directly there, but can't since I am still running Release code. I can't move it from /sdcard or /data because I got a cross-device error.
I did figure out how to run flash_image from /sdcard, but I just got 'out of memory' errors.
I have tried downgrading to 2.27.651.5 since that seems to be the version everyone uses to fix anything, but the ruu fails to install due to Error [140]: Bootloader Version Error
I have been able to downgrade to 2.27.651.6, but that didn't help anything.
I am clueless at this point and feel like I have done my due diligence. Any ideas?
I should also add my current config:
SW number 2.32.651.2
Baseband 2.42.02.10.29
Kernel 2.6.29-ba77cf03
HBOOT-1.47.0000
RADIO-2.42.02.10.29

Yes. I would be thankful for any suggestions.
Z4 will give you root but not a recovery I believe. The reason why you have the red triangle isn't because you have a corrupt recovery its because you have no revovery. Ill send you a pm with something that might help.

I never received a PM.
Have you tried simply installing ROM Manager to install the recovery that way? That's generally the quickest and easiest way to do it, and should set you up for getting everything going.

ROM Manager is no longer available from the market. If you have an .apk you could give me that would be great.

Please help me when you get the chance
I looked in the market and saw Rom Manager in mine. Make sure that you flash the recovery 1st and then do a backup (nandroid) so you have your current phone just in case something happens when you start flashing new roms or something. I don't know why you don't show the app in the market. I don't think that Z4 would change your build.prop, but I have never used Z4 either.
I apologize on the delay. If you haven't solved your issue yet check your pm's.

Huh? This is one of the reasons why most of the knowledgeable members are helping less and less. When you receive advice/help the least you can do is post if it worked or not.

All you have to do is revert to an older version of clockworkmod, I used version 6.0.12 I believe.
the file name is: CWM6012-CM9-recovery so it might be that. Yep that's it, now i can finally rest

The title says it all.
I tried to install a custom rom on my Galaxy s plus and I figured i'd need cwm, so I got the latest, installed it through the default recovery.
And now it keeps booting into the recovery and I can't get the stock back.
So I still tried to install a custom rom, though it keeps booting into cwm.
Can anyone give me a hand with this? I will need my phone today, so I would really appreciate any help I can get.
I own a One X, though it is at the repairs and now I messed up my only usable phone
