Can someone help me out? I’m what you might call a noob. I’ve root my phone. I have s-on because my radio is 2.42.02.10.29 and I don’t think unrevoked caries that yet. But as far as I understand, that shouldn’t be a big deal since this is signed. I just have to flash manually. So I rename aospCMod-20110201-signed.zip to update.zip and save it into the root of the sd card. I start in recovery. I first Wipe data/factory reset, I then Wipe cache and I finally update. But after trying to update for a couple of seconds I get an error that says signature verification failed. I tried downloading it twice and the same thing happened both times, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a corrupted file.
Someone please help.
-thanks
also, when I enter the Android system recovery I have the error E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I'm not sure what that means.
Flash the recovery in the op of the thread, and leave the rom filename alone.

But if it's not called update.zip the phone won't recognize it as something to flash. At least as far as I can tell.
Thanks for your help. I figured it out. I wasn't in the clockwork recovery because it just wasn't loading. When I switched to amon_ra, it worked fine. And I understand now that I don't need it to be named upgrade if you're in one of the fancy (clockwork/amon_ra) recoveries.
Hi
I am trying to restore my backup using Rom manager with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, however i was not able to boot to CWM recovery. I have tried to flash it to older versions CWM but error message "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I flashed RA Recovery v2.2.1 via Rom Manager and it works. However i am unable to flash back to any versions of CWM.
I have just gotten back my n1 replacement and would like to restore my previous backup. Thanks in advance
I have the same error on My Touch 4G.
im having the same thing, it is most likely server side and nothing to do with our phones
To see if it's a server issue, you can actually go into the Clockworkmod/download folder on your SD to confirm that the recovery is downloaded. If it's there, it's not a network issue... I think it's more likely an issue with cwm...
Have you tried flashing via adb, terminal, or fastboot?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
it was server side issue.. its back up now and i didn't change a thing on my end.. when i searched google for "site: forums.xda-developers.com unable to flash recovery" and went to options by latest.. a whole bunch of other forums popped up last night or today with the same problem
i have got this captivate but I'm unable to install CWM recovery which is not getting past that verifying packages and giving an error saying signature verification failed...
any help would be helpful,
thanks

Hi everybody.
In the past I already flashed custom ROM to routers, so I thought I had the skill to undergo the path of flashing ROM to a phone.
Wrong.
I have countless tabs opened tried to solve my stucked phone, and my PC is running out of memory; and I'm running out of hope.
I own a S Plus GT-i9001.
I wanted to get rid of all the bloatware present in the phone, so I gained root privileges.
Like explained here. It worked perfectly.
Since deleting all the unnecessary apps didn't look working, I thought "well, it is a rainy day, you had this device for a while, why don't you flash some ROM?"
So,
1. I followed this guide, but, needless to say, Rom Manager was not fulfilling to its duty. Indeed I backuped everything I needed, but the stock rom
2. I followed then this guide, point 3, to install ClockworkMod Recovery directly. Before, everytime I tried to enter the recovery menu, I was bounced to the original recovery menu, because ROM manager did not succeed.
With this guide, I managed to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
I then started backing up the ROM to the external SD, and it seemed working.
It was popping out with a message "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command", but since all the operations went successful, I did not care much (fail, I suppose)
3. I tried to boot back into the phone, before installing the new ROM, just to double check I saved everything, and then the drama began. I was just continuously bounced back at CWM Recovery menu, no way to get in the phone.
I tried anyway to install the AOSP 4.0.4. and all the steps went successful, but still nothing, I would always reboot automatically into CWM Recovery.
4. I tried restore from backup in external SD, it ran successfully, but still couldn't load the phone
5. I then googled into the "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command" error, so I ended up somewhere that they were advising to flash FeaCore Phoenix Recovery tool. Indeed it did not display anymore such an error
6. I tried again with he AOSP 4.0.4 ROM, but it showed then the following error
Code:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "thunderc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "thunderc"
so I ended up here and changed the zip accordingly.
7. I also tried this instructions here to perform the most ultimate massive wiping.
8. I installed the AOSP 4.0.4, and the update-Gapps-ICS-20712.zip, it worked, no errors.
Still, it reboots into the recovery menu.
I can't get out of this damned recovery menu, it is crazy! I have used so many recovery tools in PCs, you usually are able to leave them, maybe not able to restore the OS, but you never get stuck into a circle of hell like this!
Please, does anyone has some advice for me? I don't want to waste a 6-months old device
thank you!
You should reflash CWM with odin like this then try flashing a rom again.
If that doesn't work flash a stock frimware through Odin also with the AriesVE.ops file active.
All guides tell you to put the "recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5" or the stock firmware file as "one package". Doing that results into large file errors or odin getting stuck on "downloading..."
Putting the file under phone got my phone back to life, after softbricking it by using CWM 6 thouch.

man, you saved my life!
you and the powerful, mighty Odin, god of the Valhalla!
oh, it feels so awesome!
but since I never learn (that was enough of a message to tell me to stop messing around)...
how do I install the ROM I'd like, go through the same process (my phone is now as as when I bought it) or can I use somehow Odin?

I realised that, since I flashed the recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar you provided, if I would boot in recovery mode, it would be still there.
and it is.
but still it is showing the error
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command and, needless to say, it is not loading the ROM correctly, it stucked again
I don't get which part am I doing wrong!

Well, I sorted it out (absolutely, in a mysterious way!!! )
I downloaded the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5 from here, and I followed again your instructions for flashing it with Odino (rigorously NOT ticking one package).
When rebooted, I had the AOSP 4.0.4 Stock, shiny and sparkling!
without even entering the recovery menu and reinstalling!
but I guess I will need to do a clean install again, now that seems that CWM 6 is digested by my phone
Hello there,
Where to start. Ok, I'm not a techy person (so pls dont reply with abreaviations) but I'm half capable, so I decided to upgrade my galaxy s to the x-bean rom.
I flashed my phone using odin to the standard XXJW4 upgrade, rooted it, and transfered the x-bean 3.0 zip and the fix file to the sdcard. Wiped date/factory reset as needed, then when I went to install zip from sdcard the following error message occurs:
E:Error in /sdcard/x-bean 3.0.zip
(status 0)
installation aborted
I'm now using semaphore cwm recovery v6.0.1.3 which i got from a fix I tried.
I've hunted through youtube vids, the recovery section, and the threads for hours!! I've downloaded and tried flashing every file his man and his dog have posted up as fix but nothing is working, all I get is boot loop and this error.
Every time I try upload anything from odin the download stops shortly after it starts and disconnects from the phone. As i can still access recovery and download option tho, does anyone else have a suggedtion which its having a problem accessing the sdcard?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as phone is useless right now
managed to find a file that resolved it all, just incase anyone else has same problem in future
