PLEASE HELP - Can't install any ROMS???

I just got my replacement phone thru HTC and I was returning my current N1 to stock. I had CM6 installed and I rooted my phone without Unlocking it. My plan was to reinstall the stock recovery and go back to a stock unrooted Froyo.
A bunch of stuff happened and where I'm stuck at now is that I have a stock recovery. And my phone has an incomplete OS. (When it loads it just Force Closes everything.)
The last thing i flashed before the OS stopped working was: Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip
I tried flashing in fastboot. idk what else to do?
I'd like to either have this go back to stock like i wanted or at least get back to having RA Recovery so i can recover my nand
Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I got mine to stock and successfully returned it to HTC for a swap without any problem using fastboot from the link above. I didn't flash it to stock 2.2 I only flashed the room that it came with from factory (really old one ERD79) and HTC didn't care.

yeah i tried doing that first. but i kept getting failed verification errors

just flash RA recovery via fastboot ( if you can, I dont't know if it will let you since you don't have bootloader unlocked)
Or try using the PASSIMG.ZIP method

Please help soon. i have to send this phone back to HTC
IMGPASS.zip did not work. Main version is older! error
it wont let me go into stock recovery and flash any signed ROMS. It starts to open them up and then i get an error.

verifying update package....
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
any idea?
also im still having wifi problem
when i turn on wifi it says application settings(inprocess com.androd.settings) is not responding then gives me force close

It could be that your update package was not properly signed, or it was corrupted when downloading.
Download it again and see if signature verification passes.
Also if you're sure that the update package is not signed intentionally, you may need a recovery which can ignore signature (as far as I know Amon 1.8 or above can do this)

Problems in recovery mode

Hi, first post so go easy on me if this has been asked before!
I'm basically having problems in recovery mode. When I try to do a Nandroid backup there is no option for it. When I select reinstall packages the status says failed to install update.zip or something along the lines of that. Same thing happens when I try to flash a rom. Anybody know whats going on?

Did you install cwm recovery using rom manager?

Yeah I did. I flash the latest version with rom manager. I see the update.zip in the internal sd card folder but im still getting the same message.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Did you flash the leaked froyo? If so you have 3e recovery, and clockwork recovery will not work. You will have to flash back to stock using odin. You can find it in the captivate development thread. Make sure you are flashing jh6. All of the custom roms have fixed this problem with the recovery not working with clock work
If you are not on the leaked froyo I have nothing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I'm almost sure he has to be on Froyo. 3e recovery requires signed .zips which is where he's having the issues with.

[Q] problems with clockworkmod recovery

I have rom manager and flashed my clockwork recovery.... but when i choose to reboot into clockwork recovery it goes to my regular recovery menu(i think).... then i go down to reinstall packages and i looks like it starts a process(i see a status bar) but it never finishes the update and says E:failed to verify whole-file singature E: signature verification failed installation aborted. what am i doing wrong? i am new to android rooting but i was very savvy at hacking(jailbreaking and unlocking) iphones. i have 2.2 froyo rooted on my captivate and i'm trying to get serendipity 3.0....... thanks for any help!

Wrong section, let flames engulf you
You need to swap kernels or flash back to stock. Leaked 2.2 will not use unsigned zips like clockwork

how do i swap kernels?

You can follow my guide here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213 , takes literally 10seconds, but others will tell you to flash with Odin

[Q] Problem Reinstalling Packages with UXJL1

Hi Guys,
So here is my problem:
I updated my Captivate from Samsung to Froyo.
I rooted my with Super One Click.
I then downloaded ROM Manager from the Market.
Then used it to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery 2.5.1.2)
My problem is that when I boot into recovery mode, I click on reinstall packages and it gives me the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I am not running J16, my baseband says I896UXJL1.
I want to make sure that this works so that I can look into using other ROMs.
Thanks in advance.

i believe this is caused by recovery 3e when you tried to get into recovery using rom manager. it requires some kind of signature of the rom.
you need to copy update.zip to your sdcard root folder first and then shut down your phone and use the key combo to get into the recovery mode instead. you may need to apply the changes twice in the recovery mode.
another way to do that is by using android sdk.

I would first try moving update.zip to sdcard (check for updates first), then try using the 3 button to get to recovery and apply it. If that doesn't work, I'd say your probably on a bad recovery, and you should probably flash to stock (Eclair
) using Odin 1 click, available at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
You can also read there how to use it. I would flash to stock, then go to a proper 2.2 ROM that is widely supported (Perception, Phoenix). Good luck, don't brick your phone.

This makes sense but:
I already have an update.zip in my root folder of my internal SD. Is there something I'm missing here?
