flash recovery: signature verify fail - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to install Amon_RA recovery on my N1.
I followed the instructions from the Full Update Guide (wiki.cyanogenmod) and from XDA (recovery RA-passion-v2.2.1 by Amon-RA who does an outstanding dev).
Checked md5sum of recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img : matched
Checked md5sum of recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img: matched
The phone is unlocked. I use fastboot to flash the recovery. I get “Signature verify fail”.
I made a thorough search and I did not find an explanation and an answer other than for rooted phone.
I do not want to root.
I tried disabling the anti virus program. I reset the phone. I checked the installation of SDK. I checked the Environment Variables in “Advanced settings” on Widows Vista and Win7. I even checked my sanity.
I would appreciate any guidance to solve this issue.

hi, sorry if my english isn't perfect, but i want to try to help u.
If with the command fastboot devices you get a report the fastboot.jpg in attachments you'r ok.
Unlock the bootloader, command prompt do this: fastboot oem unlock
and accept the question on the mobile phone.
now you have phone unloocked so no free assistance if you broke.
Procede to next step, flash the recovery download rar from attachments and then in the fastboot do this: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img if you get problem repost.
teh in the bootloader go to bootloader (power button) and then recovery (power button) phone will reboot in recovery mode.
If you have problem post another time and forgive my bad english =)

You said "I do not want root" so why do you want to install custom recovery? The purpose of installing custom ROM or recovery is to gain root access but you don't want to root your phone so don't flash custom ROM or recovery. And you should post in Q&A not both places.

Molto grazie.Your English is far better than my Italian.
As I said the phone is unlocked and, yes, I get fastboot (if not I could not go to the point where I am, I believe)
Forza italia ma nontroppo against Russia

Yes, you're right, but i'm agree with Taodan, why you should have to flash recovery if you don't want root ? it isn't very useful XD maybe you want root in order to backup a stock rom, but if you want a stock rom of android 2.3.4 i can upload one for you XD anbd thanks for say my engolish isn't bad and yes Forza Italia XD but I want to get live in the UK or USA !!!

I owe you an apology for not knowing that I have to justify the purpose of my question.
I was naive enough to consider that flashing a recovery was obviously to help install a Cyanogen ROM. My naivete even brought me to believe that installing a Recovery without flashing a ROM will bring me back to the stock recovery.
Going further I should have added "for the moment" to my decision of not rooting.
And my final answer, regarding the wrong thread, is that I tried to edit my post in order to move to the right thread when I discovered my mistake.
Thank you for your reply. It will help me re-check my sanity.
That said are you ready to offer me a solution which could be posted on the other thread?

My main concern is not to root or not to root.
Re-read my post and you will discover that my question specifically asks for a solution regarding a flash recovery.
Anyway, I do appreciate your contribution. Prego

So.
Since I dont want a Vodafone-altered android on my phone I decided to unlock my N1.
As far as I understood, it is possible to flash the latest OTA manally with the unlocked bootloader.
I dont want any alternative recoverys so far, since i want to keep the android stock for now.
Can someone please provide a short description how to do this? All guides i found require an alternative recovery image.
Thanks so far.

Just download a stock image like ERD79 from here. Then extract recovery.img from that and flash it to your phone with the command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Now download the OTA for FRF91 from Google. Put it on your sdcard and rename it to update.zip.
Flash that with the "Apply update.zip" from recovery. There should be several guides for manually applying OTA-updates available. After flashing the stock recovery from ERD79 you can follow those guides.

So at this point does your phone boot normally after the RUU?
If so, since you are S-OFF you can flash a custom Recovery in FASTBOOT USB mode and then the choice is up to you. You can install su-3.1.3.zip to root your current ROM or you can install a custom, rooted ROM.

In that case, my advice is that you need to do further reading and research about modding your phone and the tools that you will need to use in order to successfully mod your phone.
A good place to start is by reading the Sticky Posts in the General Section and the Development Section of this forum.

i think u need to first soff ur phone!!for that u need to downgrade ur hboot to 1.13.0000 or 1.09.0000!! apparently the tool tpbklake is sugesting can downgrade ur hboot(i havent tested it) then u need to soff via revolutionary!! its all easy once u downgrade ur hboot version!!:laugh:
i really hope u can at least give it a look at guides made by our fellow forumers and ask questions accordingly when u got stuck on certain steps or something. tpbklake provides useful link there, why dun y have a look first.
im not a pro, but i think most important of all u need to know what rooting is all about, if u want to go along the easy way, then just unlock ur device through htcdev, flash custom recovery, and flash a pre-rooted rom available (most of them are pre-rooted).

That's not the file he linked. That is my downgrade script which will not work on your hboot version unless your phone is rooted.
Your also describing a stock recovery, you need a custom recovery to flash the superuser file that naathaanb96 linked. Copy his file to your sdcard.
link to custom recovery http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img flash this using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img
reboot into bootloader
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and select recovery from the bootloader menu. When the recovery loads select install zip from sdcard and choose the superuser zip file you copied earlier and confirm. When that completes, reboot and you're rooted.
I followed your instructions, and still not rooted.. I noticed after the installation of the superuser package that the version is 3.0.7 for android 2.0 - 3.2. but i have ICS version 4.0.4

Where did you get 3.0.7? Not from this thread, right? Because you were linked to 3.1.3, here's the link again, just to refresh your memory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1195049&d=1342168095
FYI 3.0.7 is actually compatible with ICS if you download and install the correct package.

Another Question, I have not yet unlocked the bootloader from HTCDev.com; Before that i would like to get
clarified on following
My Device is running on HTC 4.0.4 ICS with HBOOT 2.02.002 -- it can be unlocked only from HTCDev.com
1. Before ICS update, All Bootloader are unlocked other than HTCDev.com. What are the disadvantage on unlocking from HTCDev.com
2. I have installed the HTC Sync which is came along with my mobile. I Came to know, i need to uninstall HTC Sync keeping the Drivers.
Can i use the HTCSync Drivers instead from this link?

3. I am currently having problem with installing any application (.apk) from File Manager. The install button is disabled But when i cleared the media storage, i can install from file manager. But its temporary fix. But I CAN install only from Market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1643065.html
This make me much worried,
During rooting process, i need to install various files (Say, superuser.apk), will this problem in my mobile cause the rooting process to fail?
OR Installing from ADB is different so that i can install and rooting wont be interrupted.
Please help me.. I am worried about point 3, mentioned above.

As you already installed htcsync you wont need to install other USB drivers as the htcsync drivers will remain even if you uninstall it. In fact, you don't actually have to uninstall it, you can just exit the program from your taskbar. I mentioned it in the tutorial only as a precaution, anything trying to interface with the handset could interfere with adb daemon operation.
You don't need to use tpbklakes guide anymore as I have integrated that process into the script.
If you need help with the s-off process, the best place to post is in the scripts thread, I'll be able to respond much faster.
Be aware that s-off is not root, it is setting the security flag to off which enables access to all partitions, you will have to flash superuser or a custom Rom to get root access.
If you cannot install APK's from file manager, it might mean that you have not checked ALLOW NON MARKET APPS in your settings. I think it's in your development menu.

1. Flashing the superuser will also come under this your SCRIPT right?
2. I have already allowed THIRD Party non market apps. But the problem is different, in package installer screen the install button is disabled. Temporary solution is clearing the data in the media application solves the issue. But its The temporary. Whether this will have impact while flashing any files while scripting is executing?

Unlocking the bootloader does not give you root/superuser access. You need to install a custom recovery image and then you can flash SuperSu to get root/superuser access or you can install a custom, rooted ROM.

Download and Flash a clockworkmod recovery in the bootloader... To download Google it...
Then download a rom and flash it via recovery...
Give a read and try... If you are not confident enough still you have a video on YouTube following lynt's guide...

[Q] Returning HTC One M7 to stock. Assistance required with RUU.

Hi.
I should start by saying that I am completely new to rooting phones. I think it's fair to say that I am in over my head!
I am attempting to return my HTC One M7 back to stock. I have relocked to bootloader but am unable to find a RRU that is compatible with my device. I basically want my phone as it was (able to receive official OTA's etc). My phone is S-on and hasnt been S-off. I'm not confident enough to go S-off.
My phones details are shown in the attached photo. My CID is ORANG001 (UK EE).
I have been through the extensive list but none are compatible with my device.
Any assistance offered would be appreciated. Remember - speak slowly!
Thanks.

just on a side note, please tell us you DIDNT re-lock your bootloader with a cutom recovery on your phone like TWRP or CWM ?
sorry to butt in @clsA just had to ask as I wouldnt know what to do for him if there is no files availble.
I had attempted to install a custom rom but the installation failed and it factory reset my phone. Basically, I appear to be using my stock RUU but ota is appears to be disabled. I attempted to install this rom, followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189373

Ok that's fine
you need to unlock the bootloader now at htcdev.com so you can flash the correct recovery to you phone
download TWRP 2.8.5.0 here > http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
flash it
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and copy your rom to your phone again and install it again
no need to wipe again / theirs no RUU for your phone so no need to relock the bootloader any more
Very helpful. Thanks.
I'm sorry to cause further frustration, but could you give me simpler instructions? I don't want to make my situation any worse!
As I said above, I'm in way over my head.

Humm that's as simple as it gets
go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader
when it's done download TWRP 2.8.5.0 and Flash it same as you did the unlock token above, in a command prompt from the folder with fastboot in it.
when you get to the TWRP recovery screen copy your rom to the phones storage and then click install it in TWRP
choose your file you just copied and let it install
the first reboot to lollipop will take a long time ...be patient
actually your not on 7.x firmware .. you need to flash an older rom
Use this one >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22071
it matches your firmware better
Thanks. And that'll return my phone to stock?
