My nexus has been a great platform for running roms for quite a while now, but after installing CM6 as of late it has been really picky about what it can flash. For instance the only way I got it to install the normal stock rom afterwards was by putting it in as passimg.zip. Every time I try to flash something to it now, the signature verification fails. Anyone else have this problem?
Edit: If I install a rooted room, it gives me
"assert failed: !less_than_int(1277930906, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))
E: Error in /sdcard/update blah blah .zip
(Status 7) Installation Aborted
Did you lose root?
I don't think so, I could try unlocking the boot loader again but it says unlocked at the top already...and it won't even flash normal signed passion roms...
what recovery do you have? have yopu tried fastboot flash recovery? like amon rah
I ended up using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
to fix it.
It still refuses any update.zip file that isnt OTA...
every signature varification fails instantly. So I guess until I throw this phone in the trash pile or just use it for an MP3 player..its not going to be doing anything in the way of modding
If you've used the original shipping ROM tutorial/passimg, then you'll have a stock recovery that will of course only install released signed things.

right and I flashed clockworks recovery to get it off the standard. I guess I could go out and get Root again without it, but at this point I don't see the point with Gingerbread coming out. I'm just glad to not have a paper weight sitting next to my computer again.
btw Calling Tmo/HTC doesn't help. Most of the guys there don't have a clue what FRG83 is even lol
Keep in mind, if you have the stock on there, it will wipe out your custom recovery and restore it to the stock recovery every time you restart the phone.
So if you flashed Clockwork, after a reboot the stock recovery will be there again.
Yes amonra and cwr have options to toggle off verification best to start with amonra recovery then go through the steps
Ok, in short I can't restore my rom after flashing Cyanogenmod 7 RC1. If I try to recover the phone remain locked in recovery mode.
That's the full story anyway:
Had a Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 (Italy) rooted with CF-root
Made a backup with clockworkmod (no problem)
Made data/app backup with titanium backup (no problem)
Flashed Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 (no problem)
Restore Titaniun backup, have all my app back but had the first problem. None of my data has been restored, contacts, sms, calls... nothing. Why I ask?
Found that I can't access my sd card, read about the downgrade to froyo. Ok, time to restore to my original rom.
Made a restore of my nandroid backup, via rom manager.
BANG, phone hang up at boot on Galaxy S initial logo.
Ok, don't panic, restored an Eclair 2.1-u1 Rom via odin/download mode. Build XWJM7, Base XXJM3 (I read Flashing Eclair is safer)
Tried to update Android via Kies, but I get a message that my version cannot be upgraded.
Rooted Eclair via oneclickroot, installed rom manager/clockworkmod and tried again to restore my rom backup.
The restore seems to go Ok but the phone is stucked in recovery mode (2e). I get the Galaxy S logo for a few second, then logo disappear and reappear an phone go in recovery mode saying:
installing multi-csc
can't access to /system/csc/itv/system/
successfully applied multi-csc.
There is no way to go on, if I choose update.zip, phone go to clockworkmod recovery. Tried to restore an older backup, same result.
Now I'm again on Eclair.
So is there a way to have my original rom back via clockworkmod? Or I have to flash original CSC/MODEM/CODE via odin?
Thanks for helping.
I think your best choice is to flash from odin in download mode with a clean stock rom with re-partition to start again on a good base.
I made some other test.
Extracted the .img from cwm backup. The boot.img file is corrupted on both backup, file are identical so I though there's a problem backing up bootloader on my phone with cwm.
So I tried to recover all but boot. When I reboot (from eclair, cwm 2.5.1.2) in recovery mode I always get to android recovery 2e. As before if I select update.zip (and update is not present) system get me to cwm recovery. I select advanced restore and system ecc. but get the same problem the before: I get stucked in android recovery.
So again I flash via odin this time to gingerbread, rooted with cf-root, launch cwm manager tried for the last time to recover my damned backup.
And UA-TA! has my phone restored.
Any one has I idea why I was able to restore my rom (and app/data) only AFTER I restored my rom in another way?
I also made backup but it was giving error when i try to restor it

What error do you get?
Hey guys,
I used odin to get boot it back up and then I used ClockworkMod to restore backed up data....
After phone said 'restore complete,' I let the phone reboot, but the phone will not reboot
at&t screen pops up and then black out then pops up again then into android recovery mode.
Any ideas?
Could you please provide a little more information about how you got to where you are? (e.g. what rom/kernel/modem/theme you were flashing, what ODIN you used, what version of CWM, etc.) Anything you provide will be helpful in troubleshooting.
Well I had cognitive 4.5.3 installed and I tried restoring using clockmod recovery
the restore wasn't successful and the phone would stay black screened after Galaxy S logo screen
So I turned on odin3 and put my phone on download mode then hit start on odin3
that successfully restored the phone to froyo 2.2 without any of my data
so I tried using clockmod recovery once again to restore the backup
and then... that's where I am
The phone won't boot. It will just go into recovery mode
Here's the message I got after trying to restore once again
--------------------------------
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2

When did you make that nandroid backup? If you made it while on stock, you'll have to go back to stock first, then run the restore command. If on cognition, you'll need to be on the version you were on when you made the backup and restore there.
Here's the link I found on how to return to stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I've done the first part - before the master reset and then tried restoring the backup and that is how I got to where I am right now.
Do I need to factory reset as well?
If I do factory reset, won't that erase the backup file?
Thanks. I really appreciate your help

To answer your question, doing the master clear will erase EVERYTHING stored in the phone's internal memory. Don't do that step now, as you should be able to get out of where you are without doing that.
I think where your problem occurred is that at some point you made a nandroid backup in CWM, and by trying to restore that on stock, it's freaking out. If you can remember what ROM setup you had on your phone when you made the backup, you could try to get back to that setup to use the restore option in CWM.
Before doing any of the things you're doing now, had you made a backup in Titanium Backup?
I do have backup made with Titanium Backup.
apps data and everything that I could backup with Titanium Backup
Will restoring what I had backed up with Titanium Backup and then restoring the system using CWM work?
I am currently at 2.2 Froyo, which was the rom I was using when backing up using CWM
You've flashed 2.2 stock? If so just flash the rom you previously had with cwm then let it boot. After it boots reboot into cwm then perform a restore in cwm. If that doesnt work nand backup might not be good and you will just have to flash stock again and just rub tibu and leave it at that.
**Thing about NAND backups is that you have to use the same system when you restore (i.e. you nand backup usng cognition then you flash another rom when you nand restore its not going to boot).
Thanks guys for the suggestions!
My phone has been saved!
Hi guys,
I used CWM recovery and made a backup of my gingerbread ROM before flashing ICS. Then I used the LCD dencity modder and my phone wouldn't boot into ICS.
So, I went ahead and cleared cache/wipe factory data.
Now when I went back to restoring my gingerbread backup this is what came up:
Restoring system...
Error while restoring /systm!
Couldn't open directory.
No files found.
WHAT the hell did I do????
Any help is welcome, I'm panicking right now
Ok, nevermind, it worked on the 3rd time. Phew!
Don't panic. Read this thread and you'll get out of trouble:
