error boot image signature means the bootloader is locked. so u didnt install the recovery and so thats why u cant go in recovery. u just deleted the stock recovery by mistake. now u either go ahead and try unlock , flash recovery and install new rom if u want to go away from stock rom, or use kdz to restore.
<<EDIT>> i dont understand that o4x. i just told you whats ur situation there. now use search and find the solution
Hi there,
I was recently put in the same situation, i.e. I installed ROM Manager and then ClockworkMod. When I open ROM Manager --> Recovery Setup --> Install or Update Recovery --> Click on "ClockworkMod Recovery" --> I get "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your SD card is inserted and have free space!". I have made sure that I have both, therefore I do not understand why I get this error. When I select "Reboot into recovery" in ROM Manager my phone restarts and then I get the same error as ruznik.
When I try to boot into recovery manually, i.e. switch off phone, Volume UP (or DOWN) + Power button, I get the same error as ruznik. However, my phone boots normally which is always a relief.
I uninstalled ROM Manager and tried to boot into recovery and I got the same error as ruznik. Then I installed back ROM Manager and in the Recovery set up there is already "ClockworkMod recovery", which probably means that ClockworkMod was not uninstalled when I uninstalled ROM Manager.
I have rooted my LG P880, but I believe I have not unlocked the bootloader (I suspect that CWM + bootloader not unlocked is what is causing the error with booting into recovery?). I say I believe, because I did the rooting some time ago and I do not remember if I have unlocked the bootloader as well.
I would like to uninstall CMW. However, I understand that this is not a very easy thing, therefore I would be happy to reflash my EUR-XXX Jelly Bean 4.1.2, root and then unlock the bootloader. However, although I have properly installed the drivers (as this is not the first time I will flash the EUR-XXX), my phone does not connect to my PC, although it charges from the PC. I have tried with two different cables, I have enabled debugging, I have Media Sync enabled (I tried also the option LG software as I have LG PC suite installed), I have tried to connect it to different ports, I have tried to connect it to different PCs, but still nothing. Note that this is happening only with my LG P880, because I can connect properly my Iphone 4S to all 3 PCs. Also, when I open my LG PC suite, I cannot connect the mobile phone to the LG PC suite via cable, but I can connect it via Wifi connection.
I am a bit reluctant to unlock the bootloader, e.g.
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=sBeirPeT2rQ
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=iqEop-ThNug
because I do not want to brick my working phone when I cannot connect it to my PC so that I can flash it (sorry for the broken links - I am not allowed to post links because I am new to XDA). Therefore, I have two questions:
1) Is there anything I can do to connect my phone to a PC? I believe that everything went wrong after I installed ROM Manager and then CWM via ROM Manager.
2) Is it safe to unlock the bootloader while the phone is in the current state? I am not sure if the phone will restart and then will not be able to turn on again because it will be bricked? And since I have not managed to connect my phone to a PC, I am not sure how I will be able to flash the software?
Apologies for long email - I tried to be as descriptive as I can. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Hello all and thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I'll try not to post a wall of text.
In a nutshell the problem I'm having is - I cannot see my zip files in the stock recovery console under the sd update section. In fact it's like the sad card isn't seen at all. I've taken a zip of cwm, placed it on an sd card, inserted the card, boot into recovery and no zip file is seen. What I'd like is any and all details (perhaps a short tutorial with links to the right files) on how to do this.
Why? - well here's where it gets funny. Old android phone of mine I thought to be dead suddenly springs to life (sweet). It has a pattern lock which I don't remember (not sweet). Tried using google account, apparently I used a different one than the one I've been using for years... The short of it is I'd like to get my data off it or at least see what's there. I've heard I can flash cwm through the recovery console, then via cwm, flash a pattern lock reset (in theory). So I figured I'd give it a go. I hope I explained this well. Any help you guys can provide will be awesome. Thanks!
More info on the phone - no it's not setup for debugging mode. No I cannot access it via the PC. So adb and Odin are out. Also I know I can factory reset easily - not looking to do that though. Thanks again!
The stock recovery only sees the "Internal" SD card, so anything you put on your actual SD will not be detected by the recovery. Download a file manager from google play store. I don't remember which one I used in particular, but try Root Browser or ES File Manager. Copy the file from your External SD card into the Internal SD and try again. Hope this helps.
But... you say you don't know the password to the phone. I'm not sure what can be done besides factory reset...

I don't think you can flash cwm with stock recovery. If you aren't able to flash via Odin in download mode you are pretty short on options.

You can actually. That's how I did it. When I got this phone the USB to PC connection never worked, only for charging. I was disappointed that I'd be stuck with stock ROM, but I was able to install CWM via Stock Recovery.

Thanks for confirming. Sucks that the OP can't get it onto the internal, then.
If you google "a creative way to bypass pattern lock on android" the first result will show you where I got the idea from. (sorry, would have put a link here but the site won't let me)
that being said, unless the OP there is pulling our legs, it should be completely possible to access the external SD card from stock recovery as that's how he described he did it. now I don't know if stock recovery is the same on all Samsung android devices, but I would assume it likely is, or is at least close.
I'm almost sure if I had another t679 that I could get into, that I could format the card and have it work on the locked one. not sure if it's worth it to me though since at this point I'm mainly pursuing this for personal knowledge and notoriety lol. BTW thanks to all that provided insight thus far. here's to hoping someone has some additional information for me.
Dear All,
I need some help!
I had a weird issue with my tab over the weekend where it would boot to the upgrading dialog, but would only say application 1 of 1, rather than the usual 50+. This would run for hours, so I decided just to reflash the os again without a clean wipe. I imagine this may have been a bad idea. So, I went into CWM and went to flash again, but the tablet crashed just as it started the flashing process, which was bad enough. However, when I went back into CWM, I remembered Nandroid backup and I hoped I had made one! However, rather than hit recover, I selected store (clicked without thinking), which was the cherry on the top of my day of major you-know-whats.
So, the .zip (I think it is v10.1) appears to be corrupt, so I can't flash my original again.
I can't boot the OS to transfer over a new .zip (10.2 would be nice) as I normally would, as I can't start Android at all.
Putting the files on a FAT-formatted USB key isn't recognised by CWM. Trying to mount usb storage gave an error regarding lun path.
So, my questions are:
1) Is there a way to transfer an image onto the internal storage of my tab via CWM, or get it to recognise the USB storage?
2) What are my other options, if 1) isn't possible.
3) If 2) is answered in the negative, have I just made myself a fancy coaster and a good excuse to get a LG G-Pad?
Thanks for your help!
If you can boot to download mode you can use ODIN to flash a rom.

Hi upconvert,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I can get to download mode and I did try to flash a stock ROM from a hotfiles link provided elsewhere on this site last night. However, at NAND Write Start I get three errors on my tablet: WritePartition, DownloadPartition_odin, and Tegra_Nand_Write. I'm not sure what they mean (google didn't reveal any added info). I'm assuming it means the flash storage is either write-protected or can't be found?
I'm going to try and download the ROM again in case it was corrupted somehow. I will retry in the meantime but after I've wiped it again. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Ok, I was able to wipe /data, but it seems to be hanging when trying to wipe /cache. I'd expect it to be finishing in a few seconds, but this is going for minutes.

So, I've not been able to get anywhere with this. I also can't download a new odin tarball after what happened to hotfile. Anyone got any suggestions as to why the nand write errors are happening? Has the storage drive actually died on the tablet?

Have you tried to format your sdcard from CWM?, cuz formatting it might let the nand write errors disappear
I didn't follow everything you said so I don't know if you've tried the adb files push through USB or not
so if computer can recognise your device through adb try this METHOD
Oh and by the way, SAMMobile website has a new mirror website, so now you can download Odin tar files again
Directly Here is the latest FW for P7300 , and if you're more comfortable with dev-host mirror than Here you go (the two files are the same latest release)
and Here is the the latest FW for P7310, I don't have any other mirrors for that
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I can't even get access to CWM anymore. Goes straight to Odin download mode after the Samsung splash screen. Unfortunately, I found another post on XDA that seems to explain my problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532636&page=3
I think the HDD has died completely, as I am getting exactly what that chap was getting. I can't install a PIT file. I couldn't access my sdcard from CWM previously either. Sounds like tablet is a goner. Will post to Samsung and see what they say.
Thanks for your time.

Tab repaired by Samsung
Ok, eventually sent my tab off to Samsung for warranty repair. Received it back and working fine now. Not sure what they did in the end, but got my tab back at least. Thanks for everyone's help.

The imaged you linked is considered a download mode, you should be able to flash from it.
That being said, the error you got often means your internal memory is dead. Which also means that you can't get what was on it (Think of it as a hard drive that just died). Your best bet after trying to flash stock would be to partition an SD card and run from it (there's a guide on how to do it on here).

Try reinstalling your drivers to get your phone connected.
But I'm pretty sure you'll have to partition an SD card. Your internal memory sounds dead.

You gotta do some basic research. Here's the stock ROM (without bootloaders): http://www.mediafire.com/download/w..., NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.zip
Just loat it up on Odin and flash away. You can't get in recovery cause your phone can't load anything atm, it needs a clean flash. Just make sure nothing interrupts Odin while it's flashing.

You can give Heimdall a shot (note that it will install its own drivers on the usb port you'll use it on so Odin won't work on it): http://www.mediafire.com/download/5..., NO Bootloaders, Wipe-Heimdall One-Click.zip
If that doesn't work, I can say at like 95% that your internal memory is dead and you'll have to partition an SD card if you wanna get it running. There are guides on how to do it on here.
I've seen that image often. Uninstalling then re-installing the usb drivers for Samsung helped me. Flashing a captivate can be a little convoluted granted all the different methods of acquiring root and flashing a rom that's been used through the years ... and subsequently posted somewhere on the internet. I'd suggest the following .... once your device is recognized in Odin.
1. Flash I897UCKK4 with Odin (no root) for gingerbread stock rom
2. Download and install KK4root. Run Kk4 root "run" exe in the kk4_root folder. Corn kernel is installed with modded recovery system
3. From Corn kernel recovery click "root extras" to get su and busy box installed
My Note 4 has been properly rooted and working fine until recently.
Today I decided to boot into recovery and clear some crap out.
It says RECOVERY but no menu, then the Droid dude flashes on and off a black screen.
The phone will NOT boot normally, only into this crazy recovery loop.
I can get into download mode.
My rom was stock, just rooted.
Please help me fix this.
Can I download a stock rom to my sd card, get into download and install from sd...In hopes of regaining phone access??
I can't wipe anything as I can't access recovery, so I'm hesitant about going custom right now. I really just want my phone working again, so I don't have to pay insurance deductibles for a replacement.
Please advise.

Have you tried using ODIN to flash the stock firmware
Sadly, my computer died last month, so unless I can borrow someone's, Odin is not an option currently...which is why I was hoping for a device only method.
Any thoughts??
Have you tried your local carrier to see if they can flash the stock firmware for you. They may replace the phone for free. Otherwise borrowing a computer would be my next step
So I've called Tmo, who had me call Samsung...because I've apparently done everything, and I could not regain access via ODIN...so Samsung has me going to Best Buy to see if the Samsung approved folks can get a software recovery working...
I'll let you know how it goes...
In the meantime, if anyone else has any suggestions besides ODIN...
Thanks in advance!
To anyone in a similar situation...
I am sorry, but I have no good news.
The final solution is to swap the device through my carrier.
ODIN did not work.
I could not get it to read the sd card/rom from the download mode, and the recovery menu never produced.
Tmo could not help.
Samsung could not help.
