[Q] Can't Update please help!

I have a Nexus One for AT&T
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version 32.26.00.24U_U4.04.00.03_2
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d [email protected] #1
Build Number FRF91
Several times a day and get a message saying:
Android Update (Part 1 of 2)
Downloaded and verified 380kb
This is the first of a two-part System Update.
[blah blah blah]
Restart & install
When I click on Restart & Install I get a multicolored X
The a ! in a triangle beside a green robot droid
The text is
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0

I they choose reboot system, and in a few minutes I get the update notice and the whole process starts again.
What do I need to do?

Install a custom rom that doesn't want to update. You can't install an official update with a custom recovery image.

Thanks for the reply.
Is it possible to get back to stock?

Yes, read the FAQ/Wiki in the pinned post in the Dev section.

[Q] failed to verify whole-file signature

Hi,
I flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS using ODIN and attempted to install CWM using ROM MANAGER but whenever I boot into recovery all I get is:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
About phone reveals:
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9000XXJW4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJW4
I have read loads of different posts about fixing this but I do not want to screw up the phone. Can someone please help me before I go mad? I believe that I need a '2e' recovery but where exactly do I get it and install it?
I am not a rookie and had absolutely no problems with my HTC Desire or ZTE Blade but this Samsung is something else.
Cheers guys.

Cheers, but I got there in the end.
My problem was that although I'd flashed the right Kernel with CWM 3, I kept trying to install CWM again from ROM Manager (v2.*.*.*) and this is what was causing the issue. I refashed the Kernel and got into Recovery Mode straight away. I have now installed a Cyanogen JB ROM.
Thanks,

I just got the above on everything I tried, after flashing "CWM".
Turns out I clicked the wrong link and downloaded a file labelled similarly, but was in fact not CWM recovery but a modified stock recovery.
That said, the CF-AUTOROOT package for my I9500 did work on it... I just had to go into recovery again, right away, and then install SuperSU from the market. I had to flash the proper CWM recovery to get all the other fancy ZIPs to work, such as the pretty Philz touch recovery.

Eureka!! Got answer!
Hi Dude,
I got the solution as I just faced it and came over from it.
The thing is simple. You have been trying to install the update.zip or superSU.zip from your default android recovery. thats y its showing error. That means the custom recovery has not been successfully installed on your mobile. so pls try again then it will surely install.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
The link which i got solution and u should consider it.

Hope this helps you dude. let me know if u have any ques.
Thanks all.

Was he updating via OTA? was the device's bootloader unlocked? Assuming it wasn't and that he had no recovery installed.
Anyways, Try this:
- Turn off phone
- Press & Hold 'Volume Down' + 'Power' to get to bootloader screen.
- Once on it, Press 'Volume Down' ONCE to select Recovery.
- and then press 'Volume Up' to enter stock recovery
- wait for the dead android guy (this is stock recovery).
- Now Press 'Volume Up' + ' Power' multiple times, until it takes you to a recovery with options.
- Now Wipe Partition Cache, and then do a Factory Wipe.
This should get the phone booting.
Nevertheless,
Here's the link to the Android 6.0 Official firmware (since you said it failed while updating):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-firmware-titan-xt1068-t3312933
PS: Trying to downgrade to lollipop after marshmallow upgrade has bricked devices because of old bootloader being flashed which leads to partition corruption. ergo - BRICKED DEVICE.
Incase you wish to downgrade to Lollipop 5.0.2, you'll find links to other thread with the guide & ROM download links here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/help-downgrading-to-lollipop-t3315220
Hope this helped! :fingers-crossed::good:

Since it failed during update i don't know whether its on lollipop boot loader or marshmallow. But to be on safe side i will install 6.0 because it will upgrade bootloader.
Thanks for reply i will post later when i get phone.

Hello, I'm having a similar issue as well. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone via this method of temporary custom recovery. If I understand correctly, I still have stock recovery. My phone got wiped in the process but once it booted back up, I noticed the new system update. However when I try to install it, it keeps failing. I keep getting an error message that says something similar to "Update unsuccssful : The system update could not be installed for some reason. No changes were made". Would I be able to install the OTA update manually if I were to download the Android 6.0 Official firmware you've linked in the post? By copying it to my SD card > booting into stock recovery > install from sdcard? Also, would greatly appreciate it if you have any suggestions about other ROMs if you think they're better than this official one.
Relevant details:
Android version: 5.0.2
System version: 22.56.3.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.retin
Edit: Oh never mind, the above method didn't work. Got this instead.
Code:
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

I haven't got to testing the stock MM ROM as of yet, So I wouldn't compare it with other ROMs, however there are quite a few 6.0 based ROMs in the android development section, and ofcourse CM13 in the original android development section . You can have a look at those.
As for the error, it's because the link I gave is not for any OTA zip, it has the system files which are fastboot flashable, use the auto restore script available in the thread to install 6.0 on your device(since it has been wiped recently, I'm guessing you aren't gonna lose any data).
Also, Once upgraded to 6.x, DO NOT downgrade to 5.x without reading proper instructions. The FAQ and General thread is full of posts with people bricking their devices. Read instruction if downgrading!
I hope this helped! Happy flashing! :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, I figured it out. Seems that I wasn't able to get the OTA update working because of root, which was contrary to what the guys in the above thread had me believe. I took a look at some of the ROMs but wasn't feeling confident about any of them, so have decided to stick with 6.x stock until a stable version appeals to me. And yeah, I read that the bootloader version is upgraded in 6.x which seems to be causing the hard bricks. Thanks for the assist btw, cheers!

OTA ROM help needed

I am using Spice dream uno mi-498 H with stock ota. Never unlocked boot-loader or rooted my phone. Yesterday my phone went into bootloop.
I tried factory reset through recovery but still the problem remained.
I downloaded a marshmallow ROM and tried to update it via sd card. It was stuck on "verifying update package" but I tried several times and at last it threw error as -
Cant install this package (Thu Sep 24 22:31:53 UTC 2015) over newer build (Fri Aug 12 02:08:39 UTC 2016).
Error in /sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Please give me link of latest stock ota ROM

I will go for the second option. Please clear my doubts about unlocking bootloader. I read several posts on xda regarding that but still needs some clarification.
1. It is not necessary to enable USB debugging. Am I Right?
2. I downloaded Android one toolkit but it is not detecting my phone. Probably drivers are not installed ?
If yes then how to install drivers? I tried pda net but it is asking for usb debugging.

Hello,
What zip did you tried to install via stock recovery?
FYI - you can't just flash any OTA [Like 6.0* via MOB31E] you must need a custom recovery to do that.
Okay, if it's still looping like infinitely, just try installing custom recovery via fastboot... And once you get custom recovery like twrp, perform a clean wipe and flash full stock zip.
If you still failed, then simply visit a service centre near by and ask them for downgrade it to either Kitkat or 5.1 LP.
I'm not gonna recommend you to use SPFT yourself, Cuz there are Buncha cases over here.. ie; phone got hard bricked while using SPFT... So just visit a service centre nearby and fix it.

Update - I was passionate about stock ROM as I wanted to reciece ota updates. Unfortunately things went in a different way. After trying few stock ROM which failed to install, finally I decided to use a custom ROM. I unlocked the OEM, flashed TWRP recovery and then cyanogen mode.
Welcome me to the CM community.
In first hour of my use, I am missing FM radio along with ota. Also the screen seems dull even if I turn off LiveDisplay. Any quick suggestions for new users of CM?

Flash a ROM on a soft bricked Tab S2 T810 - Recovery mode only

Hi there,
Now, this issue may already been addressed but if so, I couldn't find it.
I have a T810 tablet and I was running the stock ROM. Last year I flashed a custom ROM and so I thought when I entered recovery mode I was using some kind of custom recovery tool. But I was using the system one.
I formatted everything before attempting to flash LineageOS 'Apply update from SD card', resulting in the following output:
Code:
-- Install /sdcard/lineageos-16.0-20190407-nightly-gts210vewifi-signed.zip --
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Installation aborted
Now, obviously, when I try to turn the tablet on, I'm redirected to the recovery tool because there is no OS installed.
Also, I suppose this tool isn't meant for any type of zip file and I need a specific one.
Can someone point out to me where I can download the appropriate file?
I tried for the brief moment I could make ADB work flashing a ROM but it resulted in a similar issue.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT:
I tried flashing 'T810XXU2CPD9_T810XAC2CPE2_HOME.tar.md5': E:failed to map file
Everything I flash with adb result in footer or signature error.
I would really love an insight on how I can fix my tablet now that I f-'ed up everything.

I'm sorry for bumping this but I'm still trying to figure out how to unbrick my device. If you have anything for me, please tell me. I don't want to lose my tablet.

Can you enter download mode after reboot?
If you can,you can flash an official rom with Odin.
Cheers
