[q] broken recovery?

Hello experienced gurus out there, I am in need of some help tonight.
Here is my scenario:
I started out tonight with a stock rooted INC. I saw the thread for the new Skyraider and thought I would try and install it. I went ahead and pushed the PB31IMG to unroot and go back to bare bones stock. I rebooted and then installed Verizon's OTA as instructed in the thread on how to upgrade the radio. I then removed the PB31IMG from my SD card and installed the Dinc_OTA file to upgrade the radio. That went through fine and I double-checked to make sure the baseband version was correct which it was. Next, I rooted using UNrevoked 3 and then make a Nand backup immediately after. I rebooted the phone and then set up my Google account and downloaded Rom Manager from the Market. I flashed the ClockworkMod from ROM manager and then proceeded to Install ROM from SD card option. It goes into recovery and I see a screen with a red exclamation point and the little Android guy and then I hit vol up + Power to go to the recovery menu. I selected install zip from SD and then selected the Skyraider zip and confirmed installation.
It started going through files and in the end gives me a message that says "Installation aborted"
Here is what it actually says on the screen in its entirety (in case this helps):
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to seek /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
--Installing: SDCARD:SkyRaider2.2Vanilla.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Thats it...
The first time I tried this, instead of hitting install from SD, I rebooted it to check the system version and then went to ROM manager again. Aas soon as it started it came up with this message that gave three options it seemed. One said "broken" recovery" and I forget what the other said, but it gave a link to email the developer Koush.. something. I clicked where it said broken recovery and then tried installing ROM from SD again in ROM manager. It brought me to the Recovery screen and thats when I went into the Recovery Menu and tried pushing the file from there and then got the installation aborted message that I typed out up there^^^
What should I do? Try to re-install ClockworkMod? Revert back to the old radio and then start from scratch? Anybody in the know please help me.
I reflashed Unrevoked and now SkyRaider IS installing. Just a glitch I guess, although I DID have Superuser before.

Error while OTA, now: Do I have a brick?

Hi all,
On monday I was looking forward to download Froyo, and since then I live a nightmare. Everything starts cool, it downloaded, it installed itself, and when it restarted.... NIGHTMARE, it started to keep on restarting every two o three minutes after saying the system has a problem.
Since that moment I lost Wifi and mobile features, as well as SD-card reading posibilities.
What I found after some reboots is that I could get into the bootloader and select Recovery, and so I did... and I chose wipe data/factory reset. Everything got delete, and now I could see the screen when it loads (HTC Sense screen).
After this I have tried almost everything, a goldcard to copy a new update.zip file (but when I do it I got the following message:
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
And this had happen with any single update.zip file I found in these forums and others.
I have tried to use revoked3, and I got an error saying it can not keep on installed.
So... do i have a brick or does someone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much in advance for any piece of help.
Guillermo
did you update to the latest radio ?

I haven't used revoked recovery, but I know that ROM Manager recovery has an option to 'disable signature verification' (or similar wording) that should get rid of your verify option. As for the reboot loop, usually if you remove the SD card completely, and go into fastboot mode and wipe storage, you get booted up ok.
In my experience, its pretty near impossible to permanently brick an Android handset, so keep at it. You will get it working fully again in the end.
(I lost SD, BT and USB functionality in late July and had everything working again in 24 hours - after lots of panic and stress!).
Feel free to PM me if you get totally stuck.
When and how??
I think I did not, but I did not know I have to do it. I mean, my phone was working fine, I download FROYO, it crashs.... when should I put a new Radio????
Best regards

[Q] Install Android upgrade after removing CyanogenMod 7 and installing hBoot 0.80

Hi everyone,
I wanted to try CyanogenMod 7 and I installed ClockworkMod. Honestly I didn't like it for several reasons, so I've brought back my phone to the original system. The thing is everything works just fine except I want to install the system upgrade, the download is done and my mobile phone reboots in the attempt to apply the new system changes and... it stops, there's this triangle with an exclamation mark in it and the android robot. I try to press some buttons and clockworkmod shows up. An error is shown and it's the following:
Code:
download/OTA_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1-1.37.405.1_P_release_160253fsslvctb45xcxfhv.zip]
E: Can't mount SDCARD:download/OTA_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1-1.37.405.1_P_release_160253fsslvctb45xcxfhv.zip
Installation aborted.

I'd like to restore my system and get the latest upgrade, do I need to uninstall ClockworkMod? I've looked a bit in this forum for a solution but I didn't quite understood how to proceed. Will please anyone explain it to me?
A few infos you might need to know:
Hboot ver. 0.80
ClockworkMod Recovery ver. 3.0.0.6
Thank you for your help.
Update: I've managed to get into ClockwordMod and manually choose to install from zip file so I reach the download folder and select it, an error occurs:
Code:
-- Installing /sdcard/download/OTA_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1-1.37.405.1_P_release_160253fsslvctb45xcxfhv.zip

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 x Updating, Signature verification failed

Hello all. First off I'm sort of new to the Android rooting scene as I have only rooted my phone and nothing else.
I've recently had my phone prompt me to update. So naturally I hit "install" and let it restart and boot into download mode but, after it goes into CWM it says this;
Code:
CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
E:Invalid command Argument
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: Signature verification failed
Installation Aborted
I can provide the file it's trying to update from if needed, XDA doesn't like me posting links as a new user.
Naturally I thought I should boot up my phone on Odin and just put the Update.zip into the PDA slot. But I'm worried I may brick my phone as I really have no certain idea of what I am doing here.
If anyone could please offer me some support on updating my phone, it would be greatly appreciated. The 3 hour postpone messages are really starting to piss me off.
Please excuse my ignorance and thank you in advance.
if you have CWM you cant install an OTA software update. you must use the original (stock) recovery. also you will use root when you do an OTA update. you could try OTA rootkeeper to keep the root but ive never tried it.
use odin + later firmware.

[Q] (RR 4.3) Note 7100 Battery Low then got stuck at Samsung Logo

Hi, I am needing your help badly.
Earlier today I was running low on battery. I tried to switch it back on as I am waiting for an important message. I left it on at 1% and placed my phone back to my bag. When I checked it for messages, I saw the samsung logo and thought that phone might have rebooted.
After 30minutes, it's still stuck at samsung logo. When i arrived home I plugged it in for charging and tried to switch it off, it won't let me. So i went to recovery. Then I saw an error:
E: could not mount data/data to set up/data/media path!
E: can't mount/cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount/cache/recovery/log
E: can't open/cache/recovery/log
E: can't mount/cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open/cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't mount/cache/recovery/last_install
E: can't open/cache/recovery/last_install
I tried to wipe cache/dalvik it was successful but it gives me the error above. I tried to reinstall RR 4.3 but i get an error that says installation aborted.
I tried to backup, it says it can't find a path.
I have not installed any app. Recent activity: installed CM Glass Theme to phone.
I am really lost on what to do now. Would really appreciate your help.
Thank you so much.

if you can't even flash with Odin, then I hope you still have warranty

Not sure about the exact issues with SDS. But I can still see it charge, only when I power on, I'm stuck on Samsung logo. Also, I no longer have warranty
