Why can't I get this to work? Driving me nuts!
I have loaded the engineering rom, rooted it, go to rom manager, reboot into recovery, and I get the red triangle screen.
Try to apply update.zip
It says:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong?
grrr
Custom Recovery
Do you have a custom recovery set up??? AmonRa or Clockwork?
Sounds like you still have the stock recovery to me.
That's the problem.
Im trying to run the update.zip in stock recovery to flash the clockwork mod.
In RomManager, it says clockwork mod is flashed, but when I hit reboot into recovery, it takes me to stock recovery.

try going to where it says flash alternate recovery, which is amon_ra, and then flash that, then try to see if you can boot into recovery.
Have you tried to flash clockwork from ADB?
EDIT - Or from terminal emulator?
No go. Same story.
Being a pain the @$$

A quick question.
We all boot our Phones into Recovery, (And i do anyway)
Run Update.zip (Fake Flash)
And hey Presto am in Clockwork Recovery,
Is there not way to Flash your Recovery to have Clockwork Recovery as the default recovery,
No more running Update.zip and when you boot into recovery your in clockwork recovery.....
(Yes i know ROM manager and other utility's do that but from the simple power on with Volume button etc)
Use unrEVOked...

Basically with unrevoke, you can permanently flashed recovery of your choice (either Clockwork mod or AmonRa) into your phone. What this mean you can go directly to your recovery (by pressing Vol - and Pwr) without booting into any application or even ROM.
i have flashed to Clockwork Recovery, but i want to flash into AR recovery. i used the unvekoed to flash the customr recovery, after the desire reboot, it is still the Clockwork Recovery. What can i do?
Did you load the AR recovery in unrevoked? Start unrevoked, custom recovery image.
I'm just asking to be sure, not that you mix up names.

ok so I just for fun tried flashing RA recovery.....now I am trying to flash back to Clockwork but cannot do so. Rom manager says it successfully flashes...and also shows it on the current recovery. but when i boot up into recovery it is still RA recovery. I then try to flash any other version of clockwork and then get the message in rom manager "an error occured while flashing your recovery' Any help or idead would be much appreciated.

Have you tried using flash_image through adb shell to flash the clockwork image to recovery parition instead of clockwork mod? Koush's site has the images for all the different phones. Only link I know is for the February versions.

Well I was able to fix it lol. After trying to flash the clockwork recovery so many times.....I just updated the rom manager app and now it flashes no problem lol. thanks again for the help.
guys help!
rooted my DHD successfully using visionary, installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.3 all fine.
when i boot into recovery i get this:
image 1
and when i try to apply a rom via sdcard:update.zip it says this:
image 2
phone just restarts and nothing is flashed...
I checked for root in Terminal Emulator and it was still there..
Seems you didn't apply S-OFF. Without it everything you do will be undone when you reboot.

he has but as he is S-ON you can't install cwm
but in Rom manager it said I had flashed to CWM 2.5.1.3 successfully....
i haven't done the s-OFF yet, i was kind of holding back on that because the guide said it was "optional"

thats the problem, without s-off you have no write access to the recovery partition, so although rom manager thought you had flashed the recovery ok, any changes made would of been reverted on boot
That was it, S-OFF was applied via One Click, then as soon as i booted into recovery, I had the proper CWM booted.
Thanks guys!
So I don't want to unroot. I have amonra, clockwork, and rom manager. When I boot into recovery it goes straight to ra recovery, I have to flash the update.zip to get to clockwork. I would just like it to boot straight to clockwork or to remove ra
I installed rom manager the other day and updated to the latest version thinking that would overide ra when booting to recovery from rom manager, only for ra to come up saying 'bad' update.
I know this will more than likely be simple, I have done a few searches but not found much apart from unrooting.

you need to re run unrevoked and untick use custom recovery so it flashes clockwork or use custom and select a clockwork recovery of choice
its in the clockworkmod thread in the dev section and the amonRA thread
please read them
Hello!
You need to unrevoked again....Downolad unrevoked for your phone, BEFORE to plug your phone to your computer go in the up left corner and choose your recovery , wich can be amonra or clockwork mod, let computer do the job and voila! You are donne
Thanks you very much dudes. I was a total noob to all things root when I did mine and just followed steps from a mate. I couldn't remember how RA got on there. Cheers
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey, so I hope you guys check this. I tried running the unrevoked again.
Only for it to seemingly get right to the end and attempt root (I thought it was just going to reflash and slap the clockwork in there) for it to say Error: failed to get root - Is your firmware too new?
Is there an easy way around this? Or is it the rom I am running??
I haveOxygen-20. RC6

how did u do that ?!?! i have ra recovery but dont want it beacuse strangely i cant and am unable to flash an roms by it !! i dunno wat d fault is but im doing evrythn correctly.. plz help me ! can i have two recoverys like u ? and how !? btw i have lg p500... plz help ! i want some other recovery so that i can flash roms from it... for some reasons im not being able to flash roms from ra recomery aka "amon_ra_recovery_installer".. any help will be appreciated !!
You don't get 2 recoveries. If you 'fake flash' using ROM Manager it'll lose CWM instead of your normal recovery
You could try to S-OFF with AlphaRev iso (which will also update the recovery to CWM-AlphaRev 2.5.1.8 with dark blue color)
When you are S-OFF you can update the recovery with fastboot
If you don't want or cannot do all this, you could try to fake flash the CMW 3.2 recovery when you need it.
Fake flash means to load another recovery (3.2) while in recovery (2.5) by simply applying a zip file. You then have all the feature of the 3.2 recovery without permanently installing it.
1) put the zip with 3.2 recovery on your SD card (zip in thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1039954)
2) boot in recovery
3) apply the zip (like you would flash a rom, but it only loads the 3.2 recovery operating system without removing/deleting any file in your phone). You should notice the text color change and a few more options in the menu.
4) enjoy
Fake Flash is more or less what what Rom Manager is doing when you use it to reboot in recovery mode (but it only supports a restricted set of recovery versions that have been tuned to work with Rom Manager).
Another benefit of fake flash is that you can still use your old nandroid backups, as it it not recommended to restore with recovery X a backup made with recovery Y.
Hi,
I'm trying to backup my rooted stock ROM with ROM Manager and ClockWork Recovery Mod before I start to mess around with LeeDroid. However every time I try to back it up I get this error message:
"E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Would anyone know why?

are you sure you have flashed CWM recovery? does it look like this? http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4899540611_d630b5c7cb.jpg because it sounds like your using the stock android recovery
Looks like I do have Android Recovery installed and not the ClockWork Recovery Mod. However no matter how many times I try to flash it via ROM Manager it just won't work. Also manually placing the CWR zip file on the SD card and then trying to 'Reboot into recovery' also doesn't work.
