I am trying to install the ozzey ROM on my incredible I just got it and rooted it. I have Rom managr, astro file viewer and titanium backup installed. I know I can do it via update.zip or Rom manager but it always fails and says signature verification failed. I triple checked the file to see that it was in .zip not .zip.zip I had windows show the hidden file extensions. In Rom manager it says whole file verification failed along with signature file. Astro file viewer shows it as update and on the root of the SD card but still get the error. I haven't done nand unlock or backup, and I don't care about looking any apps its a new phone with nothing on it. Any suggestions or method instructions? Does the SD card have to be fat32? My SD card is the 2gb pny card. Thanks!
You should just be able to use the .zip, put it anywhere on your sd card. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (If you flashed the new recovery using reflash.exe from unrevoked), DO A NANDROID BACKUP (this is a full system backup), format the user data and cache partition (both options), select update with a .zip and select your preferred .zip file (in your case ozzeh's)
See here for more information and any questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220
Any thoughts as to why I am getting those errors? Can I use the re flash tool and go into clockmode recovery and install througt that?
If you do not have clockwork recovery you're not going to be able to flash a ROM. You need to use the reflash tool before you can flash any ROMS.
i have clockwork recovery its on my phone but it still won't flash. Also I tried the reflash but it keeps saying that its interrupted, I uninstalled HTC Sync and it still doesn't work. I also tried to format the sd card to fat32 and ran clockwork recovery but it didnt work same error
It's not clear from your posts exactly what your error is. You say you have Clockworkmod Recovery installed but you keep referencing trying to flash from ROM Manager.
What happens when you boot into Recovery and try to flash the zip file from there?
I instaleld Clockworkmod from ROM Manager, 2.0.1.3 is the verison of clockworkmod I have installed on the phone. I then use ROM Manager to install ROM SD card and it fails, it says signature verification failed and whole-file verification failed. I booted into it and it says it can't find the file in /cache/ and it says verification failed so it aborts and reboots.

You might want to try a different rom and see how it goes.
That makes no sense. You can't flash CWM Recovery from ROM Manager on the Incredible (although you can update a prior install, sort of); you have to use unrevoked's tool.

I thought I remember reading in some thread that ROM Manager going to clockworkmod will not work because there is no write access.
You will have to use recovery reflash tool to install the clockworkmod recovery and boot into it.

You can use Rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery and install the zip from there however, you can't use the feature "Install rom from sd card" within rom manager itself.
Well I tried using just ROM manager to boot into clockwork and I was able to but it still gives me the same errors. I can't do the unevoked flash it reboots then says the communications were intruputed. I deleted HTC synch and had the usb on both disk drive connection and HTC synch but it doesn't go through

Did you ever successfully use unrevoked's flash utility? If you just downloaded rom manager and booted in to recovery without successfully flashing, that won't work.
If you're having problems using the reflash tool then I suggest you get that working and then try again installing a rom.
Use terminal emulator to verify u have su.. Just type su and click accept, if u can do that follow word for word unrevoked reflash method, including installing the correct drivers for adb.

i just did terminal emulator and i get root acess, #, superuser comes up and allows me to access it, so I will try again but for some reason I get that communication was interuppted.
hey, thanks to all you guys I finally got the custom ROM to work. I did the revoked flash, i had to delete the old htc driver and start again, and once it finally flashed just mounted the sd card and installed, worked perfectly, thanks again!!

Congrats man, good to hear you finally got it working.
Anytime I try to do anything through Rom Manager (flash a ROM, nandroid backup, etc.) upon rebooting into recovery, I get a white triangle with an yellow exclamation point. After pressing the power button, the following text is revealed along with the Clockwork Recovery Menu.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
If I select advanced->Reboot Recovery after receiving the error, the device reboots. After this second reboot, the process continues as it should have after the first reboot. I've tried downgrading the version of my Clockwork Recovery, but it seems to have no effect.
Any ideas?
...
I believe the standard array of initial questions would be:
1) Did you flash S-OFF?
2) Is your card FAT32 formatted
3) Try redownloading the file using a different browser (to ensure a cache doesn't deliver the same update.zip without trying)

This failure isn't specific to any one file. Besides, I don't think it's a corruption of the file since it works when I select "reboot recovery" from the first failed attempt. In fact, this even happens when choosing "Backup ROM" from ROM Manager.
On a side note, I've tried wiping cache in ROM Manager as well.
Toggle Signature Verification and/or is d/l corrupt?
In CWM, have you tried toggling the on or off setting for the signature verification, as well as the other toggle?
Also, I read some superb advice here:http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765930
check out the advice in post # 285 and see if that fixes you up.
Everyone seems to think my downloads are corrupt. That is definitely not the problem. If they were corrupt, they wouldn't function after the first reboot. They would continue to fail. Let me try explain my problem another way...
Here's my device setup...
Radio - 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel - King's BFS #4
ROM - SR Vanilla RC 2
CWM Version - 2.5.0.5
ROM Manager Version - 2.0.2.6
Here's a process I'm following...
1. Open ROM Manager
2. Clear Download Cache (Just to be sure!)
3. Select Backup Current ROM which causes reboot into recovery.
4. Receive the error which I outlined in my first post. *NOTE* I have not downloaded nor chosen to flash ANY update.zip files. *NOTE*
5. Open the advanced menu in CMW and choose "Reboot recovery" which causes the phone to reboot into recovery.
6. The backup progresses like it should have after the first reboot.
Again, the process above does not involve the use of any downloaded update.zip files. No ROMS, no Kernels, etc.
Does ROM Manager create it's own update.zip file stored in /cache to execute whatever function it needs to after reboot? It appears that might be the case.
I've attempted to reinstall ROM Manager and downgrade to an early version of CWM in ROM Manager. Neither seem to have helped.
I had the same problem trying to flash the latest leedroid
I entered recovery, de-selected signature verification and then flashed the rom through recovery mode.
Flashed normally and up to now it looks like it worked (waiting for first boot)
Hope this helped
Both signature verification and script asserts are toggled off. This is why the update.zip will flash after the second reboot into recovery and manually.
In recovery, is cache, data, or system mounted? If so, can you unmount any/ all, and reboot?

I just started having this problem today, at least i noticed it today. It acts as if the signature verification is enabled the first try and disabled the second time. I can't find ANY way to fix this but reboot recovery and it works... If anyone finds a solution, please post.
*edit* I also noticed the "Fix Permissions" utility doesn't work in ROM Manager. Dont know if this is related or not.

Did you change anything today? I found someone in the SR ROM thread today that started having the same problem.
No, only an app and removed it. I dont know how long it has been broke since I haven't used it since SR 3.0rc1.. got tired of the reminder for rc3 and it wouldn't automagically run the install.zip.
Interesting.... Please post as this shakes out.

I have this same issue, I think it's an issue with Rom Manager. No matter what I try to do from there (Reboot to Recovery, make backup, flash zip, etc.) I get that string of messages.
If I download a file from ROM manager to be flashed, I have to move the file to the root of the sd card before booting to recovery for it to flash correctly. I have just gotten used to doing it this way.

If you look in the OP for the SR ROMS, you'll see that a known issue. He includes a fix_permissions binary instead.
I've reached out to the developer. Hopefully we will hear from him soon.
Can you guys try clearing your download cache, and then reflashing recovery?
Possible workaround

Cache wipe have been tried, see post #3.
I have some info that may be valuable:
This evening I rooted my Desire (SLCD) using Unrevoked 3.14 and recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img I realize this is the incredible forum but hold on.. hear me out
I observed the _exact_ same behavior:
- Yellow eclamation + second reboot to recovery would run backup, also happened when selecting "Reboot Into recovery" in RomManager (RM)
- Tried DL cache wipe in RomManager,
- Tried reflash of recovery
This fixed it for me:
- Re-root via Unrevoked 3.14 using recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
- Re-flash CM (this may be optional, I don't know)
- Boot ROM and start RM just to have it tell me I need to install recovery (obviosly didn't detect my 2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd)
- Allow RM to flash 2.5.0.7-bravo via download
- Now "Backup ROM" and "Reboot to recovery" works as intended
- RM reports 2.5.0.7-bravo installed, recovery booted (via RM) is 2.5.0.7-bravo BUT recovery booted using HBOOT (back+power on Desire) is 2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd (!)
Note: Incredible users should _not_ use -bravo recovery images(!) just outlining how I made it work to help you find a solution

And both are followed by 'E: verification failed. Installation aborted' any one know what is going on?

For the verification failed make sure you toggle off the the verification signed in recovery

You mean toggle signature verification right? Everytime I disable it, it says that unsigned items may currupt my system.

Swyped From My Rom But I Will Always Be A Mynion!
I'm trying to install [KingsROM][Alliance ROM] [r6.3] [w/Sense 3.0 Rosie] Beta 6/17/11 " A Step Up " ROM . When I try to flash the rom it hits Verifying update package.. than it comes up 'E:Wrong digest: system/app/rosie.apk E:Verifcation failed'. I wiped before trying to flash. Does anybody know what i have to do to fix this? Thank you.
BigNick-
That's a signature check error. If you changed something in the zip resign it. If it's unaltered the dev didn't sign it right. If your recovery allows it then toggle off sig check.
It says verification failure, so in recovery, right before flashing, you will see signature verification, toggle it so that its disabled, then try flashing it again.
I'm not seeing where i can toggle off signature verification in recovery... I see :
-reboot system now
-usb-ms toggle
-Backup/restore
-flash zip from sdcard
-wipe
-partition sdcard
-other
-power off
looks like i need clockworkmod
Check under other or flash from sdcard. You don't need clockwork, you just need to learn how to use your recovery.

stock recovery gives me error "E:signature verification failed"
In stock recovery, I can see my sdcard and select which zip file i want to install.. but when i do, i get the signature verification error.
CW recovery cannot see my sdcard (tried 3 different cards so far) and gives me error: files not found. Mounting SDcard does not do anything.
reformatted the 3 SDcards many times. , wiped the phone cache and tried disabling signature verification in CW recovery.
Phone is bricked now and has no ROM installed. Access to download and recovery mode are my 2 options only.

You're getting the signature error.because you are trying to flash an unofficial zip. With stock recovery the zip has to have a signature for it to flash.(this is why we need custom recovery)
What version of cwm are you flashing? If its the one that doesn't support the external SD card you have to put whatever zip you want to flash on the internal SD card, not the external. I think newer versions of cwm released have support for the external card. If you can get into download mode I would suggest flashing the stock rom and kernel through odin

Had this happen to my brother's phone last night where sd cards won't read and he couldn't flash a ROM. Your phone is not bricked if you can get into CWM or Odin mode. Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420
Use Odin to flash to the stock eg30.tar and start from scratch. I'm new so I hope I didn't lead you into the wrong path or tell you something you already knew. Good luck!

Can you give a bit more explanation?
Which kernel do you have installed right now? Which ROM do you have installed?
Here is how i fixed this:
1- File (SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3 (SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar) allowed me back into SDCard since it has CWM5. CW5 was able to do what CWM4 was not : give me access to sdcard. It also eliminated signature verification error.
2- Loaded Starburst ROM.
One common misconceptions here.
Very few people here understand the difference between firmware, kernel and ROM. You search for stock ROM and you will get stock kernel, stock firmware but NEVER stock ROM.
Also, ODIN DOES NOT allow ROM flashing. Odin does not recognize zip format. All ROMs are in zip format.
