(which now i find out didnt work) Then i go and do a full wipe. when i go to flash my rom it goes all the way through and errors out at the end. this is the error i get:
assert failed: write_rawimage("/tmp/boot.img","boot:
E:Error on /sdcard/fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted

i sent my phone back to HTC for a new motherboard, got it back today.
It came back with HBOOT 92.00, i managed to change it to HBOOT 80.000, now here is where the problems start.
I had it rooted before i sent it away, now i can't root it for the life of me!
i downloaded the latest root kit "r6-desire-root-alt", load the fastboot start step one and it starts to flash, then i get this error "FAILED <remote: main version check fail" it continues to do the flash, then it restarts the phone, i go into the bootloader, then recovery, i get the blue recovery screen, then i do a wipe data/factory reset, then i go to apply the update.zip, it goes to verify the package and fails on the signature, so i can't go any further.
Anyone got any fixes, this is wrecking my head! all i want to do is run titanium and restore all my stuff!

Did you even bother reading the post?!
I forgot to mention in there that i have tried unrevoked and it doesn't pick up my desire, and the drivers for unrevoked don't want to install.
So here's the deal. I have A rooted Droid Incredible and i cant get past the splash image. I tried going into recovery and wiping everything and flashing a new rom but I keep getting the following message:
E: Can't mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1
It comes up when i try to flash a rom and says installation aborted about halfway through installing. It also comes up when i try to wipe and do a factory reset.
If anyone knows a way around this It would be immensely helpful, because as of right now i cant use my phone which is a problem. I'm running clockwork recovery v2.5.0.5.

no clue how to fix, but didn't you make a nandroid? restore to that for now so that your phone at least works, until you get an answer.

What you want to do is RUU. Go to the link in my siggy 3G drops, and d/l the RUU.
I'm not the most knowledgeable here by a long shot, but I feel your panic. First thing I would try is pulling the battery, waiting a few minutes, and then put it back in, boot to recovery, and try to restore your backup. Fingers crossed- at least this will hold you until someone who knows more than I starts asking the right questions.
Oh, and second, try searching for that error message maybe.
That's all I got. Good luck!
Edit: while I was writing this, two others gave advice first
Hey there.
First, I am new to this. I followed instructions on how to root my galaxy s2. Now, my phone is rooted. Tried to load clockwork version 5.0.2.7 by putting the zip file and loading it while in recovery. When I try, I recieve a exclamation mark inside a triangle. It tries to load, but stop.
I also recieved "E:failed to verify whole-file signature, E:signature verification failed."
I then tried downloading rom manager and doing it from there. Same thing. It will start and then I will ge the triangle again.
Love the phone. But, if I cannot put custom roms on it, imma return it.
Any help ia appreciated. Again, I am new to this. So, basic instructions for me please!
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ok, this is my first post so forgive if this is in the wrong section...
I have a friend's Galaxy Note 2 ATT that was stuck on the Galaxy Note 2 Boot screen, and it wouldn't go any further.
Because I work for Samsung at the Samsung Experience Shop, I tried running it through our smart reflash tool
-----> This didn't work because it would fully download it onto the phone, but when it got to the Android with the thing spinning in its chest, it would stop and ALWAYS freeze halfway.
Next step I tried doing was going through Samsung Kies and downloading the stock OS and load that, but the same Android with the spinning thing in its chest would show up and it would freeze.
Due to this guy being my friend I told him I would try anything to get his phone to work again (root, to custom recovery, to custom rom)
My steps so far:
1. I have successfully rooted my device via ODIN 1.85 by using CF-Auto-Root
2. Afterwards, I loaded on a custom recovery via ODIN 1.85 which now is philz_touch_6.07.9
Here is my problem now, I've tried searching everywhere and I can't really find the answer...
Whenever I try to side load a rom through ADB through Android tools (its in the right directory and everything because it transfers over), I keep getting an error message "E: Error in /tmp/update.zip (status 7) Installation Aborted."
Now before I get that error I get stuff like getprop("ro.product.device")==t0lte" ||getprop("ro.build.product").... etc. and it goes on and on.
So far the ROMs that I have tried were Cyanogenmod 10.1 and the Pacman Rom, and yes, both are for the correct device like the model name/number match up. And now how I said I thought I rooted the device, whenever I try to reboot into recovery via Philztouch, it says at the top Root Access is missing. Root device, and I click yes. When it reboots into recovery and I want to turn the phone off again, it still says Root Access is missing.
I am open for anything really. My friend just wants his phone to work again. and I've literally exhausted all of my ideas as I keep running into the same issue.
What am I doing wrong? and is something like this possible to fix? Or is my friend SOL?
Thanks for all the help. It's much appreciated.
Your recovery is outdated. Status 7 error.
I use TWRP from the original development section.

And why not give him something stock instead of a CM Rom??[emoji37]
Plenty of stock 4.3 Rom's in the development section...

Good advice ^^^^ for your friend.
Ok, thanks for the direct response. I've downloaded the latest TWRP recovery and when I try to push it through ODIN, I still have PhilZ Touch 6..? Sorry, I feel like I'm skipping something simple...
according to a guide, I have to make sure when I'm pushing a custom recovery through ODIN I have to leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time UNCHECKED. I made sure they were, and for some reason after it says PASS and thread successful 1 failed 0. When I disconnect the phone and turn it back on into recovery mode, I still has PhilZ Touch...
Use your recovery to flash TWRP. There's a zip version and an odin version.
Ok, I got stock recovery on there just by redoing the CF-Auto Root package through ODIN.
I figured well I can apply the ROM the adb through the stock recovery...
It was going well until I got this error. The last line before the error stated:
"Veryfying update package..."
Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
is that due to the fact that i'm using stock recovery?
In the mean time since that didn't work I'm going to flash TWRP and hopefully that fixes the issue.
I'm kinda just documenting my steps here in case anyone wants to follow and chime in if i'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for the help guys!
************3AM EDIT*****************
Ok so I managed to get TWRP 2.7 on the device as I needed the ability to adb sideload the update.zip to the phone since I can't boot into the phone's OS whatsoever.
This is the error I'm receiving now:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping Md5 check: no MD5 file found.
then it restarts and I'm stuck at the Samsung GALAXY Note II screen... what's my next step..? Find a different ROM?
**********Another Edit**************
It has just come to me, I shouldn't have to adb sideload the update.zip or the custom rom... even though I can't get into the phones OS and can't copy and paste to the root of the device. Can't I just copy and paste it to a micro SD card and mount that, and then apply the update from there? And as far as those errors I had earlier, I'm still not sure why I received them...
Again, thanks for all the help
Adb won't work if USB debugging wasn't enabled.
In TWRP you can disable md5 checking.
And you don't unzip the zip file.
Thanks for the reply. ADB didn't work because, in fact, since I haven't been able to turn the phone on, I know USB debugging isn't turned on.
And as far as having the MD5 check, it is unchecked.
I received a success message. However, when I try to boot the phone it still gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.
******Edit******
Ok ended up using a different ROM, I think PacMan rom? It seemed to work until it got to extracting system files and then the phone sits for a couple minutes, screen turns black. And when I try to wake the screen, only the back and menu buttons come up...
Another thing, even though I've already rooted my device using CF-Auto-Root, When I reboot my device with TWRP I go to reboot and then recovery. Then it warns me saying no OS bla bla bla, and then it says it notices that my phone isn't rooted? And that SuperSU isn't on the device. It asks to install it by swiping. I swipe it starts to install, phone reboots. When I reboot it again, it still tells me that the phone isn't rooted. And with the phone not being rooted, I'm coming to the conclusion why I'm having trouble trying to flash Roms.. Is this a possibility?
Why are you using ADB? just drop the .zip for the ROM you wish to flash onto a micro SD card, and flash from within the TWRP. Don't try to extract the .zip whatsoever.
Hey guys I'm having trouble updating my HTC desire. IM currently running 1.13 and when i click on HTC software update it'll bring up 1.50 and start downloading. Well after it's done downloading I click on install and it restarts my phone and starts installing. Well about %20 of the way on the progress bar the logo changes on the screen and shows a red phone with a triangle in the middle with an exclamation mark. Well i tried restarting the phone and I even went into recovery and tried clearing the cache. Well that didn't work so i decided to go into recovery from the installation screen and it showed an error that said something about assert failed /system/build.prop does anybody have any idea why this is happening? My phone isn't rooted or anything.
This is the full error message:
assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.aa.taskid") == "385463" || file_getprop ("/system/build.prop", "ro.aa.taskid") == "398306"
Installation aborted.
Write host_mode:0 done
might be
It may be a corrupted download I am not 100% sure what directory it downloads it to but you will need to find and delete it and try redownloading
What Phone Model (a5) do you have????
