so today my update thing popped up in my phone.
so i went on setting and did update android
and i followed procedure
but when it booted, it had those small letters in the screen saying
installation failed.
apparently i dont know how to update first of all, does this involve connecting to computer?
and can someone help me how to update this?
it said i dont have update.zip or whatevers..
(recently i backed up my phone cuz i did factory reset. maybe something was lost in between,)
or do i do dk28 odin thing?

you probably had clockworkmod recovery which cannot install OTA updates, Odin the EB13 update and you will be fine

[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
Solution at last
Thanks to dez_bordes, we found out that I have to use r6 method and it does works.

[Q] No idea how to install the leaked OTA radio update

Hey guys first time poster here!
I've had my phone rooted for a while now running skyraider's latest rom. I just realized I needed the radio update for some of the apps to function correctly.
1. I have unrooted my phone
2. Copied the radio update to the root of my sdcard named (update.zip)
3. Booted into recovery (it is stock recovery I believe, I had to do the up vol button and power button on the black screen with red triangle)
I get the following message in yellow text:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I have also tried naming the update file just "update"
Please help! Would like my phone up and running asap! =X
Thanks!
wooow nevermind, looks like the update I copied to the sdcard wasn't the entire file, it's size was 55kb =/

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.

Getting (status 7) error when I try to flash the OTA manually

Hello all. I have HTC__J15 device and currently on 1.30.401.1 . I tried the mentioned step and I'm getting an error when i try to flash the OTA
"System partition has unexpected content E:Error in sideload/package.zip (status 7)"
Here is what I did :
I downloaded the stock image from the OP and flashed it
Flashed the stock recovery in download mode
Rebooted
followed the steps to manually apply OTA where I placed t1.30.401.1 -> 1.80.401.1 OTA on the file on my external SD
rebooted to recovery
got to the recovery menu and apply update from SD
it starts the installation then stops after a minute with the mentioned error.
I looked at the thread [GUIDE] How to take OTA if you receive corrupt system message and applied the signed firmware 1.30.401.1-1.80.401.1 but I'm still getting the same error.
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before but I looked in the forum but never found an answer. I'm coming from a Sony phone and I'm finding the HTC stuff to be a little bit confusing.
