So a while back I rooted my phone with the one click thing. Yesterday the sd card I ordered off ebay finally came and I decided to do a backup using rom manager premium. I flashed the clockworkmod recovery then I hit backup current rom. It reboot into recovery. Than I got an error saying "e: failed to verify whole-file signature." Can someone tell me what I did wrong please. All help is greatly appreciated.

Rom Manager is broken for the EPIC. So do the following:
Power off...wait until screen is off and capacitive button lights are out.
Hold down the camera button, Volume down button, and then HOLD down the Power key. (Called the Samsung 3 finger salute)
Hold all three keys down until CWM pops up and you can then easily make a backup.
Use the volume up and down keys to change file items.
Use the camera button to make selections.

Today I used ROM manager to Create a Backup and it worked Fine. (ROM Manager Premium 3.0.1.3) on my Epic 4G. I used the Epic 4G listed in dropbox for CWMRecovery. and I have version 3.0.0.6 which I used to Root.
is Backing up the only thing ROM Manager isn't suppose to work with? do the rest of the features work in Epic?
Well you can't flash cwm with rom manager if you don't already have it. I've used it foe backups before myself when.I was using cwm 2.5.1.2. Haven't tried it on 3.0.0.6 yet

So, I was using CM7 RC4, getting terrible battery life, and wanted to change roms. Problem was, when I started up into Clockwork Recovery, I could not select anything from the menu. I could scroll, but the power button only dimmed the screen, and the trackpad didn't do anything.
So I did a complete wipe, unrooted back to 2.2, etc. Now, I used unrevoked to Re-Root the phone, successfully. I start up into CW Recovery again, and same issue.
So now, I'm stuck with using the "Stock" incredible rom, although I am rooted, and have an nonfunctional clockwork recovery.
I want to be able to install roms. Any ideas?
The trackpad doesn't actually select the item when you click it? Does it work outside of recovery? That would be odd if it just stopped working..
Yeah, does it work outside of recovery? If not it may be a hardware problem. If it does work, you could give AmonRA a try.

The trackpad works to move through the menu, but can't select anything. As for the track"ball" (the center button) working, I've never used it for anything other than rooting my phone for the first time, and it worked then. I don't have any applications that can test out to see if it can "click", so I'm not sure

actually I've tried using the trackpad button in every way i can think of, even booting with the trackpad button held down, and got nothing. Maybe the button itself is done for.
I have no idea if this is hardware based or what...any thoughts?
Just try to select something outside of recovery with the trackpad, if it still doesn't work then it sounds like its a hardware issue.

Doesn't the camera app with the DInc require you to use the trackpad to "click" to take a picture? I think that's the only time I use my trackpad outside of recovery
I'm in a similar boat. My trackpad has stopped working and I'm stuck without being able to move forward in the menus of Clockworkmod.

Not exactly. If you're using an Evo/AOSP camera, you'll be able to take pictures using the on-screen button.

I've managed to compile a custom version of Clockworkmod v4.0.1.4 which uses the power button as the select button. Here's the zip.
I am new to the E4GT, just got it. I just rooted using sfhub's method and everything worked fine. Installed lastest CWM.
Now when I went to try and flash a rom I have the hardest time pressing home and getting it to register as enter. I can tap it a million times and it won't do anything. After about 30 min I was finally able to flash caulkin's but I'm afraid to ever go back into the recovery because of this.
Is this normal? is there a fix?
edit: actually, now that I booted up, my home button is still very wonky. hit or miss. Only began doing this when I rooted. should I take it in?

Hey, I am in no way an expert on this, but in CWM I never use the soft keys on the bottom of the phone. I use the volume rockers to navigate up and down and use the power button as "Enter." Hope that helps, if not, I'm sure someone who's more knowledgeable will help you out.

That is odd. Only time the power button goes back (for me at least) is when it's physically on the "BACK" option. Sorry dude, maybe someone else can help you out with this...
I found a video that shows how to enable the power button as an enter button. Got it figured out.

as per topic, wondering if i can flash a rom if my volume button is spoilt?
my htc suddenly behaved weirdly and screen sporadically seems to keep pressing the back button (or at least it keeps backing when i am in some app) , then freeze. i have to press power button to off, wait a while and on it and it's back to normal, and after some time, reverts to freezing. not sure if it's because i force close apps too much tho. so i thought maybe i could try flashing a new rom. but my volume button isn't working so is it still possible to flash?

If you are s-on you would need to first fix your volume botton(s) before trying to root your device. If you don't it would just jam you up. There are several threads on ways to fix your volume buttons.
If you are already rooted and have flashed roms before (which is not stated, thus unlickly), you could flash a touch recovery. However, I am unsure if the volume buttons could be used or are used in the touch version (which I believe it is) and since they are stuck, the button, it could act up on you.

1. Repair your volume button (jam it in there or glue it in)
2. Root using AAHK (I'll post instructions later, out at the moment)
3. Flash 4EXT Touch Recovery
4. Profit??

hmm, i could press the up volume long time ago if i press it hard enough, but it's all unresponsive now. gone as far as unscrewing the 2 screws at the batt area and unsure how to proceed with that volume knocker at the side below the batt compartment. so i stopped at that that time.
It's just that this sudden sporadic backing /screen freeze seems more of a bother so i thought perhaps i should try flashing, or should i try a factory reset?
yes i rooted before and is now at arhd 5+ but hadn't used touch recovery before- you mean ext4 app?

yup, tried prising then so the lower part seems abit jutting out; the most it can do is slide a little up and down lol. there wasn't much info on this vol thingy and i saw one vid on disassembling the htc which kinda skims through this part and made it looked so easy (but i had no freaking idea what he did after unscrewing the screws) so i sorta left it as that and used a volume app instead
so I'm rooted and able to use the 4ext? the only 4ext i found in google play was the one i needed to pay but there was a link to the site where i could grab the free one though. supposedly if i didn't fix the volume button, am i able to use this to flash?

Yeah just grab the free one and flash the 4EXT Recovery. Trust me you'll like it much better. Easier to use, more fluid and doesn't require the volume rocker for use

Do you have ADB? You don't really need the Volume button if you're already rooted and s-off to flash ROMs.
Flash a recovery like 4EXT or even CWM Touch. 4EXT is better though. You can flash 4EXT through the app in the play store and for CWM Touch you can get it here.
If you do decide to go for CWM Touch, you'll have to flash it via fastboot. Read the forums on how to do that or let me know I'll post it later if you can't find anything.
After you flash a recovery and get ADB and HTC Sync on your system. Just use the command "adb reboot recovery" to reboot the device straight to recovery without having to press the volume button.
I've been surviving without the volume down button for a long time now. And I regularly flash stuff so I can say it's not that big a deal. It is kinda living on the edge.. But ADB always helps me out.
tks i should try the ext recovery later.
phone's acting up and the top menu icon keeps interchanging between the icons and date by itself more intermittently.
for the wipe, i just check all of the options? and it'll bring me back to the recovery menu when done?

In 4ext there's an option to wipe all partitions except SD Card. Literally two touch flashing. So simple, I done it today in an computer lesson at school

don't you have the option to reboot into recovery by long pressing power button? Beats adb fastboot recovery. My vol down rocker is broken and this for me its the best option.

Ohh,thanks
Hm nope,my power button doesn't show the boot into recovery option .
My screen was acting up so bad that
I wasn't able to do anything for a while and I thought it was a hardware issue so I went to do a factory reset instead to see if it'll be alright. But it still freezes the screen sometimes, more obvious when typing and it either jumps about /freezes. I guess it's the display issue or digitizer issue then ?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Happens to me to. Maybe rom related? I just jump to lockscreen by hitting the power button and unlocking gets me out of the freezing or acting up. Try this. Open a command window on your PC. Get to adb devices and prepare an adb reboot recovery command. Don't press enter yet. Remove the battery and reinsert it. Start the phone and quickly connect your phone to PC. You'll hear the connection sound, as you hear this , start executing the command window . The phone will boot into recovery. There you could flash ice cold sandwich which hast the boot into recovery option .
Edit: You could also download this to enter recovery.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
Also suggest you flash 4ext recovery.

I could actually still move around after my factory reset. So can probably reinstall the 4ext to flash but doesn't seem to be Rom related since I had this arhd for more than half a year and this freezing suddenly occured a few days back

You can do it very simply
On device:
1- Download ROM Manager (ClockWorkMod) OR 4EXT Recovery
2- Download and Flash Recovery for your device.
3- from the application select reboot on recovery
if you already have recovery, simply download ROM Toolbox Lite and browse down to Rerbooter, then root into recovery.
On PC, with USB Development active
1- if you already have download Android SDK
RUN -> cmd -> adb reboot recovery

Click to collapse
or Install Android Commander then Device -> Reboot -> Reboot in Recovery

It's very simple :fingers-crossed:
FIXED!
I haven't been doing anything with my HTCZ phone(s) root wise for a long time. Everything has been working OK. I booted into recovery mode today and found out that CWM doesn't seem to work. I get the menu starting with "-reboot ...." with bluish text and I can traverse the various menu entries but when I choose an menu entry (POWER) all I get is the CWM hat logo but nothing happens. When I press POWER again I come back to the initial menu.
Whats up with that? Rom Manager doesn't report any problems. I have tried reflashing CWM but it does not help.
I get no errormessages in CWM.
What am I missing? Any help much appreciated.
Try using the track pad rather than the power button
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
When I upgraded to the CWM Touch Recovery it works. BUT when I turn off the telephone and then insert the charger the phone is booted into CWM Touch Recovery. That is annoying. I remember I tried touch recovery long time ago and when back to the old one because of this. Anyways I'll settle for this for now.
When I had my DZ I found that the power button never worked properly in CWM. Always used the trackpad, both for moving up/down and for clicking.
Kinda wish I could still have a trackpad in newer phones But with CWM and TWRP having touch support it's not so bad.
Beware that if you are thinking of downloading this app to change the look of your recovery, if you are running TWRP, you will have issues. This was designed for phone mode viewing and since TWRP loads and runs in landscape or tablet mode, on our Galaxy Note 8.0 you are going to be missing some key buttons. The reboot button for one. And if you try to install another recovery, thinking this will save your butt, think again. The start or install button that starts the install is also cut off. The only visible button after picking the file is the add another zip button so you are essentially stuck in recovery.
I tried using the volume up and down buttons to get around but that option is not avaliable for some reason.
The way to get out of it is to have a recovery that you can install via Odin. This was the only way to get out of recovery. While stuck in recovery, power down then hold home, volume down and the power button all at the same time to get into download mode. Open Odin, plug in your tablet and hit PDA. Find your tar recovery file and hit open to add the file to Odin. Then hit start. It should only take a couple seconds to complete.
I just wanted to post this as I tried the app and am running a GT-N5110.
I hope this helps to inform someone before they install the app and screw up their tablet.
