Hello everybody,
I'm new to xda forum and to android world in general.
It all started when I wanted to intall a custom ROM (InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+).First, I started with a back-up using ROM manager, then I went on recovery mode, I wiped all data, and I installed the ROM and the Radio. When the installation was finished, I rebooted, but it got stuck on the HTC logo. I waited for about 15 mins before I removed the battery. Afterwards, I went to the "Android system recovery 2e", I found the following choices in blue:
Reboot System Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
and in yellow way below: E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
When I select Apply sdcard:update.zip, I get:
E: Failed to open sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I know that I should get a "choose zip from sdcard" choice in order to restore everything. How can I get to my sdcard and run the retore?
Will my desire ever work again? please help!
Did you make a nandroidbackup before flashing?
Normally you start recobery on thid way:
1.) Power down phone
2.) Press vol- + power-button until the white screen with the three green 'androids' appears
3.) Navigate with volume-buttons to the point "recovery" and enter by pressing power-button
4.) After a while you should be in recovery
In this recovery you should disable the signature verify (in amonra it is "other>toggle signature verify")
and then try to flash again.
Are just try nandroidbackup with toggled signature verify.

I don't think I did a nandroidbackup. When I go to the "recovery" I only have the following options:
Reboot System Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
You don't have a custom recovery installed that's the android recovery

Basically I was running stock 2.2 on my phone and did the usual steps to root it, unrevoked 3 ran all fine clockworkmod recovery flashed fine, booted up first time round fine. But then I flashed the most recent version of super user and now every time I try to boot it just gets to the HTC logo turns itself off and starts again.
I have tried backing up and restoring, wiping data, sd, cache, dalvik and nothign has helped so far. And I can run the RUU for my phone because it wont run unless I am booted into android, please help me ><
SERIOUSLY? You didn't even LOOK.. not going to mention about searching.. There are SO many threads that could have helped you.. but the most obvious one to me would be the big TROUBLESHOOTING one that is right on the top of everything.
Right, sorry I did quickly look but I panicked a little bit. I shall make sure I look more effectively in the future ^^
I would use ADB to flash the old super user apk, or to flash a new rom.

BOOT PROBLEMS
"I just flashed a new ROM, and I get a bootloop.. Help!"*
"I just flashed a new ROM, and it just stays on the HTC screen"
"My phone randomly rebooted itself and now it won't boot"
*This is a fairly common problem, and is solved very easily.
Possible causes of bootloops/ phone stuck on HTC Screen:
- You are S-OFF, and you have not got the correct partition table that is required for the ROM.
- Some ROM's require an SD-EXT partition, you either have not got this or have not done it correctly.
- For whatever reason, the ROM did not install properly.
[1]To fix a bootloop/ stuck on HTC Screen:
[STEP1]- do a battery pull to power off the device (as this is the only way to do so when stuck in a bootloop)
[STEP2]- hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button to boot into the bootloader
[STEP3]- use the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons to navigate, and POWER to select. Navigate to RECOVERY.
[STEP4]- select "mounts & storage" and then select the following options
[STEP5]- format boot
[STEP6]- format system
[STEP7]- format data
[STEP8]- format cache
[STEP9]- format sd-ext (IF YOU HAVE IT)
[IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP]
[STEP10a]- go back to the main menu, select "back up & restore", select "restore" and restore the latest working backup.
[IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP]
[STEP10b]- go back to the main menu, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard", and flash a ROM which you KNOW works. If you have none, try my failsafe: CyanogenMod
- reboot system now
#PHONE STILL DOESN'T BOOT#
[IF YOU USED YOUR BACKUP, OR A ROM THAT IS NOT CYANOGENMOD]
- Repeat the process, and flash cyanogenmod instead of restoring a backup or a different ROM.
[IF YOU ARE USING A RECOVERY THAT IS NOT CLOCKWORKMOD 2.5.0.7]
- Download Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7.zip and place it in your sdcard.
- boot into recovery, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and choose "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip"
- repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards

PLEAASSSE HELP ME!!!
Hi this sounds like it is booting up normally to me,please be patient with allowing it to finalize. Please allow at LEAST 10 minutes then see. If no luck then try a clean install again by wiping system and caches from within clockworkmod recovery. Please be careful not to wipe your sdcard.

Thanks, i try it again, but the first time, i set it up for more then 15minutes, and i didn't anything
Is there notting that i maybe forget to download or something?
i let him boot up for more than 45 minutes, but it didn't anything!?
Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery (Turn off phone, Press Vol Down + Power simultaneously, then navigate to Recovery using the Volume keys and Press Power button). When Clockworkmod Recovery starts, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". Confirm it. Then, go to "Mounts and Storage", select "Format /system", and confirm it as well.
Once these 2 steps are complete, flash the ROM again.

If you're scared of that, format everything APART FROM DATA, and you will have all your apps etc.. but it may not help you in which case you'll have to format that anyhow

that's what i was affraid off.
Okay so I have in my posession a Iconia A100 and it gets stuck at the white Acer logo. If I hold Vol Up & Power itll say:
Erasing Cache before SD Update...
SD update cmd: recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:uodate.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
It'll just hang there forever. I've tried putting a copy of stock ROM on the Sdcard and renaming it update.zip and it'll just hang there also.
Ive tried the reset button and nothing.
I really dont know what else to try, I'm new with messing with a A100.
The tab was fine, and was powered down normally and now it wont start.

Make sure you rename it to "update" (zip is the extension, not a part of the name). Also, make sure the file is placed in the root of your external SD card. If this still doesn't work, you could try resetting the tab via the pinhole.
Have you tried a factory reset? Note you will loose all your data on the internal.
With the tablet off, press the volume up (rocker farthest from the corner) and the power button until it vibrates, then release the power button and switch the screen lock back and forth until 'erasing user data' comes up (make sure the volume rocker gets held throughout the process).
Theonew, i tried that before and nothing.
Romman0, I just tried what you said and once Erasing user data pops up, it says something underneath it, and it goes off, vibrates and goes right back to the white Acer logo. It does all of this in less than 5 seconds...
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys
Im still stuck /:
Edit: it says erasing cache under erasing user data and then reboots quickly

It failed because it cannot see your SD Card. Check that it is freshly formatted (FAT32) and is inserted completely. Also make sure that your device is charged, it might turn the card slot off to save power.
OK, so I installed the toolkit on my laptop, and so far have managed to unlock and root my phone.
Here is the problem.
When I boot to recovery, My phone comes up green, then the red triangle. Volume up and power gives me the Android system recovery (3) and a message on the bottom
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command. all I can do is reboot the phone.
Ideally what I want is to be able to backup the phone, install a new kernel/rom and be able to restore it if I mess up.
Tried to search for help on the forum, but it didnt do me any good. Is there a newbie guide how to do this?
Thanks in advance

you have to flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP
I have downloaded the CW ROM manager and installed rom manager v5.5.3.2 current recovery 5.x.x.x latest recovery 5.8.4.5. I boot into clockwork recovery mode. get the green circle with the arrow followed by the phone with the red triangle. Press volume up + power and get menu for android system recovery. With the menu
reboot
apply update from external
wipe data
Wipe cache
apply update from cache
bottom has a message E: cant open /cache/recovery/command
So i dont think I have accomplished anything except downloaded a useless app
