[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.

[Q] Is there any difference in rooting the EG31 tar file?

I just flashed my phone to use the EG31 packed .tar file system, and I flashed the CWM 5 release that was also repacked with the EG31 kernel.
However, when I go to flash the included .zip for SU in that post, I get this error:
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7
--Installing: /sd/card/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

*****************************

*****************************
Mounting SYSTEM...
Deleting SYSTEM:bin/su...
E: Error in /sdcard/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I am not sure what I am doing, I have flashed the tar'ed package twice, and tried flashing the CWM recovery twice, tried installing superuser from the internal sd card, and the external sd card, both fail, only difference in the error is the file path.
I am not sure why it is failing, this is the same method I used when I originally rooted my system, and from the looks of it, nothing should have disallowed root access.
Has anyone else experienced problems? If so, how did you fix it? Could anyone recommend me a way to gain root access again?

Try rebooting your phone them flash the su zip, Also when you get installation aborted immediately try flashing it again. I get that too, but on second try it works. Maybe it'll work for you too.

Have you figured it out yet. When building my stuff, I got the same thing., status 0.... I would toggel the script asserts to enable and things flash fine.

Yeah, sorry for not going back and updating this.
I toggled the signature check, and then I was able to flash things.

Please help

Boot into ClockworkMod, and select the option "Install zip from SDCard", and under that menu you will see the option "Toggle signature verification". Completely different phone but had the same issue

[Q] Install Android upgrade after removing CyanogenMod 7 and installing hBoot 0.80

Hi everyone,
I wanted to try CyanogenMod 7 and I installed ClockworkMod. Honestly I didn't like it for several reasons, so I've brought back my phone to the original system. The thing is everything works just fine except I want to install the system upgrade, the download is done and my mobile phone reboots in the attempt to apply the new system changes and... it stops, there's this triangle with an exclamation mark in it and the android robot. I try to press some buttons and clockworkmod shows up. An error is shown and it's the following:
Code:
download/OTA_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1-1.37.405.1_P_release_160253fsslvctb45xcxfhv.zip]

Installation aborted.

I'd like to restore my system and get the latest upgrade, do I need to uninstall ClockworkMod? I've looked a bit in this forum for a solution but I didn't quite understood how to proceed. Will please anyone explain it to me?
A few infos you might need to know:
Hboot ver. 0.80
ClockworkMod Recovery ver. 3.0.0.6
Thank you for your help.
Update: I've managed to get into ClockwordMod and manually choose to install from zip file so I reach the download folder and select it, an error occurs:
Code:

1.28.401.9 OTA problem with unlock/root?

I'm unable to install the 1.28.401.9 OTA update and was wondering if anyone else has the same issue - or whether I'm missing something obvious.
My 1X is unlocked and rooted but still running stock.
On completion of the OTA download I select to install and it boots into CWM Recovery with "Installation Aborted" at the bottom and
"E: Unknown volume for path [PATH] E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARDownload..." etc.
So I select 'Install from SD card'>'choose zip...'> then go to Downloads and select the update file and get:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
So I disable signature verification, try again and get:
assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid")...
Then a string of 8 digit numbers and alphanumeric codes and finally
E: Error in /sdcard/Download...[PATH]
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Anyone have any ideas why it's not working?

same problem......

Me too

Kevin & Orel - just to be sure, can you confirm that you are rooted and running stock as well please?

Yep unlocked and rooted, but running stock. Once in CWM Recovery I see the same errors as you.

yes before I was sfr version and my htc is root & recovery & stock htc .....

Reinstall stock recovery
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

tested stock recovery, but nothing happens ....
if I try to flash the uptade I receive an error message.
Appears when I have the stock recovery, I can not access the recovery to flash, I have a black page with a phone 3 green arrow and then a red box ...

And people told me I was silly to tell people NOT TO TRY AND RUN AN OTA ON A ROOTED PHONE!!!
Seriously, guys. Historically it's been nothing but problematic trying to apply an OTA to a rooted phone. If you want it THAT bad go custom

You need stock recovery to apply OTA...
You dont flash it yourself from recovery!!!
The update program does that

i just flash .zip stock ...

+1 that
1. Download the OTA using the handset
2. Flash stock recovery (there's a download link in the CWM thread iirc)
3. Reboot
4. Go to Settings -> About -> Software Updates -> Check now
Assuming you already downloaded it, you'll be prompted to install it
5. Once the OTA update runs (it reboots twice) reboot into fastboot mode and reflash CWM
CWM can't flash the OTA and I personally didn't have to relock my device (It's not an RUU update)

Flash RUU DONT root and try again...
Once updated root again

"Help" Recovery mode error "Galaxy Note 2 N7100

Hello ..... I'm trying to install CyanogenMod ROM on My 10.1 2 N7100 Galaxy Note previously and I am root and I followed all the steps you need to do for the installation, but when I'm in recovery mode and give it to install the file from the SD few seconds later I get the following error ..
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
My menu is so different that last part where it says: "Installation aborted", does not appear.
Maybe I have not installed the Recovery Version required for this installation,because even in the menu options do not appear as I have seen in other tutorials, for example:
The option "ADVANCE" to Wipe Dalvik Cache do
if anyone has answers I would be very grateful,
Greetings and thanks in advance
Sorry for my bad English
