happy days il pm u now mate

I have a similar issue. rooted, when i try to install a custom rom it says error E: error at line 403
aborted
then i reboot and it keeps rebooting at the htc screen.
go back into the recovery and clear cache and factory reset then try to install .zip from sd, select the rom and same thing all over again. changed roms and still the same. the only thing that works it the backup image i made with clockwork before i started. that reloads fine. just wont let me install a rom from root.

at your recovery screen do you use your trackball (optical D pad) or do you have to use vol up and down buttons? if you can't use your trackball you'll have to update your recover manually, pm so I'll give you a link, if you can use your trackball then sorry but I do not know what the reason is

i use my vol and power button mate

I had the same error when trying to load the update.zip off the SD. I have a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748105 which details what I did. Appear to have been the wrong original rom I flashed. After I flashed the right one the update went on fine. Hope this helps.

[Q] Can't boot or flash anything on HTC Desire

Hi guys...
Well, I'm a total noob when it comes to Android in general, but I know a thing or two about rooting... The thing is... I managed to flash Oxygen ROM and it was all good... But then I tried to flash a stock HTC ROM and now I can't boot (red triangle) or even get into the recovery! All I can access is fastboot, HBoot and Android recovery. Whenever I try to flash files it sais "Signature failed" or something like that, and even when I tried to do it with the HBoot menu using a stock HTC ROM it kinda went like this: everythin OK except Radio_V2 (Bypassed) and HBoot (Error) so yeah... My Desire is now unusable and I have to use my crappy Xperia X10 Mini... HELP!
SOLVED: Thanks for the help!

Have you tried putting the update.zip (recovery) back on the sd card?
And what rom did you use?
If that does not work use a RUU, there are plenty of threads in Q&A on how to do that.

Tried the update.zip you provided, got the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Before my problems I used the latest stable Oxygen ROM, after it was the newest (European) Stock ROM for HTC Desire I could find.
And yeah... How do I use an RUU when I can't even boot the phone? I mean, it's an exe, is it not? Can u help me out a little more? sorry for my newbieness n_n
(GAH, I miss my Desire already T^T)

First disable signature verification in recovery, option can be found under 'install zip from sd' and try again.

The only option I have to "install from zip" is "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the Android System Recovery (2e) menu, since yeah... Amon RA was removed when I tried to flash the stock rom... I've screwed up quite bad, haven't I?

Well yes you screwed up but it should not be to much trouble fixing it. Next time you flash a rom make sure it's designed to be flashed on a rooted desire.
But this guide should help to get the phone unrooted and working again, then you should be able to root again.

Tried to use that method now, got the following:
Reads the zip file and asks to update using it, I press Vol+ (yes) and the process of updating starts... After a while it vibrates and I see the following:
BOOT OK
BOOTLOADER Bypassed
RADIO_V2 Fail-PU
RADIO_CUST OK
RECOVERY OK
SPLASH1 OK
SYSTEM OK
USERDATA OK
Partition update fail!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> No
I press VOL UP...
Aaaand I'm met with an infinate HTC boot screen... nothing happens.
When I try to enter recovery...And it's the same deal, met with the HTC boot logo... nothing ever happens... What can I do?! : /

Okaaay, this is embrassing... Just had to run an offical RUU with the phone in Fastboot... God I'm so stupid... Thanks anyways, guys!

Hehe, grattis Erik!

lol good to hear u solved it out

*Official* Clockwork Recovery

1. Odin this fie, using PDA section:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar
2. Download this file and put it on the root of your sdcard:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip
3. Boot to recovery, either from manual three button method (down, up vol +power) or using something like quick boot on the market.
4. Apply update.zip.
5. Profit!

jt1134 (his update.zip, very awesome)
use at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything you do to your device!

OK I'm in trouble now, I odin the first file and copy the update.zip to the sc card. After I do a manual boot to the boot loader the camera button does not activate anything I can not start the update.zip or reboot. If I pull the battery and reboot it just boot back to the boot loader again. Please advice I need my phone back soon.
Thanks
Update:
if I odin the "cont_cwm_recovery_2.tar.md5" file from the other post the camera button will activate the update.zip but got some error but reboot just fine. I think the odin file made in this post is for device that has the home button on the phone and no camera button map. Still no CWM but at least the phone boots normally now.

Sorry, yes, the key mappings are a bit wonky.

OK, I odin back the test 4 file and apply the update.zip install the rom manager form the market place and flash CWM 2.5.0.4 but how can boot to CWM?

Thank you, I'll give it a try when I get home. What is the difference between official version of ClockworkMod Recovery for Samsung Continuum rather than a custom port made by adrynalyne? From what I can gather from the read is that the official will boot directly to CWM everytime rather than having to apply the update.zip to boot it CWM? In any case I'm much more comfortable flashing ROMs and kernel now that I can do backup in CWM.
Thanks again

Ok... I got this to install and I am able to apply the update and get into clockwork recovery. How do I get it only load CWR each time now instead of the factory recovery?
I keep having to use the default recovery to get into CWR...
I love the fact i am finally able to make a solid backup of this damn phone though!

The only way to get that to happen, is to apply a voodoo kernal.
Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.

I have the voodoo kernel installed.. didn't seem to work...
**edit.. perhaps I need to allow the lag-fix to change the partition data first.. i'll try that and report back.

When you reboot to recovery, how are you doing it? ROM Manager can not properly boot into CWM on voodoo kernels

I tried to boot it using both volume keys. Now it's stuck in a bootloop saying something like "miscooperation"

oops, i hit the thanks button >.< oh well...
Anyway, did you do a battery pull after you activated voodoo? You had to let it convert your whole system! I don't know what else could be wrong.

Yeah.. I let it convert.. it booted up fine when done. I then shut it off and tried to reboot and go into the CWR menu. It then boot looped. I was able to manually get to CWR through the stock menu and am in the process of restoring right now....

oh... Well, that's good at least.

Ok.. got it to flash the voodoo kernel again and now all I get is the Cwm recovery menu. Not sure what i can do to get this thing to load an OS again.

Signature verification fail on update.zip
Edit:
Downloaded update.zip from addictive tips. Booted into the red colored clockwork once. Flashed DL17 Root Deodex etc. Can't boot into that recovery again. Been trying and trying.

AWFUL
So I did everything as instructed and used odin to flash recovery. now I'm trying to get CWM on my device going into boot mood. Error message says signature failed and that "update.zip gone" HELP!!!

I would copy the update.zip again on the root of your sdcard and try the manual recovery procedure.

Help flashing - having huge problems

I'm really not a noob to flashing ROMs, in fact, I got pretty good at it with my Evo before I upgraded to the Galaxy 2.
So I got the phone rooted using Odin, now I need to install Clockworkmod recovery so I can flash some custom ROM's. Everytime I install clockworkmod using Odin, when my phone reboots, I can't get service, and the buttons on the bottom aren't working. The search button now turns into the menu key.
So how can I get this working right? Do I need clockworkmod to be able to install custom ROM's? Is there another way to install clockworkmod aside from using Odin? Because Odin just isn't working.
Any help is appreciated.

Why dont you get it off the market?

I'm using ROM Manager now.
Now I keep getting:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"

my phone is the same way, using the app, or booting into CWM it wont let me back up. I just flash the rom anyway... whatever. Not the best method, but ive installed plenty of roms and never had a problem. It would be nice to find out why though.

yeah, the problem is it isn't flashing. It just gives me that error which eventually forces me to reboot.

rom manager doesnt support this phone yet u have to odin eb30 with clockworkmod 4.0 which supports back up and restore .

[Q] bricked

if my epic wont boot up normally and stays on the black screen and the samsung logo and doesnt boot into recovery mode, does that mean its bricked?

You need to odin back to stock ec05. Its pretty simple. There is a post here on the forums that has step by step instructions. MAKE SURE you don't use your stock usb cable that came with your phone when you odin it back to stock, it will really screw up your phone.
Sent using my overclocked 1.44 GHz Samsung Epic running legendary ROM beta : samurai v1.0.4

No if its hard bricked it wont do anythingbthe fact that u have it doing anything im thinking u tried to root or flash a rom imporperly and soft bricked it. You need to go to this thread it has step by step instructions of how u use odin to restore firmware to your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813

i just saw one where i odin this file in pda section
SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar

Is that what your talking about

yeah i flashed the:

Not necessarily. Try to get into download mode (hold the 1 key on the keyboard and power button). If you cannot get into that, then try searching both QA and General forums for the word "Brick" and scan through some threads.
There are many methods of trying to rescue a possible brick.
Off top my head:
Pull out the battery and SD card. Leave battery out for 20mins. Put battery back in and try download mode again.
Remove battery again and leave out. Connect the charging cable with no battery in the phone and try download mode again.

Yes odin the stock firmware click the link i posted and follow the instructions exactly take your time read every step before doing it and you will be fine the first boot may take alot longer so dont be worried give it time if you have issues with odin not recognising your phone try all your usb ports then try a different cable if no dice. Delete the samsung driver restart your pc install the driver again then restart pc again and try . I had alot of issues with the usb cable that came with my epic but the best one i have found is a gold tipd micro usb cabke radio shack sells only like 30 dollars and works every time. If u have more problems and cant grt it to work pm me ill help u. Otherwise good luck

Here is a link with the stock recovery file in the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904&highlight=stock+recovery

ok i got it up and running again. it has the green clockwork do i need to remove that and install stock recovery

You dont need to . U can leave clock work installed it will not harm your phone. And as long as your on a stock rom you can still accept ota updates

i just downloaded the update and i restart and install and it is just staying on the black screen with the samsung logo and website. this happened before.

Ok mabye there is a problem with the ota do the odin thing again

Odin the stock EC05 tar, here is one place you can get it:

Then you can 3 finger into the stock recovery, then you can install the update.zip. You are just trying to get the OTA to install at this point right?

OK cool, then do what I said above and you should be able to install the update.zip. You only have to check the reboot box in the top screen of Odin and if you are stuck all the Odin instructions are in the thread I pointed you to.

ok so i odin that rar file and im on 2.1

do i need to save the EI22 update file to sdcard and do the update from system recovery because it didnt work
