[Q] stuck on HTC screen, Clockwork won't update from SD Card.

so i found out that VISIONary doesn't work.
i'm stuck on the HTC Screen with Clockwork Installed.
i say, hey, i can just stick the pre-OTA rom on there.
but i boot into recovery,
apply sdcard:update.zip,
aaaand,
E:signature verification failed.
installation aborted.

can you toggle signature verification off using clockwork? I mean, you should be able to.

oh yeah, i also get.
E: can't open cache/something/recovery.
and factory resets don't work.

What exactly ere you trying to do that got you stuck in this loop?

Why not load a custom rom onto your sd card, boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, choose install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, select custom rom, install custom rom, then reboot, should be good after that.

Can you get into stock recovery ? Press Volume Up and then Power when you get the screen with the red exclamation mark. If so, then you can try a factory reset from there.

It doesnt say that in Amon Ra. I had the same "problem" and wasnt sure on my first radio-flash if it was a good idea to reboot, because everyone kept telling me, that I mustn't touch the phone until its finished - but Amon RA never actually tells you that it finished a radio flash, it just stops in recovery, where you have to hit 'reboot'. (I always wait another 2 mins or so after clearing cache is done, just to be save)

ususally it will have an information that the flashing has completed than it would finish the installation when you hit the reboot now menu

reboot recovery, factory reset, cache, dalvik (sometimes my bf tells me to do battery stats, boot, and of course cache) then i install the zip from my sd, let it do its thing, then reboot. works fine everytime. Im on CWM 5.0.2.2, but i never see any of the devs say "Hey you have to be on (whatever) for this to work properly.
PS your gonna be a life saver

HAHAHAHA I meant "(whatever)" to be CWM

Whats some stuff you look for in the zip? Teach me teacher....lol

Only thing I can think of is your not using amon ra. CWM is known to not wipe correctly and can lead to problems
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

this is what someone else told me to do, (i copied and pasted it) think hes right?
"Ok. I suggest using Rom manager to switch to amon ra recovery. Once you've done that, do a complete wipe ... Including cache, dalvik, boot, data, and system. Flash Rom. Allow 5 mins after initially screens before downloading apps and making changes. This allows the Rom to settle. After you've done that, you can move on with your setup. I would suggest staying away from Rom Manager, you won't need it.
MikG is the replacement to MikFroyo. I've never heard of a MikFroyo 5.x"

Well then fml. I trust your judgement, ive seen your posts etc...now i have a stupid question, wtf is amon ra? I looked on the market. Found 4. Which one is it, and then what should i do from there? Follow this dudes instructions?

Rom manager to switch to ra is right. But I prefer to do it manually. But the letting the rom 'settle' is dumb IMHO roms shouldnt have to settle only kernels do

got ya covered, let you know what happens.!! thank you so much!!!!!

Flash amon_RA style supersonic recovery v3.08 found in Dev section thru hboot, vol- and power while phone is off, first download the one with PC36IMG.zip in the name move it to the root of your SD card delete all of the name except PC36IMG.zip make sure there no extra .zip extension now boot to hboot(bootloader) by either powering off the phone or a battery pull the hold vol- and press and hold the power button holding both until the white hboot screen opens. Follow instructions to update recovery (volume up) then don't reboot when asked (volume down) now select recovery and press power to boot into recovery. Go to wipe and wipe everything from factory reset/data wipe all the way down to dalvik-cache, repeat atleast 3 times for each option then hit the back capacitive key to return to main menu (search key/magnifying glass works as the power button does) go to flash zip, navigate to your rom zip and select it, press the search key and then press it again to start the update, when finished updating press back button, go to reboot and press the search key wait til the rom boots, should now work without issue as long as your download is ok, if you are backing up apps in titanium backup restore the app only and no data restoring data can cause bootloops/random reboots after the app restore

[Q] Trouble rooting SGH-T999

I'm absolutely confused with how to root my SGH-T999 properly. I know I'm suppose to use the search function and read everything and anything before I post a thread, but I'm seriously overwhelmed with what's what.
So far, I'm trying to follow this guide, but when I go check the md5, it says it's not a match between the file I downloaded and the md5 # on the download page. I figured that since my phone is 4.1.1, I should use this image, but again, I try to check the md5 sums, but it comes out as not a match.
So I'm super paranoid that I might mess something up and brick my phone.

I'm betting you checked the md5 after extracting it. The md5 on the download page is for the file exactly as you downloaded it.
You don't have to worry about an update 'path'. You can get the latest and flash it as per the instructions.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium

Oh thank god. Yeah, I was checking the extracted file. Thanks for clearing that up.
One more question: Let's say I want to use CyanogenMod 10. Once I've rooted my phone with this method, I could get ClockworkMod recovery (via ROM Manager from the app store) and download the CM10 mod and install the CM10 that way?

Yes. Make sure you follow all the flashing instructions from the thread. You could also install goo manager and install TWRP and find roms through there as well

Yeah, you can use TWRP or CWM to flash roms. It's preference. You don't HAVE to have CWM to flash CM10.
I never used TWRP, but I'm absolutely content with CWM. Hasn't failed me once. Don't fix what's not broken, right?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Alright ****. I think I messed something up.
I installed ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. I then went through the options of rebooting it and installing. But now it's stuck at a spinning circle with "CyanogenMod" in the center. I have no idea what to do or how to get out of it. I've tried forcing it to power down by holding down the power button or doing the three button press (volume down, home and power), but either way, it just shuts down, vibrates a little and reboots itself back to the spinning logo screen.
EDIT: Ok so I've pulled the battery and went into recovery mode. Then I "wiped data/factory reset" and I think I got it to work now. It seems to be at the CM10 home screen now

Pull the battery. Once the screen is black. Put the battery back and boot into recovery(Vol up, home, and power).
When you installed CM10, did you factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. Pulled the battery, put it back in, factory rest and wiped data. I'm not sure about the dalvik cache though. Once I got to the ClockworkMod recovery mode/screen, I just went to the "wipe data/factory reset option"

[Q] 4.3 Update, Stuck in CWM Recovery Loop

I woke up this morning to find that I had a system software update. I thought it might be the new 4.3 update that's been getting pushed out so I select to install the update. After the phone turned off to reboot, my CWM recovery screen popped up and stayed there. I recieved a message telling me that the update failed to complete and now I'm stuck in this never-ending loop. I've wiped the Delvik cache, I've done a factory reset/wipe cache and have rebooted the system multiple times. Does anyone know what I should do? Anyone else had this problem? I've heard that Nexus users are experiencing issues with the new update.

It's not 4.3

It might be CWM that's causing the update issue.
Press and hold the Power button for 20 sec. That should turn it off. If it still loops, turn it off again, try to get into recovery or download mode. If recovery, flash a stock Rom. If download, well you know.

I tried what you suggested but still not getting anywhere. I'm pretty new to rooting and recoveries, so not sure what I'm doing wrong. The only screen I get is what reads 'CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5'. I'm not positive that I have a download mode either. The options I have are as follows:
-reboot system now
-install zip from sdcard
-install zip from sideload
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
Any ideas?

If you have a backup on your SD you could restore. If you have a ROM, install it. Make sure to wipe /system, /cache, /dalvic, and /system. I'm not sure about CWM, but the wipe system might be in mounts and storage, or advanced.
If you have nothing on your SD, you'll need to sideload a stock ROM. Get the odexed or deodexed roms.
If nothing works go to the teeny bin thread, under Additional info will show you how LGNPST.

Everytime I choose RESTORE, the device seems to respond but throws me back at the initial screen. When I select "reboot system now" I never actually exit CWM-Recovery. That's the part I don't understand. Sorry if this is confusing, I know you're being helpful.

OK. If restore won't work, then try installing a stock ROM. If not on your SD then use that "install zip sideload. " Your other options are to use teenybins or zvb/zvc.bins through LGNPST.
