[Q] Can't Install Google Apps

I used the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025336#12712582 to root my slide from its stock 2.2.1 firmware, then installed CyanogenMod7 (which is sweet by the way!). Unfortunately, I can't get the Google Apps to install. I have tried:
1) Downloading the universal and also the mdpi zips and sticking them on the sd card root and flashing them from recovery.
2) Downloading the universal and also the mdpi room from the ROM Manager application.
In both cases I get:
Code:
...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any ideas? Both methods should have worked for me, but neither did. I have made sure the zip hashes match with the ones posted.

Having exactly the same problem. First time I tried it went into bootloop after installing gapps... later I tried to reinstall them again...shows the same error in the recovery...

Out of curiousity, does your HBOOT show that you have S-ON or S-OFF? I have a theory that S-ON is the cause of our troubles.

I would do that, but unfortunately the stock 2.2.1 firmware from HTC seems to have installed a version of HBOOT that permanently enforces S-ON. I have tried both the AlphaRev and Unrevoked utilities- neither worked to get rid of this. If you have other ideas, let me know.

Very strange. Just installed Cyanogenmod and Google Apps with no problems (after rooting/downgrading the new OTA).
Followed the tutorial and installed both update-whatever-slide.zip and gapps-whatever.zip from ClockworkMod Recovery. Have S-ON in HBOOT.

Are You using a Gold Card? Are you rooted?

To make a Gold Card;
http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
The gold card, allows you to install unsigned ROMs in the beginning, a must for Desire owners. After that;
Then root your phone;
Then flash a custom ROM.

Seriously, were past the stage of 50 billion processes.

I think, remove goldcard, insert blank sd, download latest oxygen to root of this sd, wipe everything in cwm, flash rom.
Hope that works, its the process I followed!

Flashed ROM on a non-goldcard sd and i still have the same problem.

Already tried on Oxygen, Leedroid, SupeRomHD and RCMixS. With or without goldcard. Hboot 0.93 on Stock 2.2 ROM with S-ON.
Please help

You're desire isn't PVT4 by any chance is it?
If so I know there are problems using clockwork, and I wonder if that's contributing?

Sir,
It is a PVT4. I was able to solve it by doing S-OFF
After which all my previous problems were solved - nandroid backup, modify my phone partitions and flash custom ROM.

Nevertheless it's really recommend to use amonra recovey instead of clockworkmod if you have a pvt4 desire (to avoid strange issues):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img

Another Status 7 error here.
I have a Desire with Oxygen 2.1.4 and when trying to update to 2.1.5, I got this error.
Reading through your posts and watching videos on YouTube, tried 2 methods of flashing Amon Ra over ClockworkMod to fix the Status 7 error:
1. With ClockworkMod Rom manager app, which grayed out the alternate recovery field in the app and did not allow, and
2. With the android emulator app which did not found the flash_image command
Is there an another SAFE way to flash Amon Ra Recovery 2.0.0 over ClockworkMod recovery?
Awaiting your much appreciated answer.

Unrevoked 3.21 and select custom recover img

Nothing. Flashed the Amon Ra recovery, cleared all cache, still nothing.
Back to ClockworkMod again.
Status 7 error on me like a nightmare
Have other suggestions?

Try this command...
fastboot oem eraseconfig

[Q] Probleme to flash a custom rom

Hi i have a probleme since 2 days i'm trying to install a new rom on my htc desire android 2.2. i rooted it with unrevoked and i use the clockwork recovery so i copied this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435 on my sd i wiped Cache/dalvik and i did a factory reset then i selected install file from sd and i selected the rom in .zip and when it's launched i have an error : " installation aborted (status 7 ) i tried different rom but i have always this error message i really don't know what to do maybe it doesn't work because i didn't wipe the ext partition? thanks for your help bye

Try disabling signature verification...also have you upgraded your radio to the one recommended by the dev
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sounds for me you have a pvt4 desire. You can check your desire's hardwarerevision on this way:
1.) Download connectbot from android market
2.) Start it, set "local" and write any name
3.) Type
Code:
cat /pro/mtd
Now look at the column "erasesize". If there stands a 40000, your desire has a newer hardwarerevision. With this the usually flashed recovery by unrevoked (clockworkmod recovery) does not work.
You have to flash a different recovery, amonra 2.0.1.
Download the img here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img
Then, start unrevoked, file>custom recovery>choose downloaded recovery. Now run unrevoked again. Now you should be able to flash things like custom rom from recovery.

even when i try to upgrade the radio it doesn't work :\ i'm going to try to install another recovery

unrevoked gave me an error : failed to get root.IS your firmware too new

Try older revision of unrevoked (i recommend 3.21):

Happy i could help. But you can make me even happier, if you press the thanks button.
If you install this rom, it will consume a little more battery. But this is only because of sense 2.1+3.0, so i think that's okay.

[Q] New Clockwork Recovery 5.0.0.0

Hi... I just found that Clockwork Recovery has new version from their website but in zip format. Try to install it through ROM Manager and recovery mode but it is just temporary recovery. Every time I enter recovery mode by pressing power and vol down and choose recovery it is back to old recovery.
Does anyone try this new recovery and how to make it permanent or is it available in img format so I can flash it using Android Flasher.
for your reference please find it here :
hxxp://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.0.0-bravo.zip (please change hxxp into http)
*** sorry for my horrible English and grammar

it is cause you use the fake-flash method, launching CWM 5.0.0 by flashing a .zip file from your current recovery.
in order to permanently change your recovery you would have to be S-OFF and have a .img file of the new recovery

My HTC Desire already S-OFF but where to find this img file of new CWM Recovery?
I have search over Google and this forum but did not found. Is it possible to change this zip file into img file?

Yes but not all file available.
like HTC Bravo only latest recovery in zip format only.
Thanks

Yeah, but as this thread is for v5.0.0.0 then people will want the newest will they not?

someone already did some test?
for example backup the current rom (maybe one with ext partition), then flash an other rom (just for test), and then restore the backup (and see if boots and everything ok)?
i will try later anyway, but of course will be nice to already know if its work or have some problems

Has any one had the edify script error with CWM 5.0.0.0 recovery ?
I flashed CWM 5.0.0.0 today via fastboot and it works fine - however I tried flashing Cool 3D V9 Rom and then when i flashed the boot loop fix & got the edify scripting error does any one know of a work around ??? I did a search and i found some code by coolexe and baadnews but not sure if there is a way to fix this ?

ask the dev to update the script in the flashable zip or flash a 2.x recovery (amend script is no more supported from 3.x and up, only edify is supported)

anyone have a changelog? cant find one anywhere!

follow koush or clockworkmod on twitter..5.x has faster backups (now it used .tar files) and preserve the file system of each partition (if ur sd-ext is ext3, it will be backup and restore as ext3, if u have ext4 it will be ext4, etc..with previous cwm recoveries the sdext was restored always as ext3)
also a new color sheme..now is blue light
edit: new recovery seems available 5.0.1.0 http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-bravo.img

I read from a koush twit :
"Desire and Desire CDMA users: I have just switched you to real flashing rather than fakeflash. You will need to S-OFF. with unrevoked."
so, out of curiosity, how Rom Manager can flash the recovery for real?
I always use fastboot, and i though there was no other way than that and the PB99IMG.zip method..
Someone know how that works (i mean the flashing through an app)?

i'm fine with 4.xxxx

Well there have always been another way just not on desire, since s-on users couldn't write to system or recovery while system was booted. But with s-off using a flash_image script will work just fine, which is pretty much what rom manager does(i assume).
So I asked koush on twitter to change us to native recovery flashing since s-off have been around for quite some time for desire
edit: so for everyone s-off that means: to update just install/open rommanager and press "flash clockworkmod recovery"(tested and working just fine)

Thanks to ur tips, i found how it works!
from the terminat emulator on the phone:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
that should flash the recovery (even other partition i though), without use fastboot and without use the pc! thats nice!
On AOSP roms the flash_image utility is already included on /system/bin..in other roms (like stock ones) it should be downloaded and placed on the phone and used in the same way
that probably what rom manager does

So there is no way to get the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery if we are on S-ON ?

HTC One X Semi Bricked NEED HELP.

Hello,
Well, I was trying to install some new kernels but somehow my phone went into Boot Loop.
After that, I accidentally formatted my system and system memory. End Result: Their is nothing in my SD Card Right now.
I have searched in this forum and others for 2 days and still can not find a proper solution. Now, my laptop and computer does not recognize my device through adb device. I tried to insall stock rom through RUU but it gave an Boot Loader Version Error. However, I managed to install philz recovery and tried to mount memory but still no luck, I can not push files through adb as it can not recognize my device.
My CID is 02_001. I downloaded the matched CID RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed) but it didnt work. My image number of the phone (I dont know what is this actually) is like 4.xxxx and the image number of the RUU is 1.xxxx.
The HBOOT version is 1.72 S ON.
Can someone by someway, please give me the link of UPDATED RUU so that I can flash to stock rom or just help me to find a way to transfer custom rom to my phone memory so that I can flash a custom rom.
I was using VIPERX ROM 4.1.1,as the phone was draining alot of battery so over efficiently I tried to FLASH BRICKED KERNEL.
NOW I AM STUCK, HELPLESS and after losing the battle I am posting this thread.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH A SUITABLE ANSWER.
I would prefer to install stock rom but it wont work I guess because of the updated HBOOT version.
