[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] No idea how to install the leaked OTA radio update

Hey guys first time poster here!
I've had my phone rooted for a while now running skyraider's latest rom. I just realized I needed the radio update for some of the apps to function correctly.
1. I have unrooted my phone
2. Copied the radio update to the root of my sdcard named (update.zip)
3. Booted into recovery (it is stock recovery I believe, I had to do the up vol button and power button on the black screen with red triangle)
I get the following message in yellow text:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I have also tried naming the update file just "update"
Please help! Would like my phone up and running asap! =X
Thanks!

wooow nevermind, looks like the update I copied to the sdcard wasn't the entire file, it's size was 55kb =/

Installation Aborted ROM Manager

I have used Rom Manager numerous times to download and flash new roms. Today I decided I would try the Uncommon Sense rom. I downloaded it through rom manager and when it went to flash the rom this is what I get:
Installing: SDCARD:/clockworkmod/download/www.pcjock.com/uncommon_sense_v11.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/uncommon/uncommon_sense_v11.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log Please open
ROM Manager to repor the issue.
I tried different roms and get the same error. Any ideas?

well i did it the old fashioned way without rom manager and it worked flawlessly

Try reloading clockworkmod in rom manager. It fixed it for me

Also try downloading the rom again, have had similar issues in the past

A lot of people have had issues with Rom Manager. I just put the rom zip on the sd card and flash it that way. People have said Rom Manager does not do the wipes correctly.

It looks like ROM Manager finds the ROM in one place then tries to install it from another.
The simple answer is to just install it from recovery from the SDCARD:/clockworkmod/download/www.pcjock.com/ location.

Had the same issue....I reinstalled clockwork recovery and it worked!

Is there logging somewhere to help determine what's causing the issue?
Trying to help a dev add a ROM to ROMManager, but it fails to install every time.
--If I boot to recov. mode, format system/data/cache, remount system, and then install the ROM from zip file on sdcard, it works great (from recov., not from RM).
--If I try to install from ROMManager either from .zip on SD, -OR- via download, both fail.
Keeping in mind that this is on a DroidX, which presents it's own set of challenges...
Looking for a way to better debug this, to help devs of both the ROM and ROMManager... anyone have any advice on where to start?
Edit: I was unable to locate a recovery.log. No *.log in /sdcard/clockworkmod/ at all.

[Q] Gapps help

I've installed the latest Cyanogenmod, the latest CWM 3.0.2.4, fixed permissions in the rom manager, and I still cant get the gapps to install. I attempted to install the suggested gapps for cyanogen 7, and no luck.
When I attempt to install it reads:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
When I select to enable signature verification, it then reads it failed signature verification.
The process I use to attempt to install the gapps is, I open the Rom Manager, select reboot into recovery and then install zip file from sd.
I've tried several different versions of the gapps, and still no luck.
I have researched this for the past few hours and I can not get this to work at all. I do have it rooted, everything else installed fine, with no complications. But I am very much stuck at this point. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I figured it out on my own. When you use CWM3, just go to download rom instead of manually doing it.
