thats because the rom you are trying to flash has no signature, all you have to do is use a recovery that lets you flash unsigned .zip's, the latest version of clockworkmod recovery that comes with the unrevoked flash tool lets you do this

I did what you said and it worked from what i can tell and it loaded on AuraxTSense. The problem is at start up now it just says loading, this may take a few minutes to complete and just hangs there. I can't do anything with it and i can't change the rom from the recovery menu so now i'm even more stumped.

at witch part is it saying please wait? has the rom booted? did you do a full wipe before flashing? try doing a full wipe from the partitions menu in recovery and re flashing the rom

rebooted it and this time it just loaded up properly. Strange but hey.

Thanks for you help on my previous problem. It's basically the same issue but i've also tried deleting the partitions in the recovery menu. I've tried changing the rom from clockworkmod, nothing is working. It just puts AuraxTSense back to default.

Problem after root Red Triangle/Question mark after Reboot

Hello guys, I have HTC One V GSM which was recently unlocked and rooted by me. I don't remember how I got that but got it Rooted somehow.
Now Problem is I am unable to backup recovery, unable to install Rom, unable to install themes, after every reboot of following actions,
In Rom Manager
Reboot into recovery takes me to red question mark
The Rom you are using doesn't support OTA updates. The developer of this Rom needs to make the appropriate changes so their ROM support OTA update. Please contact ROM developer.
Installation Rom from sd card also shows red question mark.
In ROM Toolbox pro
Rom management
when i install MIUI (one of the ROMs available seen there) after reboot into recovery option same "red question mark"
unable to change font once I got them changed fortunately/unfortunately
so basically I don't know what to do. I don't even know what exactly can i do after Root else then deleting few pre installed apps
I am very very, in fact very, new to all these tech things just checked internet and did few things.
Please help me guys

1) don't use rom manager
2) it seems you don't have a recovery. Flash it again via fastboot

Thanks Mr Nooby for your reply
Since I am very new to these, did u mean the same procedure I did after unlocking bootloader? procedure of rooting?
Is there anyway I can stat over with new Root I mean fresh after Unlocked bootloader? Then may be I can re start installing Roms and tweaking phone?

Yeah you can flash roms and stuff. Remember that fastboot folder you used to root the phone? Put the recovery file (go for twrp recovery, you can find it in original development of this phone) in that folder, connect the phone in fastboot mode, open cmd and type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img", it will send recovery to the phone. From there you can install roms. Never use rom manager, it bricks your phone. And whenever you flash a rom, remember to flash kernel or it will be in boot loop

Also pls post questions like this in Q&A thread...

E:/%20cant%20/open%20cache/recovery/command
this error comes when i recover after flashing fastboot..
have tried twrp too
it aslso says
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

I don't really understand what could give you the problem. Tell the exact steps you are doing

steps are.. I have downloaded fastboot zip it has adb, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll, fastboot
i have downloaded twrp.mg (openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou)
Opened cmd from same folder typed fastboot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou or openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou.img
then pressed recovery
phone restarted green circle thing and then Red triangle with exclam sign. then rebooted by own and nothing happened.
I might be wrong doing it but unable to do anyting.
Can I unroot and start again?
I am downloading HTC asia RUU
Downloading:

See, you are taking wrong steps. In order to put recovery on phone you must type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img", not all the stuff you are writing dude

Lost recovery when trying to flash 4.3 ROM

Ok so I am not the greatest when it comes to flashing ROMs but so far I have managed to get by.
I went from MMuzzyROM 4.2.2 to [ROM] [4.3] [JSS15J]. I wiped my data/dalvick/cache, flashed the new ROM and Gaaps and installed SuperuserSU. As of right now SuperuserSU will not install and I get an installation error. And when using Rom Manager I can not reboot into recovery. And there is a bit more, when I try and boot into recovery from the holding the volume and power button down, after choosing recovery the android with the error shows up. From what I understand is that the 4.3 rom I flashed removed the stock recovery, but I am just confused how to get back recovery.
My main question is did I loose root and how can I get the recovery option back.
Thanks, Noel

4.3 is buggy with root right now. You can use rom manager to reflash cwmrecovery or you can use goomanager to install twrp

When trying to flash CWR I get an error message. I am pretty sure I am unrooted without an option for recovery and stuck on 4.3?

what error message?
what's the fastboot command you're using to flash recovery.
about loosing your recovery after flashing/boot/reboot OS for the first time, it's probably the same that 4.2 had
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/install-recovery.sh

The error message is when using the clockwork mod app to install the recovery, once downloaded it states an error has occurred. Then when trying TWRP I am following these steps I get "fastboot is not a recognizable command..." I am pretty lost as you can tell and am thankful for the help.

Mainly because I thought if I had rooted my device and done all this once, I should remember how to do it again. But through ignorance I thought I could and be able to remember the steps and what not. I'll read through it and figure it out, it was just a moment of panic of losing the option of recovery that I have had for a long time and not being able to use it means (or I think it means) I am just stuck of 4.3 for a bit and hopefully the ROM isn't too bad.

Hmm...as I suspected, that is the exact error you would receive if you tried to flash a ROM without first performing a factory reset (perhaps you were mistaken in thinking you did so?).
Your shell is unavailable, which means you cannot use it to change the bootmode to access recovery. However, if you have FireFireFire installed, you can use it to access custom recovery with the power button. If you don't have FireFireFire installed, then shame on you :wags finger: because you'll need a factory cable to get into fastboot so you can access recovery from there.

Get a factory cable. That's all you can do...that is, without opening the device and shorting a certain pin to drop the device into usbboot so you can install a new bootloader and custom recovery, which would also put the device into fastboot mode afterwards...but I would suggest you steer clear from that option until you have no other choice.

As mentioned previously, that error is from not performing a factory reset when flashing a ROM. As a result, you need a factory cable to enable fastboot, and in effect, access custom recovery so a factory reset can be performed.

Ok I Fixed it, COTR did it for me. @kvnkarthik if you could find a way to replace twrp with cotr that would solve your problem in flashing update.zip. Also I used the stock rom downloaded through kfu which is already in zip file, no need to rename it. Once you're in cotr, do a pre-flash wipe then install it and you're good to go. And no, I'm not using a factory cable just the one that I used on my phone.
Good luck. Hope it helps.
