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.

Installation aborted

Alright ive been trying now for a few days to flash a new cm7 nightly. Ive tried a few things, diffrent versions of cwm an tried via rom manager (install rom from sd card), tried fake flash a recovery and flashing .img recovery but i always get the same error.
Something like "finding package, opening package, cant open /sdcard/"romname", installation aborted"
Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?
I want a new rom or atleast a newer nightly

In CWM it'll be "toggle signature verification" I had this problem once and that was the solution!

Anyone?

I had the same issue a while ago, re-downloading the ROM zip worked for me
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

Yeah re-downloading the ROM was best fix for me, I remember it did it twice or three times before one actually worked.. alternatively you could always flash a different recovery (properly not fake flash) and see how that goes.

To make sure the download is complete, check the md5sum of the downloaded file in case you have one to compare. Otherwise, you could ask in the corresponding thread for it.

i flashed the newest cwm i found and still got the same problem, i've downloaded about 10 times but i always get the same error.
But i how do i find out the md5sum?

hmm.. try the recovery from my signature, flash it via fastboot.

Nothing worked so far.
Will try RA-Desire CM recovery when i get home ...

[Q] Can't update firmware on my One X

Hello, xda! I'm such a noob here and maybe this question will be stupid. I rooted my Htc One X two days ago and now cann't update firmware up to 1.29.401.11 from 1.29.401.7. Tried to goodle it, but didn't find anything helpful.
Here is what i tried to do:
1) In settings- update os
2) It said that here is a new one
3) Download it
4) Press "Install"
5) Phone is rebooting
6) ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.2.7 opened
7) Error in the bottom of screen:
Code:
"Finding update package..."
"E: unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD:Download/blah-blah-blah.zip]
"E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD:Download/blah-blah-blah.zip"
"Installation aborted"
8) I tried to install it manually, choose "install zip from sdcard" and click on file->Yes, install
9) Errors again:
Code:
Installing /sdcard/Download/blah-blah-blah.zip
Finding update package...
Opeing update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

What should i do to update my firmware? Thx.

You need to flash stock recovery and make sure you haven't deleted any system apps or flashed any system mods for the ota to work.
Or you could update using a ruu, it wipes your phone data but you get a fresh install

Flash stock recovery? can u give instruction, please?
I don't wanna ruu in this case.

Have a look at this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25656320
Put your phone in fastboot usb, run the program and pick the option for flash stock recovery. Then pick the recovery of the version your on, hit enter and jobs done

can someone give step-by-step instruction? I can't get it ><

Download the program in my last post to your pc
Put your phone into fastboot then connect to pc
Double click the run me file on your pc and wait for the program to pop up
Pick the option that says flash stock recovery
Then pick the option to flash 1.29 recovery.
Reboot your phone then try the ota

If you do not know even the basic steps to unlocking, flashing etc... then I suggest you stop right now before you end up with a $800 paperweight on your desk.
There are a number of threads in the Dev section that give you step by step instructions on what to do, just search. If you still don't understand then read again. If you still don't understand after reading again then stay clear of rooting, it's not for you.

I unlock it and it's working good. I flashed some programms, but i just don't know how to update, cuz in ClockworkMod there is nothing about firmware update.
I tried to search, but didn't find exactly what i need.

I guess you did not relock your bootloader.
You should follow this tutorial.

Hi Guys,
I ahve the same problem. I unrooted my phone, flashed stock recovery, locked my bootloader and resetted to factory default. It still won't update and gives a "warning" logo and then resets as if nothing happened.

I had the same errors.
I could't recovery - it just keept rebooting to fastloader.
I send it to be repaid but was told that the phone was parallel import and it would cost me the same as a new phone to fix it bcos of new "motherbord"...
It seems reasonably. The box did't have any danish manuals and the firm closed down few weeks after I bought it (danlet.dk). The repair guy said it was ment for Germany...

You could try one the custom roms based on 1.29.401.11 which is flashable in clockwork recovery along with the kernel via fastboot.

If you have Clockwork Recovery installed you cannot update over the air. You have two options:
1) Flash back to Stock recovery, update OTA and then flash Clockwork again
2) Flash a custom ROM that is already based on .11

Can nor restore to default Rom. Any suggestions

I tried restoring back to uprooted original Rom but the RUU errors out. Even downloaded new one.
I then extracted the boot and system image and the boot will flash but the system shows as bad and will not flask.
Rebooted and tried to recovery the rom zip but again fails as bad.
So right now I am at a lost on how to restore to a factory fresh system.
Thanks

Is this the error you are getting?
Error Code: -5001 : 0x80070002
Error Information:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp (142)
I'm getting the same thing with the RUU I downloaded and am seeking to get back to stock. So far no success, but see my thread below to see if something I've tried might work for you.

It'll be easier to diagnose your problem if you post any error messages.
You need to have stock recovery before running an RUU.

I have the stock RUU I used it last month without issue. When running it when it try's to update ram I get an unknown error 155. Make sure you have correct software.
When I extract the rom to flask. It fails and says bad rom.
I was able to find a zip original rom and using recovery from zip I was able to install and revert to 1.29.401.11
But trying download the software update to the new version after installing the original recovery and relocking it fails on install. It get about a quarter of the way through then recovery gets a red exclamatory or something and installation stops. So I tried installing the RUU again and still get the same error hoping that a fresh install would correct the update issue.
I hope this helps

Did you try power and up-vol at the red exclamation screen. I thought I saw somewhere that this will work (trying to find the link for it)? Give it a shot and let us know.

OK, I get it, you don't have a problem getting back to stock, but rather it's an OTA update error you have. I don't know anything about OTA updates but this error message should help someone else troubleshoot what's going on. Is it possible that you've used the incorrect RUU, but it just happened to work for you and now your image does not correspond with your correct OTA? Maybe post the exact file name of your RUU and the results of "fastboot getvar cid" and "fastboot getvar version-main".
Good luck!

4.4.1 Verification failing.

I downloaded the OTA update for my flo (nexus 7 wifi 2013). Checked the md5 checksum and it passes. tried to install it via asb sideload. Unlocked bootloader, stock recovery, stock system image and it says "whole-file verification", "signature verification failed", "installation aborted.
Im at at my wits end why? Everything is ****ing stock and I have re-imaged everything to ****ign stock to be sure and haven't been able to solve this for the last hour.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Update: Yes, I've searched this forums and others and most people come up with "its probably a corrupt download". And it is not. Also, tried iinstalled it with TWRP 2.6.3.1 , it still aborts, albeit with a different error (cant recall).

You mentioned that it's not corrupt, but have you verified that the file isn't corrupt via something like an MD5 hash? There are numerous programs you can grab from google to do this.
The MD5 for the copy I downloaded from google: ce344ae6d5d2f74f80c9009947c9cbe9
That really should be the only reason you get that error in my experience...if you could find out what the TWRP log says that would help as well.

WHy not just go the rooted route and install this Stock Rooted 4.4.1 - KOT49E - Official Google OTA! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558756

Does it not say where the verification failed? It checks each system file that needs to be patched one by one and when it gets to one that's been modified it aborts the update, whenever this happens for me it says exactly which file it failed on

Nope
