I am trying to install the ozzey ROM on my incredible I just got it and rooted it. I have Rom managr, astro file viewer and titanium backup installed. I know I can do it via update.zip or Rom manager but it always fails and says signature verification failed. I triple checked the file to see that it was in .zip not .zip.zip I had windows show the hidden file extensions. In Rom manager it says whole file verification failed along with signature file. Astro file viewer shows it as update and on the root of the SD card but still get the error. I haven't done nand unlock or backup, and I don't care about looking any apps its a new phone with nothing on it. Any suggestions or method instructions? Does the SD card have to be fat32? My SD card is the 2gb pny card. Thanks!
You should just be able to use the .zip, put it anywhere on your sd card. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (If you flashed the new recovery using reflash.exe from unrevoked), DO A NANDROID BACKUP (this is a full system backup), format the user data and cache partition (both options), select update with a .zip and select your preferred .zip file (in your case ozzeh's)
See here for more information and any questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220
Any thoughts as to why I am getting those errors? Can I use the re flash tool and go into clockmode recovery and install througt that?
If you do not have clockwork recovery you're not going to be able to flash a ROM. You need to use the reflash tool before you can flash any ROMS.
i have clockwork recovery its on my phone but it still won't flash. Also I tried the reflash but it keeps saying that its interrupted, I uninstalled HTC Sync and it still doesn't work. I also tried to format the sd card to fat32 and ran clockwork recovery but it didnt work same error
It's not clear from your posts exactly what your error is. You say you have Clockworkmod Recovery installed but you keep referencing trying to flash from ROM Manager.
What happens when you boot into Recovery and try to flash the zip file from there?
I instaleld Clockworkmod from ROM Manager, 2.0.1.3 is the verison of clockworkmod I have installed on the phone. I then use ROM Manager to install ROM SD card and it fails, it says signature verification failed and whole-file verification failed. I booted into it and it says it can't find the file in /cache/ and it says verification failed so it aborts and reboots.

You might want to try a different rom and see how it goes.
That makes no sense. You can't flash CWM Recovery from ROM Manager on the Incredible (although you can update a prior install, sort of); you have to use unrevoked's tool.

I thought I remember reading in some thread that ROM Manager going to clockworkmod will not work because there is no write access.
You will have to use recovery reflash tool to install the clockworkmod recovery and boot into it.
You can find that information in this thread:

You can use Rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery and install the zip from there however, you can't use the feature "Install rom from sd card" within rom manager itself.
Well I tried using just ROM manager to boot into clockwork and I was able to but it still gives me the same errors. I can't do the unevoked flash it reboots then says the communications were intruputed. I deleted HTC synch and had the usb on both disk drive connection and HTC synch but it doesn't go through

Did you ever successfully use unrevoked's flash utility? If you just downloaded rom manager and booted in to recovery without successfully flashing, that won't work.
If you're having problems using the reflash tool then I suggest you get that working and then try again installing a rom.
Use terminal emulator to verify u have su.. Just type su and click accept, if u can do that follow word for word unrevoked reflash method, including installing the correct drivers for adb.

i just did terminal emulator and i get root acess, #, superuser comes up and allows me to access it, so I will try again but for some reason I get that communication was interuppted.
hey, thanks to all you guys I finally got the custom ROM to work. I did the revoked flash, i had to delete the old htc driver and start again, and once it finally flashed just mounted the sd card and installed, worked perfectly, thanks again!!

Congrats man, good to hear you finally got it working.
Well, I was trying to flash the newest ARHD, I already had 3.2, so i decided it was time to update. I read through the post and saw i needed clockwork 3.0.2.6 or higher, so I installed it through rom manger, This didn't work the first time so i deleted the file off my sd card, and tried again, my phone booted into CWM, I wiped cache, dalvik cache and system/data partitions. The tried to install the rom, I kept getting the error "(bad)" . So i booted into fastboot and with my extensive knowledge of command prompt (I'm used to terminal), proceeded to use fastboot commander, and tried to flash an older CWM through that, it said "SUCCESS" so i tried to boot into recovery to find out that it hangs at the HTC screen, then I tried to flash the rom through fastboot commander, and it failed, my original nand backup's system.img has gone corrupt, so the only thing I can do is flash the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip, so I put this on my sd card, well attempt, and my newish 16gb sc card decides it doesn't like me and stops working, I found an old 4gb card (I lost my 8gb) and copied the image to it, now when i boot into bootloader with the image on the formated sdcard, it goes through the image check at the start but takes maybe 3 minutes, then loads into the bootloader. During the check it fails on PD98IMG.zip and cannot find any of the others, is my DHD bricked?
This is really urgent, I need my phone by tomorrow, it's 10PM, can someone please help me.
Hi,
Firstly can you answer these questions.
1) Do you have ENG S-OFF?
2) Did you check the MD5 of the PD98IMG.zip & ARHD ROM prior to flashing?
Sounds like a bad download. Did the md5 match?
I have found this, hope it helps.

All working, thanks for helping me
Hey,
Basically, I've got a HTC Wildfire with HBoot 1.0.0.2 - s-off was already disabled by stock.
I first of all tried to root with revolutionary, this attempt failed and it booted back up into a red triangle with an exclamation mark - pulled the battery out and all was fine again, booting into android. Realised later that this was due to being on 2.2.1
Then I tried rooting with Gingerbreak, it gave me a failed message and say it might just be the fact that it failed to restart - rebooted the phone and superuser was installed so it appears to have worked
ok so, installed custom rom manager and tried to install clockworkmod, it appears to have installed but when I click boot from clockworkmod it reboots and goes back into the red triangle?
any ideas to what might be going wrong, i think theres a problem with the clockworkmod installation
THANKS
Get a PC49IMG.Zip of a CWM Recovery version you want from here: (Point #6), place on SDCard, and reboot into HBoot. It will install CWM, then try selecting Recovery again in HBoot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12782368&postcount=2
I am assuming by "s-off was already disabled by stock" you mean you ARE S-OFF.
It says S-OFF on the top of HBoot, so I would presume that it was disabled from factory
I put the .zip on the SD card, and booted HBoot - it did it's scan for files at startup but did not find the zip on the sd card? does it have to be in a particular place on the SD (PC49IMG.ZIP)
It's saying not found or wrong image - Im trying to use ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.0 - Click here for PC49IMG ZIP and its on the root of the sd card
I hope you clicked the right part of the link. Clockworkmod v5.0.2.0 and Click here for PC49IMG ZIP link to two different files. Try downloading the right hand side file (Which is a file named PC49IMG.zip), place that on your sd card and try again.
It should not be in any folder / sub-folder on your sd. Just place it as it is.

Hi guys, I was changing Roms and accidentally hit wipe internal storage in TWRP.
I've tried to flash a Sinless ROM, an insert coin ROM and also looked on htcdev website to get an RUU to try and put it back to stock, yet every time I try and install a zip file through twrp it says "unable to open zip file".
I've also taken a shot at trying to add sideload the rom on there, no progress is made and eventually fails again... I've got no backups saved or anything...
Is there anything else I can try to make my phone work again? I was possibly thinking trying to get my brother to do a backup on his M8, put his SD in my phone, then restore from his back up, will this work?
Is there anything else I can try in the mean time? Really don't know what to do next...
Many thanks in advance guys

Hi,
In my ignorance, i think the failed flashes could be caused by two things:
1- the recovery you are using is not updated. Try to flash the lastest TWRP recovery or change recovery version.
2- corrupted ROM zips. Maybe there are problems while downloading the ROMS or while you copy them to your external sd card. Try to download them on another computer AND using a different browser. And maybe put the zips on a different SD card if you can. But, MOST IMPORTANT thing, check the MD5 after you've finished to download the zips.
About the nandroid backup... I think it could work BUT be sure that your brother M8 has the same brand, firmware and Android version of your M8 (before you wiped everything).
However, about this last part w8 maybe for somone else more expert the me w

Get into fastboot and type in fastboot: fastboot erase cache
Than reflash your recovery with with fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Than make sure that your downloaded zip isn't corrupted by trying to unzip it. If its successful, place the rom into the SD card and insert it into your M8 and flash from there.
Set up everything and voila, all done!

My apologies, didn't notice your reply. If his is s-on, he can try his brother's nandroid and if it fails, nothing will happen so its possible for him to restore his brother's nandroid if they are based on the same firmware
I unlocked my boot loader by htcdev, phone is s-on though.
I've downloaded each file twice, and also downloaded the insertcoin rom on another computer, made no difference. I'm using twrp 2.7.0.2 I believe...
Where would I get a new recovery.img file from? Sorry to sound stupid but I'm not sure and don't wanna mess my phone up more. Also when you download the file do you have to have it in the same directory as adb.exe, so when you run the adb command it will get it from that directory?

Just tried doing this fastboot method, I typed in adb devices to see if the phone was recognised, didn't show up, I typed in fastboot erase cache and it still did so. I then pushed the latest TWRP recovery.img file on to the phone, it's now running the latest version of TWRP, but still won't let me flash anything, still keeps saying unable to open zip...

Have you made sure the insertcoin rom that you have downloaded is compatible with your device? Your device needs to be running the lastest firmware as all the roms are updated to 4.4.4
As for the recivery, the lastest is 2.8.1.0
Here's the link to the recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717932

Make sure you have HTC drivers installed. if you don't, download HTC Sync and uninstall HTC Sync leaving the drivers in your computer than type in: adb devices.
Boot into fastboot and flash the recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( or you can just directly drag the "recovery.img" into cmd and press enter)
Load the rom into a external SD card and insert the SD card into your device and flash the rom from there
Also, do you check MD5 after downloading the ROM????
My device was running 4.4.4 prior to this happening. I did download the latest recovery and push it to the phone, it did work, but upon trying to flash a new rom, it still says failed.
The phone is being detected in adb, when it's in recovery it says so, sideload it says so, just not fast boot?

http://www.guidingtech.com/9800/what-is-md5-checksum-how-to-verify-it/
Compare it with the MD5 given in the ROM topic
I had the same problem where I couldn't flash anything and it wouldn't mount my storage. I had to adb flash RUU though that only works for s-off users
So if the md5 was to be fine and matched up, what would you try next?
Thanks

Try unzipping the .zip file on your pc with 7zip and then re-zipping it and try to flash again. I've also had some .zip files that can't be read and it wouldn't even open on the pc itself(giving errors) until I unzipped it with 7zip and re-zipped it.

Also a fail to unzip will point towards a bad download.
Hi guys.
So I tried a new SD card, matched up the md5s, tried flashing a new recovery.img file (which worked, I'm running the latest twrp now), unzipped and rezipped using 7zip, yet when I try and flash it still fails! I've tried flashing on the phone and sideloading it, both still fail.
Sideload failure says:
"installing '/external_sd/sideload.zip'
checking for md5 file
skipping md5 check:no md5 found" - that's where it gives up...
Phone flash failure says exactly the same except another line after sayi ping "error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROM.zip"
I really don't know what to try anymore... I've tried so much and I just can't see anything working now
Thanks for your help so far guys

Did you try flashing from Internal memory instead of sdcard?
No I havent. How can I get the rom to the internal memory mate? the phone has no OS on, so it's stuck in recovery or bootloader, how can I transfer the file to internal rather than the sd card?
Twrp 2.8.1.0 has MTP working.

Since your device only boots into the bootloader menu, all you'll have to do is highlight the Recovery option using the Volume Down button and select it with the Power button. If you do not see the Recovery option, just select Bootloader with the Power button and it should pop up.
Once in TWRP, tap the Advanced option and select ADB Sideload.
From there, you will be given the option to Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache partitions, so go ahead and do so by checking the boxes and Swipe to Start Sideload. After it starts, you will be ready to start your ROM flash.
With your device connected to your computer and your ROM file already on your desktop, you are ready to flash.
Kill ADB using the adb kill-server command, then restart it with adb usb.
Make sure your computer can identify your device with the adb devices command.
Flash your ROM with adb sideload Desktop/ROM.zip (be sure to change "desktop" to "downloads" or where ever your ROM is stored, and change "ROM.zip" to the name of your ROM file).
Sorry mate I didn't understand your previous post but I tried this method already, tried flashing Roms using sideload and they still fail, I've posted the error message in one of my previous posts if that helps?

Tried to post this to the thread but I'm under the 10 post limit, so it redirected me here. I have a Sprint HTC 10 with S-off thanks to sunshine. I did the RUU to start clean as I was coming from a non-magisk version of Viper on the old radio. Succesfully got back to stock with updated radio and still mainted S-off. Installed magisk 11.6, and it shows properly rooted (green checkmarks across the board)
Downloaded the magisk version of Viper10 5.7 zip to my external SD card. Using the latest version of TWRP i tried to install Viper10, but I get an error:
-Creating /cache/magisk.img with size 320M
-Mounting /cache/magisk.img to /magisk
-Copying files
-Setting permissions
-Unmounting partitions
Updater process ended with ERROR: 2
Error installign zip file '/external_sd/Viper10_5.7.0_MAGISK.zip'
Updating partition detials...
...done.
Tried installing the zip via Magisk, seems to load, asks me to reboot, but when I reboot I'm still on stock android. I goto my modules section and the only module showing is viper10rom with (no info provided) for the details under the rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Did you check the md5 of your download?
can you pull the /tmp partition and the the installation in twrp and upload it?

I did, matched up. I even downloaded it again. I ended up running out of time to be messing with it and did a full install, not a magisk load. The full rom loaded fine.
