That rom isn't signed.
You need to testsign this first. Or... Did you not install patched recovery?

hello
what i have done is ...
1) installed INSTAROOT
2) Installed ASTRO File manager
3) Copied FLASHREC.apk and recovery-RA-herov1.5.2.img to SD card from PC
4) Installed FLASAHREC via ASTRO File manager
5) Backup and Restore it with recovery-RA-herov1.5.2.img
6) Copied Villian12 to SD Card
7) Went to Root Boot by holding HOME and POWER button
8) WIPE the DATA, DIVCACHE, BATTERY and all things except SD CARD coz couldnt able to do it..it was showing to wipe via adb..ya i have done partition too
9) FLASH UP WITH ZIP UPDATE
10) it started but end up with No Signature (785 files)
INSTALLATION ABORTED

Custom ROMs (such as VR12 for example) should not fail verification. If they do the file is corrupt. You need to redownload it and then retry (just the part of putting it on the SD card and flashing it from the recovery).

Ok. Sounds like recovery is not patched maybe?
Install amonra 1.6.2 and be sure recovery says its version at bottom of screen in recovery

Hi friend
Hello
New way---what i have done is...
1) downgrade it to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver via GOLDCARD method
Now can you tell me what to do to install the custom rom. Do I need to root it first? If yes then please suggest me the way. I'm sorry for disturbing you now n then but bro i'm completely new to this...kindly help me out.

Follow steps 1 to 10 of this guide, and then 11: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=4956#p4956
Then follow section 2 to install your custom rom. Be aware that the link in the guide points to an old version of villainrom, but you can just use a newer rom exactly the same like vr12 or something

Thanks a ton friends
Yuppiieeee..I'm on Villain 12 now...thank you all...CHEERS...

what should i do now?

3 UK & androd 2.1 update - Help please
Please can someone please help.
I have an unlocked Orange HTC Hero, and someone loaded a 3 UK Rom Android 1.5, from the web forums, which is supposed to be the same as an Offical one from 3. I'm
not sure if they used "update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-signed.zip" or update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-rooted-signed.zip. Does it matter?
I now get the 3 UK OTA update to android 2.1, I want to use this and keep all the 3 stuff, but when I try to install, I get the following;
Build : RA-hero-v1.5.2
Finding update package …
Opening update package …
Verifying update package …
E:No signature (660 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong? I'm really very new to all this.
Thank you.

I am confused myself, why on earth would you want to use a 3 UK ROM on an Orange network? If anything you wanna be using a WWE ROM...

I'm on the 3 Network (not Orange). Only the handset is an unlocked Orange handset. Any ideas please?

oh right, sorry. Your using a generic ROM there for the one you want to update but on the phone is a 3 ROM. If you wipe it you will loose everything on the phone.
Your gettin verification failed because they are different. 3 ROM on the phone and generic WWE rom what your trying to put on it. You will need to use a 3 UK 2.xx.xx.xx rom first.

The Original Rom was of course Orange.
Now I'm not sure if I have "update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-signed.zip" or update-hero-generic-2.73.771.73-rooted-signed.zip on the phone right now, from the forums. It's one of them.
The OTA update for 2.1 fails to install - I get the following;

E:Verification failed

Thanks,

So what are you trying to do? downgrade? the rom from 2.1 to a 1.5 rom?

I want the OTA 2.1 upgrade from 3 Network UK to install, But I get the error already mentioned.

ah, then in that case you will need to try a restore on your rom you have loaded, I get what you mean now. Try a restore/erase phone from the settings menu first, then try the OTA again. You will loose any content on the phone.

If I restore/erase, what Rom will then be on the phone. Wouldn't it then be blank, or would the old Orange come back. How would I get the 3 Rom back on the phone. I'm really confused.

It will restore the ROM loaded but back to default as in what ROM is loaded now but with default settings. It has the 3 ROM on the phone now doesn't it?... Or does it have the Orange ROM on it?
Yes, you are confused. I can tell because you are confusing me too.

Have some hardware problems with my phone (screen live its own life, I can control it form 1 cm away from the screen). And want to put everything back (so unroot it, and put original rom back. So I can send it in for repair.
Does anyone know who to do this?
check this http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-hero/
They are also in [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links
Plus there are a few others there that aren't listed on the other link given.
Thnx! But when I do this, i get an error message saying:
Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The rom update Utility cannot update you Android phone.
Please get teh correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
What should i do?
What ROM version have you got at the moment? Which ROM are you trying to install?
Are you trying to put on an older ROM than you currently have?
You should be able to put the same or a newer ROM on. That error message is usually received when ppl are trying to downgrade *I THINK*.
Use HEROIMG.ZIP
I believe the easiest solution to your problem is the following:
- Run RUU update on your computer
- After the installer starts, and before it completes, search at your local temp directories for a file named "rom.zip"
- Copy it, this is your actual rom
- Rename it to HEROIMG.zip and put it in SD root
- Restart your hero while keeping Volume Down button pressed
- The bootloader will start and should normally find the HEROIMG and flash it
Done!
Good luck!
PS: I believe this process is written elsewhere in the forums but could not trace it at the moment.

Indeed it does not work. I get the error saying:

Atm I am using Villian 5.5.0
So if I understand correctly I have to wait till there is a 2.1 update for the Hero before I can go back to a official HTC rom?
Oh,... Your already running a custom ROM?

[Q] unroot Hero without usb

Hello Everyone
I know, there are many How-To's and ways to achieve what I want. unfortunately non of those I tried have worked.
My goal. I want to unroot my Hero, to send it back to RMA, because the usb controller is not working. And this is the second biggest Problem atm.
All the How-To's to unroot the device an install the original RUU or at least most of them include the use of the USB function. (creating a gold card 4 example or flashing a different bootloader)
To the USB Controller. It is hopeless. I tried everything. I even set up a Linux VM but where ever I plug it in, the system won't recognise my hero. They don't even recognise something.
Lucky me, the Hero is still able to charge the battery.
*****
Ok lets give some details on the actual situation.
I'm able to boot to HBOOT/Fastboot (volume down)
I'm able to boot to Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7 (home)
Right now, it's restoring the system to FroydVillain 1.7.1, because i formated the boot partition (After 5 hours, I was tired and did one big mistake)
> The restore worked. I have my old System again.
What I tried to do
1. I downloaded the actual RUU, ran it, got the rom.zip out of it.
2. Booted into Clockwork Mod and tried to install from zip, where i got [Error Message 1]
3. Renamed the rom to update.zip and tried to install toe "normal" way. Also got the same [Error Message 1]
4. Renamed the rom into HEROIMG.zip, ran HBOOT which checks the zip and led me to [Error Message 2]
Error Message 1
Code:
-- Installing: SDCARD:rom.zip
Finding update package ...
Opeing update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)

I downloaded the actual Hero RUU three times from the website, in case something went wrong while dl.
I got an older RUU from a xda thread and tried it with tis one.
I am not able to create a goldcard, because you have to connect the phone via usb to a computer.
Well Any help is much appreciated.
Regards

Hey,
really sh*tty that usb ain't working..
having trouble from time to time myself, got a suggestion for ya though
1) find yourself a rom that is very close to a stock rom (suggesting stock WWE,
as can be found on this forum, mr bang, stock wwe rooted)
http://www.romraid.com/paul/hero/upd...5.5-signed.zip (maybe an option)
2) make sure it doesn't have a customized kernel (or flash the stock one )
3) make sure it doesn't have apps2sd
4) use universal androot => UNROOT
5) delete busybox from your phone
guess this should get as close as it can be to a stock sense rom
(meaning unrooted and minor customizations
grtz, [email protected]
Hey mattnmd
Thank you for the hints!
Actually I could not download the ROM because the link seems "wrong" but it pointed me in the right direction.
I found e repacked Stock ROM (1.5) which I was able to flash.
So... My base system is ok for the moment. BUT my recovery is not
There is still clockworkmod recovery installed and it won't let me install updates.
Now in the next step I need a way to flash a different recovery (the original) without the use of USB.
androot does work. btw =)
Thanks a lot

Put the Hero like stock without USB
Is there a solution for this already?!! I've exactly the same problem - USB doesn't works, not even for charge! And I need to make it stock-alike in order to send it to warranty. I managed to install the stock ROM but still, there's the AmonRa Bootloader installed... I created a goldcard without USB using this: w ww.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-creating-goldcard-using-mac-or-linux/
but, when I try to apply the HEROIMG.zip trough Hboot, it says "Main version is older"
What am I missing?! Is the installed radio too recent for the stock image I'm trying to install?!
I have no solution jet. But I'll write as soon as I see a way.

HTC Desire S - xda app
Worked for me!!!
Well, I found a way to solve my problem! I needed to put my GSM Hero as stock as possible (without root/custom ROMS/AmonRa/etc) without USB... The only solution, as far as I've read is to flash using a GoldCard the zip file from the RUU *.exe from HTC. I manage to create the GoldenCard without USB but when I tried to flash, it would say "Main Version is Older" after checking the HEROIMG.zip . It finally worked when I used this particular RUU version: RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_No Driver.exe from XDA thread #559622. Give it a try
Finally done
Hey dusturn
You are my (HTC) Hero
I just made the goldcard, and installed the new/old image (2.73.405.38) The Device got the old cupcake 1.5 on it and I was not able to get into recovery anymore!
It finally seems to be ok! Thank you very much!

How did you make goldcard without USB? I have the same problem but cannot find a solution.

JB won't install on my phone no matter what.

I've fastbooted so i'm completely on stock. No safestrap, or custom ROM.
The official JB OTA didn't work either, but that was before I fastbooted and I haven't been able to see if the OTA works instead of the manual install but we'll have to wait and see.
I place the JB file on my ext. sd card.
I go into recovery and hit install from sd card and choose the JB.
It starts to update, but it gives me this error shortly after.
"Verifying update package
Failed to verify whole-file signature
Signature verification failed
Installation Aborted"
I've redownloaded the JB files twice and so I don't think its the files are corrupt. I don't know where else to go from here. I always do it with above 60% battery so that isn't a issue either.
Any help? Can't seem to find anyone who can fix this for me.
Hi poncedeleon,
This method worked for me...(i'm assuming you arent a noob with this)
Head over to :
Razr ROMs Thread
Download the version you need. I used one of the RETAIL en.EU brandings but this might not be relevant to you.
1. Extract the .zip to a folder
2. Put the Razr into Fastboot and connect USB
3. Run prj-mfastboot.exe from the extracted folder - this is a really quick step
4. Run FlashME.bat - took about 5 mins and should boot into stock rom
You will need to re-root if you want.
Hope this helps
Informal Disclaimer - please dont blame me if it goes wrong or doesnt work. it worked when i did it.

Hey, thanks for your help but it ended up working anyways. I guess the download i had was corrupt and that was causing it. I downloaded the JB from another website and it worked flawlessly.
Again, thanks for trying to help

[Q] i747M rom signing

The usb port in my samsug i747M S3 is not working on any pc and my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I need to know if there is anyway to flash in a custom recovery via the stock recovery or flash in a new zip flashable rom through stock recovery.
I have used cygwin kitchen to put together a flashable zip from a odin rom i downloaded online but i keep getting esignature verification failed. After researching this i found that only samsung signed zips are allowed to be flashed in stock recovery. How can i sign my zips and make them appear as Samsung signed? If possible!!

Sorry man, that's pretty much the proverbial rock and a hard place... I'm assuming you already tried the factory reset? There really aren't many options when you are in this situation without getting the USB port fixed (which is soldered, so not the easiest thing to do). You can't flash a custom recovery or rom through the stock 3e recovery. At all. Some phones you can, this isn't one of them. This limits your options to 2 things -
Find an OTA update zip that is the same version or the one that is the next in line of updates such as this:
http://www.androidegis.com/how-to/leaked-jelly-bean-ota-update-for-bell-galaxy-s3-i747m-9-mvlali1/ (but this is older and probably won't work and do not even try if you were 4.3 last and is a leak version - this is just for example purposes only)
or you can try this, though since your boatloader is probably fine, not sure if it will work either:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Other than that, your options are JTAG service or fixing the port, which if you are gonna spend the $ for a JTAG service, it'd make more sense to just put that towards the repair and then it will be very easy to reload the OS once that is fixed.

I specifically said that it probably wouldn't work and was only for the idea. That update was a leaked version of 4.1.1. I'm assuming your system is probably newer than that, hence why it wouldn't work. I don't know what update you are on and not sure if there is an OTA that would be helpful even. Just saying in your current situation, there aren't many options.

[Q] Two ROMs trying to load at once?

Hi!
This is my first time ever posting here and although I've found some topics relating to my issue, none have helped me out.
My problem:
I downloaded an app called Flashify.
From the app, I downloaded android 4.4 KitKat because I wanted to update my ROM.
When I booted my phone into recovery (stock <3e>), I clicked on install from SD card, installed the .zip file but I got an error...
It read:
"E:failed to verify whole-signature"
"E:signature verification failed"
"E:update fail and delete temp files"
"formatting /cache..."
Instalation aborted.
Now, if I try to set up my phone again, I'll get as far as the welcome screen and it will always say:
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped."
Please help.
I've tryed everything and I can't get rid of that error!
Thank you
Oh by the way, I forgot to give some details
The phone is a Huawei Ascend g330 U8825-1
Android 4.0.4 ICS
Rooted
Running stock everything (or at least it was...)
The file I tryed to install is called: "gapps-kk-20140105-signed-4.4.zip"
Did you even look at a guide on how to update your phone? Actually, I am quite sure you didn't or else you completely misunderstood everything you read. Neither is a good thing when trying to do something complicated like updating your phone unofficially.
1) You can't install a custom rom with stock recovery.
2) You didn't even download a rom - those are the Google Apps that are to be installed along with a custom rom like CyanogenMod.
3) You have to unlock the bootloader to install the custom recovery that will allow you to install updates not signed directly by Huawei.
I suggest you read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198908
There are links in the later pages to a version of 4.4.2 from the Modaco forums, as well as links to the original firmware, which you will probably need to re-install if a factory reset doesn't help.

I'm new to all of this and I thought that the app that I downloaded could do it all in one operation.
I wanted to take a chance and see would happen, thinking that any consequences that may occur, could be fixed with a factory reset.
Thanks for the link and the advice.
I'll have a read, now
Is it a serious problem or is there any way to fix it?
I tryed unlocking the Bootloader in DC-Unlocker but to no avail.
