Hi guys,
I have unlocked my bootloader a few days ago, and also installed the CWM recovery, which I used to install the ATT 2.3.4 ROM (I own an International Atrix), and it was working flawlessly. Being annoyed by that bunch of bloatware, I decided to install the Alien-ROM, so I wiped data with fastboot -w, and entered CWM to erase the cache partition/dalvik cache and install Alien. The problem is, when I tried to install the .zip package, CWM threw at me "Installation Aborted", with no error message whatsoever, just before "Beginning Installation". At first I thought my .zip was corrupted, so I re-downloaded it and tried again, but got the same error.
Being unable to install the AlienROM, I fastbooted the ORFR ROM (surely a lot cleaner than ATT's) and installed the ROM manager app, and through it, updated my CWM to the latest version. And then there I was trying to install the .zip again, with no success. As a last effort, I uninstalled manually the install-recovery.sh file and the recovery partition, reinstalled Tenfar's CWM, but fell into the same error: "Installation Aborted".
Does someone have a clue of that is happening??
Thanks in advance.
Rom manager recovery does not work always.what I suggest is use tenfar recovery and then put alien zip on your ext.SD card and use tenfar recovery --- choose zip from SD card--- browse and select alien.zip and flash through it.
Hope this helps.
Well, I tried to install Tenfar's CWM, as I said at the end of my first post. I recently installed a new CWM-based recovery, and it also failed to install any .zip. Could it be because I'm using ORFR ROM? I've noticed the misbehaving os CWM when I uninstalled ATTs ROM...
Install rom racer's recovery.
I voided my warranty.

Let us know if this helps

May be you want to try installing the CWM from here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
This should most likely help you fixing the issue you are facing.
Good Luck.
Cheers!!!
Just tried the recovery mentioned above by you all... and nothing, I keep getting the same error -> "Installation aborted", right after "Beggining installation" (or something like that)
Any clues?

How are you installing RomRacer's CWM? Flashing the .zip or via fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I've installed it through fastboot, as it's the only way I can do it... my problem resides solely on the fact that I can't install any .zip through it, I keep getting "Installation aborted", no matter what I try to install (Kernels/ROMs/etc)
Pedrohz... Are you using a Mac? If so do you have it set to unzip after downloading? Then are you re-zipping the file before you try to install? If so turn off the unzip feature. Just a thought... Hope it helps
Similar Issue, can't boot into anything :/ if you can help, read below :S
Ok, so I backed up using Oringinal CWM, and it said all OK. After this, I restored the backup, just to check all was working. I got the error error formatting /system. Rebooting, I found that my phone wouldn't boot. Thinking the only way out was to flash a new ROM, I flashed the new boot.img from evals Orange France 2.3.4 firmware, so that I would have the ram fix. After this, I wiped all the caches and the user data, and tried to install the ROM.
SAME FRIGGEN ERROR. no error code, just installation aborted.
Finally, I tried AGAIN with romracers cwm, but same error. Restoring from backup now gives the error - "Unable to flash new boot.img" or something along those lines.
If anyone cares, heres what my phones running
Firmware = Orange UK 4.4.20 (Android 2.2.2)
SBF= Bell_ihop (the international bootloader unlock sbf)
State= Won't boot past the big red M in the centre of the screen.

Do at your own risk, I'm not responsible for damage to your phone. I dunno everyone says that, so I might as well.
clockworkmod recovery is nothing more than an update.zip that you apply.
-place the update.zip onto internal 16gb root
-reboot phone into recovery mode
-choose reinstall packages
-phone might reboot and go back into normal recovery, dont worry, just reinstall packages one more time, you should now be in cwm.
Here is the update.zip for cwm I uploaded for you on sendspace. Download and apply at your own risk, I'm not responsible for damage to your phone.

Thanks it worked
I tried the same thing but when i was installing the update.zip from recovery mode i got an error. There was a droid picture with an exclamation mark by it. Any suggestions? do you have to have already installed odin to get these .zip files to install from recovery mode
make sure its the update.zip from rom manager. download a copy of the CWM file and rename it update.zip and make sure there is no other "update.zip" in the root of your sd card.
signature error
Why would I get a signature error ? Thanks for all the hard work..
Hey guys, I rooted my device with the CF-KG2 kernal and am trying to use Rom Manager with Clockwork Mod 4.0.1.5. to install Cyanogen mod.
I can't get into CWM recovery for anything after installing without getting:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifiyng update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I can't find a solution to this on google or anywhere on this forum.
I also tried manually wiping my data/cache and installing the cyanogen nightly 26 with the CWM 4.0 included with CF kernal. It installs fine but won't boot past the samsung logo, so I had to restore.
Any help is appreciated!
Do a fresh download of a cm7 nightly.
Put it into your internal sd card.
Boot into cwm recovery
Wipe data/cache/dalvik
Flash cm7 zip
If you get stuck at the screen flash the zip again from recovery and it should boot.
Also, don't flash it via flash update, do it via flash zip.

Thanks a ton. Believe it or not just installing the zip twice actually installed cyanogen perfectly. Amazing.

It's weird, seems to be due to custom versions of cwm recovery in most kernels, the other way todo it is to flash codeworx's cwm kernel then cm7, which seems to make it work with one flash of cm, but glad to hear you got it going.

I also have the same problem, errors when trying to boot CWM recovery. Did not allow me to back up anything. and now my phone is stuck on the Galaxy S 2 boot screen and keeps on looping. I think I was using lightning ROM previously. What is the next thing I should do to make the phone work again.
Once the phone works, how do I get CM7 on it? Thanks so much. I am a new user and am not really familiar with the process.

Pull the battery and boot to cwm again. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and flash cm7 (provided u put it on ur sd card).
If not, flash a stock rom, let boot and place latest cm7 .zip on ur ad card. Flash a kernel with cwm and flash cm7 .
I also have this problem. Also I can't back up my current rom, because it gives the same message as in First post. And I want to flash MIUI -rom. What to do?
Any solutions to this? I rooted using Zedomax's Method. all went smoothly. When I went into Rom Manager to backup, it said I had to flash CWM, I said ok. Now I get the same error as the OG. Don't know if the recovery worked prior to going into ROM Manager. I'm thinking of running the Zedomax's Method again to see if it reinstalls a workable CWM.
i have spent the last 2 days searching these xda forums. btw u guys rock. i would not have gotten throgh rooting and putting a custom rom my first phone if it wasn't for you. anyway, i found out the hard way that trying to mod an atrix with 2.3.6 on build 4.5.141 is not easy. after many wrong turns, i was finally able to unlock my bl and get my phone rooted. then i was able to play with cwm. i was able to backup my current rom, but cannot reboot into recovery. this made me curious so i tried to enter android recovery which failed as well. both ways gives me the droid guy and a triangle. i went thru all this work so i could flash a cool rom ( thinking cm7 since it seems to be stable, but i wanna check around). since i cant reboot into recovery, im kind of at a stand still. i did my best to search through the forums before i asked any stupid questions, but im stuck. please help me.
What have you tried to get into recovery? How did you install a recovery?
Delete install-recovery.sh @ /system/etc.
Then, install Rom Racers recovery via fastboot.

I tried to reboot into recovery from rom manager. When that failed i powered phone up holding volume down, then scrolled to android recovery option. i used automatic unlock v4.2 to unlock bl's (option 1). I did not use option 2 to root since i was not familiar with tenfar cwm. So i rooted using method #1 from rootzwiki's atrix page. I then chose option 6 for cwm recovery and rom manager. I went to market, downloaded rom manager. When i opened rom manager, i clicked flash cwm recovery. then tried to reboot into recovery and....dead end.
thanks swiftks. i was actually looking into following your advice. just didnt want to post until i tried. anyway, i already have rom racers zip downloaded onto my internal memory. the plan was to use rom manager to install rom from sd card just like its says on the noob page. just was never able to get that far. so im sorry for my ignorance, but how do i go about deleting that file. and how do i use fastboot to install rom racers recovery? im trying my best to learn. i broke my captivate a few days ago and this phone is new to me. plus, im not exactly a tech expert. i just follow directions well and have learned just enough to get myself into trouble
Ill let swift answer from here cuz im stumped. I do know to delete the file, you need root explorer (can find on play store) and root access. Open root explorer and navigate to system/etc then find the file and delete it.
update. so before i went hunting down root explorer i tried to flash cwm recovery through rom manager one last time (3rd time, every time said it was successful. lo and behold, i got into recovery. i am now going to attempt to upgrade to rom racers cwm. i did at one point download a fastboot file, just cant remember if i installed correctly cuz i was pretty drunk last night. how can i verify. i do definately have sdk tools tho. checked for adb devices. is fastboot under sdk tools? or was that a dumb question?. nevermind. i do have fastboot. found my fastboot device. Then entered "fastboot erase recovery" failed 000300003. im pretty sure this needs to be deleted as u suggested. when i got recovery to open, i went back and tried to finish installing romracers cwm via rom managers install from sd option. got the triangle again. reflashed cwm thru rom manager and was able to boot into recovery. from there i tried to install zip from sd, installation successful, reboot propmpt. rebooted. wnet directly to rom manager, tried to reboot into recovery... triangle. reflash thru rm, recovery boots. reboot system. tried to reboot into recovery, but triangle is back. the only way for me to get to recovery is reflash it everytime before i use it. this has got to be because i never deleted the path you suggested, right? im really tryin here, but i feel like im stuck inside a real life boot loop

On my computer the path for fastboot is android-sdk-tools/platform-tools/fastboot
i downloaded root explorer. deleted install-recovery.sh @ /system/etc. once i did this i was able to use fstboot commands from rom racers page. fastboot erase recovery was successful. then tried 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img'
error: cannot load.
im chipping away at it but wow. thoght i would be flashing cm7 by now. I do appreciate your patience, lord knows mine is running low

At this point are you still not able to get in recovery?
finally, success! just figured out what the hell im doing with fastboot. unzipped romracers cwm to same folder containing fastboot, finished last part of cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then fastboot reboot and voila! i now have rom racers cwm. i will now enter rom manager, backup rom (which i understand is a nandroid process). then start researcing cm7 and eventually some more roms to play with. thanks for all of your help
once recovery was fixed, everything was a breeze. put cm7zip on internal sd, installed from recovery, data wipe then cache wipe, then reboot. iput google apps zip on internal sd, installed from recovery. fancy new phone! only took me 3 days to do it. i hope someone else can learn from my mistakes

Okay, so this is what happened:
1) I received the OTA update and everything went fine with upgrading the my T-mobile Springboard tab to ICS 4.0.3
2) I then got brave and went ahead with rooting and installing SU using the technique described in "Root Stock T-Mobile Springboard" by xdajunkman. That worked fine and I was able to get CWM recovery installed.
3) I then tried to install the [ROM][ICS] [Unofficial] Root-ready Huawei/Springboard International ROM and downloaded the dload folder to my SDCard, etc. I tried using the dload folder with the ulmt.cfg file in it and that failed with a "Installation aborted" message. I then removed that file and tried to go into CWM and tried "Install from zip" approach. Same thing...installation aborted message.
4) So, then I did the next stupid thing...in CWM, I formatted my /system, /data, and /cache. That was a big mistake! I now have officially bricked by tab.
5) I tried to get rid of CWM recovery by extracting the recovery.img file from the stock rom zip file. I fastboot flashed that to the recovery and recovery2 partitions. I then thought, let me try extracting the update.zip from the stock rom zip and put that on the root of my sdcard and tried to install that. No go...it just says, update failed with a big red "FAIL" message in the center.
6) I then tried to install CM10, to see if that would work. I downloaded the TWRP recovery and also the CM10 ROM .zip file, along with the google apps zip. I flashed the TWRP recovery using fastboot. That worked fine. I was also able to install the CM10 Rom, or at least it reported back "Successful". Same with the google apps zip. But then when I reboot, it only gets to the T-mobile Splash screen and stays there forever.
Please help! I tried to install the Stock Rom using the TWRP recovery, but again, it reports "Installation aborted." So, what am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this?
Thanks.
[UPDATE] -
Okay, so I actually tried installing CM10 again using the TWRP recovery since it said that it was "Successful." And sure enough, it was successful, it seems. Once I installed it, rebooted the tablet and waited on the T-mobile Springboard screen for about 10 minutes, it launched CyanogenMod. I then set up the tablet with CM10. I had received the unlock code from T-mobile and so my tablet was sim unlocked. I put a AT&T sim card and sure enough it got signal and I was able to surf the web and make phone calls. I downloaded the speed test app from the Play Store and noticed that I was getting about 1.5Mbps download and about 600kbps upload. Not bad. The problem I noticed is that I can't receive calls. I can call out, but when someone tries to call me, the tablet doesn't acknowledge an incoming call. The caller just goes straight to voicemail. I do get a voicemail alert.
So, I don't know whether that is an issue with the CM10 build or a problem in my network / APN settings.
I would like to get the rooted T-mobile International stock ROM on there so that I can try it with that. I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks!
9 times out of 10, I get installation aborted errors because of a botched download. Try downloading the file again, and if available, verify that the MD5 sum of your downloaded file matches the one provided by the developer.
And if I'm not mistaken, TWRP recovery and CWM recovery aren't capable of flashing the T-Mobile stock recovery. If you have TWRP working properly, I would continue trying to flash one of the unlocked ROMs available. I highly recommend HWMOD's ICS (available here)
Best bet would be to fastboot flash the recovery img from the hauwei site update.zip. Then do the standard pop the stock hauwei update.zip on the sd card and do the normal upgrade method. That should full wipe the phone and then you can start tinkering with it again. Also huawei posted the offical root on their site.

I don't want to mix up the T-mobile images with the Huawei images. Even though I've screwed things up already. But, if you read my previous post, I've got CM10 working, but no incoming calls.
Some time ago i tried to install cwm via Odin in my phone and when i rebooted it came out a black screen. I flashed a stock rom and solve the problem. But when i tried to install cwm using the stock recovery mod and going to "apply update from /sdcard" the message "E: Unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" came out. I looked up and saw it may be caused by a corrupted/outdated version on cwm. I tried to solve it installing a newer version of cwm via Odin, tried to delete the cwm folder using apps and commands, tried to downgrade my firmware but nothing worked.
Someone please help me.
Just use the most recent version of PhilZ recovery. Also, I think you can safely ignore this error, because CWM mounts storage in another folder.
still need help =/
Didn't work. i dont know why but i cant delete this thing and cant upgrade it. have any other ideas?
You need to install PhilZ CWM through Odin, I think it don't work using stock recovery. If you can't do it, try to reflash stock rom and then you install CWM using Odin, again.
