Hi all, I tried rooting my MT4G with the gfree method, after I rebooted i saw that S=off so i went into HBoot and Rebooted, The screen goes berserk and ends up on Android Recovery, I figured I'd just apply the stock recovery, PD15IMG.zip i renamed it to update.zip but I get, E: signature verification failed Installation Aborted. :/ i tried a few files. Also can't open / cache/ recovery.
Update*
Figured out how to fix it incase anyone was having the same problem, you need a fake flash recovery image, however i cannot seem to find a download for it since Clockword Mod Recovery is now on the market, please if anyone know where I can download ClockWork Mod Recover as a zip file still post.
Got that same problem.
But when I'm trying this, it doesn't install successfully and says: "Signature verification failed, installation aborted."
Hey if your still on this, I just fixed it today!! Download PD15IMG.zip, put it on SD card - hold power and down then hit HBoot, let it run and BOOM! your done.

Are you trying to install bionix or already have it installed. Basically something is wrong with the update.zip on your sd-card.
In case you tried to rename something you downloaded from here to update.zip, do not do this. The update.zip that is created by Rom manager (or obtainted by a few less common methods) should be left alone. This is what the stock recovery loads in order for you to access the ClockworkMod Recovery. You must flash roms like bionix inside ClockworkMod Recovery by chosing to "install zip from sdcard" then navigating to the file.
Hope that helps.
Yeah, I have the update.zip file on my SDcard that has not been touched, and the ROM is on the bottom of update.zip. I'm trying to pass 'reinstall packages' in order to go into recovery mode.

I'm not sure what "on the bottom of update.zip" means. However to fix the issue of getting into recovery, simply load your existing rom and download (if you haven't already) Rom Manager from the market (the free version is fine). Then chose to install Clockworkmod recovery. Then go back into recovery and reinstall packages again (sometimes you have to reinstall packages twice before it works).
After speaking to a few people, they told me a solution to the signature problem. I downgraded from 3e to 2e and now it kind of works. Instead of getting the errors now, my phone simply reboots back in Recovery Mode instead of going into CWD(?) Mode.
Download rom manager and flash cw recovery again like the guy above said
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Fascinate. If anyone is up for a challenge and could read the small novel I wrote below I would greatly appreciate it.
I was able to successfully root my Fascinate last week however I got into trouble when I decided I wanted to install a custom rom. I read that the rom required Voodoo which I didn't/still don't know much about. I went to Project Voodoo and downloaded PV 5.5 and flashed it via Odin thinking that this was all I needed to do before installing the custom rom.
Now I'm stuck in Recovery Mode, I've followed several tutorials and tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery via update.zip but every time I run update.zip the install fails and I get the Green Android guy with the ! point. Recovery says Errior in /sdcard/update.zip (status 2) installation aborted.
Re-downloading the file update.zip doesn't change anything.
Also, if I try to wipe data/factory reset I get the following error:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (No such file or directory)
E: install_application_for_customer: Can't mount HIDDENSCARD: Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
I tried following some of the tutorials to remove VooDoo such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784 as I think this is why I've gotten into trouble, but I can't install CWM and I've had no luck with ADB and accessing the areas required to replace files on my phone while in recovery mode.
I can't run the Vodoo Uninstaller as I'm stuck in Recovery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the fiance isn't liking the current state of her phone.

I think this is what you need.
Thanks DoobiHowserMD for the quick reply. I followed the tut, everything seemed to go well in Odin but now when I turn the phone on it says this:
--Wiping data:...
Formatting FOTA: ....
FOTA wipe failed.
and then it continues to reboot and loop.

Which 2 files did you use?
Just found a solution! Used the "Full DI01 ODIN Package" found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648
Thanks guys for your help, seems like a great community.
hey guys, i have tried the fix
"ok android recovery fixed for mr coleburns thanks!
Steps to fix the recovery if you try to enter recovery and get the green android guy instead of cwm.
1. root your phone
2. use root explorer to delete /etc/Install_recovery.sh
3. reflash your unlock sbf file and restart the steps from that portion of the guide"
for my bell atrix but still get the little green guy with triangle instead of cwm when i boot into recovery. when i look at the date of the /etc/Install_recovery.sh file its todays date so i believe it was recreated. one thing i did notice is when i ran IHOP_bell.sbf it says that phone is already unlocked.
thanks a million
same here, cant get the CMR working thou
dont know where i do wrong
i finally got the cwm recovery after wiping data. not sure if that did it then i installed cwm recovery again. now when i try to install ORFR234-system.img i get error install aborted.
what am i doing wrong?
this is the error i get when trying to load the rom from sd card:
--installing /sd/ORFR234-system.zip
finding update package....
opening update package...
installing update....
installation aborted.
please help.
No matter which type of ROM i try to install, i keep getting this same error message. Mt Atrix is rooted with Superuser and ROM Manager Premium, the steps that ive taken are:
1. Downloaded Alien, CM7, Homebase4
2. ROM Manger, boot from SD, checked all boxes, phone reboots into CWR
3. Pressed up/down volume buttons to boot from SD
4. Booting from SD - Failed - E:signature verification failed
Any suggestions?
Im pretty new that this and for some reason the screen only works in landscape mode, the other way it would be staticy
have u try to copy downloaded ROM to Internal Storage? then reboot to CWM and install zip from sdcard>choose directory..
Yes ive tried both ways SD and Internal storage
should be an option to toggle signature verification just after install zip from sd.some recovery doesnt have it if thats the case use rom manager to install latest
Theres actually nones, theres three options: backup, wipe data, and wipe dalvik
heres a dumb question.
have you unlocked your bootloader yet and flashed recovery?
Yes, ive unlocked bootloader and reflashed recovery also, but every time i try to install a rom it says:
Install/sdcard
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I'm getting the same Verification Failed - How do I fix this?

Boot from sd? Maybe i dont understand what you are trying to say but i have never used a "boot from sd" to install a ROM. Do you simply mean "install zip from sd"? Because I can relate to that. But not boot from sd, never heard of that function.
I flash clockworkmod recovery and then choose Atrix. When I try to boot into Clockworkmod recovery, I get an error message "Failed to boot 2" and don't receive the boot menu.
When manually entering into recovery is when I receive the verification error.
Regarding the "Install from sdcard", it is an option in Clockworkmod.
I am rooted, copied beta.zip to the SD card, and installed ran Clockworkmod.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or why I'm getting the failed to boot 2 error?

Hi everybody,
I've got an error when trying to flash my legend, or even enter to the recovery.
Here you got my specifications, in order to give you an idea:
S-off
HBOOT-1.00.0000
RADIO 7.13.35.05
I have an OTA 2.2 update, from Vodafone
I've rooted the device with "unlock root" some weeks ago.
ROM MAnager 5.0.0.6 with successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery: 5.0.2.0
The problems:
When I try to boot into recovery (for example, when in ROM MAnager I try to backup my ROM, or install a ROM from SD card), I get this message:
" E:can't open cache/recovery/command "
Then appear 4 options (blue colour): reboot / apply sdcard: update.zip / wipe data factory reset / wipe cachee partition. The 2 wipes work OK, the reboot also, but when I select "apply sdcard: update.zip" I get next message:
" Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted. "
When I try to open bootloader, I get this message (it appears but disappears 1 second later):
" SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image
SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image "
I get also an error message in ROM Manager when I do "Fixing Permissions". First I got a Superuser window "SuperManager has been granted Superuser permissions" but then a ROM MAnager window "An error occured while attemting to run privileged commans!".
I've tryed uninstalling and reinstalling ROM Manager, Factory reset, everything, except Wipe Dalvic (not sure about what it does).
I'm not sure what's not working. Is it the recovery or ClockworkMod ?? Is the HBOOT-1.00.0000 the problem ? Is a disfunction of the SD Card (i've not tryed another card...).
Not sure if it could be associated to the same problem but now when I plug the phone to the PC the phone don't ask me if I want only charging mode or USB drive, even if I fix the behaviour (ask always or USB drive default). Not sure if it's related or not.
So, I'm a bit lost. Anyone has any idea ??
Hi, I only having s-on, I can't flash custom recovery, so have never seen how it really works, but what your describing is your stock recovery hasn't hasn't been replaced with custom recovery (clockwork mod recovery) and is still looking for update.zip in the root folder of your SD card.
Maybe look for an update.zip in the xda forums and put it in the root folder and see if that helps.

Hi escombralls,
i think, you are the first who used the "unlock root"-tool wihtout boot-problems after that.
Maybe, this tool nevertheless did not work correct. All other legend users had no success with this tool.
You should use a guide from this forum for rooting ...
if you are in the system recovery and the top part say...
Android system recovery <3e>
you cant use the fake flash...
you can find guides where everyone uses with no problem to properly root your legend from the forum.
than you'll notice after the process (downgrade to 2.1 step) when you go to recovery you'll notice the top part of this bunch of blue words say...
Android system recovery <2e>
than you can use the fake flash...
head here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
for the fake flash and follow Blay0's simple rename copy instrutions...
with this fake flash (CWM) you can start flashing other rom and also partition your card (remember to backup important stuff before you do anything)...
good luck
OK, thanks for your inputs.
First of all I will try with another update.zip file.
If the problem persists, I will follow one of the guides for rooting...
I will keep you informed.
