Did you follow globatron's guide for Honeycomb and s-off?
If so, why didn't you just flash the ROM zip file in recovery?
Edit: Okay, I see, did you flash the ROM zip first, then fastboot flash the boot image?

If you get into problems with ROMs/flashing, it is essential to include your hboot version in the information you give. Without this nobody can tell you how to proceed.
yh i dont know how to get a recovery image . im not rooted and on 4.0 leaked
You must unlock your bootloader to flash a IMG recovery
Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504824

1. Htc unlock
2. Adb reboot bootloader
3. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Double check to make sure you are unlocked.
thank to everyone
After reading the comments from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614304, I decide to root my phone today.
I followed the tutorial on HTC dev to unlock hboot1.2, then downloaded HTC supertool v3, did prep and root, and it appeared the rooting was successful. I installed [Root Checker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en) and it confirms that my phone is rooted. Then I went ahead installing ROMManager, from it, installed Clockwork Recovery, granted superuser permission, put CM7.1 ROM on the sdcard, reboot into recovery, met red triangle with exclamation mark, held power+vol_up, get the system recovery <3e> menu, tried to apply sdcard:update.zip (which is the recovery image for Clockwork recovery), but it complained "failed to verify whole-file signature"...
Have been stuck for a few hours, after much googling and retrying, not much luck...I wonder if the phone is rooted after all? Someone here suggested HTC supertool (which I used) but I didn't see Legend being one of the supported models. Also, all the rooting tools download links I found aren't valid any more.
Help is much appreciated.
EDIT: I think the rooting is successful. I installed a few root only apps from the Play store and they all worked.
Hi,
I faced the same sort of problem when I rooted and wanted to install CWM. My solution was to manually flash the recovery img file using adb. I'm on my phone now so its hard for me to get the link but if you search for the HTC Legend Cyanogenmod Wiki page there are instructions on how to do this

If you've used htcdev to unlock you CANNOT use update zip, to go into clockworkmod recovery, You have to use the s-off method. This has been covered many times now esspecialy in the hboot 1.02 thread.
Just as a point of note, you can't flash recovery from the clockwork mod app, you have to do it manually via s-off method.

just put cwm recovery img in the same andriod folder that u use to unlock bootloader via fastboot and use fastboot to push recovery img and after that use cwm to install superuser zip from sd card, install titatium backup, it will say u are not rooted don't worry press 'problem' i TB and it will install busybox for u . that's it .Now u are rooted with cwm u can flash anything u want. Hope this hekps.
here's the link/instruction for the clockworkmod image to flash - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290841
as it was already said, use the s-off method

No, actually you don't just push recovery.img file you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img too other wise you can't boot into custom recovery.
please check the official clockword mod recovery thread for the compleat, correct method and command line string.

So I used fastboot to push cwm recovery and everything worked. I had the impression that i need s-off before doing that but it was fine with s-on. I flashed cm7.1 and now i'm typing this reply on my "brand new" legend. It gave the old phone so much life!
Thanks everyone for helping

What it sounds like you are doing is pushing the update.zip to the SD card, this ONLY works with locked s-on bootloader what the op is talking about is hboot 1.02 s-on with unlocked bootloader, this is basically s-off function, bootloader will not load the update.zip file.

I have read all the instructions... Got root access also, installed clockworkMod recovery via the manual installation (s-off) method.. It is installed i can navigate through the clockworkMod recovery menu. However, pressing the power button to select a option brings me to a next page... No options, first i thought it was doing its job (wipe cach) however after a few moments i pushed the power button and i was in the main menu again. Also the reboot option or power off option it brings me to a triangle with mark and nothing...
Can anyone help me with this one?

It was very late yesterday and from pure frustration I pressed all the buttons available. And so also the trackpad...
I was to tired to try installing a custom ROM. will try tonight.
Thanks..
I use the HTC offical method to update hboot to 1.02 and unlocked.
And now my device only get temp root. I want to flash cwm to install rom.
But when I flash zip with original recovery,it says "failed to verify whole-file signature"(I use the cwm original file)
Also,how to S-OFF my Legend? Please help me! Thanks
There is no need to S-OFF as an unlocked boot loader is pretty much the same thing. In regards to CWM, look for the thread in the Dev section with the recoveries and follow the S-OFF method to apply CWM.

Thank you! I flashed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 and it works fine!
when i tried to flash the gapps for my new installed rom my HTC legend is in a boot loop.
i have:
htc legend, hboot 1.01, s-on
for some reason my recovery menu isnt working, only when i start it from the CWM app.
cause my hboot isnt unlocked i cant flash a recovery with ADB, i get this error: (remote: signature verify fail)
how can i install a recovery menu? or get my bootloader unlocked. or reset my phone to full defaults.
Well. This is the droid DNA forums, Mayne you should post this in the correct forum for your device.
