[Q] Can't install a rom - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted the phone and every time I go to install aokp or another rom to see if it works, I always get e: signature verification failure. I have read post and followed tutorials from this forum with no luck. I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426%20. The rogers file fails but the at&t one will install. It still fails when I try to put an os on the phone. It was not backed up so I can't even get it back to a point where I can use it right now. Its been 4 hours now and any suggestion on how to fix this would greatly be appreciated. Samsung S3 with Rogers.

[Q] Unable to install any ROMs . . .

I've searched and scoured the earth for an answer to this issue but have drawn a blank so far, so thought I'd ask the experts.
Basically I'm not able to install any ROMs on my GT-P7510UW 32 Retail Wireless tablet.
I'm able to get CWM on, I'm able to Root it, but when I try installing a ROM I get a variety of different issues. For example trying to install the Bonsai ROM I get the following :
assert failed: run_program("/tmp/install-script") == 0
E:Error in /sdcard/Bonsai_GT-P7510_v0.3.0.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
On the StarBurst ROM it just seems to install REALLY quickly, then when I reboot I'm stuck on the Samsung startup screen forever (the very first one reading "Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1" before you get to Download/Recovery
I've used Odin to get back to Stock, still can't install ROMs.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Try task's rom. I run that with pershoots kernel and its perfect. It does take a long time to boot the first time you boot after you flash. Also, after you flash the rom, stay in CWM and format the cache and everything. Then give it some time on the first boot
Hm. How long should it take to actually install the ROM within CWM? It only takes about 10 seconds, if that. Then it says its finished, and I manually initiate a reboot.
I've left it on the loading screen for about 30 minutes and nothing happens after that, so I get the feeling the ROM install just isn't working...
But I'll try Tasks ROM and see how that goes
Same Issues
Is anyone else running into the same problem? I'm getting the exact same issues here.
It is highly recommend not to install 3rd party ROMs. None of the ROMs created by the hobbyists here are as stable and reliable as the stock ROM.
It is highly recommend not to listen to 3rd party posts. None of the posts created by the hoboist here are the mark of a stable and reliable mind

I'm still getting this issue, and it would seem that nobody has an answer?
I've tried about 5 different ROMS, all fail. So it's not a ROM problem.
I've followed all the instructions to the letter, I've read various guides and confirmed I'm doing it right. So is there something different about my Tab that it seems to be screwed and won't allow any ROM installs??
I've also restored to Stock, used a .pit file so re-partioned also. Cleared every sort of data/cache you can mention.

[Q] Big problem, need help bad. ; ;

I have a SGS2 GT-9100M (Bell canada) Used on Telus.
I used the root guide from here http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...lock-root-bell-galaxy-s2-step-step-guide.html step by step.
I then installed both titanium premium and rom manager premium. I tried to back up using rom manager but it gave me the "Failed to verify whole-file signature" error.
For whatever reason, I forgot about the backup and proceeded to attempt to load the 115 daily CM7 build from CWM and got the same error i got when attempting backup. Now this is where I should have stopped.....BUT I then decided to load 115 through the recovery menu, so I had to get the .zip onto the phone by dropping debug mode which worked fine but got me into a boot loop and I didn't reinitialize debug mode
After reading around it said to flash twice and this should fix it. I flashed it over 9000 times (4), but to my dismay it was still stuck in loop.
So I found this Video on the boot loop sticky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVwiiSStuSQ and attempted to flash the Stock rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
But it hangs about 1/3 of the way through. I unplug it and it says "encountered an error during firmware update, please connect to kies and use the emergency recovery" or something like that. Well ok so that did nothing either, kies cannot help me unless the firmware update failed IN kies.
I'm not an expert at this stuff but I'm also not brand new and know I could have done something stupid here without realizing it.
I CAN get to download mode and flash the stock kernel and the CF kernel to get back CWM recovery mode in blue but the stock bell rom will NOT complete. IF anyone has any clue that will help me figure this out I will be beyond thankful.
ps: I also tried flashing the stable CM7 release but this did not help.
The worst part about this is that I have to use my milestone again. ~_~
Have you tried one of intratechs Frankenstein Roms, it may help.
Any idea where I can find the appropriate one?

Help with Original T-Mobile Comet/ Huawei U8150 ROM

First I would like to say I have gone through a lot of postings looking for an answer to my question so I have looked for my own answers. I also went through many sites outside of this one and haven't found a answer yet. I flashed UltraJack-Recovery v4.6.2 and then installed LeanFUSION V2 and this all went fine. I then decided to restore the original rom and discovered it was corrupted. After two days I finally found a download site that wasn't just a dead link and got the STOCK_ROM_USA_TMO which is 98.6mb. When I tried to install this rom I get " E:No signature (6 files) E:Verification failed Installation aborted." I actually get this type of message with most of the roms I tried. The amount of signatures missing varies but same sort of thing. Anyone who could provide me with a confirmed working factory rom or help with getting the one I have working would be really appreciated. Thanks for any help folks!!
Okay I decided to try installing Clockworkmod Recovery to my u8150 to see if I could get back to the original rom. The Google Apps version doesn't support the Ideos and I am having trouble figuring out how to install the 5.0.2.8 Clockworkmod Recovery by fastboot. I hate to ask for hand holding but I can't seem to figure this out. I really would like to have a bit more variety in roms I can install or returning to the factory rom but the UltraJack Recovery won't get past the unsigned or non verified sections of the roms I want to install. There has got to be someone out there who can help with this stuff. Thanks for any help.....

Problem with ROMS

I can't find this in any of the other posts. If someone knows where it is please let me know. Anyway my problem is that I rooted my ATT with 3way tool had no problems, then did the CWM part no problem. I then downloaded 3 different roms and put on my external SD card and then booted into recovery followed the directions listed for each rom but when I went to install got fail and then showed aborted . At this point I rebooted and had to re-root and install CWM each time. All three roms failed and aborted. Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong everything I'm doing is lokiyed I'm very frustrated at this point because I don't see anyone else with this problem. Please help I love to try different roms. Thanks in advance.:mad
You are in the Verizon forums. You might want to look into the AT&T section.

[Q] Bricked Showcse, please help

Let me just start out by saying I'm a nube with limited skills. I have a Samsung Showcase SCH-S950C for Straightalk. I was sitting around on saturday and decided I would figure out how to root my phone because I had nothing better to do. I followed the instructions in a forum on this site and was able to root with no issues. After that I of course then decided to try my hand in flashing a custom rom to the phone (cyanogenmod) and this is where i went wrong. After flashing the rom I booted the phone and now the rom won't load and is stuck saying, "Unfortunately, setup wizard had stopped" and "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." The only menu I can get into is the sound menue via the volume key.
The next step I took was to reboot the phone back into CWM to see what I could do. Upon loading I was faced with the below errors.
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Tried wiping the cache, factory reset and wiping dalvik and am unable to do so. It won't mount the cache, data or datadata. I then tried to put it back to stock via instructions for flashing a recovery mod for the phone and that did not take because I cant wipe it. From what I read i need to repartition the phone to fix this issue but I do not know how and honestly not even sure exactly what that means. As I said to start Im a nube. I also noticed in USB mode it says i now have 4 custom binarys on the phone and Im sure that is not helping things.
This is the point I stopped so as not to completely FUBAR the phone, if I have not already done so. If anyone can point me in the write direction on how to proceed I would greatly appreciate the help.
Look for odin and some related rom of your phone. Flash again. Normally problem would be fixed.

Probably non-useful information
I know nothing about the Showcase, so please accept this information for instructional purposes only.
I had zero experience with anything Android related until September. I successfully used old flip style or otherwise non-smart phones, so never had any experience with any version of Android (or any iOS either for that matter). My brother-in-law had given my parents a Fascinate that he replaced with a Note. It sat around their house until I picked it up and decided to see what I could do with it. I found this guide to be exceptionally helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
Whereas I don't know if any of this information is relevant to your Showcase, the operational theory may relate. The phone that I was given was already rooted so I used the instructions in the guide to use Odin to return the phone to stock, then update to a Jellybean ROM. I learned a great deal working through the process a couple times, and have since been given a first gen Kindle Fire, an LG Ally, and a Droid Charge that I had enough confidence to work with, and successfully rooted and flashed each.
