I am sorry, I know this has been asked a multitude of times on the forums, and I have gone through probably all of them. Is it possible to flash a perminant Clockwork recovery image to the Aria? Is there a way to unlock HBOOT or turn the S-ON to S-OFF?
I am new to Android, but not to Linux, but if I am doing something wrong, please point me in the right direction.
I originally rooted my phone though the update.zip switch method.
Here is what I tried:
Unrevoked: Hangs at "Waiting for root" rebooting does not help.
The old update.zip adb method: This method works to get me into Clockwork to install custom roms, however it is not persistant, when I reset it goes right back to the stock recovery.
Rom Manager: No matter which version I select, it always says it sucessfully installed Clockwork, but when you try to reboot to the recovery console, nothing. Try Alternate Recovery is greyed out, even though I have AmonRa on the SD card
Fastboot: I assume because security is on, it is not allowing me to use the "fastboot flash recovery" command as it gives me a "failed signature" error
Terminal/Shell: Tried it from the adb shell, and the terminal emulator on the phone itself. I have pushed the recovery images I want to the sdcard but when I try to execute the flash_image command I get an "out of memory" or "no space left on device" error
Firerat's install script: I have executed this script and keep getting the error that says it "cn't move /system/bin/buggerd directory not empty" error
I have tried remounting /system rw, doesn't help in ANY of the cases.
I have tried every method I can think of, other than doing an unroot/stock rom recovery and starting from the top, but I was hoping to avoid that if at all possible.
Are there any sort of firmware updates to change my hardware versions? here is what I have (stock Aria stuff)
LIBERTY PVP SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.57.0000
MICROP-031b
TOUCH PANEL-STN21_03

My Atrix 4G is rooted and I have Clockwork Recovery installed. Whenever I try to flash to a different ROM using ROM Manager, it tells me that the signature verification failed and aborts the Installation.
Thoughts?
install a recovery from here:

Doesn't seem to work for me.
So far I have tried:
cm_olympus_full-20.zip
Ba2tF.zip
CWM-recovery-red-atrix5.zip (suggested by the previous poster)
Every time it says
"E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
After looking at the screenshots on the ROM Manager website I noticed that the Recovery Screen looks different from mine. At the top it should say "ClockworkMod Recovery [version]". However, mine just says "Android Recovery". I dont understand why it says that even though ROM Manager says ClockworkMod Recovery has been flashed.

flash using fastboot from your PC, in that link I posted there are the img files and instructions on how to do it, use the img files not the zip version, which are the one you flash when you already have the custom CWM, just to change the text colors

You say you are rooted, but is your bootloader unlocked?

That's what I realized only last night - the bootloader still seems to be locked and I didn't realize I needed both. In fact I didn't realize at first there was a difference - now I know better. There was a guide here on the forums somewhere how to unlock the bootloader via PC, I'll use that to get going.
Unfortunately the link for RSD Lite 5.5 is broken and googling it turns up with the same broken links so far.
EDIT: Actually I just found and downloaded RSD 5.6
try these two link u should be fine

I' actually following this guide
SUCCESS!
The last part doesn't seem to work however,
5. type "fastboot devices" Press Enter.
5b. type "fastboot erase recovery" Press Enter.
5c. type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img" Press Enter.
I typed fastboot devices and then it just says waiting for device
Also, when trying to flash a new ROM (using CWM), it STILL says signature verification failed, even though at the top left it says "Unlocked".
Well, I've gotten this far, I'm sure I'll figure out the rest. For now I'm stuck in the boot animation screen (CyanogenMod 7), just keeps showing the animation of the skating Android with the circle around it.
EDIT: Succesfully using CM7!
FINAL EDIT: My problem has been solved. I kept trying the RUU.exe method over and over until it finally worked (more info in my last reply).
EDIT: My only issue now is that I cannot select "Mount data" in the Mount menu within TWRP recovery. Also, even when I have "mount system" and "mount cache" selected, I get an "Unable to mount system" or "Unable to mount cache" when I try to factory reset, wipe cache, install a ROM, or sideload ADB a ROM
Hello everyone. After recently purchasing an HTC DNA, I used the "HTC Droid DNA AIO Kit" to unlock the bootloader (HTCDev + unlock code), root the phone, and load TWRP recovery. From the recovery menu, I flashed the Viper custom ROM. I noticed some wifi problems, so I wanted to go back to stock to see if the problem (couldn't connect to wifi) was still there. The dumbass that I am used the "Wipe System" ("This will wipe your ROM") option within the recovery hoping it would boot back into stock. Obviously that didn't work (and has started me down a horrible path to bricking). I tried re-flashing the viper ROM, and half way through the setup it would reboot and stick on a white "HTC" screen. Every time. I googled and tried the RUU.exe method and got 155 error "Wrong RUU version" or whatever. I tried flashing the RUU.zip stock ROM using the All-in-one kit. No luck (error in command prompt saying "too many links"). I don't know what to do I just need to get back to Stock ROM, or anything similar that can help fix my situation. I appreciate all of your technical expertise and any help you give! I can provide more information about my phone and setup and version and such. I realize many of you will cringe at my methods, and I apologize for all of my stupid errors.

did you do flash boot.img image file before the rom? if not, flashing that then reloading your desired rom might get you back.
if you can still get to recovery you can use the sideload option and try flashing a rom that doesn't use the aroma installer.. there are a couple stock roms in the development section.
I flashed a boot.img using flash gui from playstore. Ended up disabling my WiFi. I can only use LTE now . I'm on stock right now. Any ideas?

In order to run the RUU you must be locked. Relock and give it a try.

If the kernel you flashed also came with it's modules.zip then you have to also install the modules .zip file from recovery. If the kernel came with the rom then the modules are probably already installed with the rom.
To flash the kernal manually (which is more reliable) use the following command:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
make sure the boot.img is located in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file.
If you're on Windows 7 you can hold the SHIFT key and right click while in the folder containing fastboot.exe and select "Open command prompt here" to make sure you are in the right folder in the command window. Not sure which other versions of Windows lets you use that shortcut.
DSB is also correct that you have to lock the bootloader if you want to use RUU.
I think the bootloader lock command is (must be at bootloader):
fastboot.exe oem lock

Thank you for the reply. I used the HTC Droid DNA All-in-one program to flash a stock boot.img file BEFORE flashing the ROM. No luck. I have since been able to adb push a stock ROM, but when I try to wipe the cache or install the ROM.zip file using the recovery (TWRP) I get a "Unable to mount /data". When I go into Mount settings within the recovery, I am unable to select "Mount data". I can only check "Mount system" and "Mount cache". Any ideas?
Also, I did relock the bootloader (It says "***Tampered*** ***Relocked***) using the same All-in-one tool. I have also tried flashing Clockwork recovery, but I get stuck on the "HTC This is only for development purposes legal blah" white screen, so I have reflashed TWRP. I ran both the RUU.exe (relocked bootloader), and tried flashing the RUU.zip method. Thoughts?
I will try doing all of my previous methods manually (through command prompt, without the All-in-one tool) when I get home (as you said, it is more reliable).
Thank you so much for the help you guys!

If you are flashing stock RUU -the bootloader has to be relocked for it to work....
In general each rom other than that usually has it's own boot image which has to be loaded first before the rom is. Usually downloadable from where the rom is. The one click varieties have not worked so well for me. so I agree with using the adb command version-more involved but reliable...

I tried the ADB sideload option within recovery, but I get a message saynig "Unable to mount '/data'". I also get this message after trying to install a ROM through recovery. When I try to select "Mount data" in the Mount menu of the TWRP recovery, I am unable to check the box. I can only check "Mount system" and "Mount cache". This is the only hangup right now. I have the bootloader unlocked, and I have flashed the boot.img (the stock version), but I cannot install or ADB sideload any ROMs because of the "Unable to mount '/data'" message Any ideas?
Why not just fasbtboot the boot.img then boot into recovery and adb push romname.zip and then flash the zip?
Sorry...read your post backwards.
Dude...just relock and ruu
Btw...anyone have a ruu in zip format?
Like a PH98IMG.zip as an example..that file name correlates with the rezound nut ya know what I mean??

I have relocked the bootloader, then tried the RUU exe method (followed all steps) and I get a "Error 155" message. What can I do to fix that?
I have even flashed ClockworkMod recovery and tried to mount the /data, but I get the same "Unable to mount /data" message
Someone else might know this more than me.. but is it possible to format partitions from fastboot? Maybe you could format data from there then try some of your other steps..

Yeah, it definitely sounds like I need to do some reorganizing/reformatting/file therapy. The only question I have is HOW :/
I appreciate your replies and your help Hopefully I can get this figured out. Is there some chat/irc channel or some other way to reach out for help? I want to exhaust all options.

I think maybe it might be worth going back to re read how to return to stock posts carefully-link below. You should first have the phone locked again, the RUU is executable from your pc. You won't be using a recovery program and therefore shouldn't be doing any part from their menu to get it done. Everything your phone needs should get loaded up if correctly done.

All you have to do is extract the RUU contents and put them in a folder called whatever.zip(THIS IS NOT THE NAME OF THE FOLDER) and bam you got a .zip

I HAVE relocked my phone, AND used the RUU.exe method. I get an "Error [155]" message.
I wonder if this has to do with anything, though. I have the HTC drivers installed, my phone is unlocked and in the fastboot usb bootloader screen. I am using the HTC Droid DNA All-in-one kit to relock the phone. When I do so, I get this message:
Code:
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) mipi display off
(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 1
(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 38
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642044 (0x1FDDFD7C)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 1.267s
D:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\Droid_DNA_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1\Droid_DNA_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1\data>
Then my phone reboots and says:
Code:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
If I were to reboot into bootloader again, the "Security Warning" goes away. Could that have anything to do with it?
Otherwise, even after relocking and following all steps, when I try the RUU.exe method, I get to "Verifying information on android phone" -> "Update image version" -> "Checking" -> Waiting for bootloader" -> "Sending" -> "Updating Signature" -> "Error [155]"
Could it be a CID thing? If my phone is the wrong CID might the RUU.exe not work? Maybe if I change the CID to a generic one?
SUCCESS!!! I kept trying the RUU.exe method over and over and over. Finally I redownloaded the same exact file. I entered Windows Task Manager and closed any program I suspected of interfering (Command prompts, driver software, All-in-one tool, etc.). I unplugged my phone from USB, booted into bootloader (fastboot), then connected the USB cable again. I ran the RUU.exe as an Administrator. The "Previous Version" or whatever was empty, with "New Version" as the 1.15.605.4 version. It went through all of the usual steps (Bootloader -> Wiping -> Sending -> Signature stuff) then (where it would usually give me the "Error [155]", it kept going. I was actually researching warranty Acts and packaging my cables and etc. back into the box to go plead a BS "Phone died during update" case to Verizon So excited right now. Thank you guys so much for all of your help, and I hope this thread can help other users in a situation similar to mine. As long as you can get into bootloader and recovery YOUR PHONE IS OKAY. Just keep at it
Glad to hear it!!

I unlocked my phone successfully using unlocked tool. Afterwards, when i did 'oem lock' in fastboot, it got locked and 'oem unlock' doesnt work. The app failed to unlock either. So i cant flash any unsigned image anymore.

Now I installed different versions of stock rom downloaded from asus website, via recovery and flash tool, but i still dont get volte.
