Happy new year to all,
Im trying to flash a k5 a6020A40. Bootloader is unlocked by default and i have also check in dev. options the "oem unlocker". For every rom im trying to flash in recovery, i get "installation aborted" cause of the known error "E: failed to mount /sdcard". im trying the "dirty" installation without system wipe 1st and basically im trying to flash the DotOS v2.4 oreo.
is there any solution for that issue? Keep in mind that the phone does not even has sd card.
Ty in advance.
Update TWRP, change storage to FAT32.

hi there!
i just flashed the official rom to my htc hero to get the latest radio.
T-Mobile DE
RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_DE_2.73.111.26_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
from here: showthread.php?t=559622
now im trying to flash the latest villian rom 12.
if i boot the phone via home-and-power into recovery mode i just get the orange/white warning triangle. if i hold home-and-power again i have three options: reboot the system, apply the update, and wipe data/factory reset. if i try to flash the rom i just get
e: cant't open /cache/recovery/command
-- install from sd card
...
e: no signature (785 files)
e: verification failed
installation aborted.
im trying to flash via the bootloader (back-and-power) and access the phone via fastboot my device will be recognized but i can load any recovery rom.
i entered:
"fastboot-windows boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img"
i also tried the latest recovery rom from here: showthread.php?t=561124... and others, that i found on different sites and threads.
this is the message i get:
"downloading boot.img ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
i also tried to flashing the recovery rom via flashrec.
these are the versions i used:
flashrec-1.1.2-20090909
flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2
flashrec-20090815
but i cant backup and therefore flash a recovery-rom.
so are all my hopes to flash a custom rom to my phone gone because i flashed the official update or is there any way to maybe downgrade again?
im new to the rom scene, any help would be much appreciated.
cheers.
For now you are essentially up the creek without a paddle.
I'm not aware of a way to reverse this issue
Goes to show you should never flash anything that comes from HTC...
http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=28 explains why this shouldn't be done. Not much help though
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a

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.
Hello, All.
It seems I'm pretty close to bricking this thing so I thought I would ask you guys for help.
I'm not that experienced with this kind of stuff, but I was able to unlock my bootloader, and installed a custom recovery TWRP, using the Droid_Incredible_4G_LTE_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1 from hasoon2000,
It won't let me install a rom to the device. Been having some trouble with ADB as well. Seems like it won't recognize the phone when it's on the bootloader menu, but it will when it's in recovery mode. So using ADB i pushed a rom file to the device while in recovery and was able to get it on the sd card, but when I try to load the rom using TWRP it gives me an error msg. I thought that I might have to get rid of the old OS first before loading a new one so now I don't have an OS at all.
I feel like I'm missing something here, like I skipped a step or something... do i need to flash the kernel, or relock the bootloader? Confused as to why I can't load up a rom.
Thanks in advance for any help. Much appreciated.

before flashing a rom you should go into the wipe menu of twrp and wipe everything. Then install the rom zip. What error are you getting when try to flash the rom?
Sorry for the late response. I guess I don't really check my email without a smartphone.
Ok so in TWRP I go into wipe, and do Cache - Successful! Davik Cache - Successful! System: Successful! Factory Reset - Failed (and in the list it says:
updating partition detail...
unable to mount '/sdcard' a buncha times.
Then if i try to install a rom from the sd card it says
Failed
Installing 'external_sd/rom.zip'...
checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
assert failed: write_raw_image('tmp/boot.img". "boot"
E:Error in /external_sd/rom.zip
)Status 7)
Error flashing zip 'external_sd/rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
I guess what makes no sense to me is that it can't mount the sd card. Does it need to be on the internal "sdcard" instead of the mini sd I have the file on? IDK so confused...
Thanks for you help.
