I bricked my Droid 2. I boot into fastboot, by pressing "x" while turning the phone on. I then try to flash a new ROM and I get this error; "E:signature verification failure" I don't know what to do from here.
You are in stock recovery. You can't flash unsigned files from there. Unsigned means non-Motorola packages.
Simply reboot the phone and you will get out of stock recovery.
If phone can't boot, try wiping cache from stock recovery and eventually wipe data. If that doesn't help either, your next step is to flash SBF file. Refer to sticky here about what you need and how to perform it

I tried wiping the cache also and that didn't work either, if I try and reboot it just stays at the Motorola screen and freezes. What is this SBF sticky and where do I find it?

Hi this is my second thread here..
My nexus s is stucked on google logo screen, maybe it was coz by beiing battery drained one morning and i just saw it on nexus s splash screen loop, i removed battery and turned it on but still on google logo..so i boot to recovery mod and restore it with my nandroid back up, but hanged.
My phone was unlocked using superoneclick, and installed rom manager and flashed CWM 3.0.0.5..
I can still access my phones recovery and tried to flash every rom that i had on my sdcard but when it reboot still stocked in google logo
I tried to put stock ROM which i newly downloaded and copy to my sdcard via recovery mod (mount/unmount sdcard) but when i run it i got installation aborted. I tried to unzipped the stock rom and put the backup on my cwm folder again via recovery mod(mount/unmount sdcard) when i run it i got MD mismatch..i cannot modify my etc/recovery because my phone is not booting and i cant use the file explorer to that too.
I tried the ODIN rom both I9020/i9023 i got success (pass) status, but when it reboot it still stuck on google logo..
Im thinking that this is now a hardware problem, i tried every method but it does not solved the problem.. But im still having hope because i can stiil accesss my bootloader and i can flash CWM,i can access recovery mod i can mount sdcard etc.. (also my recovery keeps returning to stock recovery so i have to reflash all over again every boot (google logo))
Anything more i could do which can save my phon?
Did you wipe system data, wipe cache, advanced>wipe dalvik-cache before flashing any rom?
If that doesn't work, try ADB pushing the zip file to your SD card instead of using clockwork recovery mounting.

Yeah i wiped those..i also trie pushing zip files via adb but i still get "installation aborted" and MD mismatch...
I would redownload the file then. The download may have been corrupted, hence the md5 mismatch.

which brwoser should be used when downloading?actually i also done redownloading but i still get md mis-match.
Do you think i lost superuser permission, because my recovery always reflash to stock recovery..
MD mismatch means the file is corrupted through either the downloading process or transferring to SD process.
Try flashing a different rom?

How long do you actually wait at the Google logo? If you wipe cache it usually takes a bit longer to actually boot up.

Try this
Connect to your computer and lock your bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" via adb.
Once the bootloader is locked unlock it again using "fastboot oem unlock". This wipes out everything on on your phone(including SD card). Then WITHOUT REBOOTING follow the instructions in this thread to flash CWM and get root access through superuser.

Hey everyone, I need help for my Xoom 3G MZ601, I just rooted it and flashed EOS' rom and I'm stuck at bootanimation. I'm new to rooting and flashing custom roms for tablets, its different in phones.
When you say you are stuck, what have you tried to do? Have you tried to get back into your custom recovery? If you can, you could try to reflash your rom and gapps after wiping cache and dalvik cache. You would have your system wiped when you unlocked, but you could wipe again before reflashing...that might help.
Yes, I wiped everything, I did this 5 times and the same thing happens, stuck in bootanim.

1. Do you have a backup of your stock rom? if you have a backup and recovery works you should be able to recover your stock system and everything will be allright.
2. If you don't have a backup enter this site motodev site (i can't post any links) download correct firmware for your device and flash every part of downloaded rom via fastboot.
I hope it will help you
It seems like your recovery img is the culprit, try downloading eos with goomanager..
try; adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoveries/wingray/eos-recovery-r6-softkeys.img or http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoveries/wingray/eos-recovery-r6.img
adb reboot recovery
Hello A510 owners,
After playing with patching google store using lucky patcher, my tablet start to bootloop...I was on Piccolo Rom,so I just flashed the rom again (wiped everything that could be wiped), but didn't worked, still bootloop...So I said to myself, let's make a fresh and clean install and get back to stock. I've download a stock rom, put it on my external SD Card and flashed it in CWN. I got a warning like I won't have recovery anymore after flashing but accept anyway, and start to flash...Tablet reboot and this is what I get :
Code:
erasing cache before sd update
SD update cmd : recovery
--update_package=SDCARD : update.zip
booting recovery kernel image
[COLOR="Red"]Recovery verified failed[/COLOR]
Then, I tried many stock rom I could find on the internet, still same error. I even tried with removing first line of the updater-script, nothing work...and I can't use adb anymore to push cwn again.
Any idea ? I really need help here ! :crying:
I guess u might flash the stock n still kept the cwm, so u can't enter the cwm anymore 'coz the bootloader was locked back.
Maybe u can try to unlock first, or u can consider to rewrite the recovery partition.
Rename update.zip to something different, CMW may not accept "command line" flashing.
Anyway if you can boot CMW (rename update.zip first!)
a) wipe dalvik-cache (under Advanced) and try to boot
b)if this fails- wipe data/cache (factory reset)
THX guys, I don't know how but I just format everything and reinstall cwn+rom, and it worked... I just lose all my datas on sdcard:'(

My problems began when i was trying to flash a new rom on my Nexus 5
I was trying to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655722 but despite doing a factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache and cache it refused to boot in to the new rom
I tried to flash the rom multiple times but without success, eventually when trying to boot into recovery to try again i was greeted with an unthemed TWRP recovery asking for a password despite the fact that i had a custom theme and multirom installed I tried to proceed anyways but was greeted with E: unable to mount storage
In desperation i tried to solve this problem and found this

TWRP asking for password
After unboxing my Nexus 5, here's what I did:
1. Booted into bootloader
2. fastboot oem unlock
3. Flashed TWRP v2.6.3.0
4. Booted to recovery
The screen that greeted me says "Please Enter Your Password".
I can hit the cancel button below this which takes me to the normal TWRP screen. I then pushed SuperSU to /sdcard, but when I flash it it fails because it's unable to mount /cache or storage.
When I reboot to the system, it takes an awfully long time (approximately 30s) to progress past the "Google" screen, and then it just seems to sit on the booting animation forever.
Any help?
EDIT: Solved my own problem.
Hit cancel at the password screen, then go into Wipe and then do a factory reset by swiping. Then go back into Wipe and press the 'Format data' button. You have to type 'Yes', and it will take a few seconds. After that everything should work normally.

I now fear that i maybe without both a rom and all my files such as my music that was stored on my phone.
Is there any way for me to undo the damage i may have done to to my phone?
You can't recover the data. But you can push files over with ADB.

Hello,
I successfully installed cyanogenmod 7.2 on my Motorola Defy MB525 using the instructions from the cyanogenmod wiki "Install CM for jordan" (can't post link yet).
After a while, I wanted to install gapps, so I installed it from Bootmenu. After this, the phone was always booting to boot menu and I didn't know how to make it boot into the system, so I changed the "Boot" option default to something like "Normal", I think.
Now when starting the phone, all I see is the Google logo which stays there indefinitely.
I can still boot to BootMenu and tried a number of times to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and re-install the cyanogenmod7.2 zip, but it still can't get out of the infinite loop.
I found out that a posible solution would be to flash an image with RSD Lite, but it seems kind of tricky and I would rather leave it as a last resort.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I managed to unbrick my phone eventually.
Tried to use RSD Lite with several images, but it would give an error and then the application would crash and leave my bootloader corrupt. I tried all the schemes I could find including: loading the image from root of C:, disabling UAC, etc., but nothing worked.
Then I tried sbf_flash on Linux with the same image, and it worked like a charm, no errors, and my phone was up and running again.
So for anyone else who may encounter this problem, I warmly recommend using sbf_flash, it is incredibly simple to use.
