More info please
Before people can help you, you need to give more information.
What is the model for your phone and is it rooted?
If so, what ROM is it running and what custom recovery do you have?

Ok you can't "apply sdcard:update.zip" because even though you rooted your phone, you don't have a custom recovery. You have the stock recovery image that comes with your phone. This means that every zip you try to "apply" or flash will automatically be checked for a signature (to make sure its a valid update from the manufacturer). Since the ROMs usually don't have signatures, it won't work
Never mind about finding out the ROM. since you have a stock recovery, it looks like you haven't put any custom ROM on it. you are running the stock android OS that came with the phone.
It seems your OS got messed up when you tried to root the phone. The One Click root method you used I believe wasn't fully compatible with your phone. You should have used "Universal Root." Anyway, Give me a day or two. I will see If I can find you an official zip belonging to your manufacturer. THAT you can push back onto your phone and get your OS back and in working order.
Cheers!
P.S: Check if there is an option in recovery mode called "Toggle Signature verification" I doubt it but if there is it would DEFINITELY help you.

I'd recommend changing to CWM recovery via rom manager if you need to toggle verification. Rom manager from the market will flash a recovery for you also.

Same Problem with HTC Hero, after one click (z4root) root
Hi @ all,
i have the same problem with my hero, and every solution that i can find is using fastboot, but with Eclair i cant´s use it.
So please help.
Here is some dato of my hero:
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
Radio-6.35.15.11

1. If your USB debugging is enable then you can fix your problem.
2. official update.zip can fix your problem.
You can't do anything(but your mobile company can help you)
1. Your mobile company not release any update for your device
2. If USB Debugging is disable
I send my Micromax Mobile on 08 Feb, 2011 and Still no info on my device, Micromax = Poor Quality Support, Wastage of money.
@Micromax - Please close your company.... and move your company to your own country....

I tryed to fix it with every update.zip I found in web by
downloading the zip
rename to update.zip
format sd card
copy update.zip to sd card
start in recovery mode
try to start update
... and get a varification failed error
Has somebody a working update.zip, or can say where can I get it and if my steps are right?

1. If your update.zip is not official(signed) then you can't update your device.
Download this and rename this file to update.zip and retry.
Its a signed update.zip
http://www.filecrop.com/40683206/index.html (Link is valid for 30 minute)
If not work then just find your radio update in this list..
http://www.filecrop.com/update-Hero.html

Thank you very much, I will try it tonight.
Damn, now I get a
"failed to verify whole-file signature" error???
What´s wrong now?

Maybe I need a Certificate to put on my sdcard for the whole file?

EDIT: do you have the good version of xecovery xRecovery_0.3_GBready ? you should install it with flashtool
FIRST: make a backup, before to flash a custom rom
read carefully instructions in threads, you have to wipe delvik...stuffs like that

No worries ,
Just Download the latest version of flashtool i.e. 3.0.0
Enable USB Debugging on your phone
Enable Unkown Sources on your phone
Install X10 ADB USB drivers (included in the .zip)
In flashtool - Ask root perms and install xrecovery
Youre gold then

Ok spaarc and chriscx... M gonna try them.

ClockworkMod Recovery for Motorola Triumph

Just making a new thread that has download links for ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) that are readily apparent.
First to explain to anyone who does not know what ClockworkMod Recovery is:
quoting from this post:
What Is ClockworkMod Recovery And How To Use It On Android [Complete Guide]
ClockworkMod – also known as Clockwork and CWM – is a custom recovery for Android phones and tablets that allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery.
The download links are at the end of this post.
Installation Instructions:
*****************************************************
To install CWM, do the following. If you wish to UPGRADE an existing CWM recovery that you already have installed, you still follow the following steps or alternatively, you can try the steps at the end of the post in the UPGRADE CWM USING FLASHABLE ZIP IN RECOVERY section:
1. Download the CWM Recovery file using one of the links at the end of the post. I recommend one of the latest versions--currently version 5.5.0.4. Unzip the recovery.img file from the Zip file you downloaded (using WinZip, 7-Zip, or another zip utility) onto your desktop so it is easy to find.
2. Turn OFF your Motorola Triumph (MT) phone.
3. Once the phone is off, make sure that it is not plugged into anything at this time.
4. Hold down the Power + Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the phone vibrates. (I usually hold the phone in one hand and then simultaneously press one button with my thumb and the other button with my forefinger)
5. The phone will boot into Download Mode. You will see the following types of messages on the screen:
polling, get oemsbl_mode=1
6. Now plug the phone into your computer. A drive labeled MOBILE will appear in your computer (MAC or Windows. Not sure about Linux)
7. Open the MOBILE drive and you should see a folder named image.
8. In the image folder, you will now see the recovery.img file.
9. Rename the file to recovery.img.old (or something like that) so you have a backup in case you ever want to revert back to the stock recovery.
10. Copy the recovery.img file that you unzipped in step 1 into the MOBILE folder on the phone.
11. After the copy is complete, unplug the phone from the computer and take out the battery, wait a second, and put the battery back into the phone.
12. To boot up into CWM, hold down the Power + Volume Up and Volume Down simultaneously until the phone vibrates.
Please note: DO NOT be alarmed if you see these types of error messages. Many people (including me) get them and none have reported that the errors affect the operation of ClockworkMod Recovery:
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
The MT should boot up into CWM. The latest stock version 5.5.0.4 will have blue lettering.
The controls for CWM 5.5.0.4 (as well as all previous Isaacj87 versions) in the MT are:
Volume up --> up
Volume down --> down
Power --> turns screen black
Menu --> select
Home --> nothing
Back --> back
Search --> nothing
If you want to view a video of how to install CWM on the MT, Minus5252 put together this video on this post -- just don't download the version shown in the video as that version is old:

Huge thanks to Koush on whose work all CWM is based on. Thanks to isaacj87 who did the original port to the MT on which these are based. If I missed anything or forgot to thank anyone, let me know and I'll update this.

I'm a slow adopter and I think my clockwork is still at 4.0.0.9. Thank you for posting this relatively informative compilation of info.
Any outstanding features you want to mention right off the bat? The kind of stuff that would belong in OP?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

The main reasons to upgrade are:
1. The newest versions support ext 4 partitions which are necessary if you want to flash the latest CM7 ROM.
2. This may or may not be true, but I think they sync'ed the latest CWM code from the CM code and that was how it got updated to the 5.0.2.3. So there may be bug fixes that got pulled down--I could be wrong though--just guessing here.
3. I read some people report that in the CWM 4.0.0.9 there was an option to "format /fat" which they did and semi-bricked their phones. This option does not exist in the Isaac/Tickerguy CWM versions and so there's less chance of a user accidentally bricking their phones.

I tried all of these recovery imgs
I followed all of the directions and once I boot onto cwm I see below some errors
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3
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

I've never experienced that but i've seen other people report the same thing. However, they also indicate that it doesn't seem to cause them issues. Try doing a backup and then a restore to see if that works for you.

Hey llorn I'm making some cwm flashable zip recoveries tonight and ill pm you the links so you can add them to the open! I finally figured out how to flash recoveries from cwm!
Sent from my OC'ed Triumph!

Hey llorn, sorry but would you mind guiding me a bit, i would usually find a way to this without help but how should i backup and restore? Isnt that done through cwm? Whenever cwm loads i try pressing power for any option and all i get is a screen with nothing but a hat. Any suggestions?

As stated in the OP:
The controls for CWM 5.0.2.3 (as well as the Isaacj87 versions 4.0.1.5 and 4.0.1.4) in the MT are:
Volume up --> up
Volume down --> down
Power --> back
Menu --> select
Home --> nothing
Back --> back
Search --> nothing
And yes, you would do the backup and restore in the "Backup and Restore" option.

Older versions remove the menus if you push the...back button, I believe. They are returned if you push the button again but it's still disconcerting.
I wonder if there's any issues with wiping cache if you decide to do so... It's rather difficult to properly mount things on the Triumph, it seems!

llorn do you know how embarrassed I feel. I can't believe i overlooked this. I'm an idiot! Just booted up cm7! I wish I could still install a custom kernel though....

Nah ur good wiping anything(besides fat!!!!) With these recoveries! Yeah this phone is partitioned weird but I haven't had a problem getting stuff to mount in my update zips!
Sent from my OC'ed Triumph!

updated OP to include the latest 5.0.2.6 CWM posted by Isaac.
No need to update if you don't want to if you are already using 4.0.1.5 or 5.0.2.3 -- unless you're like me and just have to have the latest versions...

I got the same, by a mistake i picked an older version 4.0.1.5, and that worked just fine, but flashed to v5.0.2.3 and I got these errors and if I try to use any command it freezes. If I go back to 4.0.1.5 again it works. What can be causing this? Will a wipe first fix it?

i followed the directions but volume down and power doesn't boot me into download mode. I just get an exclamation mark and an android guy...suggestions?

When i try to boot into recovery the phone vibrates endlessly until i do a battery pull. I followed the instructions but i did rename the CWM file from Recovery to Recovery.img could that be why its doing this?

Try removing the battery!
Or the best thing is you do a full wipe in recovery and enter download mode and then flash any stock rom!!
And then flash any kernel for recovery! Mine is uc v9!!
This will fix your problem..

Try removing the battery!
Or the best thing is you do a full wipe in recovery and enter download mode and then flash any stock rom!!
And then flash any kernel for recovery! Mine is uc v9!!
This will fix your problem..

It won't let me wipe data/factory reset
it won't format /cache & /datadata !

your subject and words are two different things. you are going into recovery and attempting to flash a zip, but it fails. your subject said your phone won't start, and instead goes into recovery.
don't take offense, but "all bases have to be covered" since you're a new member, so:
do you know the difference between recovery and download mode?
how many times did you try going into download mode? it doesn't always happen on the first attempt.
if it's still failing even after 5 very careful proper tries that would put another phone in download mode, did you try removing the battery? how long did you remove the battery for before trying to go to download mode again?

Try again. Boot into downloading with volumedown+home+power

Thank you everyone for your help
actually, I noticed a post here on the forums saying that if I remove the battery, press the combos, then insert the battery while pressing the buttons for download mode.
I tried it & it worked !!
I flashed JPKP5 since it has arabic support then flashed cf root
Everything works fine now I have a rooted phone, trying to flash MIUI on it.
Hope it works.
Thanks again guys for helping I really respect.

Can't find alternative download link.
I have searched the internet for any other download link for xxkpe firmware (since hotfile is closed) but could not find any. I will be very thankful if anyone of you could provide an alternative working download link.

Greetings;
Go to Sammobile website. Search for your device and then pick the ROM you need.
Alternatively I recommend DDLF2 Full ROM. (Found in XDA Forum)
