I flashed back to froyo with no issues at all. I removed clockwork recovery and just put it back on, I downloaded the gingerbread file and I go through the process of flashing the rom from my sd card from the recovery and not rom manager and it says installation aborted. Why is it saying that? I used two different gingerbread file downloads.
I power down, power on to the clockwork recovery, do a factory reset, and go to install zip from sd card, but it says installation aborted.
Does battery level have anything to do with it?

Hello,
I have rooted my phone yesterday. Now I want to instal a custom ROM. I flashed the phone with ROM manager. Then I select the option: Boot into clockwork recovery. It reboots into recovery but the wrong one. It reboots into the android standard recovery. When I press on apply update.zip it will say signature failed.
I really have no clue what to do, please help me.
Try re-downloading the update.zip file again to make sure that one isnt corrupted
I have the same issue can't boot into clockworkmod. The samsung stock loader shows up
Select update.zip and it should load cwm

that is the exact guide i am following, but i am having the problem i described above. within CWM i am unable to load the kernal.
When yo ugo into recovery mode what color is all the lettering on the screen?
Secondly after flashing CWR did you fully boot the device up before trying to flash a kernel? If so that is your problem. Reason being is if you DO NOT flash a kernel right after flashing CWR before boot the device the recovery image gets overwritten. You MUST install a custom kernel right after flashing CWR before fully booting the device up the first time.

He's right. You have to flash the kernel and rom before you boot. If your recovery is yellow your good to go. If its blue then your flashing the recovery correctly. Redownload the recovery file and try again.
hey thx works now, comes down to the first reboot. they should add that to the guide.
Great glad it got worked out for ya.
I successfully rooted my HTC Tattoo(click) and now I want to flash Cyanogenmod7. I booted to recovery (recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644279), wiped Dalvik-cache and sdcard (when i wiped my sdcard, is it still a goldcard?) and did hard reset.
Then I chose "Flash zip from sdcard" and tried to flash CM7. In half of a process it always stops and reports: (Status 7) installation aborted.
Can anyone help?

I have the same problem. Titanium Backup says I'm rooted and I'm just fine but when I hit fix permissions in rom manager I get this warning "error running privileged" commands.. And when I try to flash CWM I get an unexpected error or something :S .. What the heck?
i tried to do the gps fix on my evo 4g running the rc cm7. i downloaded a sense rom and attempted to fix the switched back to cm7 rc1. now my phone is stuck in recovery and i cannot restore any of my backups. it says error while flashing boot image. PLEASE HELP
Have you tried flashing a rom instead of restoring?
It could be your SD card. Copy the contents onto your computer and format the card. Put whatever you need to flash back on the formatted card and try flashing again.
What recovery are you using? You can try a different recovery (or reflashing).

it wont even let me connect my phone to my comp. it just sticks me in an endless cycle of clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.2 it wont let me load up to my phone so i can install another rom. it just keeps saying error while flashing boot image. it will let me go to advanced under restore and manual let me restore everything but restore boot is the only thing that fails
Try Amon Ra. It won't let you restore the backups made with ClockworkMod, but you should be able to connect to your computer through usb-ms toggle and put a rom on your SD card to flash. You can also try flashing an older version of ClockworkMod, I've heard of issues with one of the newer versions.
It you can get a card reader or somehow transfer files to your card, flash one of these through hboot. Hboot will scan and find the PC36IMG and ask you to "update" - select yes, then no when it asks you to reboot. Select recovery and go from there.
Amon Ra is here: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
Clockwork 3.something is here: http://db.tt/9sksyTK
Both are already named correctly, so don't rename it.
If you could access your SD card then you'd have a lot more options. Not just flashing a different recovery, but flashing a rom or formatting your card.
Your boot partition could somehow be corrupted. Hopefully not, but it is a possibility.

I'm also having a similar issue with the new ClockworkMod Recovery. Until its fixed I've been using 3.x to do all my work...
Is there a place where we can contact the devs behind it to submit bugs or something?

I still cant connect to the computer. i have been taking out my sd card and putting it in the card reader. i am happy aman ra worked. since then i have tried flashing cm7, cm6, and cm7rc1. everytime i try it lets me get to the point where it says installing update but then it says " assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot" Then the name and location of the zip then status 7. i am close i think. i just cant get into my phone at all to make phone calls or text. also i have not been able to connect to the computer with amon ra. Is there a setting i have to enable? thanks for the help guys. I was so lost and now it seems like i am making a little progress
In order to access your SD card from Amon Ra, you need to plug it in and select usb-ms toggle. That's all that you need to do, so if it isn't working then something is wrong.
Have you tried running an RUU? Considering that it won't flash the boot partition, I feel like something more permanent might be wrong. If you can get the RUU to flash, then you may be able to flash from there.
I still recommend formatting your SD card if you haven't already. It can't hurt, just remember to backup everything on the card.

Hey everyone,
So, I made a mess and I have no idea how to get out of it!
I tried to update to ICS using the file found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395828
BUT I made a mistake by forgetting to rename it to update.zip (it was named Vsomethingsomethingsomething). Right now, my phone won't boot up past the startup screen (Google and the unlocked padlock). I was trying to upgrade from 2.3, had performed a factory reset before trying to update. Phone is essentially stuck on that screen. I can enter recovery by manually holding down the volume up button and power but can't move past that since I forgot to rename the Vsomethingsomething.zip file. Also, in a terrible and embarassing lapse of memory, I only backed up using TB and not CWM or ROM manager.
Can someone PLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEE help me? You will receive my endless thanks! I'm so screwed! Help! PLease! Thanks!
You hear of ODIN? search for it, and it will save you

Maybe you could flash CWM via fastboot.
Download latest CWM image file: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo.img
Then, you can fully wipe your phone using CWM, and then flash the zip file.
One thing to note: the file you're talking about, that Vsomethingsomething.zip is an OTA update from 2.3.6.
If you're upgrading straightly from 2.3, go grab the full update, the file name is Zsomethingsomething.zip
Here you go: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/ZD3PyN0t.zip
Download a rom that you want to flash. If you don't have a rom in mind then use CyanogenMod 9 from here: http://get.cm/get/2jI
Boot into recovery.
Mounts & storage -> Mount USB Storage
Copy the cm9 zip you downloaded onto your phone's memory.
Go back a few times
Wipe data/factory reset.
Install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, choose the zip you downloaded.
Once it is done reboot your phone.
Note: Your phone will not have the android market on it yet. To get the android market just flash this file after you flash the cm9 zip. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
EDIT: If you don't have CWM installed anymore you will need to install it before you flash a rom. Put your phone into the bootloader. Then do this command over fastboot: "fastboot flash recovery C:\whatever\folder\the\file\is\in\recovery.img
Here is the recovery file: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

Thanks so much! I can't even get into fastboot mode (plugged USB in, held down vol up+down + power), I'm still stuck on the Google & unlocked padlock screen. Suggestions?
Thanks for all the help so far. Since I'm going to be reflashing anyway, any chance I can just flash right to ICS? How do I do this? It would get rid of the step of me experimenting-then-screwing-up.
I tried what you recommended and it worked! I even managed to get up to 4.0.3 BUT now I have run into a bigger problem: no 3G reception! I have been searching online for about 4 hours now and I still can't figure out how to get a connection. I haven't managed to get CWM going and stock recovery just keeps giving me installation aborted messages. Advice? i just seem to have dug the hole deeper!
What phone do you have? The i9020A, i9020T or i9023? You'll be best knowing which phone before flashing any new radios to (most likely) fix your reception problem.
I believe KB3 for one will work regardless of (GSM) radio though. To flash radio:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
while connected via usb and in fastboot mode.
EDIT: From your other thread it looks like you have the 4G (koodo is CDMA isn't it?). You'll want an NS4G radio to flash.
So why all the hard work to flash a system img of an outdated rom? You know we are up to 4.04? And the stock odin version has the radio?
