First time trying to install a ROM other than the default on my AT&T Nexus S. Unlocked the boot loader. Installed Clockwork. Downloaded the NexusBeam4.01 and named the file update.zip. Copied it to the SD card, rebooted, told it to update from the zip file. I get the following:
-- Install /sdcard --
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Being new, I was hoping someone could tell me where I went wrong. Nexus S, AT&T.
Thank you.
Mike.
Got it figured out. I had unlocked the bootloader, but not rooted. All better now. Sorry for the newbie intrusion.

Hey, So i was trying to root my motorola droid maybe 2 weeks ago but it didnt work, and i didnt really care enough to try again (i have a mac and it was a pain to find a windows computer). I thought everything would be fine, but for some reason when i tried to update my phone to 2.2 (i found the update.zip on androidcentral) it said that it failed, and for some reason when i restart holding down the X, it says:
Android system recover <2e>
Patched by SirPsychoS (0.00.3b)
is there a way to change that back to the regular one? or am i screwed hahaha
Also when i hit "allow update.zip installation' and then 'install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated) i get this:
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborded.
What do you guys think i should do? finish rooting it (can i have directions please ) or is there a way to get it back to how i got it? I think i alreayd tried to factory reset it
Thanks
Assuming you can boot into recovery, find your original ROM on the net, if available and re-flash with that to be un-rooted and back at square-one.
Could be the ROM you flashing now is not for your network provider, or you haven't successfully rooted.
I'm HTC myself so would use a goldcard (google it) to use a generic rom with my vodafone phone. Don't know if goldcards work with motorola.
hmm i cant seem to find it, could i just stick with what i have now and receive the 2.2 froyo update when it comes through OTA?
Depends how you rooted (or tried to root) if you flashed a rooted Rom in the root process it probably won't be updating from the official Motorola servers.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I don't think i even flashed a rom, i tried that screenshot program (i cant remember the name of it, but you need root to use it) and it wouldnt work so i dont actually have root. I think that i tried to flash it with a rooted 2.1 rom but it failed. what do you guys suggest i do?
ok so i figured out that it was because my mac unzipped the file, but when i try to install it i get this:
Install from sdcard...

Ive tried like 4 different downloads and its just not working :S
Okay here's my problem. My phone has been asking to update for a while so I restored to a recovery with the stock kernal and unrooted it. I go to install the update and I am getting an error. I click instal, my phone turns off like its suppose to, recovery mode then appears says there's been an error update failed.
Anyone know what I did/what I can do to fix this?
edit: heres exactly that it says:

Hey I have this same problem! Where can I get a copy of the OTA update or something else? I also tried updating to cyanogenmod 7 and can't get it to work either
i had this problem with my sgs2 for there update, i unrooted went back to the stock like the phone was brand new , did you do the same?
No, I am not sure I want to go back to unrooted, the bacckup options just aren't as good. I guess I want the best of both worlds, to have htcsense and to be able to back it up completely. (It's really my dad's phone, I'm not so tied to htc sense)
I keep getting an OTA notification, but when I try to install it, the update always fails. My Android version is currently 4.0.4. My phone is rooted and have the custom recovery installed. When I try to install the update, the phone reboots into recovery and always fails with the following details:
CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4
E: Invalid command argument

What is this update? Should I just keep trying? Do I need to do something to make it work? Or should I just install the new leaked JB ROM?

I believe you can't be on a custom recovery and successfully install an OTA update on its own.

Any OTA update, you need to go back to pure stock rom, meaning no root, no custom rom, no cwm. Sooner or later you need to move on to Jelly Bean, so yeah, prepare yourself, do a full backup of your apps (not system apps), go back to stock then take the OTA. Second option, disabled the OTA notification for now and wait for JB custom rom build for official Jelly Been.
That all makes sense. Thanks, guys!
I downloaded the OTA update and whenever I install it, it gives me this..

I searched on google but I could only find solutions which include downloading the whole rom, is there another way to fix this? I'm scared that flashing the rom might wipe my data. I already tried downloading the update thru the internet but still gave me the same thing. I'm rooted, and have the stock recovery. Thank you
You can either flash the full ROM zip with the stock recovery, or flash the stock images with fastboot. Neither will wipe your data (unless you flash the userdata image).
Hi Guys,
