Hi, I'm a noob. I have a nexus s (ICS) on sprint service. I managed to unlock but I can't seem to root. I've tried serveral manual and one click methods. In recovery mode, I am unable to flash (download) su.zip to my device. I keep getting a message. Message states, "E: signature verification failed Installation aborted". I've done factory reset, wiped all data caches nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would be greatly apperciated. Thanks
you root first, then install SU, if it hasnt been done in the root gaining process.

So here's the deal. I have A rooted Droid Incredible and i cant get past the splash image. I tried going into recovery and wiping everything and flashing a new rom but I keep getting the following message:
E: Can't mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1
It comes up when i try to flash a rom and says installation aborted about halfway through installing. It also comes up when i try to wipe and do a factory reset.
If anyone knows a way around this It would be immensely helpful, because as of right now i cant use my phone which is a problem. I'm running clockwork recovery v2.5.0.5.

Try to post this in Droid Incredible's ROM development section - you will find better help there!
Howdy all, yay another newbie!
Phone is a droid 2, verizon network. I rooted it last night with the super 1click, have SU access, wireless tether and installed rom manager free version.
Flashed cwm recovery to 2.5.08, tried to backup existing rom and had an immediate reboot with no backup made. Tried repeatedly same results, reflashed cwm repeatedly same results. Tried to change the cwm recovery version, and have
2.5.08
2.5.1.4
2.5.1.3
2.5.1.1
listed. But trying to load any but 2.5.08 returns "An error occurred while downloading your recovery.
I tried going into CWM recovery through rom-manager but it immediately reboots back to normal, no recovery screen.
I entered into normal recover and tried to run the 'update.zip' which returns
E:Can't open /cacherecover/command
Install from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I wiped back to factory through the normal recovery screen and started fresh and am getting exactly the same as before with everything above tried again.
I have not tried installing a new rom, don't want to go that deep until I know I can reset if needed.
Any help or other ideas? What I've been able to find by searching hasn't resolved the problem yet.
I have been struggling with getting my Motorola Atrix 2 rooted. I finally got it rooted and tried to install a custom ROM. I started with installing CWM and flashing this CM10 port: (wangs) http://www.androidlawn.com/motorola-atrix-2-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-1/
I found this to be buggy so I kept looking and I found this: altCyanogenMod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275529
I installed it according to the instruction in that thread and now my phone just hangs on the CM boot screen.
I am able to get in to bootloader via adb.
When i use adb to reboot in to recovery I get the android with the Red triangle "!". If I hold both volume up and down I can get in to "Android System Recovery <3e> Android system recovery utility" from this menu I am able to
reboot the phone
flash a zip from the sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
apply update from cache
These are the only options. When I try to flash a NEW ROM in the flash zip option it fails, saying "E:signature verification failed" then it aborts. I have tried this with 2 different ROMs
I don't know what else to try.
I think this happened because I might be an idiot and installed the altCM on the wrong kernel.
Please help this fool fix his phone! Thank you!
bump-I don't mean to pester. I only bump this because I posted in the middle of the night and this post got quickly buried.
Please help.
Thank you
Hello all.
I'm sorry to bother you, but i've been stuck for 3 days, trying to work around my Samsung Young and the Root process.
I've tried all software that exists, without any success.
Used Odin to flash the CWM (which is the problem that i have), Framaroot, and many exploit sw.
The question is that i'm trying to root the phone. However, when using the recovery mode (CWM) and try to update it, using SD Card, it gives me the "E: unknown volume for path".
When tried to use Odin, in the download mode, i got the error on phone screen "signature verification failed".
So, is there any other option to update the Samsung, root it and install superuser?
I would like some help, please.
Thank you
Everytime I attempt to flash from a zip file in recovery mode I get operation aborted and error message. I never abort it. I have unlocked my bootloader and s-off my phone. I noticed in recovery it says (Tamper) and ideas how to bypass this message. Its annoying and I am unable to install a custom rom due to this. I have been using weaksause to root while phone is on and SuperSU will not install continues to give error messages. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have googled and tried so many ways without luck. I am a noob at most of this but have used google a lot and understand quite a bit but I am lost.
