[Q] Clockwork and no backup

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.

[Q] Problems Flashing roms

Ok so I flashed about to stock this morning, rooted, and unlocked boot loader using ez unlock. Then I downloaded twrp 2.5.0.0 via Goomanager.
When I try and download a rom or wipe anything I get E: error opening '/data/lost+found'
E: error Not a dictory
I have tried several different roms and I also tried CWM and get the same results.
Anyone have an idea where I messed up?

[Q] Keeps rebooting to CWM Recovery (Status 7) error

Hi guys -- new to this phone, which i bought unlocked and rooted.
I tried to flash CM 11, and had the zip files on the external sd. When installing the ROM, I get a set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed E: error in .......d2vzwzip (Status 7) Installation aborted error. (Are you only supposed to install from internal SD?)
I now can't get past the Recovery 6.0.1.2 touch interface, and have no backups. I also can't get my phone to connect to PC via USB, even after installing Samsung drivers. Im sure this has been answered elsewhere, but any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
I had a similar issue. I cannot flash cm11 because i got a flash error "E:....". I tried latest TWRP and CWM touch/non touch still didn't work. to fix the bootloop i had to flash with odin. even after that can't flash cm11. I have grown to much dislike the sgs3. TW is so clunky and slow.

[Q] Soft-brick?

Okay so I was trying to flash cm11 on my htc one s s4 version and i think i accidentally deleted everything including my backup. Only thing that seems to be left is CWM recovery.
I've managed to push the rom to my sdcard but whenever i try to flash it i see this:
set_metadatarecursive: some changes failed
E: error in /sdcard/cm11.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
What can i do to fix this?
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Have you updated your recovery? CM11 requires newer version of recovery, CWM 6.0.4.5 or TWRP 2.6.3.0 at minimum.
You can find both recovery images from this post.
Flash new recovery with fastboot:
