[Q] HTC Desire Rom Loading Issues

Hi
I have taken the step to root my desire handset using Unrevoked3 but have now come to the start of my problems.
I have downloaded many roms and tried to load them to the phone using the step by step methods posted with each rom, the phone fails to load any of the new roms I have downloaded and is dissplaying the following messages each time:
E:signature lengh doesn't match Eoco marker
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
Bad
My phone details are as follows:
Firmware: 2.1-update 1
Kernal: 23.44.00.32u_5.09.0530_2 ~ [email protected] 18-2#1
Build: 1.15.405.4 CL155070 release-keys
HBoot: 0.80.0000
Radio: 5.09.05.30_2
If anyone is able to offer any help it would be most helpfull.
If I wanted to unroot the phone and return it to a stock HTC build can I just install the Android 2.2 software update? I have tried to load a pre Froyo upadate but because the Hboot version on my phone is 0.80 it fails to install because you can't for some reason downgrade the Hboot.
The Froyo update has a Hboot of 0.90 so is it ok to download and install this to return the phone to stock HTC OS?

what recovery are you using? that error is just because the rom isnt signed.....

I'm new to rooting so please bare with me, the recovery is clockwork I beleave? it's the recovery system installed by Unrevoked3.
I can confirm I have super user permissions and the rooting completed ok with the unrevoked 3 software.
I don't think I'm technically inclinded enough to get to grips with running roms and messing about with rooting.
If you don't mind helping with easy to follow tips it would be most appreciated.
I think if it's possible to return my phone to stock HTC software it would better, I should have looked into the loading roms side of the rooting before jumping in to messing about with the phone.

in clockwork mod there is an option to toggle signature varification, switch that off and flash again

I have tried that I'm sorry to say and the flash still fails to install? I must be doing something wrong, I can't beleave that all the Rom's I havetried to install fail.
I don't really know what to do next, I have even been in contact with HTC about returning the phone and have them reflash the origional software
The phone was on Orange uk but I ended up getting a code to unlock it, the next thing that bugged me was the pre installed software that Orange install as part of the os hence the rooting to debrand, now I can't even get any room to flash to the rooted phone.

Have you already downloaded rom manager from the market to make an ext on sd card? Or have you tried to load in amon ra recovery?

When loading the roms all I have done is copy them right onto the memory card and then used clockworkmod to try to install the update rom?
I didn't know you needed to make an ext [partition]?? on the sd card?
I did install rom manager .. but wasn't aware what the software is supposed to be used for?
I don't now what amon ra is or how you use it?
I hope I can get the phone to except thr loading of custom roms I like the idea of being able to totally control what software is installed to the phone and also giving some of the really good looking Roms listed on Xda a try.
Thank you for your help

[Q] I can't load any ROM's on Roger Infuse 4g

So I rooted my phone -> Thanks XDA
and I've installed CWM but I can't boot into/install CWM recovery Console.
Everytime I try I get
E:Failed Verify Whole-File Signature
E:Signature verification failed
Installation Aborted.
Then I'm spit into the Android system recover(3e).
Where regardless of what I do I get the same error.
OR
it simply says
E: signature verification failed.
I've been reading for the last 4 days trying to figure a way around this. I've bricked and unbricked my phone 4 times.
If I've missed a thread that would help I apologize, I'm a noob around here but I'm a well versed hacker of hardware.
Thanks for your help

What do you mean you "installed CWM"
The same method for rooting your device (flashing a kernel that injects root to your device) already has CWM built in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248
Whatever you did to "install" CWM probably broke the existing CWM installation of the kernel you flashed to get root.

... well I'm ran through the infused update again..... and my phone started talk.
Scared the BA JESUS out of me LOL.
And now it works.
I figured it was something easy like that.
Thanks for your help.

Galaxy SII Issues with CWM Ultra toxic rom 8.0

Gday. I'm having this issues trying to update to the latest 8.01 version of the ultra toxic rom. I cant post as im below 10 post so this was the only place i could find for some help.
I have rom manager installed. and i also flash clockworkmod recovery then reboot into recovery. For what ever reason it will not work and im at a loss, tried uninstall it and go from there but no go.
Once it reboots it says at the top Android system recovery <3e>.
Down a little it says this.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature.
E:signature verification failed.
Installation aborted.
Basically i have searched the net and cant work it out myself. I've used it before for a backup when going from lightning rom to toxic rom. but I've never used it since.

CWM won't install..

Ok, my infuse is rooted and have done GTG, odin back to stock (at different times when CWM wouldn't install)...with root and without. I have successfully rooted and had superuser install with su# updated.
Have download CWM from the market and flashed the recovery with no luck. Download the file from XDA links and put on root of sd card, with renamed "update.zip", entered 3e recovery and reinstall packages...with the following error:
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Yes I have tried to download it again from different source in case of bad download...
Are their any other ways to install CWM......? at a lose cause my other Infuse worked on the first try of everything....
Sorry forgot to add the (Q) didn't see it....

if you get no where,
I would do a factory reset when you are running the stock ROM under /settings/privacy/reset
Then I would try the heimdall package adam outler made.

What worked for me after Odin to stock was using SGS to flash the voodoo community kernel from froyo after that it allowed red CWM to work flawlessly and then I could flash ROMs again without issue.

Just a follow up to who ever would run into my problem:
I did return to stock using Odin and could never get CWM to flash using the app from market nor putting it on the root of the SD card. I tried GTG back to stock...with no luck getting CWM either....nor could I get Heimdall to work.
So I was able to use SGS kernel flash from the market to flash the "community kernel v8"... and get CWM.....so I don't why nothing else but the SGS flasher worked.....but I got it!!
Thanks for all the input and help fellows!

Wookspy important having the same problem i just got my infuse today i rooted and 3e recovery is installed i just keep getting the verification error when installing packages all you did was flash the kernel and it worked ?
Sorry i keep getting the errors when reinstalling packages for cwm any help would be much appreciated

[Q] Samsung Infuse - Can't boot into correct recovery

First a disclaimer: The only reason I opened up a fresh thread on this is because a lot of the existing posts do not answer this question or a bunch of rabbit trails that only repeat and never get to root (no pun intended) of things.
OK simple plan is to Upgrade to ICS and then Jellybean on my infuse.
Phone is rooted to gingerbread (2.3.6) and have confirmed superuser status. Completed this through oden3
Installed modded 3e recovery file into /system/bin (btw there was never a recovery file in this location to start)
I do have a recovery file in the root. If I place my modified recovery file there (and set r/w permissions) it still does not work and is overwritten by the standard recovery file on the next reboot - which leads me to this error when I try to upgrade the ROM
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
I think the problem is I never enter the alternative recovery but it always kicks me back to the standard recovery, which will not allow me to use a custom ROM.
I do have CWM, Root explorer and tried a number of different schemes and apps to boot into recovery but always the same outcome.
I have tried just about all i could see in this forum but still missing something.

You need to use SGS Kernel Flasher to flash one of the custom kernels out there (Entropy's kernel, for example). Stock kernel doesn't give you access to CWM.

That did it!
