im not sure what im missing- i have smooth maximus x, rom manager, and it has the recovery or whatev- but when i boot into recovery it boots the stock one- wtf! the menu for rom manager is not flashing the img. it says it is. just erased everything for nothing!problem?
If its going to the stock recovery, its working fine! when you are on stock recovery menu, choose install packages (or whatever it is) and that will get you into clockwork recovery.
But its not loading to clockworks revovery. It just goes to standard start up when that option is selected.
correction
Sorry correction- I try that, and it says "signature verififaction failed- installation aborted." Why?

why are you using ROM manager to flash the recovery if your on SMX ? SMX has bali 2.2 in it wich has CWM built into the kernel so your recovery should be the RED voodoo CWM recovery by default. and if stock blue recovery is coming up for some reason yu should be able to reinstall packages cause SMX has the modded stock recovery already
No no no, I'm not on smx- I'm trying to install the darn thing. I'm still on the stock rom. When I boot into recovery there are 4 options-
Reboot now
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Install packages
When selecting install packages, it fails via signature verification. There are no cwm recovery options available, either.
ooh .. your problem is you have to be rooted which im sure you already are ..
then go to the CWM thread in the DEV section and apply the modded recovery to system/bin . this will make the recovery ignore the signature check so you can flash CWM then SMX
use root explorer or adb push this file
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2993191/recovery
to /system/bin
then put this file on the root of ur sd
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2993191/update.zip
and put maximus x rom on ur sd
reboot recovery
reinstall packages
now ur in cwm
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
Go to mounts and storage
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
install zip from sd
choose zip from sd
look for maximus x rom install and u should be good
after you flash, go back to mounts and storage (before rebooting) and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
this is as easy as i can put it
Thank you very muych for your persistence to help! I am a noob and cannot find the ty button. I'm a newb, I know.HOWEVER....…I am not a newb to this in general, and I have tried that already. I read that forum . Duh!this is what happens when trying to move the file to sys.bin:
Root explorer says:
Paste operation failed-
Does not say why. I found a solution! Another forum says to downgrade to stock recovery e2, then cwm will work. But I have to get odin and crap. So if there is something I'm STILL missing, and can't move the file there for that reason, don't hesitate to enlighten me.
you need to move the modded recovery to /system/bin/recovery, anything that tells you to downgrade is not correct, as we do not have anything to 'downgrade' to. The modded recovery from Krylon does the same thing. you should be following this:
1. download the recovery.zip from krylon
2. extract the .zip and copy the recovery file to your sdcard
3. use root explorer to copy the recovery from the sdcard to /system/bin/recovery
if it fails, make sure that /system is mounted as read write, rather than read only, there should be a button in root recovery to mount read/write.
Thank you sir! I was comitting a syntax error... maybe by attempting to copy the file from the wrong directory. No, the downgrade works... I was reffering to e2 recovery for samsung rather than e3 which requires signature ver. But that takes waaaaaay longer. So thank you. I was trying to copy the whole zip, rather than the actual file because I thought I had extracted it(stupid). But yeah. Ty! Will see if cwm works now.
Glad to hear that it worked for you, let me know how cwm works out for you, as well as whatever parts come after that for you. Don't forget the Thanks button if someone helps you
The files are in their proper places, all is right.
But when I boot into recovery, I am startled with fright!
For its still normal, its still stock-
So help me ill throw this phone like a rock!
Haha. But seriously. Still same issue.
FAILS TO INSTALL ANYTHING
"Signature verification failed- installation aborted."
It seems I will have to do it the hard way by installing e2. This was this issue for the galaxy s.
Why does no one else with a sidekick have to do this!!!!? Why is it not giving y'all signature verification errors! Why is there no video yet?
Sig verification issues relate to the recovery. it should still look like stock, as the original CWM is a fake flash. Make sure you have the cwm update.zip from Krylon's thread in your sdcard.
It is!!!!!! I think I'm going to cry.
Recovery is saved (overwrite) as instructed.
Update is on sd card as instructed.
Can't be corrupted, deleted files and tried again.
Boot into recovery and stock shows (as it should.)
Re-install from package (only option other than data wipe and reboot)
Whole signature failure
Signature verification failure
Installation aborted. :'(
i'll make you a script and a zip of everything to do this for you later, but that won't be until a bit later, still have to drive my girl home. in the meantime, can you try redownloading the cwm from ayo's original post? also, have you tried the rom manager version of cwm?
Roger that.
And it would be greatly appreciated. If it is, however, just another list of the instructions as mentione previously in this thread, or in the original rom post, forget it. But if there's something new then sure. Heck, a video would be great. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one watching it either. And I will redownload all of it again(non-existant jesus christ) and try again in the meantime. Thank you again for your effort and supporth surely it must be that I am the only on with this issue. So I am unique on xda! Silly video...
i could even go so far as to skype someone to SHOW them ive got it right or what i have done, in which case i would hope for an "ah ha!now that thurz ya problem right thur neow."
Ok, I have a script for you, it's semi-tested? I already have root in my adb, so I can't test it as well, but it should work. let me know what happens. just unzip this, and run the run.bat.
this will reboot you into recovery after it's done, so make sure you're not doing anything on your phone when you run it.
https://sites.google.com/a/stephenduvick.com/www/files/sk4gtestoneclickroot.zip?attredirects=0&d=1
Credit to Noobnl for the original script, and krylon for the fake flash.
So how exactly do I run the run.bat? Its not an exe or script file... is there a command list I need to put in? (Gawd, the last custom rom I installed(cliq xt) was so much easier, before there even was a clockwork mod. It was easier, and that was when it was the hard way!) And my phone is already rooted, sure that doesn't matter though.
I have a sg2 plus GT-1905 (without the p version) ...I have installed the latest Clockworkmod recovery v6.0.3.1 ..Iv been trying to update from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 but without succes cuz when i try to install zip from sdcard it says :
E:Cant open /sdcard/I9105XXUBMH4_I91050XEBMH3_SER (1) - copy.zip (bad)

Iv seen the other forums with the same problem and tried:
toggle on off signature verification
wipped data factory reset
formated my 2gb external sd card to fat32

are you kidding me?
i really wanna know why can't people read before asking?
you don't need clockworkmod to flash 4.2.2
and you can't, if it actually started, you'll actually brick it
do your own searching job in the whole s2 plus forum
there are so many complete guides around the whole forum and nobody reads and keep asking questions which answers have been provided already.
just as @KINGbabasula said
"if everyone is 'just asking', then the whole forum will be filled with useless and meaningless questions"
Ok first of all you dont need to be such nervous about it -.- ... Im a newbie and dont understand very well the process . Can you please post a link of it it will be appriciated . I will delete the post then evetybody will live in peace

erm,you have the wrong concept:
first of all,the method you use is for custom rom or any modded rom with zip file.
but what u have there is official firmware,which meant for flashing with odin(some sort of samsung's flashing program)
1)exact the file u downloaded until you got .tar.md5 in the end of the file name.
2)download odin 3.04
3)select ''I9105XXUBMH4_I91050XEBMH....tar.md5'' in the ''pda''
4) click ''start'' once u connected your phone in download mode(power+vol up+home button)
something like the photo i attached
Nothing happened

which means you flashed the 4.1.2 again and without wiping.
which
you were not flashing 4.2.2
link?
Ok then can you please redirect me to a 4.2.2 rom ? But for gt-9105 version

Brian was right,you flash 4.1.2 again,try to separate firmware and don't get confuse. This is the link
http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/13204/Galaxy_S_2_Plus/GT-I9105/SER/I9105XXUBMH4.html
Yep you have to know what is a firmware and what is a custom rom. Or you'll risk bricking your phone in your further flashing

Official 4.2.2 can be installed with odin, not in cwm
Hi, I read lots of posts here in xda on how to install custom ROM on my HTC Salsa, lot of times i felt bad as the posts always required my phone to be S-OFF. I couldn't find a nice and easy solution for this.
However somewhere i read that it is not mandatory to have S-OFF and which is when i just started experimenting on my phone.
I did unlock the bootloader from HTC dev . But i still have S-on.
I downloaded some *i9500 custom ROM and copied it to my downloads folder in sdcard. Tried to install the zip from sdcard from my CWM Recovery and it failed always. But then i thought that it could be the problem with image which i downloaded as it is not supported. So then i found one more post for HTC Salsa and downloaded the image from the link given in there.
Here is the link of that post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2745185
Here is the link from where i downloaded the zip : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/
Here is the image which i downladed : cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
After getting into CWM Recovery i tried to install the same and at first it looked that it is going to install but in some time i get some error like
set_metadata_recursive.... error STATUS 7. INSTALLATION ABORTED.
Then i thought i was doing to wrong and as per some post .. i formatted all the /boot /system /sdcard ....partitions listed in CWM.
Now my sdcard is completely formatted .
After i copy my image there and try to install the same :
I get :
--Installing: /sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E: Error in .sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I can't even reboot to my old ROM. .. Not sure if its lost completely. .. Need help urgently.
Please help me recover or reinstall any ROM just for my phone to come back to life again.
You have posted the issue in the right forum in your initial post. That is the right place for your concern. Please be patient and wait for one of the experts to respond.
Recently, I found a repack of Cyanogenmod 12 for the Gionee M3. I decided to install it, but all that happened was that it wiped my system partition and spat out this error:
Code:
"ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:systemset_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"
According to the TWRP file manager, there was nothing at all in the system partition but a folder called "bin" (which I suspect was added when TWRP asked me if I wanted to root it). I went through the installer script, but I was having some trouble because I can't tell what half of it actually does. From what I can tell, though, it copied the releasekey, then formatted the partition, then went through a big long list with "symlink" a lot of times and what looked like a list of every file that would be in the new system partition. It quit, from what I can tell, after it got down to the "metadata" section which began with a "set_metadata_recursive" command.
Does anybody know what this means, and how I can work around it?
(I'd experienced an error with this same ROM before, but it told me to do a factory reset. Now I'm having this error instead.)
Hello,
To better assist you, your thread will be moved to your device forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gionee-m3
The experts there may be able to help.
Okay, I've installed PhilZ instead of TWRP and I can now flash Lollipop ROMs. But CyanogenMod is still failing. It still just says (when I try installing SuperSU immediately after flashing) that there is no system or data partition. But the first zip (the Cyanogenmod one) doesn't throw any errors.
I got the zip from blu-dev.com.
Greetings, the story that follows is embarrasing for me since i ****ed it up 2 times already.
I accidentally deleted my /system/fonts folder and now it won't boot up anymore, then I tried to get into my recovery mode (3e) and i tried to "update from sdcard" and restore a stock ROM, the manager sees the update.zip file but once i try to install it, it gives me this output:
Code:
-- Install /sdcard ..
Installation aborted(APPLY_EXT).
. It gives me that for any ROM, either cusom or stock.
Not sure what is causing, am I using a wrong sdcard format (FAT32)?
Also, this is the first time when I change my ROM, or better said in this case unbrick it, I'm not even sure if changing the ROM restores the fonts folder, but I think worths a try?
Moreover USB debugging is off and I can't use ADB.
Thank you for reading my post and sorry for my awful grammar.
