Yes it's rooted and rom manger Not works

If it tells you that the signature is invalid, then it probably is: Most likely your download was corrupted, or your SD card, or ... well, it could be any number of things:
Try redownloading. If you can locate a checksum for the download: Use it!

Means which recovery ? How to download signature verification recovery ?

It's not a tool, it's an option inside ClockworkRecovery.

Where to download clockwrok recovery ? Can u tell me which thing I need ? I don't about this ? My phone is running on official stock 2.2.1 android and it's rooted .. Now I just want to install custom roms .. So can u please tell me what to do now ? Step by step

Ah, there's the problem. You need a tool to install the ROM... the standard recovery tool will only allow you to install firmware signed by the device maker. The usual order to install a custom firmware is this:
1. Root
2. Use root to install a recovery tool, for example ClockworkRecovery, via ROM Manager (you can find that in the market)
3. Use that to bypass the vendor signing requirement and install the new ROM
But I've got to ask: you're having all these problems already... do you really think a custom ROM is the right choice for you? I'm struggling sometimes and I have years of IT experience.

Change your thread title to something usefull...

in order to install a rom you need to have a custom recovery installed first witch is not the bootloader. there are several guides on how to install roms on the milestone so i suggest you start reading around in the motorola milestone forums. Also if your new to all this i would defiantly not recommend miui as your first rom.

I've used "ClockworkMod" and got errors, sometimes it doesn't do a good job wiping/formatting and mounting the sd in recovery doesn't work too good.
Never got those problems using "AmonRa_3.06_Recovery_ThunderG"

I want to flash CWM 5.0.2.0 on my Friend's LG Optimus P500.
We have rooted the phone yesterday.
Can you tell me the steps used to flash this recovery as I have flashed it on my Galaxy Ace but don't have any knowledge regaring O 1.
Is it safe ?
Reply would be appreciated

I m using clockwork mod recovery 5.0.2.0 so what should do to switch to AmonRa 3.06 recovery ?

I have CWM 5.0.2.7 installed but want to replace it with 5.0.2.0 'cause many dev r telling that its buggy(e.g.eeee16) & probably causing problem to create ext partition..How do i replace it? I hv d'loaded the zip from here.

Edit: i just realize that all your questions are because you don't know you can flash these zips in recovery,
This is what they are for.

Does LG O1 does not come with its inbuilt recovery as we can then just flash the CWM from it, I use Samsung Galaxy Ace and we have Stock recovery in it and I flashed CWM from there only.

amon_ra 3.06 is the most stable and convenient..in flashing and in backup..

Just install RomManager from Market, open it, click "Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery"
in the popup menu choose your phone version .
"LGE Optimus one" is newbaseband
"LGE Optimus one old" is oldbaseband
Afterwords you boot into recovery and flash the zip of your choice from here, if you want "Amonra" or anyother

That depends on what rom it has installed,
old baseband = froyo stock rom or custom rom based on that baseband
new baseband = gingerbread stock rom or custom roms based on it
What rom dose your frend have installed and if gsm is working on that rom,
if is a custom rom just search to see what baseband is that rom using and youll know,

What is the shortcut to go in amonra recovery it is the same as clockwork mod Power+Volume+Home ?

[q] windows 8.1 htc sensation xe assistance.

Dear XDA members,
I was using the revelation ROM Jelly bean 4.1 when I decided to backup my ROM using rom manager. This led the rom to somehow being corrupted. Thus I wiped the ROM and installed Sultans Kitkat ROM. My device S-ON but has an unlocked bootloader. So i formatted and flashed the new rom but when i connected it to my computer to fastboot flash boot the boot.img my device was not being recognized.
This is because my Laptop was upgraded from win 7 to 8.1 via a full clean installation thus deleting my fastboot adb drivers and the sensation drivers.
I have managed to install the adb drivers but whenever i connect the sensation it is not being recognised. Can someone please assist me as the device can't boot without flashing the boot.img.
Thanks!!

Hi,
I had this issue as well. I resolved it by installing this fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917929 . Try that, reboot and see if it works. If not, report back here. Also, try using USB 2.0 instead of 3.0.

Apparently the said update is already installed on my computer. I have tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0

Cannot install rom due old recovery version

so guys i tried to install one of those KitKat roms but it always failed to install.Then i realised that my 4ext recovery version is 2.2.7 (latest is 2.4.6) so there are two ways to fix this problem,but i don't know how because i don't have any android on my device install
1) find a rom that is compatible with this old recovery
2) somehow update the recovery via recovery menu.
Thanks in advance and sorry that i'm noob with rooting lol

its easy....
go to google play store and download/install this
$ext recovery updater from
http://www.4ext.net/
once downloaded install it and run it, select update recovery and it will ask to connect network... click yes/ok and download latest recovery, this will itself install latest 4ext recovery on ur phone from android itself without even booting/computer assistance,
do say yes to enable smart recovery, when it ask .
