Haven't installed a custom rom from a while and I have a couple of questions.
1. Does my phone need to be rooted to install the custom rom? If the answer is Yes, explain why.
2. Where do I put the rom and gapps - in sdcard or phone storage?

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.
What i understand is that you need ROM's to be *.md5, almost every ROM is *.zip, how do i flash that one? i need flash through odin because my galaxy went softbricked.
what do yo mean by soft brick ?? u cant go to recovery mode ??
install Offical rom then hack it with a kernel , go to recovery mode and install rom
there isnt anyway to install custom zip rom from odin

NOTICE
You must have 4.1.2 stock firmware :fingers-crossed: (This is not rom)
and
Download the update zip from google server http://android.clients.google.com/packages/data/ota/google_nakasi/094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip

Mirror 3 http://d-h.st/GEr
If you have a custom recovery, you can just copy it to the device, reboot to recovery, and flash directly as you would any other zip. You're done.
If you have the stock recovery, carry on.
Do you do a full wipe or dirty flash?

You do nothing special but make sure that you nexus 7 has stock firmware and no modified system file. Flash away with TWRP as usual.

What did you expect you flashed an OTA update. Unless you use something like OTA Root Keeper you are gong to lose root. Just use one of the many ways to root your device. I use Wug Fresh for rooting and installing a custom recovery.

The install is failed, why ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
how about rooting this 4.2 ??
I just updated and rooted with the same CWM package I used for 4.1.2 rom.
how to root it
use which super su.zip?
You can root it with the Nexus 7 ToolKit. Tested and working for me.
Or you can root manualy, by pushing rhe CWM recovery to system in Fastboot mode and installing the SU from CWM.
Beware of the Bootloader 4.13 that also made the issue of not recognizing the custom recovery - need to downgrade bootloader to 3.34 first.
In my case the recovery remained unchanged. I didn't had to downgrade anything.
Hi,
I requested my dear friend @Q9Nap to make a TWRP flashable zip of the full NPJS25.93-14-4 stock rom. At first this was meant for personal use only but still we decided to share it here. The zip contains all parts of a full stock ROM EXCEPT for the BOOTLOADER, PARTITION TABLE and STOCK RECOVERY! The files where ONLY tested on a European retail XT1642 dual sim 16GB variant (that's my device). Make sure you have a fastboot version of your stock ROM at hand in case something goes wrong. There are 2 zips: one is a full ROM (again: except for the recovery, bootloader and partition table), the other is the modem only.
One favour in return: please don't mirror these links.
Links:
Full zip
Modem only
Enjoy
(links updated)
will this replace TWRP with stock recovery?

I'm sorry for mentioning this wrong. The answer is "no". so in other words: it does not contain the bootloader, patition table and stock recovery.

Agree. Mega works fine. I always download MEGA app sign up for 50gb free account, and "IMPORT" the file over to my account, and then download from my account to minimize traffic issue with OP's MEGA account. Downloading via MEGA apps is much better than through web browser which is doable if you choose "DESKTOP VERSION" of the mobile web browser.
O.T. How do I root this stock rom. On the original "fastboot" stock rom install of NPJS25-93-14-4, I can "fastboot" install the rom, install ElementalX 1.04 stock type kernel, and SuperSU 2.82 zip in TWRP 3.1.0.0 and works fine for root. This rom however does NOT like ElementalX and won't boot with it. It won't boot with SuperSU 2.82 alone without ElementalX kernel either requiring restoring "boot" partition via TWRP to boot.
I'm on XT1644, Moto G4 Plus, Verizon carrier, 4gb/64gb, 128gb SDXC

I have no idea what can be the reason. I am emptying my phone now and will give it a try.
Hi,
@HueyT: rooting works fine here. Her's what i did in detail. Let me know if it worked for you also.
-flash rom
-boot rom and go through initial setup
-boot to recovery and flash Elemental
-reboot to rom (i dont knwo if this and next step can be avoided)
-reboot to recovery
-Flash Magisk V12
-reboot to rom
-install Magisk Manager 3.1.1
-open Magisk manager
-open a filemanager. it will ask for root.
Writing to /system won't work but it has nothing to do with this rom particular. All debloated stock roms have the same problem.

It's always better to go back to Nougat Stock like this, make sure all sensors, GPS, 2G/3G/4G/WiFi work and then flash custom rom, Gapps, and root.

What are you trying to achieve, are you trying to update your modem or are you trying to flash back to the stock/near stock Motorola ROM?
Yes i wanna flash this rom using custom recovery....so should i download modem or full zip
I read that custom ROM apply their own recovery. Does this mean I cannot use TWRP with the custom rom?
No ,TWRP is best and you can flash any rom with it
It is not neccessary to use the recovery mentioned in the flash instruction
