To remove any sort of further errors, I think you should reinstall stock firmware and then try CWM again.

2) enter mount and storage option
3 and format all the options..
/cache
/data
/system
/sd-ext
4) reboot recovery..and...
done!..flash new rom as you wish..

[Q] Help cyanogenmod boot animation

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S III, new, just followed the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914,
I used Rom Manager and tried to flash CM 10 from my external sd card and I got the following error message:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed"
from this point I was able to reboot the phone and the phone worked fine (with touchwiz and original android 4.0.4).
I then used EZ Rom from this tutorial to try to accomplish the same thing (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)
I selected CWM 6.0.1 and it allowed me to select the nightly CM 10 zip file I had put on the external sd,
I then installed from sd the gapps from the same tutorial.
All appeared to be normal and I then rebooted the phone and now all it will do is show the cyanogenmod boot animation.
I have tried taking out the battery and restarting it but that does not fix things, I still get the cyanogenmod boot animation and nothing else.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Sorry, I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
Regards,
M
Also, I believe I had accomplished rooting and unlocking correctly with the exception of no audio "Unlocked" message--that is, I only got a "your phone is unlocked" message on screen when I used the unlock app. I did not get the audio as the tutorial said I would.

First off, thank you kintwofan for taking the time to help me, I appreciate it.
So I pulled the battery, held volume up+home key+pwr and was able to get into recovery,
I selected data reset
Now when I boot up the phone the cyanogenmod boot animation appears and I get a message "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped and I can select ok
then I get a message set up wizard has stopped.
should I pull the battery and try to install from sd card the CM10 nightly zip file again?
Thanks,

I would say go back to recovery. Factory reset again, under advanced wipe dalvik cache and under mounts wipe system. The flash cm10 and I gapps again. By the way what gapps do you have?

I did the factory reset, then wiped dalvik cache, then I chose format/system under wipes and mount.
I then installed from external sd the CM10 nightly
I did not install the gapps zip file this time,
and rebooted.
now the phone boots up and and appears relatively normal (compared to my Galaxy nexus)
the android version says 4.2.1
However, there is no service, it does not connect to verizon.
if i make the screen black then hit power, the message at the bottom of the phone says "no sim card" but my sim card is installed (haven't taken it out at all)
What should I do next (can't tell you how much I appreciate this--I will pay you!!)

I can see that the gapps file was not for android 4.2.1 but rather 4.1
so starting over with the factory data reset etc, will report back soon, fyi i found a gapps for 4.2.1 here (http://goo.im/devs/PureMod/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20121130-4.2.1-signed.zip

I've successfully got the correct gapps on the phone now, but no service, it says no sim card
I took the sim out and re installed but no luck there, searched the forums and not successful at seeing a fix either,
any suggestions here?

[Q] HTC one accidentally factory reset/wipe from bootloader

I think I may have screwed up pretty big, but hopefully someone can help me out. I unlocked the bootloader on the HTC one, was trying to install the updateSU.zip but it was not showing up in the SD card in clockwordmod. I accidentally did a factory reset and now I can't get passed the HTC logo screen and I don't have anything backed up. I can still get into clockwordmod but I'm not sure how to undo this. I have tried searching about similar problems but it gets confusing on other phones when people start talking about external SD card slots. I think I can still side load roms through the all in one kit, but I am not sure. Any help would be much appreciated, I am so sad!

If you can access the recovery than your good. All you have to do now is to flash ROM supported by the installed kernel or flash another kernel and ROM.
If you're aiming on recovering some data then I'm afraid I have to burst your bubble because factory reset wipes all user data.

Alright, thanks for the reply. I am not concerned about user data, I just want to be able to use the phone at this point. I am not rooted yet, I can't seem to install the zip file. Would I be able to flash another kernel and ROM? or do I have to wait until the factory RUU is available?

You can try flashing a custom kernel and a custom ROM. If you've successfully unlocked your bootloader then you should be able to do it without any trouble.
Also how do you mean you can't install a custom ROM from the SD card? Does it write out any errors?

I can't install a rom from the SD card, when I look into "install zip from SD card" it isn't there. I put the .zip file into the internal memory before it got soft bricked and it never showed up in clockworkmod. I don't know how to access the internal memory now, so I tried side loading the zip with the all in one program, and it starts and says it finished, but it just stays at the HTC logo screen. I tried waiting for about 12 minutes and it never booted up.

Have you tried mounting the USB storage from CWM while connected to your PC? You could transfer the zip onto the SD card that way.
But anyway, if the installed ROM wont boot up then it is most likley due to the fact that you're trying to run it on a kernel it does not support.

You could also sideload the ROM if that is an option in CWM (I use TWRP)

I tried to sideload the custom rom Orio on the HTC one but it gets a kernel error at the end.
As soon as clockworkmod pops up I get
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I am also using clockworkmod v6.0.3.0

HTC released the kernel source code for the HTC one on their websitefor some carriers, but mine isn't out yet (sprint). Is that what I need to get it back to factory rom?

I found some RUU files for the HTC one (M7) at android files RUU website, it shows Asian and European files but no North American or US yet. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but it would be nice to start from scratch, or at least be useable.

I'm going through the same thing.. I accidently managed wiped everything on the phone when rooting and trying for S-Off. which i managed to achieve it all, until i saw "TAMPERED" atop of unlocked. That's when i tried to get rid of it and somewhere in that process, I fukt **** up... Now it seems I'm hooped.. Phone just goes to bootloader or fastboot, or whatever's on the screen.. I even used the All in One Kit to try and push a recovery countless times.. Don't know the command to push recovery or n e thing else to device... When i try, "Device not found" is what i get.. Just trying not to take it back, but looks like i may have too... If there's any in sight on this, that'll be awesome.... Cheers

[Q] E:signature verification failed -- in System Recovery

I tried to run CWM in System Recovery but everytime I try to install a ZIP file I get:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I read over several posts on this subject but cannot figure it out.
I have:
Samsung Infuse
Gingerbread - installed after I had bricked my phone - UCLB3_Unbrick_root_1.1.zip
My Android Recovery Menu is blue - <3e>
When in my phone, I can run Terminal and get a Linux prompt - so I assume that means its rooted.
Wanting to get CWM.zip installed so I can go on to installing ICS and then on to JB.
Any ideas on how to get passed this roadblock?
Thanks
Carl

Some stuff is mirrored luckily...

My SM-G355H (Galaxy Core 2) always shows failed to mount error whenever I turn it on.

I installed the my mobile's original firmware using the Odin tool. The installation was successful. After a while a system update came and I decided to install it. During the installation, the installation got stuck at 51% and after waiting for a long time I had no other choice but to take the battery out. After that I turned my phone on and I got "failed to mount /system (invalid argument)" and I am not getting the recovery options like factory reset, wipe cache partition, reboot system. I tried to install the firmware again and again but still I am getting this screen (screen shot attached) and I tried searching every where but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Well, that looks bad to me. You should try using the phone pit, tick re partition, tick nand erase and it might work.
