Need help with e3 recovery

I tried flashing an MIUI rom with e3 recovery and I got an error message about signature unverified or something similar. I'm just wondering is there any way I can verify the file, or should I just try CWM recovery? It's my friend's phone btw. Any help will be appreciated.
MIUI is a custom rom! U gotta use cwm for flashing it! Stock recovery does not support flashing of custom roms!

Flashing Roms doesnt affect your sd card partions but the apps and data in the 2nd partion which is the ext partion should be wiped using wipe data from your recovery (this will be mentioned in the flashing instructions of the rom anyway). And now the kernels, it is not necessary to flash another kernel if you are good with the current one, but if you plan to replace it in future with some other kernel then flash the stock firmware first then root then flash kernel then the custom rom as changing kernels from custom roms sometimes removes superuser access. I hope you are all clear now and anyway, a suggestion..using swap will burn your sd due to frequent read and write cycles.
Thanks! a little more please...

Thanks a lot for your reply... The techno duos rom is pre rooted... And it is written in instructions that I hav to flash kernel after booting into the new rom... I am.currently on iDuos kernel for using Swapper... But now as u say... i am going to revert to stock one.... So i will now first deactivate swapper.... then flash stock kernel by cwm... then flash techno duos rom... then TD kernel... is it right???

Well.. I would recommend to flash stock firmware then custom kernel then custom rom as 'pre rooted' just means that it got SU app amd its binaries pre installed but the root access really counts on the kernel. Unless the kernel is pre rooted, its better to play safe by flashing custom ketnel before the Rom which will save you from flashing everything again if SU doesn work.

Well.. Its literally not possible..or its too difficult as .zip files cannot be found. Odin is like the Ultimate thing.. you will know what I mean as you go tweaking your device. Well.. its not hard to know about Odin and how it works.. Check the link and well if you want then search and download rom for your region.

[Q] what happened?

DEVICE : SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT GT S5670
CURRENT ROM : GB 2.3.6 STOCK
I rooted my device a long time ago..but flashed the recovery few days ago only.
So here's what happened?
i flashed "AMON-RA RECOVERY"..then found it to be old.
then tried to flash the "TJ-STYLE RECOVERY" ...BUT SOMEHOW IT DIDN'T WORKED and ODIN was taking very much time.
so aborted and then flashed "PRATYUSH.CREED 'S RECOVERY"... as mentioned in the guide in the forum that this could backup the STOCK ROM.
THEN as mentioned in the guide i took a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom ...(didn't knew the backup was successful or not)..
after creating the backup i tried to flash OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 NIGHTLY.ZIP but the process ended very quickly notifying of successfull flashing...
instead when i rebooted after showing the sumsung animation the Device got hungup at a black screen with android written on it at a little right.
then i tried to restore the NANDROID BACKUP...but the recovery showed MD5 ERROR..
I thought may be a unlocked BOOTLOADER is required ..i googled it but couldn't find the procedure...
i then downloaded and flashed a STOCK_GB_2.3.6.tar.md5 rom..
this worked BUT REPLACED THE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY WITH STOCK RECOVERY
.
.
.
NOW THE QUESTIONS :​
1.why wasn't the NANDROID BACKUP successful ?​
2.why didn't the OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 worked ?​
3.how can i unlock the BOOT LOADER if it is required for the CUSTOM ROMS ?​
4.why the CUSTOM CLOCKWORK MOD got replaced by the STOCK RECOVERY on reflashing with stock rom ?​
help me ...

i m a complete noob, but i will try to help u as much as possible ...
i think,there was a prob with flashing of custom recovery,
i m also on custom recovery (dunno which one) i flashed it as flashable zip frm recovery {i think i installed tj style fr odin then flashed the present recovery }
Also, wen u flash stock rom, u need to root it again ..
nondroid problem? mayb due to recovery problem ..
bootloader thing? sorry i dont knw anything bootloader thing ...
If i were u, i will first install tj style recovery from odin(it roots ur phone too, so no need to root it first) then either use it(its said to b most stable recovery around) or flash another recovery as flashable zip frm the present recovery ...
(i will avoid using odin fr each nd every thing ...)
Hope this helps ^^

HOW WOULD I DO THAT..?
means the tj-style recovery i have is in TAR format...
should i UNcompress and recompress it in ZIP format... ?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES COULD BE FOR THE ODIN ?
1) Nandroid Backup works only for custom roms. For stock roms u can only take a backup but u cant restore (there's a recovery by pratyush.creed which does restore too but i didn't try so can't say)
2)Perhaps u didn't flash properly so it went into bootloop. Use CWM by TJ-style only and next time, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and format /system just as a precautionary step before flashing custom rom.
3)Samsung Phones doesn't have locked bootloaders. So to flash a rom, u can do it easily
4) The stock rom u flash via ODIN contains stock recovery as well.
U cant flash recovery unless u have other custom recovery (well there is a flashable zip for CWM by tjstyle but i dont know whether it can be flashed via stock recovery). The only way u can do is through ODIN. Make sure ODIN is set properly and if u have windows 7, run it as administrator and better reinstall drivers.

[Q] Do I have to flash a specific Kernel before flashing CM 10.1??

I'm wondering if I have to flash a specific Kernel before flashing custom roms ( CM specifically ). My device is P3110 running stock 4.1.2 . Any help will be much appreciated, thanks guys.
Edit: Does flashing the CM Rom zip file flash the newest CM kernel or should I flash it manually?

You never want to flash a kernel before flashing a rom because the rom will over write the kernel when it installs its own. If you want a custom kernel flash it right after flashing the rom.
All roms come with their own kernel.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
Thanks

That's exactly what I needed to know, I have another android device ( Xperia mini pro ) and every time I need to install a custom rom, I have to flash its kernel first. Here it seems like flashing the rom via recovery also flashes the kernel. Thanks for the help appreciated.

The CM zip file has everything it needs. You just need to have a recovery ROM to be able to install CM from recovery. Additionally, you might want to reset various things from recovery before installing CM. Notice that if you reset the internal sdcard you will lose all your data (which might or might not be what you want).

[Q] Xperia L kitkat wifi not work

Hello,
I'm running this custom rom and first i tried use the kernel Phantom-Kernel-v12 and after i tried the kernel ThunderZap, but the bolth kernels the wifi don't work.

Its a common thing when you first time flash kernel.
My solution. (and it works)
Flash kernel true flash tools.... ( thunder icon then flash fastboot then flash kernel.....you must extract the kernel zip then flash only his ,,boot.img,,)
IMPORTANT: BEFORE WHIPPING YOUR ROM PUT YOUR ZIP KERNEL FOLDER INTO YOUR INTERNAL DATA!!!
When you flash the kernel turn on your phone...wait while LED lamp is on then start tapping or hold volume button up on your phone.
Then you will enter into recovery.
True recovery flash new custom rom.....
When ROM install you wont have wi fi (not yet)
SOLUTION PART: Turn off your phone again then on,enter recovery and FLASH KERNEL AGAIN!!!
FIXED!
