Hello,
My device is an HTC Inspire 4G running android 2.3.5 with cwm v5.8.1.5.
I just got my phone activate on straight talk wireless and within an hour of doing so, my phone alerted me there was an update to install, and needed to reboot.
The phone shuts off and then CWM pops up and tries to install the update, only to fail and give me a signature verification error, and an aborted install.
I figured no big deal, I'll just reboot and forget about it. Only now every time my phone boots up, it runs normally for a minute and then pops up the installation dialog and automatically shuts down, only to reboot into CWM for the install to abort again. Every time, without fail.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do about this. I can't find any information even remotely related to my problem. Maybe I just don't know the right string of keywords for the search. Anyway, any help will be immensely appreciated.
Update: I was able to recover an old image and at least make the phone useable again, but it's once again notified me that At&t has an update for me. I chose to postpone it this time, but I'm still at a loss as to how to handle this. I don't want to just keep clicking to postpone the update, but I can't allow it until I figure out why CWM is aborting the install.

I have been trying to add a rom to my lg optimus-t for pretty much the whole afternoon. I rooted it fine but when I tried to install AmunRa to make a recovery but that failed that was ok though since the ROM I ended up choosing asked for a different recovery system. The ROM I chose to use ciaox's openoptimus build
So I installed ROM Manager and did a recovery with clockwork mod, everything seemed fine until I loaded the clockworkMod and got E: bad boot message "recovery" I decided to continue anyways and followed the steps and when I finished part one it actually booted up, but I was unable to see any icons. All I was able to see was the lock screen and the network manager bar at the top.
There is a second part so I thought maybe if I went through all of the steps it would fix itself. It was all going great until I got to phase 2 #16 because it just wouldn't do it and the error message I got was "you cannot program the qcsbl header without the partition". in my infinite wisdom (dun dun dun) I decided to re-install everything, went to the recovery file and nothing happened, said it didn't exist. I had the rom so I decided to wipe the phone again and re-install it, now it doesn't even load and I realized I should have stopped to re-install somethings in the beginning.
Thankfully the clockworkMod recovery still boots and I have all functionality there(Well except for the recovery), so is there anyway for me to get 2.2 and install that into my phone to start all over again? A quick answer would be awesome, sorry for the novel, TIA.
Edit: got the rom up and running again, but I am back at the :"The Application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" stage where I get the full unlock screen and the top bar that work, the emergency dialer still works as well. I tried doing phase2 again and following the instructions, but the phone goes into emergency mode and shuts off. At this point I'm thinking of trying another more simple ROM where I dont have to change the basebands, does that sound like a good idea?
Anyone had a problem updating to 651.167.26.en.EU??
I've tried to update (many times), the phone shuts down starts the install, gets about half way then reboots. When it does reboot I get a message saying the update failed. I've even done a factory reset (which I hated) but now joy. Grrrrr
Has anyone had this issue and have you manage to solve it??
Also does anyone know what location the phone saves the update to?
Perhaps you're lucky it failed because I am having the following problem after the update:
After updating wireless is stuck and won't either turn on or off.. in settingsmenu on the wlan activate button it just says "error" in the second line. on push it says "activating" for some time the drops back to error. So my question: Does anyone else have this an what can I do to correct this?
PS: Moto Support just says Factory reset but there is upfront no way I am doing this without having tried anything else..
You could always just root it and install a custom rom. My app will will root it in 1 click.

I've had Cyanogenmod 9 nightlies on my SGS2 since April. I didn't install every single one, but pretty much only those with good ratings, specifically those that had no complains about battery drain and heating...
Currently on the 06-28-2012 nightly. This ran fine at first, but over time, it started to occasionally crash into Kernel Panic. I figured I'd just pick a new nightly, but then I ended up having to travel and installation of a new nightly got delayed.
Now I'm home, and I can't use the phone at all, cause it crashes into Kernel Panic almost as soon as I unlock the screen after Android finishes booting. The last thing I see up in the message bar is "WhatsApp error" and the screen goes dark. It won't stay on long enough for me to uninstall WhatsApp or select factory reset from the system menu.
I don't think its a problem with WhatsApp, cause WhatsApp used to run fine, while Kernel Panics originally mainly seemed to happen after I got a "storage full" message. In response, I deleted a load of pictures after rebooting, to make sure there's free space, but it kept crashing occasionally, till now, its just unusable.
I've tried to flash a stock Samsung ROM (I9100XWLPG_I9100XXLPX_I9100NEELP4_HOME.tar.md5) but that hasn't been working either.
Kies drivers are installed on my Laptop. Odin sees the phone too.
I followed the instructions from the rom page, changed no settings in Odin, just picked PDA and selected the ROM.
Odin goes "Added" when I plug in the phone, verifies the ROM, then the whole thing hangs on "setting up connection"
So I unplug, pull the battery and then reboot, which works fine, but once booted, it won't stay on longer than a few seconds.
Anyway, does anyone have any clever ideas how I can get out of this Kernel Panic loop?

What's preventing you from factory resetting from recovery?
Lack of knowledge is preventing me!
How do you factory reset from the "Kernel Panic Download Mode"...?
Download Android Commander from here:
http://androidcommander.com/
Boot your phone, don't unlock.
Start Android Commander, navigate to /data/apps and delete WhatsApp's apk (com.whatsapp1.apk or something like that) or rename it to .apk.bak
Restart your phone without unlocking.
Hope the errors gone.
So I've been running KitKat via CM11 nightlies for quite a while now and about every other week the I lose signal and have to reflash stock. I Use Razr Utility (http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-verizon-droid-razr-and-droid-razr-maxx-only/) to flash stock, get signal, reroot, and reinstall SafeStrap. Have done it I think like 80 times or so now.
Today when I did it, when I pressed start at the Setup Wizard it said "Preparing may take a few minutes ... blah blah" then it reboots. I rebooted and tried again, over and over it won't get past the language selection, and if I leave it alone for a few minutes w/o pressing anything it will reboot on its own still; it continually reboots over and over. Also I am no longer getting service back on a fresh stock flash. I have tried 1.8/1.82/newest of RAZR Utility, all received the same result. So I tried House of Moto with 2 different VZW firmwares (2 newest JB) and still same result.
I was able to get root w/o having to mess with Smart Actions and then use ADB w/ su and PM to disable all the setupwizard BS so I could install SS and get back to CM11. (Setup Wizard is locked and no way to bypass, even tried build.prop tweaks to turn it off and nothing) Now on CM11 it is liking to randomly reboot whenever it feels like it too; that is if it even boots back into CM11 after rebooting, sometimes it makes it all the way to CM11, sometimes it doesn't.
Does anyone know WTF is going on with my device and how to fix it. I'm going to try and get a new SIM tomorrow and see my SIM fried or something (though I never received the "No SIM" error). I'm honestly about to chuck this phone through the friggin wall....
Update: Was finally able to get CM11 to stop rebooting, upgraded to newest nightly and wiped Dalvik & Cache, and Fix Permissions. Signal has sort of come back, it goes in and out; very finicky.
Update 2: Service is completely gone and can't get it back now.
Last week on Thursday, I allowed Verizon to install their Software Update 21 (April 2020.) It made it as far as the going through the optimizing apps and then was stuck in a boot loop. The phone would be usable for about a minute, then would freeze, and then reboot. If I clicked on the System Update option in settings, it would say that a system update was in progress. I chatted with Verizon, and they ended up telling me that the only way to stop the update was to do a factory reset, which I am doing everything I can not to do that as I don't want to lose my data.
I changed it into maximum power mode and it did stop the update for that time being and I was able to use the phone, texting, etc. This allowed me to at least connect the phone to my computer to backup all of the directories. After many reboots, on Friday it finally stopped doing the update and gave me an error which I think was 410. It thought it was updated, though did show as failed. When checking for updates, it said it was the current version. Twice I was able to get the phone to stop by freezing when going to the app and stopping some programs (sadly, I was not able to remember the exact combination that worked) which allowed me to use the phone like normal. All this while, I was uninstalling a large amount of the apps that I had installed hoping that would minimize whatever may have been causing the problem.
Went to each of the google and samsung apps, stopped, disable, and reverted them all back to factory defaults. Guess that was a bad idea, from then on I received an error as soon as the phone started which caused it to go directly into recovery mode. I chatted with samsung and they thought it might be a hardware issue. I still think it is related to their software update, so not a hardware issue.
By using Odin, I loaded the firmware from March 2020, and when it rebooted, it did go as far as optimizing the apps, though anytime it booted up, it would never get past the white verizon loading screen. It took me hours before I discovered that Odin was failing to load the firmware on the phone as the Windows 10 laptop only had USB 3.0 ports which don't always work with Odin, and ended up being successful using my old Windows XP laptop as the USB 2.0 ports worked fine. After a bit hanging on the verizon loading screen, it would reboot and never went past. I have been able to load the March and April 2020, though none of them will ever get past that white verizon loading screen. I did see something say that in loading TWRP, I could possibly do a full backup of the phone which is what I would like to do.
One time I only loaded the AB file for a different version than I had loaded, and it was the first time it went beyond the white screen, only to tell me that the verification failed and it would need for me to do a factory reset. I was able to reboot the phone without actually doing the reset.
I have read many posts here and the forums on androidcentral, and with so many things, I really needed to post to get guidance from people here that can point me in the right direction for any other things that I can try. As you have read, doing everything that I can to get the phone working by keeping my data. Any help would really be appreciated.
