I rooted my phone using petes tools then i tried installing the liberty rom but i cant get it. I downloaded it and rebooted into recovery mode and tried to install the rom but it asks me to install sd card then it fails.

finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted


I took the 2 gb sd card i had from my incredible i dont know if that has anything to do with it. Can anyone help me with what im doing wrong?

Are you flashing it using your computer or do you have clockworkmod and flashing from the sd card?

how are you trying to install this? all you need to do is just put the sdcard phone and format it, but make sure you have moved everything off of it to your pc, format the card, and then add everything back

I like the idea of reformatting your SD card (be sure you back up your important stuff on your pc), once that is done unplug it from the computer and your notification bar should say "preparing SD card"... meaning its creating all the folders it has to. Just for fun re-download the liberty .zip just to make sure it wasn't a bad download as that sort of thing happens from time to time. Transfer it to the root of your SD card, Reboot recovery, wipe userdata/dalvik/cache 3x, then flash.

There is an option somewhere in the recovery menus that allows you to turn off signature verification if you still run into that issue, although I don't remember having to do that when I flashed liberty. Don't give up you're almost there.

I'm trying to download it from rom manager, I've reformatted and erased everything on the sd card. I've download liberty and copied it to my sd card. Where should i go from here? I've tried doing it from rom manager with flash clockworkmod or whatever, and have tried rebooting into recovery but it doesn't really seem to work. When I reboot into recovery and try to install the update from sd card then try and install the liberty package i get an error it aborts. I wish someone could just show me how to do this heh

i've also flashed clockworkmod recovery from rom manager and have tried downloading superuser 3.0.7 straight from rom manager and when it says reboot into recovery mode it just reboots my phone and doesnt take me into the recovery.

you need droid x/2 bootstrapper from koush, without that, you can potentially soft brick your device

i never use rom manager to download anything, as it usually becomes corrupt in some way, just download everything from the rom and theme list in the sticky at the top of the dx all things root forum

if you wiped data and cache, then yes it can take up to 5 minutes to load, if you get the liberty spinning logo, just wait, if it never comes up
boot to stock recovery and wipe data and cache

Good to hear! Just use rom manager to update/flash recovery... don't download anything else with it.

Have fun with liberty, there are a TON of options to play around with and customize. I think I spent a whole day just tinkering with it.

While you have a fresh install make a nandroid backup in recovery so you can go back to it just in case anything goes wrong.
