Root Flashing a ROM and getting errors

[salabanzi]

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this but I recently got a nexus S and tried flashing a ROM on my nexus S. It's rooted already but I keep on getting errors like "E:signature verification failed" and "E:failed to verify" Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

The Nexus S has protections in place that reverts a Custom Recovery image back to the stock recovery whenever you power off the phone. Each time you want to flash a new ROM, you need to reflash the custom recovery first.

There are methods for setting up scripts to flash the custom images every time the phone boots if you'll be trying out a lot of new ROMs. Search on XDA for that.

Guys,

I've moved this thread to the all-things-root sub-forum.

Cheers!
