Default problem installing rom from fresh root

I am trying to install the ozzey ROM on my incredible I just got it and rooted it. I have Rom managr, astro file viewer and titanium backup installed. I know I can do it via update.zip or Rom manager but it always fails and says signature verification failed. I triple checked the file to see that it was in .zip not .zip.zip I had windows show the hidden file extensions. In Rom manager it says whole file verification failed along with signature file. Astro file viewer shows it as update and on the root of the SD card but still get the error. I haven't done nand unlock or backup, and I don't care about looking any apps its a new phone with nothing on it. Any suggestions or method instructions? Does the SD card have to be fat32? My SD card is the 2gb pny card. Thanks!

You should just be able to use the .zip, put it anywhere on your sd card. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (If you flashed the new recovery using reflash.exe from unrevoked), DO A NANDROID BACKUP (this is a full system backup), format the user data and cache partition (both options), select update with a .zip and select your preferred .zip file (in your case ozzeh's)

See here for more information and any questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220

If you do not have clockwork recovery you're not going to be able to flash a ROM. You need to use the reflash tool before you can flash any ROMS.

It's not clear from your posts exactly what your error is. You say you have Clockworkmod Recovery installed but you keep referencing trying to flash from ROM Manager.

What happens when you boot into Recovery and try to flash the zip file from there?

I instaleld Clockworkmod from ROM Manager, 2.0.1.3 is the verison of clockworkmod I have installed on the phone. I then use ROM Manager to install ROM SD card and it fails, it says signature verification failed and whole-file verification failed. I booted into it and it says it can't find the file in /cache/ and it says verification failed so it aborts and reboots.

You might want to try a different rom and see how it goes.

That makes no sense. You can't flash CWM Recovery from ROM Manager on the Incredible (although you can update a prior install, sort of); you have to use unrevoked's tool.

I thought I remember reading in some thread that ROM Manager going to clockworkmod will not work because there is no write access.

You will have to use recovery reflash tool to install the clockworkmod recovery and boot into it.

You can find that information in this thread:
