[Q] Unable to update CM 11 with new nightly build

[mixty]

Following the instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737497 - I managed to successfully install and use CM 11 on my old HTC Aria. And except for the lack of space, it works beautifully.

(The CyanogenMod version installed on my phone is currently 11-20140614-EXPERIMENTAL-liberty ).

I decided to check for updates and got a notification that a new update was available. I downloaded it through the updater. But when I tried to install it, the installation stopped after the progress bar moved to maybe around 15-20% with the message - "Signature verification failed". I thought maybe the updater messed up the file and downloaded and transferred the file to the phone from my computer and manually tried to install it. But it again failed with the same error. (I downloaded the latest nightly build - cm-11-20140724-NIGHTLY-liberty.zip - from http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/liberty/ )

Is it an issue with the build or am I doing something wrong?

Yes I think it's an issue, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54339665&postcount=53

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I did try downloading directly from the website and updating, but got the same error.

I've actually found that you can install nightly builds from androidarmv6/_builds/liberty by using the recovery-liberty.img located there, but that recovery will not allow you to install gapps - but you CAN "downgrade" that version of cwm back to 6.0.2.8 in order to install gapps.

System is a little flaky, and it looks like some things have been broken in the nightlies....

Sorry, realizing my last post isn't very clear. Basically put, it seems as if the nightlies require the current version of CWM in order to install correctly, whereas gapps requires an older version (6.0.2.8) to install.

I have no idea what the implications of this are, and as I said above, you can change out CWM versions to make it work, but I'm guessing that is going to cause some issues down the line....

Here's some more clarification from Winsuk on the recovery versions:

I haven't gotten around to updating the OP with a recovery, mostly because it still has some bugs and changes I don't like.
