Help needed please!
I'm trying to install Dexters Mod update and I keep getting the same results, it reads:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Formatting misc...
I've formatted my SD card. I've tried renaming the file with a capital U, lowercase u, etc. I've wiped the unit....nothing works.
My SD card worked fine when I installed the Elocity update from their website.
What am I doing wrong? I really want to get that Marketplace installed....
Thanks for your help!
Did you do it from Recovery menu? It's necessary.

Hi, I need help with this too, I really want the market on my elocity. Thanks

Yes, I did it from the System Update option which puts the unit into the recovery menu. That's the correct way, yes?
It looks like all the Mod files from this site are damaged or corrupted...? I run a test on the download on my computer and there appears to be issues with the download. Has anyone else had this problem???
Any help is greatly appricated. Thanks!
I had trouble with the install also: i was able to enter the recovery mode but it would recognize the update then i would see the android logo and box with arrow then nothing from there this happened several times. I left the card in the unit turned it off then back on , then went to the system update and chose to update , which it did and rebooted then was locked in an Elocity loop. I reset the unit and the market and everything was there. I might of been close to bricking it ,but it works now. Be careful

Sounds like your downloaded zip file was corrupted - this happens often. Try downloading it again and then try to install after that.

This is quite normal. boot loop happens to 90% of users. Its well documented in the development thread. The Android logo you saw is also expected. From there, you're supposed to hit the Menu soft key and use the other soft keys to navigate the recovery console. Also well documented in the development thread.

Thanks sagggas. I've tried to download it about 20 times and I get the same problem. When I run a test on the downloaded zip file my computer says it may be corrupted or incomplete. I don't get it. It's as if the something is wrong with the file, but others seem to have made it work. Any suggestions please??? I'm almost ready to get rid of this device....but since this is the only problem I've had I'm torn!

GetRight Download Manager
Hi
This reminds of a problem I had downloading a large software program a while back. Many people were having the same problem with corrupt files. The company recommended using a download manager called GetRight.
It worked great! It is free to use and you can get it at:
http://getright.com/get.html
Let us know if it works for you.

Jazzbone, that download manager worked perfectly! Once I was able to download the Dexter Mod without it getting corrupted the install went very smoothly.
Thank you sooo much for that suggestion! I can't wait to see what this tablet can do now.
Having the same problem. I did check out the website, but I saw nothing for Android,

The getright manager is software for your PC to help you download large files from the internet. In our case, the functionality would then allow us to copy the newly downloaded file (apparently with a lower frequency of corruption) from our PC to our SD cards for use in our Android devices.

I have to agree with the corupted file because you really are not able to brick the phone unless there was a failed install on the bootloader, at least from what I have seen and you would not be doing this already. I would re-download the NBH file and then you should be able to flash it back to RC29.

I've only had my phone a couple of weeks and I kept running into corrupt or missing files and some tutorials that were incomplete. I went here http://i.gizmodo.com/5146797/how-to-hack-android-for-multitouch-web-browsing-on-the-t+mobile-g1 and used every file they had / linked to. Now I not only have multitouch, but I am wifi tethering on 3g while I'm typing this. A couple things I found all caps for DREAIMG.NBH and it helps if you know a little dos/linux.

I have done all the proper step in formatting to FAT32. Now i cannot go anywhere but to try and update the DREAIMG.nbh or to the red green blue and white screen. PLEASE HELP WHAT DO I DO.

Just attempted this and it went terribly wrong
everything was okay until it tried pushing the logo to my sdcard (which failed with "permission denied") - it then said it couldn't copy the file from sdcard because it didn't exist.
I proceeded to unmount the sdcard from the phone and try it again which seemed to work. I shut the phone down and when I attempted to turn it back on it just remained off... I was able to get into download mode with odin 1-click and flash to stock (thank God).
- Serendipity 5.7
- I9000 .rar package
- logo_ATNT.jpg < 20K
was it the unmounting that did the trick? and can I just manually move the file onto /mnt/sdcard/ and edit the .bat file to skip the push?
Worked perfectly for me I love the nexus boot screen with my nexus boot animation Thank you connexion

I'm not sure but it sounds like you didn't make sure that busy box was installed. As for not turning back on, I'm surprised at that. I soft bricked a vibrant building the vibrant files and got out of it but that was my fault pulling the usb cable out accidentally before ODIN was done. The answer to your question is yes, you can just flash the param.lfs tar file, verify busy box apk is installed and so is busy box, then just manually move the file. The script is built for simplicity. I'm sorry you had trouble.

Also, you did let the phone try to boot for a sec right? In some cases when you don't have a boot screen after the flash you won't get a dirty pixel screen but it will be black for the 5-10 seconds it attempts to show you whats there. I just want to make sure you were not prematurely turning the phone off.

yeah, i attempted to turn back on twice (hold power for about 3-4 seconds, wait about 10) after it seemingly succeeded - I pulled battery in between jic.
the .bat file said busybox install failed because it was already installed... how else can I verify that bb is installed?
I'm going to try again once I get another ROM back on my phone because I really want to get at&t off my phone
thanks for your hard work and responses
this was going to be my boot image if anyone wants to use

That will install the application on the phone. But, before you finish the rest of the batch script, you must open the app on the phone and make sure it's installed. It will look and tell you. If it's not click install busybox. When it's done, continue with the batch script. I'd start fresh also btw. Reflash with ODIN on the tar package then launch the script.

Hah, no problem, we all do
ok i recently got a european open to all networks samsung galaxy tab,
now i decided to install a custom rom last night with horrible results, my phone is now stuck on the samsung boot screen and will not load properly,
here are the steps i took that ended me up in this mess,
i installed rom manager from android market,
then installed clockwork mod from inside rom manager, following the exact steps i was given but heres where i think i went wrong,
at some point it asked u back up everything onto an sd card, now i thought i had an sd inside it already but i didnt and thats what i think caused all the trouble,
i backed up all my files anyway onto the internal memory b4 goin into recovery mode, after completely wiping the phone as it saids u shud do, i then proceeded to load the modaco rom that i had installed into the "download" section of my memory and thats where it said the exact following words....
Checking /system...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
/system may be rfs. checking...
checking /date...
checking /database...
checking /cache...
filesystems need to be converted to ext4.
a backup and restore will now take place.
if anything goes wrong, your backup will be named before-ext4-convert-1297008631. try restoring it incase of error.
E:failed to mount /sdcrard (no such file or directory)
now i've tried restoring it and backing it up but all it repeats is the same thing, i know i messed up but now all i want to know is how can i fix it?
please any help would be much appreciated.

A brandnew start from scratch with Odin and repartioning with the rom from Rotohammer JMIv1.0 or v2.0 wouldt be my advice. You need the pit-file as well. Can be found on his server.

First extract the P1000XWJJ3.rar. You shouldt be left with a single tar-file?! If so
Well if you have the right files. Start Odin. On the left you see the option 'repartion', tick that box. On the left you see pit. Tick that box and load the pit-file. Tick the box PDA and load the tar.file you extracted.
Start the tablet in download modus and attach it to youre pc. You shouldt see on top left a yellow box. Then just press start in Odin
beware that all on yore tablet will be deleted.
here is a very good guide with pictures.

Ok great. at least you got it working again....
Now you need to flash the baseband-modem that you can find in the download link below. Flash it in Odin. Uncheck repartion. Check 'phone' and load the modemfile you downloaded. Its a tar.file. Leave it as it is. Then press start and the baseband will be installed.
Then you have to set-up the APN from youre telecom-provider and you will be up and running.....

OSM All threads completed ( succeeded 0/ failed 1)
i dont understand why it would say that, could it be cos the .tar is xxjmf and the Rom by roto uses jmi? u think u could help? thanks again honestly, you've been a life saver.

Hey mate, seems I am in a similar predicament here. Just 2 days back I flashed my Tab to Roto JMI v2 from a stock Asian firmware (DDJK3 I suppose) due to a bad Modaco flash that went really bad. Wiped off my data from god knows what areas. Now I am facing an issue that I am not able to understand or solve.
I was using Titanium Backup to remove a system app without Chuck Norris mode, which meant I had to reboot device and it would delete it OS level and say reboot to system. But once I click on reboot system an Exclamation mark just comes across the screen and NOW I CAN'T BOOT INTO my system. neither to i see the options it was earlier showing me upon Pwer + Vol Key up. The only option left for me is to reflash it using Odin.
Any Ideas mate? Reflashing again and again is not the solution right?
Thanks & Cheers!

Well, first of all. Removing system app ad hoc is not really clever to do. But you cant get into the recovery so you are able to clear cache and do a factory-reset? Volume-up+Power on and holding the volume-upbutton untill you get into the recovery?
If not you have to reflash from scratch with Odin. Use the pit/file and check repartion.
Hi out there looking for help with my G2 (D803) . I am new to all this rooting and TWRP stuff but been trying to learn and figure this out. I accepted some update after which the phone only boots into TWRP recovery project v2.6.3.2 now. Looks like I lost everything else (at least that is what I think has happened).
So I have been reading on the forums and learned about using ADB devices and getting the right rom from xda-developers (I am with Telus in Canada) - used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 - downloaded LG support tool and flash tool and drivers for phone and installed them all on the computer.
I first had trouble pushing the rom on to my phone (using ADB devices and ADB push commands) because the phone would just turn off while transferring and I could only regain access when the battery is fully drained (happens really fast now?) and I recharge (which seems to take forever now?).
I took the phone to a store and they did some tweaking (says SIMULATING ACTIONS on the title now below TWRP and version number) after which I could push the ROM (I did rename it on the computer) successfully on to the phone using "ADB push" in command prompt.
I proceeded to install the rom and it says successful but clearly it did not work. What I see is:
Finished running boot script.
E:storage partition '//TWRP/BACKUPS/018bf7ce0f4c6fa0' not found
simulation actions ...
updating partition details ...
but then I reboot and it goes back into TWRP.
I tried going through flashtool as well and followed the steps to install the kdz file but it seems like the computer is not connecting to the phone. But if i go to device manager the device shows and says working properly (i installed the drivers already) and you also hear the beep when plugging in the USB cable into the phone. again it also seems to connect through command prompt because i can push a file successfully.
I am getting worried that I am out of luck with this phone . Can anyone help or provide suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I accepted some update after which the phone only boots into TWRP recovery project v2.6.3.2 now. Looks like I lost everything else (at least that is what I think has happened).
So I have been reading on the forums and learned about using ADB devices and getting the right rom from xda-developers (I am with Telus in Canada) - used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 - downloaded LG support tool and flash tool and drivers for phone and installed them all on the computer.
I first had trouble pushing the rom on to my phone (using ADB devices and ADB push commands) because the phone would just turn off while transferring and I could only regain access when the battery is fully drained (happens really fast now?) and I recharge (which seems to take forever now?).
I took the phone to a store and they did some tweaking (says SIMULATING ACTIONS on the title now below TWRP and version number) after which I could push the ROM (I did rename it on the computer) successfully on to the phone using "ADB push" in command prompt.
I proceeded to install the rom and it says successful but clearly it did not work. What I see is:
Finished running boot script.
E:storage partition '//TWRP/BACKUPS/018bf7ce0f4c6fa0' not found
simulation actions ...
updating partition details ...
but then I reboot and it goes back into TWRP.
I tried going through flashtool as well and followed the steps to install the kdz file but it seems like the computer is not connecting to the phone. But if i go to device manager the device shows and says working properly (i installed the drivers already) and you also hear the beep when plugging in the USB cable into the phone. again it also seems to connect through command prompt because i can push a file successfully.
I am getting worried that I am out of luck with this phone . Can anyone help or provide suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm not entirely sure, but it sounds like everything in TWRP is being simulated, which would mean that no files are actually written. Try going into Settings in TWRP, uncheck the "Simulate actions" checkbox, and run the rom installation again.

Thanks for the reply. It definitely did something because the installation process moves forward now. Now I get:
Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/telus.zip
also when i unclick zip file verification in setting i also see:
checking for MD5 file...
skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
So problem with the zip file? I downloaded it off xda-developers but I renamed the file to Telus.zip and pushed it on to the phone in the sdcard directory.
Download the whole Rom and flash it

Hi,
Was stuck with my HTC Butterfly x920d with the same. Thanks for your guidance, was able to recover.
Foolishly, I had SIMULATE option checked in the recovery settings. Though was able to boot into system but no account, no google & reset stuck into recovery.
Thanks a ton
(I was trying to reset this device for my father)

How do you get into settings when it goes straight to simulating actions?
I've probably messed this thing up just about as badly as I can.
Here's what I can tell you:
Update: I just figured out that you are supposed to put dload onto a separate sd card, So i'll be trying that when the phone comes out of it's coma XD anything else you can suggest is very welcome.
- The phone currently isn't turning on after messing around in twrp(tried to restart into bootloader)
- While trying to get it working, it is now showing up as CAN-L11(likely from trying some backups of others)
- I was unable to use ANY roms I tried. full update files didn't work. always error 7
- It seems in twrp that I'd often get this error: mountencrypt failed to mount /data, despite wiping /data many times
- I've tried using iso files extracted from some update.app, and using that to get system and data on there, as well as recovery too
- I was switching between twrp and default recovery to transfer files and then use dload to try to recover the system, never let me do it though. got to 5% then told me something like: "Getting package info failed". it would do this in the download and recover mode as well when I would hook up to the internet and it would also give me that error.
You are free to ask me any questions about the device.
I think I just need to drain the battery then I should be able to at least get something out of it, but until then, if anyone has any recommendations after it's functional again let me know. Any help is appreciated.

It isn't even charging?

Yeah, that's why. The model name can be changed in build.prop, but you're still using a CAN-L11 ROM though.

You haven't flashed the TWRP mentioned in the first post of their thread, hence you've got that error which is basically telling you that you're trying to flash the ROM on an unsupported device (the phone's codename / model is mentioned in TWRP and ROM checks for it), but actually it's working on all models.
- It seems in twrp that I'd often get this error: mountencrypt failed to mount /data, despite wiping /data many times

That occurs because TWRP doesn't support decryption. You have to format data, not wipe. You can format it from TWRP > Wipe > Format data.

What happened after you've tried that?
- I was switching between twrp and default recovery to transfer files and then use dload to try to recover the system, never let me do it though. got to 5% then told me something like: "Getting package info failed". it would do this in the download and recover mode as well when I would hook up to the internet and it would also give me that error.

Try to unplug the cable from PC. Also, note that I've read in past somewhere that the firmwares from Firmware Finder has to be approved by Huawei and if it isn't, then the stock recovery will fail to flash it. Other Huawei phones has modified / patched stock recovery which allows to flash unapproved firmwares though.

How do you guys end up like this? xD

Hah, here's the answer to the above question: not reading xD. Try to slap the phone to wake it from the coma ahahahah xD. When did it get into coma though?
