hi,
i managed to create the gold card, root my htc hero and install modaco's rom but i selected the one with chinese input but it is not the chinese input which i wanted,
i tried to put the modaco rom in my sd card and rename it as update,
then boot into recovery mode, and when i click apply update.zip,
error message pop up then there is the ( bad )
it was able to open and extract then the 3rd line, it stopped,
i tried another sd card, but still get the same error message,
can anyone advise what i should do ?
i tried to wipe but still cannot,
please help
i tried to go to settings, then sd card unmount, and tried to format it, no response,
when i tried to apply update.zip
message show :
install from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)
installation aborted
try re-downloading it, might just be a corrupt zip also avoid multi segment download management if downloading zips.
thanks,
i noticed that the file was only 3mb, i downloaded last night and re-installed it and it works,
sorry for causing inconvenience to all

I successfully flashed (cm6) for the first time and got everything working correctly but I can't seem to find the Android Market. Now from what I read I need to install the gapps file. I found it downloaded it straight on the phone. Am at the clockworkmod recovery, but.....how do I install it?
install zip from sd card?
Wont that mess up the ROM
sorry im fairly new to all this.
From Clockwork choose - install zip from sdcard, then - choose zip from sdcard, then browse to where you saved the gapps file and select it. It won't mess up your ROM.

Yes you install the gapps.zip file from Clockworkmod recovery by selecting install zip from sd card. You need to install it from ClockworkMod because all of these Google Apps will be installed in the /apps directory. No this won't mess up the ROM because the structure of the zip file determines what gets written to the various partitions on the phone. The gapps.zip file contains files that will be written to the /apps directory. A ROM zip file will typically have *.img files in it like boot.img as well as files for the /apps directory.
This was a bug in rom manager with gapps. You followed the procedure correctly fyi.

Alright great. Yeah like I said after that weird error message all I did was restart the phone go back into clockwork and install the zip again and there was no error this time around so now I have all the Google Apps. Thanks to everyone for the help.
Hello, I'm learning java in order to be an android developer, but I'm still new to this world.
When I'm trying to reboot into the clockwork recovery from the ROM Manager,
after I'm pressing "reinstall packages",it tells in red:
"
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
"
What is that missing "Update" file, and where or how can I get it?
Thanks
Is your phone rooted yet? ROM manager isn't of much use unless your phone is rooted. To root your phone, if you are running 2.1, google search for "one click root vibrant" and click on the first link and follow the instructions and download the program. Good luck.

Yes, my phone is already rotted by the app "superuser permission".
I have the same problem
and I notice when my phone is connected to my computer my phone's internal storage is labeled "G" and the external SD card is labeled "F"
I was thinking the problem had something to do with the labels. When it fails initially, I can hit the home button and it seems to boot into recovery but then, when I tried to do a backup I also got a failure.
I don't have an external SD card...
What is that missing update.zip file?

the update.zip file is either the ROOT file you download and place on the internal card to gain root access through stock recovery.
it happened to me once... i had the update. zip file and deleted it.. i guess it was the root file.. so re downloaded it and put it back on the sd card and reinstalled pkgs and it was good.. try finding the root file and putting it back on your sd card
if you are looking for the cwm recovery update.zip I uploaded it, its in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893824
but you should be able to just get it from rom manager, but whatever if it isn't working, you can get the update.zip from above.
that isn't the update.zip to root your phone, thats to get into cwm recovery.
In the rom manager app, tell it to flash cwr. And the tell it to reboot into recovery. Select reinstall packages, may need to choose that twice before it takes.

So, i am trying to load this new ROM (the Vicious rom). I go into clockwork recovery & select install zip from sdcard, then i choose zip from sdcard, & instead of loading the new rom it says: Finding Update package, opening update package, installing update package, then it is complete....how do i get it to load the rom?
additional info:
I cannot install any ROM now, it runs through this short update process I explained above. Am I missing something that allows the rom to be loaded?
That's how roms are installed. Did you reboot after you installed the rom?
i had issues with clockwork so i used team win recovery here-- http://www.mediafire.com/?ye85b3n1f72nen3
Maybe try this one and see if it helps just put on root of sd card
make sure it is named PG05IMG.ZIP go into the bootloader
by shutting down phone rstarting by holding down volume arrow then power till it comes up in bootloader and do the update

Either you are choosing apply sdcard:update.zip accidentially instead of "install zip from sdcard" or you still have a PG05IMG on your sdcard? If you still have that img on your card, you will have to hook your phone up to your computer > boot into recovery > mounts and storage > mount sdcard > enable usb and find that IMG and delete it. Then go back do your wipes, and install zip from sdcard.
Try redownloading the ROM in case it may have been corrupted during the original download.
Hey all, I posted this on CM's forums as well but haven't gotten any replies so I figured I'll try this forum as well. I'm a new to mod installations so forgive if some of these questions are redundant/plain stupid. I figure it's better to ask a stupid question though, than to brick my phone.
Anyways, here goes:
So I have installed ClockworkMod (free) and created a recovery.
I copied a stable version of CM into my root folder (update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS2-signed.zip)
Now to install it do I go into ROM Manager, and under ROM Management select "Install ROM from SD Card"? Then check off the 3 options and hit ok, and reboot into recovery on the next popup window?
Finally...when the phone reboots into "Android System Recovery"..I see this:
Android system recovery <3e>
Enter: OK Key, Select: VOL UP/DOWN
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature...
E:signature verification failed...
Installation aborted.

So do I go into "apply update from sd card" and select the CM zip file?? And after that I see there's mention of another zip file simply labelled "update.zip"...its also in my root. So I use that AFTER CM.zip right?
And finally...whats up with the errors there while installing the package? Is that ok?
Thanks! And sorry if this is the wrong forum. I didn't spot a specific mod-related forum here.

Use this link here, i think your problem is you afe flashing with rom manager you should use CWM for a first time install and you need to flash twice back to back to ensure a clean install.
