[Q] Corrupted update.zip causing problems - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

***FIXED***
See 2nd post
Just recently noticed my SU icon went to the ninja and not the normal SU cross-bones icon.
When I boot into recovery (to flash another rom) I get E:.../cache/update.zip.
I re-install packages...all is well, except it reboots the phone instead of going into the recovery menu.
*2.2 stock build (jk6) from Som
Is my update.zip file screwed? I still have SU permissions on the phone, but cannot flash anything new...I tried DL'ing the original SU app from the market, but it keeps getting aborted during installation. Phone runs great, but I am now stuck with this rom combo and cannot experiment. What would cause this? How do I go about fixing it?
I have tried using a new update.zip several times but the same problem persists.

Alright...posted this as I was trying everything (been dicking around with this for 2 days).
***FIXED***
*I in no way take responsibility to what happens to your phone if you follow my fix
Here's how:
*New update.zip on sd card
*flash CMR in Rom Manager
*fix permissions in Rom Manager
==reboot into recovery==
*clear cache
*re-install packages
*install rom from sd
DONE

Installation aborted

Whenever I try to install a zip rom on my Vibrant I get an error msg. After I ask the rom manager to install from the SD card and select the file from the internal memory it reboots and A very quick installation takes place until it stops on "installing Muti-CSC". After that it just stays like that forever....so I go to "reinstall packages" and the system tells me:
--Install from sdcard--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted. (in red letters).
Can anyone help?
thanks
Rafa
P.S - I've read the other related threads and didn't find the answer. I've tried with nero V3 and V4.
Try this, If you can Odin back to stock, Then root the phone (if you are already there then ignore) Download the Axura rom 2.6 rom or the latest (it seems to be less buggy on some phones. Load it on your internal card
Get permission from the rom manager then reboot into recovery. The manually install by reinstall packages/ choose rom on sd card
That should work
also, there has been some phones that have used the rooting method Loading the folder then reinstall update...... This on some phones does work, not sure why, you can get the one click root, (go to unlockr.com) they have there along with a video.
Thanks, I´ll give that a go.

[Q] Problems when flashing .zip files in clockworkmod recovery

Hi,
I've been playing around with various apps, mods, launchers etc. out here rescently, and was unable to flash some of them.
First thought was they might be incompatible with my device, but some out of hero forums aren't working as well.
some hardware info:
Device: HTC Hero [T-Mobile Google G2]
rooted: yes
ROM: Elelinux v 2.3 (based upon cyanogenmod v7)
recovery: latest clockworkmod avillable for hero, i think it's 2.5.0.7 (?)
Strange thing now is, if I try flashing some .zip via "flash .zip from sdcard" my phone doesn't seem to like, it first says "opening file... starting installation..." (or something like that, just the usual way) and then completely resets clockworkmod returning to starting page as if i just had rebooted into recovery. anyone had similar problems? or can help? would be glad about it as for now i can't use lots of wonderful mods the devs are working on
just for interest, has/ will hero get clockworkmod v3? hero CDMA already got it...
thanks in advance,
summonerofdeath
Which .zip did you try flash?
Try with Amon Ra's recovery.
I don't think it will.
Flashed for example Rover theme and extras for it. Was able to flash extras but not the theme. Weird. Wasn't able to flash some modded-to-look-like-senseUI-ADW-launcher too, always same strange behaviour like said above. As well, sometimes got the issue of successfully flashing zip files with no effect, means no changes.
Already tried amonra, no solution for me as it can't handle unsigned zip files and no special folders.
Thanks & greets,

Very odd, have others reported problems with it?
It sounds like a bad package file to me, maybe.
For the problem of flashing zips with no changes, manually mount /system and flash again. This usually sorts it.
And for your other problems get me a recovery log and I'll have a look, you can find this by flashing your non-working file and then going to advanced and report error. That will save a log on to your SD-card under clockworkmod.

For the zips with an update script, get a recovery log and post it here for us to look at.

[Q] What can i do ? After cf-root

Hi all,
I rooted my SGS2 yesterday with chainfire's post which worked GREAT but where can i go from here? advise would be good
I used cf-root,KF3 kernel and then went back to the stock KF3.
​ Ive had problems when trying to access the INTERNET today (nothing would load) then i cleared the cache and rebooted the phone. I.E wouldn't work but went to orangeworld and i could view the net but when i tryed to access pages on xda, potuk it kept coming up with orange safeguard. So i rung orange and complained that something was wrong with my phone. They tryed 3 setting messages and nothing would work. They asked me to try and access my account from my phone and that kept comming up with a error message "didn't reconise my phone" SGS2. They came back to me and said that second line support had found a problem with my account and needed to do something, and to try my phone again in 2 hrs NO JOY still around 07.30 am. 12.30 i get home and get a phone call from orange saying "try my phone now" All good seems fixed. They also gave my £10 credit on my next bill ???????? Why??????
add applications or themes to customize your phone to what ever you like. Most application a dn other programs on this and other sites require a rooted phone.
Can i use roms and things like that? if so which ones can i use with having root and
being on this:
XXKE7
XWKF3
Roms will either have root in them or not .
Use whatever rom you want .
A suggestion would be to start with an easy rom like Cognition .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124396
Simple install as below .
I highly recommend flashing the full rom! (updates can be unpredictable)
(If you have problems with the update version, flash the full rom instead)
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip from below (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above
(Let it flash)
Reboot, Enjoy!

beanstalk 4.4 kitkat installation issues

factory reset
clear cache
clead dalv cache
format system
install beatstalk and get this error
E: can't copy meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary
installation aborted
can anyone help me
i've tried from both my internal and external sd card
What version is CWM? You need 6.0.4.3.
Also, try re-downloading the rom and gapps.
Error I717 vs i717
I have installed CWM touch 6, wiped (2x) then goto install and get the error that "This rom is for I717, and your device is i717" I have formatted the sd card and downloaded 2 different versions of the 4.4 and both give the same error. Also when I try to install others roms I get an error about "Bad" file. Any suggestions?
Only bug I see is YouTube does not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled updates and also tried force stopping the app.
It will play the first video I choose but then it won't play anything else.
Otherwise, Great Rom!

Installed this ROM and GAPPS from the dev thread for t0lte device.
First issue: AOSP keyboard force close. Looked up solution - install Google KB via APK. Ok, managed to do that, then set it to default. The AOSP FC message still appears, although not as frequently as before, and at least Google KB works.
Next issue: No data, no phone network.
Next issue: Went to set up APN, entered information, Menu > Save, APN did not save.
Not sure what the problem(s) is/are. Wanted to try this ROM but maybe I'll wait a while to see if anyone else runs into the same issues and if so, if they get fixed.
Permissions?
Well apparently the APN issues are caused by any 4.4 ROM if it is installed using TWRP.
So I have tried a couple of 4.4 ROMS using CWM and yes, my issues with APN didn't crop up. However, if I used another ROM that wasn't 4.4 (Paranoid) and then restored a backup of a 4.4 ROM, the APN again disappeared and was not modifiable. Anyway it's not the fault of any particular ROM, it appears.
As for the other issues, I have not gone back to Beanstalk since I posted my other message. Mostly because I don't really want to have to start from scratch every time I want to switch to a KitKat ROM (unless coming from another KitKat ROM, I presume - although I haven't ruled out that any recovery from backup wipes out APN).
Hopefully between the ROM developers and the custom recovery makers, this gets resolved and I can get back to feeding my ROM addiction.

[Q] Issue in /system

Hello everyone and thanks for the support.
Recently I installed the Cyanogem Mod 12.1. I really missed the motorola apps in the stock version, so i tried reinstalling them. After some research in /system/apps, i found two foulders, probably related to the motorola apps. After i tried installling the apk, it said it wasnt a support device. So i coppied the foulders in /system/apps, permitions and etc and done. Didn't work after all.
Now i updated cyanogem. A "motogeofences has stopped" appears everytime. The device shuts down after 10 alerts.
I want to go to /ssytem/app and erase the folders, but how?I have twrp recovery.
Use the Aroma File Manager in your recovery to delete these files.
Just copy the zip to your SD Card and install it from your recovery (should work with every recovery). When done, exit the file manager and restart your phone.
Wrong thread. Sorry
