[Q] NERO v3 Install - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i rooted my phone and installed clockwork rom manager and downloaded nero v3_voodoo.zip and put it on my phone..boot into recovery mode and now i get
--Installing: SDCARD:/Nero_3_voodoo.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
and it stays like this for hours.
Thank You

Which rom/ version are you coming from? Can you boot up normally, not in recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

you rebooted into ClockWorkMod Recovery, right?

@Fearless yes.
@jrod from stock and yes i can boot up phone and it works normally it just doesn't flash the new rom

Weird
I want to say that I had this problem @ one point. I think I downloaded a new copy of the ROM. Sometimes the download get corrupted at one point or another. Have you hit boards.teamwhiskey.com? or head to the IRC chat channel? they have a GREAT support community.
I really hope you ran a titanium backup, or else you will loose all apps. I really suggest springing for the paid version, because the restore is only one click.

ok...try re-downloading the ROM again and see if that works

@led Thank You!
@fearless
Downloaded update.zip to root phone did that blah installed clockwork mod app granted superuser always, clicked flash clockwork did that, copied nerov3 onto sd card opened clockwork selected reboot into clockwork recovery once in recovery i selected the zip i wanted to update to which was nerov3voodo.zip clicked yes and it finds and opens it fine just soon as it hits installing it gets hung up for a long time hours so i just pull out the battery and boot back up to normal android with root

Im not 100% positive if this is required or not but when I flash a rom I always start from stock rom, then use samsung mini kies to update to Ji6, then flash the rom of ur choice. I did nero v3 that way too.

I did the same as jrod after a soft brick recently....

mac
is there kies mini for osx?

Ur gonna have to research a lil cuz it wasn't easy to find, at least for me it wasn't lol and im not sure if there is kies for osx. Again im not sure if this routine will fix ur problem I just know it never fails for me. The one time I did flash straight from stock rom, it was a different rom (not nero) and it worked but it seemed real buggy. I say this cuz I flashed the same rom twice, once from stock JFD and once from JI6. Coming from JI6 seemed much smoother

Wait a minute, the way I'm reading this Nerov3 was on the SD card and not the root of the phone?
If that's the case both update.zip and nerov3.zip have to be on the 16g root memory of the phone, not the SD card.

I can't install the ROM. I keep getting an error. It says:
E: Failure at line 12:

Any ideas why???

Haha aite. Ima fill u in. But it might be a difficult to follow, lol:
1) I began by installing the custom ROM "[ROM] Vibrant AOSP ish JK2 1.1 Official FROYO". I had done the back-ups with Clockwork Mod and whatnot. And I also installed the BusyBox.
2) So I successfully installed the custom ROM. However, I read that there was an issue with SD Card's not working??? So I found the .zip file that fixes it and I put it on my SD Card. I then launch into Clockwork Mod, but it freezes on the Vibrant screen. It just boot loops. So I guessed I bricked it.
3) I try numerous times to ODIN it back to stock. It somewhat worked. However, after the Galaxy S screen, it just turns black and nothing loads. Like the interface doesn't show up.
4) I then restore it to a previous state through Recovery. But now, the SD card issue is still present. Like, I can't update/download any apps.
5) I find NERO v3 and I put it on my SD Card. I boot into recovery, and try to install it through there.
6) As I try to install it I get that,
"E: Failure at line 12:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted." message.
IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME, IT WOULD BE GREAT!!!! Lol.

Hi guys so i planned to upgrade my samsung galaxy to custom rom 2.2. i will appreciate if someone can please tell me that which is the best and stable custom rom for Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (US) Version. i heard that Nero v3 with voodoo lagfix is the best so far. Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks

Ok ur right that was alot to follow lol. Ur gonna have to start all over and odin back to stock. Make sure you have both the right ....512.pit file that goes next to the PIT selection in odin , obviously. And the ....jfd.tar file that goes in the pda selection. Check the repartition box also. Let odin and the phone do its thing. It usually will sit on the galaxy s screen for a couple minutes. Did you have any lag fixes installed? If so I hope you disabled them first

Depends what ur looking for. The newest and reputable ones are nero v3 and axura 2.2.5.7. Nero is a lil more stable but not by much. Axura is a lil more snappier/faster but also not by much. Both are themed specifically to the makers choice so its ur call which to go with. Without customizing anything I like neros theme better but after I flashed blackfroyo to axura I loved it. Also it seems that nero is more customizable but that could be cuz axura just came out a few days ago. So its ur call. Try em both out. I did. Give one a couple days then the other so you can really wee the positives and negatives. DONT forget to disable voodoo if you try multiple roms

Yeah, I have the *True Stock* files for ODIN. I can get ODIN to do its job, but it doesn't load anything after the Galaxy S screen. Hmmm....perhaps it is the lag switch. How do I disable it?

You have to disable the lag fix before you start flashing. Which lag fix do you have?

Problem flashing a rom for vibrant

So like the title states I'm having some difficulties flashing a rom. I just updated to froyo 2.2 with root and I'm trying to flash nero v5.0. The problem I'm having is when I boot into clockwork i keep getting an E:can't open /cache/update.zip. I've tried both method 1 and 2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458
Did you make sure to take step 2 on the tutorial? "Flash clockwork recovery"?
If so, I would try it again to see if it helps. Another step is to uninstall ROM manager, then re-install it taking all the steps again. It sounds like you may have accidentally deleted the update.zip file that should be on the root of your SD card.
yea, i tried it. I flashed it. I even clear the data and uninstalled rom manager and reinstalled. I also never touched update.zip as well. This was the first time I've actually mounted my phone to my computer and opened up my internal/external sdcard.
OP, here is a thread I made for issues in the past.
Try this and let me know how it goes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875890
still no luck, i boot into recovery and get the same message still
Well, Hmm... You could try the steps in the noob guide and use ODIN to install froyo+root. This is the ALT METHOD in the guide. This is what I personally use.
Not really certain what's going on man, but doing this can't hurt.
I recently followed your guide, I could try again it wouldn't hurt my phone right?
No, you are not going to hurt your phone...
lets troubleshoot.
List to me step by step what you have done... If need be I will ODIN to JFD tonight and we can go through it together. I'm certain it's something silly though. No reason it should not work. You have a a Vibrant on T-Mobile right?
yea i have a tmobile vibrant so this is what i just did right now.
1) Flashed froyo+root from your noob guide followed all the steps (i.e. wipe data etc)
2) downloaded rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery.
3) placed nero v5.0 into the root of the phones internal sdcard.
4) went to rom manager and roboot. E: Can't open /cache/update.zip
(Bad)
Installation Aborted
nvm i think i got it to work
Do i need to do anything special for the longer battery life for nero v5.0
^^ what was the issue?
^ nothing special... you may want to recalibrate your battery. Drain it down to it powers off on its own (or really close)... charge it full... leave it on maybe an hour longer after fully charged... you can bump charge it (DO NOT do this a lot)... all this means is once full, unplug and then plug back in... your "full" battery will accept more charge....
dont boot up, but go straight to CWR and then Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
reboot with the power cord still connected. Once its booted unplug and use like normal.
I repeat, do not bump charge often, this will hurt your battery.
I just flashed froyo again and used the update zip on the fix thread

Can't flash ROMs no matter what i do

Im coming from 2.3.2 - XWJV1 [Gingerbread on Vibrant], after ODIN, and when i wanted to flash the latest Bionix i got an error
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
every time i get this, i have to do another ODIN because it just does a loop in the android system recovery and will not get out, so i had to ODIN 3 times.
now when i try to flash a ROM it just keeps replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod recovery, i do the usual steps to install a ROM and it just does a loop. i tried different clockwork flash versions and either it wont let me install the older ones or the only 2 versions that work have loop problems.
HOW DO I FIX THIS, IM SO STRESSED OUT, THIS IS UNNECESSARY!
after doing install rom from sd option, i was able to get out of the loop but i got
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
i still cant flash anything and i already tried eugenes files.
got into clockwork but when i put install files from sd card > choose from sd then it when i choose update.zip it just goes back to the android system recovery.
then i put reinstall files from the android system recovery and it just sends me back to clockwork recovery...
Try a diff. tar for when you Odin, you may have a corrupt file. Have you try Eugen JK2 tar file, prerooted?
Are you clicking reinstall packages?
Are you going through clockwork or rom manager?
Did you install the root update zip to reroot?

Odin back to JFD (make sure to check repartition) then boot and let it go through loading, then root the phone, Then load CWM, then load your new rom and load from recovery NOT CWM, you will have no problems.

Ok I just went through this less than a month ago with my captivate. I have a twenty page topic on this EXACT issue. I had all the major devs pming me and doing everything under the sun for probably a total of thirty hours. Result - NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS. This issue is not specific to our phones, there have been cases of this on almost every android phone. Your gonna get people telling you to do all this elementary trouble shooting...the problem is far too deep dont waste your time. You can flash back to stock with every tar and pit file this side of samsung...not gonna work. SOMETHING is not getting wiped. Save yourself the time and sell the phone to someone who will not use custom roms.
Also no rm/wipe command through abd is gonna help either! Sorry just telling you from someone who experienced this hell. Also every thread in existence on the internet on this subject has died out without an answer. If you read for enough hours you will find out the hard way! Good luck my friend!

Custom recovery is never going to stick now. Every reboot now it is gonna be gone...dont know why but from my research, it is permanent.

Are you able to re install the original rom? I and many others with this issue had that unique problem of being able to install ONLY the rom that was running before everything went to hell. There lies the key I believe to all of this. What makes only one work.

LMAO!!! I understand that your frustrated but there is no need to blame other members. There is always a risk flashing a rom. If you are not willing to accept the risk then you shouldn't be flashing roms at all. Whitehawkx has helped many people in the vibrant community and its not his fault if YOU decide to flash his rom and don't know what your doing. You wont get much help around here with that attitude.

[Q] CWM

i just got my phone running ED01 today and it unrooted my phone. i rerooted it and all that jazz but my question is this...
i can't reboot into cwm recovery?
it just reboots me back into stock recovery.
do i download the latest cwm, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and problem solved?
Put a new kernel on your sd card. As soon as you finish rooting, boot immediately into cwr and flash the kernel. If you let the phone boot before you do this, the stock kernel overwrites the recovery.
This happened to me earlier today and had me pulling my hair out. Nemesis2all had the answer.
yes! YES! that was just what i needed.
thank.you.
Ughh. I am having a very similar problem and I have been trying to solve it for the past 4 hours with no luck. Could you please tell me what you did to resolve this?
I was on SC 2.9 with JT's TW voodoo kernel. I decided to go back to stock and start from scratch by flashing the DI01 all in one Odin package in Odin. (I disabled voodoo before doing this). Everything went smooth as butter. I then got the vzw prompt to OTA Froyo. I downloaded and installed it just fine. I then re-rooted. Now I am having a hard time trying to get CWM to flash/install. I flashed 'cwm-recovery-all' in odin. Odin says it was successful and reboots my phone. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes to the blue android 2e screen. I go to 'apply update.zip and thats when I keep getting errors.
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed "
I'm sure I am forgetting a step or missing something

First, grab a TW kernel, for example JT's TW voodoo kernel and place it on ur SD card. Next remove battery and enter download mode so u can Odin CWR. Once it's done u should see that it succeeded flashing CWR in Odin. Next reinstall battery and enter recovery mode by holding down both volume buttons and power button. Once u see the samsung logo, release and it should enter red CWR. Then flash the TW kernel and reboot. U should be golden. There's no update.zip file to worry about.
As mentioned on the previous post, the stock kernel overwrites CWR and defaults back to stock blue recovery. Good Luck...

[Q] how do i get miui?

hey guys, im trying to flash the miui 1.6.24 rom onto my 2.2 fascinate. ive tried twice now and everytime i i try and flash, it starts the download for about 5 seconds, then just keeps rebooting the phone and says cant mount and does a countdown from 20 then reboots and repeats. i have had to odin back to stock 3 times already from this. any ideas why this is not working? and how can i get it to work? Thanks in advance
Have you read how to flsh to the cm7 & miui thread. Make sure you have the correct kernal, gapps and recovery. I think that is why you maybe getting stuck. Be sure to read how to get back to other roms if you choose to go back.

no i cant find that thread. the only one i can find is the how to go from cm7 or miui to another rom. but im trying to do the opposite
it just keeps saying "waiting for SD Card to mount" and counts down. then just keeps repeating
Can anybody help me?
I came from Nameless v4.1 and have a thread in Q and A that answers this but I'll tell ya how, it's basically the same steps since I odined back to stock.
Make sure that you have Andmer's latest miui build on the root of your SD card. Then assuming you already use the latest recovery (I had time's blue recovery) , wipe the big 3 (data, cache, delvik) > install from SD card > choose the miui rom > have a little patience > profit.
For me it did the count down 4 times before it actually mounted and finished the install. I don't know if the size of the SD card effects it in any way, concidering I'm only using a 4g, but it may take awhile. Again these are the steps I took and I haven't had any problems other than the one's already stated.
Sent from my miui fascinate using XDA Premium App
Yeah when it was doing the countdown I let it go before for about a half hour and it still list kept doing it and I had to Odin back to stock again. I didn't have the rom on the root of the SD card, I had it in a folder entitled root that I put all my roms on. I don't know if that would really make a difference
To be honest I'm not entirely sure. I've always put it on the root of the sd card. I guess at this point it wouldn't hurt to try. And again I'm not sure if the size of the card comes into play considering I'm using just a 4g card and not my stock 16g. Maybe someone else with more experience and overall know how can chime in to help. Sorry if I couldn't be of any help.

Maybe a bad d/l ?
I just switched to cm7 from miui then back and had no issues
Try redownloading
Sent from my MIUI Fascinate XDA App
Yeah I'm not using the stock card either. I'm using a 2gb Samsung and a 8gb sandisk. And I don't think its a bad download cuz I've tried doing it with all 3 versions of miui and it did it to all of them and the new cm7 and the cm7/miui kernel. I could get the old cm7 but when trying to flash the new one I get the countdown
I just tried again and let it do the countdown for a half hour so it tried about 40 times to mount the card. Any other suggestions?
I'm also needing a bit of advice on how to install MIUI on my Fascinate...

Trying to install that. Downloaded the packages, but not sure what to do from there.

Not to hijack, but seems we have similar questions.
You need to load in CWM, ROM manager is not compatible with the newer roms

I have tmobile's vibrant t959 and I had Nero w/voodoo on there and all I did was odin back to stock because I wanted to get ICS on the phone. well I knew I had a problem before I had dropped my phone and the service cut out it doesnt do anything since then but bootloop unless I have a ROM on there then it works PERFECTLY fine, So I assume it's an internal issue? Well I had used odin to go back to stock and the terrible bootloop started again. I tried to install a new rom after i installed the update.zip file but it WILL not go into clockwork recovery. The other day when I put Nero on there I didn't need rom manager or ANYTHING it was completely stock and all I did was do update.zip through install packages and then it brought me right to the Clockwork screen. Now after I hit install packages it just reboots to the loading screen and starts up the phone..then bootloops. I'm not too sure what to do I've installed every odin 1.7 1.3 everything every single JDF and pit file I can possibly find nothing works. I can't get into clockwork even though I have superuser and all that can anyone PLEASE give me some kind of advice? I just can't figure out how i got it to work the other day.. but I know it will work. Also I did put some kind of....clockwork thing through odin? brought me to a red clockwork but when I go to install the rom it doesn't so my SD Card just my internal phone one and I even tried putting the rom on there but it doesnt show up...Mind you I can't keep the phone on for very long before it restarts...maybe if i'm lucky i can put osmething on the SD card...I also have been using my other phone to put things onthe SD card then put the SD card back into my vibrant..please someone help I want to let my boyfriend use the phone.. I'm starting to feel like I should have just left Nero on there and never tried to put ICS on there...
You try the nobrick PDA tar first?

I literally tried everything you know what I just got it to work by odin. PIt and tar and then another tar.md5 file in PHONE and it workeD! I'm not sure how or why but i'm really even more confused now LOL
okay so now when i try to put roms on it just says installation aborted.... so...i dont know what else to do.... Maybe it was how i did the odin thing? but i do odin any other way and i get bootloops?

You have to root it after you used Odin. You can't flash custom roms without that and custom recovery. Follow the sticky guides.

I am completely and fully aware that I have to root after i use odin......LOL i've been rooting and using roms for the last two years I just am currently having this problem...yeah it was a md5 tar and the pit and then the jfd tar. i dont know where i found it but now i cant apply roms. I dont know if i odin back with just the pit and jfd tar then i get a bootloop....and i know what i'm suppose to be using. i do understand how to do it that's not the problem at all so no I don't need to follow the stickys.. it's the fact that when I do it RIGHT i get the bootloop.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this, and please do it even if you already have.
Delete any update.zip you have on your sdcard and put this one on your internal sdcard. http://db.tt/5FWb4wT8
Odin jfd w/ repartition clicked (must be jfd, not ji4/5/6 or anything else).
No, boot into recovery, select "real install packages". And then the phone will reboot back to recovery. Select it again.
Now you *should* be able to install the rom you want, assuming you have a vibrant 3g (t959) and not a galaxy s 4g (t959v) or a t959d.
Also, what's the error number you are given when the flash fails?

Alright thank you i'm trying all this now and I'll let you know what happens. I'm just a little nervous because whenever i odin back to stock without doing it the other way I get the bootloop from hell. hopefully it doesn't happen.... The error that appears is error in sd/romname installation aborted. that's all it says.
Alright well I did odin, the same way I always do it. This time without the tar.md5 file just the regular JFD. This is such a pain in the butt with no service connection...even through wifi I cannot use the market so anything i need i have to download the APK until I get this rom working. -.- OH BAM! ur update.zip worked! butttt roms still are aborted and i'm back into a bootloop.
wait a minute...can I not go directly to ICS or any other rom if i'm coming from stock?...I barely remember not being able to do that....okay so i tried putting cm7 on there and same thing... installing:sdcard:update-cm-7ect.zip finding update package opening update package installing update checking state of BMLMTD assert failed:run_program("/tmp/updater.sh") == 0 e?:error in sdcard/update-cm-7.1.01-vibrant-sig-ned. (1).zip status 7 installation aborted.......wtf D: i am about to give up... i dont know how I had nero w/voodoo on here... i know i odin back to stock then through clockwork installed the zip.. i tried to get nero back but the website is gone and no other downloads for nero are anywhere...
