[Q] (bad) installation aborted? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am Currently running VEGantab ginger and wanted to try a different rom
I get the following error when I try to install VEGan 5, or Caulkin... I followed the directions in the sticky
I wipe data/factory reset, clear cache and delvik, then I go to choose the zip from the sdcard and I get this message:
Finding Update Package
Opening update package
E:Can’t open /sdcard/roms/gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I can still install VEGanTab Ginger from the same directory and Vanilla, so I don’t know what the issue is.
Any fixes?

bad download or copy to your tablet.
Delete and re-download gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip

I have tried that several times. I have also donloaded from the XDA forum, and from VEGAn's site.

Rename it to something like Vegan.zip, put it in a different directory or something to see why you are having issues. It could be too many characters, or something simple like that.
when you browse to chose it to install, it errors then?

Yes. It begins the script, but immediately errors.

I tried renaming it, but it still didn't work. Thanks though. Maybe re-partitioning?

I don't see how that would help installing.
Something is going on with the install since it's aborting at install.
You said you can install other ROM's without issue...just this one, right?

Calkulins and Vegan 5. I was hoping to go back to a 2.2 Rom so video acceleration will work. I also tried doing it from ROM installer, but still not working.

I'm also getting this, going from a 2.3.3 ROM to a 2.2 ROM
And I also tried re-downloading it a few times

Actually this seemed to fix it:
Reboot device, go back into CWM
Clear data/cache/dalvik, etc. (maybe a few times?)
Install from zip
Worked this time!

Ok. Thanks. I'll try it tomorrow. Just curious, did you wipe and then wipe again, or reboot recovery after your initial wipe and wipe again. Just curious your order of operations.

I am getting this also, any way to confirm this works?
I just went to 1.2 and followed the steps, but get this if I attempt to do it by update.zip or the install zip way.

[Q] [FIXED] Vegan GE RC1 - Browser not installed

I've tried reinstalling a number of times to no avail, and the thread in the development section doesn't seem to have anything relating to this, but every time I install Vegan-TAB Gingeredition RC1 it's missing the default browser. The tablet boots up just fine, but it's nowhere to be found, not in the dock nor in the application list. I've rebooted, connected to wireless, rebooted again, still nothing. An attempt at a manual install from /system/app/Browser.apk gives me a parsing failure, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to work anyway.
I've also tried re-downloading the zip and the MD5 sums seem to match.
My install method was pretty standard : nvflash to a version with CW, reboot, install 3588 (clear everything), reboot, reinstall CW, reboot, install vegan, clear cache/data/dalvik, reboot.
On top of this, any attempt at opening VeganTAB Settings inside settings immediately crashes.
I feel like it's probably something small and stupid that I'm doing wrong, since everyone else seems to have it working. Any thoughts?
Do you mean the market or a web browser?
If its the market then you need to install gapps
Have you tried using Calkulin's format all? It's attached to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705
Just flash like any update.zip and it will erase everything. Be prepared to have everything erased ...
You could also try repartitioning the SDCard, which will also make sure everything is completely gone ...

The web browser. The market shows up when I connect to a wireless network. I believe gapps is already installed in this ROM.

Hadn't seen that before, I'll give it a whirl when I get home. I keep backup copies on an SD card so I'm fine with blowing everything away. I've repartitioned via CW as well and that didn't seem to help.
I'll see if this fixes it. Thanks!
That seemed to do the trick. I ran the FORMAT ALL script, repartitioned, and even did a manual format of /sdcard. After going from the stock image to 3588, the install of Vegan seemed to work great. Couldn't be happier.
Thanks for the help!

Got 10.28.1.0 installed but file explorer does not work.

Also it will not let me d/l any apps from the App Market and it says disk is full.
I am assuming you're talking about MIUI 10.28.1.0. So what steps did you do to flash it? Were you coming from an MTD rom already (CM7)? Is there anything else not working?
You should probably to a clean wipe and install it properly.
Yes it is MIUI 10.28.1.0.
I rebooted to recovery. Wiped cached and dalvik and wiped data. Did install from SD disk. I cannot uninstall programs and the file manager crashes.
What is considered a clean wipe & proper install?
Sounds like data didn't wipe properly somehow. I would try Odin back to ED05 or some other stock package, then go to Miui 10.28.1. 10.28.1 is great seems to be the most stable version since 9.16.
Is there a thread on how to do that?

[Q] settings won't open. "Apllication is not installed"?

Hello,
I'm running ViperRez for about a week now and haven't had a problem. Tonight, I attended a concert and switched to the extended battery so it would survive the night and noticed on the drive home that when I attempt to open my settings and get an "Application is not Installed" message when I attempt to do so. I've tried google for help to no avail and am out of ideas so anything you guys can think of would be super appreciated.
Thanks!
If someone could dig out the settings.apk from that ROM then you could try to install it.

Here you go:

Try installing this.
I had that problem on a different Rom. my problem was that it was disabled.. How that happened, I don't know.

Try dirty flashing the Rom. Or using a root browser navigate to your Rom zip and go to /system/apps and find the settings apk. Extract the APK and try installing.

I was able to find the apk in the zip and extracted it, but it won't install. as for dirty flashing, I can't say I'm familiar with how to do that :/

a dirty flash is when you flash without wiping. by dirty flashing viper youll install everything OVER everything else instead of fresh. and the part your wanting is the settengs.apk to be reinstalled.. you might have accidentally bloated it out, with some kind of uninstaller. or put graywolfs apk on your sd and use a file explorer to find it and install?

[Q] updating ROM to higher version or new release

has anyone been using the KXP Milestone1 ROM for WT19i (Coconut), or any of the other devices it supports?
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829369]
they have released a new version, Milestone1-R2 a week ago. i have Milesotne1-R1 installed on my phone. i just wanted to know if i can simply copy the R2 zip to my SD card, and use the "update using zip" option in CWM to update my ROM, or if i'll have to reinstall the ROM (thereby having to backup apps and contacts, the existing ROM and all that, which is a P in the A).
can anyone please help?

"4. IF COMING FROM SOME OTHER ROM, make factory wipe (not needed if updating AOKP)"
It is written in the installation instructions in the link give by you above, so no need to wipe data.
Press thanks if I helped.

oh, i read that too, but thought factory wipe is for resetting other stuff (like hardware settings and modes), and installing a new ROM automatically wipes the messages, contacts, apps, etc. thanks a lot

btw, i have one more follow-up doubt. sorry if being a bother
when installing the update thru CWM, do i choose "install from zip" option, or do i "upgrade from zip"?

No... Installing a new ROM doesn't wipe apps automatically... You must do a factory reset to wipe apps...
It isn't required if you are upgrading the same ROM

Just so you know, "update from zip" will look for a zip named "update.zip" on your sdcard and then install it, an update.zip is typically just a patch that only contains changes and it isn't used very much anymore. If the zip is named something else then use "install zip from sdcard"

ooooooooh, didn't know that.
i thought of asking what the update from zip option actually does, but didn't wanna, coz i already asked a lot of noob questions and it doesnt matter much anyway.
but still, uncertainty sucks. so thanks for that tip man. :good:

System Recovery won't load?

I can't get my System Recovery to load. It installs fine(doesn't as about SU permissions). When I try to open it I get the following error: "Sorry! The application System Recovery (process com.tenfar.a4.recovery) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have tried this several time. I have confirmed that I am rooted and am updated to 2.3.5. I am trying to install Eclipse.
Which system recovery are you trying to use?

Not sure TBH! The file that I am using is MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk
Ok, thats the right one. I dont know why it wouldnt work. Even if you arent rooted, it should still install. It will only ask for root when you push the "install recovery" button. You just installed it like a normal apk file right? You didnt try to put it in system/app/ or anything did you?

No. I had the apk on my SD card. I touched that and it installed. When the install was finished it asked if I wanted to open or done. I chose open and got the message from above.

Thats weird. Maybe go into the app info for the system recovery app and clear data and cache for it. Maybe it will clean it up. I dont have very many thoughts on this. I've never ran into this problem.

It finally worked after 10 data wipes.
Followed the directions to load eclipse. FInally got Eclipse on there and working. Thanks for the advice.
For future reference, were you on stock rom or something different?
