I recently rooted my eris with the 1 click root app. No problem, everything went great. I was able to flash a rom and my phone works perfectly. But, I went to partition the SD card, and found that I must have deleted the update.zip file. Is there any way to replace\recreate this? I am running GSB 3.0

i would like to ask what the update.zip is for im pretty sure you only get them with clockworkmod recovery which i dont use but whats`the update.zip about is it a backup? haha im sorry i cant answer your question but firgured id threw this question in the mix casue i was wondering what it is
The upgrade.zip was created when I rooted my phone. I erased it , thinking that I didn't need it. When I tried to partition my SD card, I got an error telling me that it couldn't find my upgrade.zip file.

If you rooted with 1-click, I think that you are talking about rootme.zip. You only need to flash that if you root and continue to run the stock Eris build - it adds the Superuser app and a few other little things that are included with any custom ROM that you would install.
You can get it back if you really want it by running 1-click again, I would think. But if you are installing a custom ROM, you do not need it.

Check that you have enough space on your SD card.
Have you got debugging checked?
thank you for your quick answer. everything worked perferctly. but i kinda have another question. . how do i install a new radio. do i have to do it like i would install a new rom: So Rename the downloaded .zip to "update.zip" and copy it to my sd card. and then use the patched recovery thing to load it ?? or do i have to go another way.

You're right, you install exactly the same way. Just follow the instructions carefully.
what instructions?
i renamed it to update.zip but it says cant find such file or smth.
for what els do i need to take care of?
now it seeemed to work out. but after installing radio and rebooting im back on the recovery screen. it says formatting cache for some minutes now. is it right?
this can take a while...
FYI, if ur flashing from SD via the recovery image you dont need to rename to update zip, just select the option from any zip file..
I posted this in the general forum but I think its best be in here. Sorry to the mods for placing it in the wrong place. Please delete the other one.
I am trying to reinstall KaosFroyo on my HTC Eris via ClockworkMOD and I am getting a error that says
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/arp
E:Failure at line 65:
I have tried multiple other roms and I formated my SD card and wiped everything. I am thinking I need to do something with adb or flashing another clockwork recovery?? I am not sure
I have included the ClockworkMOD recovery.log.
Any ideas??
Search is down or something. I had the same problem they told me that Clockwork and the eris dont get along. Long story short I tried many different things and eventually the phone just completely bricked. I would say check the checksum on the rom to make sure it doesn't have any errrors and let me try and find my post about it and see if we have the exact same issue or not
Edit: Looks like our issues are slightly different take a look through there maybe?

ok i looked at that thread but not sure which step I need to take can you help?
the only recovery I can get into is the clockwork one
Dumb answer here have you tried a different rom or re downloading the one you have. I am as much a noobie as you. Do you have a boot loader with S-on or S-off?
Edit: for Sh*ts and giggles what rom are u trying to flash??

As a rule, Clockwork recovery is not recommended on the Eris. It causes many problems, and yours may be one of them. Amon recovery is much safer. You probably need to search about replacing Clockwork with Amon...I think there is actually a thread out here to tell you how that's done.

Could be just a bad download. MD5 the zip file on your sdcard.
Ummm actually technically this is wrong section to. This isn't Q&A section.

May be a dumb question, but did you wipe data and dalvik before trying to flash a new rom?
You said you were using clockwork before (which I know very little about), but do you have any (amon ra created) nandroids that you could flash? Perhaps you created one when you first rooted.
If all else fails, try unrooting and rerooting your phone.

I would say the SD card may need to be mounted and formatted (or possibly unformatted) in recovery if the ROM you are trying to use requires it. That is, before you flash the new ROM. I would say though that you will lose data when you prep the SD card from recovery
ok i swapped out with a new sd card and still same issues. It gives an error about busybox so i want to know how to use adb and flash busybox can anybody tell me how I can do that?

OK, what ROM are you trying to Flash and what did you flash over? I am using KaosFroyov34...busybox is included. I think a previous poster is correct...I think you need to do a full wipe, a Dalvik wipe and them reinstall your ROM.

Well, first you need to know what you need to get rid of, then you need something like root explorer to mount R/W and delete the files. I'd be very careful about doing this, and someone more experienced than me will have to tell you how to do it better/faster. My guess as to why it's full though is flashing a different ROM over another (say Kaos over Tazz) without wiping. Because different ROMS use different install scripts, you wind up leaving leaving files that needed to be deleted. When you go from one version of a ROM to another of the same ROM, the scripts usually knows what to delete, replace, etc.
The problem started when after I flashed the recovery with Odin. When I booted into the recovery and tried to install the superuser zip file I keep getting this message: "E:cant copy META-INF/google/android/update-binary". I get this message when I try to flash a Rom: "E:Can't open /sdcard/update-unamed-1.3.1-full.zip". I've been trying to flash the CM7 nightlies and the "Unamed" Rom. Any help with this will be much appreciated.
Also, I ended up having to install superuser via SuperOneClick
Honestly, I stopped trying after the phone kept confusing me with SD Card, External Card, and Internal Card/External SD Card BS it was giving me.
I just left my phone rooted, lol.
Sometimes, this tends to happen if you rooted your phone with an anti-virus software running on your PC which can hinder the rooting process. (always the case with my HTC Inspire 4G). So turning it off could allow you to re-download Odin, and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files.
Once you get it re-rooted, get into CWM, do a backup, and Clear your Cache, Data and reinstall the ROM from your Internal Card or External Card (which ever you used to place the ROM in).
Good luck.

CWM and root are not even related....
root is root access to your OS /system and its functions. it has nothing to do with RECOVERY or anything outside of a RUNNING OS. i wish everyone would understand that.
as long as CWM is there, AND WORKING PROPERLY, rooting has nothing to do with it. you can flash a new rom from bone stock OS, as long as you have the CWM kernel.
@OP, you have these files (roms) located on the INTERNAL SD right?
I think that's why @homescrub said:
"and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files."
Proper files being cwm. As of yet I don't know of a way to install cwm without root on this phone. I know the captivate previously allowed an update to be flashed using stock recovery to get cwm.

how do you flash CWM?
through ODIN
that does NOT require root. you dont flash it via ROM manager....so whats the need for root to add CWM?
and what is this 'proper files' crap? you either have CWM or you dont, its not half-assed
nah its cool. im done here. i will let the misinformation fly. let the noobs run in circles. this website is going to **** so fast these days.
No man ....you should help these guys....just lighten up...and I apologize for coming off like that.....and one place I CAN understand is seeing what's going on in the forums....it is chaos sometimes.....I am just tired of seeing noobs who need help get ripped up.....just as much as I am tired seeing noobs posting +1 and Great Job, in the Dev forums. I just think this is the place to help them get a good understanding so there is not another new thread with this same question.

Thanks this really helped!! Lol I can't believe I forgot to do something like this lol I Odined back to FULL stock, flashed the zedomax kernal with root, wiped data and cache, flashed the rom now all is well
Come on guys, you are both better than this. Shake hands, help the OP, and lets make xda a better place..
I have been scouring these boards for hours and can't find my exact problem so I think I need to post this as a noob. I did Albert Wertz's method of rooting my Nook Tablet 16GB which he states will void the warranty. Afterwards I showed version 9.9.9 so I think it was rooted however I never saw superuser and such. I did something where the main menu bar no longer appears when pressing the n button too, annoying, I want it back too.
Anyway I booted into CWM from SD and then removed my boot SD and installed another SD with the img files on it. I have about 4 img files on it from throughout the day trying to update to CM7 and then tried a restore and just a CWM flash, every img file I select starts to perform it's update and somewhere around "extracting files" it says "installation aborted". At first I thought I had a bad memory card but both cards behave the same so I think they are good (creating 70MB partition on the CWM). I did a system restore on it and now it reports version 1.4.0 but I still get all the same errors, I'm stuck. I've spent about 9 hours of messing with this today and can’t think straight. I am going to bed and will try tomorrow, but if anyone could please tell me what I am missing I would very much appreciate it. Happy Easter ! Thanks, Mark O

In CWM, you need to install from .zip files. It sound like you're trying to install .img.
Thanks... I was installing .zip files, not .img. I was pretty useless last night. I used Alberts 4_5SD recovery this morn and got it rooted to 9.9.9 and I had superuser and titanium backup so all was good. I ran NWM from internal on the tablet and told it to install ROM from the SD card. I pointed to the file and told it to backup, then install the new ROM it said an error had occured when I tried this. I then booted from another SD card to go to CWM and after the white screen with the box, it went into backup and then restored the ROM, however it took me back to a unrooted version. It looked for the ROM I wanted to load but that was on the other SD card. Now I am back at square one, frustrated...
I think I might have found the problem but I am not sure. When I was doing the original CM7 update I wrote CWM to the E drive, (MyNook) so now the drive reports a total size of .99GB with 433MB free. So CWM is installed on this drive and I think that is the proplem. Is there a way to get CWM off the E drive? If I can just uninstall it, will that be sufficient enough to get the root back and then correctly install CM7? Thanks again in advance.
I guess this is turning out to be an ongoing update from me, lol... I am back to a rooted Nook Tablet with 9.9.9 So since I am a glutton for punishment I will try again tonight to do the CM7. I simply deleted the CWM file that I found in the internal memory and it seemed to not hurt anything.
This time I am planning to download Indirect’s latest "NOOK Tab Recovery Flasher.apk" directly to my Nook Tablet, (at the inlaws now and no wifi
If I understand correctly it will install CWM direct on my tablet, I am just wondering where it will end up installed? Then I downloaded the file for internal CM7 installation, the file is named "Nook-Tablet-CM7-Alpha-Final-TEAM-B-signed" I have it and nothing else on the sd card. So when I run CWM from the Nook, I point to the .zip file on the SD card. Sounds easy but after three screw ups, I am aprehensive.
If someone could please confirm that this procedure and the files I am using are compatible and should work with my 16GB Nook Tablet. Again thanks very much and I hope all have been enjoying this Easter holiday........

The steps that you have listed in this post are correct. If you do this exactly, everything should go according to plan.
Indirect's great app installs CWM to the recovery partition of your device, overwriting the B&N stock recovery. You can always go back to stock recovery if need be, though, so don't worry.
Thanks Solar.Plexus
The procedure worked as I hoped. I don't understand what went so wrong in my first attempt but the main thing is my wife doesn't look at me with THAT look anymore, since she thought I bricked her 12 hour old NT.....

Hi guys,
Im new to android and flashing roms. I'm having trouble flashing a ROM after I did superwipe. Im on Jellybean 4.1.1.
Here's what I did before the super wipe.
1. Installed CWM 6.0.1.2
2. Rooted my phone. I even checked it with a root checker application and it said that I was rooted.
3. Copied Superwipe and Android revolution hd 14.0 to my internal SDcard.
4. Went to recovery mode and installed superwipe.
After the superwipe install, I was suppose to go back to choose zip from sd card but it said FILE NOT FOUND.
I already searched the forums but none were specific to my case or it didnt give me the answer. I also searched google and found that I can copy my ROM to my phone using Android SDK but I have no idea what I'm doing.
Can anyone help me? Currently stuck at CWM recovery menu.
