Heres the problem i was running vanilla tazz v28. trying to flash ginger tazz19 i thought i flashed g apps before rebooting but it happened pretty fast for a flash i thought, it turns out it looked like it flashed but i got an installation abort. i did boot without g apps. while trying to reflash i made a big mistake and partitioned sd, lost backup. now anything i try to flash gets installation abort. im stuck without market plus apps. i did full wipe every time and tried deleting/reinstalling roms plus g apps. Oh yeah and i did every flash manually cuz i heard of clockwork mod bricking issues please tell me how to get my phone back.
CWM bricking issues are verrrry few & faaar between. I use it b/c of trackball issues w/o any problems. I take it you have ROOT, yes ?! You do not have any NANDROID BACKUPS to restore >?!?! This is one of countless occasions where they're invaluable ! ALWAYS make a NAND B/U !! You can always go back & delete them down the line.
IMO, this is no big deal at all ... unless you gotta brick, there is always hope.
>> Even though you partitioned your SDC, that shouldn't give you a bad Install
>> First things First >>> RE-DOWNLOAD Tazz's ROM.zip (you can check the md5 checksum to verify clean, proper d/l)... to be thorough.
THEN, [IN RECOVERY] put it on your SDC by mounting SDC thru USB, place freshly d/l'ed ROM zip .... unmount, try to flash it .... then flash yer gapps, reboot !

DID YOU DO A FULL WIPE, DATA & DALVIK ? It shouldn't be saying GSB ANYTHING - it sounds like you need to do a full wipe ,then FLASH. It doesn't say you wiped in your list of actions .... ? That is the first & foremost.
.... if you're trying to install Tazz's GB ROM, it shouldn't be giving you any GSB errors ! Are you trying to install Ginger Tazz 19 ? Those are 2 different ROM's !
YOU CAN'T (act. you can, but not stable & def. not recommended !) FLASH A DIFFERENT ROM OVER ANOTHER ROM W/O DATA/DALVIK WIPE, REGARDLESS IF THEY'RE BOTH GB/CM !
Also, it has been clearly noted that going from Froyo ROM's/CM 6.2 to GB ROM's/CM 7.0 (or vice-versa !) that the need to format your sdcard is very important & necessary ... read the OP's from GinTazz or GSB or Condemned ... they all suggest this.
I'll check back on ya later - good luck.

First thing I would suggest trying is to download the Rom again and see if that helps. Could be a bad download.

I tried to flash and got this:

E:Error writing Boot:
E:Failure at line 369:

I tried to reboot and it wouldn't boot, so I pulled the battery and went back into recovery and tried to apply the NANDROID backup, seemed to apply fine, but now it always boots into bootloader, no matter what I do. I can still make it into recovery so it isn't all lost, but I can't do anything else from there.
Bizarre, never seen an error like that before!

Re-Applying the ROM gets the same result.
I did Wipe and try to re-apply and also wipe and Nandroid. All got me nowhere. I ended up getting it fixed by applying Cyanogens Bacon1.img. I am really interested in your ROM though. Think maybe I got a bad download or something. I will try again and check the md5 sum this time.
my tether puts a signal out and all but i cant connect to it.. only get local
So after downloading the ROM again after the first one didnt work, I got this for the md5 checksum:
Code:
e04970294888313787d0b9d5cb370a12
Which is entirely different than what is posted on the MoDaCo Forum:
Code:
d537e42372a7239dfaf40846ef0b8b4e
However, I could be doing it wrong. This is the first time I tried using md5 checksums to verify a download. However I used two different utilitys to get the same checksum and I don't want to try to flash it again and have it mess up.

I can help fix your problem and it is very simple. READ THE FIRST POST BY PAUL. DO NOT WIPE. Do a Nandriod backup then apply the update. Remember do not extract the rom file with I hope WINRAR, just rename update. Let me know if this solves it for you which it should. Kevin

Maybe I should have explained everything I did step by step, I did READ THE FIRST POST BY PAUL AND DIDN'T WIPE. Before I even tried flashing, I performed a Nandroid Backup. I booted into recovery, applied the update, got the error message I listed, tired to reboot, got stuck, pulled the battery, booted back into recovery, performed a wipe, reapplied the update, rebooted, still a no-go, rebooted back into recovery, performed a Nandroid restore, after it completed, rebooted, got stuck on bootloader screen, reloaded the ROM on the SD card, tried flashing again, still no luck, ended up flashing Cyanogens Bacon1.img to fix the problem.
I want to give it another try, but I may wait and find out if my md5 sum is correct or maybe try another link if someone post it up.

Paul's rom's are only at modaco and I am pretty sure he does not allow other links for I only use his rom's and have one on my Hero Telus, AT&T 3G, and what I like most about them is he keeps them as close to stock as possible, a good thing, and just optimizes them.
Your not going to brick your n1 so I know your gun-shy now but try the link a few more times even and it will work. Also, delete or format your memory card so it the rom is at the root for this might have something to do with it. Want you to have a happy ending. Kevin
The zips are signed, if a download is corrupt it won't flash.

I need to re-format my sdcard, I still have the three partitions from my G1. I will give that a try, but I am still unsure about the md5 sum issue. Not too worried about bricking the device after all I put my G1 through.
Thank you for posting here on XDA also
followed the root step by step. I have S-off, and SU installed... but when i go to install certain roms, I get this.
--install / sdcard ...
finding update package..
opening update package...
E:cant open /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(bad)
not sure whats up with that, someone said its cause I dont have SU, but I followed the root process exact, so what else does this mean? and how can I get other these roms to work -
this rom is Viper 1.2
Did you flash a su zip?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Try the latest twrp 1.0.2 I had the same problem as you, and I redid the recovery tonight, and the problem is gone, for me, at least on the one rom I flashed tonight. I tried cwm yesterday and got an error with that recovery too, but it was a different error, but I am sure it meant the same thing.
Another way around it is to just do a reboot. Your system wont be there so reboot into bootloader and go back into recovery. This worked yesterday for me....
yes neopolotin75 , I did flash the SU file, signed and unsigned....
and yes B-Mod, got 1.0.2 installed, and also again did the signed and unsigned, wiped everything, formatted everything, and still no go....
not sure what the heck. maybe take my phone back to stock, and start over...
thanks anyhow...
disconnect the cable from the phone.....
FIGURED IT OUT - i got my file from mega upload, 2 times..... along with some of the other roms, and they always gave that error...
I now got viper 1.2 from hostfile. it is installing, after comparing the files, mega upload said it was good, but was missing about 2 megs of data.
hope this will help anyone else who gets this error, just try different sites for your roms as they seem to be getting hit hard with lots of downloads.
I had the same issue. If you re-apply the ZIP a second time it works without an error message.

Sometimes. If it's a status 0, 1, or 2 that is usually accurate. Just reboot back into recovery and it works. But if it says "bad", the .zip is corrupt and it needs to be redownloaded.
I have done the latest clockwordk mod and odin 1.85, but im still getting the sign error when i tried to install a new rom...what am i doing wrong? i have installed roms on other phones , i dont know why i cant seem to get this one going? i would really appreciate it, thanks
Is it just one ROM you've tried or every ROM? Try re-downloading the ROM it may be corrupted.
all roms, like as soon as i go into recovery it says it cant verify some sort signature, and then it lets me use recovery, but cant install anything....and i have followed all directions , i dont know what im doing wrong...couldnt do it with cm7 or mui..
sounds like you need to start over:

it is not corruption. boot into recovery mode, choose install from SD card and then select toggle signature verification. Now try flashing your ROM.
nope that doesnt work either i download cm7 and i did the toggle signature thing and still get the same error, e:signature verification, i was able to install MUI, but i go into bootloop...and my recovery version changes from 5.0.3 to 5.06 after installing mui...idk this is so weird i have flahsed lots of different roms before but i cant seem to do it with this phone..
i already figured it out, i installed other roms, just not cm7 but ill figure that out later..thanks

ok, what was the issue: PEBKAC, config or corruption?
Hi all ,
I already know that i'm a noob so forgive my question.
I have a LG P500 unblocked. The SIM card is of a spanish carrier but I think that doesn't matter.
The problem:
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991
Everything ran ok until here "Flash Custom ROM" - Step 7. Everytime I turn on my cell he just get stuck in the silver lg logo. Just that! After reading the guide 300 thousand times, i notice that I haven't installed the CWM, because there is no indication whatsoever in the guide to install it, so it's impossible step 7 to work, right?
So, where I can download the right CWM for this phone and how can I install it manually in the sd card? Which folders I need to create and if it should be in the root or not.
The ROM that I've copy to the sd card (unzipped) it was this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325386
It brings already the "gapps.zip" file, that is referenced in the step 6.
Please don't tell me that the phone is bricked.
The "Emergency Mode" is no good! It's just a yellow screen with small black letter saying: "Emeregency Mode!" and the keys don't work.
So can anyone help me, please!
Thank you very much!!!
follow this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
but to answer your question directly, you can download rom manager from the market, which will allow you to flash clockworkmod recovery. once it has been flashed, reboot into recovery, and direct your phone to the file of your rom (it does not have to be in the root of the sdcard; the rom file should be zipped, not unzipped)
however (once again) i think it will be much more clear if you follow that guide.
root and install through rom manager
or
you can directly flash cwm recovery following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750

I was able to install CWM and make all the backups necessary but... of course other problem has to arise... following the same guide from before, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991
in step 9 says: "9. Wipe Data/Factory Reset, wipe cache partition, & under Advanced Settings, Wipe dalvik-cache, then format all partitions EXCEPT /sdcard.". I was able to format all the partitions except one called 'sd-ext'. I try more than once and gave some error but didn't pay much attention. Anyway I continued following the guide and try to flash this time this ROM 'Harmonia 1.7 (Aphrodite+Picasticks)'. And again happens the same! When the phone boots get stuck on the silver lg logo (I waited 10 minutes because I know the first time a new ROM loads can be quite slow). And again I have to restart in the CWM mode and restore from backup to the stock ROM!
Sorry sound annoying but any ideas of what's happening? What can I being doing wrong?
Thx in advance!

If I'm not mistaken wasn't bumblebee a rom tailored for the OpV but someone got it working with OpT...I'm probably wrong and I sure think I am, clarification? But adding to what sweetnsour gave you, also look under ciaox thread, its a complete breakdown of roms from 2.2 to 2.3.7. Its in the android development section under stickies. Also the thread comes with many other things ie..kernels and tools. Sweetnsour's thread is great as well though

Sorry only answer now...
First, thx to terratrix, sweetnsour, Jrhodes85 and Raffy 97.
Second, sorry for my dumb assumption that any ROM for LG could run in any LG Android phone...
So I can only try to flash a ROM built specifically for the LG P500. Got it! I will search on the ROM's list. Any in particular that you guys recommend?
I'm looking for a ROM with a lighter boot, better wifi connection and in which apps like gmail, yahoo mail and facebook don't get jammed. I also want to remove the tweeter aplication, netlog and specific lg applications from my phone because I don't need it. And the possibilty to apply skins. And not have three different applications for weather and news.
So, suggestions?
Thx in advance!
Get cm7 by mik os .....6.5.8 =)
Then if you manage to successfully install the ROM f flash fserves kernel =)

Ive tried installing the update package from recovery mode by selecting install update.pkg from sd card but i get an error saying e:can't mount update.pkg.
After searching i performed an memory test from fastboot; Sd card test passes but the internal memory test fails and gives an error: Cmd/Data test fail. a few days back my computer had a trojan virus and it was converting the folder into shortcuts. I dont know for sure but i think it could have been the cause of this problem as i plug my phone to the pc almost everyday

The trojan you are talking most surely affect only the SDcard, a friend of mine had the same issue on a different device.
I would recommend installing a custom Recovery like Streakmod, flash 366 bb and a ROM like DSC, Longhorn or LXdroid, as those mentioned have the universal kernel that don't check the BaseBand.
Totally wiping everything is a must!
Flashing recovery can be done easely using the MultiFlashing tool provided in the Android Development section, so all this mess wouldn't take more than 1 hour (with reading and wandering if it's safe - it is safe, ia assure you )
Hope this helps/works

Well, i will update the first post of my LXdroid ROM with a tutorial, if you want a fully funtional with the least amounts of bugs i will recommend DSC ROM.
But this is not required if you want to keep the original 2.2 firmware, as almost all the custom ROM's that i've talked about are 2.3.x.
the tutorial will be written, Your choice

once you have done that... just do the dell factory reset (white text black background menu)...
your phone should be able to start again

As far as i know, you can't possibly install update.pkg using custom recovery, you must install a stock recovery and after that you can flash the update.pkg as it is (update.pkg), changing the extension does nothing
Hope this helps.

I installed the stockmod recovery and then copied the dsc 1.0 rom on sd and installed the zip from the recovery mode... installation was successful but after restart it gets stuck on the logo and restarts again and again... after the installation was complete when i press the back button i gives the error e cant mount innersdp01 or some thing like that... id love not to replace the innerSD until it is the last option... thnkyou for being so helpfull

you just need to change to anything 8gb and below for the internal sd... and dell factory reset should do the trick...
Thankyou

i am glad it is working again... :victory:
light keeps flashing mean your baseband is not matched with the current rom... you should do the upgrade... it is in dsc thread if you read it carefully... it should say something like flashme ... :good:
you may try other rom as well.. if you are interested.. such as longhorn, ics, lxdroid

Search the forum as there should be an article covering the process. In short, you either have to take the Streak apart, or cut away some of the plastic above the SIM card slot to get to the internal MicroSD.
