Sorry to clutter the forum, just really annoyed. Im trying to flash a new rom and every time I do it gives me the error
Cannot symlink system/xbin/su
Error at line 12:
Cannot symlink busybox
Or something close to that. Anyone have any idea whats going on?
Any help would be appreciated. This is just a experiment phone and not my actual phone so no rush haha.
Thanks

I'm trying to install ginger clone r2 on my vibrant. I used ODIN to get back to 2.1 then installed rom manager and CWM. I constantly receive an error during installation of the ROM that reads:
formatting data...
copying files...
E:can't chown/mod /data/app
(operation not permitted)
E:failure at line 70
set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app
Installation aborted
this error happens with any custom ROM that i try to install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have to ask the most obvious, are you rooted man?
Did you check the MD5 (doubtful this was the cause)
it is rooted. i just tried the su command and it came back with #. how would i check MD5?
Eugene posted an update I think, see if it helps
You can check your MD5 with a program called hashtab, google it
yeah, hashtab is great:

I googled your error and someone said their issue was not being rooted, had to ask.
i finally got ginger clone to install. after i opened up the terminal and check i decided to give flashing ginger clone another shot and it worked. maybe it had to do with super user permissions or something because i changed those to allow the su command to work which i never did before. thanks for the help guys!
Hello everybody, It's so long since I've done this, I've probably made some fundamental error I know, forgive me.
I have changed to Samsung Galaxy II, but I am giving my old Hero to a family member, I had VillainRom 13 and I was trying to flash the Hero back to stock with 2.1-ruu-root-signed, I did a full wipe and then flashed 2.1, half way through the process I get an error:
Code:
Copying files
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/flashcp
E:Failure at line 94:
symlink ./busybox SYSTEM:xbin/flashcp
Installation aborted.
Any guidance much appreciated
I should add that I am using RA-hero-v1.7.0.1
*Update* I have now re-installed VR13, seemingly OK, still confused about the failure of 2.1 though
Cheers
Paul
Hi,
You can create a gold card and change the rom.zip to heroimg.zip in the sdcard and then the 2.1 stock should install just fine in the hboot mode.
refer to this link:

Ok, so I followed the instructions here: (I can't post links ;( email me for the threads i went to)
and hereI can't post links ;( email me for the threads i went to)
and when trying to install su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19zip, I get the following message - "E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/su
E:Failure at line 8:
symlink /system/bin/su SYTEM:xbin/su
Installation aborted."
What on earth did I do wrong???
No replies in 7 months? I too am struggling with this. Any help is appreciated.
That is because you can't flash that file via cwm. You need to push the files using adb. In addition I would suggest droidstyles guide because it spells out everything you need to do.

Hey been on these forums forever since i was installing themes on my hp ipac or htc shadow. Not a noob by any meens. Been flashing android since my G1. Now that thats out of the way im trying to flash a ICS leak to mess with the webtop 3.0. I was coming from a stock/rooted .181...
1. I fastbooted to .181 using the droid razr 1.6 utility.
2. then i root using ICS installer Combo.
3. Next i use the ICS installer Combo to install the .79 leak.
4. allowed rom manager and su user permissions. i get an error that it can not mkdir to /sdcardEXT.. is this a normal error? Either way once the phone reboots it starts install but then gets the ! in the triangle and what i assume, fails and reverts back to .181.... What am i doing wrong iv been at it for like 3 hours and im pulling my hair out trying to figure out what im missing. My battery is at 40%, is that an issue? Assuming not since if i can fastboot to .181 i should be able to install .79
Hopefully this makes sense and thanks for taking a look
I had something similar to this happen to me when downgrading-rooting-upgrading my Transformer Prime. It failed the upgrade OTA part because I had modified the build.prop and that kept it from installing the upgrade and I got the ! triangle. Have you changed anything? Frozen any apps? Changed your build.prop from stock?
There is a directory you can look in for the log file of why it failed the upgrade. I think it is under /cache/recovery directory from root. (you have to be rooted to see it and use a root explorer). Open the log file and see why its failing.
Thanx for the quick reply. if memory serves me right i modified the build prop to mess with the s-voice app. so your saying fastbooting wouldnt restore this? if not i guess il have to figure out how i changed it and change it back before trying this install again
Well, I would have thought fastbooting would bring it to total stock, but I had made a change in my build.prop AFTER I had downgraded I believe. I think I would check that directory if you can /cache/recovery for the log file and see whats causing your failure specifically. Again, you'll need a good root explorer (like "Root Explorer") and make sure you have it do root so you can see the sub directories too. I was using ES Explorer and it was not seeing the /cache/recovery directory, just /cache and using Root Explorer showed me the sub folder.
PS> Changing your build.prop back to what it looked like before the change didn't work for me. I had to get a stock, unmodified build.prop form another user on here for it to work.
PPS> Why are you wanting to install the leak? Its pretty much been all but confirmed its happening OTA very soon.
Ok i checked out the build.prop alot of stuff in there but seems to all be correct.
I checked that log file and at the very bottom i get this.
Finding update package...
I:Update location: /cache//Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip

Have no idea what that means tho... If anyone needs the whole log to help me out let me know
Well, thats a lot different than what mine said so your problem is different, but I'm sure someone can help with that info. Heres what mine said when it was the build.prop:
file "/system/build.prop" doesn't have any of expected sha1 sums; checking cache
failed to stat "/cache/saved.file": No such file or directory
failed to load cache file
script aborted: assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop"
etc...

Yeah hopefully someone can, i mean with the ota around the corner this is not too big of an issue as long as it doesn't effect the official ota. Thanks for taking the time tho.
Well, the only other thing I can think of thats happened in the past is the wrong "region" file for the phone you are trying to update.
Like you are on US_ENG on your phone and you are trying to flash a WW_ENG or something so its not matching up? *shrug* just a blind guess. Hope someone can help you out.
This may or may not help, but I got that error back in the day flashing a ROM on my D2. In clockwork there was a option to disable and enable signature verification.
Or maybe the zip is messed up?
See the thing is i did this all through the guide in the dev section. i would have posted it there but i didnt have enough posts to post there, im more of a reader than a preacher. i only downloaded the 2 files with the 2 different batch scripts. 1 to fastboot to .181 and 1 to install ICS. Il figure it out eventually, but thanks guys. hopefully someone gets me there sooner.
**fixed it, i ended up using the permissions option in rom manager and also made sure the phone was over 50% and it worked so hopefully this helps soeone eles if they stumble across it.
So I'm trying to make Google play music save on my sdcard and I'm having a problem with the script. First the phone I have is the DROID RAZR MAXX and I just did a FDR because of a root problem and now that I have it rooted the scripts aren't working. My script text is this
"Mount -o bind sdcard-ext/MusicCache sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music" I'm really not sure whats wrong so hopefully someone here can help me out.
The error it shows is like this:
exec sh '/mnt/sdcard/MusicScript.txt'
card/MusicScript.txt'
/mnt/sdcard/MusicScript.txt[2]: Mount: not found
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot I'm new here and there's a lot of places to visit.
