I'm trying to flash to stock 2.3.4 from Cyanogen 7 and so far I've had no luck. I've tried flashing from both internal and external memory and this is what I get:
Installing: /emmc/234-sb-release.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /emmc/234-sb-release.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I'm opening to flashing to stock by some other method, but I have no idea why this won't work for me. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Try to download the ROM, although it seems you've tried that. If that doesn't work, maybe you are using the wrong recovery? Try romracers recovery, it's the best right now for the Atrix.

what about loading a rom like alien? where as its like stock, based off stock but has some tweaks and upgrades?

Yeah. Alien didn't work either. I'll probably try a different recovery if I have to. It sucks that I'm going to have to put a lot of work into this seeing as I'm not even keeping the phone (passing it along to my dad).
Are u using an old recovery? Use rom managers recovery. (Cwm) if that doesn't work its possible there was data corruption with the rom downloads.

It's really not a lot of work at all, just a few fastboot commands. Probably an issue with the dl though but try romracers in conjunction with a fresh download, most people only recommend the CWM recovery if you're flashing CM7.

Just tried flashing with fastboot also. This is what I get:
EOCD not found, not Zip
error: failed to access zipdata in (then it's just a huge list of random characters that I'd rather not type out).
I've tried this with 3 different roms: 234-w-release.zip, 234-sb-release.zip, and Alien-4.zip. They all had the same result of not working.
But that's not all. I also flashed Rom Racer's recovering (successfully) and tried to flash the same files that way. Still nothing worked.
I find it extremely unlikely that 3 ROMs that were all downloaded on different days will not work at all.
If anyone has anymore ideas, I'll be up for a while.
Also, is it possible for me to flash 2.3.4 using RSD? If so, I can just do that. I want to make sure because I know flashing back prior to 2.3.4 can cause a hard brick.
Are you using the Rom Manager recovery or the custom recovery?
For Fruitcake roms (Stock based roms) needs the custom cwm recovery. Thats here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
edit: do not SBF!! that results in a hard brick
also, download the files with the built in browser's downloader, dont use a download manager, sometimes they can corrupt the zip
I think I've got it to work! I reflashed the recovery you directed me to, download a new file, and it actually flashed this time. I should be good to pass this phone along now.
Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this one! I really do appreciate it!
While I can agree that flashing an sbf through rsd poses a risk of hard bricking your device, I do have to add that it is not definitive. I have sbf'ed twice now, once from pi-crust and once from cm7, so it can be done, but I would also suggest just using fruit cakes.

That's true. I hate when people spread misinformation. 2.3.4 stock .sbf will not cause a brick. Only earlier .sbfs will.

Hey all.
I've been trying to flash ShadowROM onto my eris (got the eris dl off their site), but everytime I try to flash it on it gives me "E:missing file: recovery/recovery-from-boot.p" and "E:Verification failed" and then aborts the installation.
So I then tried re-downloading the rom, but the same thing happened again.
Any ideas on what might be going on? I did all my wipes and everything so I'm not really sure what could be going on. Also I have been using Evil Eris for a while, if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
EDIT: Also I'm currently on 2.1 so I'm not sure if theres anything I need to do to be able to put a 2.2 rom on my eris.

At this time it doesn't work with Amon's recovery. It only will work if you use clockwork, which isn't recommended. I got it to work but I use a rom kitchen and replaced the boot-img.

You don't need to replace the boot.img....the rom just needs to be signed and it will flash fine amon's. Clockwork can load an unsigned rom but amons can't....

Clockwork wont hurt your phone. Also when you go into to clockwork and flash clockwork recovery it will only temp use clockwork as a recovery just to install the rom. After that it will boot into amon.
"Clockwork won't hurt your phone" Boyyyyyyyyy I bet a lot of people with broken eris's would be glad to hear that!

He means that this rom will not work with amons recovery because it isn't signed. You can create a zip that isn't sign, meaning you never used a program that signs zips, but you can't flash a zip in amons unless it is signed. So if you just create a zip it probably won't work, but if you use an autosigner then you will be in buisness. I hope this helps, probably not because I have been drinking.
Just so there's full information in case someone finds this thread in the future.
There was a bug with using Clockwork Mod Recovery with the Eris. They squashed it, at least 2-3 months ago.
Besides, you don't have to get rid of amon in order to use clockwork. Just download ROM Manager from the Market and it will make it so that you can load clockwork from amon. Then you get all the advantages of ROM Manager and clockwork without any hassles.

This seems to be a hit or miss build for the Eris. About 50% (guestimated) of Eris users are unable to boot with v0.2.x and there is no known reason why, even after viewing logcats.
I have dropped the entire desirec device configuration (a mix of kaos & conap) and have forked over a pure conap device config for v0.3.x to attempt to fix this issue. We won't know for sure until v0.3.0 finally releases to the masses. All my testers (even myself) are able to run v0.2.x just fine.
There is no ETA for v0.3.0 at this time.
I'm sorry if this is off topic but I need to ask. Were can you get themes for ShadowRom? Do you just use anything that is for cynogen? Is it best to use metamorph or and update.zip?
I flashed shadowrom using clockmod just fine.

We currently have zero themes for the eris. We rely on themers to provide ports, which none have done yet.

From my recent experience with the SGSII, the recovery is integrated into the kernel (unlike HTC devices which have a dedicated partition for it). My guess is ROM Manager can't flash it, since it doesn't have the kernel image.

It breaks and does weird crap - I've heard it works OK if (and only if) you are currently on CM7.
But since you're most likely using it to move to/from another ROM... Just three-finger into recovery or if the ROM has an extended power menu use that for recovery.
Its best to just use three-finger or the extend menu power menu like Entropy said. I've seen Rom manager mess up leading to a semi-brick phone.
Hey all,
First time poster and new to rooting.
I ended up attempting to use rom manager to load CWM right after root, but I think that borked my wifi.
What can I do if I've already used it? I did it because I hadn't yet seen all the xda threads on NOT using it, and the place I was was not as well informed as you folks.
Also, how do I get CWM if not via ROM Manager?
My brothers EVO was royally effed up from using ROM Manager. Became a paperweight until Sprint authorized a replacement.

I ended up figuring most of this out so I wanted to close this out (for anyone that stumbles past my original post).
Here's what I did:
I uninstalled ROM Manager - but this didn't get the wifi going.
I reflashed with the stock ROM and unrooted kernel - this still didn't help.
I did a factory reset - this did manage to get it going.
I was able to track down a CWM standalone that I flashed it with (using Odin).
I followed that up with a root, a wipe, and then a fresh flash of UnNamed.
Phone seems to be working fine.

When I first rooted my phone I installed rom manager because it looked easier to just pick the file that u wanted flashed and it would do it for u, so u wouldn't have to play with the volume keys. But every time I tried to do anything with it, it just said certificate not found. Aborting. So u shouldn't use rom manager. I think it works with the roms that u download of the app but not ones from XDA.

You cannot get CWM via ROM Manager - that is the point. It comes with certain custom kernels such as Entropy's DD kernel. If you do not have a CWM kernel - you will more than likly need to use Odin to get a kernel with CWM.
If you have totally screwed things up - look in the dev thread for "the return to stock" section and start over doing it the right way

Hi first post as well XDA forums so in depth and helpful decided I wanted to be apart of it. Still a noob though ill work my way up.
I am trying acheive the same goal he is, that is to say Instal the UnNamed (it is exactly what I want) Rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
Keep it brief: Rooted my phone using root exploit:
it will not let me post link. the zergrush one
and bellow flashed clockwork mode using stand alone not ROM because of this forum. Model 5.0.2.6
I wipe catch, battery, then format everything. Then I start to flash the ROM. The installation begins. It cleans and formats everything again, then sais that there was an error in the file and it fails. After this if I dont restore my phone will not start. Ive tried it several times being even more thorough on procedure and its the exact same error every time.
Im just wondering if its the way I rooted it is incorrect, The CWM Im using is not the correct one, or if Im doing something wrong entirely. I think it might be CWM but I have not been able to locate one like he did that worked.
Any help, suggestions, criticism or advice would be very helpful. I just thought Id ask. thanks in advance ^^

You need a custom recovery to flash roms such as cm7. It is also used to make a backup of your phone and wipe the data on your phone. How is it that you've flash cm7 (which means that you've also used your recovery before) yet you don't know the purpose of having a recovery? I think you're going way to ahead of yourself.

I'm guessing it's more of a case of he's flashed cm7, using the recovery to do so, but doesn't understand the behind-the-scenes procedures that go into the actual flashing.
you need to read the sticky thread if you dont know basics
Think of custom recovery as the basic setup/installer tool for anything and everything related to custom ROMs, kernels, etc. .
kdz and lgdrm are only for stock(OEM)/official releases.
The reason you need it, because it's the only way to do it and carrier's don't give you access to change your ROM. Does Microsoft put mod chips/software in xbox 360? No, hell no, they only give you limited access and regulate what content can be yours.
Custom recoveries come with features that you normally can't do, like nand(full phone backup) backup.
It's this way because that's how it has to be done.

Just because your phone is "rooted" dosent mean you can install a rom like a app, you need to use clockwork mod, why do you need it? you need it because it allows you to perform actions that you couldn't do on a stock phone. With clockwork mod you can back up your system files, restore system files, install new roms for use or testing. If your phone is just "rooted" all it means is you can now access system files, use certain "root required" apps, being rooted is step #1 to installing clockwork mod, its like your phone is unlocked, if you just want your phone rooted to delete some system apps thats fine, but it is wise to flash clockwork mod because it can prevent your phone from being bricked and now you can install roms. so the answer is pretty simple, how else would you install a rom without clockwordmod? you couldnt so its just one of those things you need, hope this helps man

apart from all this custom roms come packed as zip files n kdz updater or lgdrm doesnt recognize these files so u need to hace custom recoveries like cmw or twrp or amonra

I don't think that you could do that... since the phone doesn't even come with CM7 in the first place. Doing a factory reset / restore wouldnt bring the phone to stock CM7. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it bring the phone back to FroYo since that's what it came with?
CM7 is already a custom ROM so there is nothing stock about it... Stock means whatever the phone came with from the box (FroYo) CM7 is Gingerbread.

If your running cm7 or any rom you can do a factory/reset through the rom your using, it will just erase all info but wont delete the rom and it will delete apps so when you reboot you will have to set up Google account like a new phone, cm7 will still be installed and your current rom it will just be like new, to do a factory reset go to settings, security then hit factory reset, reboot and then back to a clean start on cm7 there will be a option to erase everything on the SD card, hit no if you want to keep all files on your SD or hit yes if you want it all gone, goodluck p.s the only way you can go back to stock is to flash a stock rom and if you made a backup of your stock rom before you flashed cm7

Pull the battery, put it back. Hold button combo to boot to recovery. Flash the ROM again but do not wipe. Reboot and you should be good.
FFR please list which ROM you are coming from and the ROM you are flashing.

Thanks, for your help!
I ended up taking out the battery, and then rebooting it, and it went to the Recovery mode.
I actually did wiped everything all over again, like you were doing it from the start originally, and it seemed to work fine.
I cant even remember what I was coming from, I had it on my Phone for almost two years, and it was old and the battery life was terrible.
I tried RemlCS-JB its not bad, but I think I am going to try another one. Any suggestions? I have been away from this forum for over a year, so anything recent with good battery life and good GPS is ideal.
The rom did not seem to come with an app downloader such as google play, or Clockwork manager.
Anyone know how to get into reboot recovery mode without clockworkmanager?
When I try to download clockworkmanager online it does not let me really download it.
When I try to install a new Auxura rom it states the following:
It says Installation aborted
Above that, it states please switch Edify scripting
Anyone know, if I have to do something else? I am just doing a normal Clockwork Flash.
I wiped the data/factory set, then tried to install the rom

Did you Odin back to stock before trying to flash a ROM that is a previous version of android? It could cause a lot of problems if you don't Odin back to stock first!
Did you flash gapps on the ROM that you said was missing apps etc?
Gapps is a package of Google apps that devas can't include in the ROM.
I wouldn't use ROM manager, in most ROMs, there is an option to reboot to recovery in power menu. You can also power down and use button combo to boot to recovery.
I highly suggest reading through some of the dev threads for any ROMs you are interested in. It will answer most of your questions and prevent future issues.

Oh yeah, it said to flash GAPPS after, but I never did. Where do you get GAAPS?
No, I dont even have ODIN installed on my computer and all of those drivers, so It is something I do not want to do.
It has been 2 years since, I switched, so I randomly flashed to this new one, but I want to try a different one, but seems to get an error.
Ill try a few other roms to see if they work though.

You can get the gapps from the op of the ROM thread or go to www.goo.im/gapps
As far as Odin etc
If you are on an ICS or JB ROM and want to go back to a froyo or GB ROM, you need to odin to stock first.
General rule of thumb, you can flash up but to flash down, Odin to stock first.
