I am trying to flash rom called " ICS Euphoria RC 2.1"
I had ICS Passion, so I tried to wipe first, then flash ICS Euphoria.
However, it failed to flash. So I odin back to stock first, then flash to
Cyanogenmod 7. Now, I am trying to flash ICS Euphoria RC 2.1 again, but it
keep failing. I wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvich, format system,
then flash through cwm recovery mode. I get a message " e: can't
open/sdcard/euphoria_rc_2.1.zip (bad) " when i click to install from sdcard.
Please help me out!!
Download the rom again. File might actually be bad.

Like the personal above said, redownload it. If it fails again, flash a gingerbread bootloader and flash rom

Probarly you need a custom GB bootloader or the file is corrupted or you need to have it in internal/external sdcard wich ever works(I say that cause it happend to me)

Hi,
Currently using latest firmware KI3 with root.
I'm able to use CWM, backup, install zips, everything.
However, if i install a ROM trough a ZIP, i get a boot loop.
Only way to get back the phone, it's to install via ODIN with latest KI3.
Even tried with Litening Rom, and got the boot loop.
Any ideas ?
I was very keen to return to CM7.
Tx in advance.
Did you exactly what's mentioned here?
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Did you try flashing a old stock ROM like KH3, root it then try from this base?
I went from Villain ROM 2.3.5 to CyanogenMOD without any problems.
It's essential that you flash CyanogenMOD !TWICE! in a row when you're coming from a stock ROM.
Thanks.
Gonna check, as soon as i'm @ 127.0.0.1
Same behaviour, back to boot loop.
Tanx anyway!
I had a similar problem so here goes my help.
Cf root kernel uses a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or something like that. So what I did was flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693. Get the kernel with CWM 5.x.y.z With that I got a compatible version of CWM and from there I flashed CM7. It is important that you do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format \system, everything so you don't get any trouble. THen you flash the CM7 zip file, when tha t is done, flash the zip again for a second time (don't reboot just do it after the first flash). After that reboot. That worked for me at least.
A tip: If you can't reboot your phone and you have no ROM zip file to flash via CWM you can mount usb storage from CWM for putting the ROM in sd card and flash with CWM. That way you don't have to use ODIN to recover.
Tanx Tomas.
Tried with CWM 5.x.y.z and upon "WIPE" always got an error for mounting partitions.
Could't mount CACHE, SDCARD .....
Tx anyway.
Back to ODIN, back to stock 2.3.5
PS : I have to get a JIG to reset ...
Apologies this is my first post and am asking for help but this is driving me crazy now!
I don't seem to be able to flash ANY ROM zip files through CWM. When I try to install a Rom it loads for about 20seconds, says "finding update zip" "installing update zip" then "zip installed " then when it reboots it is stuck in a loop on the Samsung logo start up screen (one with the yellow triangle to say it is rooted).
Only thing I can do to get it working is to flash a ROM (new stock ICS one) through Odin, then root and restore from my backup - the only backup that will work is my backup of the ICS ROM none of my other backups work CM7 / CM9 if I try and restore them I just get in to the same loop.
I have tried this loads of times now - factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format system partition. I have tried installing ROM zip files twice etc etc.
This went wrong when I flashed the new stock ICS ROM in odin then tried to do a restore to CM7 not sure what I have managed to do to get it like this.
Anyone any ideas of what I can do to get it so I can install ROM's via CWM again so I can get back to CM7 or CM9?
Any help much appreciated - thanks.
Flash a new CWM and root kernel.
Root + CWM .

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried flashing a new kernel a few times now but still get the same thing when I try and flash a new ROM in CWM, the install takes about 20 seconds then the phone is stuck in a loop at the first boot screen.
Any more ideas on what I can do?
:edit:
aha fixed this now, I followed this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 on Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII had to do the bootloader to get it to work.
Hello my friend has a Vibrant and I rooted it... It's been running AOKP and now it's on ICS CM9... But whenever I try to flash a CM10 or any JB rom it doesn't boot and it just turns on and then goes to a screen where it look like some sort of android surgery with a red triangle and then goes straight into recovery... What must I do? I wiped everything! I've tried many different JB roms and no luck

With the JB ROMs, you will need to flash them probably 3 times. So wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data in recovery, then go to mounts and storage (still in recovery) format system. Flash the ROM of your choice, most likely it will not complete flash and put you back in recovery. If it does, install zip again (no wipes) if it doesn't and tries to boot, pull battery, use button combo to get back to recovery, install zip again (no wipe), this time it might complete but to be sure install zip a third time, again no wipe, install the gapps zip, and reboot. You should be running JB!
No tickee, no laundry!

hi,
I was on CM 9 nightly http://www.cyanogenmod.org/devices/sony-ericsson-xperia-ray
and just tryed to upgrade for the newest version there !
(copy last version to sd, wipe cache - dalvik, flash, reboot)
And now, i'm stucked on freeXperia logo
cant even flash something else (assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")...)
Have you flashed the latest kernel (should be included in the zip)?
If this doesn't work, wippe data/factory reset and flash it again.
If you get the getprop error, open MetaInf-com-google-android-updater-script and delete the first 3 lines (they start with getprop). Pack zip again and flash it :good:

well, i dont know for the kernel : i did (like for my GS2) install zip for sd card, then choose the the CM9 version. Isn't the kernel flashed same time?
i tryed wipe data/factory reset, the flash doesnt work
the MetaInf-com-google.... solution works : i can flash it again without the error.
Thanks bro!
Kernel must be flashed via flashtool or fastboot. How to do that (flashing the boot.img) is in the tutorial for installing custom roms/kernels in my signature :good:

No, xperia phone aren like sammy phone which got separate recovery and kernel partition. In fact, by default stock, xperia phone doesnt even have any recovery. The kernel must be flashed via fastboot before flashing rom. Recovery integrated into kernel ramdisk.
Hello xda,
I've decided to root my xt910 and install cm rom. Root went smoothly however i had problems with the custom recovery. At first i tried safestarps but i couldn't flash the zip it keep aborting the installation :
Set_perm some changes failed. I've tried to install cwm 5.0.8.0 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751826 but i got status 7 trying to flash the rom after factory reset and wiping cache. Couldn't find in updater scripts the assert part that i need to delete to make status 7 disappear because of compatibility. I tried to wipe dalvik cache and formatting system which afterwards i manage to flash the rom. At the end i received message "if rom wasnt flashed on rom slot - 1 phone will not boot!!! This will be fixed soon. "
When i tried reboot system nothing boots. And when i try to boot to recovery i get to stock recovery although i had installed cwm.
Now i end of with a bricked phone. My questions are:
1. How can i unbrick?
2. I backed up nandroid with cwm but i cant acces cwm only stock recovery? Why is that and how can i get to cwm?
3. Why my phone is not booting? I did not flash with safestarps so it wasn't flashed on rom slot-1
4. I only have acces to stock rom, ive download a firmware update Jb 4.1.2 can i flash it with stock recovery to solved my brick?
Am i still rooted? Because i read i need to unroot before updating. How can i unroot if i only have stock recovery?
Please help!!! I can't afford lossing this phone!
Anyone? Please im not sure what can i do. Should i use rsd to flash fastboot or can i do anything else?
