Does it happen with every rom or did u try just with one rom

Try downloading the zip again.
errors do happens when downloading.
or it maybe packed wrong from the start see if theres mirrors.

Just wait a sec
What do you mean with downloading
where do u try to flash the rom
via recovery odin or adb?
In general those error messages appear if there went something wrong with the signing procedure
this often happens with custom roms

Chances are a bad download, as above re download and try again before doing anything else

Every zip from my computer does not work! I wonder if there is some kind of unusual encoding which zip files have?

What do you want to do??

if yes!
you should follow this.
in your flashing Menu

*Flash Zip
*Toggle signature verification

The zip file isn't recognized by the Rom I am using or recovery. I guess I should flash a Rom with fastboot: fastboot flash zip rom.zip.

I don't get it! I have flashed a stock Rom and these errors appear out of nowhere!? I guess I may have to format my sdcard.

Could it be a problem with sdcard partitioning?

How am I meant to return to stock now?
I have voided my warranty with HTCDev and now I can't use any ruu's at all, in case it does not work and my phone gets messed up.

I just had the same error... formating 3 different SD cards didn't work.
I couldn't do restore.
I couldn't use the rom I had installed a few month ago
It didn't make a difference the zip was downloaded by Internet Explorer or Chrome
Solution:The minute I installed a new version (i guess re-installing would work as well) of CWM it stopped giving that error.

no luck
No luck... Nothing works from here... I still get cant open (rom name) zip (bad) ... Any other advices?
I am v6 supercharged and i have riskey kernel 1.5 with stock rom. And btw samsung galaxy pocket

If you reboot does your phone still boot back in to the existing rom? If so I would would start again and re-do CF-root. not sure if you followed this guide but here is a link anyway - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

i've tried villainrom and cognition....currently i'm running on lightinrom but that was flashed through odin....:/
it boots normally back to lightinrom...when i flash the cf root kernel thorough odin it would not boot rather than stay on the samsung galaxy s logo...it's drivin me nuts...don't know what to try.....
have you tried downloading a different rom and tried that?
As sicopat said, it may be worth downloading again and trying that.
What rom you trying to flash?
i've tried sensation rom, villainrom and cognition rom...all do the same...when i press ok to install the rom cwm reads data, says update installation and then immidiatelly installation aborted....someone experienced gs2 user please help....
I would try going back to stock and start from scratch dude. I'm not overly experienced as I've only had my SGS2 a week, but I followed all the guides and didnt get any issues. Seems like its a problem with CWM if its not letting you do anyy roms at all?
You are getting the orange CWM 4.0.0.2 screen right?
Also I would try posting in the Q & A section.

It sounds like you are using the Rom Manager from the Market when you should be using the CWM app.
If you don't have the CWM app and you are using a kernel that has CWM, you need to boot into Recovery using Power, Volume Up and Home buttons then install your zip from the sd card.
Just use the flash update mode.
i tried both rom manager and cwm app separetly...even when i tried rom manager it would sent me to the cwm recovry........do you think it has anything to do with my pc unziping the roms the moment the're downloded????because that happend and i compressed them back to zip files.....:/

Yes of course, you should not be unzipping the files because it corrupts them. Do yourself a favour and become more familiar with flashing instructions, it will save you a lot of panic and anxiety, like what you have just been through.

Remove twrp2 and return to CWM?!?

I installed twrp2 on my I717 Galaxy Note and want to return back to CWM. Does anyone know how to do this? I have all my backups in CWM and want to go back.
Please Help
Just put CWM.zip on ur sd card and flash it.
Twrp should be replaced with CWM.

I found cwm sketchy with backups and switched back to braways. I had cwm touch installed and ROM manager(finally supported) but the issues were too many.
I found using "flash touch recovery" from my tools in aospxxx works nicely.

You are right! I should have been more specific! I know better! The error is: "No applications can perform this action."
Are you sure that's a recovery flashable zip, and not just a zipped up .tar package for Odin?

The file contains a directory called META-INF and recovery.img...
That's for recovery, the Mets-inf folder is the script to write the recovery.img
That's weird, You may try downloading the zip fresh, or if ask else fails grab the Odin flashable tar and use that.

Now, I can run TWRP and run it from there without any ill effects (meaning, a bricked phone!), yes?
Yup.
Given you download the correct file for this device.
If that still fails, which I dunno why I would, it should go without saying The Odin file, will need Odin a pc and a Usb cable

That has the Odin flashable cwm touch file... that version is outdated so after flashing that, you'll have cwm, but flashing a newer Rom zip might end up with a "status 7 error" in recovery.
At that point I'd personally use goo manager go grab the latest version of a cwm zip, that'll be usable in the version of cwm I posted above.

Are you saying I should _not_ use TWRP to put CWM on?
No, it should work, just saying if it still gives you the proverbial finger, Odin is your friend and that version is just the latest with an Odin .tar
So to have your cake (cwm) and eat it too (flash new roms) you'll need to update your recovery from that older version of cwm
So you said you get an error when you tap to install? You should be flashing that zip in recovery like you would a ROM or mod. Is that what you did? After it installs just reboot recovery within twrp and bam!!! You'll have cwm.
Thanks so much for your help...my problem remains, so I may go back to a stock ROM for T-Mobile, since that is my provider, and see if I can solve it... Before I installed CWM, I could sms/mms to my e-mail address...I can't any longer.

CWM recovery.zip

Hi
Does anyone have CWM "recovery.zip" for Gtab 10.1 GT P7500. I can only find md5 and .img files. I am refering the latest version 5.5.0.4.
Thank you
I asked around for this a few days ago and a guy posted a link for me...I can't find it now...darn it!
I read in another thread that you can use ROM Manager to flash your IMG though. If you still have that zipped up, park it on your SD card, open ROM Manager and go "install zip from SD Card". Select it and flash and I think you will be okay...I have never tried it that way though.
Can anyone else confirm this works? Or if you are brave give it a try and let us know!

This is the GT-P7500 CWM recovery 5.504 with Odin3.
View attachment Tab10.1Recovery.zip
There are some issue upgrade ICS 4.0.4 with rom manager.
like boot loop, screen rollong in CWM recovery mode. maybe not affect by Rom manager...
but most issue reply with rom manager installed.
For rolling screen there's a fix,flashing custom bootloader,but causes issues on official ICS at the moment...

Thank you for your files. Just to explain why I need it: since i am a linux user i try to flash my tab using linux. The following procedures did not want to work:
-Adb / Fastboot
-heimdall
-flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img.
The only method to flash the recovery for me is flashing it with the recovery as a .zip file and then rebooting the recovery. In this way I was able to install CM10 Jelly Bean on my tab.
Cheers.

Did you zip it up first? Don't extract it.
You can use Mobile ODIN to install the .md5 recovery if you're rooted
The pro version is on the Play Store or the lite version is free in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
I don't think that zipping the image solves the problem. As far as I know you have to zip it without compression. It would be helpful if there would be a how-to for Linux in this case.

Did you use Rom Manager to boot to recovery? I don't know if it's the same on i9100 but the i777 has issues with Rom Manger, with the recovery part of the kernel. I know CM comes with, I haven't researched it but maybe something to look into...... It kinda sounds like you formatted the ROM. GL

Flash siyah kernel via odin and that should give you a fresh copy of clock work recovery if its corrupt?
Rom manager is nothing but trouble.It done the same thing to my x10i and my sg2.
It took several hours to get them back to running cwm(so I could restore my nand backups).
I think I used doom lords easy rooting kit for one and Odin for the other.
I've done a lot of stuff on several phones and I can state that after using RM it left the phones as close to full brick as you can get........lol

Yup, there's your problem. Rom Manager flashes incompatible kernel.
Simply boot into download mode and flash Siyah kernel and you will be back up and running.

can any one provide me way to flash a rom using odin...
i can use CWM... not even with the hard key combination...
only way left is i guess Odin..
Odin cannot flash .zip formats and all the rom downlodables are in .ZIP format...
is there a way out?

Hello, I had that too
Follow these steps to unbrick your device:
1. Take the battery out of the device and wait a few seconds
2. Put the battery back in the device and wait a few seconds, again
3. Boot into Download Mode -> It will say "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select...." again. Ignore that!!!
4. If you haven't done it yet, download the stock ROM (Kernel and ROM) for the 3.6 US here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741
5. Start Odin and select the tar-file from the stock ROM in the PDA section
6. Connect your Player, wait until the device is recognized...
7. Flash!
8. Disconnect it, and reboot
If this solved your problem -> Put "[SOLVED]" in your title
If not -> PM me!

Well. That's what I did that allowed me to get into download mode. The problem is it only got to 54% and then said it failed. My galaxy player booted into android recovery but it had a bunch of errors and I couldn't really do anything.

Well, the file uploaded successfully, but it still booted into the android recovery with all the errors. I'm not sure I have the right file or I don't have all the files I need
Update: I flashed the US version kernel found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198234) and I got into CWM recovery. I don't know what to do from there though.

Use cwm to wipe data and cache dalvik and reboot
If that doesnt work then cwm wipe data cache dalvik and system
Then boot into download made and reflash the rom

The ROM would be the stock system image you get from here (http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=166) right? I reflashed that and it still booted into cwm. Does anyone have any suggestions?

When you go into advanced, select show log and can you send me the output? Thanks.
In your situation, If you're loading attns stock ROM, you need to load his kernel as well.
And that ROM only works in Odin, no idea why it won't work in heimdall, but it won't.

Try:
1. Download safariking's KingOS for US
2. Boot to CWM
3. Mount USB storage in the mount-menu and connect to PC
4. Copy the KingOS zip to the internal sd-card
5. Unmount USB storage
6. Flash KingOS-zip
7. Do factory reset
8. Reboot
Good luck,again, MrBrubble
