Can't seem to complete flash - Motorola Photon 4G

Hello everyone,
I've been using Th3Bill's CM10, but recently it appears that I've been running into installation issues.
I've tried full factory wipes, but to no avail.
The Aroma installer works fine, but when it goes back into clockwork, it says the installation fails. I see the following:
Rebooting...
E: Error in /sdcard/ROMS/cm-10-20121114-UNOFFICIAL-sunfire.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance!

Reboot from there and see what happens.

So I understand this is what is going on:
"This is usually caused by an incompatible update-binary in edify ZIPs. Replacing it with a compatible one, then re-signing the ZIP, will usually fix this error"
But I have no idea how I got to this point, or how to fix it (I don't know what "edify" is, or what exactly is incompatible). Is it because I used Th3Bill's recovery? This doesn't make sense, as it's worked with previous nightlies.

Well there are no problems rebooting.
It is functionally fine-it's just that it refuses to update to a newer version.

Try downloading the update again. It's possible you got a corrupt download.

I saw that error once. I reflashed with wipe cache and dalvik and worked fine. Dunno.

Thanks for the responses,
however, I already tried a full wipe, and I have also tried different dailies- I'm running an October 30th build, so I've had several builds to try since then.
I think I'll have to do a factory reset and wipe. Does anyone know if this will solve the problem?

[Q] (Q) unable to flash roms through TWRP

I have rooted and rom'd for a couple of years, first on the moment, then the EVO and now the evo 3d and have never run across this. E: error in tmp/sideload/package.zip I have tried 2 different roms and have gotten the same result. I have searched but have been unable to find an answer. Anyone know how to fix this?

What ROM are you trying to flash? Are any of the options under the flash menu checked or have an"X" beside them?
Have you tried reflashing the recovery? Are you using TWRP 1.01 or 1.0?
I am using twrp 1.0.1 and have been trying to flash gbsense-e3d-deck [0.2] and Chogardjr3D v0.9 - Re-Engineered Sense 3.0, I have tried redownloading, reflashing the recovery, I am doing full wipes before flash attempts. I am really at a loss as to what the issue is.
Did you check reboot after successful flash? I don't know if that's what fixed it for me but I had that problem the first time.

I know I had it checked when trying to flash Chogardjr3D v0.9 but not the other because I wanted to flash the netarchy kernel

Hmmm..I know others have had this problem. It seems perseverance is key. Keep wiping, factory reset, etc. It seems once it works once, your good.

I can't flash any roms. I am using twrp 1.0.1 downloaded early this am.
Also, I redownloaded twrp, and redid that so recovery is new.........
Just tried the mik rom, I got the same errors.
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
and with sig verification on I get
E:signature verification failed
mik's rom is signed as well as synergy............
There have been a few others with this problem, but they seem to get past it. I wipe everything but still get these errors. And when I tried to restore with my nandroid, I get stuck on the htc screen, then I pull the battery, wipe, and restore the nandroid again, and it works, but it always takes me two times. Any one have an idea, never ran into this before............
I have no options checked, still get this error.......

This is exactly what is happening to me as well.
Do a reboot. Your system wont be there so reboot into bootloader and go back into recovery.
I had the restore problem too..had to double up.

Bad zip?
Are you coming from a earlier version of cm7?
Or is it a first time flash for the touchpad?

i had the same issue with miui. took me a day to figure it out, as there are few posts on this. you must "wipe sd" in cm recovery before installing the rom. do a backup first. it doesnt touch the webos area.

tried to do clockwork recovery. finished backing up boot, then went to back up system and restarted.
how do you wipe sd? do you mean partition it?
A sort of solution
I upgraded from 3 to 3.5 as well and I got in to a bootloop as well do I downgrade then re-upgrade or what, any help would be great.
EDIT: After posting this I reinstalled 3.5 and it's working but i'm never going to turn off android again at least until ICS

edit: i tried reinstalling 3.5. i tried redownloading it ot make sure it wasnt corrupt. nothing happened. it reboots during the installing system partition.
I wiped the cache and dalvik other than that I did nothing special, then I just re-installed it and it's working so far.

[Q] After installing Kernel, its freezing and restarting

Hey guys, last week I installed MROM (http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-mrom/) and had been using it without having any problem, I loved it. Yesterday, I heard a kernel that can be good for battery life so I wanted to install it. (http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-kernels/ sv build) I installed it and first boot took about 10+ mins. but after first reboot it was normal. And I started having problems like it freezes and the phone shut down itself. sometimes restarts itself. and when using an application (like facebook, dolphin browser, games etc.), it suddenly closes the application.
I also tried to install other kernels but it gives me an error when I try to install it (installation aborted error) . how can I go back to my first MROM times? but I don't want to lose any data in my phone like my applications and settings. How can I do it? Can anybody give me some advice?
Also, what's that MROM update.zip? Is there anybody who knows it? If I install it, does it solve the problem that I'm having?
If I install MROM again, does it delete the apps in my phone? Its an emergency guys, I can't use my phone normally. Thanks in advance.
Happy new year!!
Wipe cache & dalvik cache, then reinstall mrom. Your apps, etc should be unaffected.

I still can't install even MROM. gives an error, exactly like;
--Installing: /sdcard/atrix-MROM-20121111.zip
Finding update package...
Openin update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/atrix-MROM-20121111.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.--
I'm about to lose my mind. :/
you could try to re-install MROM and see where this gets you - do not wipe any data/system when installing and you should have everything still on your phone.
IF that fails to solve problem you could try and use Titanium back up to save YOUR apps (not system apps) and then do a full wipe of your phone and re-install MROM
I'm around for a bit so will check on how you're doing
good luck
when i try to reinstall, it gives me the same error. now im going to back up my all apps and after that factory reset and finally will try to reinstall mrom. I'll write when I do this. thanks
I did everything right, wiped all data cache and tried to reinstall mrom but it gives me the same error :/

what happens when you turn on phone?
are you able to install another rom?
It might be an idea to download a fresh copy of MROM and see if that helps?
also, after putting the new rom on the phone but before installing go to 'mounts and storage' (in the CWM menu list) and format the following 'pre-install, system, osh, data and cache'
I hope that helps.

really thank you for your advices. I did everyting you said step by step. I tried to install other ROM (CM7.2) after formatting the parts that you said, and it was succesfull. after that i tried to install google apps but it's giving me the same error. anyway, I tried to install MROM again but still the same, same error, unfortunately. I'm out of my mind. :/

glad that you got somewhere, If i were you I might try and repeat the steps you used with success (install cm 7.2) and then just add what google apps you need separately and see where that takes you.

I thought, If I try all these steps from the begining, maybe it'd be successful (from stock rom!!) so that I installed back my stock rom with RSD Lite. and rooted, unlocked, installed CWM Recovery. and I have just tried to install MROM but it's still giving me the same error. I really can't understand why... It was like my first day of my phone, I did every single step from the begining, but still the same error. omg

[Q] Fash CM10 on TF201 issues

Hello everyone,
I've got a TF201 that's rooted, unlocked with TWRP 2.2.2.1 recovery. The past couple of nights I've been trying to load CM10 on it with the nightly releases. I've tried a few different ones but they all give me the same result.
Here is what I do:
Boot to recovery
Do Nandroid backup (just to be safe)
Perform factory rest
Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
Install CM10(in this last attempt it was cm-10-20130324-NIGHTLY-tf201)
Install gapps (gapps-jb-20120111-signed)
Reboot.
When it reboots, it just gets stuck at the ASUS splash screen and never goes further. I'm able to power off, reboot into recover and load the Nandroid backup and get back to the stock rom, but I'd really like to use CM10 on this device. As a side note, I'm currently on the latest stock ROM.
Has anyone else seen this or does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thank you!

Likewise. The 0322 posted in the dev forum works for me. I get the same issue when I try to update to 0324 and apparently this is happening for other devices too.

[Q] Borked Radio Help

I am pretty sure that I have a borked radio. I was running a "pre-flicker fix" Avatar ROM and upgraded to the 10-22 CM nightly. It worked great for about 4 hours and then lost the ability to send texts or make calls. I am trying to work my way through the steps to fix a messed up radio. I downgraded TWRP to 2.3.3 so I could apply the stock ROM, but the stock ROM hangs on the boot screen. I did apply the correct boot.img.
What am I missing?

Ok, so I am getting close to having a fully functional phone. I got it working, but it was all luck. (note: I tried each of these steps before, just not in this exact order)
a. I installed a TWRP backup of my Avatar ROM
b. flashed the appropriate boot.img
c. then flashed the Avatar ROM and gapps over the top of the backup.
It is functioning, but I am unable to access the internal storage. In ES Explorer, I can get to "/external_sd/"(which contains files) and "/mnt/sdcard"(which is empty) but if I try to click on the sd card icon it says "SD Card empty, unmounted or not present. I am unable to save screenshots and pictures because of this. This could stem from the SD swap I did.
Now that I have the radio working, I think I want to just start over with the device, without the sd storage, some of the apps are not working correctly. The factory reset I did blasted a lot of stuff. Also my download speeds are VERY slow... it says 4G but I don't believe it. Does anyone have a link to a good walk through on completely starting from scratch on a phone? What is the most stable CM ROM that does not have screen flicker?
thanks for the help guys
I had this exact same issue with 10/22. The radio died, and in the process of trying to fix it, the internal sd disappeared.
I ended up doing a full RUU following the steps at unlimited.io (ignoring the chmod step and the sudo parts of the commands since I'm in Windows). Then, HTCDev unlocking again, installing TWRP and Viper. Now, it seems to be working okay.
I'm having bad luck flashing the CM nightlies lately, not sure if it's just my phone, but I had the same issue even with the 10/18 experimental build.
I did end up getting it going. I built off of what I did in my previous post. I have to format the phone's data partition (mounded via TWRP) to get it to go.
