Hey everyone first post here at xda. I've been trolling around for a while and can usually find a solution around if I run into a problem. So first off here is the low down on my phone.
I'm running
hboot 1.19
radio 1.12.11.0809
twrp 2.3.3.0
S-on
I'm running cm10
Now the problem I'm having... I have decided to switch to Meanbean and have the ROM downloaded and put on my phone's storage waiting to be flashed. I've tried it a number of times while wiping different things. And every time I attempt it I receive the same error in the log "unable to open zip file".
I thought I may not have enabled debugging so i restored and made sure it was all enabled and tried again same error. I have reinstalled TWRP.
I also tried updating the htc software like mikey recommends in the Meanbean thread. However when I relocked my phone I was unable to get it to boot so that I could run the RUU.
I've tried everything that seems logical to me and I don't know what else I should do. I also don't know where else to look. I haven't been able to find anyone having this very problem.
So if anyone has a suggestion that would be great.
I'm open to try any solutions. I don't want to be stuck on cm10 for the rest of my days. Not that its a bad rom in any way.
It will be easier for you to go s-off...did you download via comp or phone?..are you running windows? And don't ruu if you're going to update, relock and take ota....beware, hboot 2.09 has been known to give fits

Did you bother to check the md5sum? It could have been a bad download
It was a bad download. Had to learn how to check an md5. So thanks for that.
Couldn't even open the zip on my computer. Found the proper md5 value from android file host. Re-downloading now. Thanks a lot.
Ill take it from there.

Use twrp 2.3.1.0
You should really update your firmware also

Hi everybody,
I've got an error when trying to flash my legend, or even enter to the recovery.
Here you got my specifications, in order to give you an idea:
S-off
HBOOT-1.00.0000
RADIO 7.13.35.05
I have an OTA 2.2 update, from Vodafone
I've rooted the device with "unlock root" some weeks ago.
ROM MAnager 5.0.0.6 with successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery: 5.0.2.0
The problems:
When I try to boot into recovery (for example, when in ROM MAnager I try to backup my ROM, or install a ROM from SD card), I get this message:
" E:can't open cache/recovery/command "
Then appear 4 options (blue colour): reboot / apply sdcard: update.zip / wipe data factory reset / wipe cachee partition. The 2 wipes work OK, the reboot also, but when I select "apply sdcard: update.zip" I get next message:
" Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted. "
When I try to open bootloader, I get this message (it appears but disappears 1 second later):
" SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image
SD checking
Loading legediag.zip
No image
Loading legediag.nbh
No image or wrong image "
I get also an error message in ROM Manager when I do "Fixing Permissions". First I got a Superuser window "SuperManager has been granted Superuser permissions" but then a ROM MAnager window "An error occured while attemting to run privileged commans!".
I've tryed uninstalling and reinstalling ROM Manager, Factory reset, everything, except Wipe Dalvic (not sure about what it does).
I'm not sure what's not working. Is it the recovery or ClockworkMod ?? Is the HBOOT-1.00.0000 the problem ? Is a disfunction of the SD Card (i've not tryed another card...).
Not sure if it could be associated to the same problem but now when I plug the phone to the PC the phone don't ask me if I want only charging mode or USB drive, even if I fix the behaviour (ask always or USB drive default). Not sure if it's related or not.
So, I'm a bit lost. Anyone has any idea ??
Hi, I only having s-on, I can't flash custom recovery, so have never seen how it really works, but what your describing is your stock recovery hasn't hasn't been replaced with custom recovery (clockwork mod recovery) and is still looking for update.zip in the root folder of your SD card.
Maybe look for an update.zip in the xda forums and put it in the root folder and see if that helps.
Found this for you

Hi escombralls,
i think, you are the first who used the "unlock root"-tool wihtout boot-problems after that.
Maybe, this tool nevertheless did not work correct. All other legend users had no success with this tool.
You should use a guide from this forum for rooting ...
if you are in the system recovery and the top part say...
Android system recovery <3e>
you cant use the fake flash...
you can find guides where everyone uses with no problem to properly root your legend from the forum.
than you'll notice after the process (downgrade to 2.1 step) when you go to recovery you'll notice the top part of this bunch of blue words say...
Android system recovery <2e>
than you can use the fake flash...
head here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
for the fake flash and follow Blay0's simple rename copy instrutions...
with this fake flash (CWM) you can start flashing other rom and also partition your card (remember to backup important stuff before you do anything)...
good luck
OK, thanks for your inputs.
First of all I will try with another update.zip file.
If the problem persists, I will follow one of the guides for rooting...
I will keep you informed.
Whenever I attempt to flash a ROM via TWRP, I get an error that says no MD5 file found and it just says Failed.
Am I placing the .zip in the wrong location on the SD or am I missing something else entirely?
I'm unfamiliar with HTC phones, I've been with Motorola for the past few years so please enlighten me as to what the issue might be.
Just to make it clear, I am unlocked and rooted and I've flashed the boot.img before attempting to flash the corresponding ROM.
have u upgraded ur hboot version??perhaps u have to move the rom zip into phone storage...are u changing the name of the rom zip???(dont do that)
try reflashing TWRP from fastboot...
turn Force MD5 check on all zips off
Hello, All.
It seems I'm pretty close to bricking this thing so I thought I would ask you guys for help.
I'm not that experienced with this kind of stuff, but I was able to unlock my bootloader, and installed a custom recovery TWRP, using the Droid_Incredible_4G_LTE_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1 from hasoon2000,
It won't let me install a rom to the device. Been having some trouble with ADB as well. Seems like it won't recognize the phone when it's on the bootloader menu, but it will when it's in recovery mode. So using ADB i pushed a rom file to the device while in recovery and was able to get it on the sd card, but when I try to load the rom using TWRP it gives me an error msg. I thought that I might have to get rid of the old OS first before loading a new one so now I don't have an OS at all.
I feel like I'm missing something here, like I skipped a step or something... do i need to flash the kernel, or relock the bootloader? Confused as to why I can't load up a rom.
Thanks in advance for any help. Much appreciated.

before flashing a rom you should go into the wipe menu of twrp and wipe everything. Then install the rom zip. What error are you getting when try to flash the rom?
Sorry for the late response. I guess I don't really check my email without a smartphone.
Ok so in TWRP I go into wipe, and do Cache - Successful! Davik Cache - Successful! System: Successful! Factory Reset - Failed (and in the list it says:
updating partition detail...
unable to mount '/sdcard' a buncha times.
Then if i try to install a rom from the sd card it says
Failed
Installing 'external_sd/rom.zip'...
checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
assert failed: write_raw_image('tmp/boot.img". "boot"
E:Error in /external_sd/rom.zip
)Status 7)
Error flashing zip 'external_sd/rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
I guess what makes no sense to me is that it can't mount the sd card. Does it need to be on the internal "sdcard" instead of the mini sd I have the file on? IDK so confused...
Thanks for you help.
Bug...
Hi, Ok auto kill is good but i have a real problem... I like reminders app that Google Keep vs Evernote, but i don't can use. I set the reminder note for tomorrow and when time is coming, i don't have any notification/ remained... Help me please!
Hi all,
I've got a P7500 running CM 10.1. A while back it rebooted after Chrome froze and ended up stuck in bootloop. I've had that happen before so I figured I'd just install the ROM from zip again. I don't remember all the things I tried to get the tablet to work again so long story short here's the situation now:
- I currently have no ROM installed
- I run TWRP 2.7.1.0
- I am able to flash
- I have a CM10.1 nightly on /sdcard
- I cannot enter fastboot mode (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/twrp-wiped-device-o-errors-t2444927 looked promising ...)
Now, when I try to install the ROM from zip I get errors along the lines of:
E:error: Not a directory
E:error opening '/data/data/org/mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/338zfnx2.default/Cache/B/02'
E:error: I/O error
E:unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-10.1-20140112-NIGHTLY-p4.zip'
Updating partition details...
E:error opening '/data/data/com.google.adnroid.gms/cache/logs/com.google.android.gm'
E:error: Not a directory
and so on.
I'm also unable to sideload the stock ROM. The log says that it's unable to access /sdcard. I also can't mount /sdcard through sideload.
Any ideas? I'm going crazy. I've spent a few weekends on this so far with no results and really, really need my tablet back. :'(

Hi, thanks for the response. I had been thinking along these lines but was unable to find a flashable stock ROM. I have it as zip but not as MD5. Do you happen to have a link to one?

Hey, I managed to get back into the device. Two important things here:
1) The TAR can be extracted to provide a flashable MD5 file
2) I had downloaded the ROM for Germany. I forgot that the Tablet was purchased in the Netherlands though. When I flashed the German ROM it said something about CSC and PHN. PHN was the code for the Netherlands. I downloaded that ROM and flashed it successfully.
Lots of time invested, lots learned. Thanks!
I am trying to flash my HTC One M7. I bought this device from T-Mobile.
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8 (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-m7.img). However, whenever I try to flash anything, it give me an error. I am using Cyanogenmod snapshot build (cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m7.zip). Aso tried latest nightly build.
Steps I am following:
Wipe data/factory reset -> Yes - wipe all user data
install zip -> install from sdcard -> select the zip file
Log:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I get same error whenever I try to flash anything. Either it being UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.zip or GAAPPS. I have also tried TWRP (twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img) still same error. Right now, except recovery, hboot and fastboot nothing else is working. When I try to boot the devices, it shows the initial HTC boot screen and gets stuck there.
I am following the instructions from here: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_m7
What's might be reason for it or where am I going wrong?
Use a different rom. Or a more updated one.

Found the issue. It was due to safari auto-unzip file after download. I was making a zip of the file again.
I used chrome to download the file and voila it worked perfectly.
