Hi People
Of some reason I can't install AOSP 4.4 on my HTC One X+. Here's what I've done.
Restarted to factory settings and wiped everything.
Sended the AOSP 4.4 zip via adb sideload
Flashed the boot.img
But I'm still getting this error when I'm trying to install it:
Installing '/sdcard/sideload.zip'...

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/sideload.zip'

Anyone got an idea of what I've forgotten to do, or what I do wrong?

SuperUser is installed. Busybox... I have no idea what it is, but its probally that. I'll just have a look at it.
Hm... I see how I install it from Google Play. But isn't it possible from a zip file or..? Since I dont have any rom currently.

i say in the thread you NEED a different recovery which just so happens, to be in the download bit where you get the rom
Ah.. Sorry. I missed that.
I really can't find the section for HTC One X+. Are there even a version for this? I need the update.zip file, since as I said, I don't have any rom currently.
again ALL the DOWNLOADS for 4.4 are in the 4.4 downloads tab. you NEED to update recovery and re-sideload the rom.
though to be honest, i highly doubt 4.4 is for you. as it's VERY unstable
I understand. But I'll give it a try.
Now you're probably still saying that I shouldn't get that ROM, but its pretty important for me.
However, I installed the Google Apps zip thingy successfully. And I rebooted my phone into recovery again. But it was still in TW. I tried to reflash the boot.img and install the zip but it was still not working.
I got ClockworkMod Recovery installed, but it doesn't seem to be able to install it.

Tried customizing a ROM the other day using dsixda's kitchen utility and after I built the ROM and signed it, I tried flashing. It would open the zip file no problem but after a few seconds while hanging on the installing update, it says error flashing update and there's a line stating "(status 0)". My guess is that I have done something wrong when customizing the ROM.
I have a Nexus S with CWM 5.0.2.3. Does anyone know what this error is and if possible help me solve it?
Thanks

I am on 2.3.4 Rooted and Made a Titanium Backup 4.8.2 update.zip and a TitaniumBackup-4.8.2.zip. Tried restoring from cwm (DroidX2 BootStrap) and it also fails with a Error In /sdcard/*.*.zip (STATUS 0). I chose to make seperate zips one to restore as a System app and the other as User app. I noticed the sign option was greyed out in titanium. I assume it is related with the dsixda's kitchen utility not being installed? It may possibly be due to a missing zip signer, which is doubtful I thought that no one could sign x2 zips?
So we are more or less in the same boat. When I searched for the error via google your post was the first link! If you have any update or suggestions please post back!
Hello,
I have already asked this in the CM10 SGS3 discussion but could not get any help there, so I assumed this will get more attention.
Recently, I tried updating CM10 using CM Updater but CWM failed to update, complaining about signature verification of the update package. The full error was: E:signature verification failed.
Has anyone encountered this error before? If so, how can I fix this? And also - could have been any harm done due to failing signature verification on CWM?
Thanks!

Not on CM, so, never encountered this error before but...does this happen every time you try and update?

Are you sure you have CWM installed? A signature verification error in this case could result in of two possible things: either you have incompatible recovery (i.e. stock) installed or it is a bad/corrupted download. No harm was done, since failing to verify signature just does not let the zip to install.
@Oomahey, I tried this just once since I was not sure about the exact outcome of this.
@hsrars-d, Yes, I have CWM v5.4, I am not making any confusions, it says that right in the title on recovery
I'll try updating this one more time and get back to you.
Thank you for your time!
I had this yesterday on a note 2 and realised it didn't have cwm recovery installed. When I installed that worked perfectly
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Have not tried it yet but is it possible that my CWM version is old enough not to be compatible? It is version v5.4 (dot something-something)
Also, could CM Updater be using a different software on recovery even though when booting into recovery it explicitly says "Clockworkmod"? It does not make much sense to me.
Sorry for double-posting but I had to update that I have tried flashing it again, with the nightly build of 23/11 and it failed again. (after toggling signature verification on "apply new update" and using CM Updater again to update firmware)
Any suggestions?
Well, i have CWM Touch as my recovery, u could try to flash that and then update

Install Rom Manager from market than install latest Clockworkmod recovery for i9300 and that should work , you have an wold recovery
The CM Updater has never work for me, ever.
I'm running the latest version of CWM (v6.0.1.2) and when I try to update via CM Updater I get the following:
Code:
-- Installing package…Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Verifying update package…
e:failed to open /sdcard/cmupdater/cm-10-20121124-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I can also say that if I manually go to "install zip from sdcard" and then select to access the internal sdcard I get the same error
Code:
e:can't mount /sdcard/
Browsing the external sdcard is no problem, only the internal.
I should also mention that my phone is encrypted, if that is the reason to why I can't access the internal sdcard in CWM, I don't know.
The encryption is the problem.

Is upgrading CWM different from replacing it with the stock recovery? Since, as I previously mentioned, I already have CWM installed and am just interested in upgrading it.
I am bumping this since it is still relevant. I am about to upgrade CWM and was thinking of doing this with ROM Manager (rather than heimdall/ODIN). Is it possible doing this from ROM Manager? Is it also more reliable than heimdall/ODIN in the context of bricking your phone?
Hi
I am running a Stock LSD 4.1.2 JB Rom on my I9100 and do not wish to Root my phone. Yes it was rooted once but I have a specific reason for not wanting to revert back to root.
On a few occasions over the past year I have wanted to flash an app via "Recovery Mode", a .zip file located on the phone's external SD card.
On trying to flash, the following is displayed in yellow: -
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have searched and searched this and other forums and although I can find many many instances when this has ocurred with other people I have not yet seen a generic solution to this problem.
It must ocurr because of a certain situation being prevelant within my phone and the references to it on forums usually suggest they are because someone is messing with a Custom Rom and/or a Rooted Kernal etc etc.
Could someone please tell what is happening, why this is the case and what can be done to sort it please.
I would say that my phone is just over 18 months old, never has had a problem, has been flashed with "Stock Roms" quite a few times and all without wiping or restoring to the factory settings. I do not want to wipe it to sort this problem out and am hoping an easy fix is available.
Hope someone can help
ps - I am trying to install the 4.2 Camera via the patched.zip and have tried to install the "Temporary" Clockwork Recovery" app with exactly the same problem. I stress I do not want to Root.
Anyone please?

u have to first flash the 'Temporary CWM recovery .zip' then select 'reboot to recovery' option in stock recovery to enter 'temporary cwm recovery' there u select the 'Camera zip file' to flash.
PS- after flashing 'Temporary CWM recovery.zip' do not reboot ur phone the normal way by doing so u will lose ur temporary recovery.
each time before flashing any zip file u have to flash 'temporary cwm.zip' file first.
Hi thanks but I know this.
Can we get back to my topic please? I would not have posted if I could flash the Temp CWM Recovery. zip file
I just need to know what causes the error I am getting and how I can irradicate it.

As the error indicates, it fails to verify the file's signature. You can't flash unsigned packages via stock recovery. The solution is exactly what was already mentioned to you:either root and install a custom kernel/recovery (you don't want it, that's fine), or use a temporary custom (non-stock) recovery. While I had problems with the stock recovery flashing unsigned zips (obviously), I never had an issue with flashing a temp recovery. Try redownloading and reinstalling it - it could be a corrupt file. Which recovery are you trying to use? I recommend the temp touch CWM by Phil (the dev of the PhilZ kernel; use link in his signature). Always works like a charm.

Nice one! Thank you
It must have been a duff file (temp touch CWM by Phil) as the one I just downloaded, installed without a problem. It was the very same program file but from a different source.
Just installed the 4.2 Camera too so now going to play
Thank you again
Hi,
Unfortunately I am unable to flash another rom and I can't find a fix anywhere.
So my HTC One M7 is currently running on a snapshot of CM11 and at first I wanted to flash Paranoid Android.
When I tried to flash it it said it couldn't, it just aborted. I thought I messed something up so I restored my backup.
Yesterday I wanted to update my CM rom using the built in updater but it gave me the same error later.
The only thing I could find is to update my recovery, though I am running the latest version of CWM recovery on my phone.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance

Usually status 0 is a problem with the update binary.. So I would make sure you are downlaoding the correct roms for your device

I switched from CWM to TWRP and it seems to be working fine now, thanks nonetheless man
Corrupt package ? Just to throw that out there.
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!
