Can't install any 4.3.1/4.4 ROM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends. I got my Galaxy S2 I9100 one week ago, it's a pretty cool device but that's not the point. The point is that I can't install any Android version that's higher than 4.3 because by installing I get an error like this:
"Installing: /emmc/cm-11=20131129-r3p2-INFECTED-i9100.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /emmc/cm-11=20131129-r3p2-INFECTED-i9100.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted"
What's the problem? I can install older Android version's without a problem but no 4.3.1 nor 4.4 :crying:

Have you checked that the file is not corrupted? I'd try redownloading the file and trying again.

(bad) means mainly that the download one bad ;D
so try to redownload like @daimaah sayed :highfive:

Have you tried using another kernel? Are u sure you are following all instructions? ( You maybe need to put files on internal sd card instead of external etc.) Can you tell us what steps you follow when you install 4.4?

Checksum..
Compare the checksum to verify if the file is corrupt!

Ok guys, problem is solved! I flashed the stock CWM Recovery and then installed SuperNexus 3.0 ROM and it works :cyclops:

have you ever flash the recovery?

Evening,
Before I get bashed for starting this thread, I have searched the forum and Google but I have not yet found an answer. Also I would post this in the developers forum but I don't have rights to do that yet (post count too low).
Anyway I have been trying to flash my Galaxy Ace with clockworkmod 4.0.0.9 and I cant get it to work, I bought ROM Manager premium to try as well to no avil. When attempting to use the .ZIP file in the recovery mode I get the following:

I am using ClockWorkModAce.zip downloaded from this website, I have tried to download the file again in case and that made no difference. Tried using ROM manager to apply it and that failed too. Tried it when phone was rooted and also when not rooted (after fresh Odin flash)
Using S5830XXKPH
Please help, I want to try some of these cyanogen ROMs that I have seen posted on here. Many thanks in advance for any help

Download cwm from here
http://www.mediafire.com/?lv3fbcp1fipxqfg
or if already downloaded go in recovery mod by long pressing home+power
and update from sdcard and select cwm file you put insdcard and install
now reboot.
Now when again you go in recovery mod you found it
and remember never install rom manager it cause brick many ace
Thank you for your reply, however I still get the same message appearing when I try to install CWM... Not being able to find anyone else reporting this problem on the internet I am baffled. hmmmm
Wish I didn't bother paying out for the premium rom manager now, didn't realise it could brick my phone.

What msg come when you trying to install cwm ?
Rebooting the phone and holding power & home button,
Selecting update from .zip,
Then choosing the CWM file, I then get this appear:

Dude if not able to install cwm then how about to install rom like coderom 2x or fla.sh1 or any that kind of odin flashable rom. So you can flash it through odin and it have cwm preinstalled so you can then install cynogen mod
and you tried cwm from link i gave?
Or flash first kpb then cwm
Thanks for your help I will go off and explore more into one of the ones that I can flash through Odin. Is there one that you would recommend to assist me on my way to cyanogen mod?
Yeah tried the CWM in your link, do I stand a better chance for using CWM if I flash kpb first?
Thanks given for your assistance

Cwm not installed may cause you done some thing wrong with kph
so.flash first new firmware whether kpb ,ddkq5 or any other
so you can able to install cwm
I will give your advice a go and post back with the results, you sir are a gentleman... thank you
well I managed to flash with Coderom.v2x with Odin, have tried with a couple of different cyanogen ROMs but neither worked. Still got the same errors as above.
I cant be that unlucky that anything I try doesnt work... I must be doing something wrong but I dont know what!!
Well I certainly don't understand how you are flashing from a directory "sideload package". I forgot about the stock recovery menu, is there a choose zip to install function?
I get exactly the same error, but not when I flash my phone, but when I try to root it.
I flashed it with no problem (S5830LUBKP7), but when I try to root it with either up_1.zip or AceGingerRoot.zip, I get the error

Clockworkmod

Okay, so I've rooted my phone and installed Clockworkmod.
Before I even think about attempting to install a new ROM I thought I'd back up my existing rom.
I've dl'd clockwork mod yet when I try to create a backup i get...
--Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

I'm new to all this and I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. Hopefully someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance...

That text looks like what you get when you are trying to install a non-signed package and your signature verification is turned on. NOT when you are creating a backup.
Make sure you are choosing backup, not install zip file. If you get that text when choosing a backup, something is wrong with your version of CWM.
Where did you rebooted to Clockworkmode from ROMmanager??
try with Vol-up+Home+Power and select backup option from CWM menu

It is indeed when I try to use ROMmanager. Ihave Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5) I select "Backup Current ROM" and get the message I posted above.
If I turn the phone off and then try VolumeUp+Home+Power the screen only flashes once and thenjust stays on download mode screen...
strange!!! download mod comes with vol-down, not vol-up
OK, you just flash TAR version of CF-root for your matching kernel, or Siyah kernel from ODIN
and forget ROM manager....there is a compatibility issue for Rom manager and the CWM flashed from that with SGS2
feel free to ask if you dont understand
JUST FLASH STOCK TO GET BACK TO OLD ROM!! you can find all you need in my signature
Ah, Vol-Down... D'oH!
Ok tried that and now I still get the same as before...
Android system recovery <3e>
Enter: OK key. Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/Factory reset
wipe cache partition

I rooted the phone using SuperOneClick...
Do I need to install a custom kernel?
no problem, just flash Siyah or CF-root
you can get CWM working everything flowlessly
I will try that...
Thanks...
Hmm, when I flash the Siyah kernel (using Odin) the phone won't reboot...
I have to reboot in download mode and flash a original BUKG2 kernel to get the phone working again.
I have tried downloading insecure kernels but whenever I try to unzip them it asks for a password?
did you try CF-root

When flashing Siyah, did you flash version 3, or 2.6.14 or lower? Version 3 and up is for ICS only.

Indeed. Please take this lesson to heart; read the entire thread of the thing you intend to install or flash before actually doing so.

You need stock recovery to install the update.zip file. Use SP flash tools to reimage your phone back to S119_ROW then avail OTA updates in sequence like : S123_ROW then S124_ROW and then S220_ROW and finally S221_ROW
You can do the rooting extra after this. Do not install custom recovery before the final update.

Well, a few potential issues I see...
1) You're trying to install a stock rom from the OEM on a custom recovery
2) Your CWM is out of date for newer versions of Android
3) Your build.prop (located in /system) has a different product code which is why it gives you the Status 7 error
Haven't played with that particular phone, since it isn't offered where I live, but quite certain the main issue is number 1. OEM updates are meant to go through the stock recovery.

Did you even bother to look into what I told you or you're just waiting for someone to hold your hand through everything? Put the stock recovery back on and try again.

So now I'm confused... You already have CWM installed, so obviously you've been through the process of installing a recovery. So you just need to find the stock recovery and install it and try the update zip again. You can't accept official updates when you are using a custom recovery. This is the same with EVERY android device. I really can't break it down any simpler as this is the most basic way of saying it.
uninstall cwm

You already have the stock rom, which you mentioned on the 1st post. This kind of thing seems a bit over your head. You might want to see if there is a competent shop around you that can help you with this before you make it worse...

Try the stock rom now with the stock pit, if that failed as well, you might need to get your phone fixed in a service center.
