[Q] Cannot Flash any roms but the one already installed help!! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed the Official_FroYo I i downloaded from the forums, which I originally thought had worked, but this was the version with the Market issue. I therefore downloaded the updated . when i came to the part in the menu Flash Zip from sdcard, i can see the roms on the card, when i select the new one i get
Opening update package
E: Can't open
/sdcard/Official_FroYo_Market_fixed.zip
(bad)
installation aborted
I have tried to down load the file from other mirrors and even other roms such ad opendev, modaco with the same messages. I can open all the zip files on my PC without issues. I can flash the original Official_FroYo.zip file that was still on the scard this works, tried renaming one of the others to this still doesn't work. I tried a Wipe, before and also without a wipe.
Any suggestions anyone, the phone is rooted T-mobile

Could be some bad sectors on your SD card. Formatting it can solve the problem.

Corrupt files with verifying ... :(

Hi,
I rooted myt HTC Hero and I'm trying to install a custom rom.
With EVERY rom I get:
Verifying update package ...
E:Corrupt file:
system/lib/libwebcore.so (this is random!)
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted
What am I doing wrong ? I reformatted my SD card, but nu luck ...
What recovery are you using?
Try upgrading to the latest Amon recovery or make one yourself.
AND/OR
you can try re-signing the zip file yourself.
I'm not recoverything anything .. just installing a custom rom through update.zip ...
Could be your SD card, or it may be that you've been "opening" the update.zip on your PC.
Regards,
Dave
Nope... tried 4 different SD card and 4 rom's ... not openend om my pc ....
strange .... anyone had this before ?
Hiya mate,
I had the same problem trying to install Villain rom 2.0.1 - it turned out it was a dodgy download of the rom file (even though i didn't notice any errors when i downloaded it). Try to redownload it again and see if that fixes it.
Also something to mention is that the corrupt version seemed to happen only when i used a download manager to get the file.
Hope you manage to get it sorted.
Jamie.

[Q] Unable to install Google Market on MTS 3G after rooting and installing CM-7.0.3

Hi Folks,
I am unable to install google apps (Goolge Market). I have cm-7.0.3 on myTouch Slide and as per the instructions I'm trying to boot into clockwork recovery from ROM Manager, and then do as follows:
1. Open ROM Manager
2. Select “Install Rom from SD Card" and select "gapps-gb-20110613-signed"
As per the istruction it should rebbot and show the installation progress but instead I get an error: “E:can't open /sdcard/gapps-mdpi-20110613-signed.zip (bad) Installation aborted.”
I reflashed cm-7.0.3 and tried installing google apps again but I get the same error. I even tried the latest version of google apps “gapps-gb-20110828-signed”. But nothing works.
Now I am stuck without android market on phone. Could you please help and suggest how to fix this issue or any laternative way of installing Google Market on my phone?
BTW I am new to rooting and flashing process.
Thanks in advance…
Try going into recovery from hboot and install the gapps.

Thanks for your reply...
I tried installing from clockwork recovery however when I select install zip from SD card option I get a blank screen and it stays there, nothing happens...Now I have updated CM 7.03 to CM 7.1 but it issue still exists...
If I go into android recovery do I need to rename the "gapps-gb-20110613-signed" to "update.zip" so that system recognizes it and it can be installed.
Appreciate your help.
It's working now
I used a brand new Micro SD card it worked , I was able to install the Google Apps from the new Micro SD card. Not sure what the problem was with the old card though
Thanks...

[Q] Can't Install CM10.1

Hey, so I'm fairly (very) new to modifying my phone and I was having troubles
I'm on Android 4.1.1 on a SGH-T999V phone, but was unable to install CM10.1.
I rooted the phone, did as all guides said to do, and installed the tmo CM10.1 nightly to my computer as well as GApps. I transferred them to my phone via usb and then unplugged booted into recovery mode. I wiped cache and did the factory data reset, successfully on my way to completion, but then when I wanted to navigate into "choose zip from sdcard" I got an error and was not able to go in at all. I was able to go into "choose zip from internal sdcard" where there was also the CM10.1, but the operation failed. I think it said something along he lines of can't mount sd card or something like that. I was however able to successfully install GApps from the same folder and was then forced to reboot without CM, having wasted all my time.
I downloaded cm-10.1-20121224-NIGHTLY-d2tmo and gapps-jb-20121011-signed
What do I do; where did I go wrong? Sorry for my crappy explanation, but I am not extremely tech savvy.
Common issue. Download Rom manager from marketplace and install the new rom from there

Is there a specific marketplace you recommend? I use getapk but many of the files are outdated or otherwise unusable
When I use ROM Manager Premium, I press "Download ROM" and it prompts me to install CWM Recovery, but my phone isn't on list of supported devices (there's only SGS3 MetroPCS). Because of this, it won't let me use ROM Manager. What do I do?
I tried installing via ROM Manager, and I had it delete cache/data, etc but it still didn't work. Says
-- Installing: /sdcard/cm-10.1-20121224-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip
Finding update packag...
Opening update packag...
E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-10.1-20121224-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip
(No such file or directory)
installation aborted.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.

It looks like you might have gotten a corrupt install. Try redownloading it and loading it back on your SD card. Also make sure you have updated and installed any ROM Manager files beforehand

Problems with gapps after installing AOSP ROM

My phone was kinda laggy and I had audio problems during calls while I was on CM 12, so I decided to switch to AOSP 6.0.5.1 ROM. I installed it on the phone and decided to format my SD card afterward. It appeared I had forgotten to install Gapps and after the SD formatting this task came near to impossible. I tried downloading them from the basic browser of the phone, but whenever I start downloading any stuff from the basic browser it crashes and prevents any downloads. I tried transferring them with USB but after this whole thing, my Phone folder on the PC explorer appears to be blank. I finally managed to send the gapps .zip file via Bluetooth but when I tried installing them in Recovery (Touch Philz Recovery) it gave me a Status 6 error. I tried sending the google play .apk file via Bluetooth but it could not be sent for whatever reason. The only alternative that comes to my mind right now is sending another ROM via Bluetooth with gapps set and installing it. Any ideas on how to get the gapps running? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I don't know if that is because of the lack of gapps installed but I tried installing any .apk file from another micro SD card and a message appears that these files (.apk) can't be opened.
Why don't you just reflash the ROM and Gapps in one go?
BTW, did you root the rom? Enable Dev Option? Enable install unknown source? Its AOSP 6.0.1 I believe?

[Q] FP1 softbrick?!

Hey there,
I have a problem with my fairphone (FP1). I recently used it with the ROM provided by chrmhoffmann (thanks for that!) but as I will use the dual SIM function more intensively in the future I decided to go back to official ROM.
I downloaded and flashed it from my SD card. It started and seemed to work until I reinstalled some of my apps (including Xposed). The phone got stuck in a bootloop afterwards, but I could still do a factory reset and it would work again. Unfortunately I had to do this a couple of times.. Don't remember what happened exactly, but I also flashed it again from my card.
At one point this didn't work any longer. My SD card is not recognized any longer, I cannot install anything. I tried a different card and fat32 but no success.
I therefore tried to sideload with adb but the installation always fails immediately. Somewhere I've read that someone had a similar issue caused by missing executing permissions - but I don|t know how to check that without booting.
Next thing I tried was to flash with the flash tool. I have version 5.1320. If I open the scatter files from the offiial ROM I downloaded from fairphone.com I get an error because it's missing some files. ("Item[1] PRELOADER: File not found" etc.)
It would be great if anybody could help me with this scatter file thing and explain me how to check this permissions thing!
