thats because the rom you are trying to flash has no signature, all you have to do is use a recovery that lets you flash unsigned .zip's, the latest version of clockworkmod recovery that comes with the unrevoked flash tool lets you do this

I did what you said and it worked from what i can tell and it loaded on AuraxTSense. The problem is at start up now it just says loading, this may take a few minutes to complete and just hangs there. I can't do anything with it and i can't change the rom from the recovery menu so now i'm even more stumped.

at witch part is it saying please wait? has the rom booted? did you do a full wipe before flashing? try doing a full wipe from the partitions menu in recovery and re flashing the rom

rebooted it and this time it just loaded up properly. Strange but hey.

Thanks for you help on my previous problem. It's basically the same issue but i've also tried deleting the partitions in the recovery menu. I've tried changing the rom from clockworkmod, nothing is working. It just puts AuraxTSense back to default.

Installation aborted

Alright ive been trying now for a few days to flash a new cm7 nightly. Ive tried a few things, diffrent versions of cwm an tried via rom manager (install rom from sd card), tried fake flash a recovery and flashing .img recovery but i always get the same error.
Something like "finding package, opening package, cant open /sdcard/"romname", installation aborted"
Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?
I want a new rom or atleast a newer nightly

In CWM it'll be "toggle signature verification" I had this problem once and that was the solution!

Anyone?

I had the same issue a while ago, re-downloading the ROM zip worked for me
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

Yeah re-downloading the ROM was best fix for me, I remember it did it twice or three times before one actually worked.. alternatively you could always flash a different recovery (properly not fake flash) and see how that goes.

To make sure the download is complete, check the md5sum of the downloaded file in case you have one to compare. Otherwise, you could ask in the corresponding thread for it.

i flashed the newest cwm i found and still got the same problem, i've downloaded about 10 times but i always get the same error.
But i how do i find out the md5sum?

hmm.. try the recovery from my signature, flash it via fastboot.

Nothing worked so far.
Will try RA-Desire CM recovery when i get home ...

Hello, xda! I'm such a noob here and maybe this question will be stupid. I rooted my Htc One X two days ago and now cann't update firmware up to 1.29.401.11 from 1.29.401.7. Tried to goodle it, but didn't find anything helpful.
Here is what i tried to do:
1) In settings- update os
2) It said that here is a new one
3) Download it
4) Press "Install"
5) Phone is rebooting
6) ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.2.7 opened
7) Error in the bottom of screen:
Code:
"Finding update package..."
"E: unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD:Download/blah-blah-blah.zip]
"E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD:Download/blah-blah-blah.zip"
"Installation aborted"
8) I tried to install it manually, choose "install zip from sdcard" and click on file->Yes, install
9) Errors again:
Code:
Installing /sdcard/Download/blah-blah-blah.zip
Finding update package...
Opeing update package...

What should i do to update my firmware? Thx.

You need to flash stock recovery and make sure you haven't deleted any system apps or flashed any system mods for the ota to work.
Or you could update using a ruu, it wipes your phone data but you get a fresh install

Flash stock recovery? can u give instruction, please?
I don't wanna ruu in this case.

Have a look at this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25656320
Put your phone in fastboot usb, run the program and pick the option for flash stock recovery. Then pick the recovery of the version your on, hit enter and jobs done

can someone give step-by-step instruction? I can't get it ><

Download the program in my last post to your pc
Put your phone into fastboot then connect to pc
Double click the run me file on your pc and wait for the program to pop up
Pick the option that says flash stock recovery
Then pick the option to flash 1.29 recovery.
Reboot your phone then try the ota

If you do not know even the basic steps to unlocking, flashing etc... then I suggest you stop right now before you end up with a $800 paperweight on your desk.
There are a number of threads in the Dev section that give you step by step instructions on what to do, just search. If you still don't understand then read again. If you still don't understand after reading again then stay clear of rooting, it's not for you.

I unlock it and it's working good. I flashed some programms, but i just don't know how to update, cuz in ClockworkMod there is nothing about firmware update.
I tried to search, but didn't find exactly what i need.

I guess you did not relock your bootloader.
You should follow this tutorial.

Hi Guys,
I ahve the same problem. I unrooted my phone, flashed stock recovery, locked my bootloader and resetted to factory default. It still won't update and gives a "warning" logo and then resets as if nothing happened.

I had the same errors.
I could't recovery - it just keept rebooting to fastloader.
I send it to be repaid but was told that the phone was parallel import and it would cost me the same as a new phone to fix it bcos of new "motherbord"...
It seems reasonably. The box did't have any danish manuals and the firm closed down few weeks after I bought it (danlet.dk). The repair guy said it was ment for Germany...

You could try one the custom roms based on 1.29.401.11 which is flashable in clockwork recovery along with the kernel via fastboot.

If you have Clockwork Recovery installed you cannot update over the air. You have two options:
1) Flash back to Stock recovery, update OTA and then flash Clockwork again
2) Flash a custom ROM that is already based on .11

i remember seeing error 7 before on a rom i tried to flash.. i was using CWM so its not the recovery's fault. turns out there was a problem with the rom...
so find another rom to flash would be my answer for now.

The problem is that i get this error whatever i tried to flah. Even cwm or some other rom result in same error

What procedure are you using to flash? What file are you trying to flash and where did you get it from?

I start up the phone using volume down and power. Then in teamwinner i chose install zip and then the file
so far have tried, all downloaded from here or linked from here, those files
CWM-Touch-6.0.2.5-DJ
Hellybean-20130405-crespo
TWRP-2.4.4.0-DJ
jellyshot_crespo-v3.3
nothing works. all of them exist with error 7

Fair enough about the roms, but why cant i even install cwm? This shows me just the error 7 too

I wouldn't be surprised if your recovery is either not for your device or not even a flash able zip.

Where did you get that CWM? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager? If so those are img files, for flashing from fastboot. But I have no idea what "DJ" is for. To flash from recovery it needs to be packaged in a flashable zip.
Or you can install CWM from the ROM Manager app. Or TWRP from GooManager.

quite frankly i wouldnt use CWM. The UI is annoying as hell, and it tends ot be a lot slower, at least from my own experience.
I recommand TWRP, http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 latest version here for maguro.
if you have adb set up, installing twrp is cake, simply open adb and type:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img <-----assuming you are in the directory of that img file you just downloaded, and TWRP is just the name of the img file, its usually attached with version, so i would rename it for easier access.
3) after you flashed it just boot into recovery and start flashing your new rom.
If all else fail.....use the toolkit and flash factory image for a fresh start, i havnt failed with factory image yet

[Q] galaxy nexus 4.2 stock recovery

my bro got a rooted galaxy nexus with CWM recovery !
we want to install the OTA updates (Device status is normal so he can download the update) the problem is he gets Failed message when he tries to install updates because of CWM recovery! anyone knows how to get back to Stock recovery on nexus i'm noob in nexus fastboot stuff (CMD fastboot command)! also the proper stock recovery.img PLZ ... (i've attached a screen shot of the setting -> About device Screen).

he does not get the error message because of CWM.
he gets the error message because something isnt stock.
what is the assert error message when you try and install the update in CWM?

not in CWM the phone downloads the update pakage restarts and tries to install the updates and it fails there is not error message just fails!

If you want to set the phone to stock...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
If you want to just update to a newer/non-stock ROM, pick one and flash it.

either way, his phone isnt stock. thats the problem. he modded some system file or tried a diff radio, etc.
its not failing because of cwm.

looks like i need to backup every thing and flash a stock ROM! where can i find the latest official rom for galaxy nexus ?
or what about CM is it stable enough for Daily use?
