[Q] rooting/updating help needed asap!!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay, i've rooted my evo with success using unrevoked forever. it isnt the latest version, not sure if it matters but the prob comes in when trying to install any of the latest ota updates or any custom roms. i've tried every which way. ie through rom manager, through power down recovery method and i constantly get the same error message. "can't install. aborted" nothing works..i've wiped my phone multiple times and its beginning to get annoying. does anyone, anyone at all have a solution for this prob.
error message " e: can't open/sdcard/update/zip installation aborted"

You need to reinstall any and all system apps that you have removed (the OTAs check to make sure that certain apps are installed and will not install if they are not there). Also, you need to remove any custom recovery (i.e. Clockwork) and reinstall the original one.

no system apps are missing to my knowledge as i factory reset trying to fig out this error. as far as how do i remove clockwork?

Application not installed error

Hi,
I keep bumping in to a problem since i've been flashing custom roms.
To be specific, after a rom flash i can't install the full version of SlideIT 1.5 anymore. I keeps giving me the error "Application not installed".
I've tried several options to fix this problem like fully wiping the phone through the recovery screen, factory reset and resigning the package. I'm able to install SlideIT lite 1.5 and the 1.2 full version but no succes with 1.5.
I'm quite sure this has something to do with the signature but i can't find the solution. Is there someone here that possibly knows what to do about this?

[Q] Deleted googleapps by accident, can't fix phone.

www <DOT> brighthub.com/mobile/motorola/articles/102410 <DOT> aspx
Issue is this:
To install the ROM, you will need the ClockWorkmod ROM Manager.
Start Android Market on your phone and search for ROM Manager. Install the Clockwork Mod ROM Manager. Note that your Defy must be rooted before you can install ROMs on it.

Being as I deleted google apps I can't use the market. So I managed to find a googleapps1.3 apk file on the net, reinstalled it but it just crashes and requires force close whenever it starts, have been told it is a permissions issue so I tried fixing permissions via ROM manager but I get this error:
"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
Now ultimately I want 2.2 froyo anyway, but what is the best way to get the correct Clockwork Mod ROM Manager APK for a motorola defy? I've looked everywhere but cannot find it.
ROM manager has an option to download it, but it only gives options for Droid x, droid 2 and some other non defy phone.
So how do I get myself out of this pickle and install froyo 2.2 or at least get google apps 1.3 working again?
Really appreciate any help, thanks guys
had to make a new account as my password wont work and neither will password recovery
anyway I tried using the defy recovery but it says the update.zip file is invalid and doesn't pass the certificate test or some random thing
how am to get google apps working again? all I want is my stock rom working, or if I can get a 2.2 version that is exactly the same that'd be great.
Can anyone help me? I have the googleapps.apk file but it just crashes if I reinstall it.
If you just want to get back to stock...
1. Send it in for repair.
2. Find a relevant SBF file and flash via RSD Lite. What does Settings -> About phone tells you?
system version blur_version.2.51.1.mb25.retail.en.GB
JRDNEM_U3_2.5.1.1
where would I look to find the SBF file?
managed to find a stock rom and reflash it, all is good now
thanks guys

The application ROM Manager (process com.koushikdutta.rommanager) has stopped unexpec

Hi,
I'd like to start off by saying that I've flashed my Desire numerous times and it works fine, but I recently flashed my brother in law's and it's been acting up.
I followed one of the noob guides (root, s-off with alpharev) and put bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img on the phone.
I then flashed CM 7.1 (and also a bunch of other version). The flashing works fine. I reboot and when I go to rom manager and click on download roms it gives me the error message: The application ROM Manager (process com.koushikdutta.rommanager) has stopped unexpectedly.
Also if I flash google apps from recovery it flashes fine, but it crashes in CM.
What's I've tried:
-reflashing
-davlik
-fixing permissions
-redownloading all the files and reflashing (including md5 check)
I can't remove rom manager and reinstall it since it won't let me remove it.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this? I searched online and there is no concrete answer. Everybody seems to be guessing a solution, but so far no success for me.
Yes this is also the issue with my Desire and the solution is to reinstal Rom manager.
This worked for me.
Cheers
Nobody needs Rom Manager. All operations can be done with other and better software (recovery, GParted). Furthermore, it causes more problems than it solves.
So just uninstall it and never use it again.
but how do you uninstall it? there is no way to remove it from applications.
also google apps crashes when installed.
nevermind...now no error message anymore. No clue why.

[Q] Xposed won't install

I have tried installing it and to no avail. I have root and am S-OFF. This is the error message I get in red at the top of Framework page. "app_process version "58" has been installed previously but version "--" was found now. If you didn't expect an old file to be restored, you might want to try installing via recovery (auto or manual)
How can I fix this?
What version 4.4.*** are you running and did you try what was suggested via the messages

Update Error

Hi guys, I really hope you can give me a hand here. I was rooted using method 3. Yesterday I unrooted the device. Today there were some OTA updates, so I downloaded them and wanted to install them. It was 58 if I'm not mistaken. The phone rebooted and started installing the updates and after few seconds a symbol of android popped up with an error message. After that the phone started and said that update wasn't installed and the origanal settings were returned. After that it said that there wen't new updates available. Factory reset didn't help either. Later a new update was available 59 I think, but the same thing happened... I really don't know what to do now.
I have ZF2 64Gb, WW version installed on it.
right now running 2.19.40.22
I'm really hoping for your help
Update: I've don't system wipe and cache wipe from the recovery menu
Update N2: I've managed to install V2.19.40.22 image from official website. But my phone doesn't show me an option to do an OTA update, it says that there aren't any update available. Is there a way to make him check again properly?

That's why you have to flash the pre root firmware first. It restores all the system files so they can pass the check while the OTA runs.
