I've researched, maybe not hard enough but I am to a point where I don't know what to do. Call me dumb but this is my extra phone and was testing on it. Here is what happened.
I was attempting to do data2sd and cleared the sd card as asked then in clockwork I don't remember what I cleared but clearly the wrong thing and now I can get into recovery and hit "apply update.zip" and then it says it can't apply update.zip
So basically can't boot my phone up. I can only go into hboot and recovery and that's it. Am I out of luck?
if you cleared the contents of your sdcard, you deleted the update.zip that you had on it.
Put the clockworkmod update.zip back on your sdcard.
Then you can get back in clockwork and flash a new rom or do whatever you want in clockwork
yes put the clockwork recovery update.zip back into your memory card and try again,also try putting a rom you are going to use as well
I will give it a shot and report back. Thanks
This is what I get after I put the update back on my sdcard.
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.
zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
what EXACTLY did you do in clockwork to **** things up in the first place?
That will really help a lot to know. What EXACTLY did you do to try and get data2ext working?
Because it failing sig verification means one of two things, 1: you have the wrong update.zip or 2: you don't have the ENG hboot anymore.
If you lost the ENG hboot you are ****ed.
**** I don't remember what I did, but it was long ago. I got it working, turns out using a blackberry to transfer my files onto my SD card didn't work, that's why it couldn't find update.zip because it wasn't actually there when it said it was. So I went and bought a USB with a SD plugin and it transferred correctly.
Thanks you for the help, glad I didn't completely **** it up for good.
so you got it working?
Yeah it is working now. Good spare phone with my hd7 haha
thanks for the help, i was being dumb and just wasn't thinking.

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.
Hey guys here is what i did step by step. This is my first root and i researched this a good bit but i obviously didnt read enough ; ;
Phone info: droid i, slcd, froyo stock 2.2 with november update. i bought the phone a couple of weeks ago.
I followed rooting instructions found here
(couldnt post the url cause im a new user) its found on jonsuh dot com
1) Already preinstalled clockwork mod app
2) Installed Hboot driver.
3) ran new revoked3
4) root was successful and my phone booted up.
heres where its gets tricky.
5) ran clockwork mod.
6) selected back up (figured this would be a safe idea before i started adding roms)
7) it prompted me to install clockwork mod recovery file. i did so then clicked on backup again. my phone turned off rebooted to the HTC incredible screen then went to this black screen with white bars on each side of the phone.
Ideas on what might be the problem would be greatly appreciated.
So i just a battery pull and started my phone back up and it booted up.... epic fail/win
win: phone phone started
fail: i wrote this whole damn post out.
might be helpful for those who ran into the same problem rooting thier phone though.
i read somewhere i should use an older clockwork recovery file. is that correct? and if so, can some tell me one that will work with an SLCD phone?
You might check this out.
ok so i made another boo-boo. i tried to install the virtuous rom and i clicked on clear data and wipe cache and when the phone restarted it stopped at the htc screen which had a black bar across it.
i tried rebooting it a couple different ways but now bastboot is booting up to the htc incredible screen and just staying there... i hope i didnt brick my phone...
please help!
you have an slcd droid incredible and need the modded clockwork recovery from adreynlyne thats all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788306
thats should take care of the recovery issues
do you know how to move the file to the root of my sd card? i dont have a micro sd card reader...
ok so i went out and bought a micro sd card reader. put the new renamed .zp file onto my sd card. went into hboot and it still says the pb31img.zip file is missing. any ideas?
i extracted the renamed zip file to my sd card. was that the right thing to do? or do i just put the unextracted file in there?
You are thinking too hard!
Plug your phone into your PC. Set it to be a disk drive and copy the file to the SD card. (It will have lots of directories and stuff.)
I am not 100% sure, but I think the file name might need to be in caps. It must be named exactly.
Turn your phone off.
Hold down the down volume button and turn it on.
Magic should happen.
got it working thanks to setexascustoms. had to install it then reinstall virtuous rom. lost all my contacts but im back up and running!
hi guys & girls,
i rooted my phone and installed oxygen-2.0.1 about a month ago but im getting a bit bored of that rom now so decided to change it heres where im getting confused?
i put my phone in recovery, done a data/factory reset
mounted usb so my sd card was synced dragged over the rom i wanted to try which RCMIxHD_v3.5 (as a rar file) then i renamed it to update.zip unmounted sd card then applyed the sdcard:udpate.zip let it do its thing then i rebooted.
all it does is reboot as a freash install of oxygen-2.0.1 what am i doing wrong
help would be great on this
im using a htc desire phone (forgot to add if that helps)
Put your new rom on sd card-make sure it is a .zip file-even though it may be associated with winrar,no need to rename it.
Choose install zip from sd card and then choose zip option to find the new rom ,then install it.(If it fails to install then toggle signature verification off)
Press back button and choose reboot system now.
If it's a rar file you need to extract the .zip file inside of course.
hi m8 thanks for the reply also twogubs,
when i try to install,
it starts to run and then hits me with installation aborted E can 't open/sdcard/blablabla (rom im trying to install)
(Bad)
due think it could be the rom im trying to install if so....
you guys got any pointers on some shizzhot roms,,, would be cool
I am having troble unrooting an evo 4g. I got to the s-on part, but can't get the phone to recognize the PC36IMG.zip file. I've tried a couple of these ruu files, thinking that most of those might not be working properly. The ultimate goal, really, is to get rid of the superuser permissions. I am trying to sent the phone back to Sprint and am afraid that they might see it. I've tried downloading Terminal Emulator. However, everytime i put rm superuser.apk, the response i get is that it can not be done because it's a read-only file. any suggestions?
if the s lock is on you wont be able to get rid of it. How are you trying to get it to read the PC36IMG.zip because if you have it on the root of your sd card and restart into bootloader it will automatically read the zip and ask to flash it if not just do a clear storage and that should solve it

You need to run ruu now that you're S on. As was noted already, the PC36IMG must be on the main directoryof your SD card. Also, make sure the file isn't named PC36IMG.zip.zip. If you're using windows, then the file extension is hidden, and the .zip is already there, just hidden. Therefore, if you add a .zip, then its really there twice. So using windows, it should just look like PC36IMG. Once its named correctly, and on the main directory of your SD card, the bootloader should detect it and ask you to update.

Copy all of the data on your sdcard to your pc desktop and then reformat the card. Now place the RUU file on the root of the sdcard and if the phone doesnt recognize it in the bootloader menu, then it might mean your sdcard isnt "good" enough. I had the same problem with a class 2 card and i had to buy a whole new sdcard for it to work.
I've checked and made sure that the file name is right. When i put the phone in bootloader it doesn't recognize anything. nothing pop up to ask yes/ no.
Like I said, read my previous post. Format the card and try again. If it doesnt work, then try it with another sdcard.
Also, do you think it would be a problem to send in the phone with superuser on it still?
p.s. i tried to get it out after i re-rooted it and the s was off.
Thank you for the helps.
You can't send the phone in rooted period. Flash that unrevoked s-on utility again to get it back to s-on. Borrow somebodies sdcard and put the RUU file on it. Then flash the RUU in bootloader when the phone recognizes it. I STRONGLY believe that its your sdcard acting funny because it happened to me too.

I agree. If the OP is sure the file is on the main directory of his card, and its named properly, yet it wont read it...then formatting the card would also be my recommendation.

I cant flash my DHD with REVOLUTION HD.. it show an error STATUS 1
What does it means?
I think I got that once. It was a bad SD card. Formatting wouldnt fix it. I had to use another.
Could be a bad download as well.
I have the same problem, but with HTC Desire S:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in \sdcard\Endymion_V3.1_base_release.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted.
I found somewhere, that format SD card can help, but I need to try it first before I can say, if it is true.
EDIT: Yes, it really helped. I just format SD card, put there only that ROM zip and that's it.
how do you transfer ROM zip to your sd card after you format your SD?
In my case, i did a FULL-Wipe 1.5 twice then get this error...now i can't install custom rom...any help?
Problem Solved
just unmount system then install full wipe 1.5 then install custom rom...
Below my solution:
1) formatted sd
2) re-copied in rom zip file
3) retried to flash, and still get error status 1
4) disconnected battery, reconnected, entered bootloader (vol down + power)
5) from bootloader re-entered recovery, tried again to flash, worked
bye

This might save somebody some time
Had the same problem, found a simpler solution that doesn't requre formatting your SD card.
1. From recovery, reboot into recovery.
It's one of the options under advanced.
2. Flash your desired .zip from SD card.
3. Then it should work.
This solution is easier to do than the guys above.
This thread is a month old so you're a bit late - and that's what they were doing, but it was giving the status 1 error.
