I have searched on google and through each droid forum site I have been sent to from google trying to fix the problem that i am having. I am currently trying to intall Incredible re imaginedv2.3 on my HTC Incredible. I have tried installing through both ROM manager and through the actual recovery. When I go through ROM manager it fails on the install reboots my phone and freezes at the HTC logo. The same thing happens with the actual recovery. Fails on install asks for the update and it cant find the update.zip file. It then freezes on reboot. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
Sounds like a bad\corrupt download. Check your copy's MD5 with the ROM developers and make sure its not corrupt. Try downloading it again or download another ROM and try that.

its called incredibly reengineered actually lol
If youre trying it through revovery you need to "choose zip from sdcard" then scroll to downloads,using the update.zip is for something else

I have the zip on the root of my SD card. When ever I choose it it asks about the update.zip should I just hit no and ignore that step. I'm using the latest version of the clockworkmod. Version 3.0.5

Reengineered prefers. 92 HBOOT fwiw, but it will boot with an older version. That info is buried in the IncReEngineered thread. Plus, in recovery, you do NOT choose the option that says "apply update.zip", rather, you want the selection that lets you choose the zip file you want to apply.

i tired what you said and it just looped through the same steps. it repeatedly asks for the update.zip. i found something through google that said i should rename the ROM as update.zip and still no luck.
You need to download/flash 2.3.1 with cwm3.

I dont know if this will help at all but i tried to install the ROM again last night and it said at the end of the error (status 7). Im currently looking it up but would you guys know anything about it?
Are you sure your checking apply zip from SD card and not update.zip. if you have a recovery image you should restore it and flash the rom thru rom manager

^ that, and if not, flash back to CWM 2.5.1.2, try installing then. I had to do that when I installed that rom. I know he updated it to work with 3.0, but try anyway. If it works you just just upgrade to 3.0 after flashing the rom.
Ok I will try that and post back with the results

Still no luck I still get the status 7 error, and it aborts the install. I even downgraded to 2.5.1.2 and it still fails. I am starting to think that i should stay with the one that I am running for a while before i try it again.
I did some quick searching for status 7 and found alot of solutions. Not sure which direction to point you but some common themes were hboot, radio, and permission (make sure read write).... with a specific error u should be able to figure this out. Also a major problem lies with all zips in their scripting since CW recovery update(cwr3 uses edify). Incredibly reengineered zip may need to be updated to be compatible but u think it'd be more common problem if this was the case.
Ok. I will look into all of them and see witch one works. Thank you for all the help.

You sure you have s-off? Check this out.....also make sure SD formatted fat32. I've seen it recommended to wipe twice without leaving recovery(worked for some)....if you try all you can and are still stuck pm koush. He'll set you straight
Is the SD card formatted as FAT32?
Does the SD card have ample free space?
Is the radio (baseband) version on your device at least 2.x?

I reformatted my sd card to FAT32 and it fixed the error. the only thing that i ran into this time is that it failed copying over at a certain line is that because i need more space on my sd card?

Okay, so I was trying to upgrade to the latest nightly for my mother, since she loves gingerbread now. So here is my issue, I know that I need clockwork mod 3.0 or higher to get the nightlies to work, I have gotten #14 to install with the old recovery she has on there now. But when I try to update the recovery it will either not upgrade or revert back to 2.5 upon reboot. For example:
If I try using fastboot to install, I get an error. I don't remember exact error, but its a long the lines of it can't install.
If I try using the PB31IMG.zip method, but it just detects the zip and wont install or anything.
If I install the recovery via the recovery, it will work for the one time it loads, then upon reboot it reverts to old one.
I tried installing the newest nightly with the old recovery, but it will just load and then soft boot and repeat forever till I pull battery.
I rooted the phone with the unrevokr root and recovery method, so I don't know if that has anything to do with my problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Before you flash a new recovery with ROM Manager go into ROM manager settings and check the box to erase the old recovery before flashing the new one.
Then scroll to the bottom of the main ROM Manager menu and select all clockworkmod recoveries. Flash 3.0.0.8 since it has fixes for 3.0.0.5 issues.

Still not working, just does checking the zip and then goes back to hboot. I am going to try formating the internal memory, and put a copy on there and see if that does anything. Would having S-ON have anything to do with my problem?
Well I fixed it, was that I had S-On still enabled. I guess I'm so used to my nexus that I forgot that I needed that off to do that.

I can't seem to flash several roms, and I keep getting the same message. Some of them will work, and some won't.. kind of frustrating. Anyways, I have a DInc of course, with CWM 3.0.0.8 and hboot .92. I always perform a full data/dalvik/cache wipe before trying to flash anything, but when I try to flash a certain rom (in this case, the new synergy rom) it keeps saying this:
"E:Can't open /sdcard/Synergy-6-27-11-RC1-Incredible-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted."
Any ideas on what to do or how to fix it?
Thanks
It sounds like you're getting a corrupt download, or maybe the zip is bad?
Make certain there's ample room on the SD card, and +1 on the other guidance on perhaps a bad d/l. Maybe delete the existing one and d/l a fresh copy.
I agree with the above, there probably isn't enough room to extract the zip file,
I had this issue before
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
There is enough room on the the sdcard, at least 2.5 gb. I'll try to re d/l the rom
Try from your computer, just for giggles. Then you'll be able to see if it's your SD card that is the problem. If it is, backup it's contents and format the SD card.

Yes I'm certain of hboot, .92. Radio: 2.15.00.07.28

I tried flashing other roms but any ROM I flash just keeps looping the boot image over n over. Even when I try to restore one of my back ups from recovery it does the same it says error while formating data. Then Wen I reboot it just loops the boot image as well. I've tried everything I can think of. If this has happened to anyone please let me know.

By boot image do you mean "splash screen" and "boot animation?" Can you get back to recovery? If so, which recovery and version? If clockworkmos, make sure it's at least 3.0.0.7 or later if your Inc has an amoled screen, 3.0.0.8 if it's SLCD.
If you can get to recovery, power off the phone. Pull the sd card and check that your computer can read it and it's formatted FAT32.
If so, put a clean copy of a ROM on the root of the SD card. Reinsert it in the phone. Boot to hboot (you are running hboot 0.92 right!?) and then to recovery.
In recovery, factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik, then flash the ROM.
If you're running an older hboot and/or older recovery, see elsewhere on XDA how to update those first.

Have you tried flashing stock froyo and then doing a factory reset from hboot? And by stock froyo i mean the official ruu with stock recovery.
Next time you try to do a wipe, also go into mounts and storage and format boot, data, system, and cache. This happened to me once and this seemed to fix my problem. Now I do it every time.

My evo cannot install apk's and whenever i boot up a rom i downloaded from my computer it randomly reboots. The rom's I tried were Alter rom and elite series resurected. The only roms i got to work were evo classic and dark light. Please help me.
Some backstory. It all started when i flashed Evo classic last night and I did not have the Google Play Store. I decided to get an APK. What I did was got an APK from a thread on XDA I tried to install it through the Downloads app but it froze up my phone and just rebooted. I tried this several other times with no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Some roms you have to flash google proprietary files.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
You did not say that you made a nandroid back up of your phone, have you? If not, you just experienced why you should start.
What recovery are you using? Have you tried wiping dalvik and cache to see if that helps?
More details on what you did to get yourself in this situation would be helpful.

I did that. For dark light i used ICS Gapps. And when I rebooted there was no play store. Also for Classic sense I went through setup, and there was no playstore.
I am thinking this could be a Sd card issue.
You can't flash ICS on anything below 4.0. It won't work
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I tried sense 1.0 and I had a Android backup of dark light I tried to go back to that but no market so I used am on ra to fix permissions then I installed gaaps and there was a market. But when I install an app or apk my phone reboots.
If it were me, I'd:
1) Backup the files on SD
2) In Recovery: Reformat/re-partition SD
3) Copy a ROM .zip to SD
4) In Recovery: Flash ROM
5) In Recovery: Save recovery.log to SD
6) Post recovery.log here
If you do this with AlterROM, you'll need to use the Save Log option at the end of the installer.

Thanks but I think I found out the problem what I did was install a rom ran gaaps went into recovery fixed permissions took out my SD card booted up the phone downloaded something from the market put my SD back in and everything worked. Also I tried AlterRom but when I got done with aroma and booted it up there was no launcher. So what I am thinking is that its an SD card issue. And other help would be appreciated.

I downloaded it from 3 different of his mirrors none of which worked. Im of the latest version of Clockwork mod. could it be the new update from 6.0.3 to 6.0.3.1 on clockwork? or should i use something other than clockwork
you should use twrp.. check the md5 of your download after you download it for accuracy. try that.. if it doesnt work u can always flash cwm again
Flash in twrp. Get twrp by downloading goo manager app and selecting install open recovery
Also are you grtiing a status 7 error?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
For whatever reasons, sometimes when flashing in cwm or twrp, you will have issues and installing the other custom recovery will allow you to flash the desired ROM. you obviously then have the option to return to the custom recovery you were previously running either because you prefer it or all your backups were made in it.

Similar problem
Hey guys
I've gone through all the steps as instructed, but can't install HD RSL15 successfully. I downloaded the installation file from a mac which then automatically unzips the folder. Zipped it back up with 7zip and threw it on the phone. I went through all the prescribed steps using TWRP 2.6 and AndroidUnite's video on youtube (How To Install TWRP Recovery And Flash Custom ROM) as example . This is the 2nd time Ive downloaded the file and I switched over from CWM based on this thread's recommendations.
When it comes to installing the ROM the window ends up looking like this:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Error flashing zip...
Updating partition files...
FAILED
Have I done something wrong during the previous steps (flashing, installing recovery) or does it have something to do with the method of zipping the files (tried fastest and store as compression options, doing store makes the file unreadable by the phone during recovery mode)? Please help
