How do I fix this? I toggled off signature verification thinking that would fix it.

Are you using cloackwork? If yes switch to Amon_RA

Wonderfull!! Thank you

The message was because that animation had the Amend scripting [old] and you were running clockwork 3.0+ which uses Edify scripting [new], so the files aren't compatible. Your options are to as the other user suggested, use amon_ra 2.3 or use and older version of clockworkmod.

[Q] E:Syntax error in update script

I've googled it and searched both here and android central but can't find the answer to my problem. I have a rooted Ego 4g running AHA-froyo 2.3. I am trying to update it to Ava-froyoZ3. Whener I run recovery then nandroid of course then install zip from sd card (I previously downloaded Ava-froyo and put it in the root of the sd card) I get,
-- Installing: SDCARD:AHA-FroyoZ3.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

E:Syntax error in update script
Installation aborted.
I have rom manager and can never get it to work so I just do it through recovery.
Any clues as to what the problem is? I have down loaded the file from several different locations to see if maybe I had a bad copy but it always does the same thing.
Additional info. I have the latest radio and pri and a stock kernel.

happen's did you get the rom flashed
Trying again as I type.
It worked. Thanks for the heads up on the other recovery. Used AmonRa v2.2.2
Any thoughts as to why Rom Manager doesn't work for me? It won't boot me into recovery and doesn't seem to do anything when I tell it to back up my rom.
I also get an error when I try to Fix Permissions. "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

From my experience, ROM manager will not back up a ROM unless I have already booted into recovery at least once before. Is this what you are experiencing?
Also, I have had some funky issues with RM lately where it says its flashed a recovery but it actually didn't.
Not sure about the Fix permissions issue, but you can do that from recovery if RM wont work.

Defy 2ndlit doesn't allow me to install "Pays Rom"

Sorry for posting this here but I have not permission to post in the developers forum yet.
My problem is that after install Defy 2ndlit I try to install Pays Rom.zip by using recovery system but Defy 2ndlit says "Amend scriptin is no longer suported. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting... bla bla bla" Installation Aborted
what happened?
thanks in advance!
You should use 2nd Init version 1.4.2 or 1.3 to install zip which are using amend scripting. The latest 2nd Init version installs CWM 3.x which will install only with Edify scripting.

I had the same issue, see this thread!

Go to Rom Manager and select flash experimental or older version... once you have downloaded the zip (any version will do older than 3.0.0.6, so all the 2.x.x.x), reboot in recovery, flash the recovery zip (this will temporarily flash the recovery you have just downloaded) and now you can flash the radio, just like you would flash any other zip and reboot!

Desire stable rom question.

I have the desire from when the phone came out. After 3 months i already had a custom rom running on the device, but now comes the problem.
Not one off the rom's i used made it to the end. Always mem leaks, error messages, battery problemsw or/and slowness after a while.
Now i want to know a ROM suggestion from you guys that i never need to update or reinstall because of one of this problems. I don't need to have a nice theme installed and i don't need the newest version of Android.
Just a rom that works for 1, 2 or even 3 years.
Thanks a lot for answering.
I have following specs from my device:
Device: HTC Desire PVT4 Ship S-Off
Hboot: i can use anything you advice (currently stock)
Recovery: 4EXT Recovery Touch (v1.0.0.5 RC7)
Radio: 5.14.05.17
Rom: thats my question.
Kernel: Anything you advice.
SD: 16GB (Class 10)
http://get.cm/?device=bravo
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=1476
Oxygen r2 hboot for Oxygen, Cm7r2 hboot for CM7, if you need more space use S2E. (you need 512Mb-1GB ext partition for it)
Also update your radio to latest one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464&highlight=radio
Basically you can use anything CM7/Oxygen based if you want stable ROM. (you can try MildWild if you want something themed)

U can flash it using fastboot (fastboot flash radio image_name.img)
Unpack radio.zip for img
Also you can flash ROM without upgrading radio, but you will have to flash it if you will have some problems with wifi signal or reception.
Fastboot? First time i would use that.
Are there easy tools for witout using a command in windows that i don't get working after running.
Found it: Universal Android AIO Flasher Tools

I dont recommend rom manager but a simple way to flash radio is to install Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 using rom manager. Fastboot is the best way but u can do it this way too. Download rom manager, install it then in the app go to the bottom and choose flash older recovery, 2.5.0.7 then u can flash radio in recovery as zip file. U can always flash 4ext recovery using the 4ext recovery updater app straight after u update radio. Look here for a guide.

Issue installing new ROMS in SGH-M919

Just to provide all the information I have on hand, I have the
T-Mobile SGH-M919
android version 4.3
baseband version M919UVUEMK2
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7
My issue is that regardless of what rom I attempt to download i get the error below. Specifically, I've tried to download virginROM 2.3, which seems to be compatible with my device. From what I understand status 7 is in place to keep you from flashing an incompatible rom and so I'm not too sure how to proceed from here. Any and all help would be appreciated.
flash flash flashin things
format() expects 5 args, got 4
E: Error in /data/media/0/virginROM_v2.4.1.zip

Please open ROM manager to report the issue.

I just ran into this a few minutes ago using Philz Touch. The solution I found was under the install zip menu, you should see "Don't Allow Old update-binary. It should have a check-mark; simply untick that option and try again.

I'm using CWM and I don't see the option to check "donm't allow old update-binary." When I turn toggle signature verification off I get
E:footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
and then get prompted to ask if i want to install an untrusted package. I attempted to download and apply the new 4.4.2 Google Edition by Davnh, haven't tried TWCP yet but i feel like it should still be doable via CWM.
