[Q] Problem with flashing a ROM.. "(bad)" error - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

Yeah... Still not working. I tried re downloading it and that didn't help. Like, I can flash some roms but not all of them, and the new synergy one I can't flash. Any other theories?

Certain of hboot version? What radio?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

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

also check that the name on the rom has no spaces I had issues with roms before for that reason...

Indeed, there are no spaces.

Just updated my radio to 2.15.00.11.19 and still can't flash the synergy rom. Someone has to know what's going on here... any ideas??

Its an update script error... had it multiple times download a new copy that should fix it.. or contact the Dec

Probably bad download. Try downloading file again. Did you download directly from phone?

The first time yes from the phone over wifi, then I deleted it from my SD card and re-downloaded from a laptop, moved it to the root of SD and flashed again with a full wipe and davlik wipe and I got the same thing.

I think the one on bakedsnackshack is a bad zip, it doesn't open properly on my computer either.
Anyone have the 1.9 release notes by any chance?

If anyone finds out any details, let us know!
The rom works for me. I am currently running baked snack 1.9 right now, and I downloaded it from bakedsnackshack.com. The file should be 173.7MB.
Any solution to this issue yet? It's been 3 weeks since the first post here and I'm having the exact same problem - the download from Bakedsnackshack.com is no good.
Not to mention the site makes reference to outdated versions like the newest radio being 2.15.00.07.28.
Anyone else having similar issues? Can't seem to find much support online.
I must have tried 11 times with different browsers, using my EVO, etc. Only once did it download a correct zip. Test the zip before trying to flash by simply unzipping it on your hard drive.

[Q] Droid Incredible ROM fail install freeze on reboot

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.

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 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?

[Q] Downgrading Clockwork Mod, HBOOT not having it

Hey guys,
Okay so here's the schtick:
I've got Incredibly Re-Engineered Z 1.01 installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983182, "The Blue One"). I like it about 80% of the way, but it's giving me issues, so I planned on going back to either regular -Re-Engineered 2.3.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893233, "The Green One")or SkyRaider 3.5. The issue is that neither of them will install with Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.8. Perusing the forums told me to downgrade to 2.5.1.2. Fine. Looked around, downloaded the zip file, and tried to install it via HBOOT 0.92. I downloaded it three times and made sure the SD card was formatted as FAT32, just as the instructions said. I renamed it per the instructions as well, and each time, HBOOT tells me "no image or wrong image". I'm making the assumption that attempting to clockwork mod from within clockwork mod would be a generally bad idea.
I've got everything backed up on my MicroSD card, so while I have no problem blowing away my internal storage to all hell and doom, I'd rather not do the same to my SD card (although I do have it backed up as well, so if shove comes to thrust I CAN do that). In fact, I am having the perpetual "preparing phone storage" issue as well, so blowing everything to all hell and doom is probably a good idea for me anyway.
Regardless, I need to downgrade clockwork mod until the next release of re-engineered. I already did a search for the procedures, but right now the score is HBOOT: 1, Voyager529: 0.

Do you have the zip on the root of your SD card? It can't be in any folders or hboot won't see it.

Question re: updating Radio, Wimax, PRI, NV, and hboot.

I was hoping someone could explain to me how to update the Radio, Wimax, pri, nv, and hboot and exactly what doing this does. I have been reading all over but can't seem to find any info on this or the steps to take to do this. I have cm recovery if it matters. Thanks in advance for the help. Much appreciated.
Put the radio zip. File on root of your sd card, then rename it PCIMG36zip. Then go into hboot recovery, it should pick the file up and ask if you want to flash, clik yes and then yes then when comolete reboot. As far as a kernal put on your sd root and then flash it in normal ra or cwm recovery dont update your hboot theres no reason to.

I provided a link below that are flashable in recovery and recommend using Amon instead of CW, but PCIMG36.zip and yes it is. All of these flashes are not required, but often do aid in performance when done correctly. In correctly, I mean both knowing what versions you have and selecting a custom ROM. Some require certain versions of items to avoid issues (wake lock, etc).
More importantly.....knowing that you are flashing a RADIO or complete package that can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
and that doing anything with your phone (battery pull, stopping the process in any way) can and will probably lead to a useless paper weight. Flashing ROMS and MODS do not usually have such a great risk.

No worries, enjoy the tension of updating a radio....slow and steady.
I think this is the 1st phone I have owned that was so fickle about updates to radios and such. Theoretically these are called updates because they improve overall performance across the board. The Evo depends on location, Rom, mothers maiden name, high school gym teachers toupee color ect...

[Q] Fast Sense rom for Desire...

Hi XDA
Could any of you guys provide me with some advice on which rom to chose if I am looking for a fast sense rom. I have tried acesmod and found it to be rather slow on my Desire (maybe I am doing something wrong, but all in all the rom works just very slow).
I have heard great things about insert coin but I can’t figure out which one to install. So if you could throw in a link to the zip it would be great.
Thanks guys!
The links are in each ROM's thread.
And always it is easier to ask other than read which one is for you - but everything is there in each ROM's thread.
I am asking due to the fact that there are several Inser Coin roms and I just wanted to know which one was the fastest. If you don’t like to help me with this than its ok, I am not forcing you to reply.
Besides I am have only tried 2 roms until now and is therefore rather new to this. So any help choosing a fast sense rom and providing a link for this is welcome.
I actually tried the [ROM][28/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.1.2 but couldn’t get it to work. When I tried to install (using alpharev) from sd after full wipe factory reste, cache wipe and dalvik it told me it was unable to install. I am S-Off and on CM7 HBOOT.

I just spend the night downloading the instert coin again, and now it worked!!! And to top this I must say it is a very fast and nice piece of rom!
Don't know what happend with the broken files or anything, but now it seems to work... The only thing i find odd is that the rom is really fast, but I still only have something like 20 mb free on the internal storrage after installing a few apps? On acesmod 007 I had a lot more? Is this something to do with Data++ (what is this)?
data++ is an alternative hboot from alpharev that if you fastoot flash the data++ table, it changes your internal partition layout to be heavily in favour of the /data partition.
