just realised that above message comes up when try to boot via ROM Manager. If i try to boot into recovery manually , no messages comes but it freezes and only option that works in 1st one - Reboot... Please advise , I just used Andriod Flasher reflashed the recovery image but still same issue...

Have you tried to redownload the zip? Maybe it's just corrupted.

2 questions - which zip and from where ??

The zip that you are trying to flash, also I think that this error comes up if you don't have enough space on "cache" partition in order to extract it.

Yeah I have tried more 1 zip files, also removed ROM manager but still freezing in recovery menu., can not choose any option other then reboot?

Have you tried going back to RA 1.7.5 or ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7, read something in the Leedroid thread about issues with the newer versions.

So if I need to try old version how do I do it, I mean do I need to remove v 2.0 someway or just flash over 2.0 straight away

Alright ive been trying now for a few days to flash a new cm7 nightly. Ive tried a few things, diffrent versions of cwm an tried via rom manager (install rom from sd card), tried fake flash a recovery and flashing .img recovery but i always get the same error.
Something like "finding package, opening package, cant open /sdcard/"romname", installation aborted"
Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?
I want a new rom or atleast a newer nightly

In CWM it'll be "toggle signature verification" I had this problem once and that was the solution!

I had the same issue a while ago, re-downloading the ROM zip worked for me
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

Yeah re-downloading the ROM was best fix for me, I remember it did it twice or three times before one actually worked.. alternatively you could always flash a different recovery (properly not fake flash) and see how that goes.

To make sure the download is complete, check the md5sum of the downloaded file in case you have one to compare. Otherwise, you could ask in the corresponding thread for it.

i flashed the newest cwm i found and still got the same problem, i've downloaded about 10 times but i always get the same error.
But i how do i find out the md5sum?

hmm.. try the recovery from my signature, flash it via fastboot.

Nothing worked so far.
Will try RA-Desire CM recovery when i get home ...

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Root Issues

Hey guys need some help...
I downloaded the e4gauto root from the sticky. I followed the instructions, selected option a, the program did its thing and said its complete. I downloaded the rom manager from the market and downloaded Calkulins E4GT ROM v 2.8.1. I tried to install it through rom manager / sd card but I get an error message. I also tried to back up my current rom and got the same error.

Then use the auto root and install the el29+cwm.
After that wipe wipe wipe install calks rom.
Edit: make sure to have ure phone in usb debbuging when using the auto root program.

lol. why is everyone doing auto root and all that. I would just odin a kernel with cwm infused. then go into recovery and flash your modems roms and kernels.

Make sure you are rooted. The "complete" message doesn't mean it gave you root access. You can look for super user in you apps . If you have it then download a program that requires root from the market to test and see if the root access is functioning properly. then download the ROM again. sometimes roms will have corrupt files when you download them. And to be safe and sure boot in to recovery and install from there instead of using ROM manager. Follow the standard procedure of flashing (wipping and etc...). Good luck.

You need to flash stock recovery and make sure you haven't deleted any system apps or flashed any system mods for the ota to work.
Or you could update using a ruu, it wipes your phone data but you get a fresh install

Flash stock recovery? can u give instruction, please?
I don't wanna ruu in this case.

Have a look at this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25656320
Put your phone in fastboot usb, run the program and pick the option for flash stock recovery. Then pick the recovery of the version your on, hit enter and jobs done

can someone give step-by-step instruction? I can't get it ><

Download the program in my last post to your pc
Put your phone into fastboot then connect to pc
Double click the run me file on your pc and wait for the program to pop up
Pick the option that says flash stock recovery
Then pick the option to flash 1.29 recovery.
Reboot your phone then try the ota

If you do not know even the basic steps to unlocking, flashing etc... then I suggest you stop right now before you end up with a $800 paperweight on your desk.
There are a number of threads in the Dev section that give you step by step instructions on what to do, just search. If you still don't understand then read again. If you still don't understand after reading again then stay clear of rooting, it's not for you.

I unlock it and it's working good. I flashed some programms, but i just don't know how to update, cuz in ClockworkMod there is nothing about firmware update.
I tried to search, but didn't find exactly what i need.

I guess you did not relock your bootloader.
You should follow this tutorial.

Hi Guys,
I ahve the same problem. I unrooted my phone, flashed stock recovery, locked my bootloader and resetted to factory default. It still won't update and gives a "warning" logo and then resets as if nothing happened.

I had the same errors.
I could't recovery - it just keept rebooting to fastloader.
I send it to be repaid but was told that the phone was parallel import and it would cost me the same as a new phone to fix it bcos of new "motherbord"...
It seems reasonably. The box did't have any danish manuals and the firm closed down few weeks after I bought it (danlet.dk). The repair guy said it was ment for Germany...

You could try one the custom roms based on 1.29.401.11 which is flashable in clockwork recovery along with the kernel via fastboot.

If you have Clockwork Recovery installed you cannot update over the air. You have two options:
1) Flash back to Stock recovery, update OTA and then flash Clockwork again
2) Flash a custom ROM that is already based on .11

[Q] Rooted Note2/CWM. Error on OTA AT&T update

Phone: Samsung SGH-I317
Android Version: 4.1.2
I got my new note 2 last week and made it about 2 days before i had to root it and install CWM as i had on my Galaxy SII (which was on US Cellular). I rooted it without difficulty, installed rom manager and installed the newest version of CWM for the Note 2 v6.0.2.5. Here is where my first and only problem has come up.
I tried doing a small 8.45mb OTA AT&T update on the phone ( i did the 4.1.2 OTA update before i rooted it). It downloaded no problem then brought the prompt up that the phone must restart to install. It goes to CWM recovery no problem to install then i get this.

I have searched XDA, google, ect trying to find an answer but am at a loss to why i cant install the OTA updates. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks XDA for the help.

Generally if you have a custom recovery installed you can not install OTA`s

Same happened to with the S3. Any fix?

No fix...
Unless the device uses the stock 3e recovery. ..
The device can be returned to stock...then the OTA taken. ..then root and flash the custom recovery again. ..
Then back up the newer build for later use. ..g
