Hello, i have a flashed to boost mobile htc incredible, i recently put in a formatted 32gb sdcard, i have the original 8gb sdcard that the flashed phone came with somewhere(cant find it), but im not sure if that is what the cause of the error i keep getting is. i try to backup my rom in cwm recovery but when i try to restore the error md5 mismatch comes up, when its backing up the last process shows no sd-ext partition, skipping backup of sd-ext, so im not sure if i deleled something while formatting the sd card or if that is something that is common not having sd-ext partition. what is a solution to this problem?
I am having several problems with my phone actually, if you can help that would be great, whenever i download a rom file zip and try to flash manually via cwm recovery the error bad zip comes up, i figure it must be a bad download so i redownload and try again, ive tried more than 20 times and still get bad zip if trying to download from phone browser, same problem while trying to load files from my computer, i got lucky only once it seems trying from computer and ever since i havn't been able to switch my rom. i really need help on this one, please.
even if i try with rom manager i get an error in cwm recovery saying error processing rom manager script check if you have rom manager v4.4+ ive tried several versions that are higher than that version even the latest and still have not been able to flash a new rom.

It sounds like something is wrong with the sdcard. Try reformating it fat32 with a pc. If it still dosent work the card may be bad, or have some sort of incompatability issue with the phone.

HI, I have rooted my Desire running stock official Froyo 2.2 and have backed up using nandroid in recovery.
I was trying to install Wake from trackpad/menu zips but clockworkmod does not allow me to flash it. I get the following message
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/menu-to-wake.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
the sdcard is fine.. Able to create/restore nandroid backups
the files are named xyz.zip and not xyz.zip.zip
I have the signature verification and script errors turned off
The zip file themselves are fine. I can open them from windows and can also extract in windows without any errors
Still i cannot flash the zip while no one else in the thread has reproted any issue in flashing it on their desire. Can someone please help on how to make the clockwork install the zip files??

Hi vpraveenis, I am just curious if you found a resolution for this? I have the same problem, admittedly for a different .zip but the same symptoms. I can flash other zips fine, the zip itself is fine as I can unzip on windows and md5's match, i have toggled the signature verifcation off and run file system checks to make sure my sdcard is ok. Still clockwork can not flash this 1 zip (leedroid) which hundreds of others have flashed fine. I am at my wits end, so if you found a solution to yours, I would be happy to hear it
Did you try to re-download that file again, it may be corrupted.

Yes, apologies I should have mentioned that. I downloaded it 4 different times, and all times the md5 checksums were fine. I even tried different methods of getting the file onto the card, incase there was a level of corruption there. I have used adb push, standard usb mount in windows, taking the card out and using the card reader in my PC, and using andFTP to download it from my ftp server directly to the phone.
I can only think it's a problem with my sd card, so i'm trying a new one now, taking a while to make it a gold card though.

Ok, I went and bought a brand new class 6 16gb lexmark sd card (my unknown class / unknown brand 32gb off ebay was causing me too many hassles anyway). I immediately partitioned it with gparted, then went through the goldcard process. Then dumped clockwork including my nandroid backups and leedroid rom onto there. Reboot into recovery and bam, still get the exact same error, bad zip.
I've also tried full factory wipe before hand. I also get the same error on the latest radio ROM from the leedroid guy's drop box. Not having much luck.
That's weird, Can you flash other zip file? :\
Maybe change to Amora Recovery will help?
Try Amon Ra or check if the ClockWork has "File Integration Verify" option and disable it. It should help. Some custom modifications do not pass through integrity verification at recovery state.
Regards
need some help- while trying to flash new leedroid rom get this message:

I couldn't get AmonRa up and running, tried using unrevoked or whatever to flash it on there, but just wouldn't complete. Clockwork is a fair bit easier since you can just copy on a file and name it update.zip and you are done.
In regards to other zips, it seems I can flash any "theme" based zip, just not any RUU zip such as new ROMs or radios. This probably implies my card is not a gold card, but I have been through the gold card process 3 times, all without fail, so I dunno why it wouldn't be one.
I've confirmed that I can flash these files from my 2gb gold card that I originally made. So there is definitely no zip corruption.
Edit: In case others stumble upon this, the solution for me was to scrap the partitions on my SD card and start over. I used the proper sdformatter from the official sdcard site to create a FAT partition using up the entire disk, then used gparted to resize that partition leaving 512mb at the end to fit my ext3 in there. The official sdcard formatter leaves 4mb of unallocated space at the start of the disk, I left this there as I didn't want to mess with it. Once my new partitions were setup, I can again flash ROMS from the sdcard. So although there was a proper FAT32 partition on there previously that seemed to be working fine, for some reason it wasn't.
Hi there i was just bobbing my self lmao because i had the same problem and dint backup or anything and i dint no wat to do, Buy... i found a solution.. I just put a different sdcard in my computer and put the rom on there whih i was trying to install then i placed that in my phone and then tryed and it worked..
Did everything the way I normally do when flashing a new rom.
Now when I attempt to load any ROM from my sd card, I get this message:
Installing system files ...
E:Error in /sdcard/Incredible Files/SkyRaider_33_Sense_Final.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I also try to do a restore from my nandroid backups and it ALWAYS "freezes". Now the only thing I can do is boot into recovery but nothing after that. I've read through a lot of material and know how to do most things, however I'm by no means an expert and now I feel like I've caused irreversible damage.
HELP?
sounds to me like your rom got corrupt during the download, i would try to download it again after deleting the file off your SD card.
did you download it from a PC or from your inc? i have seen people get corrupt files when downloading straight from the inc, its best to use a PC to download the roms
you can use the mount menu in recovery to mount your usb storage if you dont have an adapter to read the microsd, this will let you replace the possibly corrupt rom with a fresh zip
My original sd card has become unreadable by both my incredible and by my sd card reader. I have another one and loaded all of the backed up files I had on the old one. I've tried downloading the ROM through ROM Manager as well as placing the file on the new sd card and both do the same thing.
I honestly have no idea what to do now and am worried that not everything I need was transferred to the new sd card.
I just want to be able to load ANY ROM and I'm willing to reset/wipe anything and everything but I don't think there's anything I can do at this point....
well there is nothing that needs to be on the SD card at all aside from the backup or [rom].zip file you are trying to flash
have you tried installing a different rom with recovery? maybe virtous rom?
also what version of clockwork recovery are you running?

And you're sure it's FAT32?

Positive it's FAT32 and I just flashed the most current Clockwork Recovery from ROM Manager.

Try to format/partition the sd via recovery. The new clockwork has this method (haven't tried it and don't know if it works) and the alternate RA does, too. I've used that one and know it works. Try that (leave the defaults, which is 512mb sd-ext, 32mb or similiar swap, I think, and the rest as FAT32).
boot into hboot (vol down and power when device is off)
what hboot version and baseband are you running?
I dont think the sd card is the problem
I wiped the dalvik and batt stats and for whatever reason tried again to reinstall the ROM and it went through this time.
Everything seems to be working as normal. Man was that one weird ass experience.
Hello. My HTC Desire, that was rooted and flashed to a LeeDroid ROM back in July, just stopped working today. I was listening to music earlier today when all of a sudden it stopped. I took a look at my phone and it says "Unable to play file" or "File not supported"
My phone restarted and it was just stuck in a boot loop. I tried going into recovery but everytime I got there, it restarts again. I was out of options so I went to recovery and erased data and then went and tried to flash a new ROM (CM7). It installs but again it gets stuck in a bootloop.
Any ideas what's wrong?
How is your sd card partitioned? I had the same problem when my 8gb sandisk was damaged. It would still work as an external fat partiton, but forget about using it as an extention to the internal storage.
It has happened to me too, just as you described.
I was able to revert to some old nandroid backup of leedroid 3.0.8.2
Any new rom results in reboots, or something doesnt load completely and im stuck on the unlock screen.
I suspected the SD card but it wasnt it... Replaced and same result
I now suspect the internal nand mem (flash) but couldnt find a way to test it...
If anyone knows the source or solution to this problem please post it
Thanka
Hey, I think I fixed it.
I took out my SD Card, and in my computer, I formatted it (quick format). I put in another rom's zip file in there (I used Cyanogen Mod).
I booted into recovery, went to install zip from SD Card, chose the CM zip, installed it. After installing, while in recovery, I went back and selected clear data and memory (something along those lines). That will remove everything currently on your phone.
From there, I rebooted and everything seems to be working okay.
What if you try some other mod?
Something with sense 3.5 for example ?

go for it. But I think the key here is that in recovery, after installing your rom, you need to clear the memory.
Or try doing that first before installing a new rom
Yes, after flashing a ROM do a FULL wipe.. and everything will be okay.... you can trust me! after all you're taking advice from a drunk man!
My phone got stuck and I did a factory reset. When I try to reroot the phone I can't find apply file from sd card on recovery. It only says apply update from /cache
It seems my phone is not seeing my sd card. I installed Rom Manager clockwork. I tried doing a Flash as someone suggested I got an error message, It runs to the end then is gets stuck and the error message I get is an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands.
So that did not work. Then he said do Flash Mod Touch that did not work either.
When I select I get an error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space. I have a solid internet connection. It just can't find the sd card.
Please help.

Wrong forum bro.
Anyway, use the Nexus tool to recover back to stock and reinstall CWM, start all over.

Just because you did a factory reset, doesn't mean it's not rooted. Flash a ROM and see what happens.

I own a Galaxy Tab PRO 10.1" Wifi (SM-T520).
I have the stock ROM, rooted and with TWRP. And SDfix...
I have tried fat32 and ext4 on MicroSD, and without MicroSD. No difference.
I cannot boot any custom rom (Stuck at Samsung logo). Sometimes when I try to install a rom, it fails, or reboots TWRP.
I also encountered problem when trying to restore a nandroid. No DATA partition can be written to, restore fails. (after reboot recovery, its no problem to restore)
Angry Birds Epic does not work. It stops at "Loading Levels", and sometimes it fails to start, and says its not installed.
Spotify says that that it cannot be used because it has no storage.
I can access the partitions, but they are not writable. A reboot is getting the internal/external SD to be writabe again.
So, what is the problem with the partitions on TabPRO? or is it the Samsung android rom thats the problem?
Can it be fixed?
Regards,
-Exlo
Try installing FolderMount from the PlayStore. It can detect and fix issues with your partitions. You just need to run it, then reboot. I seem to get issues writing to my data partition after I install TWRP, on my SM-P900. FolderMount fixed it quickly and easily.

Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
FolderMount did find an error, and fixed it, but same result
And it "fixed" the same problem as the SDfix app did.
But, I still made some progress. I managed to install a custom rom without error, and fully booted.
Team Freeze Rom installed fine. The rom is just under 800Mb. So i thought maybe it was some faulty memory sector on my tab.
Then I tried to flash GigaWatts ROM, and it failed. Same with ProPlus Rom.
When restoring my last nandroid, it fails when writing DATA partition.
Then I tried to restore my first nandroid, from "stock" rom, and it restored just fine.
First nandroid was from internal SD, and latest was from external SD. Made me wondering, so switched yet again another MicroSD, took a nandroid to it, and tried to restore. It fails again at DATA.
Then I tried t install GigaWatts ROM from internal SD, instead of external. Works without error.
Sooo.... I can flash custom ROM`s from Internal Memory, and restore from Internal Memory
Not from external SD.
Still, I do get internal/external SD dropouts, and getting "no space left/no memory to install on", which can be "fixed" by a reboot.(Still, it should`t be like this, and are quite annoying.
But, still no luck on getting past the "Loading Levels" on AngryBirds Epic
Where is the root of the problems? Faulty device? Android ROM? TWRP making trouble?
Please guide me if any logs should be provided to find out where the problems is, if i`m not the only one with these problems.

Exlo
You can try flashing a stock ROM via Odin, and start from scratch. Factory Reset, Reroot, install twrp, etc. If you still can't write to /data properly, you may need to find a .PIT file and repartition your internal memory using Odin.
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
I have had to reflash stock with Odin 4 times by now, and it has been the same pain every time.
I was hoping not to use re-partition, so I will wait and see if some new info will come by from other users, as I see there are more of the users that struggles with flashing custom rom. (Stuck at samsung logo, installation fails)
So, will hold off for a few days, and if no new info about partitions, rom flashing, low memory, sd cards not mounting correctly, etc, then I will try re-partition...
meanwile, I`ll investigate som more on my own, read overall the internet
Ok, so i have tried and failed, and learned something on the way
Ext SD is useless for flashing rom, nandroid, etc within TWRP. It does not mount partitions correctly.
If I make sure DATA partition is mounted in recovery, and only use Internal SD, everythin flashes, backups and restores just fine
(Mabye an issure with TWRP?)
SDfix, or FolderMount fixes write permissions to Ext SD in rom to use TitaniumBackup, games, downloads, etc.
Hopes this can help others in simular problems.
And thanks to all that have helped on the way
