1.28.401.9 OTA problem with unlock/root?

I'm unable to install the 1.28.401.9 OTA update and was wondering if anyone else has the same issue - or whether I'm missing something obvious.
My 1X is unlocked and rooted but still running stock.
On completion of the OTA download I select to install and it boots into CWM Recovery with "Installation Aborted" at the bottom and
"E: Unknown volume for path [PATH] E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARDownload..." etc.
So I select 'Install from SD card'>'choose zip...'> then go to Downloads and select the update file and get:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
So I disable signature verification, try again and get:
assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid")...
Then a string of 8 digit numbers and alphanumeric codes and finally
E: Error in /sdcard/Download...[PATH]
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Anyone have any ideas why it's not working?

same problem......

Me too

Kevin & Orel - just to be sure, can you confirm that you are rooted and running stock as well please?

Yep unlocked and rooted, but running stock. Once in CWM Recovery I see the same errors as you.

yes before I was sfr version and my htc is root & recovery & stock htc .....

Reinstall stock recovery
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

tested stock recovery, but nothing happens ....
if I try to flash the uptade I receive an error message.
Appears when I have the stock recovery, I can not access the recovery to flash, I have a black page with a phone 3 green arrow and then a red box ...

And people told me I was silly to tell people NOT TO TRY AND RUN AN OTA ON A ROOTED PHONE!!!
Seriously, guys. Historically it's been nothing but problematic trying to apply an OTA to a rooted phone. If you want it THAT bad go custom

You need stock recovery to apply OTA...
You dont flash it yourself from recovery!!!
The update program does that

i just flash .zip stock ...

+1 that
1. Download the OTA using the handset
2. Flash stock recovery (there's a download link in the CWM thread iirc)
3. Reboot
4. Go to Settings -> About -> Software Updates -> Check now
Assuming you already downloaded it, you'll be prompted to install it
5. Once the OTA update runs (it reboots twice) reboot into fastboot mode and reflash CWM
CWM can't flash the OTA and I personally didn't have to relock my device (It's not an RUU update)

Flash RUU DONT root and try again...
Once updated root again

PLEASE Help! Stuck on Startup screen after Odin

Hello all
I was updating my gf phone from rooted UVALJ4 or UVALH2 (Cant remember now, but it was an old Firmware) to root66 T999_UVUENC2 via Odin 3.09 on my Win 7 pc but after the odin install (which passed) I rebooted the phone and I got stuck on the Samsung logo on the start up screen. After about 10 mins I pulled the battery and tried to enter the Recovery mode, but nothing appears. Just a black screen.
So i Odin flashed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 to try to get to a recovery, but that didnt work. Still no Recovery.
I then used odin to flash the stock tmobile UVUENC2 4.3 firmware and it still gets stuck on the Samsung screen.
Next I tried to unbrick it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 using "SGH-T999 4.3 only Debrick Image" and reflashed the stock 4.3 rom, but that didnt work. :crying:
What can I try next? WHat should I do? I can still access download mode, thats about it.
Please help if you can.
Thx

I dont know how but I got the stock recovery to finally appear and now I get these errors (see Pic) what do these mean?
The recovery errors read: E:failed to mount /data ( Invalid argument) can't mount "/data" (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
again thx

Never Mind Used Unified Android Toolkit to fix recovery and flash stock rom.
Thank god for that toolkit.
...time to donate
:victory:

Mod Please delete Thread.
Thx

In the future, try a factory reset, almost all boot hangs are solved with this. Happens because of incompatible data between versions, which would make sense condidering the jump you made. Kind of makes sense with the error message too, but I'm not 100% certain there.
Be careful with the toolkit. There is no support for it and it has bricked phones in the past.

Phone getting stuck while booting with micromax logo

My micromax android one phone is stuck during boot with micromax boot logo. It has 5.1.1 android version with build number LMY47V.
To recover this, I am trying to flsah rhe ROM with this OTA - d827aed7f4da8fcedfcd24c8d67e97977b610120.signed-sprout-mmx-ota-1783956.d827aed7.zip
But I am getting below error:
Can't install this package over newer build
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
However, in file ..\d827aed7f4da8fcedfcd24c8d67e97977b610120.signed-sprout-mmx-ota-1783956.d827aed7\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, I removed the line which checks for newer build. But with that I am getting now following error:
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
IS there any way to avoid this signature problem.
Please help find OTA which could be flashed on my phone or any other suggestion.

I tried putting twrp recovery which requires device to be in debugging mode. Since my device is not booting to that stage, I skipped that part and tried if via other fastboot commands, it will be done or not. But this also fails as the device remains in default recovery.
I tried flashing through SP Flash tool also, but there it is not able to detect the device.
Please let me know if something else can be tried. Appreciate any help on this.

Bricked Note 8? Can't flash any Rom | Please Help! E: Unable to mount '/preload'

Hi!
I'm having a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 N5110. I have installed a new rom using TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery but now I can't change Rom because when i try to flash .zip files i get the following error:
E: Unable to mount '/preload'
But once flashed the new rom the tablet doesn't boot (I can see the Bootanimation but no more! And I have Wiped all data)
What is working:
Download mode accessible
Recovery accessible
I can flash files
What I noticed:
I can flash zip roms but I always get the mount preload error, I tryed to mount preload partition in my recovery settings but it doesn't mount!
Originally I have had this firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/32115/N5110XXDNF1_N5110ITVDNF1_ITV/
Ok, I tried to download the stock rom from Sammobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57737/N5110XXDNK1_N5110UVSDNK1_TPA/) but when i try to flash that with Odin I get the Failed! message.
I tryed to change recovery and to flash a new rom (Gnabo rom) but it doesn't finish booting.
I think that this is a partition problem and that I need a PIT file to restore them, i found this thread about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333191. I tryed to flash the file but i get Failed!
Now, I'm trying to download a new stock rom, I found this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56156/N5110UEU2COI3_N5110XAR2COI3_XAR/ I hope it will work!
Please can someone help me?:crying::crying::crying::crying:

I've had such problem when tried to change partitions using this manual.
After I flashed modded PIT file I see that my partitions changed, but I couldn't restore backup or flash any ROM withour errors. Though TWRP 2.8.7.0 said "successful" I seen a lot of errors in log "E: Unable to mount '/preload' ". So when I try to boot my I777 I have bootloop on ROM logo, either SlimLP, CyanogenMod or CyanideL. I tried to repair\resize partition in TWRP with no luck. Odin and stock firmware is no help - it always fails because of partition. So I found original PIT file pulled out from stock ROM, flashed that PIT using Odin and now I can either flash stock firmware thru Odin or flash some kernel with custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. So my guess is to find such PIT file that will fix your issue.
Hope this help.
UPD: I was be able to install SlimSaber(KK 4.4.4), so I suppose if you getting "E: Unable to mount '/preload' " you can either flash original PIT or you can find ROM that don't use /preload partition.

S4 Mini (GT-I9190) Stucked

Hello there. When i'm rebooting my phone into system, it's vibrating 2 times and model name appears (This loop always continuing). I can access to download mode and recovery mode. I tried installing stock rom via Odin it didn't install, loop continued. I installed CWM 6.0.5.1 but when i format factory reset, system or data it says completed successfully but when i enter into internal storage i can see (my pictures etc.) recovery didn't delete. Also when i'm trying to install custom rom (LineageOS 16) it gives (Status : 7 Error "no file_contexts target" ).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
