Hello everyone
a while ago i got a 13mb update for my GT-I9192, but i couldnt find any way to get the update to work, even tried deleting the update.zip so that i would download again, i recently tried to manually flash the update.zip from the external SD but i get the "can't open sdcard update.zip bad Install aborted" mesage, when i try to flash it the normal way i get the same error but displaying the "status 7" mesage, im also a mac user so i can use Odin to do it, so i was wondering if anyone could help me with this.
PD: i know about the existance of Heimdall but is way to complicated to me, and i just want to flash an update.zip
Thanks :good:

If it's an OTA from Samsung don't think you can just flash from recovery. Definitely not from a custom recovery. Have you tried "flash fire" from Chainfire? I've flashed whole stock roms and kernels with this on the S4 Mini with stock OS and stock kernel and just root.

Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to read this.
I'm trying to install CWM 5 on to my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D.
It's running on Gingerbread 2.3.4.
I followed the guides to a 'T' and still can't figure this out.
I put the zipped file onto my SD card. When I go to install the file the installation aborts.
I've retried this process over and over again with no luck. I also tried to root my phone and I have the same problem.
Installation aborts..
The error it gives me is this: E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip .
I tried downloading the CWM 5 zip from other websites with no luck still.
My goal is to install the CyanogenMod 7.2 for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830.
Thank you in advance for anyone who has read this and replied to help me fix this problem.
Cheers,
Brem.

to install CWM use Odin not recovery mode from your phone recovery mode is good to flash signed packages like updates from manufacturer you get error because that zip package containing CWM is self-signed anyway it fails because is not signed by Samsung so use default/stock recovery mode only to flash official updates -if you get one
look here for a howto guide

i remember seeing error 7 before on a rom i tried to flash.. i was using CWM so its not the recovery's fault. turns out there was a problem with the rom...
so find another rom to flash would be my answer for now.
The problem is that i get this error whatever i tried to flah. Even cwm or some other rom result in same error

What procedure are you using to flash? What file are you trying to flash and where did you get it from?
I start up the phone using volume down and power. Then in teamwinner i chose install zip and then the file
so far have tried, all downloaded from here or linked from here, those files
CWM-Touch-6.0.2.5-DJ
Hellybean-20130405-crespo
TWRP-2.4.4.0-DJ
jellyshot_crespo-v3.3
nothing works. all of them exist with error 7

Fair enough about the roms, but why cant i even install cwm? This shows me just the error 7 too
I wouldn't be surprised if your recovery is either not for your device or not even a flash able zip.

Where did you get that CWM? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager? If so those are img files, for flashing from fastboot. But I have no idea what "DJ" is for. To flash from recovery it needs to be packaged in a flashable zip.
Or you can install CWM from the ROM Manager app. Or TWRP from GooManager.
quite frankly i wouldnt use CWM. The UI is annoying as hell, and it tends ot be a lot slower, at least from my own experience.
I recommand TWRP, http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 latest version here for maguro.
if you have adb set up, installing twrp is cake, simply open adb and type:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img <-----assuming you are in the directory of that img file you just downloaded, and TWRP is just the name of the img file, its usually attached with version, so i would rename it for easier access.
3) after you flashed it just boot into recovery and start flashing your new rom.
If all else fail.....use the toolkit and flash factory image for a fresh start, i havnt failed with factory image yet
my bro got a rooted galaxy nexus with CWM recovery !
we want to install the OTA updates (Device status is normal so he can download the update) the problem is he gets Failed message when he tries to install updates because of CWM recovery! anyone knows how to get back to Stock recovery on nexus i'm noob in nexus fastboot stuff (CMD fastboot command)! also the proper stock recovery.img PLZ ... (i've attached a screen shot of the setting -> About device Screen).
he does not get the error message because of CWM.
he gets the error message because something isnt stock.
what is the assert error message when you try and install the update in CWM?

not in CWM the phone downloads the update pakage restarts and tries to install the updates and it fails there is not error message just fails!
If you want to set the phone to stock...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
If you want to just update to a newer/non-stock ROM, pick one and flash it.

either way, his phone isnt stock. thats the problem. he modded some system file or tried a diff radio, etc.
its not failing because of cwm.
looks like i need to backup every thing and flash a stock ROM! where can i find the latest official rom for galaxy nexus ?
or what about CM is it stable enough for Daily use?

Hello everybody,
I have a rooted V50020D that was running stock 4.4.2 and I started having issues with google play and after many unsuccessful trials to fix it, I decided to do a factory reset and I got stuck on the LG logo screen so I went to TWRP and did a full wipe! I've put many versions of the stock ROM on the SD card and tried to flash them using TWRP but always get an error message that says "can't open zip file" and the process fails.. What should I do?? Please advise!!!
Do you check the MD5 hash of the ROMs you're downloading to make sure the zip isn't corrupt?
Also, see my post here. Good luck!
The flash tool worked! I managed to flash 4.4.2.kdz .. Thanks :good::good:
Awesome! You're welcome!
Hello! I am new to the site so please be serious! Ok, so here's the problem: I rooted my Galaxy Nexus from Verizon to install CyanogenMod 11, Once I got the rom onto my phone I entered recovery using TWRP Recovery, then I tried to install the rom. After that it failed and I can't remember why, but I was being stupid and clicked the format sd card button and bricked my device. Now I'm trying to flash the rom again through ADB and Windows sends the .zip file to the phone, then while trying to install it gives the error of "E: Error executing updater binary in zip" and I cannot figure out a way to fix it. I need help as soon as possible and it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Nobody? Nobody has had this issue or a solution?
