[HELP] Installing stock rom fails - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Ive used the cyanogen rom for a couple of weeks and it works quite oke. Nevertheless I want to go back to the stock rom (EPE76).

Are u using Modaco's stock update zip or the stock passion image zip...
if ur using the passion image zip, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, pop it onto ur SD card, reboot into recovery and it'll ask u if u want to install it...
if ur using Modaco's stock update zip, check the md5 or re-download it and flash via Amon_RAs recovery...

u can download these zip files directly to ur phone jst keep them in root folder
Always click thankx if u find it useful
here is the mediafire link for .zip files that u need for all this work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?evfo2dlq9m92w
go to this link download file ( i consider u have cwm already installed on your phone) if u dont have cwm dont worry give it a try in this link u will find a .zip file named as recovery,..zip jst rename it to update.zip and install it from recovery menu// u can also give this update thing a try with the su.zip files file are main for rooting
Thanks for reponse. But I mention that my phone cant connect to pc, I've tried it alot, I cant connect my phone to pc in download mode so I cant instant cwm. everything I can try is self root apk or flash a rooted rom with base stock recovery.
okk if u cant flash cwm then its quite troubling
if ur usb dosn't work why don't u rush to the service center they will solve this problem in say 15 to 20 mins... better go there and get it serviced ...
Not possible yet without getting it in download mode...

Well you can do that. I mean you can install CWM recovery without connecting your device via USB.
If you can download CWM recovery or Recovery menu directly on your device, follow these instructions.
Extract recovery.img file from downloaded zip file.
Keep it in sdcard's root directory. (/sdcard/recovery.img)
Now copy following commands and save it as Install_recovery.sh in your sdcard's root directory
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /sdcard/fih
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/fih/
cd /sdcard/fih/image/
mv /sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img ./recovery.img
cd /
umount /sdcard/fih
rm -r /sdcard/fih/
And use any script manager or Terminal emulator to run this file.
Using terminal emulator:
Code:
cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh
Now boot into recovery. You should boot into new recovery.
P.S. Similar How-To is also posted in a thread: Restoring stock recovery: (without Download mode). I have just modified it a bit.
Thanks! I'll give it a try. But does Script manager and terminal emulator is a apk that i can install and use to run the command saved in Install_recovery.sh?
So that I run terminal emulator apk and type
"cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh" ?
ok. I've tried but the emulator report errors. I think I must have rooted phone to install cwr with your solution. The error is
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ cd /sdcard/sh install_recovery.sh
cd: bad substitution
$ cd /sdcard/
$ sh install_recovery.sh
, Invalid argumentsdcard/fih
mount: No such file or directory
cd: can't cd to /sdcard/fih/image/
failed on '/sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img' - No such file or directory
cd: can't cd to /
failed.
rm failed for /sdcard/fih/, No such file or directory
$
So how do I get cwr on my phone to root it via cwr method?

dude ... do you have a memory card reader ...???
if u have a card reader then jst remove ur card from phone plug into pc copy all the files i.e cwm recovery update.zip and su.zip
[Installation Instructions]
[Using CWM recovery]​
Copy CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zipin sdcard
Boot into recovery (Steps are given below for how-to-boot-into-recovery)
Use "install zip from sdcard" option
Locate and choose CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zip from sdcard for instllation
After installation reboot into recovery (advanced > Reboot recovery)
i suggest rename the .zip file to update.zip
and then follow rooting instruction
I mean that I've got a stock rom without root. So I havent CWM recovery installed on my phone.
My usb hub on my phone has broken and the phone waranty service not avainable in my country so I need a root solution without usb connecting.
As I know I need rooted phone first to install CWM recovery. Or I need a method to install CWM recovery by stock recovery.
I also try to flash back to 2.2 froyo version to root my phone by gingerbreak apk but not successed. When I try to flash any stock rom 2.2 or 2.3.4 the stock recovery allways report error and didnt worked. The error that stock recovery say is:
Enter lauch_image_update
Prepare failed rc= -209
PID doesnt match!
You cant download this nb0
Some error during preparing
So now I cant do anything with stock recovery only hardreset can done. No flash firmware.nb0 rom no update the update.zip
And when I try to flashing update.zip (CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed_2.zip I renamed it to update.zip) stock recovery say error that:
verifying update package
E:signature verification failed

There is still one option left.
You can create your own nb0 file (since thats the only option working), which has cwm recovery and rooted ROM.
Right now i am away from my work place so cant help you till next monday.

I have another android ( x10 mini pro) and I know that we can make a backup by stock recovery or cook a rom for flashing by stock recovery. But before public the rom the deverloper have to tested it because bootloop is the problem of flashing rom. So before flashing new rom we need do a hardreset and after flashing rom we also need a hard reset to solve boot looping problem.
because of brocken usb hub on my phone. I need tested before flashing. :'(
the test is:
1 make a nb0 file from a phone that working good.
2 try to flash nb0 by stock recovery to another phone to confirm that nb0 work good for all phone.
3 Note that some rom is working realy good for some phone but can make bootloop for another phone because of different keynell they are ussing or we dont make factory reset and do a wipe data and cache also get bootloop problem

Hi...
Are you sure that your phone has this usb problem? Not the usb cable?
I've an experienced with usb cable which has problem to connect, then I use blackberry usb data cable, then it works. My problem is the cable can't powered enough the phone to make data connection.
OR... you can flash Andro-ID RC1 first before other ROMs, which Andro-ID RC1 is the nb0 file (may be you can flashed it using stock recovery) and this RC1 is pre rooted and it has CWM recovery in it. Then you can use CWM to flash other zip based ROMs, including to update CWM it self to a newer version.
Hope it help....
Sorry if I missed understood of your problem! If you want to stay on WellCom 2.3.4 and rooted unwired, someone has to make update.zip with the su+superuser.apk and signed with appropriate key (FIH)

Thats a good option. I thought you have already tried it and received an error saying "### ID mismatch"
Anyway if you have not downloaded it yet, then I have one other option for you. I have created an nb0 file which contains only CWM recovery and nothing else.
This file will install Recovery menu v2 which includes both CWM and stock recovery and no system files/data files.
To install, download attached file to your device and extract firmware.nb0 file from it. (For zip file extraction, you can use ES_explorer).
And then install it using your stock recovery.
After installation system will boot in your current ROM. Reboot into recovery and you will find recovery menu instead of stock.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert in creating nb0 file. Here I have just deleted all unnecessary files from stock nb0 file and replaced recovery image with recovery menu's image. So far this works on my device. I have tried it installing when I am on stock ROM. (Though it was not necessary)
I am not to be held liable/responsible if you damage your phone by following / not following this post.

Try factory resetting and than the exe recovery and root from within recovery. It took me 2 times to get it working error free.

Help! Install from zip problems

I'm kinda stuck now. Ever since I installed cm7 rc5.3 I cannot install from sd card - anything. It cannot open any file when I try to install an update and only message is (BAD) Installation Aborted. Therefore when I tried to install rc5.4 I couldn't!
I don't want to flash through odin again cos thats the whole point of not having to wipe data etc on this new rom (hopefully). Before anyone asks, yes I have tried to unmount and unmount sd card and also toggled signature verification etc etc

You know whether this works or not, its a fantastic idea. I will try and let you know!
Well flashed cwm 4 through odin with no results, however I think I already had cwm 4 anyway cos couldn't install cwm 5 because of same installation problem. However now it has allowed me to install cwm 5 and after reboot recovery still this same message with rc5.4
Code:
Finding update package. . .
Opening update package. . .
E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2-RC5.4-GalaxyMini-Release-signed.zip(bad)
Installation aborted
I'm gonna try and redownload. Perhaps the download waas corrupted halfway through. I tried through a different sd card and still no results.
Edit* Think I've found the problem. I knew something was up as soon as I visited the download page. The 2 file sizes were completely different so something happened with the first download of rc5.4 so hopefully now (fingers crossed) everything should be fine! =)
Edit2* However it's not all fine. When I downloaded, it only downloaded 95.2mb instead of 95.3mb and the last time it downloaded it only downloaded 33.9mb. Does anyone have the full file perhaps they can upload elsewhere?? Please, I've been waiting a week to flash this =(
so i think cwm is not responsible for the error the problem is you have not downloaded the package properly
ok to find the problem delete maket, youtube app and try to flash gapps package after mounting system and data if the package get installed then cwm is ok. and redownload the package

your idea of checking md5sum is good but donot unestimate a single kb suppose if the update binary is not there then cwm will not install the package

i tried to install this on my milestone

but it always says signature recognition failed or something, what should i do?
How are you installing?
Try downloading again.
i just changed the file name to update.zip and changed the original update.zip to something else, then i applied sd card: update.zip in recovery mode. is there a way to turn off signature verification?
This way won't work.
You should install a Recovery (if you don't have one). I suggest OpenRecovery.

problems with rooting my phone

i used this guide:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.co.il/2011/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-popmini.html#.UVQo5Bcqzj4
but i read in the comments that i can use the zip only with stock recovery.. and i have CWM recovery.
i tried to get back to stock recovery, but failed.
anyway to root with CWM?
thanks
Here's another way to root your phone. First,download the latest version of superuser in a flashable zip(google 'superuser downloads'). Then place the zip in your phone's sd card. Go to cwm recovery and select 'install zip from sd card'. Before this you might want to back up your rom,just in case something goes wrong. After that go to choose zip from external sd card and find the zip. Install the zip and when installation finished reboot. Your phone will be rooted after doing this.
