Error while updating.

I tried the files provided on the tutorial but when I confirm the update, it says (bad). I think I'm missing the "image" file or something. Also I see some people says applySD but mine says Flash SD. I don't know if that's normal or not. Can someone help me? I'm trying to get everything back to stock. Here's my build info....
Android version : 2.2
Baseband Version: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d [email protected]#1
Build number: FRF83
After hitting the confirm button...
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...

E: Can't open/sdcard/FRF91_Stock_deodexed_signed.zip (bad)

This been happening to all the recent files. Has anyone had this problem?

This is what it says
**removed**

You need the stock recovery.

No!
Deodex means no stock so it won't work.
You just need to check md5, seems like a bad download or copy on sdcard.

Where do I go to check that? I have that error on any updated files. Not just deodexed.

Do you have stock or custom recovery?
Under linux:
$ md5sum <file>
Under windows:
use google to get a little free app that does the trick -- i don't use windows

Custom recovery.
Build: RA-nexus-v1.7.0

E: signature verifcation failed

finally got captivate up and runnning again thanks to a few helpful members. after copying clockwork into my internal sd folder and renaming update.zip, rebooting to recovery mode, selecting "reinstall packages" i get an error message after a few seconds. it reads this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what could be causing this?

That is because you have 3e recovery which does not allow you to flash unsigned files. You can check this out for the solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213

what is with 3e this month? why is it such a popular choice for a new thread?

You can do it one of two ways:
1) download adb onto your computer and use the commands.
Here's a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/user/MobileTechVideos#p/search/0/y6K1XLmafPc
2) Use root explorer or a similar app like file manager to drop the modded 3e file from the link I gave you into the system/bin folder of your phones internal sd card. You have to be rooted to do this.

New - No more partition editing required!
HC16JUN2011
HD Video
-Changelog
Like with any rom, YOU MUST WIPE CACHE, SYSTEM AND DATA, this rom especially, the is a pre alpha and has issues with cache, if you don't clear your info every time you will run into problems. I also clear Dalvik Cache and Battery Stats.
Old info on how to partition
STEP 1 – You need the new NVFlash click here for the unpartitioned onces(may need these)
NVflash edit- pretty simple you need to change the android fastboot full, you'll find that file towards the top of the nvflash folder or you can download my premade ones: (BUT I DIDN'T FORCE YOU TO DOWNLOAD THESE, IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE BY USING THESE THEN YOU BRICKED IT NOT ME, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
Sorry about the mega upload, working on getting my server up, also CWM is untested, it had some problems but I believe that was due to file size.
Clockwork Mod folder
Stock Recovery Folder
The section your looking for looks like this
[partition]
name=APP
id=9
type=data
allocation_policy=sequential
filesystem_type=yaffs2
size=209715200 <---(here is the money)
file_system_attribute=0
partition_attribute=0
allocation_attribute=0x10
percent_reserved=0
filename=system.img
minus the arrow and the here is the money you'll find the size listed as 209715200, you need to change that to 536870912, once you save go to here to setup your APX drivers and prepare to flash according to the link
STEP 1.1 – THIS IS FOR CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY ONLY Download Here
Make a copy of your nvflash folder, I name it PIXEL QI CW Mod
STEP 1.2 – THIS IS FOR CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY ONLY
Thank you darknao
Quick & Dirty method :
Extract the recovery.img from the clockwork.zip, and copy it to the nvflash folder(replace the original one).
Step 2
You need then to put your device into force recovery mode, so turn off your device, then power it on while holding the power + the volume down button till a orange and a yellow lite light up.
Step 3
Run the download.bat file described in the nvflash or unbrick your adam thread - now you can change the file name of the rom to update.zip and flash freely!

Reserved for other usage

Any idea when we'll get gapps working? Or you just linking to what they have done? Thanks for working to spread the word.

Gapps are included however this build didn't have them, they had alot of problems with the sync feature, but in theory you should be able to use the latest gingerbread gapps, I will test that right now.
-OK I tested it out, the google setup frooze up on me, after restarting I was able to get into the initial setup, but I have the wifi only model, so I'm going to look into the gapp issue, see if I can find a way around.
-Tried a couple more copies of gapps including a HC edit for the nook sdk HC-- I would press more into this but with the rate of the updates I think its kinda pointless, for now Im going to adb push the market and see what I can get working, hopefully not in-vain since MrGuy and DJSteve move so fast with the updates.

after you use nvflash it will start to boot.. (this would be before flashing update zip) so should I power it down while its booting that first time in order to reboot to recovery and flash the zip?

I do but you don't have to if you use clockwork mod, it doesn't really matter, since you will be building your Dalvik cache once you install your rom.

what operating system do you have? Is your adam in apx mode, and did you edit the android fastboot already? is it still a .bat file

osx, i already changed the file. what is apx mode? my adam has CWM on it, i understand that i am not supposed to have it for this HC rom. can i use the recovery image in the nvflash folder?

APX is the force recovery, the drivers are included with the NVflash, you must put your device into force recovery, with your device off you press volume down + power till you get your two lights to light up by the power cord, it'll be red and yellow, this is force recovery mode, I am using CW with it and I have listed above how to flash the CW with the increased partition. If you can't figure it out I will be adding the NVflash files with CW mode and non CW mode with the partition edits tonight. I will be turning the change log into a FAQ as well.

Just flashed the ROM and it is awesome. I was just wondering how to get a file managers working. I can't see my sd card. But otherwise, its amazing that honeycomb is up so fast.

okay my adam is in apx mode, i did your steps for using CWM, but im still getting the error:
./nvflash: ./nvflash: cannot execute binary file
i used chmod on the download.sh file, as well as nvflash. any idea whats going wrong?

Sounds like you're using linux like me. Are you on ubuntu. Cause I tried and tried and even with chmod and sudo and still got the same error. Consider this post though from: http://notioninkhacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=1651&start=30
Hey gibson, thanks heaps for that! Actually, yourncomment before asking which folder I was in did it. Very strange, I had to run the commands from 2 folders above the extracted one, then symlink all the other files into the folder I was running from. Will post more later for people who run into similar issues, likely over at the unbricking thread. For now I've got a dualboot setup, and am running a minimal natty rootstock. I tried using the full omap4 image (ubuntu's default arm), but could only get it booting with lots of errors and no gui. Will be aiming to install the netbook desktop (unity 2d) in the next few days.
Re the post above, rayman's boot image already includes the kernel, so it's not needed in the rootstock command. Re the other options, probably will work, but remember rootstock is limited in what you can build... I.e., unless you have heaps of physical ram, you will probably only be able to build a few packages. Head over to xda, and the ubuntu on adam thread there for more info. We have experimented a lot with rootstock builds, and some of that might be useful.
Has anyone tried raymans boot.img with a natty rootstock? Did it work, and has anyone gotten a 2d unity gui up and running? My minimal natty rootstock boots fine, though I notice a few errors. Not sure if they are problematic or not. In any case, the build I made seems to be missing some important wireless tools, so I will likely rebuild it again with them in it soon. Am I likely to run into any problems using rayman's boot image, and steveh's kernel, with a natty build? Happy to post up my work if I get anything decent. Cheers.

osx 10.6.6, thank you!

Don't know if the problem is solved yet but that doesn't take away from this honeycomb coolness. So happy to have so much use out of this Adam. Thanks.

that really didnt help, thanks though. i guess i will instal ubuntu in parallels and give it a shot...

Two problems here:
-How can i mount the adam with the computer? To move next updates and update in the next releases
-There is any gapps working (market,etc...)?

The problem with installing the rom through cwm

I have a problem I wanted to upload a rom Omni 4.4.1 but during the installation of the phone memory I have this error:
--Install: /emmc/omni.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /emmc/omni.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted
Click to expand...

If I type adb adb Sideload omni.zip is the same. The error occurs with every Rom. only salvation is to upload rom Xperia-Z-ized_NOTE_v1.0 by adb, this one installs. I have a kernel with CWM Philz. Sooner I used rom Xperia-Z-ized_ note but I wanted to change it.Other roms do not install by 'adb Sideload' only the Xperia.
Sorry for my english

Because you are on Philz Recovery which is for 4.1.2 Jellybean, you're not able to flash OmniROM. You need to do the steps described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531957.

Or, to quote father chas, Who had the following to say about people who do not read the OP.
chasmodo said:
Or if you don't want to do that, then:
1. grab your Note firmly with your right hand
2. go to the bathroom
3. put your Note below the water level in the toilet bowl
4. keep it there until you see no more bubbles coming out.

Well, there are only two things you can do as far as I can tell:
1. put your Note right in front of your right hand side wheel, shift into first gear, release the clutch, drive; shift into reverse, drive back; repeat until you can hear no more crunching sounds, or
2. learn to read and/or search

I have uploaded the kernel r4 for jb4.3 but still it is the same and you can not upload any rom, the same error, and this still Adb does not see the phone ....

Ánd did you reboot the recovery after uploading said kernel?

Did you try downloading the zip again? What all roms did you try to install using the r4 recovery? Did you first format /system?

Already running
All I did like the guides, but on the memory is not installed. I have uploaded the drivers manually and adb command 'adb Sideload omni.zip' I uploaded rom and gaps.
When I select install zip from sdcard0 it is still the same error.

Also, THIS

And definitely try to re-download the files, It wouldnt suprise me if this is a bad download.

What is already running? Did you install any other rom file like cm? Why does you omni rom zip say omni.zip? Did you rename it of did something else with the zip?

I changed the file name to not write such a long ADB.
A longer roms to install, after downloading directly to the phone memory goes without a problem.
Thank you very much for your help :victory:

bricked, stuck in recovery

Hi there!
I have a TX1085, it is already unlocked and rooted and has the CM Recovery installed. But before the CM Recovery I had the TWRP Recovery installed and tried to use it to flash CM12, which I had put on the SD-Card. It kept on telling me that mounting the system failed. Unfortunately I wiped everything via TWRP Recovery without creating a backup. Then I installed the CM Recovery to try again. Now, if I try to flash via CM Recovery (apply update) it doesn't show anything in my internal storage and I can't connect via adb using Ubuntu (Terminal tells me either "device not found" or "device offline".)
Any suggestions?
Greets

I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm still learning all this, but in your case, from what I've learnend so far I'd maybe try the "fastboot boot recoveryfile.img" command, loading TWRP or CMrecovery into the ram of the phone and start flashing from there?! (just an idea)

Thanks for your suggestion! Unfortunately I don't know how to get access to my phone again via computer, which is - I think - because I deleted the system on it. Or how else could I get into the ram? This is my first time to flash a phone, so I really need some guidance.

Look for adb in 15 seconds and install it, go to directory where fastboot is located.
Download twrp image and rename it or something and copy recovery.img to fastboot directory.
If there is no recovery.img in that directory it will fail.
After you copy and rename recovery.img then you will be able to do what I told you.
If you are new at modding, you have to take it easy and ask everything before doing it.

In the newer versions of TWRP the first screen should show a Mount button. In that screen you should be able to mount any of the partitions.
