Hey all,
I'm trying to get 2.2 on my milestone (Purchased from New Zealand) and I've been having a bit of trouble following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516
Sadly enough points 1 to 7 in the install open recovery part are fine. It's just RSD lite restarts the phone and I try to copy the files across that it kicks up a bit of a fuss.
I open the SD card folder and when I try to copy anything across it brings up a warning saying that it cannot copy the files as the device has stopped responding or has been removed. I thought it might have been to do with the OTA update problem that's listed, but doing that doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, so I have now been able to copy everything across. - I had to rename all the files then change the names back once it's on the sd card... odd.
Anyway, so I've now restarted it using the power and camera key and I can see the update.zip option.
However when I run it it comes up with an error and aborts:
E:EOCD marker occurs after the start of the EOCD
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Not a clue what to do from here, so any advice will be much appreciated. - And if there is any other info that's needed.

That means that you don't have a Vulnerable Recovery installed. What's your bootloader version? If it's 90.78, you can flash this VR via RSD Lite (make sure you have the Motorola USB drivers installed) http://android.doshaska.net/rootable
That's brilliant! - I'll give that a go and let you know if it works. Thanks for the help!
Just to update, it's worked perfectly and I'm now running 2.2. Thanks for the help!
I can't seem to get to the marketplace for flash, but I'm sure I can figure that out.
Cheers
Good to hear! Have you considered flashing a ROM? There are some good ones out there!

Its reaally pissing me off cuz it will not open it and it says no such file exist even tho i can pull it up on my laptop!
maybe you should redownload the file?
i tried
that already and it didnt work either. I unrooted my phone and ended up back at firmware 1.0 and im trying to get cupcake back but my phone wont read the file. it keeps giving me the error message in the recovery screen.
E:cant open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
installation aborted
go intro astro and rename it update.zip or just update.
Your computer might of added an extra .zip

If you unrooted it did you reroot it so you can flash a rom?
Also I know you said you redownloaded it, but did you check the MD5sum.
If you've unrooted then like supreme mentioned, it would be wise to re-root and try flashing again. Also are you running Cyanogen & JF's recovery image? Would make updating much easier if so.

I keep on getting this error when trying to flash a custom ROM into my phone. Is there a way to manually apply the ROM?
I tried booting into recovery then conecting my phone through usb and running the following commands through cmd: "adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip". then it tells me if I want to push "update.zipj", but once I press enter it gives me, "error: device not found"
Here's the cmd log:
Code:
C:\Users\Admin>cd\
C:\>cd\android\android-sdk\tools
C:\Android\android-sdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
000000000000 recovery
C:\Android\android-sdk\tools>adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
protocol failure
C:\Android\android-sdk\tools>
C:\Android\android-sdk\tools>adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zipj
error: device not found
C:\Android\android-sdk\tools>
Am I doing the manual flashing corrrectly? I figured manually flashing the ROM would stop the error from coming up. Could someone either show me or point me in the right direction on how to fix this error and/or possibly how to manually flash the ROM in detail. I've already searched and I keep seeing threads with people asking for similar problems but with no real answer.
any help is appreciated.
1. adb push does not flash a ROM - just copies the file to the SD card
2. Looks like you are in recovery and you cannot push a file, unless you mount the SD card in recovery
Not sure what you mean "manually apply the ROM". ROM flash has to be manual, there's nothing automatic about it.
And, if you had really searched... I am sure you would have found atleast 10 references on how to flash a ROM.
Anyways, here's a link that will give you enough information to just about do anything with your CDMA Hero: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843. BTW, this is a sticky right at the top of where you posted this question...
BOOM. lol. Also the status 0 is an improper mount command, or you have a bad version of busybox. What zip were you trying to flash out if curiosity? And are you rooted, if so how did you do it?
What I meant when I said "manually" I meant to do it through command prompt instead of Rom manager or through recovery. And I was mainly searching for a fix for the status error I was getting. Which there is no info about that in the link you posted, however it does help with flashing my Rom through command prompt. :]
@il duce It's called "nfx speedy kingdom". I've been using the salsa builds in the development section, but I came across this Rom and it says it has everything working including Bluetooth so I wanted to test it out. Ill try using the tutorial on flashing roms without an sdcard and see if it works.
1. By the looks of it, adb is not recognizing your device... so, first and foremost you will have to setup everything properly for adb to connect
2. Even if adb recognizes the device, to the best of my knowledge, you cannot flash anything through adb, you must have confused it with fastboot. And, that too is possible only if you have engineering spl
One of the links from the thread you linked to show how to push the rom to system/data and use cmd to flash it from there, but the rom I'm trying to flash is over 300mb so it doesn't fit :/
I guess I'll try contacting the dev and see if he knows of a solution, might be that the file isn't correctly packed or signed?
edit: flashing using RA recovery it gives me the following:
Code:
E:Missing file:
system/lib/libvoAMRWBDec.so
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
Does that mean it's the ROM that's corrupted?
Dude wtf... thats an evo rom.
Also, andy is correct 100%. Cease and desist before you bork your phone.
o_o he has it under heroc roms.

Edit: Sorry everyone for the questions, I just pm'd nfinitefx and he cleared out everything for me.
I am getting ready to jump into flashing for the first time. I am having difficulty through trying to get into CWM Recovery. I need to do a nandroid backup of my stock Froyo with all the settings in order to avoid headaches if something goes haywire. I have tried several times and failed. I have the current version of CWM Recovery 2.5.1.2. Each time I Reboot into Recovery I get into the blue screen, not the red CWM. I have also done the Reinstall Packages option as instructed on other theads and sites. Still to no avail.
Also when I try the Backup Current ROM, I confirm the file name, hit OK I get yellow messaging stating:
update media
Appling Multi-CSC
Installing Multi-CSC
Install default apk-files
etc.
When I choose reboot system now the last thing stated before reboot is Phone is Reset. If I choose reinstall packages I get, in yellow,
Install from sdcard
Finding, opening and verifying update package
Followed by, in red,
E: failure to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I appreciated any assistance/guidance to clear this problem up so I can get started flashing. I have done quite a bit a reading and thought I was ready. Hopefully this is a minor problem and does not indicate I need to do a lot more reading before I jump into the world of flashing.

How to flash a gingerbread rom Captivate (MobileTechVideos) on youtube will help you a whole lot with your issue. I really believe watchin this video is gonna help u!!! Good luck!
try re-downloading the update.zip (cwm.zip). and make sure its named update.zip and make sure it is in the main directory on your sd , (not in a folder).
You could try aio toolbox it has a cwm installer. with a simple clean & guide
really?? it was too hard to look at the sticky roll-up that contains all the info you need?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161102
my youtube comments are making sense more and more now....
Ok
Please forgive me I have spent up to 7 hours today searching and trying but to no luck.
So I didnt realise what i was doing and Semi Bricked my Phone. I edited build.prop and saved it in MyExplorer(name?) to try and turn off the camera sounds and when I rebooted, it just gets stuck on the galaxy S 2 screen, boot loop.
I'm on SGSII (Australia) Stock Vodafone's ICS 4.0.3 Rooted.
I have CWM installed but tried a few things:
- I can get into Download MOde (no idea what to do here)
- I can get into CWM mode 5.0.2.7 Recovery mode but cant do anything still.
- I tried various Edify script builders to try and put the original build.prop back in but get multiple Status 0 errors whenever I try update.zip from the SD card.
- I tried rebuilding the backup on there and changing the build.prop file on there and trying to restore but MD5 check fails. Even tried rebuilding the MD5 file with the modified files and still no luck. MD5 files fails.
Would anyone have any suggestions and how to resolve this without a flash or wipe? I didnt back recent backup and will lose everything.
I am coming to a point where I really am wanting to back to Apple
There are 2 build.props attached. One is the bad one that stopped me from booting up and I found another one that was named .bak (extension taken off) I found in the same directory (/SYSTEM)
If anyone can help me build an update.zip to push in via CVM I would greatly be in your debt (I tried for 4 hours with no luck)
If you have recovery and download mode yet nothing is lost.
In first, do saved your apps ?
If you had saved them or if it doesn't matter to you, reflash a rom via recovery
LINK HERE:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2773/cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip
Flash it GoogleApps folder
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
The rom that I attached to the reply is a CM9 ICS version, it's quitly stable and we can have some settings on it.
If it doesn't work reflash with Odin (it's with software who use the Download Mode)
http://hotfile.com/dl/149514867/aea2f22/I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip.html
Instructions
-Unzip the Rom Folder ( I9100XXLPQ..........)
-Open the included Odin
-Put your phone on Download Mode
-Click PDA and select I9100_CODE_I9100XXKP*_CL*_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
-Click PHONE and select MODEM_I9100XX*_REV_02_CL*.tar.md5
-Click CSC and GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXA*.tar.md5
-Click Start and don't touch anything still the colored case become green
-And now your phone resurrects
Reply me of results
thanks for your reply
unfortunately i didnt save my apps and havent got backups of my data either
i cant reach the file via ADB either, when i run ADB (have KIES installed and worked before) - adb devices.
nothing shows up when the phone is stuck on "Samsung GS2" screen.
do you have any recommendations around keeping my data there?
If you find the exact same software your on now to download you could try flashing that in cwm without wipes I think that would work i think it replaces all system stuff so it will work, worth a try

what if i just want to flash build.prop via update.zip?
i tried so many methods but it always fails. is anyone able to create a update.zip for me?
i used a GUI script creator to try and update it via CWM recovery mode but it doesnt seem to like it.
If i turn off signature verification, it gives me a (status 0) error saying : E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
and if i turn on verification toggle, it says E: signature verification failed
can anyone help?

Can you mount any sd on your pc, because you can the recovery mount trick to access to your data.
When you are in the recovery menu, go to mount and storage and click on "mount usb storage" and the internal and external sd will appear on your pc.
you are posting in galaxy s thread....repost in galaxy s2 thread
I don't think so but then again I don't own a s2 but you can select advanced restore: restore data then flash a compatible ROM, then restore the data if you worried but as I said before flashing the same ROM shouldn't remove user data

Whenever I go to flash the viper mod, which I really want to get. It says "Unable to open zip file. Error flashing zip /sdcard/ViperOneM8_1.4.0.zip"
Here's what I've tried to do to troubleshoot the issue.
- First I tried loading it on my phone with push, same error.
- I then reboot my phone in factory settings, turn on File Sharing mode, and transfer it to the external that way. Then rebooted in recovery and tried to install. Same error.
- I then moved it from the external_sd to the internal sd. Still the same error.
I've also tried some of these steps after deleting the old copy off my phone/computer and downloading another. Same error. Also, if I let it check the md5, I get an error. So, I guess I keep getting a bad download? I'm not sure. I do know that the file opens up fine on my computer.
Only things I can think of is make sure your flashing with TWRP and not any other recovery. But it does sound like you're getting a bad download.
