Help! No longer able to flash a hero rom!? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, so after I flashed to cyan's latest 4.1.9999, I can no longer flash a hero rom. During the update process of MLIGN's 2.5.7, KingKlick's 1.9, and MghtyRed's 1.9.1, i get this error or something very similar to it during the update. This is towards the end of it when it is Formatting system and copying files.
E: Can't chown/mod /system/xbin (No such file or directory) E: Failure at Line 77: set_perm_recursivce 0 2000 0755 0 6755 SYSTEM:xbin
Installation aborted.
Can someone please help. I don't know what happend. I even went back to both my cyan404 back up from bart restore and my cyan41999 back up from bart restore and used both hard and danger spl's and got same errors. Thanks!
BTW: I did wipe, wipe ext, repair ext, wipe and then updated. I even wiped dalvik-cache after ext wipe before as well. So i know how to wipe etc and haven't had problems with updating to hero's before in the past. Not sure what the deal is now...

Sounds like a SPL problem to me. Update to Haykuro's Death SPL and try it again.

Are you sure the danger spl flashed properly?

Have you tried re-downloading the roms you are trying to flash? A bad dl (though unlikely with 4 different roms) could casue problems. Might have just had bad connection when you grabbed them.
Can you install other non-Hero roms from update rather than restore?
If all else fails whip out dreamimg.nbh and start over.

Do you have the new Radio and SPL?
I have the new radio and spl
And ive redownloaqded at least 10 times
all with the same result
i formated my card sevral times as well still the same outcome
Its it just a reall bad batch of downloads in row???
You don't have new spl. Flash it again. I promise you that you dont
restart your phone with Camera+Power. if you dont see HBOOT-1.33.2005. then you dont have the newest SPL.

Tried 2 different Hero ROM's 2 fails

I am using a G1. I have have been running Cyanogen ROM's for a while now.
I wanted to try a HERO ROM. I pulled jachero2.3.6 and kingklick1.6.
I booted into Cyanogen 1.4 Recovery, performed my backup, and flashed the HERO ROM's. They both failed with E: can"t chown/mod/system/xbin/nano (No such file or directory)
E: failure at line 42: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/nano
Installation aborted.
Anyone got an idea if I'm doing something wrong?
Do I need to complete reformat my Card and recreate my ext partitions?
That would suck.
First, do you have the newest radio and danger spl? If so you need to wipe, wipe ext, flash, wipe, boot.
hm...sounds weird... try mligns new hero. its like 2.49 or something? his are always super fast and really good...what size sd card and what class do you have? what about the size of your partitions?

G1 fails at flashing and reboots

hey, I had Mighty Max's Hero rom installed onto my phone running perfect and I was happy, until today. My phone is randomly rebooting for no reason what so ever. Started yesterday morning with just one reboot and didn't think much of it then when I woke up today it was going crazy and now its just frustrating. So in my frustration I backed up my phone and put a new rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579674
Now when I flash it goes through everything and then says
Code:
E:Can't chown/mod /system/ (Too many open files)
E:Failure at line 22: set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644
SYSTEM:
Can anyone help me out on this
Specs are in sig.
ok here is what you do, you gotta reformat and repartition your sd card, load a new NON HERO ROM on your sd card, and flash it. that SHOULD do the trick.
i know its a pain in the ass but i have had to do it a couple of times. may i suggest cyanogens rom? its really easy to flash, you just have to flash a .zip before you flash his rom. he has a WIKI. its super easy and pretty stable.
haha oh geeze I did that just before I installed Mighty Max >.<
well, i'll give it a whirl haha.
Thanks for the reply
Edit: It didn't work, I still get errors =/

Yes sir, I always do
Wipe Data/Factory
Wipe Ext
Repair Ext
Wipe Data/Factory
install rom
I don't understand why its doing this.
I noticed your using Amon Ra 1.2.3. I was having a problem with the ROM not staying on my phone until I went back to Cyanogen 1.4. Weird any time the phone was plugged in and I rebooted the ROM was gone. Try flashing and after flash unplugging, reboot and get Cyanogen back on there. Just a thought.

I wasn't able to flash any roms besides a few selected, i wasn't even able to flash Cyanogen's, that even shocked me. It always flashed no matter what.
I reflashed the Mighty Max after thinking that maybe me deleting everything would fix the rom, turns out it doesn't.
When my phone goes idle, it freezes up and restarts from a crash.
I guess its when I get a text, but not all the time though.

Are you wiping your Ext3 with Amon Ra Recovery 1.2.3? If so, go to recovery drop to console and hit enter, then mkefs2 -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 enter. Wait, let it do its thing. Then,
reboot recovery enter. Now flash and proceed to reflash your recovery back to Cyanogen 1.4. If this fails, you may want to go back to RC29. Sounds like alot of work but at least you'll have a functioning phone.

I tried typing the first command and it wouldn't work. Maybe you typo-ed it?
mkefs2?
Can I use this code to do the same?
# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
# rm -rf /system/sd/*
# reboot recovery
./fastboot erase recovery
./fastboot flash recovery *name of whatever you named the Cyanogen recovery image*
./fastboot reboot

The reason I added "*name of whatever you named the Cyanogen recovery image*" is because I tried flashing Amon Ra's 1.2.3 the same way using the default name but Terminal said I couldn't flash, so I just named it "recoveryimage.img."

Hmm I did that as well
in console I put
Code:
cd C:\
fastboot flash recovery cm.img (cm.img is what i named the Cyanogen recovery)
fastboot reboot
It still gives me the same error when trying to install most roms, even in the CM rom.
REFLASH THE HAYKURO "DEATH/DANGER" spl!
it'll repartition (also wipe) your phone's internal phone memory if you haven't already done so,
it's usually the cause since some roms are too big and leave residual files
next stop to ensure a clean install is to just do a data/cache wipe from the recovery menu
now you wanna either wipe/format your ext partition or just repartition your entire sd card for the heck of it
then repair ext partition,
then wipe again
then flash flash flash

Is this the death / danger spl?
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
if it is, I already have it =/
yeah that's the one, but DO IT AGAIN anyways
because it also cleans out the system.
Do I need to flash the radio again as well or just the SPL?
most times when trouble shooting these things, you'd want to repeat steps to ensure that what you're doing and what you have done at the moment aren't causing your problems, only by redo-ing these steps can you validate what's a problem and what's not, and in the process you'll most likely find a solution!
so try repartitioning, wiping, and reflashing the radio and spl, and finally reflashing your rom
just reflash both
radio, then spl
you wanna make sure everything's in good order.
sometimes if all these things don't work, it might just be your sd card has crapped out on you
and its time to get a new one, sd cards and the flash memory on them are limited to however many read and write cycles and if you've been using linux swap on them, then you're using your sd card as RAM pretty much.

I haven't been using my SD card as ext for long though.
I did what you said and it still says the same error.
I even went ahead and installed a new recovery through fastboot to Cyanogen.
EDIT:
I brought the phone back to RC33 and rerooted then upgraded recovery CM 1.3 and Haykuro Death SPL and Latest Radio and I still get the error code.....
I'm going to break this phone >:-(

Well, one piece of information that could fix this whole problem is the spl. What spl do you have?
spl
I'm useing spl 1.33.2005 , I think it is danger spl.
I think that rom supports ext4 but if it was me, I would try re-partitioning and stopping at ext3. Just a thought. Also I would check the md5 check sum for the download or just re-download. Good luck.
tried
I tried the ext3 and I still get the error for some reason And I know Im a noob but what is MD5
wut size is ur swap partition >?
partition
Fat32 is 512 and swap is 96

what went wrong or what did I do wrong?
reflash or reinstall you recovery. happened to me after flashing xillius's rom cuz of the custommtd recovery
might have to wipe ext and make ext 4 what recovery are you using?
Wipe everything on your phone in Recovery. Reformat SD Card. Partition then do ext4. Search Super Wipe v2, download, and Put on Root of SD card. Flash the Zip, power off, then FLASH AGAIN!!!. Then Flash the ROM. This should work.
