Hello,
I was playing around with Donut, building it from source and flashing it, and it wouldn't work, so I wiped the device, and when trying to flash the stock ADP1 firmware image (on my ADP1), it gets this error:
Code:
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/bugreport
Anybody know how to fix this? (I'm not using Apps2SD)
Thanks,
Isaac
More information:
I boot into recovery, then press Alt-L, Alt-S and then this comes up:

So did anybody find the answer? I was trying to flash my custom ROM as well and got the same issue... don't know what to do...
Use deodexed apk's and delete al files in system/bin witcb get symlinked
I have a bit of a problem.
I have dangerspl, latest radio & cyanogen recovery 1.4 +jf.
I've tried to install numerous roms on my G1:
Both modaco v2 hero roms from http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m-is-here-2-versions-based-on-the-new-update/
also, cyanogen's 4.0.4 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
and JAC;s xrom v1.4r3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543621
The process I'm following is
Code:
alt+w wipe in recovery then,
adb shell mount /sdcard
push the zip over with adp push whatever.zip /sdcard/whatever.zip
and finally apply any zip from sd.
Installation gets to 'copying files' then I get some errors:
Code:
E: Can't chown/mod /system/xbin/busybox (No such file or directory)
E: Failure at line 41:: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/busybox.
Installation aborted.
I've sniffed around and found /system is full via df -h.
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 47.8M 0 47.8M 0% /dev
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1.3G 105.3M 1.2G 8% /sdcard
/dev/block/mtdblock3 90.0M 90.0M 4.0K 100% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock4 30.0M 1.1M 28.9M 4% /cache
Is it safe to rm -rf /system or will it turn my g1 into a shiny black paperweight?
Thanks,
Ruint.
edit: seems /system/app is full of apk/odex files, is it safe to remove them?
edi2: looks like after wiping, /data is never remounted, even if I mount it, it looks like it's unused in the install procsess. :/
repartition ur card to give urself more space. u can pull ur apps off of the partition. or write down what u have and reinstall all of them. also make sure u have the right spl, radio image, and if u haven't grab cyanogen's 1.4 recovery to help with the partitioning. of u can partition with ubuntu or paragon. if u need help check my sig and get back to me on gmail, or gtalk
EDIT: i see that u already have the radio, spl and recovery lol
same problem as yours.......
I can install some roms (CM 3.x, CM 4.x, zeroXd and even some hero ones), but while flashing others (JAC, MoDaCo, ecc.) I receive errors like the one you said and sometime line 88 copy_dir error.
Tried repairing the sdcard filesystem but it didn't help.....maybe it's a space related problem, as you suggested?
ps latest radio, recovery, and spl for me, too.......
I've had these errors and usually what it means is the rom.zip file is corrupt. Are you guys downloading the zip files from your phone? If so try downloading from a computer and then putting it on your phone. Don't use ADB just use windows. This solved my problem.
I'm downloading from the pc. Tried re-downloading and a different microsd card but the situation hasn't improved much....... sigh
any one found a fix for this issue...i cant seem to load newer ROMS..i keep gettin this error...pls help
I'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with the SD. The /system folder is stored on the phone's memory, not on the SD card. I'm looking into modifying the install script to use the busybox that is in /system/bin
EDIT: oh and "rm -r"ing anything is scary. I'm pretty sure that the whole system folder gets overwritten by most ROM install scripts, but why delete it?
EDIT: So I tried removing the copy commands from the install script and then copying the stuff manually and this happened: I first "rm -r"ing the system folder which removes all but the lost+found, then I tried copying the system folder from the ROM manually using "cp -r * /system". Then I got a very tell-tale error: not enough room on device. doing a quick "df -h" shows that my system folder is only allowed 67.5M of space, which is less than what ruin posted as his. anyone know of a way to resize?
i can install any rom on my x1..i try to but the screen just hang... pLLLLLSSSSS help

Where the hell is your /system/sd partition?
If your trying to install a Hero rom it needs an ext partition.
According to this:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 47.8M 0 47.8M 0% /dev
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1.3G 105.3M 1.2G 8% /sdcard
/dev/block/mtdblock3 90.0M 90.0M 4.0K 100% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock4 30.0M 1.1M 28.9M 4% /cache
Where is mmcblk0p2 (system/sd) at?
Title is self explanatory.
I can install roms like boogieclair, but i can't install kingxkxlick's, open community eclair, or jubeh's rom.
i get errors like but mostly.
E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin/procmem

I have hard SPL, with the latest Radio with a G1
You need the SPL in my sig (1.33.2005), not hardSPL. Most of the roms make mention of this in the first post.
Flashing from CM 5.0.8 using Rom Managers FRF83. It downloads three files, ERE27, FRF50, and FRF83. I get this error when installing part two

From what I'm reading, this means that the updater script from Rommanager doesn't release the mount on system after the first flash, because I can easily navigate to the directory after I receive this error and install it manually. I figure the way it works is after install it umounts.
Just as an FYI, if others are trying this, this is what I did to overcome. 1.Using clockwork recovery
2.mount SD
3.find FRF83fromFRF50
4. copy to /sdcard/update.zip
5. manually install ERE27toFRF50
6. let it boot
7. reboot into stock recovery
8. install update.zip through stock recovery
BOOM FRF83
Ooops, sorry MODs. It originated as a question, but I figured it out mid writing this. Please move to general. Sorry
Hi, when i try to flash any update.zip file from ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0 i get the same error:
