Need Help with cyanogen mod 4.1.999 update

I installed signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip.
When I go into android system recovery <2e> it says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I cannot flash any update.zip file.
It says
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I want to install cm-recovery-1.4.img
Is this possible to do without root. (as I think it somehow was undone.)
I have adb and know how to use it but I cannot get it to find cm-recovery-1.4.img on my sd card.
Almost ready to turn tricks to get this fixed!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Not too helpful, but maybe..
I was having a hard time upgrading as well. But what finally worked for me was rolling back to the original RC29 nbh, rooting again, then installing the 1.4 recovery and going forward from there. I seem to always run into problems switching from one rom to another unless I go through the process starting with the Rc 29. Hope this is kinda helpful.
Thanks your right, it's the best way.
for me it worked.
installed the devphone thingy, than 4.1.999 and so on. no problem at all. dunno why it wont work for u

PLEASE HELP - Can't install any ROMS???

I just got my replacement phone thru HTC and I was returning my current N1 to stock. I had CM6 installed and I rooted my phone without Unlocking it. My plan was to reinstall the stock recovery and go back to a stock unrooted Froyo.
A bunch of stuff happened and where I'm stuck at now is that I have a stock recovery. And my phone has an incomplete OS. (When it loads it just Force Closes everything.)
The last thing i flashed before the OS stopped working was: Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip
I tried flashing in fastboot. idk what else to do?
I'd like to either have this go back to stock like i wanted or at least get back to having RA Recovery so i can recover my nand
Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I got mine to stock and successfully returned it to HTC for a swap without any problem using fastboot from the link above. I didn't flash it to stock 2.2 I only flashed the room that it came with from factory (really old one ERD79) and HTC didn't care.
yeah i tried doing that first. but i kept getting failed verification errors
just flash RA recovery via fastboot ( if you can, I dont't know if it will let you since you don't have bootloader unlocked)
Or try using the PASSIMG.ZIP method
Please help soon. i have to send this phone back to HTC
IMGPASS.zip did not work. Main version is older! error
it wont let me go into stock recovery and flash any signed ROMS. It starts to open them up and then i get an error.
Verifying update package...

Phone Fixed itself??
THe phone fixed itself. It finally rebooted and no force closes.
No idea what i did that fixed it.
but i just accept that it happened.
Now to mess with my new phone :/

[Q] Error updating to Froyo OTA - help!

Hi guys I'm sure one of you could help me,
I rooted my phone ages to using unrevoked and now I want to update to the official 2.2 update OTA but when I download the update my phone gives me an error (error 7) when I try to install it. It keeps going into ClockworkMod and trying to install the update via that.
Is there a way of completely restoring my phone back to factory settings? I've tried selecting this option in the phone's settings but ClockworkMod is still installed. I want to be able to remove ClockworkMod completely and start again so I can update to the official Froyo.
Can anyone help?

FIXED:
1) Got my Goldcard installed:

(making sure USB debug is OFF for mass storage mode)
2) Ran the RUU.exe downloaded from here:

I don't care about having my phone rooted so this was the best option!
Hope this helps some people in my situation.

[Q] Flash error driving me crazy

OK, I guess I just have no idea what is going on. I'm running CM6.1.
About a week ago, my phone quit receiving text messages. From what I can tell, I just need to update the profile and PRL. I don't see that as an option on CM6.1. So, I try to flash over to a sense based rom.
Every rom I try gives an installation error:
Code:
Copying files...
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/zcip
E:Failure at line 62:
symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/zcip
Installation aborted.
Upon more investigation, I found that a fix was to replace the SPL. I did that with Darch's ENG-SPL.
Still no worky. I can reload CM6, but that's all. Any ideas are much appreciated.
what exactly are you trying to do? flash a sense rom?
where do you get this error message? what recovery do you have?
I have the GodSpeed Recovery/Darchstar Edition. I have been running CM6.1. I am trying to flash any sense-based rom, so I can get in and update my profile and PRL. After I wipe everything, I flash the sense rom (tried 3 different roms).
As the rom is flashing, that error occurs and the rom fails to install.
Again from reading the forums, that error appears to mean that I needed a new SPL. I loaded Darch's ENG-SPL and flashed it. This did not fix the problem.
I noticed that after flashing the SPL, it calls for a reboot. When rebooted, it goes into a soft boot loop restarting at when the HTC logo appears. I can boot to recovery and then at the bottom is says:
Formatting CACHE:...
It stays that way and does not finish. This might be a problem, yet I don't know how to fix it.
So, at this point, I have access to Recovery and that is all.
Had that prob to try to reflash your recovery. If that does not work you might have to ruu and reroot. Ran into that error day before yesterday when trying to update prl/profile. Its a fastboot zip in the dev section. Hope it helps good luck.
Yea it's me Again. With the
Modified .HERO.
Are you running firerat mod?

Bootlooped after unrooting on OC5 SM-G870A

Well, I did a complete unroot on my phone via the menu option and after rebooting, my phone bootloops.
To begin with, there was nothing fancy, just OC5 stock, stock recovery and rooted. I tried flashing with OJ3, G870A OC5 Stock rooted rom, and even tried flashing the G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4 from Odin but they all fail.
When I try and install the roms using the recovery install from external, i get the verification errorm which I think is because they aren't signed by samsung.
Verifing the update package:
E: Footer is wrong
E. Signature Verification Failed
Installation aborted.
When I tried to install the official MD5, I got a "Failed to map file" error.
What can I do from here? I just want a working phone at this point. I don't care about root now.

I got my phone working again so I will post here in case anyone else runs into trouble.
I was able to determine that my phone was on OF3, no OC5 as I originally thought. I was able to determine this by reading through the recovery log in Recovery Mode.
To resolve the bootloop, I followed the the method outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65548400&postcount=64
At first, after applying the update.zip, I thought it was hung, but eventually I just let it sit and then voila! working.
Of course it wasn't really as quick as this, it was hours of trying different things and poring through the forums. At any rate, I hope this helps someone.
