[Help]Couldnt install a ROM - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've rooted my n1 (I think)
with the unlocked logo and flashed the recovery also with SU performing normally
everything's fine until I flash zip from sdcard
it shows E:no signature(763 files)
and stopped me from installing cymod 5.0.5.3
are there anything i missed? I've been searching the solutions for hours
my build number is ERE27 and have updated the radio

Download the file again and see if it works, or you can try and download another rom.

thanks very much...finally able to install a mod...=]

Custom Roms will not boot! Please Help.

Ok. I was running completely stock 2.32.651.2 on my HTC Hero CMDA. I had never rooted before. In the past as various points I had tried a few of the one click methods here and there with no luck, but I never had really done my homework and gave it a serious shot. Over the christmas break my brother in law and I were discussing phones and he told me that he thought Z4root would one click root me and encouraged me a bit not to be scared about trying it. This, combined with my dwindling internal memory gave me the push I needed to be serious about getting a custom rom onto the phone, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get anything to work. Here is an account of the steps I have taken so far.
-Downloaded Z4Root
-Ran Z4Root. It seemed to lock up, and after about 15 minutes I pulled the battery.
-Ran Z4Root again. It stuck on "Rebooting...", but phone was not locked up.
-Checked Apps drawer and found Superuser installed.
-Downloaded Rom Manager and successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.
-Booted to recovery with Rom Manager and manually made a nandroid backup.
-Selected a custom rom (CM6.1) with Rom Manager with "wipe data and cache" selected. Phone booted to recovery and seemed to successfully load CM6.1, phone rebooted itself back into recovery. Whenever I selected reboot phone it would reboot back into recovery.
-Restored my nandroid.
-I then tried to load AOSPmod and NFXStock using the Rom Manager. Both locked up on the initial white HTC screen.
-I then tried to load CM6.1, AOSPmod, and NFXStock manually in recovery, making sure to wipe boot, system, data, and cache in the partitions menu with no success.
-I then ran z4root again and unrooted/rerooted. Each time I run it, it sits on the "rebooting" screen for up to 30 minutes. Phone is not locked up and if I rerun the program it tells me I have root.
-After speaking with some people on AOSP's irc channel I was able to get S-off (I was following instructions and don't recall the exact steps to do this), but with S-Off I tried flashing various roms using the H-boot method with them named HERCIMG.zip Same results: CM 6.1 booted to recovery, AOSPmod and NFXStock both lock on HTC screen.
Next I flashed 2.31.651.7 with the Hboot using a HERCIMG.zip I downloaded via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804692. I then used this thread to root the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296. After rooting I installed Rom Manager, flashed my recovery, and made a nandroid. I then tried to load CM 6.1. Same result; it loaded to the recovery screen. AOSP and NFXSTock both stuck on the HTC screen. I flashed my original nandroid back to my rooted 2.32.651.2
This morning I decided to try the PC RUU route and downloaded the official 2.27.651.5 RUU as provided in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572. When I try to run it however, I get an error on my PC screen: Error [140] Bootloader version is incorrect.
ARG! Please help me to get a custom running!
Thanks,

try amon ra recovery, full wipe including dalvik and flash one of the roms you listed above, like cm6.1 stable (from cyanogenmod.com) with the gapps (from jaybob413's rom thread in hero development). once it starts the boot, give it time, it may take a long time (10 min.) Hope it works.
I flashed RA 1.6.2
Wiped Data/Factory Reset
Wiped Dalvik Cache
Install zip from sd:
When I try CM6.1 I get the error:
E:Corrupt file: system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
E:Verification failed
When I try NFXStock I get the error:
E:Corrupt file: system/lib/libiconv.so
E:Verification failed
I don't have AOSP on my card right now to try it.
Now don't I feel silly! I re-downloaded CM6.1 and put it on the card and it seems to be firing up. I'm on the CM logo bootscreen right now. I have no idea how three separate zips all got corrupted en route to my card, but I suppose that must be what happened. Thanks for the help!

have you tried re-downloading the roms? it sounds like something is missing in them, which shouldn't be. if you are downloading from your phone, try a download from a computer and see what happens. where are you dl'ing the roms from? verification failure makes no sense..... also, did you recently update rom manager from market to 3.0.0.7? there was something listed in the changelog about verification failure fixed when using other recovery, i think....
EDIT: saw your last post, maybe your browser was acting up? delete the bad ones, get new ones, flash away

[Q] How to install CyanogenMod 5.0.7 on T-Mobile G1?

I have difficulty installing the cyanogenMod 5.0.7 ROM for the G1. I tried installing it thrice over 3-4 days and still cant get over it. I initially had Jesus Freak 1.4.2, from which, I tried installing DangerSPL, although to no avail, from then on, the phone seemed bricked. Hence, I renamed the CyanogenMod ZIP file as update.zip, and retried installing it by pressing home+power. Although I got the error that the script file couldn't be found.
Therefore, I freshly installed the official Android 1.0 release from here: code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick and again began the process of rooting, and installing the CyanogenMod ROM. Although, I rooted the phone by watching the videos (youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc) and (youtube.com/watch?v=ua8ljJAnTpc) .
Following which, I think, I installed the radio updates.
I then installed Amon Recovery from following the steps: (bit.ly/eMyBlL) and then the DangerSPL (bit.ly/f2xkvp)
It again seemed the phone was bricked since, it didn't went past the G1 logo. But still I went into recovery via home+power, after I reattempted as earlier, by renaming the .zip file (from computer) to update.zip. and then inserted it into the SD card slot. But it still gave out the same error:
Code:
E:Can't find update script
Installation aborted
Bear in mind that, the recovery utility is not the one where there is a HTC logo on the background, but rather, the one with the exclamation mark within the triangle logo. So there is no choice to flash ZIP files which are not named update.zip
I'm thinking I will again start from scratch, and got back to the official release of Android 1.0, and keep upgrading till the last official one which is, 1.6. Therefore in the meantime, do throw away advice on how to properly root and install CyanogenMod 5.0.7 on the T-Mobile G1 with a different network.

Can't boot android

Hi,
I'm getting this issue that other people seem to have got, everyone else seems to just flash an updated WM rom to fix it, but it isnt working. This occurs after the install completes and i reboot.
Rebooting in 3 seconds..
mdp_dma_to_mddi : busy
I have tried RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42. 30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe as well as RUU_Vogue_4350_TELUS_WWE_3.07.661.1_Radio_4350H_3. 41.00_Ship_withPPSTPatch1.20.exe, ive tried flashing just the Bell 3.42.50 radio and i've tried NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.
All have the same result. with this error
Any ideas?
Are you using haret to boot android? Try the zimage here
Apologies for ignorance, but how do i load this zimage?
The zip file in that link has a .nbh if you just want to install android over the top of WM6, the zimage is for another method that lets you reboot into android leaving WM6 still installed on the phone's internal flash memory. I've never used that method so I won't try and explain it.
Download atools and read the help...
Flashed the NBH and it fixed it, thanks

[Q] Froyo to GRJ22 question

Hi all,
I think I have to finally update my rooted Nexus 2.2.1 to the latest GB because the update nagging is driving me crazy :-(
So anyhow, can somebody tell me if this will work as expected (outcome should be rooted GB 2.3.4)
1. I have latest ClockworkMod Recovery installed
2. I grabbed the official update from /cache. Build.prop says it's GRJ22. Size is 89MB. The zip contains the update plus boot.img and radio.img
3. Renamed the file to update.zip and placed on root of sdcard
4. placed su.zip and fix-recovery.zip in the root of sdcard
So the plan is to reboot into recovery, flash the update.zip. Flash su.zip. Flash fix-recovery.zip and finally reboot.
The outcome should be a rooted GB 2.3.4 with all my apps and settings still present. Will this process work?
Thanks
Raf
Edit zip file and remove recovery image.
i wanna know if the wonk issue in grj22 has been solved..
anyone know?
Flash as a zip from sd, not as an update...
Thanks it worked
And special thanks to bohlool for saving my butt. Per his suggestion I removed the recovery image from the zip file prior to installing and it saved my root because the update rebooted the phone after installing it without giving me a chance to install su.zip.
Thanks again.
Raf
If you flash as a zip from SD, instead of as an update, your phone doesn't reboot...
I did just that, in CWM I selected flash zip, selected the file on SD, and confirmed. I started flashing, then rebooted once, then rebooted a second time and finally booted in the OS. Because I removed the recovery from the update, it did not reflash the recovery and I was able to reboot into CWM recovery and apply the su.zip update (and this time it did not reboot on it's own).
Btw, my GRJ22 update was 89MB vs 6MB what has been posted here as an official update.
Raf
Yeah, removing the recovery from the zip is possibly an easier way. My comment was for anyone who didn't know how to remove the recovery, our didn't feel comfortable doing it, etc...
You are welcome

I apply any update like this, full updates you need to remove image file, and partial updates, you need to remove recovery folder. This way, you will keep your recovery and can flash su and other zips later.
cheers.

[Q] Cannot install any other .zip than original CyanogenMod

I had a friend help me with my CyanogenMod 10 install and everything was working fine. Now knowing how to get the boot.img and .zip installed, I thought I would try a few other ROMs as I see there is already a 4.2.2 (I had installed 4.1.2).
I did a wipe of data, cache, d.cache, system
I flashed new boot.img of CM 10.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343586)
I went into recovery to install the .zip and I got "E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-xxxxxx.zip (bad)"
I thought, okay **** it I'll just go back to 4.1.2 and it installs perfectly fine - gets me back into the phone. I even tried a different ROM from SlimBean or whatever and I get the same "(bad)"
What gives?
Seems like my SD card needed to be swapped out -- not sure why but works fine on a different card. I'll try formatting the other one..
Which recovery are you using? Btw make sure you are flashing the correct version of gapps right after flashing the rom zip
