I've been having a lot of trouble flashing new roms lately. None of evil's recent desire ports have worked for me as well as leo's froyo and a couple of others. Cyanogenmod and modaco's roms work fine. Are the roms not installing because i rooted my phone without unlocking the bootloader? Is that even relative to flashing roms? It's the only thing i can think of that might be prohibiting me from installing these roms. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
It's not related to unlocking the bootloader whatsoever. I believe it has to do with the recovery. What recovery are you using?
Ive been able to flash every rom out there. I have a locked bootloader. I am using Amon_ra recovery 1.7.0.1.
Yeah I'm also on Ra's recovery
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
i'm now getting the following error when trying to flash modaco's r21:
E:Can't chown/mod/mod /system/
(No such file or directory)
E:Failure at line 343:

Both in my sig.
how do i go about flashing the new radio and spl
Edoka, you can find that information in the rooting guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Which should be found there... be very careful and make sure the radio you want to update/flash are the correct ones you need.
okay i flashed the new radio and spl i can flash a new rom and make it boot yesssssssss........but it goes past the android animation but gets stuck on this htc logo and freezes lol left it alone for 5 mins and nothing

What rom were you on and which one are you trying to flash?
Most likely you just need a complete wipe (phone and ext partition).
still nothing i tried to install one call sensehero theme
grrrrrrr gonna do more research

Did you wipe before installing the rom?
Make sure you have "Haykuro SPL" and not the "Hard SPL"
Not sure but I think you also need to have a swap partition for anything Hero/Sense.
Did you install a ROM or just a theme? I ask because you called it "sensehero theme".
Hi Guys,
So here is my problem:
I updated my Captivate from Samsung to Froyo.
I rooted my with Super One Click.
I then downloaded ROM Manager from the Market.
Then used it to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery 2.5.1.2)
My problem is that when I boot into recovery mode, I click on reinstall packages and it gives me the following error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I am not running J16, my baseband says I896UXJL1.
I want to make sure that this works so that I can look into using other ROMs.
Thanks in advance.

i believe this is caused by recovery 3e when you tried to get into recovery using rom manager. it requires some kind of signature of the rom.
you need to copy update.zip to your sdcard root folder first and then shut down your phone and use the key combo to get into the recovery mode instead. you may need to apply the changes twice in the recovery mode.
another way to do that is by using android sdk.
I would first try moving update.zip to sdcard (check for updates first), then try using the 3 button to get to recovery and apply it. If that doesn't work, I'd say your probably on a bad recovery, and you should probably flash to stock (Eclair
) using Odin 1 click, available at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
You can also read there how to use it. I would flash to stock, then go to a proper 2.2 ROM that is widely supported (Perception, Phoenix). Good luck, don't brick your phone.
This makes sense but:
I already have an update.zip in my root folder of my internal SD. Is there something I'm missing here?
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?
I've rooted and unlocked my N1 and flashed it several times with custom Roms. I recently went from CM7 RC1 to a rooted stock 2.3.3, for which I had installed HBOOT. Now I am only able to perform a nandroid restore to change the roms and am unable to install CM7 RC2 or even to reinstall CM7 RC1 with which I was previously running. The error I see is:
Installing update . . . .
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="
one" || getprop("ro.buiE:unknown command [ld.product")]
E: Error in /sdcard/update.zio
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I've looked through Cyanogen and XDA forums but I haven't seen a direct response to this particular issue. I've tried Wiping and wiping the davlik cache, and I've flashed Clockwork recovery and RA recovery via rom manager. I've tried 4 separate roms and get the same error, and these are roms I was able to use previously.
Any help or even a push in the right direction would be very much appreciated, as I've essentially hit a wall. Please excuse the noobish picture of my N1 screen , I don't know how to take screen shots.
status 7 error
i have the same problem. solution plz
So this happened only after flashing the hboot right?
Did you try wipe/data factory from the recovery menu?
Looks like a problem in build.prop of the ROM currently on device.
Solution: check build.prop for the line that the installation scripts fails at, see what it's expecting and what's there, and change accordingly. You can do all that by ADB shell in recovery.

From the screen shot, i think you are trying to flash an NS ROM!! That's the reason it fails

I was on Darkys ROM for some months without any flashing problems. Now i wanted to change from Darkys ROM 10.1 (Gingerbread 2.3.4) to Galnet MIUI. I had to downgrade to Froyo and then install the CWM zip in CWM. This was NOT succesful. It always says "Installation aborted (Status 7)". Then i tried to install CyanogenMod 7.1. Upgraded to Gingerbread Stock with CWM 3 and when i first flashed it via ODIN the phone first booted in the standart Android CWM display (dont know the name sry). The phone automatically formated cache etc. but then it showed me 2 times "/efs is not mounted". I was able to boot and to open CWM but ALWAYS when i want to install ANY CWM ROM it shows me the message with Status 7 ...
EDIT: The message when i try to install a zip via CWM:
--INSTALLING: SDCARD: update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package

How can i mount /efs again and make CWM ROM Flashing able again?
Thank you.
I am not a dev, but I suggest you do a fresh ODIN flash to stock rom or this SIMPLY HONEY ( its got odin version & hence very easy to install ) rom.
I already flashed several (stock) roms... still not working
The first thing you every do before flashing a rom is a nandroid backup.... use this to recover...
I hope to hear oh thanks i didn't remember about that, lol. But i do not expect it...
Do you have any backups, of the /efs maybe? If you do then find out how to put that back on..
An option would be to use adb to try fix it, first try the obvious and try mount the ef, if that doesn't work then tell me what files you have in the efs... and we'll try help you from there.
If you don't know hoe to use adb there is a pinned thread in the general forum, and I have made a there is a basic tutorial in a number of places either search here or google
