helllo i have a samsung galaxy s. i downloaded CWM and used it before and it ran fine did a backup. then i decided to do a full factory reset of the phone including formatting the SD card. the phone is still rooted.
anyway with a clean phone i reinstalled CWM premium and try and backup my rom to get a clean backup done as i want to be able to go back to the original rom supplied by my carrier (optus) once i have played with froyo.
now the issue is the phone reboots and then the following errors happen
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Cant open /cache/update/zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
does anyone know what to do, i have tried to do all the things as requested by CWM when i reboot, ie recovery mode is broken.
have enabled erase recovery = cant find this option
clearing the download cache =done no change
i reinstalled the program and have hard reset it again too.
Hi
if i understood correctly you formatted the internal memory of your phone. Well if thats the case, then unfortunately you deleted the ROM backup that you made on the internal memory (unless before formatting you copied the folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ (the rom back up folder) to your Computer) and also you deleted the clockwork recovery file. So now you need to install CWM from the scratch. and get yourself a stock (optus) rom backed up by someone the same method. i remember i have seen it somewhere here in the forum just search for it.
good luck
sorry what i mean is that i reset my phone to the factory default to get a backup of the stock optus firmware. and am having issues doing this backup. as it wont boot into recovery properly.
ok fixed it... not sure why as this does not make sense. but i went back to the internal sd card memory backup i had done and copied the recovery-update.zip and download folders back to the phone... went into CWM and then tried to do another backup and it works... maybe a bug during re-installation???
Well, glad to hear your problem is solved.
cheers

I tried a long various way, no success and now i can't use my loved nexus.
Everything was working very fine till i used my nexus' sd to flash a rom in a friend's nexus ( his was not working): here started the problem.
After re-putting on my sd on my n1, i lost all data, settings, no apps, no market, no adw..
-Tried to reflash the rom(kang 1.3 which was working perfectly till before): still no market, no adw, stock look, no apps (included in the rom)
-Tried to wipe all data/factory reset, reflash the rom: still no market, no adw, stock look, no apps (included in the rom)
Then i reached to install the 2.3.6 stock rom, which was working: i rooted it with superoneclick, installed rom manager
First i tried to backup with clockwork recovery but it stopped on backing up sd/ext: i had to remove battery and reboot, install ra recovery to have a success in backing up ( in recovery's opinion).
At this point i tried to reflash the rom, but i got stuck on the starting animation which is in loop..
I tried to nandroid restore from ra recovery but it said "Oooops something went wrong"
don't know how to solve, can you please help me? i can't use the phone! (recovery seems to work, have drivers correctly installed)
Ok my guess it's your SD card that has a problem so try making a full wipe (erase on) of your SD card and see what happens.

I'm re-flashing the passimg of stock 2.3.6 which yesterday was working.
again i noticed some problems on boot animation, but it moved on and it seems to works..
should i partition again my sd? Because it works on my pc ( in this way i put into the sd the passimg.zip, so it shouldn't be broken) and i guess maybe it's because of that..
A re partition would be a good idea.
When my sd-ext got corrupt the fat32 portion was fine but ext portion was busted
repartioned sd, still get the problem wtf..
http://pastebin.com/igvgPHSN here is the boot log, hope this'll help you..
thanks!!
I would format card outside phone with sdformatter--I use v2.0? Full Erase and Size Adj ON. Then repartition and swap is 0.
i first tried this:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/38/problems2.png/
and then this:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/problems3a.png/
but it didn't solve the problem.
Then i did a full wipe and it worked, i reached to install the rom, BUT missing some pre-installed apps (like adw, facebook, android stock keyboard etc., but with market, gapps et.)
i put this apps on my own and now it's working, but still miss something like the link to "power off", "reboot" , "recovery" etc.
what is going on?
I downloaded the HydracoreNirvana kernel and installed it through CWM.
Later I thought of installing the Ultimate N7000 XXLSZ JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.2 ROM but I read somewhere that the HydraCoreNirvana kernel was not supported so I download SpeedMod K5-1 and flashed it through odin. The phone Rebooted but it didn't restart. It only showed the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen and won't turn on.
I managed to boot into recovery and install the SpeedMod kernel and then, as stated in the ROM's OP, I flashed it checking every step as I took.
ROM was installed successfully but after the Language selection screen it shows "Samsung SetupWizard has stopped". I tried reflashing the ROM but its still the same error.
How do I get past this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
boot into recovery... mounts and storage> format - system, data, cache and preload and install the rom again

Okayy. That worked. Thanks a lot!
But the phone is lagging a lot now. Its even worse than before (And I haven't even installed any apps myself yet!). Any way to correct that problem?
install Titanium Backup and remove some of the apps that you dont use.. clear some space and it should become smooth.. also as you have just installed the rom, wait for media scanner to finish... give it a couple of hours
Okay.. One last question, I backed up my Messages and Call Logs through Titanium Backup to an .xml file but now when I want to restore it it doesn't give me the option to select from card/phone. It only shows "DB text editor" and "Dropbox". How do I fix this?
check if your internal and ext SD is detected properly. also check in TB preferences for the location of the backup folder
Yes, the Ext. card and the SD card are detected properly. I copied the backed up .xml files to the existing back up folder for TB but it still doesn't give me the option to restore from the card.
did you try going to preferences>backup folder location> detect
It says "No backup location was found" even though I've set a backup location!
may be try reinstalling TB
I was using CM10.1 RC1 by bieltv.3. After he updated the the rom to RC2 I flashed it today after taking a back up.
I then restored the apps I used to have on my SD card, rebooted and moved to SD. Then I restored the remaining apps (twitter, swiftkey etc). The phone froze when i tried to set un check the notification for swiftkey. I waited for sometime and removed the battery.
On restart it loaded until my lock screen. I was waiting for dash clock to load but it didn't only to find out my phone had frozen again. Tried this twice without any success. So i reflashed the ROM after wiping cache/ data/ system/ dalvik cache. It now got stuck on the screen where i select the language.
I then decided to restore the backup taken from CWM 5.2.0.6. While restoring .android_secure it failed.
When i tried to wipe data it got stuck while wiping .android_secure.
Then I reflashed CWM and then wiped again. This time the wipe worked.
Then i tried flashing the RC1 that I had been running all this time. It too got stuck on the language selection screen.
Wiped everything again and now I'm trying to restore the CM10.1 Backup again. Currenly it's been waiting on restoring .android_secure for the last 15 mins. Not really sure what to do.
I'm currently out of ideas. Need help
Update: I tried to do an advanced restore and only restored the boot and system but it still gets stuck and then reboots/ or just stays stuck. it does unfreeze for a few seconds some times but then freezes again :/
after I wipe the dalvik cache if i select show log i get
failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (no such file or directory)
...
...
...
....
After reading about it I have come to the conclusion that my Internal SD partition is corrupt / damage since I can't mount SD-EXT
Am I correct?

Did you try to fash a Stock via Odin, then flash root + cwn 5.0.2.6. fix and finally flash CM10.1 again and restore your back up?
I think your partitions are corrupted... Were you using sd-ext scripts? as int2ext? wel try with the first method

I wasn't using any scripts.
I used odin and flashed the stock rom. Phone starts up goes to unlock screen and all looks fine. after about 1 min the phone starts to lag very very badly until it stops responding and then shuts down completely.
Didn't root or flash cwm still.
Maybe the files got corrupted somehow. Try downloading the ROM again and use another SD card.
That might fix it.
Good luck.

I forgot to mention i did wipe data and cache after flashing via odin. So that didn't help
Edit- ok I noticed my sd card wasn't being detected so I removed it and rebooted and everything seems to be fine :/
Can a faulty sd card slow down/ make your phone become unresponsive?

Final Update:
The whole thing was caused by my SD card. I should have checked how the phone responds to with the SD card removed.
I'm suspecting it must have happened while using Titanium backup. Good thing I managed to get most of the titanium back up files copied to my PC so I can restore them later.
Things I overlooked: the phone only locked up a few seconds after it starts (i.e. gets to the lock screen). That's when the phone detects the SD card.
I need to figure out how to format the card now since I don't have another method to connect to the PC and the phone isn't detecting the card.
Thanks for all the help.
Is it detecting the card in CWM? If so, you could format it that way.
I got a miniSD card adapter with my phone? Did you not?

so your Sd card was corrupted, use a micro sd reader
Managed to format the SD by mounting USB using CWM.
CWM refused to format saying the card was read only. but the pc did a quick format

Hi all, this is my first post on XDA. I'm having big troubles with my device, a Samsung Galaxy S Plus i 9001 and I'm looking for some advice.
After a clean installation of the rom i had been using for some time I started to get messages of force close for most of the apps installed at every boot. The ROM in question is SmoothieICS v2. I believe that the reason of this issue is the fact that I restored all the apps and the data with Titanium backup. To solve the problem I tried to restore a nandroid backup via CWM (version 6.0.1.0), but when a rebooted, the backup was not installed at all and the force close messages continued. After that I tried to wipe data and cache, reinstall the ROM via CWM and Odin, install the stock ROM, fix permissions, format the partition, but nothing worked. Every time I reboot the device, the old ROM boot up with the same force close messages.
I've read several posts on XDA with similar issues, but usually a clean reinstall worked fine. At the moment I'm out of option.
Find attache a copy of the logcat recorded after rebooting the device.
Any suggestion to save my phone is really appreciated.
Thnaks in advance.
Some tips here:
1: Flash BroodROM RC5 (this is an Gingerbread ROM with all the partitions of our device) via odin
2: flash CWM 5.5.0.4 (this is in my eyes the most stable recovery) and wipe all (system, data, cache,dalvic etc)

First solution,
SmoothieICS is an outdated ROM. Currently there are more stable and bug free releases are available for our device. You can try that.
But, the choice is yours, if you want to continue with it,
Access download mode, install a stable and safe recoveries like CWM 5.5.04, TWRP 2.2.1, or CWM 6.0.3.2 via odin or you can try to flash it via current recovery.
Then do a full data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. If necessary, delete the partition and do a full format
Restore the nandroid backup or do a fresh install
Edit: @mrjraider Haven't seen your reply. Silly me, repeated the same thing you said..

Thank you both, but your solutions didn't work. After installing BroodROM via Odin my phone rebooted in SmoothieICS just like nothing happened. Also a new recovery can't be installed, Tried with TWRP and CWM with no luck :crying:

That's strange. How is it possible to show up again after deleting and formatting the partition completely.. Are you sure you formatted the data and system in mounts and storage menu of cwm recovery.?
Anyway, Remove your external sd card, and try all the methods again..
Tried again. Did the following:
- removed the external sd card
- rebooted in recovery
- format system and data
- installed CWM 5.5.0.4
- rebooted in recovery
The recovery version installed is still the 6.0.1.0!!!!
It is like the internal SD card can't be written any more.
One thing I maybe didn't mention is that if I delete a file in the internal SD card and the reboot, the file is still there. it is not deleted.
This is really frustrating.

I recognize those symptoms. The i/o of the sdcard is defect.
What happens is that when you want to format random 0 and 1 are being written to remove the data on the card. If your card is broken and cant be written to you will be unable to format or flash anything. And thus the data on the card remains.

Does this mean that the only way to solve the issue is to replace the internal SD card?
Same Issue, but with SGS GT-I9000
I have pretty much the same problem!
Ive been reading a lot and it really seems to be a problem of the internal SD card!
I tried many times to delete all the files on the internal SD card via USB and via Recovery Mode, installed different OS ...nothing worked and most of my apps crash the whole time, so force close to all!
Im now about to decide to use my external SD as internal!
What do you say?
Any ideas
Thanks
I had some huge problem with my Nexus One and I wanted to start over completely, so I stupidly went to CWM recovery and hit format boot, cache, data, sdcard, system, and sd-ext. For some reason I didn't realize this would make my phone unusable and make it have no OS. So now when I turn on the phone it goes straight to the fastboot menu, so I can only access the fastboot, bootloader, and CWM recovery.
I've tried formatting my microSD card and putting a stock PASSIMG.zip file (located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312540) on my microSD card but the bootloader doesn't detect the PASSIMG.zip file.
Can anyone give any guidance on what I can do now?
Thanks
FIXED. This seems to happen to me so often-- things suddenly working after I already make a thread about my problems. But I discovered that the microSD card was corrupt so that's why it never actually had the PASSIMG.zip file on it. Everything is back to normal, and I restored factory settings :good:
