I recently downloaded the newest CoG beta, placed it on my SD Card and selected reinstall packages. It says "Finding Update" and then "Opening Update" but then it gives a red error message telling me the installation was aborted. Am I doing something wrong?
flash with clockwork mod/rom manager.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
That means dont use the 3-button combo to enter recovery mode...?

Now updated and working!
Note: The recommended install method for fake-flash is now 'ROM Manager' on the Android Market.
Koush and I have been working on / stumbling through getting recovery running on a Legend without using a PC for devices rooted with a test image. The same technique also applies to the Desire... and after a lot of work and debugging... presenting...
fake-flash!
Fake-flash using a similar concept to the original root method, it launches a recovery image from the test image recovery, but instead of pushing the files from a PC, the files are extracted from an update.zip on the SD card. Here's how it works...
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
Neat eh?
DOWNLOAD
Just to caveat this initial release, we've yet to carry out extensive testing and you are constrained somewhat by the limitations of the stock kernel (e.g. no support for EXT4).
That's it for now... enjoy... i'll update this post as further advances are made. If you'd like to support Koush's work, consider buying 'ROM Manager Premium' from the Android Market.

i got saem errår Q.Q!
question
What does it really do excatly, i am a newbiee here. Sorry about that.
if your phone is rooted you can flash a new rom without connecting your phone to the computer
It works only on rom 1.22 i think...
you probably need a goldcard for that, so keep it in mind
still not working?
Thread disapeard on modaco :s
To someone this procedure works?
From that that I have understood it is not the FakeFlash of the Desire of the Legend?
And accordingly on the Legend it doesn't work (at least on my Device )
Would like us a FakeFlash I suit for the legend
I cannot make it work.
Just like other i receive this error:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
in the modaco topic (http://android.modaco.com/content/h...unching-recovery-on-your-device-without-a-pc/) is written in bold:
Note: The recommended install method for fake-flash is now 'ROM Manager' on the Android Market.
I tried but ROM Manager:
Clicked on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
it pops up a selection Menu with "Confirm Phone Model" (the only option is HTC Legend)
then it downloads the fake-flash recovery e returns me "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery".
When i try to reboot in recovery (trough ROM MANAGER options) i receive a blackscreen with a device in background and a question mark. After some seconds it restarts.
Help!
I have the same error.
Anybody asked Koush?
May he works on it?

Great!
Installed with "Rom Manager" from market and it works perfectly!
Thank you very much!!
Nice!!

Super!!!
Now I can change between my favorite ROMs without computer.
So I'm looking to root my Captivate i896 (rogers) using the RyanZA's One click lag fix. So the instructions say to enter the recover console, which I do.
The problem is that it says to pick the option "apply sdcard:update.zip", but when I am in the console, there is no such option.
The only options I have are: "reboot system now", "reinstall packages", "delete all user data" and "delete all cache data".
I have tried the reinstall packages option but I get a "E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted".
If anyone could shed some light on the situation that'd be great.

You need to install clockwork recovery first by the sound of it. Download ROM manager off the market, install clockwork recovery, reboot into clockwork recovery using the rom manager and you will see options to install zip files (I forget the exact wording). Once you're in that you will have the options apply sdcard:update.zip or choose a zip file from sdcard. Choose whatever you want and go from there.
I installed rom manager but it says i need root access
But after the installation in the recover console i have the same options
Hello first,
I wanted to yesterday, the new update of CM7 make up the v40 version.
Well but every time I get an error message when CWM, if I make a "Wipe Dalvik" do
Error message: "E: unknown volume for path (/ sd-ext) ".
and if I want to update the instalation, so on "choose from sdcard zip" then stands as an error message
Finding update package ...
Opening update pack ...
E: Can not open / sdcard/download/cm40.zip (bad) Installation aborted
I've really no idea which lies ahead. The updates before they all went without problems but now not any more why whatsoever.
Ignore the /sd-ext message, that's nothing.
My guess for the other error is that you just got a bad download.
I've downloaded twice and it came the same error. I've also tried to install the v39 and also did not work. And there is always the Android comes with a triangle where a !
Odd, that graphic sounds like the stock recovery, not Clockworkmod. What version are you using? I know 3.0.1.4 doesn't get on with CM7, but it should give an assert error, not that.
Okay the problem is removed. I've now downloaded the v41 and it worked. thanks again
do you have any idea how to back to optimus 2x official firmware?
clockworkmod, adb pull, or romdump

The voodoo plus has been running smoothly on my 2.3.3 before installing 2.3.4
After updating my firmware to 2.3.4, i installed voodoo plus and superuser again
Now it say that superuser is not available even though i have installed it
It also says module need to be loaded
I tried to update superuser but its says "An error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary."
What should i do now?
I would give it a try
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
how can i flash?
Press and hold volume up + home button + power button and reboot into recovery. Then choose 'install zip from sdcard' -> 'choose zip from sdcard' and look for the su-zipo.
It says signature not found once in recovery mode when i click su.zipo
oh no
when i try to update it says "verification signature not found"
help anyone pls
Exactly as the title says :S
I boot into recovery, then apply update from sd scard
choose the zip but get a msg saying:
"E:Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)
...then install aborts.
Whats the matter here?
I would assume flashing using recovery would be quite simple!
-Thanks
I still haven't solved this issue...anyone?
