[HELP] Wont install zips. After rooting and installing CM6

Hi everyone,
I just rooted yesterday and installed CM6.2. After trying that rom out for a little I didnt like a few things so I tried Aosp 2.2.1. The home button did not work when I tried that rom so being a noob and not knowing how to fix that I wiped and flashed back to CM6.2.
So settling in with CM6.2 I started adding a few things I added gapps and got the market all that good stuff. Then I went to add the Nexus boot screen . That worked fine. Now I went to upgrade the radio and I would get an error when flashing. So I tried Collins Battery Mod, and when flashing I would also get the same error. Something along the lines of error E:/sdcard/...... status (0) aborted. So I said well , Ill just try to start all over wipe everything and flash the newest Nightlies rom. Well I get the same error . So i tried the older version RC2..... same error. So I said to myself I should try Aosp 2.2.1. again to see if that works because it did before. Well what do you know I get the same error.
E:/sdcard/...... status (0) aborted
My recovery version is RA 1.5.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated guys . Im new to rooting and I dont like the themes that came with CM6.2 so I really want to be able to flash a theme to it, upgrade the radio and battery mod it.
Also CM6.2 did not come with any widgets?? Is that normal? I have no weather widgets, no clock widgets, nothing.
If I have to start all over thats fine because I never really got that far into customizing , but again , I cant because this error.

I'm guessing this is your problem. Try updating it to Darch's unofficial RA-> LINK
(the link goes to my dropbox because Darchs pocketdeveloper's site is down afaik and I don't know where it is on this site )
Download the "RA-Darchstar.img and put it on the root of your sdcard.
Boot up into your rom
Open up terminal emulator and enter the following:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-Darchstar.img
reboot
Hopefully this will do the trick

This let me flash the battery mod but after rebooting it would boot loop. So I just restored.
Then I tried flashing the newest nightlie and got my usual error aborted... nothing seems to be able to flash still

Are you wiping data/cache/dalvik before you flash a new rom?

[Q] Need help with ROM Manager

Ok so I'm new to flashing a ROM, and Im having a little problem with ROM Manager. Ive been trying to make a backup of my current ROM prior to flashing to a new ROM. However when I choose the option to backup current ROM it shows me the name of the backup and then reboots my device (Samsung Captivate) into recovery mode. Not really sure what it wants me to do there so I choose to reboot the device, I then check to see if it made the backup and nothing??? Im not sure what it is that Im doing wrong but Im sure I must be missing a step. The phone is rooted, running 2.2 other than that nothing else has been moded. If any of you can help me I would appreciate it, I just dont want to move forward with flashing a ROM before Ive backed up the current ROM. I have made a backup of all apps and data using Titanium.

When it goes into recovery, is it the ClockWorkMod recovery menu? Green text? If it isn't getting there you need to install it from ROM manager first or just install it off an update.zip file that is floating around XDA and other sites. Once that is setup, you can run the backup through ROM Manager. It should boot into a recovery mode and then start doing a lot of writing of files to your new backup directory.
Post back if you are still having problems.

I did select the option for flashing ClockWorkMod recovery and chose the Captivate as my device. It did say that it sucessfully downloaded the file and Im assuming that it meant it installed it. And to answer your question I think I can safely say that no its not clockwork recovery when it reboots as it does say at the top of the screen "Android Recovery" so Im pretty sure that ClockWork is not installed. But I will look for that update.zip file and try to install it that way...

I'm sorry, you are looking for recovery-update.zip. I would try to run the ROM Manager install again and see what happens. I haven't had to play with the Android Recovery in quite some time but if the recovery-update.zip file is in the root of your sd card, you should be able to install it through the Android recovery. I'll keep looking. If I can find the file on my phone, i'll post it. Good luck.

If this is your first time booting into CWM recovery it will go to the base recovery first. Then you need to "reinstall packages". That will replace the recovery file with the CWM recovery file and return to the main menu. Then choose reintall packages one more time and it should bring you to CWM recovery instead of the base one. From then on it should bring you directly to the CWM recovery.
As for the backup it's done from CWM recovery. So once you get thru the steps above you will see backup and restore options on the recovery menu and you can go thru that process.

First try to flash it again through ROM Manager.

That update.zip should have been placed there by ROM Manager. Possibly try uninstalling & reinstalling ROM manager. Else, that update.zip should be somewhere. I'd grab the one off my phone but I'm not entirely sure which one it is. My ROM already had CWM with it. I'll try to look for a correct update.zip but I'm at work so I'm not going through XDA all day.

You're right, I did miss that. Haven't had to do anything with 3e recovery before. Xanaki, are you on Rogers with their official 2.2 or the leaked AT&T 2.2?

I missed it too. The above post regarding 3e recovery is what you need to do, one of the phones I have I need to do the same process after flashing back to stock. Sorry for the confusion.

Been having a similar issue when it takes you to stock recovery, I hold down both volume buttons and power until I see AT&T let go of power it usually takes me to clockwork recovery menu, I then select whatever I want to do backup, recover, or install from sd.
I don't know why it started doing that but that's what I found works. Hope it helps.

Im on the leaked AT&T version of 2.2 not Rogers. I haven't had the chance yet to try the recovery method mentioned but I plan on doing so today, I will update as to if this works or not. Also I did read somewhere that flashing a new Kernal might resolve this issue, I do have SGS Kernal Flasher but I dont have another Kernal to flash to...

you are still on stock recovery,
i assume ROM manager will of created update.zip so what you need to do is select : apply sdcard:update.zip
you may need to do this 2-3 times before automatically going into CWM (you will notice the difference)

How to out from stock? Or how to fix and getting options like backup/restore .?
I changed the rom name to update.zip but also doesnt work.
Thanks.

arrrr....... im sorry i misread your post.
you dont have CWM at all. either try ROM manager again. or flash CF-Root / kernel thru Odin, that will give you 2e / CWM recovery which will allow you to flash the ROM.
You CANNOT flash ROMS with 3e (stock) android recovery

you can only install CWM via this method if your recovery is version 2e (or something like that)
if you want to be sure check your rom version and find a hacked kernel (speedmod or voodoo) with CWM and install it using the PDA box in odin nothing else (no pit, no modem etc) and make sure repartition is unchecked. I found this worked when others methods failed.

Yes its 2e
There is any method without odin?
Because iam.using linux.

I was having a few dramas getting CWM Recovery to run on the stock JVB Ginger ROM. I put in the CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS flash with Odin 1.3 a few times, but couldn't get my device to boot into it with 'three-buttons'. I then went into Settings/Applications/Development, turned USB debugging to ON, restarted the phone with 'three-buttons' and voila, away we went...

[Q] Fail to installing clockworkmod recovery

I've used the full update guide for capitivate to update my phone running on the 2.3.3 version.
I've tried to install clockworkmod recovery through Hemidall, but I cannot load the file correctly in the last step: "Use the dialogue that appears to navigate to, and select, the Heimdall firmware package that you wish to flash."
Then i've been looking around for other solutions. I've tried to boot it through the recovery mode manually installing the clockwork through the zip mode. But doing this just gives this notice: "signature nortification failed"
I've also tried to downloaded rom manger from market and to flash it from there. But i cannot find the capitivate in the options. Therefore I chosed to use the one for Galaxy S. But when i'm trying to install the rom later through the recovery mode in clockwork it gives me the same message "signature nortification failed"
I've been looking for information all over google and different forums, but i cannot find anything.
Please help me solving this!

Thanks! I´ve seen this guide before, but is it working if i want to install android 4.0 as well, when i´m running my current 2.3.3? I thought this guide was just for installing the 2.3.3.
Edit:
I tried the guide and it worked! I had to reset it as well to wipe cache though! So many hours for figuring this out. Thanks for helping me out!

[SOLVED][Q][i9000] BootLoop problem after installing CWM

EDIT: Problem solved!
Hi all,
I just tried to install CWM Recovery on a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000, and it didn't work.
The phone was (originally) running under Android Froyo (2.2), and unrooted. First of all, I used UnlockRoot to root it, and it worked fine. I checked the root access right after using dedicated apps (rootChecker, sdMaid, etc), to confirm.
Then I wanted to install a ClockWorkMod recovery. I followed this guide (on the CyanogenMod wiki). I downloaded and installed Kies to have the USB drivers installed. Then I downloaded Heimdall (my computer is running under Windows 7) + hardcore CMW Kernel. I booted into download mode, then installed the driver. (Step 2 on the tutorial). Then next step was flashing the kernel. It suceeded, and the phone powered off. Turning it on, it just starts to make endless boot loops. The system won't start running, and it is not possible to access to the CWM recovery menu. But the download mode is still available.
So, does anyone have pointers to help me fix this issue ? i would like to have CMW installed, and then install a custom ROM (the latest Jelly Bean based Cyanogenmod release).
Thanks in advance.

Just try again installing stock Rom with odin

Hi Donovan,
Thanks for the swift answer. And yes, it definitely worked. I downloaded this stock rom, and I flashed it successfully with Odin v3 1.85. I am running now under Android 2.3.6, but I lost the root access. Rooting it won't be a problem, hopefully. I still have access to the download mode, and to the stock recovery. I'll try once again to dive into the ClockWorkMod Recovery, and then install a Jelly Bean rom.
I'm hitting the thanks button right after posting this.

Thanks back at ya. Cf root you can find here

Dont forget the wiping before flashing jb.
Most times u have 2 flash custom twice.
If first time hangs just pull battery out, get in recovery & flash second time or third if its needed.
If it says install completed then its done
Much pleasure flashing the i9000

Actually, I spoke to fast, the problem just got much worse.
Okay, just after flashing the stock rom (2.3.6), everything was fine. Then I downloaded the latest stable CM10 (direct link).
I booted into recovery mode (CWM Recovery,actually) and I did try to install (i din't not forget wiping data/cache, dalvik and batt stats), but it failed, saying the package was incorrect. I tried many times, copying again and again the zip file, same problem.
Then I downloaded a previous version, CM9. I tried to installed it, and i run into a very weird error, saying an assertion failed when trying to install the package.
Something like;
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "galaxys" ... getprop ("ro.build.device") = GT-I9000 etc...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then installation program aborts (error code 7.)
My assumption, is that it looks like my phone is no longer being considered by a samsung gt i9000, according to the installer. Weird, though...
Now, I still have access to the recovery. But the phone can't boot, as everything was wiped. Much worse, I can switch to download mode, but i can't flash back the stock rom, Odin can't detect the phone (I tried with Odin v3 1.82, 1.83 and 1.87).
I'm getting desperate, any pointers ?
Thanks in advance!

Did u try to flash the custom more then 1 time?

Oh yes, I did it like a dozen of times.And I still get the same error.

gti9000 rooting
Hi Donovan, could you help me please:fingers-crossed:
I've purchased a unlocked galaxy s gti9000 and I want to root it. Something I've never done on any phone as I'm a complete noob. I managed to install XWJW1 FIRMWARE. I've now got as follows PDA:I9000XWJW6
PHONE: I9000XWJW1
CSC: I9000XSAJV8.
All the links to the file for rooting seem to be dead. I've found some for rooting XXJVU, But that's not right is it? I would really like to try ICS or Jelly Bean. I must admit I'm nervous about this as it's taken me a while to get a phone as good as this one!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Thanks Roland will give it a try tonight.

Well, that is now solved. I tried something silly that ended up working fine.
As the cm9-smtd update package couldn't run (because of the assertion fail), I just opened the zip package, then edited the file META-INF/com/android/google/updater-script.
I basically removed the assert statement at the top of the file.
CMW recovery installed it properly, without any err. I now have an ICS based rom (Cyanogen Mod 9).
Problem definitely solved now. Going to make a Nandroid backup.
Thanks all, again.
