this has nothing to do with awipe
make sure that if you're on windows rename it to update in the removable disk. go to console and do:
mount sdcard
ls sdcard
should say something with update, is it update.zip.zip or update.zip

try naming the file simply update w/no .zip sometimes windows will add an ext without you putting on the on the end of the file because it is already a zipped file. I had this problem the other day

Are u using Modaco's stock update zip or the stock passion image zip...
if ur using the passion image zip, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, pop it onto ur SD card, reboot into recovery and it'll ask u if u want to install it...
if ur using Modaco's stock update zip, check the md5 or re-download it and flash via Amon_RAs recovery...

[Q] HELP! :( Semi Bricked. Tried EVERYTHING

Ok
Please forgive me I have spent up to 7 hours today searching and trying but to no luck.
So I didnt realise what i was doing and Semi Bricked my Phone. I edited build.prop and saved it in MyExplorer(name?) to try and turn off the camera sounds and when I rebooted, it just gets stuck on the galaxy S 2 screen, boot loop.
I'm on SGSII (Australia) Stock Vodafone's ICS 4.0.3 Rooted.
I have CWM installed but tried a few things:
- I can get into Download MOde (no idea what to do here)
- I can get into CWM mode 5.0.2.7 Recovery mode but cant do anything still.
- I tried various Edify script builders to try and put the original build.prop back in but get multiple Status 0 errors whenever I try update.zip from the SD card.
- I tried rebuilding the backup on there and changing the build.prop file on there and trying to restore but MD5 check fails. Even tried rebuilding the MD5 file with the modified files and still no luck. MD5 files fails.
Would anyone have any suggestions and how to resolve this without a flash or wipe? I didnt back recent backup and will lose everything.
I am coming to a point where I really am wanting to back to Apple
There are 2 build.props attached. One is the bad one that stopped me from booting up and I found another one that was named .bak (extension taken off) I found in the same directory (/SYSTEM)
If anyone can help me build an update.zip to push in via CVM I would greatly be in your debt (I tried for 4 hours with no luck)

If you have recovery and download mode yet nothing is lost.
In first, do saved your apps ?
If you had saved them or if it doesn't matter to you, reflash a rom via recovery
LINK HERE:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2773/cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip
Flash it GoogleApps folder
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
The rom that I attached to the reply is a CM9 ICS version, it's quitly stable and we can have some settings on it.
If it doesn't work reflash with Odin (it's with software who use the Download Mode)
http://hotfile.com/dl/149514867/aea2f22/I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip.html
Instructions
-Unzip the Rom Folder ( I9100XXLPQ..........)
-Open the included Odin
-Put your phone on Download Mode
-Click PDA and select I9100_CODE_I9100XXKP*_CL*_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
-Click PHONE and select MODEM_I9100XX*_REV_02_CL*.tar.md5
-Click CSC and GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXA*.tar.md5
-Click Start and don't touch anything still the colored case become green
-And now your phone resurrects
Reply me of results

thanks for your reply
unfortunately i didnt save my apps and havent got backups of my data either
i cant reach the file via ADB either, when i run ADB (have KIES installed and worked before) - adb devices.
nothing shows up when the phone is stuck on "Samsung GS2" screen.
do you have any recommendations around keeping my data there?

If you find the exact same software your on now to download you could try flashing that in cwm without wipes I think that would work i think it replaces all system stuff so it will work, worth a try

understood thanks
what if i just want to flash build.prop via update.zip?
i tried so many methods but it always fails. is anyone able to create a update.zip for me?

i used a GUI script creator to try and update it via CWM recovery mode but it doesnt seem to like it.
If i turn off signature verification, it gives me a (status 0) error saying : E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
and if i turn on verification toggle, it says E: signature verification failed
can anyone help?

Can you mount any sd on your pc, because you can the recovery mount trick to access to your data.
When you are in the recovery menu, go to mount and storage and click on "mount usb storage" and the internal and external sd will appear on your pc.

you are posting in galaxy s thread....repost in galaxy s2 thread

I don't think so but then again I don't own a s2 but you can select advanced restore: restore data then flash a compatible ROM, then restore the data if you worried but as I said before flashing the same ROM shouldn't remove user data

[Q] Need help installing Rom.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S Plus | GT-I9001
Status: Rooted, and Working - Original OS.
Installed: ROM Manger.
Hardware: Internal SD Card - No external
Hi I'm new here, I have rooted my mobile about a year ago, but haven't done anything else to it, but now I want to install a custom ROM on it.
The ROM I want to to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251671
I have looked around for tutorials about installing a ROM, but every tutorial, says something different... I'm total noob to all this, and paranoid, I don't want to **** my mobile up.
I only have an internal SD card on my, read somewhere that it were possible to do it, if you had the latest version of Clock Work Mod.
Hope someone can guide me through wile doing this :/

N7100 is a Galaxy Note i think. The only thing you need to backup is a file explorer and root. Just backup your efs folder located in your main system directory. There should be a folder called efs. You can use ES File Explorer for that or nitrality.

Seems like something is messed up
Try this:
1. Flash a stock rom with Odin
2. Flash a root kernel for the stock rom
Now you should have everything working.

have you tried to flash cwm via Odin?

Re-Download the file it may have been corrupted
Then follow the guide again.. remember to follow word by word

Thank you, i will have a try.
But if i check the location of the file in my explorer at my pc, it is saved under internal and not under the second folder named "SD-Card"...
UPDATE> i tried to install it from sd external, but (what a surprise) it does not work. i will try to push it via adb to the device. But another question. Do i have to wipe anything else than dalvik and cache?
Thank you

i only installed it about 2 days ago perfectly so it isnt anything wrong with the ROM itself. It may be a bad download? Try to re-download it. Also try wiping cache, data and system? (Wont wipe the storage)

Thank you, DarkExistence . I don't think it is a bad download because I already tried it with the rom dated 25th of dec and 31st of dec. Also I checked the md5 sum after the transfer onto the smartphone. In which folder did you place the .zip File?
I am a little bit careful in wiping to much partitions, because if the installation fails after wiping the data Partition i'll have a problem.
