trying to update package, reboots, and tries again and again - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was trying to install CM9 to my GT-N7000 with flashing CWM onto it (using Abyss kernel) and now my phone hangs on the galaxy note logo.
If I try to get into recovery mode I always get these messages:
E: Invalid command argument
-- Installing package...
finding package...
opening package...
veryfying package...
installing package...
after that it reboots and it's stuck.
Whatever I do, trying to flash it again with stock gb rom; again flashing with abysskernel, different stock roms (gb and ics) it doesnt seem to help.
How can I get rid out of this endless loop ?
Is the phone bricked ? I can get to download-mode..
(fyi I use heimdall on debian)
Anyone any suggestions?
Help would be more than welcome!!
Regards
Peter

Need Help with cyanogen mod 4.1.999 update

I installed signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip.
When I go into android system recovery <2e> it says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I cannot flash any update.zip file.
It says
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

Installation aborted.
I want to install cm-recovery-1.4.img
Is this possible to do without root. (as I think it somehow was undone.)
I have adb and know how to use it but I cannot get it to find cm-recovery-1.4.img on my sd card.
Almost ready to turn tricks to get this fixed!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Not too helpful, but maybe..
I was having a hard time upgrading as well. But what finally worked for me was rolling back to the original RC29 nbh, rooting again, then installing the 1.4 recovery and going forward from there. I seem to always run into problems switching from one rom to another unless I go through the process starting with the Rc 29. Hope this is kinda helpful.
Thanks your right, it's the best way.
for me it worked.
installed the devphone thingy, than 4.1.999 and so on. no problem at all. dunno why it wont work for u

what recovery are you using now? i believe that cyan's recovery is the only one that properly flashes the update from htc..

[Q] Moto Droid won't instal OTA updates via recovery?

Okay, where do I begin? The PSfreedom was released for droid and a friend said I can use one of her old droids which was 2.1update1. So in my haste to flash this thing I used EasyRoot, got it rooted (of course made a nandroid backup at least), installed cyanogen 6 (made a backup of this using clockwork recovery), installed the wrong kernel, then was stuck at a loop screen. Well I kept trying and trying to boot it to Clockworkmod Recovery and nothing was working until about the time I gave up and set it down...and WHAM! Clockworkmod Reovery! So I went to nandroid, restore and clicked on my clockwork cyanogen backup. And thus I was stuck on an endless loop of the Droid eye and the Droid logo. I assumed something went wrong and tried booting into clockwork recovery to no avail. Then it finally let me into the normal recovery and I decided I should find a way to start from scratch. Now I wiped EVERYTHING and still I have the endless loop, PLUS it wont let me update to another official firmware via update.zip.
This is the error it gives me:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Phone.odex", "e619ca7905cd905cd9eeb429c96601b728667b30b94b7", "5d22b967c190356983966fa1f7901aeebdffaaaf")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Can anyone help me figure out what the bejeezus is wrong?
i would suggest u check to see if there is an option to "allow install of update.zip" and click on it before you do the update. i know sprecovery has it
if all else fails, flash the 2.1 sbf file and start over, its really easy

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery Replacement Issue

Hey guys,
I am trying to install Darky's latest ROM (for time instal) and I downloaded ROM Manager from the Market. I then got the update.zip file for Clockwork off the ROM Manager and put it on my sd card.
I have now booted the phone into recovery (3 button recovery) and when I click the apply the update.zip I get this message;
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Replacing stock recovery with ClockworkMod recovery...
Then it just sits there and does nothing for ages and ages.
I'm using 2.1 and have used z4root to permantely root the phone. Any solutions? Thanks in advance =)

Best Recovery Image for Hero at 691mhz or lower clock

I haven't been putting roms or recoveries on my cell phone for about 6-8 months now, I am still running a custom rom with 2.1 and sense. My phone does is not stable over 691 mhz, so since I have been gone for a while and I haven't kept up with the new recovery images, can you guys give me links to threads that have recovery images that run no faster than 691 mhz but support apps2sd ext4 and other newer options in the recovery. Thanks so much for all the help.
I am currently running a darch/toast recovery at 768 mhz, but am tired of how unstable it is because of my phone not liking to go above 691 mhz, otherwise I really like their recovery.
Or if someone knows how to tweak the darch/toast recovery to be 691 mhz, I would be quite happy, because I am quite content with the options their recovery has.
What rom are you running?
If your phone doesn't like to go above 691, like mine do this:
> Go to this thread
> Download update-jasonm-kernel-stable.zip
> Install that kernel.
I promise you your phone will run so much smoother with this kernel. The recovery doesn't really matter at this point. I had the same problem as you and then I installed this kernel and it really helped and solved my issues.
I am running NFX-Hero 2.2.1 with update1 (it has Sense UI and is Android 2.1) at the moment as the as the Rom goes.
So even though this kernel says in the title aospCMod, it should have no problems working with an android 2.1 sense rom? (Just want to make sure, it has been awhile since I have actively messed with my phone, just making sure nothing has changed in the meantime)
I installed jasonm's 691 kernel on my custom stock-based 2.1 ROM earlier today and I'm not having any problems as of yet.

Correct, just make sure you install it correctly and you'll be just fine.

Not necessarily the ideal solution, but you could try flashing a new recovery - I didn't have any problems with clockwork. My guess is that your recovery is older and doesn't support the newer Edify script used in the kernel.

You need to update your recovery image, it's outdated with the scripts used in the kernel.
That worked thank you
Flashed Clockwork 2.5.0.1 for now, I heard the new version was OCed, so I didn't want to deal with that for now, I just want it absolutely stable before I go to other new recoveries, roms, etc.
You're welcome, if you have any other problems let us know!

[Q]Won't let me flash kernal?

I'm going to into rom manager and downloading a kernal. (Tried many different ones) I download it and it boots into clockworkmod. It shows the motorola symbol then has a triangle with a yellow exclamtion point in it above the android guy. If i click the power button on the top it exits that and goes into reovery where it says:
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I checked the kernal, still the same.
I've tried this many times, all ending in the same way.
I tried flashing a different cwm, but it does the same thing.
I also tried downloading a kernal from the internet, and putting it on my sd card, then flashing that, but it fails.
I'm not sure what to do.
Any ideas?
-Justin
