Hi folks.
Having some problems everytime I try to boot in recovery mode or try to install a ROM using ROM Manager.
when my phone boots into manual recovery mode, I eventually get this message.
E: can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted
I've made sure I have my update.zip in the root of my internal sd. In manual recovery mode, I even selected the "reinstall packages" option and it would execute just fine and then reboot my phone.
So I'm stuck scratching my head as to why I get the error message above and can't access the additional menu items in the manual recovery mode.
Help please as I am a noob to this hacking stuff.
THanks everyone!
after you reinstall packages and it reboots, do you select reinstall packages again? you should because it takes 2 times to get into clockworkmod

When I boot into manual recovery mode and select reinstall packages, the phone reboots and turns on...it doesn't go back to the <2e> recovery menu. Does that sound right?

There's your problem. Your new file should NOT be named update.zip. The update.zip package MUST be the one for CWM. Its this update.zip that is used when you choose reinstall package and then you get into 2e recovery mode.
Name your file something different so it won't interfere with the update.zip of CWM on your sd root.
If you deleted that CMW update.zip file just return in CMW and reinstall the Recovery. It will push the update.zip again.
Not sure I completely understand.
to give clearer picture, here is where my update.zip file is located.
/sdcard (folder)
within the /sdcard folder are the following:
/Android
/clockworkmod
/DCIM
/download
/layar
/media
/sd
/tmp
...and finally, my update.zip file
so I'm assuming the update.zip is in its proper location within the /sdcard folder
With the file there, I reboot into manual recover and select reinstall packages...it executes and the phone boots up and turns on. It doesn't return me to the manual recovery mode again and I'm assuming it is during the return to the manual recovery mode where I can access additional menu items such as install from SD.
So I'm assuming this update.zip file I have now is the one for CWM. Thoughts?
at what point did you FLASH clockwork recovery manager? are you sure that update.zip file thats on there isnt for something else like the root?
to be honest, at this point I'm not entirely sure. the update.zip could be for the root.
what do you mean by flash clockwork recovery manager...when I go into ROM Manager, under the Recovery heading I see the following options.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2)
Reboot into Recovery

Reboot into Recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-First delete every update.zip you have in /sdcard
-Return in ClockworkMod and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (yes it will reinstall the recovery, thus copying the right update.zip onto the /sdcard).
-Now rename your .zip you were trying to install (ie. my_new_file.zip)
-Copy it in /sdcard
-Reboot into Recovery and select Reinstall Package (if it goes directly into the recovery menu even better)
-Now you should be in the CWM Recovery.
-Select the "install zip from sdcard"
-Select your "my_new_file.zip" to flash it.
-Reboot in normal mode.
ok...so I went into ROM Manager application and tapped on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
A status bar displayed and it completed like in a second or 2. Then I went into my /sdcard directory and there is no update.zip file there. Doesn't seem like it is copying the update.zip file into the directory.
No biggy, just means the recovery is correctly installed.
Just follow the procedure and try it like it is and see if you get a error.
flashing clockwordmod recovery doesn't install an update.zip on your sd card (1 click roots do).
All flashing CWM recovery does is install clockwork recovery in place of standard recovery mode.
ok...so I've deleted the update.zip file from the /sdcard directory.
went into ROM Manager and clicked on Flash ClockworkMode Recovery
Rebooted my phone and got to the <2e> screen. I click on reinstall packages and now it gives me an error message that the update.zip cannot be found.
So then I used z4 root to unroot. I then rooted my phone again and found that it didn't place an update.zip in the /sdcard directory. So it appears without the update.zip in the /sdcard directory I cannot reinstall packages. But if I put the update.zip file back into the /sdcard directory, I can reinstall packages, but then I'm back to the same issue again....feels like a never ending loop.
ok...finally got things to work. Looks like I had the wrong update.zip file in my /sdcard.
I searched the forums and found the correct one that now allowed me to reinstall packages twice and take me to the full recovery menu.
for others that may need the update file, it is located here:

That was it!
Awesome, thanks! I had just returned my Captivate to AT&T for a replacement today, and I was pretty convinced the shysters had made it harder for me to re-root and mod my phone. Now, how do I wire you a beer?
If you downloaded with your phone right after rooting, make sure you delete the update from the general sd card folder and move the update from your download folder to the general sd card folder. I had flashed with odin and rom manager last night and i had to install it that way due to fact clockwork has been down.
I Have installed on MY I9000 the Darky's 9.2 Extreme edition.
Is there a way to reinstall it?
I would reinstall "write and Go" app.
I Have found the apk but when i try to install it by tap directly on apk file the system respond with "Application not installed"
Can anyone help me?
However, the Darky's 9.2 Extreme edition is fantastic.
go to www.romkitchen.org and select create update.zip select all the apps you want and then generate it and flash it thru CWM easy peasy lemon squeazy will take you less than 5 mins.
Thanks a lot . I have downloaded the generated file but the name is update-AiGIQJ8kLa.zip
I need to rename it in update.zip before flashing?
During the generation of update.zip in the rom kitchen site, if i chose "none" in the boot animation step when i flash remain the current boot animation?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have tryed to install the file generated for the site but i have a problem.
When i install the update vie CWM i read:
Finding update package
opening update pakage
installing update
Then the procedure reamain bloked with the the bar always gray.
I waited 10 minutes then I removed the battery and put back.
The Phone reboot without the new application.
Help me please.
Thanks. Thanks
when you go into recovery mode what does it say ??
does it say something like clockwork mod recovery or does it say something like 'android recovery system <3e>
you need to be on recovery 2e ( clockwork mod) to flash update.zip files.
oh and yes the boot animation will stay intact
I'm in the Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
not in 2E. This is the CWM that start automatically when i choose recovery from the reboot pane on the Darky's 9.2 system.
how do I start CWM 2e?
Thanks
Hello I found the solution using adb looking in the forums.
Adb I unmounted and remounted in r/w the partition /system /app.
Then I copied the application from the internal sd to /system/app
I used the following commands ....
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
cp sdcard/xxx.apk system/app
chmod 644 system/app/xxx.apk
where xxx is the name of application . In my case WriteandGo
Thanks

Thanks for reponse. But I mention that my phone cant connect to pc, I've tried it alot, I cant connect my phone to pc in download mode so I cant instant cwm. everything I can try is self root apk or flash a rooted rom with base stock recovery.
okk if u cant flash cwm then its quite troubling
if ur usb dosn't work why don't u rush to the service center they will solve this problem in say 15 to 20 mins... better go there and get it serviced ...

Well you can do that. I mean you can install CWM recovery without connecting your device via USB.
If you can download CWM recovery or Recovery menu directly on your device, follow these instructions.
Extract recovery.img file from downloaded zip file.
Keep it in sdcard's root directory. (/sdcard/recovery.img)
Now copy following commands and save it as Install_recovery.sh in your sdcard's root directory
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /sdcard/fih
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/fih/
cd /sdcard/fih/image/
mv /sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img ./recovery.img
cd /
umount /sdcard/fih
rm -r /sdcard/fih/
And use any script manager or Terminal emulator to run this file.
Using terminal emulator:
Code:
cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh
Now boot into recovery. You should boot into new recovery.
P.S. Similar How-To is also posted in a thread: Restoring stock recovery: (without Download mode). I have just modified it a bit.
Thanks! I'll give it a try. But does Script manager and terminal emulator is a apk that i can install and use to run the command saved in Install_recovery.sh?
So that I run terminal emulator apk and type
"cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh" ?
ok. I've tried but the emulator report errors. I think I must have rooted phone to install cwr with your solution. The error is
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ cd /sdcard/sh install_recovery.sh
cd: bad substitution
$ cd /sdcard/
$ sh install_recovery.sh
, Invalid argumentsdcard/fih
mount: No such file or directory
cd: can't cd to /sdcard/fih/image/
failed on '/sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img' - No such file or directory
cd: can't cd to /
failed.
rm failed for /sdcard/fih/, No such file or directory
$
So how do I get cwr on my phone to root it via cwr method?

dude ... do you have a memory card reader ...???
if u have a card reader then jst remove ur card from phone plug into pc copy all the files i.e cwm recovery update.zip and su.zip
[Installation Instructions]
[Using CWM recovery]
Copy CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zipin sdcard
Boot into recovery (Steps are given below for how-to-boot-into-recovery)
Use "install zip from sdcard" option
Locate and choose CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zip from sdcard for instllation
After installation reboot into recovery (advanced > Reboot recovery)
i suggest rename the .zip file to update.zip
and then follow rooting instruction
I mean that I've got a stock rom without root. So I havent CWM recovery installed on my phone.
My usb hub on my phone has broken and the phone waranty service not avainable in my country so I need a root solution without usb connecting.
As I know I need rooted phone first to install CWM recovery. Or I need a method to install CWM recovery by stock recovery.
I also try to flash back to 2.2 froyo version to root my phone by gingerbreak apk but not successed. When I try to flash any stock rom 2.2 or 2.3.4 the stock recovery allways report error and didnt worked. The error that stock recovery say is:
Enter lauch_image_update
Prepare failed rc= -209
PID doesnt match!
You cant download this nb0
Some error during preparing
So now I cant do anything with stock recovery only hardreset can done. No flash firmware.nb0 rom no update the update.zip
And when I try to flashing update.zip (CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed_2.zip I renamed it to update.zip) stock recovery say error that:
verifying update package
E:signature verification failed

There is still one option left.
You can create your own nb0 file (since thats the only option working), which has cwm recovery and rooted ROM.
Right now i am away from my work place so cant help you till next monday.

I have another android ( x10 mini pro) and I know that we can make a backup by stock recovery or cook a rom for flashing by stock recovery. But before public the rom the deverloper have to tested it because bootloop is the problem of flashing rom. So before flashing new rom we need do a hardreset and after flashing rom we also need a hard reset to solve boot looping problem.
because of brocken usb hub on my phone. I need tested before flashing. :'(
the test is:
1 make a nb0 file from a phone that working good.
2 try to flash nb0 by stock recovery to another phone to confirm that nb0 work good for all phone.
3 Note that some rom is working realy good for some phone but can make bootloop for another phone because of different keynell they are ussing or we dont make factory reset and do a wipe data and cache also get bootloop problem

Hi...
Are you sure that your phone has this usb problem? Not the usb cable?
I've an experienced with usb cable which has problem to connect, then I use blackberry usb data cable, then it works. My problem is the cable can't powered enough the phone to make data connection.
OR... you can flash Andro-ID RC1 first before other ROMs, which Andro-ID RC1 is the nb0 file (may be you can flashed it using stock recovery) and this RC1 is pre rooted and it has CWM recovery in it. Then you can use CWM to flash other zip based ROMs, including to update CWM it self to a newer version.
Hope it help....
Sorry if I missed understood of your problem! If you want to stay on WellCom 2.3.4 and rooted unwired, someone has to make update.zip with the su+superuser.apk and signed with appropriate key (FIH)

Thats a good option. I thought you have already tried it and received an error saying "### ID mismatch"
Anyway if you have not downloaded it yet, then I have one other option for you. I have created an nb0 file which contains only CWM recovery and nothing else.
This file will install Recovery menu v2 which includes both CWM and stock recovery and no system files/data files.
To install, download attached file to your device and extract firmware.nb0 file from it. (For zip file extraction, you can use ES_explorer).
And then install it using your stock recovery.
After installation system will boot in your current ROM. Reboot into recovery and you will find recovery menu instead of stock.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert in creating nb0 file. Here I have just deleted all unnecessary files from stock nb0 file and replaced recovery image with recovery menu's image. So far this works on my device. I have tried it installing when I am on stock ROM. (Though it was not necessary)
I am not to be held liable/responsible if you damage your phone by following / not following this post.

Hi All.
I'm coming from the coderom and looking at installing another rom.
I flashed cf-root kernel, and while I can access recovery, when I choose to install zip, It cannot find /sdcard to flash.
How can i solve this?

try to flash stock rom with ODIN tool
Use flash_image
Anyway without ROOT this won't happen.
Download CWM 5.0.2.6(best) for Galaxy Ace(S5830).
Extract it (the zip) using FX File Explorer
Copy the 'recovery.img' again to the root folder of your SD Card
SO:
Download 'Terminal Emulator' from Google Play Store
Open it.
Type what I have given below
Code:
su
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery.img recoveryonly
