[Q] Lost root, zip flash fail - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, recently performed a full wipe on my One, flashed latest Viper One RC1 rom and have lost root. I've downloaded and attempted to flash the supersu zip as instructed that's provided in the ROM thread, but TWRP gives me a failed message.
Am I doing something stupid here? :/
Thanks in advance.

Any ideas?

Which error?
Probably is a bad download of the zip.
Because the zip is working fine here

Thanks for the reply.
Downloaded it twice (can't provide link due to new user restriction, but it's linked to on page 1082 of the Viper One thread)
This is what I get in TWRP after attempted to install zip:-
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/UPDATE-Sup(etc...)
Failed.

Download this, and try.
Working fine here.

That was the link that I used.
However, for some reason, downloading it on my PC then transferring it over to my phone rather than downloading directly on the phone seems to have made all the difference and now it's happy. :good:
Any idea why that would matter?

I had the same issue. Dowloading with phone gives you a 5ko file instead of a 0.98Mo one...

Help flashing a rom

hi i am having trouble flashing a rom. when i try to flash a rom it says
E: no signatuere (1515files)
E: verification failed
PLZ HELPPP
anyone??????
Try wait more than 9 minutes before moaning about no replies.
Also give more information. Such as the ROM you're trying to install and what you've done previously. (e.g. have you flashed ROMS before? Unlocked your phone? blah blah)

yes i have unlocked and rooted my nexus one already and i have flashed the amon ra,s recovery image.
what rom should i install? because nothing is working. i tried the alpha 21 rom and cayanogen rom and the official nexus one rom. they did not work.
how are you installing them? did you check the md5 check sum to make sure the file isn't corrupt? are you unzipping or just placing the zip file directly into the root of your SD?
anyway, since you are having trouble doing it, i would recommend you download and install the app, RomManager from the market; this app will download and then install it for you
otherwise, i would just download the zip files (ROM) again and try it

i am not unzipping well one rom worked "nexdesire" and now i dont even have the market app so i cant get the Rom manager . and how do you check the md5 file?
to check md5 sum (which is provided by all the roms you download, they are usually right next to the download links), download and install this: HashTab
To check, you just need to right click on the file > properties > one of the tabs should say File Hashes and you just copy/paste the MD5 you got for the rom into the space provided and click compare; it they match, the file should be fine
whatcha developing??? lmfao

try flashing cm 5.0.6 again, after that flash the google-addon (in the cyanogenmod thread, first post is a link to the download section).
the google-addon will give you the market back.
also, read cm's instructions and follow step by step.

did you make sure that the file downloads were completed, and do you have both cm 5.0.6 and google-addon on SD card when you try to flash?

Using TWRP but can't Flash to stock

Hey guys, new to the forum but been lurking around and trying different roms, it's my first time using TWRP and I want to flash back to stock. It seems like every time I try to flash it's telling me it's failed.

I just did that and did a full wipe. It's still saying failed, I can't seem to find out what's the problem. Only having issue flashing to stock but everything else seems to be fine.
good luck with that. best thing I can suggest is try some different button combos. try a different order of operations some how. in twrp, full wipe, system reset, then reboot back into recovery, another wipe /reset and then flash. that's the extent of my knowledge. you said you redownloaded the stock files to flash...maybe find a different place to download it from, could have downloaded a bad file twice?
Are you using the one from the wiki? I just tried it with TWRP 2.5.0.0 and it worked fine.

Yeah that's where I downloaded the file and I'm also using TWRP v2.5.0.0
I don't really know how to take a screenshot in recovery but I'll type in what it says.

But the word Failed is written in Red underneath the Home icon.
Hope this helps. Also when I try to flash peach sunrise, it's also giving me the same problem! Is there an alternative way to flash2stock?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you for you time guys.
You are probably going to have to use Odin to flash stock. It is in the wiki.
If you do need it, I posted a copy of Odin for our phone in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307264
You should probably try to Odin flash TWRP first and see if that fixes it.

I've flashed using Odin before a while ago when my phone was bricked. I'll have to read this over again and give it a shot. I'll let you know if I need help, thank you so much for your time meek! I appreciate it, I'll let you know how it goes after flashing TWRP with Odin.
Reset your TWRP settings, also, try downloading with a different browser and try under linux. Some browsers and anti-virus have issues with android files and delete them without warning.
Thank you so much for your help guys! I got it to work by flashing using Odin. I'm having a little bit of an issue though, every time my phone dies it starts having problems with the external memory. Like for example, my phone dies and I try to open my camera it'll tell me "not enough space blah blah" and when I try to change the settings through the camera, it just force closes. Not only for the camera, also other apps that need external storage like waze. It won't let me use the GPS because there's no memory. Mind you, I have a 16gb sd card in the phone. Any fix for this situation?
Using AOIP Linaro ROM btw. I couldn't post at the original thread because of my low post count so I'm hoping I get some help here.
Thanks you guys for the help! I really appreciate it.

that error already stated issues from 'updater binary' that means something wrong with that updater scripts (meta-inf folder in that zip package). try consult wt rom delevoper or use previous meta- inf file if previously using the same rom

Bad idea .. don't turn off md5 check when flashing rom
if you have a corrupt download you can brick your phone.
the file your downloading may have been corrupted when the DEV uploaded it.. Do not force it to install till you get a good MD5 check

Their are programs to check your download called MD5 checker
you should check every file you download before installing it to your phone... Many post here are because of corrupt downloads that can be avoided by a simple 5 second check

Failed to install cyanogen cm-11-2014*-icong.zip . Busted my Phone.. Help Urgent!

Hi, I read lots of posts here in xda on how to install custom ROM on my HTC Salsa, lot of times i felt bad as the posts always required my phone to be S-OFF. I couldn't find a nice and easy solution for this.
However somewhere i read that it is not mandatory to have S-OFF and which is when i just started experimenting on my phone.
I did unlock the bootloader from HTC dev . But i still have S-on.
I downloaded some *i9500 custom ROM and copied it to my downloads folder in sdcard. Tried to install the zip from sdcard from my CWM Recovery and it failed always. But then i thought that it could be the problem with image which i downloaded as it is not supported. So then i found one more post for HTC Salsa and downloaded the image from the link given in there.
Here is the link of that post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745185
Here is the link from where i downloaded the zip : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/
Here is the image which i downladed : cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
After getting into CWM Recovery i tried to install the same and at first it looked that it is going to install but in some time i get some error like
set_metadata_recursive.... error STATUS 7. INSTALLATION ABORTED.
Then i thought i was doing to wrong and as per some post .. i formatted all the /boot /system /sdcard ....partitions listed in CWM.
Now my sdcard is completely formatted .
After i copy my image there and try to install the same :
I get :
--Installing: /sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E: Error in .sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I can't even reboot to my old ROM. .. Not sure if its lost completely. .. Need help urgently.
Please help me recover or reinstall any ROM just for my phone to come back to life again.
Please help
Please help!!!. I am not sure if my post will die here.

If your using the new icong_g CM11 then you require the installation of the new cwm 6 recovery. if you follow the guides correctly then you won't have any issues.
can i ask why you thought about trying a different model phones software on this? it would only cause some serious issues lol.
and to answer the question when u wipe and clean of any data then it will leave the original OS in place unless you flash another then its that one that replaces it

Actually when i tried to install the icong_g CM11 i think it tried to flash but the installation aborted with error 7 as i mentioned earlier and so my old ROM was washed away i guess.
Somewhere i again read i need CWM 5.0.3 and so i tried that as well. Still getting the error.
Where can i find CWM recovery 6 for HTC Salsa.?
What are the mount/unmount options should i follow. Like /system, /data. Should they be mounted or unmounted before installing the zip.
Please help me solve the problem.
Why i am failing to install the cm-11*icong all the time with error 0. Do i really need to upgrade my CWM recovery from 5.0.3 to 6 ?
Also please help he flash my phone with manual steps.
I am using Fedora 20 for using fastboot and adb.
Got the link to download the latest recovery image ..Its 6.0.5 from the below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=4865#downloads
Now i was able to install the custom ROM downloaded from here : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/

But the graphics seem too bad. Can we do anything about it?

bad idea will make the boot slower in TWRP and plus its runnning t-mobile lastest update so you should be good!
I hope you are confused. You can write the numbers of the md5 of the zip you uploaded on the first page, not adding one for twrp to check, but so that people can still use a checker before they try to install it and say you messed something up when it was just a bad download
