i have a question and maybe someone can help me out.
I really like myhero 2.0.5 but didn't like some of the programs such as plurk, twitter, peep and other programs i never use.
problem is i could never uninstall them.
so i removed the apps i didn't need and resigned them using a signing tool i found. got it all signed and put on my sd card.
when i tried to load the rom it gave me an error after tring to verify the file.
says something like "error update script"
i am using RA-magic-v1.3.2 recovery img. to load the rom as i always do.
any help would be awesome.
thank you

I am a complete newbie. I tried to update to the ADP1.1, but it error'd out on the boot image. The phone now shows a triangle with and exclamation point and a graphic of a phone. I got advice on another community to try and install update.zip from the sd card. I downloaded the original ADP1 update.zip, and I tried to install. Here is what I got:
Installing from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
installing update
copying files
copying files
formatting BOOT
writing BOOT
E:No space left on device
E:Error writing BOOT
E:Failure at line 8
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img
BOOT
Installation aborted
Thoughts on where to go from here?
No thoughts? Is it now a paperweight?
Please post information regarding your device (brand, model, carrier, OS, etc, etc) That way, we might be able to help you.
I have the Android Dev Phone
Carrier: AT&T
It had the original version ADP1
Tried to update to ADP1.1, but it error'd on the Boot.img portion
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks.

You probably needed to wipe it before flashing it. For the fix, listen to the experts. [here]
I am more than happy to listen to the experts. Any of them have an idea of what to do next?
Any thoughts?

Yeah, I do actually. I noticed a thread with the same topic somewhere else and its active. Check this thread out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475244. Leme know if it does not help. Mail me direct if you wish.

I am not sure this helps. The problem I am having is that once I start the update it stall out when trying to write the boot portion saying the phone is out of space. I have wiped the data/cache, but to no avail. Has anyone seen this before?
Mark. I am not ignoring you, I just don't have net access where I live, so unless I get out and come to my favorite parking lot, I can not email. No I have never heard of it either. Some one here should be able to help. I am NOT an expert, but if you want to hear my only idea here it is. Go way back and start by flashing the old rc29 bios on the phone. Then follow the directions to give yourself root access (i know you do not need to do this with a Developer phone), then flash the Jesus Freke's Android developer bios 1.0 then the 1.1. Try and contact Jesus Freke directly. I wish I could help more, but I am really new at this, and with out having your phone to play with, I doubt I could come up with a fix for you.
Is there anyone that can help with this?
Here is the error message I am getting when I try and install the update.zip from the sd card
E:No space left on device

I have wiped the data, but to no avail. I would really like to get this resolved so I can go back to using my phone. If not, I am more than happy to sell this at a good discount.

Anyone able to help with Root ? I picked up a link in a HTC thread on Whirlpool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
got as far as S Off (Security Off), Updated Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.4, Now I am stuck on To permanently root your Sensation part 3. When trying to update: When I go to flash clock work/Revolutionary it says: (bad) Can't open Install aborted, though that said some users are having this error and the root is still successful according to XDA however for me I got Root check off the Market and it returns a failed result on Basic and some times a pass on Advanced but some times not. Busybox,Super user,Titanium back up are all saying I'm not rooted to don't have Root permissions.
Have a look at the link below it contains 4 photos of my sensations screen as I went through the process it will no doubt give you a better idea of my problem. It's a link to my blog BTW. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a member of XDA so thought I would try my luck here before having to create yet another account somewhere Thank You.
Best look at the photos from bottom to top as they uploaded back to front, order of process is bottom to top.

So did you download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1311991644 file and flashed it via recovery?
I have S-OFF and I flashed that file I have full root. I then used ROM Manager to flash clockworkmod (CWM) because ROM Manager doesn't see the recovery that came with the S-OFF.
I just backed up my Telstra ROM. It just finished a minute ago.
Yes I did flash that via Recovery inc. the old su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip AND the new su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.version I've tried the other couple of suggested methods on that link I posted and nothing seems to be working. Sadly can't see were I have gone wrong.
Here is a link to another two photos with the error message I am getting.

Did you install ROM Manager? I installed ROM Manager and used that to flash CWM and all is working fine here.
EDIT:
My bad. You did say you can't get full root. Don't really know why it won't work for you. Mine worked first go.

Yeah I have Rom manager but I can't do anything with it everything returns an error.

I just figured that out, my bad. I understand that rooting doesn't stick.
Phenomenal MATT
Sounds like you were one of the lucky ones cause if you read the comments after the steps many people are have minor issues. I'm ashamed to say I've being at it all day VERY FRUSTRATING !!!
Yes I put the ZIP file into 'The Root' of the SD card (Main section of SD Card) and yes in recovery I can see that zip file but when I click open it says:
Can't open /sdcrd/su2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I've tried over 30 times same thing every single time. HEADACHES !!! lol
Sooo looking forward to a solution. I might have to creat a XDA account and post it in the questions section there, looks as though questions are getting answered pretty quick (Good support) ...WITH ALL THAT SAID IF ANYONE HERE CAN HELP I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL.

You've probably already tried this, but if not, have you downloaded the su zip again? could it be corrupt?
EDIT: I am really new to Android. Got my phone the day it came to Telstra. You are probably better off on the XDA forums.
Phenomenal MATT
I signed up for XDA but they expect you to make 10 posts elsewhere on their forum before allowing you to comment on the Sensation Dev. one (The comments under the instructions in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
Yeah I downloaded it on PC, Mac, Mac with Boot camp, Zipped, un Zipped and even tried the old Zip file it says to try in trouble shouting section then followed buy the new Zip file.
Awwwww Well Patients a vertue ... Hopefully it's all worth it.
Seems like the guy already gave you your answer. Just download the zip again. You probably have a corrupted download. And make sure that signature verification is off in recovery. Should work.
I've downloaded over 30 times on 3 different computers + straight to Sensation as a hard Disk tried Zipped, unzipped you name it... PC - Mac Normal sd card, Micro SD card... & Also like to add Sign. verify is off too tried it on and off, I a award the file needs to be zipped and that needs to be off just trying everything here pulling my hair out.
Do You go CWM > Advance . backup ur Rom ?
I'm using rev. And I go to backup and restore click on back up after its complete 10 minutes later I go and try to get the zipped file but it fails every time.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using XDA App
Finally got it to work. I had to download it from the net with my phone to download folder as opposed to with a pc then moving it to main root folder on SD card. Question is now what ? I want to over clock but I want to keep sense. Do all Roms remove sense ? Leedroid ? What else is recommended now I'm rooted. Btw thanks again everyone for your help.

Thanks Matt
Thanks for posting this, Phenomenal Matt. I had the EXACT same problem that you posted about. Copying the su zip file to my phone's sdcard while the phone was mounted as a drive did not work at all. I had to download the su zip file on my phone before Clockwork Recovery was able to successfully install it and give me root.
I get the following error when attempting to install GingerBreak :
Parse Error : There is a problem parsing the package
my phone is Sony Ericsson Neo ,, i'm trying to root it
HELP ! :S
same problem. can't install Gingerbreak.apk
anyone?
Redownload it again.
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
I have the same problem with the latest market updates, or any (market updates) for that matter! No matter where I download them from, it's always the same parsing error. This includes trying to install from SD or USB.
I have downloaded literally at least 30x 3.4.4 market APK's for various sources, every single one of them give parse errors, yet I can download any other APK from those same sources and install via USB or SD without a single issue! Can this be manually fixed in the files somehow?
What gives?
How's a guy supposed to add images to his post via img tags, for help ID'n a tablet, without running around spamming for 8 posts? I know it sounds lame, but I couldn't even find an introduction thread to say hi or introduce myself, so I thought I'd ask here while I bumped this thread a little to see if anyone knows a way to fix the parse error files.
By the way, LOVE the video when sign up here, it's awesome! Whoever created that deserves a medal, it's the best!!
I know that this would be better served in his thread, but I'm a newby to posting althought I got one of the first Transformers, but I have just installed Clemsyn's new Ultimate and "My Cloud" seems to be missing. Just wondeing if anyone else has had this issue.
I have formatted everyting and of course formatted my external SD card in the process which of course had my titanium backup.. but I digress..
Anybody else have this issue.
FYI I'm sure this is just me and Clemsyn's Roms are the best in my opinion.. They make this thing fly.
I just did a factory reset and then re-installed a fresh download of his ROM so I'm now thinking it's just not me but that it's supposed to be gone? I really liked that Asus was including that..
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Open the stock zip up and look for the apk in /system. Pull the APK and put it on the TF and install it
Thank you very much for the quick response..
I downloaded the firmware and of course it hasn't been broken down so that you can edit it so I was unable to get to a /system folder.
Downloaded prime 1.9.1 and saw the .apk located there.
I enabled side loading to install it and when I try I get the blurb screen that says it's going to modify stuff and then I get
X Application not installed.
Any ideas? I PM'ed Clemsyn and haven't heard back yet, but I can only think this was excluded by accident as I wasn't able for find a reference for it.
Any ideas on how I can get it installed?
Thanks again.
Ha.. Saying that you have to install that APK made this seem WAY more complicated than it is. You simply have to drop it into the App folder and reboot the device... So easy to do that I'm actually ashamed I had an issue with it. ;-)
FYI a You Tube video showed the very simple steps.
Thanks ;-)
Hi,
First of all, I am new to the android community and I hope that you will understand that I am writing as a noob.
I'm having an issue with my Chinese smartphone POMP W88A. It was a brand that was making smartphones, but it seems they have stopped producing phones. The phone is running on JB 4.2.2. It is running on MTK6589 processor. Kernel version is 3.4.5. Screen resolution is qHD (960x540). This phone seems like a Galaxy S4 clone. It has touchwiz installed, or I assume that it is touchwiz, even though it wont support the Accuweather S4 widget and other Samsung apps. What I was trying to do - I was going to install the Touchwiz launcher and the Accuweather widget from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259228
It seems that it supports a large number of devices. However, when I rebooted into recovery and tryed to install the zips, I got an error message: Installation aborted. I googled a bit and found that some recoveries demand the zip files to be signed. I signed the zip files, rebooted again into recovery, and this time, the installation started, the progress bar started filling and suddenly it aborts the installation with this error message: "Invalid OTA package missing scatter". I tryed to google how to fix that problem, but I am unable to find a solution. There are some topics on this matter regarding the flashing of ROMs, but I just wanted to flash the launcher and the widget. I also found a topic saying that it might be because the Recovery demands Busybox to be installed, so I also installed Busybox, but the problem is still there. I also tried installing other recoveries via Mobileuncle Tools, but none of them worked, so I swithched back to the factory one, which is called Android system recovery 3e. Anyone have any clue how I can fix this? If there is a way to install zips without rebooting into recovery, I could try that, but I dont know if that is possible.
Here's the link for my phones ROM, maybe it could help you out to understand my issue:

Thanks in advance. I would appreciate anyone's help.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
About your problem, Chinese copies are not the best choice....
The error which appear to you it's cause also for the fact that you need a custom recovery for it like TWRP or CWM.
If you are able to get root access on your phone you could simply decompress the flashable zip and then push to system the files to their respective folders.
Other ways i couldn't find.
But for futher assistance i suggest you to head over here: Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yeah, I know they are not very stable. I was wondering something: when I reboot into recovery, I dont have an option called Install zip from SD card, like many other recoveries I saw on Youtube have. I only have Apply update from SD Card, Apply update from Cache and Wipe partition data. Maybe that option "Apply update from SD card" that I was trying is ment for installation of ROMs and flashing updates. Im just guessing... So, how could I install CWM? I already checked the TWRP website, but ofc I couldn't find my device on their list. CWM, however, I don't know how it works. About pushing the apks into system/app - I already tried pushing various launchers into system/app and changing permissions, but none of them worked. Last one bricked my phone, so I reflashed the ROM via SP flash tool. Now its working smoothly, but on the other hand, I payed this phone pretty cheap, and I would love to customize it and learn something new about customizing
