am I just mistiming the enter button or something, or do I have a bad download again.
It was asked last month in the root the aria thread with no resolve so if I could figure it out this might help some others out including myself, and I thought getting adb working was the hard part...
here is the code exactly
Code:
-- Install from sdcard..
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
hit enter as per instructed (tried before after and all around this moment)
Code:
Installing update...
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 0)
Installation aborted.
just run the two commands again.
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
then type: adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
but select update.zip on the phone and press power first and when it says "verifying" hit enter on the keyboard.
If it still doesnt work try reformatting the sd card
I'm such a freaking newb I forgot to put the first update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
trying in a few moments
and wham bam thank you mam I have root.
so if you get error 0 make sure you read carefully and don't try to perform root almost asleep.
I was redoing the ota.zip not the update.zip silly me
Mine says the same thing, but I made sure I copied it to the sdcard first along with a ROM and ota.zip, and root.zip.
I also noticed that on my command prompt that it says error: device not found.
Right before it says device not found in my command prompt, the batch file it typing adb push ota.zip //sdcard/update.zip.
right after i type rootme2 the batch file also types in my command prompt clr, but an error comes out 'clr' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. "Please Wait..." This is the time where I am trying to time the apply sdcard:update.zip in my recovery console on my phone with hitting enter for the second time after typing rootme2.
Any suggestions? Am I missing something? Am I mistiming it still? Is it that difficult to time it correctly?
I do have an HTC Android phone USB device under disk drives and a E:\ under portable devices without an exclaimation mark in my device manager. However if I try to double click drive e: in my computer it says to enter a disk.
ANY advice is GREATLY appreciated!!
BTW I have made sure adb is running in task manager and I have tried unplugging and replugging in my usb cord.
I was having problems getting my slide running. It was suggested in the slide forums to install the free version of pda net onto the pc. It will find the right drivers for your device. I know the aria and slide are very simmilar. Alsp, it sounds silly, but I couldn't get root usinf my primary pc running win 7 64 bit. I dug an old xp 32 bit laptop out of my closet and got everything perfect on the first try.
Hope it helps some.

Thank you for your reply. I already took the initiative to try it with an XP 32-bit system. Both systems seem to not be able to contact the device while it is in recovery state. No problems with the device while it is on and connected to either machine.
This is an Eris I am trying to root by the way. Everything seems to go like it is supposed to until the last part. The rootme2 command.
Thanks again, any other advice is appreciated!
Sorry that none of that has worked. I saw eris and read aria......
Either way, I wrote it up, maybe it will help someone.
I have been folowing the aria since my father in law had me root his. I used the exact computer and same process to do both. I only got root on the aria, never installed a rom or anything, he just wanted swipe like my wife and I have. I followed one thread or another, and it reccomended running an app called usbdeview. I deleted all htc drivers that were using usb. I then followed advice on another thread to install pda.net with links. Then follow eugene373's htc root method. When it finally worked it was easy. I did it another 10 times before I finally figured out how to get clockwork to take.
Only other thing to make sure you have is the newest java installed. Not the normal one but the one for developers. If ya are stuck, try reading a little in the htc esspresso (mytouch slide) forums. The two phones are pretty much the same on the inside. Different wifi and a few other things. See if ya stumble onto your exact problem. I am not saying to flash slide roms or anything.
Best of luck to you

How about...
Move your adb installation to something like c:\android. Put all of the files you are working with into c:\android\tools
The change directory to your android tools folder and try it again.

I have done this a half a million times already with the same results. I tried at different times of the process with the same results. I do see HTC Android Phone USB device in my device manager with no errors. I do not see an Android adapter with My HTC in the device manager at all while in recovery mode like I do when the phone is all the way on and booted into the system.
I have tried everything listed in this thread and have been following wesgarner's post in forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713347 which is based on Eugene_373's instructions. I found this thread with someone that appeared to have the same problem as I, and I tried what he tried and no luck.
Any further advice is GREATLY appreciated!! Thank You in advance!!
Has no one had this problem?
Factory wipe will just take me back to the version that I got this phone with, correct (2.1, replacement phone)?
Thank You!!
the push is
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
for case 0
I was trying to push this again and getting error 0
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
I am haveing the same problem where after fastboot/boot loader screen comes up I go to recovery it brings me to the screen with the phone , triangle and exclamation.I next push power and up volume button and it brings me to the android system recovery. <2e>. In yellow at the bottom it says E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command, before i even touch anything else. I then go to apply sdcard:update.zip and given the error:

I have formated the sd card to FAT32 many times and now wondering if someone has the ability to send me their files that worked to boot up their phone with similar problems. Or even the clockwork backup files from the clockwork mod nan backup.

if you're having issues with drivers and ADB connectivity, install HTC Sync and it should install the proper drivers for your device. i have done that on a 64x windows 7 machine and a 32x XP machine.

the initial error is expected if you're attempting to access clockwork recovery the old way, (attempting to plug the usb cable in at the right time, pushing the commands, etc) which is now not needed. to root your phone, simply use the unrevoked teams method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6952379&postcount=1

To make a long story short, my now ex-boyfriend rooted my phone. All was fine and dandy, however, I want to return it back to original stock mode. I have tried numerous methods, including using a terminal emulator (and following the given instructions), factory reset, etc. I have somehow or other deleted Superuser, as well as busybox. I tried to do an Android system recovery, and an error appears at the bottom stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command. I read to download update.zip and have done just that, and I receive this error: "Install from sdcard.. Finding update package, opening update package.. E:failed to verify whole-file signature, E: signature verification failed, Installation aborted." I just want my phone completely unrooted so I am able to receive the newest update (2.3). I have a Motorola Droid 2. Right now, when I try, it says that the update has failed. If anyone could PLEASE help me, I would appreciate it greatly. I have been fooling around with this since this morning.
Hi everyone,
First post (brilliant video!).
My tablet:
Asus Transformer Pad TF300 (rooted)
CWM 5.8.2
My problem:
- We decided to give our Transformer to my gf's dad for his birthday. I tried to backup using a later version of CWM (6 something) but it didn't work. I downgraded to 5.8.2 and it worked fine. I then did a factory reset (which I realise now was not the way to go).
- CMW bootloop : restored my backup, successful - still bootloop.
- Have spent the last 4 hours figuring out ADB and managed to push both a new recovery (rogue) and the latest ASUS firmware to the SDCARD. Despite it confirming the transfer from the cmd line I could not see the zip files in the directories. I tried several times to several different directories. On the last try before the SD card decided to go on vacation I did see one of the files in the root directory.
- Now, no matter what I do, I get a "can't mount /SDCARD" error. Trying to erase/format/factory reset the pad results in errors when trying to access DATA and SDCARD.
- I've located and tried several different scripts from different threads that supposedly create a fake SDCARD directory but nothing has worked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679274&highlight=encrypted&page=3
- I've also tried to run the install package remotely from ADB but the mounting problem reoccurs
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/
It appears that many people have encountered similar problems but none of the recommendations have been successful for me so far.
There also seems to be a strange anomaly with the adb shell timing out before I can finish the command. Is this a cable issue?
I'd be super grateful to anyone that can help me sort this out.
Cheers
Sam
Anyone?
I should mention that I had installed Super SU / Super User on the tablet... if that makes any difference.
I woke up this morning and booted the tablet to get this:
E:can't mount /cache/recover/command
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Error mounting /cache!
In addition to all the previous problems.
Super!
Nobody? Anybody?! Please help!
Hi,
If you have fastboot mode, try to inject twrp (the last 2.2.x.x or something like that) ...
--> read the way to do that on the http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/97
With last TWRP you can mount sd card (first download & extract stock rom .zip and put it on root of your sdcard)
After that, flash stock rom with TWRP ...
Choose fastboot method...be careful (there is 2 versions : JB or ICS)
SOFT BRICK fixable!!! although root repair not yet covered...
I seemed to have a simular problem on my tf300t.
tried to install a CM 9.1.0 (stable)
Stuck at asus cold boot screen.
Solution i found+
*download Fastboot and an adb.shell brigde if you dont already have it.
*place the downloaded systemware (AVALIBLE ON THE ASUS SUPPORT WEBSITE) you wish to install in the same folder you have fastboot. (example-US_epad_10.4.3.13.blob)[432.3MB]
*Boot tablet into CWM [NOTE: I used CWM-Touch. 6.0.3.1 or something along those lines] (TWRP- im unsure if the process is the same).
-from advanced settings at the bottom, wipe dalvik cache.
-no need to wipe your user data cache, but wipe other data cache.
-reboot to bootloader and select fastboot option. (3rd one with pic of usb) DO NOT PLUG IT IN YET.
*Back on your WIN pc open your windows explorer, find the folder containing the Fastboot.exe and hold shift and right click at the same time for an admin operations menu. You should see an option "Open Command Prompt Here". Click it to begin a Fastboot session.
*NOW CONNECT YOUR TABLET!!!
*TYPE THE FOLLOWING AS SHOWN! DO NOT DIVERT OR YOU SCREW UP-
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
***NOTE THAT THIS METHOD WILL TAKE QUITE SOME TIME AND YOUR COMPUTER MAY EVEN LOOK LIKE ITS FROZEN...STOP! JUST LET IT DO WHAT YOU ASKED IT TO...THIS IS QUITE A LARGE TASK AND WILL TAKE TIME. MY PC IS AN OLD DELL E300 dem. I KICK THE PROCESS ATLEAST A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE I JUST LEFT IT ALOOOOONNNE and it worked...although i cant seem to figure out how to delete the old su binary i install so i could re-root it....ANYONE GOT ANSWER? PLEASE HELP. EMAIL IS ALWAYS UP.
IF THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE UNCLEAR, OR YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, MESSAGE ME...
AND IF THIS HELPED YOU...SHARE THE LOVE-GIMME A THANKS!
Ok, so I used this method to root, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=310
I then took a nandroid immediately after rooting. I then installed the latest version of CWM 6.0.1.3 (I used Rom Manager to install it which may have been my mistake).
I was then going to be in the process of installing a custom ROM so I went to wipe data / factory reset, but it just sat there and did nothing. I then tried to boot and I got stuck at the ASUS screen (second screen after the EEPC pad page thingy). It just sits there.
CWM doesn't recognize anything (can't mount SD card so I can't restore whatsoever.. When I try to restore it says:
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
E:Can't mount /sdcard
I'm not quite sure what to do next. I obviously messed up somewhere. I'm guessing ROM manager didn't flash CWM correctly. I'm newer to Android and this is only my second device that I'm attempting to flash... not sure what to do. Please help if you can, if not, guess I'll be buying the new google tablet... shouldn't have done this before my trip to hong kong heh.
-----
EDIT: I can't cold boot either
So I can get into APX mode, I downloaded nvflash and ran the download.bat, but still nothing, it just sits at the eee pad screen and does nothing.
I tried this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMHXeYMgPy4 (with the TF101), when I run the download.bat, it just disconnects the device and nothing happens.
When I run that bat file manually I get this error message.
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)

I'm guessing this means my version is too new for AXP recovery... darn that's no good. I can't tell what version my transformer is, the sticker on the back is too hard to read (maybe because it's really late), and all of the other stickers I pealed off today... heh.
I tried getting adb to work, but I'm not quite sure how. I believe I have the drivers installed, but I have a feeling I messed up the SD card on my device so much that even adb can't recocgnize it.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ I followed this guide..
Ok, I can get into adb mode and can push items to my device, anyway to restore this way?
Ok, flashed a new recovery. I'm able to access my sd card (external). I found my restore, however, when I went to restore my backup it restored the system, but got an error formatting data...

I was there before this thread...no achievment so far
there is no solution at the moment unfortunately...
My phone is a Samsung galaxy S3 SCH-S968c, Verizon Networked for Straight Talk. I ran into having my phone stall after the Samsung logos boot up and then the tracfone logo appears and stalls there. The issue started after i tried installing multiple tweeks using a popular app for rooted devices (i cant think of the apps name at the moment). I have a version of CWM on it. After reading threads here in XDA i found that my CWM will not work correctly on this phone. Retired Forum Moderator "edfunkycold" said "It's not really a bug with the recoveries which where modded. It's part of whatever Samsung has done to keep people from rooting and flashing roms." so i downloaded both CWM_mod2.img and TWRP_mod2.img.
So between the soft bricking and the usless cwm i cannot flash anything or access the internal or external sd cards. I tried using ADB and these commands:
adb push .img /sdcard/.img
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
I just get the Android Debugging Bridge version...............
I also tried other methods found in XDA using ADB.
I tried Samsung Kies, 4 versions of Odin, SkipSoft Android Toolkit and some other java executable program that didnt work.
I can boot into both recovery mode and download mode.
Recovery mode does nothing....
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /sdcard
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
.....etc. etc.
In Download mode, Odin recognizes that the phone is connected but when i try loading anything it wont connect. example: trying to load a bootchain file it says:
checking MD5 finished successfully..
Leave CS..
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / fail 0)
Other attempts show the RED FAIL square.
Im having trouble finding the correct Files to Flash. Im guessing the SCH-I535 is the non-straight talk equivalent to my straight talk phone so i have downloaded file: Samsung-Updates.com-SCH-I535-VZW-I535VRALF2_Kernel.zip
and Rom: Sons Of Android - cm-10.2-20130928-UNOFFICIAL-jewel.zip
Bottom line is I DONT CARE what version of android (stock or ROM) as long as it's compatible and need the correct flash files necessary. I THINK it originally has jellybean 4.2.2??? PLEASE help. ive been messing with this for 3 weeks now :crying:
Thanks
try "fastboot flash boot boot (recovery.img location on your computer). " It will remove your rom, so put one on the sd card.

ADB is not recognizing my phone. Odin still is. I tried to flash recovery with Odin last night. The process completed with success but when i restarted the phone i was not able to gain access back to the recovery. Now I can only get into download mode. Is this why ADB is not working, cuz it has to be in recovery mode?
Also I am confused on how the file structure should be when i put a rom on the sd card. I know they go in the root..... do i just extract them from the ZIP straight over to the SD? Is there a way to convert ZIP files to an Odin flashable file?
FIXED!!!! w/ Straight Talk Stock Firmware SCH-S968C
I FINALLY found a working download link for the correct firmware!!! Thanks to an old post by Kenny1974 who posted the name of the file. I googled it and found only one available!
