[Q] I'mgetting "Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip" when I try to update my Nexus S
I've searched countless times on how to fix this, yet every time I find a thread containing someone asking about this they never answer it or they're dealing with a rooted device.
My device is not, and has never been, rooted. Never manually updated anything on the phone before trying now.
I tried to manually update to 2.3.3 after never receiving the OTA. Then I tried the 2.3.4 update and I keep getting the "Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip" message.
Can someone explain, or point me in the direction, of a non-rooted answer. Why am I getting this message to begin with?
Do you own the European version? The SLCD 19023 one?
No, it's the American version.
It's weird because I received the 2.3.2 update. But aftr that...I never got the 2.3.3 pushed to me. And now when I try to manually update to the .3 or .4 update...I keep getting that message.

me too. the same problem with my Nexus S
And me too, Davey. Same problem. Bought the Nexus S in New York on late December and I live in Spain. My phone is unrooted.
Haven't received the OTA for 2.3.3 yet and tried both manually updates for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, but getting the same message as you.
It's frustrating!
Same problem here with a UK-bought Nexus S. I have tried with the bootloader Locked and Unlocked. Although bought in UK there is no guarantee that it is not an American import. It was bought from Carphone Warehouse who seem to source their kit from any where they can get it.
So as other people are successfully installing it has to be something specific to this physical handset.

So from the few posts here it's seeming like an international device issue...but yet I'm in the States. So I don't get it.
It's just frustrating that I can't get an answer about it. Many a people are speaking on it, but nobody can explain or solve it. Sigh.
Same issue as you - error in /tmp/sideload
I have Nexus S 2.3.3 (manually updated) from US. I am trying to manually bump it to 2.3.4 -- same issue. I have rooted & unlocked the device. No Mods here.
Same error.
Baseband is I9020XXKB1

Build GRI40
Updated!!!
OK guys -- Finally figured out the problem for /tmp/sideload/package.zip.
If there is any change to the bootloader by any app (RomManager or has ClockWorkMod), then you won't be manually be able to upgrade to 2.3.4
Solution for those on GRI40 2.3.3
1. Flash stock 2.3.3 gingerbread again in recovery more. Do a quick search on XDA and grab it. Almost 90 MB file.
2. Once flashed - Boot it, sign in with google account and under setting, privacy - do a factory data reset. Start it clean. I DID NOT checked the SD card data.
3. Flashed 2.3.3 in recovery again.
4. Reboot it. Did not signed in once booted. Turn USB ON. Put the 2.3.4 file (around 12 MB).
5. Flash it again in recovery mode.
6. I signed in to Google account without restoring my backup.
That's it. On 2.3.4 - Unlocked state remains!
Hi there!
Finally managed to install the 2.3.4 version on my Nexus S and works perfect! Already tried the Google Talk video chat and it's fantastic.
You can find all the instructions and the update files in the following link (thanks to the impaler for that):

I have a Galaxy S 4G Rooted and Unlocked. I tried to install a special lock screen tweak, and all of the sudden upon booting, the Android System imemdiately force closes. The screen stays totally black after the T-Mobile splash screen and Galaxy S logo come up.
I've erased all my data, but what i really need to do is flash the phone (i think...)
What should i do?
Thanks.

If your phone appears to be bricked what you may have to do is flash your phone with one of the three or four Stock Roms that can be found on the DEV site. Check here to see how to use ODEN. For flashing Roms ODEN is the process that is being used on the SGS4G until CWM is working. There may be another way to fix your issue, but if you can get into download mode ODEN should work to get you back to working order. Just make sure you don’t check Partition when using ODEN.

Samsung just released an update using Kies Mini. It's just bug fixes, but it addresses your blank screen. Kies Mini Updates your system Over The Air (OTA). read up on it before you do it. It can be done with the data connection from your phone, but you may want to have a WiFi backup to download the ROM. You don't want it to get interupted during the download process.

I ended up using ODEN like you said, and installed 2.2.1 FROYO KC1.
Phone works fine now, thank you
Oh, and I tried clicking "Software Update" and it says "No Firmware"....
Maybe because i'm unlocked on AT&T?

I don't think Kies recognizes the KC1 firmware since it was never an official release. Hopefully someone will get a firmware dump so that Whitehawk can give us a Deodexed version soon.

Good to hear you got your phone back up and working. Whether you use KC1 or the new KD1 that was just released won’t make all that much difference. When you clicked on Update Software it is looking for the Over The Air Update firmware. That update is selectively distributed to phones from TMO as the bandwidth allows. Your phone hasn’t received the OTA update yet. That is why you got the No Firmware message. The other way you can download the KD1 firmware is by using Keis Mini software from Samsung. I did that update last night and now have the KD1 Firmware. If you are on AT&T you would have to get the OTA update from them if you are on that network. That is if they decide to send it out.
Ah, great.
Well either way I removed the bloatware apps on my phone with TitaniumBackup, so no OTA for me anyway, correct?

Tmo is in the process of scheduling OTA updates. If you are on ATT, the update will have to come from them if they are sending them out. You can also use the Kies Mini application to get the KD1 update from Samsung Here Check the OP. There is also a Deodexed version On the Dev page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696. Note: The Deodexed version needs to be flashed using ODEN or Heimdall.

The LGMobile support Tool reports that I have model LGP999DW and version V10F, but also says that "The Cell phone is the latest version already." Occasionally it will report my model as simply LGP999, in which case I can start updating, but it stops at around 40% with the message "model not supporting S/W update."
If I look under Customer Support > Supporting Model I do not see the LGP999DW listed but I do see LGP999WA. A google search for LGP999WA turns up only one link to a LG site that has a global list of phones that can be updated.
So, do I have a bad version of the update program? Has the update for this phone been pulled even from LG's site? And if I cannot update through LG's program, how do I get the new baseband?
Thanks for your help, because this is getting really frustrating.
Try this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17258229

That did update me to 2.3.3, but it did not upgrade the baseband, which is the whole point of going through the LG updater. The updater still says that I am on version V10F even though the phone says V21e, and it still says that I am up to date.
It also appears that I am now on stock recovery, when I had CWM before. However, I cannot get into stock recovery. Holding down the "down volume" button and power launches an icon of a box with an arrow coming out of it and andy, and appears to do a factory reset of my phone. Is this how stock recovery works, or is it an indication that something is wrong?
Finally, the LG updater program always stops on "checking phone #", is this indicative of something?
If the method I suggested completed. And the phone shows the new baseband. I would tend to believe the phone. It should have flashed everything to stock including the recovery. Just nvflash the latest cwr. And the stock recovery will "factory reset" the phone when using vol down + power.

The phone says that the baseband has not been updated. It still has a date of March 27 2011. The lg updater only gives me information about the software version.
Did you try the kdz method? I can't find the thread right now from my phone facepalm but it was posted in the general section, I believe.

The updater appears to be messed up. Only shows it supports that model you mention which, as far as I know, is not a valid US model number. Hopefully LG fixes it.
I mean no offense by this, but to me I find this funny. Reason for this is that I have the LGP999WA, it is the model T-Mobile was giving out at the Gadget Chicago event and on Twitter Friday last week (Sept. 16th or 15th I think the date was).
Now as for the updater program, the updates through it have been disabled till LG can fix some sort of driver issue for the program/phone (was stated clearly for which), and I got that straight from the tech rep Sat. afternoon when I was trying to make sure my phone was fully updated.

Probably for the issue that during the update the updater resets the device's USB connection three times. It is during these resets that the connection error can occur. This is what has been soft-bricking people G2X's. I had it at my first reset but simply removed the USB cable and reinserted it, waited for the computer to beep and pressed restart and it finished in about 15 minutes. I ignored the moronic instructions about doing a battery pull on the device itself first. They need to do the update without resetting the USB or have a driver that connects faster; or have a longer timeout in the updater program to allow enough time for the phone to reconnect to the computer. It is flashing four files, so I think it is resetting the USB between each file flash. Don't know why and it is not a good way to do things; but certainly an easy way to brick phones.
Alright, thanks for the information, its really helpful to know that its not just me. For now, I have flashed to cyanogen, and will attempt to update the baseband at a later time.
Just so people know I checked the updater and all the models have been restored. They are still on V21e rom (Our 2.3.3 GB rom). The models listed are LG-P999DW, LG-P999DWP, LG-P999DWDU and the new and mysterious LG-P999WA.
Title says it all. I am trying to update (from Froyo) with LG update tool. Everything seemed to go well but now its stuck at 4%. How do I go about disconnecting and trying again? We're talking right now....been stuck there according to elapsed time 1 hr 27 minutes. If I just disconnect the phone will I brick it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24910877#post24910877
Go to that post. It has what to do. I was stuck on it also. I did that.
Thanks for the reply. I ended up disconnecting it and removing the battery. When I turned it back on, it was still on the upgrade screen. Plugged it back in and it restatrted the download and completed it. I guess I'm on the new firmware now.
V21e?
Thats old. New baseband is v21y.
P.S: Sorry, didn't see you were on froyo before. Yeah then it did update it for you. Its just that a new firmware was made available from LG a while back.
So I should do it again?
No. You won't be able to. Its been pulled. Wait for a few weeks. If you are on stock rom, You will get OTA update to v21y from tmobile or LG.
I thought they reposted it yesterday, available for manual download? That's why I tried it today.....
Edit....OK I reread it on Tmobiles site.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362
OTA Update
The G2x will receive a notification that the update is available.
Select Update.
The update will install.
Once complete the phone will restart.
It says it will come to you. Go to your software update and see if it lets you update. I think its on their timing. Not yours. Then again, I am not with any US Carrier so i don't know how the update might work. Sorry.
Hey guys,
Like many T-Mobile G2x users i got seriously fed up with the poor gps K on the phone. When i first got my phone, after i rooted it I tried many of the roms here on the development forum but none of them could fix the gps locking issue. IN the past few days, the phone could not even "view" satellites at all. I was running the JUL 2011 baseband at the time. However after digging around, I went ahead and updated from the LG website with their update software. now my current baseband is M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [MAR 11 2012 10:00:00] MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R-MDM and gps functionality comletely came back. I have a lock under 1 min, the phone still works for calls/text, and data still works.
I ran this process on a computer with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. After the LG update completes it will revert the phone to stock recovery.
Here is a step by step of what I did. Please read everything first before doing the steps.
1. Use TGA_Gunman's guide to restoring a stock Nandroid OS that is unrooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
A Stock ROM (v21e, v10f, or possibly others) is required for the "LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL" to work. Either from a personal backup or downloaded. Recovery version doesn't matter, but suggested to have latest CWM to make Nandroid backups & restores easier.
2. (optional) After you boot into the system link your google accounts, just as you would when opening a phone for the first time.
3.Visit LG's Website and download the T-Mobile LG G2x software update tool.
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P999 (click on the software update tab and follow the 4 steps)
4.After installing LG Update software on your computer, run it, and follow the steps it tells you exactly.
5.Have PATIENCE! This will take around 15 min. and patience is the key. Let it sit there and do it's thing. Make sure your computer doesn't turn off or go into standby during the process and don't disconnect your USB cable until the installer is at its last step and its tells you it's done with the update.
6. Enjoy your functional gps!
P.S.: Thanks to everyone for the helpful feedback and tips to making this guide better!

EDIT 06/2/2012:
The CM7 RC3 update has been verified that it will work with the new March 2012 baseband. If you wish to update to the rc3, apply a "dirty flash" of the 27th nightly update after it (this resolves the gps locking time back to a couple of seconds again).

Why wouldn't you have calling/data after updating only calling issue is people not wanting to stay stock with this baseband.
You don't have to be on that nandroid or link your Google account prior to the update.. I restored my rooted stock nandroid downloaded drivers, installed lg tool and it updated fine as I just walked away and came back to it sitting in home screen with new baseband

When i said calling/data still works i was referring to what some other people in the forums had said that they couldn't get a signal after updating baseband. I, however, did not find anything about using LGs update tool on windows 7. All the topics that came up were about procedures on doing it with windows xp only.
If this way works with the other nandroid versions that thats great news . However, when i was on the July 2011 baseband and I loaded one of the other stock nandroid versions the earpiece and microphone were not working at all. I could place/receive calls but the other person could not hear me nor could i hear them. when I loaded the v10f stock this problem did not come up, so just to be safe I recommend using that one.
Also you said there's calling issues for people that want to use other roms with this baseband? Does that mean I can't load up one of the recent EB ICs roms, etc with this baseband version?
call audio doesnt work with newest baseband and modded roms (tother than kwes's and buru's, both of which are based on V21Y). it just clicks and pops unless you are on wifi calling. basically devs need to start basing their ENTIRE rom on this baseband if they want call audio to work.

actually now the 27th CM nightly update and the CM7 rc3 update have fixed the in call audio problem. im running this update with the new baseband on my phone and everything is working fine. the only thing that doesnt work yet are the old ROMs .hopefully devs do something about that
I also updated from rooted stock (xboarders 2.3.3). I didn't go back to stock recovery. I just ran the LG updater (already had drivers installed), plugged in the phone, hit the update button, and let it do it's thing. It took about 20 minutes
I'm confused about all of the confusion.
XDA Mobile
Hi all,
I did the above procedure, and did the restore from the "LG-P999-V10f" image.
On reboot, the phone comes up and shows the stock "LG" boot up screen.
The scrolly thing goes across for a bit, and then *stops*!
At this point, it is locked up, it won't boot any further up, and when I attempt to use the LG Updater tool, it does see the phone, and says "Phone connected", but the 2nd part of it when checking the phone communication, it fails with "Problem with communication between the cell phone and PC".
So I am stuck...
(Hopefully not bricked?)
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!
Scott
I figured it out, after some minor panic!
The problem was, my ClockWork Mod Recovery bootloader version on the phone was too old!
I used a factory ROM image that was taken from a newer version, and it included some (.tar's I think) file types that weren't supported on the old version of the Recovery.
Thus, I burned an incomplete version of the stock firmware to the phone!!!
(Which is why it was stuck at boot!)
I was able to "One Touch Recovery" with a newer version of Clockwork Mod, slap my Backup of my CM in place, and get back to where I started.
And as part of the "One Touch Recovery", it updated my boot loader to a newer version, and so now the loading of the factory ROM image worked.
I then just ran the LG Updater software after going back to the factory ROM Image, and indeed, it finally works as expected!
Scott
Glad to hear that it worked Scott! And thanks for the feedback, i have updated step 1 to say you need latest version of clockwork recovery
It looks like LG may have taken the update file down, or for whatever other reason, the software update tab is blank. Could someone put up a link to the update file?
@sigmabeta: I noticed during a particularly slow page refresh that the links for the usb driver showed up briefly as the page loaded, then disappeared. I managed to stop the page from loading completely and got the 4 steps listed (under manuals, of all places) one of the links was the update tool, here is the link:

I downloaded it successfully from there. Enjoy!

hmm. im not sure about this one. try this: reboot into clockwork recovery mod and do factory reset . after clear your cache, then clear your dalvik cache. then install the v10f from the restore menu in clockwork mod . after restart, set up your phone as you would do for first time (link google account to it) and then plug it in to your computer and run the LG update tool. thats what i did and it worked for me
also you said version v11f? you must have not flashed the restore correctly. do the above.
The first time I flashed it, I followed the instructions, which said to factory reset AFTER the flash, but I did think of what you suggested and tried it again, factory resetting, clearing cache and dalvik twice before restoring, but the tool is still saying the SW version is 11f. If I go to Customer Support -> Update history, it shows SW v21e (even after reading phone info). Phone info SW ver says LG-P999-V10f. Weird. Should I factory reset/cache/dalvik _after_ flashing the v10f rom as well? i'll re-download it again and try in the morning. what version of the LG updater tool do you have? mine is v1.5.7.0. many thanks for your help.

yes. you should do a complete factory reset even after installing the v10f rom. this is detailed on the original post on how to flash back to stock rom in TGA_Gunmans post.
I just noticed too that it reverted back to froyo (v2.2.2) and not GB, could this be part of the problem? should the stock be 2.3?
just to clarify your last reply re factory reset after v10f flash - should i clear dalvik as well?
yes it should revert back to froyo. and yes reset the dalvik cache too
Have you tried the V21E? I just flashed back to my Jul baseband and restored my 2.3.3/V21E nandroid and the updater found the 2.3.4 release instantly for my phone
