On this website: http://www.examiner.com/x-8134-SF-G...d-Android-21-update-can-be-manually-installed.
I followed to instructions to update the Droid 2.1 the firmware is 2.0.1 and the build number is esd 56 which i think is required for the update to work. but when ever it try to update the phone in the boot menu i get a message saying.
E: Cant open /cache recovery/command
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Why wont it apply the update?
And if this is a wrong thread please notify me.
Thanks
Fixed
Never mind I figured out that i was using windows 7 and when i rename a file that it takes away the .zip part by itself so i renamed it as update.zip.zip. So on windows 7 when you rename it just rename it as "update."
^^
you can also tell that its still a zip by the handy dandy icon to the left of the file name.

Hello everyone,
I decided to finally replace my phone's rom with Cyanogenmod. This post will most likely cover the things that I have done so far and I'd appreciate if you can identify where I could have gone wrong or what I still need to do.
I first went to the site and looked through the wiki on how to install it.
I used the unrevoked method. At first I had difficulties with trying to get it to work as the software didn't seem to detect my phone. So I googled around and found out that one way to fix it was to install the HTC Sync software (thus installing the needed drivers to be able for unrevoked to identify my phone). I found this at some blog I found in the comments section of theUnlockr.
So I run unrevoked and it worked. I now have root access to my phone. Tested it on the terminal by typing su.
I downloaded the Rom Manager from the market (following the step in the cyanogenmod wiki) and updated ClockworkMod to 2.5.0.7
After a couple of tinkering I found out that there's this error when I start recovery mode.
Code:
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Cant' mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
I didn't pay attention to this.
So the next step for me would be to back up everything. SMS, apps, and then finally do a backup of the rom.
So back to the recovery mode. I go on and select 'backup and restore' from the recovery menu and I get this error:
Code:
SD Card space free: 664MB
backing up boot...
Error while dumping boot image!
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
Ugh... So I google around for some info on this and found out a similar problem with mine. The recommended solution was to install AlphaRev on the phone, but unfortunately did some damage to the phone. The poster can only get as far as the bootloader and recovery. Has something to do with the phone being PVT4. I think the newer version of Alpharev handles that already.
Now I look around tutorials on how to install alpharev on my phone to gain S-OFF, but most of the tutorials I found recommends that I do a backup. How I could I do that if it doesn't work in the first place?
So then I decided to replace Clockwordmod with Amonra (lots of googling again) then I stumble upon this site where one can install Amonra in three ways: bootloader, Rom Manager, and terminal. Though not sure whether it would be applicable to my phone, I gave it a shot.
Bootloader: I downloaded the PC36IMG.zip file, placed in on the sdcard. Started on bootloader and crossed my fingers. Didn't work.
Rom Manager: I downloaded the free app. Unfortunately, the "Flash Alternative Recovery" is disabled.
terminal: typed this
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
and just gave me a "flash_image not found"
Okay... by then I'm getting a little bit frustrated. I started this endeavor around 10am and got to this step at around 4pm. It's 8pm now as I'm typing.
Back to my problem. Now I decide to try to replace using unrevoked. I try to use the software again but now there's an error that says that unrevoked cannot get to root and that the firmware may be a new version.
TL;DR
1. successfully rooted HTC Desire using unrevoked
2. Having trouble with Clockworkmod (Can't do backups)
3. Unable replace Clockworkmod with Amonra.
I am now at wit's end. I really don't know what to do now. I wouldn't attempt to install Alpharev without doing a back up. Even more so with trying to install cyanogenmod.
Any form of help is greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Last Friday I turned my phone off and when I turned it back on it got stuck on the loading screen and has been like that since.
I tried removing the battery loads, with no joy. I tried factory reset and clearing cache through the recovery menu, still nothing. So now I want to flash it but I'm having trouble.
I can't get the phone to boot so can't use adb to push a file to the sdcard and I'm stuck with fastboot commands (which I'm not that familiar with other than what I've found on here!). I downloaded the OTA update (from links found in these forums) for my phone to take it to 4.0.3 as I thought it was worth doing. I renamed it to update.zip but when I try the command "fastboot update update.zip" I get the message:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I then tried the full ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
but got the same message.
I don't know what these missing files are, or if I can create them myself! I've found other threads where people said they used replacements found elsewhere but I don't know where to find them!!
I can't find a way to get the update file onto the sdcard so can't use that recovery option.
I'd rather not have to send it back to samsung as that takes two weeks and I'm pretty sure they'd just flash it anyway!
I have the Nexus S still with stock ROM (2.3.6) and unrooted.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Ideally I'd like a way to transfer the update file to the sdcard and recover using the phone recovery. Failing that, I'd like to flash it using fastboot.
cheers
First you need to download this : http://www.4shared.com/zip/2L09-JyW/Root_Nexus_S.html
Just unpack , connect your phone and click run.bat....
After that you need : remove install-recovery.sh just in .....
run in windows-> Start->at the search bar write cmd and navigate into your android sdk is installed
For me :
C:/"Programs and Files (x86)"/Android/android-sdk/tools/>adb shell
# rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#exit
or with Root Explorer into system/etc/install-recovery.sh just renam it (ex. : .sh.old)
thanks for the reply.
What will this do exactly?
I thought adb commands only worked when the phone was booted up?
just had a look at the bat. So it seems this will wipe and root the phone adding superuser privelages?
Is this the only way I can get it working again and once I've done this, how do I undo it as to get the stock version of ICS do I not need to be unrooted or will flashing the stock version from the link in my OP automatically unroot the phone and replace the recovery image etc?
thanks again for your help - I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to rooting and ROMs!
Forgot to say, I have GT-i9020 model if it makes any difference.

My tools will root your device and installed CWM ...after that you can do anything you want....
I'm now rooted and have cwm recovery. Had some issues transferring files to the sdcard but seem to have moved a couple of files, but when I try to update using them I get...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/name-of-file.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I get this whether its the full stock ROMs found on here or the update only packages found on here.
Any ideas?

Reboot into recovery.
Go into "mounts and storage"
Select "mount sdcard"
Select "mount USB storage"
Shortly after your SD Card will be mounted on your computer.

I had just put CWM and Voodoo Lagfix on my phone, and it was working properly. (Except for the Market saying "Server error" and giving me a retry button every time I tried to open it) But then I did a factory reset because I was trying to get my Market to work, It would show the Samsung screen, then go straight to Android System Recovery. It wont let me navigate with the Volume buttons, or select anything with the Power button. But it will hide the text when I press the home button. Useless. Under the four options I can select, it reads:
E:failed to open /res/recovery.fstab (no such file or directory)
E:unkown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Unkown volume for path [/data/fota]

So far I've tried reflashing cwm recovery through odin, still wont work. I've been also trying to put stock android on my phone, but I can't figure out how to. I really like what I had before it crashed, so I want to try to use the same Kernal and Rom, hopefully without messing my phone up after it's fixed. So can anyone help me out? I may need with some detailed instructions or something, because I barely know what I'm doing, but I have some knowledge of it. Lol.
It took a lot of searching, but I ended up figuring out how to fix my phone, Megaupload being down made it harder than I wanted it to be, Lol.
Same thing happened to me. Care to help?
I'm going to assume you want to start all over...
You have to flash the patched version of Froyo in Odin with the repartition box checked.
Once you do that you will have a totally clean, stock phone.
If you ever think you bricked this unbrickable phone, just follow this easy step.
Here's EE19 (patched Froyo ROM):

Omggg.
Well. I already fixed it, but next time I mess up, I will definitely do that! Thanks for the help.
