You must have hide known file extensions enabled in Windows so when you named it update.zip you were actually naming it update.zip.zip
Hey!
Can someone tell me how to create update.zip files for g3?
regards
I am not sure, but i think g3 recovery requires update.zip files to be signed with Samsung key, which we don't have.
i tryed to signing the file, it opens the package, and gives an error :/
damnit..
Thing is you most likely signed using the test key which is not accepted by Samsung recovery
yea, i am using the testkey :/ whatever, thank you, need the android.policy.jar file
is this not work?
what is samsung key?

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
Who can tell me why. Trying to do the 2.2 update.
Samsung Mesmerize; SCH-i500; Rooted stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread with Busybox!
I really don't know how I got to this point, I've flashed w/ Odin so many times now, that I have no idea if the above is still where I'm at but here goes the problem:
I turn on my phone and it doesn't even show the Samsung logo, just goes directly to the Samsung Recovery Utils with #MANUAL MODE# displayed at the bottom of the screen.
"reboot system now"
again, reboots into the same recovery mode (Samsung...)
"apply sdcard:update.zip"(after returning to the main screen):
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
"wipe data/factory reset":
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
(Invalid arguement)
E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount HIDDENSDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
"wipe cache partition": works fine though
I know this has been asked before but I haven't found any other posts about the Samsung Mesmerize SCH i500 & I'm not sure if this is model specific & don't really want to take my chances, sorry.
Ok, update: I just used Odin to reflash to rooted 2.3.4 & it still goes to recovery mode (Samsung) & all the options are the same (w/ the same results) as above, I can't get my sdcard to show on my computer to manually apply the update, unless there is a way I don't know of, the only way I know requires me to be on the phone's Main Menu & use the notification drop-down menu to activate transfer mode on my computer, what am I missing?
Now I used Odin again, this time to put ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.0 on it & now it booted up in CwM Recovery mode but I still get the same error when trying to apply the update (see above)
Trying to "- mount USB storage":
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I just want to format the whole thing, phone & sdcard, & start over from scratch as though I had just bought the phone.
Ok, for future reference, if anyone has a problem like this, unless you find another solution, this is what I did:
I downloaded a rooted stock 2.2 Froyo, ran Odin & just put the SCH-I500_USCC_EA11_REL_ROOT.tar.md5 in the PDA part & flashed it, it went to the recovery screen again at boot up but, after selecting Reboot it went right to the phone splash screen, so, I guess I'm back in business but I haven't tested anything yet, I'll update this post to keep you all in the loop, wish me luck.
It would seem that I can get wifi but I don't have a carrier or 3G, as far as I can tell, its become no more than an iPod Tough (just having wifi access) I can, however, now access the sdcard, when I plug the USB cablein it asks if I want Samsung Kies or Mass storage.
I don't know
Download and unzip the linked file. Place the tar file in the PDA slot and the pit file in the PIT slot. Make sure repartition is checked and the flash. This should get the phone booting again.

Once this is done download and unzip the linked file. Do the exact same thing. Place the tar file in PDA and the pit file in PIT. Make sure repartition is NOT checked and flash. This should have you booting into EH09 without issue.

Worked great, thank u very much, started off w/ the signal bars at full but wouldn't make any outgoing calls or send any messages but I could receive messages (text), every time I tried to make a call it kept giving me a recording, something about "To make a collect call please enter the are code and phone number of the person you are trying to call...." so I type the number & it responds w/ something "....the number you are trying to call cannot be billed..." "...to make a phone call w/ a pre-paid card or a credit card..." so I just entered the US Cellular activation # & I was back in business!
ok so after this!
After i do this (Hopefully it works) then could i use ODIN to flash the pre rooted 2.3 rom? or not?
Once done with those instructions you will be on EH09. Odin a recovery and flash the below linked file. It will root it for you.

Any chance you could relink those? I'm in the exact same boat.
Is there anyway I can get those links? When I click them it say's they're expired or something...

After I checked the file format in winn explorer , and the file format was "ZIP" ONLY. There was no "ZIPMINZIP".
After i tried to use 7-zip zipper but i get the same error.
Second thing , if invalid character means wrong simbol in name of zip file and zipminzip is a program to unzip the file , I tried to rename it also to a.zip but withouth any effect.
Is there any other method how to modify roms default app ?
Or any other way how to modify roms.. ?
My CWM is RA-blade-v2.3ro if this helps...
Thank you verry much for answer.
Maybe problem in name of files inside a zip(invalid symbols in file name)

Yes , this was the problem . The CWM minzip is not supporting slovak simbols like "ลก" so i renamed and it worked.
Thanx for help.. heh ...
Hey, so when I try to restore my backup with TWRP I always get this error "Failed to mount '/preload' (invalid argument)"...
On YouTube, I didn't find any working solution. I really need help with this issue, so pls respond asap if you can help me.
I really appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance!
Is your TWRP ported from another device? This error happens when there is no partition called prelaoder on your device OR if your mount points are not correct. Extract the TWRP and your stock recovery. Copy file called goldfish from your stock recovery to TWRP. you will find it in the ramdisk folder. This file contains all the mount points. If this file is missing try to find other files with mount points
How can I solve it, can you explain step by step please, I am a beginner in the custom rom and yesterday I got screwed when I was trying to install magisk and a multi nose file, I had to press the other one because I saw a video installing it, it seems that it was not compatible
