[Q] How to's = Road block and dead end! Semi Bricked G2. E:Cant open / HTC stuck, etc - General Questions and Answers

How to’s = DEAD ENDS or Road Blocks for my G2. PLEASE HELP!!
Let me just start from the beginning...
1st off..what I WAS running / am running or currently have on G2 :
Clockworkmod V3.0.0.5 (Was running Cyanogen Mod 7 RC1 when the crash and problems started)
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
EMMC-boot
Sept 2 2010 17:59:38
Okay, a few weeks ago I used ADB to manually achieve S-OFF. Was not able to achieve S-OFF thru terminal emulator, kept having su-bin issues. After S-OFF I successfully downloaded CyanogenMod 7. Flashed the new rom just fine and was running well until I started doing some downloading on the Market of different CyanogenMod Live Wallpapers / widgets, etc. After a certain download, phone froze, I rebooted and at start up I was only able to get the white HTC screen.
This is when the research on the forums and the” how to’s” began…
Booted in recovery and error message is as follows :
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5
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
**YES I did back everything up after I achieved S-OFF, so not sure why having this issue.
Reading more forums and others who have had similar issues I then concluded it would be best to try and downgrade back to stock rom with no success. Issues / error messages are as followed :
Downloaded the stock_root.zip from forum and put on root of sd card, when I try and install zip from sd card in CWM phone is reading the following :
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Installing update…
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to ClockworkMod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
So then tried the PC10IMG.zip in CWM and am getting the following error messages :
--Installing /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip
Finding update package
E: Can’t open /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip (bad)
Installating aborted
Last try was applying the update.zip file from forum to root of sd card and when trying to install that in CWM I am getting the following :
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update package
File_getprop: failed to stat /system/build prop
E: Error in/sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
EVERYTHING KEEPS FAILING!! LAST couple things…
When I restart in HBOOT …

[3] RADIO_CUST

Do you want to start update now?
(Vol up = YES)
(Vol dwn = NO)
***After selecting YES, I get the following error message :

Partition update fail!
Update fail!
**** HELP HELP HELP please, someone..! I am about to just call insurance and order a new phone but that’s $130.00 I DO NOT HAVE!! I am still a bit new to this, this is my first g2 and a newbee to Android, love it, but please bear with me here! THANKs in Advance for reading and advice / help!

[Q] I need help install cyanogenmod 6

I'm new to rooting and installing custom roms. I used unrevoked 3 to root my ego, then I created an nandroid and wipe my phone. Next, I rebooted the phone to download the free version of ROM manager from the market. I used the ROM manager to download cyanogenmod 6 (stable). After downloading the rom, I did as the screen prompted me and wipe the phone and created a backup. From here the installation process begins and end with
Welcome to Cyanogenmod 6.0.0-supersonic assert failed: getprop ("ro.bootloader")="0.76.2000"//9.000"
E: Error in /sdcard/clockwork/download/mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip
I haven't a clue what to do at this point.
Can someone please help?

Read this link, I think it is about the same problem.
http://www.actuarialoutpost.com/actuarial_discussion_forum/showthread.php?t=195406&page=46
If I still can not post a link cause I am new, then I googled this:
mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip"
I got three hits, read the first one "maybe we need and android tweeking ...."
Also check this out. I am tempted to say you downloaded the link to the actual file that you want and not the file. Here is the link to the actual file.
http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip
Click that link and then you download the file you need.

Before people can help you, you need to give more information.
What is the model for your phone and is it rooted?
If so, what ROM is it running and what custom recovery do you have?

Ok you can't "apply sdcard:update.zip" because even though you rooted your phone, you don't have a custom recovery. You have the stock recovery image that comes with your phone. This means that every zip you try to "apply" or flash will automatically be checked for a signature (to make sure its a valid update from the manufacturer). Since the ROMs usually don't have signatures, it won't work
Never mind about finding out the ROM. since you have a stock recovery, it looks like you haven't put any custom ROM on it. you are running the stock android OS that came with the phone.
It seems your OS got messed up when you tried to root the phone. The One Click root method you used I believe wasn't fully compatible with your phone. You should have used "Universal Root." Anyway, Give me a day or two. I will see If I can find you an official zip belonging to your manufacturer. THAT you can push back onto your phone and get your OS back and in working order.
Cheers!
P.S: Check if there is an option in recovery mode called "Toggle Signature verification" I doubt it but if there is it would DEFINITELY help you.

I'd recommend changing to CWM recovery via rom manager if you need to toggle verification. Rom manager from the market will flash a recovery for you also.

1. If your USB debugging is enable then you can fix your problem.

I send my Micromax Mobile on 08 Feb, 2011 and Still no info on my device, Micromax = Poor Quality Support, Wastage of money.
@Micromax - Please close your company.... and move your company to your own country....
I tryed to fix it with every update.zip I found in web by
downloading the zip
rename to update.zip
format sd card
copy update.zip to sd card
start in recovery mode
try to start update
... and get a varification failed error
Has somebody a working update.zip, or can say where can I get it and if my steps are right?
1. If your update.zip is not official(signed) then you can't update your device.
Download this and rename this file to update.zip and retry.
Its a signed update.zip

[Q] E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

Hello everyone. I'm a new member here so if I forget to mention crucial information needed to get technical support, please let me know.
Surprisingly it all started when my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900) was low on battery yesterday. I had to go to college so I took my external battery with me and charged it in my backpack. I didn't need my tablet so I left it in there (was working fine before) and I came back to it this morning to find that it had restarted. It was on the glowing blue Samsung logo, but it wouldn't load past that. I tried restarting it and it wouldn't boot past the logo no matter what. So I tried booting into Android System Recovery (Power + Volume UP) to wipe the cache and still, same results. This is where I can see the error "E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)".
I also did the following:
*Download Samsung Kies (both version 3 and the other since each one says it's not supported and to download the other) and try to resolve the issue. Tablet could not be recognized by either version. No fix.
*Download ADB and the official firmware and flash it (adb gives various errors, ex: can't connect. I may be doing the commands wrong as I'm no expert at this). No fix.
*Download Odin in an attempt to flash it, but the first search result in google was a professional-looking website that actually had a trojan-horse for download; had to shut down my PC and run MalwareBytes, Avast! and McAffee to ensure that nothing remained.
I've been at this since morning. I've also looked at other topics and websites about this problem but I can't seem to find a straight-forward solution. Can anyone please help? I desperately need my tablet for work as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance, and please be precise and clear with your answers (because I'm not so good at Android/Linux commands, or rooting or anything that isn't spoon-fed).
Update: Still not working after I tried to apply TWRP 2.8.6.0 (zip) through System Recovery. After finding, opening and verifying the package it gives the following error message:
E: failed to seek in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Value too large for defined data type), E: signature verification failed, E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument).
I should also note that throughout the entire time I used the official firmware, I haven't used any custom ROMs but I'm now open to it since I have to do all this.
Update 2: Downloaded Cyanogenmod Installer and while it was about to install, it detected the device needed to be repaired. My device was in Android System Recovery under the "apply update from ADB" selection, and these errors came up when Cyanogenmod tried to fix it: "E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed".
BIG Update (3): I managed to find the legit Odin application and flashed TWRP v2.8.6.0. However, I'm not sure what to do from this point on out. Help?
Hi.
I am in the same situation. Have you found a solution ?
Thanks in advance.
