Hi!
I decided to try the CM9 Alpha 11 on my Nexus S. I did like it, but I wanted to stick with GB until the offical OTA comes. But the problem is, I can't flash any ROMs in CWM after installing this ICS. It just says can't open package (bad) when I try to install .zip from SD-card.
I decided to try restoring a GB ROM to see if that helped. I dis manage to restore it, but installing a rom still doesn't work. I have tried with ROM manager and straight from CWM. I have tried multiple ROMs and with multiple different CWM versions. Nothing seems to work, not even a offical OTA .zip package works.
Somebody please help!
maybe you should try odin
You need to wipe system and boot, then restore or flash a new rom.
Go to Mount in cwm, format system, data, cache, and boot, then perform your nandroid restore or whatever you want to do.

are you downloading via wifi or 3g? are you able to open the zip files manually to make sure they're not corrupted?
I posted this in Q&A, but no replies led me to post here as well.
Hi. I've been using this Xoom for a couple weeks now, and just started having this problem yesterday.
Before I noticed the promblem I was on EOS 3 Wingman. I had TWRP 2.2.2.0 as recovery.
I wanted to give CM10 nightlies a shot. Downloaded the ROM and GAPPS through Goo. I tried to flash the CM10 ROM and GApps zip through the Goo interface. Xoom rebooted and instead of installing, I just got a contantly repeating error saying the install failed.
Eventually I rebooted the xoom and went into recovery. I tried to wipe data and it said it couldn't be mounted. Same error for wiping system, cache, etc...
Rebooted xoom and the EOS 3 rom was still working fine, I downloaded [Recovery] ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) Modded for Internal media [UPDATED 10/6]" and flash via adb. rebooted to recovery and tried wipe. same issue. nothing could be wiped. everything said "failure mounting <applicable partition>".
I tried flahing rogue recovery and got the same thing. I said screw it and rebooted back into EOS and it's been working fine. EOS was updated last night to 143, so i downloaded and tried to install through goo. I got the repeating errors again. Rebooted into recovery and still got the errors where it seems like none of the partitions are writeable.
I WAS able to install the EOS update directly through recovery.
Has anyone ever seen this behavior before and know how to fix it? I can't even export logs in the 2 CWM recoveries because they fail when trying to write the log file.
If I try to install an update through goo, it reboots to recover and just keeps scrolling "An Update Error has occured".
I can reboot to recovery and install the zip from there directly with no issue.
Here is the log for the failed data wipe...
I:mke2fs command: mke2fs -t ext4 -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!

once in recovery, if I try to format data, it says "Unable to format data". Log
Well I can't help, I'm in the same boat...hoping to get some insight from any responses you might get.

It's extremely unusual to get no responses to an issue like these here at XDA. leads me to believe it might be a very uncommon problem. The folks here are usually on the ball about any issue that has even arisen before.
That being said, I am going to try to flash the stock RUU back on from this link...
http://developer.motorola.com/produ...utm_source=supportforums&utm_term=unlockboard
After I finish, I re-root/unlock.
I'll let you know how it goes.
I'll let you know if I come up with something as well. So far I've managed to erase the sd card and maintain a constant boot loop.
Flashing all of the stock img, relocking, and unlocking again didn't do ****.
Found an original MZ600 SBF, which is what I need for verizon 3g xoom, I'm installing this via RSD Lite to see if it blows away whatever is causing the issue.
I was able to wipe the entire system and use adb to repeat the unlock and root steps. So far so good. I'm using the CWM 3.2.0.0 recovery image right now though. I have at least been able to get into a clean copy of a ROM and no bootloops yet. Can't restore data off old Nandroids, so I'm about to update to the newer CWM based recovery image and see if that will help.
I think I'm OK now.
I installed the SBF. Let all of the OTA updates come in including the ICS update where my 3g stops.
flashed the ROGUE recovery from fastboot.
I was able to format all partitions and install and boot CM9 nightly.
Me too, i was sweating hard for a bit, but was able to go through the entire process from stock, unlock, root, rogue recovery and then flashed CNA. Got that working without boot loops or fc and then advance restored data from a previous nandroid through rogue to get it back. A couple of apps had to be redownloaded from the market, but it looks as if I'm back in business. I want to try TWRP, but every time I do something screws up, so I think I'll stop trying.
Thanks for the help.

Are you installing Twrp from goo manager. Cause I have not had any issues with the goo manager download. But did have issues with the zip file here on xda. I dont kknow if it is worth a try but that is how I did it.
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
Well sense this is a twrp related issue I would think u would have asked in my thread where I released the port for twrp to Xoom,
Having said that, at one point n time there was a note n the open about open script recovery. But its is also buried in the thread too. So I will answer your question and also presume a few things... and please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.
Once u set the download path in goo app to /data/media/goomanager/ and downloaded a ROM, clicked flash ROM, and entered recovery once u saw all the E/ update error u manually rebooted the Xoom and did not let the script finish installing the ROM? If I am correct that so far. That's what cause your additional problems. You basically rebooted recover while mid install of a ROM.
Now as stated it the twrp thread for Xoom, these errors are false errors and should be ignored. To add it the reassurance that they are intact false errors, from goo app select to flash a ROM again and simple allow the script to finish and then the tablet will reboot on its own when it is finished with the script. And you will be greeted with your new ROM you just successfully flashed.
Again let me know if I am wrong on assuming you forced a reboot mid install ( aka while u saw all the errors)

No, after pushing the TWRP recovery to the Xoom using adp, I would clean install a ROM and get one of two results....1) the ROM would run for a few seconds and then reboot, or 2) the ROM would run, but everything would fc. Fixing permissions, wiping everything, etc., wouldn't help the issue. No matter what I tried under TWRP, those were the results. I ended up having to start from scratch to negate whatever it was that was making the xoom go funky. Once I pushed rogue and followed the same process, I was back in business.

You have to wipe system in mount and storage and cache and dalvik cache and battery in advanced. If this will not solve your problem try to re download the rom.

Make sure you're using a pre-flash wipe for your phone. I prefer http://db.tt/daJpOjDa (it's a download, it formats system, data, cache).
thanks for all the answer..
i got it fix but that's not the wipe problem, or the ROM downloading problem
i think it's bcoz i'm using the old version of custom recovery (Ra-thunderg 1.0 <-- forgot the version)
i am trying to upgrade it to the AmonRa 3.6 but ican't flash the AmonRa 3.6.zip (i think it's bcoz the Ra-Thunderg 1.0 is not capable or compatible for flashing it), some verification error.
so i tried to flash CWM 5.2? <-- forgot the version (another recovery) and it's work..
coz i am not used to use this app than i change it to AmonRa 3.6, and once again it's work...
so after i upgrade the custom recovery, i could flash that ROM.
thank you.

Hello people, I know there are already threads about this but I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong..
I was running cyanogenmod on my device when suddenly everything started to force close so I decided to try out another rom, Miui.
(http://agaragar-agaragar.appspot.com/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221606)
I have done this flashing of roms before already which went all well, so I decided it would be a good idea to forget to make a backup :silly:
and this is what I did:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
and then I tried to flash Miui, but it says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/miui.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
what I tried to solve:
Redownloading the zip in different browsers.
Trying different recovery (first try was in CWM, then I tried TWRP)
Tried flashing from a different SD card
Tried reformating SD card
I also tried to flash different roms, but everything that I try to flash gives the same error, so I think there is a problem with my phone and not with the zip which I try to flash.
Also something went wrong while trying to solve the problem and now I dont have any OS installed on my phone so I can only use recovery and a PC to solve this problem.
Can you guys please help me?
I have been searching for a solution on the internet for a whole day now and I have still not found a solution!

I already tried using another sdcard
what do you mean with downloading a new zip pack?
I did try to redownload the rom though.
when I get back from school I will try the twrp recovery thingy, I hope it works!!
Try flashing garuda kernel first in my signature there is a link for it, after that try with some rom, I doubt that this will work but.... that's the best I can think of now. Changing recovery is maybe your best bet. Also try with some other rom, who knows.

I now use twrp recovery,
when I pressed the button 'power off' in twrp it said:
Install Superuser
your device does not appear to be rooted
blah blah
so somehow my phone is de-rooted
I'm going to install superuser and then try to instal a rom, I will post what happened.
wish me luck
okay now ive insalled superuser again, I tried different zips the first 2 it was complaining something about md5 but the third one installed fine(my first succes since a long time )
this means my phone is rooted again right? becauses twrp does not say it is not.
but I still cant install a rom though, but i haven't tried installing the kernel you mentioned, is this the right link for the download?
github.com/digitalcode
EDIT:
I couldn't find a good download for garuda kernel so I downloaded cranium kernel which installed fine!
but I can still not install a rom, I try to instal miui v4 revised, if that doesn't work i try to instal the stock west european rom, and if that doesn't work I try to install cm10, but nothing works all the same (bad) error!
help me, do I really need garuda kernel? if so can you please give me a download link to the zip?
EDIT 2:
Maybe if I use another PC to copy the zips to the SD, will that work?
I'm gonna try, I'm now open to try everything that comes to my mind, I really want my phone to be working again!!

SUCCES!!
I FINALLY GOT MY PHONE BACK!!!
I think the problem actually was with the copying of the file from my pc to the phone,what I normally did was : take out the sd card, put it in a reader and then copy the files to the sd.
Now I connected my phone while in twrp to my pc with a wire and then copied the zip file to the phone !!!
its such a simple solution but so hard to find!!
my phone is booting right now I hope it works!
it takes a long time, probably building the dalvik cache..
fingers crossed
All right! My phone is working again now! I'm going to install a mount 2 SD script and then i'mdone for a while with all this stuff! Thank you all who helped me!
Ok was trying to install a ROM and got an error that there was no OS installed and now the phone wont boot up
I rooted it via Bacon root toolkit and I took a back up before I rooted but I cannot get it to reboot. The back up is saved on the PC and phone not getting picked up by PC
Anyone tried to restore android back up file and went to ab file on pc but it wont load. Can go into fastboot and recovery but not showing on PC
HELP
Delete duplicate post
This is why you shouldn't use toolkits, you have no access to fastboot and no idea how to fix it. What drivers are installed on your PC? I guess it doesn't matter, my advice is to completely delete anything that the toolkit installed and start fresh. Go to my guide thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
I have links to the Android SDK (which contains adb/fastboot) and the right drivers for this phone. Make sure you reboot your PC after deleting everything, then install the SDK and the drivers, reboot PC again, connect phone.

Your problem here is that you're trying to install a ROM but you don't have the correct firmware installed. When flashing a Lollipop ROM for the first time you need to first flash Lollipop firmware and Lollipop modem. Once you've flashed those they're always there so you don't need to do it again. The only reason you'd need to flash firmware and modem again would be if you wanted to return to a KitKat ROM, and then it'd be KitKat firmware and modem that you'd need to flash. Anyway, you'll find the modems here:
http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/bacon/modems
And I mirror the firmwares here:
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFRGhZeUNpMEI4ajg/edit
PS. I also noticed you weren't wiping properly before attempting to install the ROM. When flashing a ROM you need to perform a full wipe, this includes system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. This didn't cause the problem you experienced, but had the install succeeded you would have had other problems.

Cheers thanks for that. I thought the ROM updated the firmware and modems so that's a lesson learned
So I download the modem and firmware and copy these into the download folder on the phone and install via TWRP recovery correct? Modem first then firmware? This will then put lollipop on the phone correct?
Then if I want to install a new ROM I need to do a full wipe. I just did not see that option and was just following the video tutorial associated with the Sabermod thread by wiping cache system and dalvik
Read your thread and will be doing a full nandroid & EFS back up prior to do any of the above
Thanks again

Yes, install via TWRP recovery. It doesn't matter which order you flash them in. So install both, then go to the reboot menu, and select to reboot back to the recovery. This doesn't install Lollipop as such, this installs Lollipop compatible firmware.

Then if I want to install a new ROM I need to do a full wipe. I just did not see that option and was just following the video tutorial associated with the Sabermod thread by wiping cache system and dalvik

Go to the wipe menu in TWRP, then select advanced wipe, from there you can choose which partitions you want to wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache), just don't wipe internal storage (that's your virtual sd card).

Read your thread and will be doing a full nandroid & EFS back up prior to do any of the above
Thanks again

Very good, that's super important. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes the EFS partition will just randomly become corrupt, if you don't have a backup in that situation your phone is useless (you can't use someone else's EFS backup because it contains unique device identifiers).

CM12 does do that, but no other ROMs do.

Reading about back ups etc on the below when creating a recovery
-Make sure you check the md5 to verify its integrity.
How and what do you check?
Also I first do the back up. Then install the firmware and modems and then update the ROM.
I dont need to flash the stock kernal or fastboot images, correct?
Also doing a back up does it back it up to an internal SD Card or should I keep it on PC
Cheers

The download page for a ROM or kernel usually lists the md5 checksum for that particular file. An md5 is like a digital fingerprint of the file, so once you've downloaded it you use an md5 checking app/program to confirm that the md5 of the downloaded file matches the md5 listed on the download page. This confirms that the file hasn't become corrupt during the download, if even a single byte of information is corrupt in a file the md5 will be drastically different.
You don't need to flash the stock kernel or stock images, the numbered parts in my guide aren't steps, they're sections.
When you create your nandroid backup using TWRP it will automatically be saved to your internal storage. You should keep at least one backup on your phone at all times, think of it as an insurance policy just in case something goes wrong, you'l always have a known working OS there to save you. You should also copy it to your PC for safe keeping.

You have nothing to check it against though.

Ok so the ROM I downloaded is called cm-12-20150324-ROBBIEL811-UBER4.8-bacon and is in zip format and the download link on the developers page is dead so I cannot check the md5 file?
Thanks

Well yeah, if you can't reach the download page there's no way to see what the md5 is. Not all download pages have it anyway, they should, but not all do.
