Error upgrading to Gingerbread!

Hey guys,
Every time I try to install the "Monster_2.3.2_4.5.153_updater_Rooted.zip" ROM from Droid Life the install aborts with an error message and I have nothing left to do but to remove the battery and reinsert it. When I do that however, I get to the boot loader with an error message and I have to revert to the stock SBF and re-root my phone, re-bootstrap recovery, boot in recovery, and try again - I'm feeling lucky. I have done this about seven or eight times, nine as we speak, and so far with absolutely no success. I would really like to know if I am doing something wrong here, I have installed other ROMs with success such as Fission and Liberty.
The last few lines of error message in the installer were as follows:
...
Unmounting Systen ...
updatinig radio image ...
assert failed: motorola.update_cdma_bp("/tmp/rdl.bin", "/tmp/bp.img")
E:Error in /sdcard/Monster_2.3.2_Rooted.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
---
The Device being used is a Droid 2 Global with the stock SBF running.
And that is all that I get, this problem has repeated itself many times and I have tried installing the above ROM while having another version and ROM installed both with no success. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to apply that monster.zip file from the Bootstrap Recovery app & choose the option to choose the zipfile?
Do you have it in the root of the /sdcard directory?

[Q] HTC Evo 3D bricked

Hi everyone, so i bricked my phone after rooting it and trying new ROM. Unfortunately i'm a noob and didnt make a backup before.. So now the phone is on loop mode and basically i've tried almost every guide that is out there to unbrick it, still no luck
It gives me installation aborted error message and even if the installation of new rom succeeds, it still keeps on looping :S
Is there a way unbricking it or should i use it as a hammer from now on..
Any help is appreciated, tnx!
EDIT: Maybe it helps to answer, if i write what i've done so far and describe the problem.
It's on the loop mode, which means it doesnt go further than the screen with green htc text. I can bootload and hit recovery with pressing power and down button on same time. Before Fastboot, recovery, factory sheet, simlock and image crc it tells sd checking and "no image". PB31IMG.zip is also on the sdcard and have tried to install that, still abort message..
I've tried with update.zip file, it gives me following error and the end:
file_getprop: failed to stat ''/system/build.prop'' no such file or directory
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted.
Wiped cache, data and etc
Disabled signature verification
Tried with RUU, turned off unnessecary programs, disabled firewall and antivirus.
It gives error [170]:usb connection error.
Yes usb is connected to the pc and phone.
Phone has Revolutionary cwm

What else should i try ? I certanly can't think of anything

Fixed it myself after a 2 day marathon..
1. Put PG86IMG.zip and Virtuous_shooter-v.1.0.1 file on the sdcard..
2. Rebooted to recovery, PG86IMG image started the update.
3. Deleted the zip file from card and rebooted again.
4. Installed Virtuous_Shooter zip file and it started to update system and booted itself
Thats it!
Worked for me

PG86IMG should work almost every time.

Well it did't many many many times.. maybe the file was corrupted or smth

awesome lol.

[Q] Trying to install a new ROM on Sidekick 4G

Okay, so I rooted it with SuperOneClick, and I downloaded everything onto my phone. I boot into recovery mode, and then when I go to click "reinstall packages" I get a message saying "e:failed to verify whole-file signature e:signature verification failed" and for the life of me I can't find information on how to get around that.
I noticed that when I try to boot into recovery, it's using stock recovery instead of Clockwork. How do I fix that?

[Q] CWM: No "reinstall packages" option

I have a rooted stock Rogers Infuse that I restored from a choppy JB installation using instructions from here. I'm trying to install CWM to make a back up image of the the phone before I take a second shot at JB. I followed both methods and the youtube video for CWM and missed around a lot with the "recovery" and "update.zip" files. I'm confused about which one exactly needs to be replaced. I deleted and replaced both files multiple times by now. Anyways my main problem is that I never got that "reinstall packages" option in Android stock recovery, and always end up with the two ugly red errors:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature.
E:signature verification failed.
I noticed that when I place a custom recovery file in root and flash it with "apply update from sdcard" i only get the second error.
I hate to redo the whole odin thing without creating a backup image of the phone first. Any ideas of why I'm not succeeding in getting CWM to work ? Thanks a lot.

[Q] Keeps rebooting to CWM Recovery (Status 7) error

Hi guys -- new to this phone, which i bought unlocked and rooted.
I tried to flash CM 11, and had the zip files on the external sd. When installing the ROM, I get a set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed E: error in .......d2vzwzip (Status 7) Installation aborted error. (Are you only supposed to install from internal SD?)
I now can't get past the Recovery 6.0.1.2 touch interface, and have no backups. I also can't get my phone to connect to PC via USB, even after installing Samsung drivers. Im sure this has been answered elsewhere, but any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I had a similar issue. I cannot flash cm11 because i got a flash error "E:....". I tried latest TWRP and CWM touch/non touch still didn't work. to fix the bootloop i had to flash with odin. even after that can't flash cm11. I have grown to much dislike the sgs3. TW is so clunky and slow.
