I've searched high and low for a concise, comprehensive set of instructions as to how to reinstall the stock ROM on my Nexus S 4G.
This is the issue I'm running into: I recently installed the latest version of MIUI. (.29.) I'm trying to return to the stock ROM so I can have this device programmed for another account.
Now I downloaded the stock ROM to the root folder of my "SD", renamed it to update.zip and tried to install it to no avail. I also tried this with CM7... No luck. I keep getting an installation aborted error (Status 7).
I'm trying a few more methods, but any insight would be appreciated. I've never experienced this particular issue before in my history of installing ROMs on various devices.
Thanks.

Q!
Apologies if this has already been resolved, I did a search but did not find my exact problem.
I screwed up, I installed the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092332 but I failed to install the GAPPS zip the first time.
So I tried to install it again with gapps but I keep getting a "Verification failed Installation aborted" message.
So then I downloaded the stock HTC ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804692 but I get the same error message.
Can somebody tell me how to either get this ROM to work with gapps or go back to stock? I need to learn to read the entire post before assuming every ROM installs the same.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for your time.
Download the correct gapps package and make sure the download is corrupted.
EDIT: isn't, lol fail
Thanks. I was not able to find a gapps package that worked. I dl'ed a signed version successfully but I couldn't get past the setup screen. It just was not working.
So I went with CM7 instead and I actually like it a lot better. I've got my Google apps and everything's running smooth. Yay for ROMs.
CM7 is very sexy... runs on my Wildfire S but the WIFI is broken on my specific model right now *sadface*
I think your problems lead you in a better direction at least!
I have an HTC One S, rooted and unlocked. I downloaded CM10, attempted to update to it, yes without wiping(my fail) and sent the phone into a bootloop. In my attempts to fix I lost the ability mount the SDCard.
I did this to fix the SDCard and it worked - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459&page=12
I have tried to do the RUU update to bring it back to stock but it failed with error 171, USB Connectivity lost so I abandoned that idea. I did play with drivers, HTC Sync, reinstalls and registry cleanups all to no avail. This is the process I wanted to follow but no luck.....http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/ht...e-your-htc-one-s-back-100-stock-relocked.html
When updating with CM10 it installed VERY quick, like 20ish seconds. This seemed very fast so I thought maybe a different ROM would work and I went with Dark Jelly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848100
No matter what I do I am stuck in the bootloop. Looking for any guidance available of things to try. I have searched all over and tried the solutions that make sense but to no avail.
Fixed
So I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33857020&postcount=2181
delete that file and it booted right up. Have not looked at the Dark Jelly rom to see fi it has that file too but that may have been the issue with the other ROM as well.
Summary - CM10 contains that file that needs to be deleted before upgrading if you have hboot of low versions...I know, not very descriptive but its all in my posts above.
nvm, you got it.
Just a quick heads up to everyone, I was able to fix my issue by SWITCHING TO A NEW SDCARD, I had been using a 64GB SDCARD and I switched to a 2GB SDCARD and I guess that my recovery or my phone couldn't handle such a large card.
It took me about two days to come to this conclusion but after lots of ODIN and reflashing just about everything possible I've decided this was the issue. Also I ran up my flash count a hell of a lot. I hope this helps someone out who may have issues like mine!
Hey all,
Today I decided I would try out a new ROM on my SGS3 so I decided to install the MIUIv5 ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232800
Normally ROM installations go quite smooth for me so I opened up TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I did as I usually do by making a backup and wiping my system and then going to install my ROM. Instead today I got tons of errors saying:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /external_sd/MIUI5_d2vzw_3.4.12.420-signed (1).zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
So, I downloaded the ROM again, but this time from the mirror just in case I had a bad .zip or it didn't transfer to my SDCARD correctly, but then I started getting more and more errors.
Instead of getting a bad zip error I got the following:
Code:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/'
I guess this means it can't find my root partition?
Now all of a sudden I can't find my backups and I am just stuck without a ROM and I only have a recovery... quite inconvenient, also I can't flash any ROMS as I tried flashing some others but they didn't work at all no matter what I did and I am just running in circles... any help is GREAT APPRECIATED as I would love to have a functional phone by tomorrow.
I am fairly fluent with android and linux systems as well as computers in general so I should be able to provide any helpers with almost all information needed relative to my device, but sadly this whole issue has really stumped me.
Thanks so much!

Have you tried flashing with Odin?
I know a lot of people swear by twrp but for me I always seemed to have issues. I had a similar issue you are having when I finally flashed cwm again. I was able to fix my issue by odin.

Thanks for both of your replies, I decided just to revert back to stock and I am in the process of re-obtaining root and such and then I am going to try to flash again just using recovery... by flashing by odin do you mean flashing a ROM or flashing back to stock?
FIXED! Read OP
I'm on 4.4 right now and I just reviewed the ota but when it finished downloading, it went stock recovery and just said "error". Obviously I was pissed so I then went the adb root but that wouldn't work either. Something about it not being able to find "update.zip" when it is clearly in the same folder. After that I decided to flash a custom recovery, not clockwork but the other one. Whenever I try to go that route it still says it failed. I have been looking at posts and none have helped so far.
I am rooted, I don't have busybox/xposed, I am using art. I read something about having to have all of the stock apps. I had a modded playstore on here but I didn't work so I re-download one and installed it, could that have anything to do with my problems? And if so, where can I find another playstore app?
also, this is what it says in the custom recovery: /system/framework/core-libert. Jar unexpected E:Error executing updater in zip I tried googling but to no avail.
That modded play store might have changed some system files that prevent the update. You can try flashing one of the stock 4.4.2 Roms available in the android development forums. I used the one by bigxie.

Try what the guy who replied to me said, it worked for me
[Q] Trouble updating to XNPH30O - apply_patch_check(" /system/xbin/powertop"
I am rooted with TWRP recovery and no other modifications. Received the XNPH30O update downloaded and attempted to install but I receive the following error:
apply_patch_check(" /system/xbin/powertop" , "50fdb5315765f12a72779840c45d067620f47339" , "dcbc90a8f63554761c85e859cf531af3a3d390b0")
I cant seem to find any information about this specific error other than on the OPO forums there are people that experience similar error but they'll be in a different part of the system. I saw someone that had similar error but in /system/framework/com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar. I searched around and found that my /system/xbin/powertop could be caused by the browser.apk in the OTA file. But I dont understand why I would have this issue and others that are also rooted with custom recovery wouldnt.
I tried to wipe dalvic and cache with no go and even tried to fix permissions with no go. Any help/insight would be appreciated.
