My Dev Phone is dead

I am a complete newbie. I tried to update to the ADP1.1, but it error'd out on the boot image. The phone now shows a triangle with and exclamation point and a graphic of a phone. I got advice on another community to try and install update.zip from the sd card. I downloaded the original ADP1 update.zip, and I tried to install. Here is what I got:
Installing from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
installing update
copying files
copying files
formatting BOOT
writing BOOT
E:No space left on device
E:Error writing BOOT
E:Failure at line 8
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img
BOOT
Installation aborted
Thoughts on where to go from here?

No thoughts? Is it now a paperweight?

Please post information regarding your device (brand, model, carrier, OS, etc, etc) That way, we might be able to help you.

I have the Android Dev Phone
Carrier: AT&T
It had the original version ADP1
Tried to update to ADP1.1, but it error'd on the Boot.img portion
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks.

You probably needed to wipe it before flashing it. For the fix, listen to the experts. [here]

I am more than happy to listen to the experts. Any of them have an idea of what to do next?

Any thoughts?

Bricked Phones
Yeah, I do actually. I noticed a thread with the same topic somewhere else and its active. Check this thread out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475244. Leme know if it does not help. Mail me direct if you wish.

I am not sure this helps. The problem I am having is that once I start the update it stall out when trying to write the boot portion saying the phone is out of space. I have wiped the data/cache, but to no avail. Has anyone seen this before?

Mark. I am not ignoring you, I just don't have net access where I live, so unless I get out and come to my favorite parking lot, I can not email. No I have never heard of it either. Some one here should be able to help. I am NOT an expert, but if you want to hear my only idea here it is. Go way back and start by flashing the old rc29 bios on the phone. Then follow the directions to give yourself root access (i know you do not need to do this with a Developer phone), then flash the Jesus Freke's Android developer bios 1.0 then the 1.1. Try and contact Jesus Freke directly. I wish I could help more, but I am really new at this, and with out having your phone to play with, I doubt I could come up with a fix for you.

Is there anyone that can help with this?
Here is the error message I am getting when I try and install the update.zip from the sd card
E:No space left on device
E:Error writing BOOT
E:Failure at line 8
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img

Installation aborted
I have wiped the data, but to no avail. I would really like to get this resolved so I can go back to using my phone. If not, I am more than happy to sell this at a good discount.

[Q] Loop module help please

I'm a little new at this but I have a good feeling that somebody here can help.
My phone doesn't have a loop module built specifically for it yet so I have been trying to improvise. I'm doing this because I want to chroot a ubuntu image. My phone is a Droid 2. I found loop.ko and cryptoloop.ko binaries from a Droid Eris kernal. I extracted them and tried to insmod them and got the error "failed (Exec format error)." The error is supposed to mean the binary is for the wrong architecture. The Eris is supposedly ARMv6. I have run v6 binaries on my phone before.
Basically what I'm asking for is this: I need some way of installing loop modules on my phone. I need either the source of somebody's, or need to figure out what I'm doing wrong in installing these binaries. (Maybe somebody has binaries that will work).

XNPH38R Update error – No computer available

Hey there,
okay so these Oneplus One OTA problems are getting really annoying..
I can't update to 38R:
When trying via OTA:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/cache/.....zip'
E: Error installing zip file 'cache/.....zip'​​(NOT this common error with an .apk or .xml file in the end - because I didn't edit them).
Trying the modified 38R .zip:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/.....zip'​Zip file verification is unchecked.
Things I did to my phone:
Xposed (uninstalled before)
Franco Kernel (uninstalled before)
Freezed some system apps (defrosted before)
Okay now comes the tricky point: I'm backpacking through asia, I barely have computers around and if I do, mostly guest accounts who won't allow to install anything (here: SDK). So the way over fastboot, which (eventually after 10 hours of trial and error) worked for me last time won't be possible here.
Invested WAY too much time again in doing research and downloading tons of Gigabytes with crappy internet speed. Too proud to open a thread. Damn
The one who finds a solution gets a virtual kiss and a cup of tea whenever I meet him. nohomo.

Exactly what build are you currently running? If it's anything but 33R it will fail to install. Also, uninstalling Franco still leaves remnants behind that will cause an OTA to fail. Anyway, long story short, your best option is to download the recovery flashable of 38R to your phone, full wipe, and flash it in TWRP. Job done.

Okay I already guessed that I have to take the pain and do a wipe.. gonna wait with that a few says since 44S came out now.

[Completed] How to reset my HTC One Max

I am a total newbie to Android modifications, and tried to find a way of specifying custom notifications on my HTC One Max. I have later found the application Ringdroid that fixes everything that I needed, but before I did that, I believed that I had to root the phone to achieve this. So, I read a lot of stuff, downloaded a lot of files, messed with adb, clockworkmod, rumrunner etc. without really knowing what I was doing, and in the end gave up, since it didn't look like I managed to root the phone properly after all. But, anyway, I understood that something had changed, since a couple of applications were missing. Anyway, the phone has worked fine since then, until recently, when I got a notice that software update 4.13.401.7, containing Android 5.0 Lollipop, and various other stuff, was ready for installation. So, I downloaded the update, and told it to install. The phone reboots, and then I get the following message:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1
E: Invalid command argument
E: Invalid command argument

Is there a way of letting me a) reset my phone to the default settings, letting me do this upgrade? or b), do this upgrade without resetting it?

[Completed] (Nexus 5) Error 7, made multiple mistakes, "assert" fix isn't working

As I understand, my situation is fairly specific, and so I need to address a few points:
This is my first time rooting a phone- I've made several mistakes but managed, at this point, to avoid bricking my phone
I'm using a Nexus 5, and flashing the pwnphone system (Android Open Pwn Project)
I've followed all the standard steps (except one... see below) for unlocking, rooting, and using TWRP as my recovery
I've also successfully flashed AOPP once, although I made an error I couldn't fix during setup and needed to reinstall
To my stupidity, I forgot to make a Nandroid backup on both attempts
I've just used TWRP to wipe my phone's Dalvik/ART Cache, system, data, and cache, assuming I could reflash the same zip I used before
MD5 check is disabled
Zip validation is disabled
Okay, so let's get down to the heart of the issue now. My phone is sitting here, plugged into my computer, I have a command prompt running, and adb is working properly. I try to flash THE SAME ZIP file I used, just before, to start from a clean slate AOPP install, and now I'm recieving an Error: 7.
I looked up the fixes for this, and ran into a problem: I'm already using the most recent version of TWRP- and I just made an alternate AOPP.zip where I removed the asserts from /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script. I was hoping this would solve my problem, but it didn't.
Now, instead of getting an Error: 7, I'm getting an "invalid zip format" notice with very little other information.
Installing zip file '/sdcard/aoppfix.zip'
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/aoppfix.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have no idea what to do at this point. In my earlier error, I failed to make a Nandroid backup file- and much to my dismay- I can't even find one someone has uploaded elsewhere which I could use to at least have a functioning phone to to boot into.
Can someone please help figure out what my next course of action is?

Hi and welcome to XDA Assist !
I`ve searching and I couldn`t find that rom on the Nexus 5 development forums so it`s hard to figure out what`s the problem
Your attempts to modify that script are courageous but I`m afraid that is more than a script issue
Try to flash a different rom with xda support and you`ll get more info and help , good luck !
