Corrupted zip file. delete the zip files and redownload them on your PC or over wifi on the phone and do an md5sum check on them.

What are you trying to flash? Could be an issue with the installation script (amend/edify). Does it error out with a status code?

the original file I had didnt have an apk
Isn't it a paid app? Did you get it from the market? And then are you SURE you got it from the market?

When your using CWM Recovery always make sure you have the latest update. Otherwise it starts to do weird stuff. So just make sure and update it. Also you might want to think about TWRP Recovery, WAY BETTER then CWM. More options, and very user friendly .

there is a donate version, and a free version, before it was listed on the market though it came in a zip folder, I've been trying to get things to flash anyway so I thought I'd try it

Noob help Just wondering if rom managers one click rom install works on the g2x. I'm a noob and don't feel comfortable doing the one click backup
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
yes works great, once you download you have to move it to your SD card.
also when its finish downloading i suggest that you do everything from the recover menu instead of letting rom manager do it. make sure to back up your current rom, then wipe data and cache, then install from zip from sd card.
you gotta get the one click nvflash method installed What hte previous poster didn't tell you is that if something goes wrong w/ Rom manager, you're totally hosed.
Get the Nvflash method on there.. then run rom manager all you want.. at least you have a way out if something arises..

Quick question, I did the NVFlash to install the CWM but when I first try to use the ROM Manager it says that I need to install it again? Is this right?
While trying to manually flash CWM it gives me error -1 wtf does that mean? Ive done this process a million times on 6 different phones and have never seen this.. any suggestions?
Flash it through Rom manager?

Please expand this and add a little context; namely, what method are you using that's failing?

Flashing through ROM Manager is what is known as a fake flash.. I need a hard flash.

I am using the terminal method. flash_image recovery recovery.img
that is the same method as I have used every other time.
I just flashed CMR 5.0.2.0 through ROM Manager last night. verified it just now using vol down + pwr and 5.0.2.0 is what came up. is my phone tricking me? or did fake flash get fixed/changed?
bumping this thread back up, every time i open RM it says there's a new version of CWM so i download it over wifi and it installs but never changes on screen. i just rebooted into recovery and its saying im using v5.0.2.0 but like the last post said is this thing tricking me and saying its really updated or what?
I gave up on Rom manager a long time ago. I have 4ext recovery now. But to throw my posts relevance in there, I just opened Rom manager and it says I have the latest version installed right now when the reality is quite distant from that.
Doesn't really answer your question... But Rom manager is definitely flawed....

I am flashing gapps as I speak...
Downloaded gapps and flashed but do not see any differance and do no see how to download any games. What did I do wrong? I followed all of the prompts... No luck...
If you did everything the right way you should see either "Market" or "Play Store" in your app drawer. Did you flash the gapps for ICS?
I flashed the gapps for rom wildchild through goomanager. Did I miss something?

Wow!!! Thats nice! I do not have that.... What rom do you use?
The gapps .zip file is supposed to be flashed through ClockworkMod Recovery.
OK. When I flashed the updates and the gapps, it takes me to clockwork recovery. Do I look for the zipfile from the sd card? Or is it an update flash from the sd card? I know I must be doing something wrong. But I am very close!!! I was just rebooting my phone from clockwork recovery thinking the update and gapps were flashed already...
I found out what I did wrong. I was not flashing correctly. I was supposed to find the goomaneger file and flashed from that. Flashed the first update corectly...
Now I have to fine what gapps to flash... Seems like I should start from the oldest to the newest? Some will take and some dont... Is it hit and miss????

Thank you. This is my first use of a custom rom. I have been playing around with this for about a month. I wound up buying a back up phone "Samsung Galaxy S 4g" for 98 cents for a backup. Rooted that with no problem. Did not put a rom on it yet until I get my Doubleshot running right... This is fun. I am hooked. Thanks to everybody for their help. I am HOOKED!!!! Will keep you posted....:good:
Everything is working... Got the market. Thank you very much for all of your help. Soooo... S3 or HTC1????
I tried to install the newest CM10 nightly on my NS4G and I keep getting a Status 7 error. This also happened when I tried to install MIUI.
This is usually caused by a corrupt download, or bad file signature. Re-downloading (or re-signing) the ZIP will usually fix this
Alright I will re download it when I get home.

Make sure your Clockworkmod Recovery is up to date too. Some very old versions will give you that.

Ah ha! Happens to the best of us.
Hi, I want to switch from CWM to TWRP.
I tried flashing TWRP on SGH-T989 before but I started from unrooting my phone then root it (just flashed TWRP instead of CWM and flash SuperSU)
I would like to know if I can just flash TWRP using ODIN on this phone if I'm currently using CWM 5.0.x.x?
Please let me know.
Thank you

Why go through that trouble when you can just download goo. Manager app in the playstore and install from there?

You dont flash anything. You open goo manager hit menu and press "install open recovery script" it will open up directly to the right file for skyrocket recovery and then download and automatically install. Simple
But before you do anything now on.. Read this thread about how to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622917 so you dont do something bad.

Hi, my bad I just used the wrong word. I did exactly what you said above but goomanager just keep force closing / just stuck there and nothing happened. That's why I flashed it on Odin with my SGH-T989 because the same thing happened.
Is there any other easy methods?

That's as easy as it gets man. Must be user error if it's happening on 2 different phones. Works fine for everyone else.

So in this case can I just flash it with Odin?
Or should I unroot the phone and start from 0?

If there's a tar file for twrp sure, make sure it's the right file.
I don't know what Rom you're on or what you're doing, but I know the open recovery install works and its very easy to do.
