[Q] Stuck installing DarkyROM

New to the forums and flashing ROMs in general, so please forgive my n00b-fail. (I did, at least, search the forums for an answer first. )
Samsung Infuse 4g
AT&T
Was running stock ui, rooted
Was able to flash and restore to factory using Odin (following Jordan's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160)
Took file DarkROM_JVR_Infuse_10.3.rar and unpacked
Repacked using .zip format
Placed .zip on internal SD
Rebooted to CWM Recovery and wiped data/factory reset as well as cache
Selected install from zip on sd card
Selected DarkyROM_JVR_Infuse_10.3.zip
Screen currently says:
"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix
-- Installing: SDCARD: DarkyROM_JVR_Infuse_10.3.z
ip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update..."
Been stuck like that for the past hour. Have I bricked my phone? Should I go back and follow the "UnBrick the UnBrickable Infuse4g" thread?
Thanks.

Umm....darky rom. Rar? ??? I did not pack it in rar or tar format...that's your prob....its pack as a cwm flashable zip

Thank you for your response.
I'm now aware that, as you put it, "...that's my problem."
I'm not sure why the file downloaded as a .rar file. Is there a specific extension to the package process that changes the code? Would not unpacking and repacking as a zip do the same thing?

After "playing with it," I got the phone to launch back into the stock ROM. So. Thanks to myself, on that one.
Problem solved.

Are u sure the file u downloaded was a .RAR file ? or it looked like pile off books that why u calling it a .RAR file ?

If you want I recreated DarkyRomV10.3.zip which is of course flashable in CWM, It has 2 fixes that the original DarkyRom doesn't have.
Darky Rom Fixes:
Dman's Build.Prop Fix
Bigfau's Battery Notification Fix

Installation:
1 DOWNLOAD DARKY ROM

Inorder to fix the Superuser Update you will need to flash the SU Binary Update Fix

@rkkaranrk - Very good idea, but no. I actually didn't have a program that could decompress .rar files on the system I was using. I downloaded a copy of WinRAR specifically for that.
@Axiomkid - Thank you. I'm going to try it when I get home. Now that I've had the oportunity to play around with some of the backup apps, I'm much more confident to try new ROMs.

@Axiomkid - This is a silly question, I'm sure, but how do I flash the superuser update? Do I need to?

Flash in CWM. You should flash it as it will keep superuser up to date.

Winrar makes the zip file looks like RAR so the file u downloaded was very much a zip file.

Help please! Phone wont boot. Need adb expert.

Hey all. I did something silly and deleted a file in system/bin folder while troubleshooting a problem. I made a backup of the file before deleting it in sdcard/download but my phone wont boot so I can copy the backup file back to system/bin. I am able to get my phone into download mode and I believe I could copy the file via adb. However I do not know how to get adb to recognize the phone in download mode. I type...
adb devices
and it states "List of devices attached" and there is nothing under the list but when I plug my phone via USB it shows "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" in device manager so I know my pc is recognizing it. I have used adb before with batch files like 1click root and things like that so I know its just me not knowing the right commands to get my device recognized.
Any and all help is appreciated! I just need to copy 1 file from sdcard/download to system/bin and I would assume it would boot back up with no problem!
Thanks!

do u have cwm installed?

I just installed CWM v5.5.0.4 via download mode using this method. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/skyrocket-root-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery/
So now that I am in CWM I am trying to mount things like /system and it shows an error mounting /sdcard and I get that error messaging for mounting all except mount usb storage which works great. I was however able to get the file off my phone but now how do I get the file back to system/bin?

Yes.. you can (and really should) flash CWM from download mode via your PC/laptop. A few weeks ago I did something very similar and soft-bricked my SR by renaming an in-use file (framework-res.apk)... I also only had 3e, so couldn't just restore a nandroid or flash a rom zip. Go to the Dev section and find the thread by Copperhed ("Root the ATT SGH-I727 Skyrocket..."). read through the OP and follow instruction exactly. You will be Odin3 flashing just the CWM recovery partition... this will NOT trip your flash counter. If you are already rooted, you should retain root... if not, you can root via his OP. After you have CWM recovery, there's a way you can mount the sdcard so you can transfer files between your PC and SR... then, you can put the sbin file back and see if it reboots fine... if not, with CWM installed, you can flash (via zip.. not Odin) any rom/kernel/modem zip package you want.

Even though I installed CWM from a different source I thanked you anyways DoctorQMM! Now that I have CWM installed how to I transfer the file from my pc to the system/bin directory? I have been able to mount usb storage and it show up as a drive on my pc but when I mount /system nothing shows up. What am I missing?
Thanks for all your help! I am almost there! ^_^

hey, I recommended it first . Seriously though, download a kernel from the dev section, any kernel. Open it up in winrar, winzip, etc... and delete everything except the system folder. Now take the bin file u copied to ur computer and put it in a folder called bin. Put this bin in the kernel zip inside the system folder. Now delete everything else in the system folder. Put this file on a microsd, slip it in ur phone and flash it through cwm. this will put the bin back, and allow u to reboot phone

JDub... PM cdshepherd.... he's the one who shared with me you can use the mounts and storage option in cwm (then click "mount USB storage")... then you can copy files between your sd and computer without having to do what I did (which was pull external sd out of SR, mount in micro adapter, plugged into laptop and loaded files on the sd... then put sd back in phone.. booted into CWM and flashed the rom zip I put on there). Yes.. you are close! If you can't get that one file back to sbin on root, you could try to flash a stock rom/kernel zip (KK1 or LA3)... you only need to put that rom/kernel zip on your sd or external sd so CWM will see it.

icenight89 your right you provided the inspiration so I thanked you as well and appreciate the explanation. I will perform it now and see where I get. Let me understand this correctly in steps..
1. Download a kernel, any kernel.
2. Open it up, delete everything except the system folder.
3. Create a folder named bin and put the backed up file in the bin folder.
4. Delete everything else within the system folder except the bin file and bin folder. So it should be /system/bin/xxx.file
5. Put this on a microsd card and flash it through cwm. I assume I do this by selecting "install zip from sdcard?"
Thanks for the continual help! ^_^

I am having trouble with the kernel part. I downloaded a i727 kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340114&page=2. Opened it up and it has boot.img in it. Am I missing something?

Alright. I downloaded the kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?85g701ate11zdc9. The kernel contained a folder named system and deleted everything else. I then added the folder bin and added the backed up file I deleted to the system/bin/ directory. I then mounted usb storage via CWM and put the new .zip in there. I then selected "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from internal sd card" located the zip file and selected "yes." I then get the following read outs...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
--Installing: /emmc/sgh-1727-skyrocket-att-original-kernel_2.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
So it looks like it is not installing. Am I doing something wrong?

wrong kernel, download this one:
http://faux.androidro.ms/sky-kernel-010b1.zip
delete everything from in there except system folder, including boot.img, and follow instructions again, should work

Are you sure I can just delete and add stuff like that and It will work? I mean it makes sense to me but since it keeps aborting there may be something crucial missing that I need to keep in the .zip file. Any ideas?

download a rom from Dev section. Doesn't matter which one. Try silvers rom you'll like it. Mount USB storage in cwm. Copy rom to sd. Eject SD from computer. Go back to main menu in cwm. Wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache partition. Wipe dalvik cache(under advanced in cwm) format system under mounts and storage. Back to main menu in cwm. Install zip from sdcard. Choose zip(rom) you just placed on your SD. Flash it. Reboot device. Enjoy. And make a nandroid after it boots for the first time.

Did you make a cwm backup of rom you were using prior to this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

No, I did not make a nandroid backup. I had to install CWM from download mode and then I was able to get into CWM all without booting.
I appreciate your time in writing a solution however I am not interested in wiping everything and starting from scratch which is what your proposing. I simply deleted a file in system/bin named mediaserver so system/bin/mediaserver. When I rebooted the phone would not boot. I made a backup of the mediaserver before deleting it and placed it in the sdcard/download folder. All I need to do is copy the mediaserver file back to system/bin/ directory and phone should boot backup as if nothing ever happened. That's is how I understand it. Its just missing a file and I know what the file is and I have the file I just need to figure out how to copy it back over to where it belongs.
I do know how to install stock and other roms but after spending numerous hours on my first phone, SGS Captivate, to experience others roms like Darky's Rom the end result was that it was not worth me having to keep up with all the releases and bug fixes, loading in working kernels to make things work correctly and the like. I would rather just stick with stock. Its just a personal preference.
If anyone knows how to copy a file from my pc or from internal sdcard to my Skyrocket using Download mode or ClockWorkMod using any means but without wiping my data please let me know. Eventually if I do not get a solution I will be forced to revert back to the stock rom but I would rather leave that as a last resort.
I look forward to any other suggestions!
Thank you!

Without the ability to push/pull with adb your running out of solutions. I do hope that you get your skyrocket up and running no matter what method you use. And I do hope that someone with the ability comes along to help you. My way is prob the easy way out. If it were me ide cut my losses. Start from scratch, and try to figure out where my prob starts. Good news is there is a great community with plenty of help. Good luck mate.

Since my zip suggestion didn't work, try flashing a different kernel, romracer stockish 0.3 is a good choice, from cwm

Based on your first post, I don't think your pc is FULLY installed your device. Download mode requires additional drivers.........adb devices should return a serial number.
I have not tried adb on my skyrocket...I will do that for your sake and reply with my experience..

[Q] Error updating to 1.78.401.2

I tried to update my 1.53.401.2 to the latest OTA 1.78.401.2.
But with the normal Android OTA method, it gives me an error that it can't find the 7digital3.0.apk file. Of course it can't find it. I deleted it. But I didn't make a backup of it before deleting it
So I tried to copy the OTA zip to the "internal SD card", rename it to update.zip and flash it with CWM Recovery. This also doesn't work. It tells me, that I have a wrong CID (HTC__102).
Could anyone be so kind to upload the 7digital3.0.apk (and .odex) from the 1.53 rom?
Thanks!

Here you go mate, extract it and you will find the files you need...
If the OTA doesnt work, and flashing in recovery fails, open the .zip and modify the android-info.txt to match your CID..
if you dont know your CID, boot into fastboot and using adb type in ''fastboot getvar cid'' Without quotes

There should be an option to have the updater just skip whatever it can't find or which throws up inconsistencies with the DIFF updating...

I just did that now... Modifying the update script and skip updating the pre-installed apps that i deleted. ReZipped, signed, put on sd card, install from cwm recovery.
EDIT: Everything works except the SystemUi.apk... I had the 1% battery mod.
EDIT2: I reinstalled the correct SystemUI.apk by flashing the stock battery SystemUI.apk for 1.78, but since it crashed the first time, it won't start anymore at boot... Anyone knows how to fix that?

same problem, other apk...

[Q] Problem in installing my custom rom made through android kitchen

I am getting and error when flashing my custom rom which i made through android kitchen. i am a beginner to this.
Error is like:
Error in update.zip
(status 0)
Installation aborted
Can anyone help me on this?

I'm not 100% sure, but I have a feeling that may be related to an incorrect update-binary in the ZIP. Try downloading another Explorer ROM and copying the update-binary from it into your ZIP, replacing the one that's there already. It's located like this within the ZIP: META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
EDIT: You don't have to download a full ROM btw, any recovery flashable ZIP should do, e.g. one of the custom kernels such as Cranium (smaller download than a full ROM)

Thanks

Is there any other way to check the rom working or not without using it in my explorer, maybe using an emulator in windows 7? if there is an easy way then pls help me on this.

Let me explain you clearly what i am doing.
1. I extraced rom.zip file from HTC Explorer RUU.
2. I placed it in original_update folder in android kitchen.
3. I set up a working folder from android kitchen menu and i got these files and folders in WORKING folder
boot.img
system
META-INF
4. I selected the option 99 in kitchen menu that is Building a ROM.
5. After successful completion i got a zip file in OUTPUT folder.
6.Then, i copied that update.zip file from OUTPUT folder to my sd card.
7. Now, i boot into recovery, and try to install zip from sd card but it shows an error like this
Error in sd-card/update.zip

I have no idea what you're doing wrong. But I don't think you have tried my suggestion from earlier in the thread.
Take the final update.zip file you have (the one you put on the SD card and try to install), and open it using an archive manager such as 7zip. Navigate into META-INF/com/google/android and delete the file "update-binary" that is located there. Then replace it with this one: http://d.pr/f/VHF1
Close 7zip, copy the ZIP to your SD card and try to install it in recovery.

Well, 7 > 0, therefore it's better
In all seriousness, I think this means it's probably getting further than before, but there's some other problem with the ROM. I don't know the various status error codes, I just recognized 0 as one I'd come across before. I'm afraid I can't be of any further assistance I don't think.
EDIT: From here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30415128#post30415128
Solution:- One or some of the prerequisite requirement for the needed upgrade is missing or corrupted . So you may need to identify and replace that requirement for the installation to continue. Most likely could be due to wrong bootloader, wrong CWM, Wrong IMEI, Wrong Radio etc

I think this is the error....
When you setup a working folder then change your updater-script to update script... ( search for the option to change it) if you want to make some changes in update-script Do so and then build your rom... the update-script will automatically be changed to updater-script .. now place the rom and flash.. If any problem feel free to ask :thumbup:

Current OTA Update for US tablets

I posted this in the "General" forum and didn't get any response, so I thought I would post it here. I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this.I figured may Moscow Desire, Vorbeth, or someone else may have a suggestion. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
"I have my tab rooted and bootloader unlocked. I used OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot. The OTA update downloaded and attempted to install but failed. I downloaded the update again and saved it to my extra SD card. I then used CWM recovery to attempt installation again. Failed again. I am thinking that maybe the unlocked bootloader or CWM is causing the failure. Anybody have any ideas or input? Thanks!"

delete the first line in updater-script and it should work
if not than it´s possible that your not on the right version or you have to remove all check line´s and install then
please upload and post the update here for other users which are not able to download it. thx

How do you save the update to the external SD? I only get the option to download, and the file seems quite hidden from me.

Where is the OTA update stored at- read this to find out

You can save the download by choosing the "Later" option when prompted to install. Then you can go to the root directory of the device to the \cache\fota_dn directory and the update will be there. From there you can copy it and save it elsewhere on your eternal-SD card of wherever. if you choose to "Install now" option, and the update fails, the OTA update is not left in the \cache directory.
I always choose to "Install later" so I can keep a copy of the OTA update. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply, but I think this is a little beyond my skillset level and I don't want to mess something up! I'm not sure how I cna upload the OTA update to this forum, but if you tell me, I will be glad to do it!

http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/40506917/file.html
That's the original OTA file. I'm not comfortable editing anything.
Thanks, bidniss for letting me know how to catch those OTA files.
EDIT:
Okay, I edited my updater-script (not the file above) and tried to install from CWM. Failed at "apply_patch_check("/system/app/LinkToFacebook.odex".)" with a big string of numerals and letters. I assume mine failed because I have deleted the Facebook link. Will try to restore it on my system and attempt update again.
Recovered my app backups and tried to install update again. This time it failed at "apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko" ...). No clue what that is, but after a quick search I found it has to do with wifi? and is in the kernel..Which I'm running the modified version of....So...Dang.
Screw it..Figured while I was already tinkering I might as well just install CM10. It's pretty sweet, by the way.

i will download it and remove all the checks, than you can try again, so i did it some time ago

if your on the wrong version it MAY be you screw up your sys because it looks like the file checks didn´t match.
did you do any patch before the OTA Update?

No patches. I am on the OTA JB version Acer_AV051_A700_RV09RC08_PA_CUS1 Build number: Acer_AV051_A700_1.034.00_PA_CUS1
My tablet has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. The update fails. I am turning off the root with OTA Rootkeeper. I get a message that says, "failed to verify whole-file signature"
"signature verification failed"
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name")=="a700_pa_cus1"
"Error in /cache/acer_ug/update.zip"
I am using CWM v6.0.1.5 to install the update.
Does this shed any light that may help?- Thanks!

"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name")=="a700_pa_cus1"
this is first line in updater, if you remove, this error shoul not aplly again
if other check errors apear then you have to remove all of the checks, like i did in the updater-script, which i added in my post.
else try to disable verification check in CWM
and also look here and try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810687

Thanks for the info! My update.zip is on my Windows 8 PC and I may have to move it to my Win 7 PC because winzip is not allowing me to extract the files so I can "copy & paste" the updater-script file you posted. If there is a simpler way to do it, please let me know and thanks again!

use 7zip or winrar, open the zip und C&P the file into it
or long way, extract all , do modify and then repack all files an folders INSIDE the extractet/modified folder, NOT the folder AND it´s content
your also able the open inside the winrar window the script and change it with Notepad++
EDIT::
aaaaah wait:
if your not able to open it, you have to decrypt it with acer decrypter first, then it´s an "real" zip

Thanks! I updated my Winzip and proceeded as directed. Update successful! I really don't see much difference in performance but if I do I will post what I fins. Thanks again!

I've moved this back to general, that's where it belongs. Development is strictly for ROM's, mods and kernels only.
