[Q] How to's = Road block and dead end! Semi Bricked G2. E:Cant open / HTC stuck, etc

How to’s = DEAD ENDS or Road Blocks for my G2. PLEASE HELP!!
Let me just start from the beginning...
1st off..what I WAS running / am running or currently have on G2 :
Clockworkmod V3.0.0.5 (Was running Cyanogen Mod 7 RC1 when the crash and problems started)
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
EMMC-boot
Sept 2 2010 17:59:38
Okay, a few weeks ago I used ADB to manually achieve S-OFF. Was not able to achieve S-OFF thru terminal emulator, kept having su-bin issues. After S-OFF I successfully downloaded CyanogenMod 7. Flashed the new rom just fine and was running well until I started doing some downloading on the Market of different CyanogenMod Live Wallpapers / widgets, etc. After a certain download, phone froze, I rebooted and at start up I was only able to get the white HTC screen.
This is when the research on the forums and the” how to’s” began…
Booted in recovery and error message is as follows :
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5
E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can’t open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can’t open /cache/recovery/last_log
**YES I did back everything up after I achieved S-OFF, so not sure why having this issue.
Reading more forums and others who have had similar issues I then concluded it would be best to try and downgrade back to stock rom with no success. Issues / error messages are as followed :
Downloaded the stock_root.zip from forum and put on root of sd card, when I try and install zip from sd card in CWM phone is reading the following :
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Installing update…
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to ClockworkMod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
So then tried the PC10IMG.zip in CWM and am getting the following error messages :
--Installing /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip
Finding update package
E: Can’t open /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip (bad)
Installating aborted
Last try was applying the update.zip file from forum to root of sd card and when trying to install that in CWM I am getting the following :
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update package
File_getprop: failed to stat /system/build prop
E: Error in/sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
EVERYTHING KEEPS FAILING!! LAST couple things…
When I restart in HBOOT …

Recovery Fails To Load any file from SD Card

Hi,
hoping that someone can help me with a puzzler. I have a Sensation xe and I used Revolutionary to carry out S OFF and recovery. Now, I can go into the Bootloader and run recovery but whenever I try to install a zip file I get the following error:
Installing: /sdcard/filename xxxx.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/filename xxxx.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Now, MD5 checksums are ok. I've even swapped out sd cards with no success.
I've toggled off the signature verification. It doesn't seem to matter what file I use, the same error happens.
The recovery version is 4.0.14
Anyone out there recognise this error and have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Drew

Change to Clockwork Recovery 5020.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Coredroid XE 2.7

Thanks. I solved my problem by installing 5.0.0.8 which done the trick.

seems weird!

[Q] Energy ROM install faild

Hi,
I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G with Clockwork Recovery installed, I tried to install the Energy ROM following the steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290300
I've followed the steps carefully and the installation fails...
In the instructions post says: use the download link in post #3, I've downloaded the file twice and verified the MD5 with MD5 Checker and are different...
The error message when installig says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/Energy_11.23.2011.EVO4G.zip (bad)
Installation aborted.
Any help?
Thanks in advance...

copy the rom again to your sd card and if it says the same thing try redownloading

*** ( solved ) ***
Thanks for answering...
After a lot of searching I have solved the problem, formatting the sd card in fat32 format on my pc, copying again the zip rom and when I tried again to install it and no problem
Thanks!
(I've downloaded the lastest version of the ROM Energy 11.23.2011)
*** ( SOLVED ) ***

Not able to flash roms

Since this morning I'm not able to flash roms in ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150)
I get this message:
-- Installing: /sdcard/aokp_wingray_build-25.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/aokp_wongray_build-25.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
This happens no matter which rom I try to flash. What could be the reason?

please verify your download by comparing md5 checksums. If you use root explorer, you can long-press the file and click properties, it will calculate that checksum for you. If you don't have an app to create checksums, please put the micro-sd card into your computer and use an application to do so on your computer. Compare that md5-checksum to the one provided by whoever you downloaded that rom from. If it doesn't match -> there's your problem. If it does match, something else is probably wrong.

You still have the stock recovery installed. You have to flash that zip with a custom recovery. Install TWRP or CWM and give it another go.

got twrp

I got twrp installed it just won't go into boot recovery so do you know the manual button combo for twrp?
Can't seem to get into twrp reboot just goes to stock recovery even on manual

Just a thought... when you flash a stock image you will lose root. Even though the Goomanager looks like it is installing the twrp it wont work without root. Check your root status through Titanium or rootkeeper etc. Sometimes the debug method seems to tell you that you have root when none of the programs are getting root access.
