[Q] Trouble upgrading to Gingerbread - General Questions and Answers

I'm getting an error when I try and ugprade my Android version. I'll start with the history and spec first:
Google Nexus One, bought in April 2010, it had Eclair (2.1) on it. I wanted Froyo 2.2 (for the hotspot/tethering) but the update delays being what they were I ended up rooting it, getting clockworkmod, and installing CyanogenMod 6 (based on 2.2). It's been the same ever since and I've been happy with it. It's only because a month or two ago it stopped being able to update any of the apps that I'm even wanting to upgrade, otherwise I'd be happy with CM6. I can no longer update or even search for apps. If I can't go back to plain Android because I've gone CyanogenMod, that's fine, I'll just go for a newer version of it.
I'm not wanting to live on the bleeding edge with ICS4 on this old-timer (yes I've heard it runs but with bugs), so if I can, I'll go for a plain vanilla Gingerbread 2.3.3.
I downloaded 2.3.3 from here and renamed it update.zip and put it in the root of my SD card. I shut the phone down and then followed the instructions I found here.
It seemed like it would be easy, but I'm getting this error after choosing "Apply sdcard: update.zip". After the error I show two screenshots of how I got to that point.

For anyone with the same issue, you could have posted the solution here.Dont promote other sites.
I think the problem was with the file.
Sometimes the browsers get bugged and they dont download the whole package.
I have had this error a couple of times and re-downloading the rom fixed the solution.

HELP ! What after rooting???

Hello,
I have rooted my HTC Tattoo using universalAND root app. I want to know what can i do after rooting it?? and also if i want to install froyo 2.1 on it how do i do it ?
also will it work on my tattoo ?
Just search for Android Froyo 2.1 in Android Market and push the Update Button....
Wtf search the forums if you know nothing!
Yeah dude he's right do some research.. its not that hard.
I'l give you a quick list of what you can do:
Apps2SD (store apps on SD card)
CPU Overclocking (self explanatory0
FLASH A CUSTOM ROM (I highly recommend that is what you search for first)
Wireless Tethering (share internet connection with your PC)
And lots, lots more...
Your first point of research should most definitely be Flashing a Custom Rom.
But seriously how hard is it to just search google?
@ xtcislove : sorry for being so lazy...actually i was searching for things before posting this..but got really confused half way. thanks for your advice.
@ Android001 : thank you for the starting points..will get to it soon.
no problem..
you do realise he was joking about the market and update thing, you cant do that
yes... well i managed to root my tattoo with universaland root. installed titanium backup. its asking for busybox. when i try to do adb i keep getting an error. i searched the forums for an answer, but they r not helping. m attaching an image if u can just go through it and let me know what can de done..it will be gr8.

I cant see any picture?
I don't know much about the Tattoo because i use a Hero..
For BusyBox i know that it comes built in with most Custom Roms, I know for a fact that it comes with all Villain and Cyanogen Roms.
I think there is an application on the market that I have seen before that attempts to install BusyBox.. but that isn't guaranteed to work.
Does it not just install when Titanium Backup gives you the option to?
And why don't you just flash a Rom then you wont have all this trouble.
Okay a little bit i tell you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=544
Here you should have a look first.
1. Install a Recovery Image
2. Install a Custom ROM
3. Modify your Phone personally but carefully! Do not so much at the system and do not download things of other Phone Section´s!

Unable to boot into Clockwork Recovery on Nexus S

Hi all,
You may need to bare with me a little with all of this, I'm extremely new to it all.
I picked up my Nexus S on Monday after previously owning an iPhone and then a Windows Phone 7 handset, firstly I have to say that I can't believe I didn't get an Android phone sooner - they're leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in my opinion and offer a much better!
With the help of a set of instructions I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery to use Clockwork 3.0.0.5, from there I was able to install Superuser from the ZIP to root the device.
Everything is working and rooted but whenever I try and get into the Clockwork recovery it keeps chucking me into the standard recovery, I've tried from the bootloader and from ROM manager.
The problem I have is that I can't backup my ROM because it just takes me to the standard recovery and sits there.
I had a look around but couldn't find anything relating to this on the forum.
There was mention of something called 'sgs kernel flasher' but it states it wont run on Gingerbread which I'm running.
Any ideas?
If you have any questions of something I may have missed out I can answer those!
Sosmething very similar to me recently. I just reflashed the clockwork recovery via adb/fastboot and works like a champ now.

Thanks for the help guys, as I said I'm quite new to all this so sadly the thread title:
"Q about cwm 3.0+ and 2.3.2"
Didn't quite stick out to me!
Problem sorted now though, all backed up and new ROM installed - happy days!

[ROM][Sep 07, 201][ICS][Official] Downloading US version now

This morning I was checking the update for my GT-P2610. Low and behold, it is now downloading the official version of ICS now.:victory:
Edit: Kudos to Samsumg, It kept my root.

I think it's the same one that is available at sammobile. But it's cool to hear that it's now available as an OTA and that your root was kept
I was wondering if you noticed if there is a difference between the size & amount of space ics takes up after you updated from honeycomb to this ics? I was wondering if I'll have to make sine space for the update. I'm also wondering if you know if it'll reinstall any system apps (the apps that come preinstalled with the tablet) that have been uninstalled or if it'll just update to ics & leave everything else alone like it's supposed to. Sounds hopeful if it kept your root!

You mean re-installing bloatware apps during ICS upgrade? I think I saw a forum post saying that it was "recommended" to reinstall any removed bloatware app before attempting the ICS upgrade(maybe I did read wrong), I suggest to look at those post first just to be sure.
My OTA update failed... Must be due to root, titanium update, etc. Had to go the Kies route. Kies installer would not run on windows 7... Tried downloading multiple times with 3 different browsers... Same result...program too big to fit in memory!
Finally had to download kies installer to tab, changed extension to zip, emailed the zip to my laptop, changed zip back to exe, and wallah... Successful install ok kies!
Then used kies to upgrade to ICS. Talk about a round-a-bout method!
But ICS up and running. Going to try using Chrome browser.

Verizon Galaxy Tab 7 Encryption Unsuccessful - Desperate!

I was using the AOSP ICS build posted by jt1134 (at rootzwiki dot com/topic/11697-rom-cdma-aosp-ics-cm9-build101-0418/) for the Galaxy Tab CDMA. The first couple of nightlies worked OK on the tablet, but the camera never worked right. Someone else insisted that the camera works correctly on new builds, so they suggested I use CWM to wipe system, and I took it to mean wipe everything so as to start from scratch, and I wiped /data too. Apparently this triggered the emmc erase bug or something, so now my internal SD is useless.
Nobody over in that thread appears to be willing to make a build that works around the issue. I've already tried partitioning my SD card and editing vold.fstab and updater.rc inside the ROM, but these are apparently useless unless init.rc in the boot image (zimage I guess) is changed. A person attempted that but seems to have gotten the filesystem type wrong in the build (ext2 instead of ext4), and is unwilling to make another attempt. I don't know anything about compiling a custom ROM myself. I've looked into decompressing/recompressing the zimage, but it's too much for me.
What I'm asking here is, can anyone help get a build of ICS to me that I can flash, that will ignore the internal SD and use the external? This site is awash with reports and fixes for Encryption Unsuccessful for other phones and tablets, so I'm hoping somene here can understand my frustration. I haven't been able to use the tablet for over a month now, I think, and I'm not getting anywhere on my own. TIA
Why not ask this great forums section for your device...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1081
And which thread are you referring to...the thread at the other site....? I bet if you present your question or request here at the XDA for your device you will get an answer. Thank you.

How to flash back to stock software on D6603 - Bell Canada?

Hi folks, I've been updating my phone using the latest rom I can find on this site for my rooted (bootloader unlockable) Bell mobility D6603
One of the things that has been driving me crazy is that I always see the notification that a new software update is available but it can never 'verify' the software for me to download it. So I end up trying to find the equivalent on here which is getting really annoying. Also I'm thinking of selling this phone so I would like to find a way to stop these messages and to see if going back to a stock rom will allow the phone to update the standard way so I don't get emails from the buyer claiming I sold him a busted handset.
If anyone can help me out with either a way to get the phone to update without having to do it manually, or a way to flash a stock rom that does, that would be much appreciated.
Here's a screenshot of my current install:

The reason it cant verify the update is because you are rooted.
Find and flash a stock ftf for your device through flashtool and you will be fully unrooted and be able to download updates ota.
