So, today I received a system update. Specificaly the name of the file is "OTA_Pico_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.42.479.2-1.28.479.1_release_270740jtk8y5516txcgby3.zip"
I can upload it if you want.
But when I try to install it, it reboots the phone (rooted HTC explorer) and takes me into Clockwork recovery mode, when I try to install it from there, at first it says that the file cant be verified, so I turned verification off and tryed again, and then there was some sort of error. How can I install that update?
If you wont help me with it, can you at least tell me if its ok to manualy copy files from update to system through Root Explorer ?
bump :/

hey i have rooted my captivate and gone tthrough all the steps to flash new rom but when i go to install rom it says installing but nothing happens how long does it take and is there something im missin using mac
More detailed steps please of what u did.
rooted phone then flash clockwork then back up and tryed to install just like its say the only thing i did different the pc user is recompressed files to zip because mac uncompresses them automaticly when u download them this is my first attemp at flashing rom its says installing but there is no progress on the stats bar
Do not re-compress them. find a way to get it onto the sd card without it.
have you gotten to the point where you select the file when you are in recovery?

That is your problem. If you recompress it, it will not work. I myself am on a mac, and although it decompresses it automatically, it should still have the original ZIP file in your downloads folder. You need to use that.
thanks for the great help i got it your number one for five mins only lol
I'm trying to install some of the standard apk's on my rooted Evo (myn's warm 2.2)... like footprints and setup wizard... without success...
method 1: I open up root explorer, make sure that read and write is clicked on, go to the apk file on my sd card and click on to launch, system asks me to confirm what to do.. so i click install.. asks me again to confirm if i want to install application and lists the permissions.. again i click install... goes to the screen with the progress bar for about 2 seconds then at the end shows an exclamation symbol that says "application not installed" and my only recourse from there is to click a button that says "done"... unknown sources option is checked on also....
method 2: take all the apk files and place them into a single zip file on my sd card... reboot into recovery and clear the cache... flash the zip file... confirm that it says flash complete and reboot the phone into android.. check my apps and confirm that nothing was installed...
method 3: same as method 2 but with each individual apk in their own zip file... same result...
I just have one more thing to say.................. WTF?!
Try pushing them through adb

First this app will only work on a stock/stock base ROM. Second, you need a root file app, like root explorer or root browser. In root explorer you have to select to give r/w permission.
Go to the location of the app, long press it and select copy. Then navigate back to
/system/app and paste it. Then long press it again, select permissions and make it rw-r--r--. Then reboot
Hopefully this will install for you. If it doesn't than the apk itself would need to be modified.
One last thing, if you have another sec.player.apk in system/app, you might need to change it from .apk to .bak then reboot before you begin the other process. You can just rename it back to
.apk and make sure permissions are right then reboot to re-enable it.

I managed to get to the stock recovery back from cwm.....thanx to @eoh7678
But now I want to get access to the recovery "menu". I get into the recovery and end up at the android logo with a " ! "
I tried some key combinations but didn't help.
Please help me, thanks
The stock recovery does not have a menu. The only thing it can do is flash a stock firmware file loaded to the root of your internal storage (or external after renaming it). So what you are seeing is perfectly normal.
What are you trying to accomplish and how?

Actually I want to update it from stock 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I have downloaded the update file from asus website but I don't know how to update it now. Can you please explain me properly? I have copied the update file in /cache. I made a file named command in /cache/recovery
and in that file I inserted "--update_package=/cache/<the update filename> .zip " and saved the file and then booted into recovery.
Nothing happened, the device did not update.
And then I again booted into the OS and found that the "command" file no longer existed! I have tried this 3 times.

The file you downloaded is called something like bla_bla_UPDATELAUNCHER.zip.
Extraxt that zip once and you end up with another zip: bla_bla_user.zip
Take the user.zip and put it into the root level of internal storage. NOT into any folder, just alongside your Downloads, Pictures folders etc., so into /sdcard/
The system should automatically recognize the file and give you a notification. If it doesn't, reboot.
If still nothing happens you either have an incorrect file or read this:

New update avail says 53.1 mb Blur_Version.23.3.24.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US.zip for advanced calling. Downloads fine but once I try installing fails. So I found file in cache and copied to my download folder and tried to side load. Fails halfway through and says error with sys/app/galaxy4.apk. Not sure what it was so I deleted it (don't remember installing it but could've) cleared phones cache and tried again still same issues and as far as I can see the apk file isn't there?? Anyone got any ideas?? Rooted 4.4.4 SU5-24 and BL unlocked
have you made any changes to the system or to your recovery? as changing any of that could very well cause it to fail.
I guess I did, wife's phone took update just fine, I'll do full reset today and see if fixed issue. Thanks.
Unlocked & Rooted XT1080M
still fails anyone else got any ideas ?? There isnt a system file named that anywhere on the phone that im aware of, however when i look at the zip file itself there is a file inside the download Blur_Version.23.3.24.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US/patch/system/app/Galaxy4.odex.p if i delete it and try from recovery on phone it aborts immediately guessing bc the signature is broken since ive modded it by deleting it?

I'm pretty sure it has to do with live wall papers. You should just extract it from the zip you have and install it into your system.

Fixed it, apparently I deleted 6 .apk files and 2 .odex files. Copied from wife's phone to a different folder and bluetoothed over, renamed changed permissions and renamed to the correct name took update and all is good. Thanks for you guys help
