[Q] What does update.zip do

Alright so this belongs in the android dev section for sgs4g but i cant post there because I dont have 10 posts lol but anyways...I was just wondering what exactly the update.zip file does AFTER I boot into CWM because everytime i try to flash it i get the cannot mount e:/....cache or whatever it is error(not really an error but it just doesnt flash).I have tried to maunally mount cache and the other one but it still doesnt flash.Once again i am able to boot into CWM but dont understand what the update.zip is for. Thanks in advanced

Um...i looked all over that whole thread but im not sure if you know what I mean. I dont want to know how to fix the the problem(although I did try to mount manually and still didnt get it to go through but thats besides the point) what I wanna know is what does the update.zip file contain/what does it do? Thanks

If I understand the responses given in the CWM thread...
Right now the way it works is that CWM isn't actually being installed, but instead is being activated though "applying" the update zip. It isn't ready to be fully installed on to the SGS4G due to some lingering problems with CWM mounting / unmounting the /system partition.
So RomManager isn't going to recognize it and you'll have to apply the update zip each time you want to get into CWM. Remember it's a Beta release, not full or final...

Ok alright so now moving on to the mounting problem I MANUALLY mounted cache and the other one but it still says cannot mount e:/cache. So when I go back to check it resets so its like as if I didnt mount them? Does anyone know anything bout that?

Well I did mount cache and data manually but I get the same cannot mount e:/cache error AFTER I mount manually. I go back to the mount menu and its like I never mounted them?(like it resets its self). Now....i have gotten into CWM and have done a backup and such, so do I even need to be trying to flash update.zip lol

"same damn problem."
That's why you can't post in dev section. This in no way belongs in the dev section. Dev section is to post rom's, hack's and mod's. General is for questions and problems. They only do that so that you post a few times and learn what type of post's, to post in which section. It get's confusing, I know, but this saves a lot of wrong posts in the wrong sections. It saves the moderators the work of having to move them, and it saves you from being flamed... allot.

FYI this post is my post 11 so that I can post in the Dev section. I'm fairly new to mod-ing my phone, but I've been doing research and stuff and wanted to help someone understand something in the Dev section..but couldn't because I only had 10 posts...
Perhaps instead of just a General and Dev section, there could be a couple more sections...for Stock phones, or even a section for CWM and Stock ODEXED ROM and a section for Stock De-ODEXED ROM...maybe a testing section...Limite the Development thread to developers and then the devs an post things in the testing section to help get things tested...
I'm done ranting...I just needed my 11th post. All the work you guys do is great, but search forums has never been to friendly...it gets cluttered way to fast.. Just the nature of forums I guess.

My suggestion is to PM Krylon360 about this. I think he wont frequent this section as often because he moved onto another device already, BUT he and DrHonk are still working on CWM.

The data and cache partions are not automounted, this is intended. These errors are OK. Things still should work as expected. Only thing that dosn't work is flashing a full ROM.
Also the Beta1 of CWM dosn't actually "flash" at this point, you have to replace the recovory file first & then when you want to get into CWM, you select "Reinstall packages" from the stock recovory console.

Not sure if your still looking for an answer, but the update.zip is CWM and is activated by using option 2 in the default stock reboot screen. There really is no reason to mount the other drives unless you are trying to change something in them. This was really more when the whole Apps2SD was more of a back end thing and many apps provide this when you download them.

E:unknown value for path [/sd-ext]

That's what I get when accessing the "advanced" part of CWM Touch 5.8.1.3 on my skyrocket(to wipe dalvik cache). I also got something similar during a nandroid backup.
What does this mean and why am I getting this message?

Something to do with your external sd card. Might want to Odin cwm again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

It's done this since I've had the phone.. part of me thinks it's because of all the weird partitioning i had to do when i was using this external card with my atrix and the lapdock.. trying to unlock the webtop and all that insanity. I've tried repartitioning but it doesn't do the job.. now what?
I don't think re-odining CWM will do it, I've been on 4 different CWMs since getting my skyrocket and they've all done this.
I'm also having trouble running sean's newest ICS rom(i went back to GB for a while, too many little bugs were driving me crazy) now. Phone won't boot with it installed. Could this be because the dalvik can't be wiped? where is the dalvik cache written to?

Have you tried using a different external SD card to see if it still gives you that error?

naw, i know i should. i will soon, i was just kind of looking to see if this was a common thing. just formatted the card and will try again. the issue never caused any problems until right now, i'm thinking it's part of the reason i can't boot the ROM. will try reflashing after formatting the external card, then if that doesn't work i'll try going back to the GB nandroid, if it still doesn't boot then i'll try the external card and get back.

You shouldn't need an external to boot the rom. Everything should be flashed from the internal. Just leave the external out, reflash everything, and boot up.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

yeah i figured it couldn't really be the external causing the boot failure. but would not being able to properly wipe the dalvik cause it? because it returns the error when i go to wipe the dalvik. sorry, i'm like a half-noob... got all the terms and procedures down, but the under the hood stuff is still coming slowly lol
edit: no dice. just won't boot at all. going to ODIN cwm again as suggested and try that.

now things are getting really weird. after ODINing CWM, when i go to install from the external SD it just keeps going to my internal. both "internal" and "external" sd card options go to the internal. there's a subfolder for the external_sd as it would be in root explorer, but that just loops back to the normal internal sd folder.. what the hell is going on?

Your on ATT so get the odin oneclick and properly start with the leaked ICS rom.
The onclick has bootloader updates thats CWM wont give you and it also installs the most recent radio and most recent ril's.
The odin "oneclick" will wipe the entire phone and set it up stock and should correct any wierd formatting errors.
Then use the Odin "program" to flash CWM tar
Then try flashing a rom again.
Oh take that card from your atrix and format it FAT32 with a pc and only put the rom and rom updates on it to start with. If you get this far, you should be good to go.

He didn't insult them personally. He gave constructive criticism for the noobs to build on. You are the only butt hurt noob insulting the one guy who gave correct information. If he didn't help the OP, he would have flashed his phone repeatedly with the same results. Quit trying to be a tough guy, and swallow your pride

Is My Samsung Captivate i897 is bricked

hi folks,
i have been facing a serious issue with my samsung captivate it looks like i have bricked by Samsung Captivate i 897 i have read all the threads related to "Bricked" issue but not able to sort out this issue which you can see in attached image. my set boot after AT&T logo and Samsung galaxy screen its keep on rebooting (Bootloop).
but the lines in red below is some serious issue it looks like partion is having some serious issue as i amgetting internal stroge error.
error is:
"E:failed to mount /sdcard (file existing)
E:Copy_Dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions."
Please note i can go into recover mode and download mode.

What did u do to get it to this point ?? Just curious.
To fix...u need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash back to a Stock Firmware. See the Stock One Clicks Master Collection Stickied Thread in the Development Forum.
i897ucKK4 is the latest for the at&t captivate.
If u r good after that and want to proceed further to flashin some dev roms then see the Guide by TRusselo in the Q & A Firum. It is a stickied thread as well.

i have already flashed this firmware and many other GB Firmware but my issue is still the same after flashing my set goes into reboot loop
secondly can you please share the link the guide you are referring.
PS: Got The guide. will check it out

If you can get recovery or download mode you are not bricked. Looks like you are on 3e recovery. You cannot flash a rom from there. You need CWM recovery. Just flash any kernel in the dev section with Odin or heimdall that has CWM. ReBoot into recovery, Then flash anything you need to.

I'd recommend a one click to stock, i've never had issues with that when i have trouble, upgrade on up from 2.1 or where ever your one click takes you.
hope you get it fixed.

thank you every one for support i am now using CWM 7.1 and its working fine but the issue which i highlighted earlier is still the same, internal memory card is shown unmounted and i cant use any internal space available in in internal memory.

Did you try reformatting the internal SD card? --> It will remove all the files on ur SD card, but you could check if this is the issue, once you do that, I guess the only way to flash another ROM is going back to stock, moving the new ROM to ur SD card and then flashing it from CWM.

Your phone is not bricked. Just reflash to stock.

BRICKED!!! Please help.

I backed up my phone using non-root apps. Wiped out my phone.
Rooted using SuperOneClick, worked perfectly, installed ROM Manager, updated CWM recovery, booted into CWMR, and tired to install RAGE 4. BRICKED.
Then found out how to get into download mode, ODINed back to stock, downloaded ROM Manager, updated CWMR, booted into CWMR, wiped out everything (Dlvik cache, system cache, etc), and tried to install another ROM (Revolution 170MB), BRICKED!! Except this time, I can't get into Download Mode to get back to recovery. I get a pair of logos, a picture of a phone connected to a pc with dots, and an orange triangle in the middle with an exclamation point...
Please help.

LOL that is an alt download mode us one click hemidall by adamoutler and it should work btw rom manager from the market does not work nor ever will

Check your mounts when you flash, k?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Agreed with the two above.
Check your mounts before flashing with NORMAL CWM.
However, if you flash krylon360s voodoo recovery you can't brick because of your mounts. Highly recommended.

OK. Here's the thing, everyone keeps saying check your mounts, check your mounts, again and again as if this is elementary knowledge. While I understand that this is a fundamentally important step, I don't understand. The noob guides do not talk about "checking your mounts". Google just talks about checking car mounts, adding android in the search doesn't help either.
Could someone please explain to me exactly how I check my mounts, and what the information in the checks mean? That would make me feel a lot less dumb.

I was able to get back to stock thankfully.
But I wasn't using the ROM Manager from the market, I was using the one downloaded straight from the CWM site. It was able to flash CWM and I was able to boot into CWM Recovery from the app, but could you please tell me why it doesn't work, or what doesn't work? Cuz it looked like it was working to me.

Friend thought he bricked his infuse, I can get it in red CWM and in download mode!!!

My friend could not get his phone to turn on, or blink, or do anything at all... After a while of messing with it I got it to turn on and I figured out how to boot the red CWM and from there I can also send it into download mode. I have tried reformatting and wiping data and rebooting ect, ect, but nothing is working, OHH and BOTH my micro SD cards are write-protected for some RETARDED reason so I cant put the ROM on that and CWM it.... So can somebody help me out please!
AND BEFORE YOU START POINTING FINGERS!
I have read threads for the last 10-12 hours (straight, no joke) and have tried using Odin, and the HEINSCHEMIA or whatever its called, and I just dont seem to be getting it xD i think its just the instructions are too vague since I havent used these programs at all, both of them go NOWHERE (and I do have the drivers installed)
I am not new to this stuff and I have put ROMs on probably upwards of 20 devices but this one is really pissing me off =[ im dead tired and sick of just reading hundreds of threads that are taking me nowhere! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP I WILL BE FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT! =]

???? I said IT CANT BOOT and I CAN GET INTO RED CWM AND DOWNLOAD MODE.... how would i root it if it wont boot....
And that program wont work because you have to have the drivers installed and from what i can see its impossible without at some point having my phone connect (regularly, not in CWM or download mode) which is obviously not gonna happen... so thats useless as can be....
ALSO I FIGURED OUT HOW TO TAKE THE WRITE-PROTECTION OFF (NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS, I FOUND THE SETTING IN DEVICE MANAGER!) BUT IM DUMB AND CANT FLASH THE ROM BECAUSE ITS IN THE EXT SD NOT THE INTERNAL SD! ANY WAY AROUND THIS?
and while trying to follow a tutorial (which i think was BS now) all my drivers are gone from "Computer" except for C, D, and my disc drive 0.0 stupid KEY REGISTRY CRAP! so i need to figure this out and when im done i need to restore to before i screwed it up
EDIT: FORGOT TO MENTION THO THAT MY BROTHERS GF HAS AN INFUSE I THINK SO IM GONNA HAVE HER COME OVER AND ILL FINISH INSTALLING THE DRIVERS WITH HERS, THAT WOULD WORK RIGHT???

if your phone won't boot and you don't have a cwm back up or if you don't have a rom on your internal sdcard or don't have zen tool kit then your sol and you have no other options but to flash ur phone back to stock in download mode using odius or hymenthingy.

"odious hymenthingy" .... you are wise, o great and powerful mufmaker
(either that or I am flashing back to the years I spent in janitorial service at the all-girls Catholic high school)

I take offense to the title "mufmaker," Sir. I've re-flavored a MUF or two and might have even dyed a few MUFs. But make one, I did not.
btw..we had this discussion a while back...the OS that runs the phone may be more accurately call a firmware. So we have Unofficial Firmwares. And Modified UFs can be called MUFs

what do you mean a cwm backup? a backup on the int from before? remember this wasnt my phone so that type of info i wouldnt know, but i do know CWM works perfectly fine and it goes into download mode just as easy, also stock is fine with me but how do i do that, how can i make hymenthingy (rofl) work??? would using any infuse work? my brothers girlfriend has one and i asked her to bring it later....
Cant i just get the drivers working and try that program and if not cant i just use CWM thing that mounts it to USB storage and put the rom on the internal? does that work... im confused xD
