Can't install ClockworkMod Recovery

Hi:
Following gtg465x's instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881, I updated my stock recovery to modded 3e recovery. However, continuing with the update for ClockworkMod Receovery, I see a failure.
Here's what I see when I try to "apply update from sdcard":
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
It appears the 3e recovery I have isn't modded, and hence is still trying to verify the signature. I've tried downloading the (modded) 3e recovery a couple of times, just to make sure I'm getting the right one.
Interestingly, I don't have a file called recovery in /system/bin, but I do have one in / and one in /sbin. What gives?
I am on GINGERBREAD.UCKL2.
Any suggestions?

Edit: Sorry didn't see the end of your post. I always install cwm right away before I flash another rom.

Hi:
Tried exactly that. Unfortunately, didn't do the trick for me. I wonder if it's perhaps because of those extra recovery files in / and /sbin. Is it safe to delete them?

just dl sgs kernel flasher if you're already on gb.
flash entropy's kernel to give you recovery

I do not know if it is safe to delete them. Only thing I would know to do is to go back to stock and install cwm to see if that works. Sorry that I'm not much help.

can't be done on gb, you're trying a froyo proceesure.
kl2 is even worse cuz its hard to root. you need a custom kernel. how did you getroot anyway?

If he still had root, sgs flasher will work.
If not, heimdall one click defuse kernel in dl mode?
Would odin entropy also give you recovery to flash other ROM?

yes that all would work. but defuse is froyo so it is temporary so a gb kernel in a cwm package must be on the sdcard first to flash the phone back to a bootable state. kernel flasher will backup the kernel on the phone and make it cwm flashable, but if you have kernel flasher there is no need for defuse. defuse oneclick is a means to an end on gb. it's only foe the purpose of getting cwm to flash something else.

I had this problem just a few minutes ago things how I did it... First use root explorer down load the mod 3e place it in the system folder in the bin ( I didn't see it with astro but root I did) I renamed the recover in there as recoveryold then place the new recovery in there. Now make sure the permission the same as the original.. Now once that done just back out and close root manager... Goto to rom manager go into reboot into recovery. Then once it reboots cycle down to were it says install repackage (or something like that). Choose that option you may have to do it a few times.. I did but it worked... So then you should have cwm?.. Hope that helps

Did you extract the recovery from the .zip or renamed the .zip recovery.zip? i extracted the recovery from the zip and placed it in the system/bin and made sure the permissions were correct. Then in cwm i booted into recovery. then phone froze when i tried to do an android back up. And yes i have froyo 2.2.1

[GUIDE] Updating A700 while rooted! revised: 8/4/12, bonus for USA tab owners

Make sure you are using CWM version 6.0.1.0
I am not responsible for whatever happens to your device because everyone else puts this in their threads too! get over it
Be sure to click that Thanks button if this helped you. this also appears in everyone else's thread's! deal with it
1. download the update file for your region from paugustin's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720157
2. unzip it inside any folder.
3. open the file called updater-script which is located at:
/META-INF/com/google/android
4. delete the line and the blank space left afterwards then save changes to the file. the line for the US version looks like this:
assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a700_pa_cus1");
5. highlight everything that came out of the download from step 1, zip it, and rename it to update.zip
6. place in the root of an SD card, not internal storage!
Note: a few users have recommended placing the update.zip on internal storage. i tried it again from a SD card and it worked just fine. if you're having issues with this try internal.
7. reboot to recovery mode. if you need this guide you've had to do it in the past, nuff said! :silly:
8. select Apply update.zip
9. after you select Reboot System, you will be given two options:
Yes will keep CWM recovery but you wont be able to use recovery mode at all until you unlock the bootloader again!
No will allow the update to restore stock recovery, and you will need to re-flash CWM.
10. if you chose Yes from step 9, unlock your bootloader and do the root process again. DONE!
if you chose No, unlock your bootloader, flash CWM again, and do the root process again. DONE!
there are already guides on how to do that.
BONUS FOR USA TAB OWNERS!
This is ONLY FOR UPDATING FROM the Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC06_PA_CUS1.zip file from the link in Step 1 at the top of the page.
If you are on any other version, and / or from any other country, DO NOT TRY THIS!
This is the latest update with the power option added in settings & touch sensitivity improvements, with the getprop line already deleted from the script!
A. Download this directly to your tab.
B. Reboot to recovery mode.
C. Install.
D. After selecting Reboot System you will be given two options. Refer to Step 9 above.
E. After making your choice, you will be given the option to prevent the update from deleting root :victory:
F. Unlock your bootloader again.
G. If you chose No. from Step 9, re-flash CWM 6.0.1.0
H. If you chose No. from Step E, root again if you wish.
DONE!!

I've try this, but when I do point 8 (select Apply update.zip), the update is aborded.
I'm on SDs_Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMEA_FR.zip with the root by patched boot.
I want install Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC06_AV043.RV23RC04_EMEA_FR.zip.
I don't know why update fail.

Yes, and the message was "Update aborted"

Just a question. I have unlocked my A700 via method 2, so without CWM install.
If I follow this guide, placing the update.zip on the card, and restart with Volume-down+Power, will it execute the update.zip as well?
The update.zip in fact is the altered Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC04_AV043.RV23RC05_WW_GEN1.zip according to the instructions.
If using Root Explorer, where would I have to place the update.zip file?

I'm not sure if a modified update script would run on the stock recovery. you can try it, the worst that would happen is it will decline to run the update. i would recommend you always have CWM recovery regardless of any flashing/updating plans you may or may not have.
and the location for the update.zip does not change regardless of what you use to get the file there lol it doesn't matter if you use a Toyota or Lamborghini to get to work. silly question lol..

Thanks for your answer. The problem is, an unmodified update script wont run either on my unlocked A700.
And, I am scared about using CWM, as I hear stories it will possibly brick your A700, and that is something I am not too keen about.
But, with Root Explorer compared to ES File Explorer you have more possibilities. But I agree, it was abit a silly question.
So now, how to update my unlocked A700 with the OTA delivered by Acer? That's the question.....

by my understanding, the CWM versions to avoid are 5.4.0.0 (something like that) and the touch version(s)
unlocking your bootloader and not installing CWM is like alcohol-free-beer... pointless.

When trying the above mentioned procedure, i first got an error 6, which i solved by editing the updater-script the second time with notepad++, so i could keep the unix-like line-ends.
Then when i tried to run the update.zip from within cwm, i got error status 7.
(On both the downloaded update file from the thread mentioned above, and from the original from Acer received OTA update file)
As far as i know, after googling error status 7 has to do with the update zip not for the system trying to update. But i am sure, as i also tried with the Acer received OTA (after deleting the first line in the updater-script), i used the correct update file.
What could cause this?

LOL stupid mistake on my part
the link wasn't really dead, i just screwed up in how i posting it lol thanks for mentioningit

Got it. Thanks.

OK. I finally tried above method to update rooted U.S. A700.
Started with:
Image Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_PA_CUS1
Build Acer_AV043_A700_1.029.00_PA_CUS1
CWM Recovery 6.0.1.1
I tried both methods above- initially using the update.zip specifically provided for U.S. A700 owners in the 2nd part of 1st post of this thread
IN "BONUS FOR USA TAB OWNERS!".
Tried it on 1st external SD, then internal SD.
Both ways I get RED TRIANGLE with exclamation point and message:
"Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)"
OR
"Can't open /emmc/update.zip
(bad)"
I am, of course, sure I copied the update.zip directly from Downloads to the root of the external and internal cards;
I also made sure to use "Choose zip from SD card" in CWM to find the Update.zip file right where I put it.
Not ready to quit, I tried again using the original Update zip file and modifying updater.script myself, exactly as described in the 1st part of the 1st post. I also tried this update.zip with modified updater.script on both the external and internal SD, without success.
This time I did get further, receiving:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Mount Data success
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check_("EMMC:\dev\block\platform\sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX:4065536:95
Then a bunch of letters/numbers
E:Error in sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
P.S. I verified I have the assert line deleted in the updater.script before I tried this.
I should mention that I have stock ROM, have and have NOT deleted any system apps
(I have inactivated a few like VirusScan within Android).
Luckily I was able to reboot without any problems after all these attempts, but now I am stuck.
Any ideas?

hmmm that's an error i haven't seen before. try deleting the update and downloading it again, or disabling assert check
I'm not a developer, that's the best i can suggest. you'd have to ask someone with a bit more knowledge
it might have something to do with the root method you used originally

Well, I tried yIur modified update.zip multiple times (downloaded it 3 different times, and tried both internal and external SD). As mentioned, I also tried modifying the updater.script myself (used JOTA text editor; maybe that was an issue with respect to how it saves a file, etc.).
How does one disable assert check, as you describe? A link, perhaps?
Interestingly, today I was able to flash the original1.029 update (1st A700 OTA update) after modifying it's updater.script in exactly the same fashion you describe. It put me back to stock 1.029, which I then updated to stock 1.057 (2nd A700 OTA update). I then re-unlocked bootloader, re-rooted and re-installed CWM recovery 6.0.1.1 easily and successfully as described in the threads in A700 development in this forum. Still holding out on CM ROM, as it seems fairly buggy. Thanks for trying. My way definitely took longer; don't know why your direct method would not work on my tab. Thanks.

disable asset check should be one of about 4 or 5 options to choose from, right next to ''choose from internal'' / external
it actually might not be available on this device it's been a while since I've used CWM
i do these modifications right from my tab with ES file explorer.
glad you were able to get it working

[solved] US A700 rooted OTA update
hi all,
after few days of messing about I finally managed to update a rooted US A700. I will try to guide you through what I did.
After initially booting up the A700 I upgraded it OTA to AV043_A700_RV07RC06_PA_CUS1 and after that rooted it using method #2 in the rooting thread (method #1 didn't work for some reason)
Got OTA notification saying that AV043.RV23RC03_PA_CUS1 was available (performance update, 35.72MB in size) but that wouldn't install giving error Status 7.
Installed CWM 6.1.1, still tthe same results, it wouldn't even install any of the other ROM's that are posted in this forum.
I probably should mention that I saved the original OTA update for installation later.
here is the solution (at least in my case)
Downloaded ROM Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC06_PA_CUS1.zi p from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720157
Extracted boot.img and flashed via fastboot flash boot boot.img
Rebooted into CWM recovery and flashed the earlier saved OTA update no problem (was saved on internal memory but external memory card should work as well)
Then all that needed to be done was to root the A700 again (I used method #2 again)
Hope that helps someone.

You are not using the original bootloader so checking failed.
Simply delete this line to fix it (it happened to me last week when I created my homemade OTA update). Don't forget to unlock your bootloader after that !

[Q] How to debug OTA update failure?

I got JB OTA update, but it failed after my phone rebooted.
Where do I find the error log? What are the usual troubleshooting steps?
My phone is rooted, but that's the only change I remember making. Can't figure out why update keeps failing.

Couple questions, you didn't install custom recovery did you? I know it says only rooted, but just double checking. Also, did you freeze any apps....any at all?

No custom recovery. No frozen apps.
I haven't had any problems with the previous update (VRLHE).
Is there a log file saved somewhere on the phone with the error message?

Solved!
Found the solution. After poking around in the file system I found install log in
/cache/recovery/last_log
So, if anyone is having upgrade problems that's the log file you should be looking at for error messages.
Turned out I disabled camera click by renaming the sound file and completely forgot about it :silly:.
In my case this was the error message that pointed to the problem:
"failed to stat "/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg": No such file or directory"

Oh, something silly might be the cause of my issue, as well.
EDIT:
After rooting to view the install_log file contents, it appeared that my install failed because "/system/lib/libjni_emailspellcheck.so" was not on my phone - what a ridiculous error to hold up a major OS upgrade.
I found Incubus' JellyBomb ROM at the VRLHE level and copied libjni_emailspellcheck.so from that to my phone in the proper subdirectory. Re-installed the JellyBean 4.1.1. OTA and everything went fine.
Weatherbug and some other apps are JellyBean-ized, it appears. Cool.

The sneaky bastards at Verizon tried to push the OTA yesterday evening. The phone was in my pocket and it started getting warm. Pulled it out and saw the update failed message. "last_log" showed it couldn't find VzTones.apk. Well, I had deleted that after backing up in TiBackup, but had reinstalled it a week or so ago. Apparently, when ti restored the apk it wound up being named "com.vzw.hs.android.modlite-1.apk", or at least that's my assumption since the icon is the same. I renamed it, but the update failed (dl via wifi this time. Why does it have to download again, by the way?) again because VzTones didn't have the "expected sha1 sums", whatever that means. I gave up and used this method to get the update, root, and unlocked bootloader.
I think I preferred flashing my Moment to this.
Here's a question: Does that 400mb download count against your data plan?

[Q] Reverted to Stock, stuck in roaming, can't root.

Hi, I'm new to all of this. Yesterday I spent a good 9-10 hours messing with my phone, rooting, flashing CM10 with CWM, realizing data doesn't work on it, and trying to revert back.
I finally managed to revert back to stock this afternoon via (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204), but the stock provided in the OP left me on a startup loop. So I used (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I535) in the comments, which worked. I am running SCH-I535, so that's all well and good, but after flashing with Odin, I got an error that I was apparently "roaming". Not sure if this is common when reverting to stock or not, but I'm not sure if it's a big deal either, since I was looking to switch to AOKP instead. BUT, I can't root now. I'm using "Root Debug FS" to root, which worked for me each time before. Now I'm getting the following messages:

Well i too jumped the gun, After installing CM 10.1 build 18 i think it was, my phone has been with no service even with stock OS. I'm super noob at this stuff, and there are so many threads leading me in circles. i'm almost considering buying a new phone....

In betting both of you need to go back to a stock ICS and use the reprovision code in the dialer. You can Google that code. Before doing that check to make sure you have a imie.
To the OP you flashed the latest JB correct, you never said which one you used. If that's the case the root method you're trying will not work. Under development there us a thread for rooting the Jb update.
. LISTEN TO THE POSTER AFTER ME. I THINK HE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE WITH THE CM10.1 THEN I DO AND I MAY BE GIVING YOU EXTRA WORK!
If I helped you in some way.... pass on the favor and help the next person!

Flash an unofficial build and change your mobile settings > cdma subscription to ruim/sim and toggle airplane mode.

I do seem to have an IMEI. And yes, I flashed the latest build, sorry for lack of clarity. I'll go ahead and look up a stock ICS, though I'm not sure what a reprovision code is, could you explain?

Ah, sorry, thought you might just be replying to the other guy. I can't seem to access the "mobile networks" settings, as it's grayed out. Am I looking in the wrong area? Settings > More settings > Mobile networks
EDIT: I downgraded from JB to ICS in hopes that that would restore data working on my phone. Nothing. I'm going to hold off on bothering with AOKP, because if it's not working on stock, I doubt it'll work on a custom ROM.
I still can't figure out how to change cdma subscription to ruim/sim. "Mobile networks" is no longer grayed out, but I don't see an option for cdma subscription or anything similar.
Any help? Other suggestions?

You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

Hmm, that stuck me on a boot loop. I'll try to find another stock ICS. When I dialed that under JB, it sent me to a Verizon line, was that supposed to happen? Is there anything I'm supposed to do from there?
Nevermind! Tried the code under ICS and it worked! Thank you so much to everyone for your help. You're fantastic!

Ya it wont work on JB, it only works on early versions of ICS. They removed it due to a exploit where someone can trigger that code and wipe your phone and crap.

[Q] Status 7 error when flashing a new ROM in TWRP

So, I do have the newest TWRP installed, but I get a "Status 7" error message anytime I want to flash a new Jelly Bean rom. I'm on AOKP 4.2.1 right now. Can anyone help me?
Here is the error message:

Your problem shown in red. updater-script tested your build.prop for tf300t and did not find that. If your unit is tf300t then edit updater-script and remove the assert lines.
Inside the zip you will find /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Edit with notepad or notepad++; not word, wordpad, or other. Save rezip and flash.

Sorry for the long delay! Search is still down here on XDA.
I'll have to ask questions I would have searched for.
The rom you are trying to flash is 20120625. That is very old and I can't remember any JB aokp roms on XDA during that time. I didn't catch the date earlier because the assert error was staring at me.
Is this from XDA? Give me some info about the rom or better yet a link. I feel that is an ICS rom with a date that old. Maybe that is not actually a date but appears so. With a link to the rom I might be able to find your current issue.
Note: your recovery you are flashing with should be twrp 2.4.1.0 JB.

XDA search is alive again.
This is an ICS rom. Choose a JB rom and try again I think you will have success.
Good Luck!

Any update I'm having same problem.I'm trying to flash blackbean 6 and getting same error,I deleted the stuff posted above and now I get status 6 error.I have jb bootloader and I can flash all other jb romsroms and blackbean 7,but not 6.

Did you do your editing with notepad or notepad ++?
Error 6 is usually files that were edited with wordpad or word. It can also be an editing error such as not completely removing the line or partially deleting or editing a line that is still included.
Note: Wasn't blsckbean 6 ICS?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I unziped it on tablet and edited it with a text editor from tablet then reziped it.If it was a ics one that would make sense but on goo site it says blackbean 6 jbl so I assumed that the jbl meant jellybean boot loader.I also opened the bb7 zip and in that script updater it doesnt have the few lines with the build prop stuff,so after I deleted the first few lines in the bb6 zip it looked exactly like bb7 script updater.I don't think I left any of the lines there.After I edited the stuff I went down to the next line and pressed back button to move the rest of the lines up.If the jbl doesn't mean jellybean loader and it was for icecream sandwhich then I would assume that's why it isn't working.Thanks for writing back.Ive tried almost all the roms for tf300t and like that one the most but without ability to move my game data to microsd card I can't use it.I guess ill have to wait till they can figure out how to make directory bind workwork with jb 4.2.
I also just looked it up and bb6 is for jb bootloader.

Thanks I would appreciate the help,I've searched for endless hours and everything always points back to editing those lines..If you need anymore info let me know.I've also tried to download diffrent times.Bb7 flashes fine and hydro and clean rom and blue rom but bb6 wont.I even flashed bb7 then tried to flash bb6,same error as frank got.I also made sure my build prop said tf300t for the errors.I've tried many combonations and wipes.I'm on blue rom now if that matter

OK. Sorry for the delay, I've been recovering my tablet. I edited the updater-script, flashed BB6. Stuck on bootanimation, flashed again, stuck on bootanimation, restored my previous backup, stuck on bootanimation. Flashed stock rom back to a working tablet.
I can't suggest you install the rom but I have uploaded updater-script.
For the future I also edit on the tablet. I suggest jota free on the playstore, it does not add extra characters that cause errors. Example most editors end a line with both linefeed and carriage return which will not work for these files.
Good Luck!

Thanks for getting back to me,I will probably try this at some point,if it didn't work on your tablet then maybe it wont work on mine as well.I do have a few backups and all my apps on titanium back up so maybe ill give it a try.Maybe I just might have to wait till they make directory bind work with jb 4.2 to flash Bb7.

Can you upload an updater-script for Gingerbread MT6575 models ? Also the link is not working.
