Unable to install update.zip

Im trying to update the modem from EP4D to FP1H using CWM, but when I start the installation, it gives me the error
file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory
E:Error in /sdcard/668fc9f366e2.update_SCH-I510_EP4D_to_FP1H (1).zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried re-downloading the update file, but nothing I've tried has worked.

Just thought of something. Do I need to convert back to the stock file system in CWM before I can install the update? I'm on EXT4 right now.

You must rename the update file to just "update. Zip" but make sure you are stock ep4d before updating.

You can't be on anything custom when attempting to flash that package.

ok, thanks. I used your stock conversion pit file & rom Imnuts to get back, then I just took all the OTA updates to get to the FP1 modem

Help needed!

i need help with modifying / creating the updater script in the meta-inf folder of a custom rom.
the reason for this is that, i just added ota updates to my rom, and everytime i push an update to my device (test), it gives me the following error when installing in cwm:
E:/ failed to load keys
/res/keys No such file or directory.
thats happens when the app tries to do it automatically. then i try it manually by toggling the signature verification in cwm.
and my guess was pretty much that it had something to do with the updater script.
so guys, please help me out and fast!
thankyou!

You are trying to install an US dlpkgfile, and you seem to be on 10.4.4.18 currently. But I still need more details. Rooted? Unlocked? Did you ever modify/delete any files on /system before the upgrade? Did any previous attempt to upgrade fail?

OK, then this is apparently the first update that tries to patch FacebookPoster.apk and .odex, so these files need to be there. Restore the original app from your backup (you did make a backup before deleting, didn't you?) and then the upgrade should work.
If you don't have a backup, you call still extract the app from a full firmware image if you have Linux on your PC (unzip, unzip, blobunpack, loop mount the ext4 filesystem from blob.APP, extract the required file), or you can ask someone else to extract it from their rooted stock tablet.

Instead of waiting around, do a factory reset then start over again, but keep updating until the end and don't install any user apps in between. Only install user apps once the upgrade is finished.
Flash Asus full .30 version, root, ota rootkeeper to save root, upgrade, restore root.

[q] flash paranoidandroid 3.57 on rogers skyrocket

I think it is an error message for some kind of file error. very nonspecific. I downloaded the zip file twice, once through internet explorer and once through firefox in case ie was the problem. Also when TWRP wouldn't work I tried CWM. Same error.

Make sure the file you're downloading is meant for the SkyRocket. Status 7 usually means that you're trying to flash a ROM from another phone.

The zip file I downloaded was found in this forum under 4.2.x Paranoid Android by Toyes. The file is: pa_skyrocket-3.57-10JUN2013-131650.zip
So I don't think it is the wrong file.

I haven't looked at the assert lines in the rom, but it's possible since you have the "r" version the rom isn't letting you flash it. If you're sure the rom is for your device you could delete the assert lines in the updater-script.

I'm not sure exactly why you are having this problem. I have the I727R as well and have no issues. The updater script does have assert lines for I727 and skyrocket. So if you are sure you have a skyrocket then you can just remove those lines and then it will flash.

I tried removing the assert line by deleting it in notepad after extracting the zip file. I then rezipped and put the zip file on my sd card. The installation aborted again. I tried the same thing with JellyBeer and it also aborted. (It also has assert line). Any suggestions?

You're doing it wrong. You can't use regular notepad and don't unzip it.

Thanks for the advice. I extracted the updater-script file to desktop, opened it in notepad++, removed the assert line, saved it back to desktop and added it back to zip file. Still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
btw, I tried editing it directly from zip file by drag and drop to notepad++ first, and that didn't work either. The error message in TWRP was:FAILED, can't open zip file.

Porting Help Needed

I was just porting a ROM for the HTC Pico/Explorer. Everything went well as I followed the instructions. Now when it's the time for installing I got the following error in TWRP recovery:
symlink: some symlinks failed
then the Status 7 error and then it showed that the installation failed. I went through many threads and I can guess that the error is related to the updater-script file in META_INF/com/google/android folder.
I have attached the file in "txt" format. If anyone can find the error then please help me with that.

Thanks for the reply but that's definitely not the issue here. the zip size is already lower than internal memory available. Try to judge the error through updater script.

try removing the-
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "pico" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "pico");
i am not sure but it may work
other than that everything seems pretty correct to me

Will try that for sure :good::good::good::good::good:

Unzipped the internal memory must be less than 235 mb for pico ( preferable below 200 ).. Try using an another meta inf and just check if you have all the files of the busy box and binaries .. Just to make sure the symlinks can be done.
