Here's what I've done. I downgraded my telus htc hero using the goldcard method, then proceeded with rooting in one click. I flashed
VillainROM 5.2 and switched my sdcard/goldcard to a regular 8gb sdcad. life was great but last night I decided to flash the VanillaEclair 1.0 JIT. wiped the flash update from sdcard and it gave me the error e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad) ???
What am I doing wrong?
I've been reading everything I can find concerning this and I still don't get it. I'm way to new to android to understand more than simply following instruction on how to root and load a custom mod. This right here is way over my head!
Please Help out the noob!

i went through this a little when i made my first theme for a phone. mine was because a directory had been altered but in your case it might just be a bad download. you might try downloading it and trying again, hope this helps
yeah it was a bad Dl, Ive juste installed vanillaEclair 1.1... few bugs but an overall nice rom.

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/*********.zip
(bad)
same problem,,pls could anybody have an idea how can it be fix??pls...thanks,,,cant flash any rom from sd card,,
it could either be from the download.
or if you created it yourself, its probably because its not signed. Search XDA (or google) for Android Signer.

The file is bad. try redownloading it and eg md5sum.
I'm trying to put together an update to apply changes to generic android 2.2 tablet. Every time I try to apply the update.zip file I get "E:signature verification failed" I have tried many signing tools but that doesn't seems to work.
Can anyone explains to me the basics of signing?
Is signing relative to every device (maybe use same signature that is compatible with the device)
Does the device have to be rooted?
Do I need to set permission within script for files/folders applying to?
Does signing method changes depending on android version (i.e 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, or 2.3)
I'm totally confused and would greatly appreciate any hint/ advice
I have tried Update-zip-Packager and seems to make some progress, still having issues through.. Well, now I'm not getting the e:signature verification failed, however, I'm getting the following:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
Not sure if anyone is reading this, but any idea how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks!
Very nice thanks

I am having the same problem. It was not clear on the guide I read to just replace the recovery file and now when I try to flash the update file it comes up with the
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation Aborted
I want to try these files you suggest and see if it works. If it doesn't what should I do.
I hate being the stupid noob.

Hey all.. I am pretty new here.
Lately, I've tried a few rooms here, since the last I flashed my Optimus one p500 was year a go. Last week, I tried Icysnap Octopussy..but I have a problem when I just want to change to MIUI UI One Xpression...
I use clockworkmod, boot into recovery mode.. and, as usual: wipe factory reset, dalvik cache, battery, sd ext.. but when I just want to flash the [ROM] UI-One [MIUI- GB] XPRESSION [01-12-12], it goes:
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Wrong digest:
system/lib/libsurfaceflinger.s
o
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
--------------------------------
I dont have any comparison when I use md5 checker, but when I expand the zip file in windows, I found libsurfacelinger.so..
anybody know?? need a guide here...
thankyou so much

Hi, I read lots of posts here in xda on how to install custom ROM on my HTC Salsa, lot of times i felt bad as the posts always required my phone to be S-OFF. I couldn't find a nice and easy solution for this.
However somewhere i read that it is not mandatory to have S-OFF and which is when i just started experimenting on my phone.
I did unlock the bootloader from HTC dev . But i still have S-on.
I downloaded some *i9500 custom ROM and copied it to my downloads folder in sdcard. Tried to install the zip from sdcard from my CWM Recovery and it failed always. But then i thought that it could be the problem with image which i downloaded as it is not supported. So then i found one more post for HTC Salsa and downloaded the image from the link given in there.
Here is the link of that post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2745185
Here is the link from where i downloaded the zip : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/
Here is the image which i downladed : cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
After getting into CWM Recovery i tried to install the same and at first it looked that it is going to install but in some time i get some error like
set_metadata_recursive.... error STATUS 7. INSTALLATION ABORTED.
Then i thought i was doing to wrong and as per some post .. i formatted all the /boot /system /sdcard ....partitions listed in CWM.
Now my sdcard is completely formatted .
After i copy my image there and try to install the same :
I get :
--Installing: /sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E: Error in .sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I can't even reboot to my old ROM. .. Not sure if its lost completely. .. Need help urgently.
Please help me recover or reinstall any ROM just for my phone to come back to life again.
