Hello,
I am trying to install custom rom and I cannot get anything to flash. I have had the phone rooted and romed before was trying to change roms so i wipped everything and cleared all caches and tried to flash and it came across an error. Tried to fix errors and ended up soft bricking it, fixed the soft brick but now I am back to step 1.
The error i am getting is:
Opening .zip file
Cannot open .zip
aborting
I was using CWM, thought that was the problem so I switched to twmp and still get the same thing. It will not install any zips. I have downloaded tons of different roms and none of them work, also i cannot install the bootloader unlocker or su now because it will not open the zip. I have tried it on external sd card and internal neither work. Any help appreciated.
I figured it out. My external sd card was somehow causing the problem. I removed all important files and formatted it from twrp and restarted and was able to flash again. Dunno how that caused the problem but that was my fix to this solution for anyone else that comes across this problem in the future. Really was a frustrating two days.

Hi,
This is my first time flashing so go easy on me
Basically I started with my stock HTC One S, unlocked the bootloader, rooted the handset, then flashed CWM 5.8.3.1 onto it. I mounted the SD Card on my PC, copied the CM10 and GApps ZIPs over to the SD Card then installed them with CWM.
After that the handset wouldn't boot past the HTC screen. I kept installing the ZIPs over and over then whilst I was panicing and clicking everything I could find wiped the Dalvik Cache/factory reset/cache/EVERYTHING. After that point it just would not mount the /sdcard. I managed to get it booting by flashing the boot.img using fastboot. But I still can't access the sdcard.
In JB it just says its safe to remove the sd card permanently. If I try and push anything to it using ADB it says that the volume is write protected.
I have no clue how I can fix this without having to reflash which is a massive pain in the arse.
If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it!
Did you ever fix this problem? Mine has done the exact same thing! :crying:
Hi I had the same problem,I used the hasoon all in one tool to flash twrp recovery then I adb pushed a rooted stock Rom to system to remount the sdcard (Rom from andrdandy Rom list) then I adb pushed viperone s Rom to the sdcard

Hi,
So I installed clockworkmod recovery for my (rooted) Razr XT910 using RazrTouchBlack.apk. Everything went accordingly and I did a reboot into CWM. That's where the problem began. I made a backup on SD card, not just a regular backup, and then after it backed up and rebooted I was greeted with the "encryption unsuccessful" screen.
I've been able to get the phone up and running again by booting it into AP fastboot and running the commands:
motofastboot erase cache
motofastboot erase userdata
motofastboot reboot
But the problem is now I can't shut it down/reboot, because doing that would bring me back to the "encryption unsuccessful" screen again. I suspect its not a Big problem, since I haven't lost anything in my internal sd card (most other threads I searched they were saying that if you see the "encryption unsuccessful" all the data in the sd card is gone. The phone was/is running OTA jelly bean, everything seems to work fine, only problem is I can't shut down, or I'd have to run the motofastboot commands all over again. My phone doesn't have root atm, and unlikely to get root either because the rooting process involves (you know it) rebooting.
Additional info: Could /hijack and /logwrapper in my system/bin directory have anything to do with this? I know to uninstall CWM these two files have to be deleted.
Any ideas on how to fix? Preferably not anything drastic like flashing an entire new rom. I'm still relatively new to android from a developers standpoint. Thanks a lot in advance.
I had same problem too
Hi!
I had same problem as you described, after backup and restart my phone gift error encryption unsuccessful and phone as bricked at all. I found a video on youtube to unbrick it by entering en recovery mode and flashing ROM again. I know it's not the best solution but I have again my phone up and running and no data has been lost on my SD card. Search for that video en Youtube, you will smile again! ;P

Please help, appreciated in advance.
I am also in an encryption unsuccessfull loop and have tried several options to get it out.
Installed RSDLite and tried to install several different roms, it comes back with failed at step 6/22 .
I managed to get into the boot menu and tried to "install upgrade from SD Card" several JB roms but they all failed at package validation errors.
it is an xt910 running on optus australia, i think it's gsm.
any help greatly appreciated, thanks

im stuck on the same
Restored the Tablet TF101 back to stock rooted and everything worked. Installed CWM Did factory reset system wipes etc. Tried to install 3 different CM 10 all failed bad installation. Tried to installed the newest TWRP same thing I can't seem to install any rom from the external or internal just keeps saying bad?
What errors did TWRP tell you?
For TWRP why not download the GOO app from the playstore and find the option in the menu to allow it to install the open recovery script for you?
Had similar issues with my S4 with a particular rom but youve tried a few so i doubt its down to the download sites.
You may have to format the emmc and see how that goes as a last resort. (just make sure you have a rom placed on a micro sd as it will completely wipe the TF again but still keep your recovery)
Okay. I need some help. I'm not a complete noob and have flashed a device or two in my day, but I'm struggling to solve my problem. I have a wingray. Any help or insight would be much appreciated. I succesfullly did the big part mod a few weeks ago. Everything has been good running omni rom, flashed a few updates and all worked out. Yesterday I attempeted to reboot the tablet through the power menu. On reboot, it stuck at the motorola boot screen. I got into recovery but nothing is mounted and so I cant restore or flash or wipe anything. My SD card and storage show as 0 files. I've tried manually mounting but nothing happens. Then I tried fastbooting the bigpart recovery image. It was successfull but I still cant mount any partitions. I was searching for sbf files to possibly use rsd to flash. As of yet I cant seem to find the US wingray image files. If anyone can give me any help on solving this issue or redirecting me to the proper rsd files if that might work I would appreciate it. Thanks
Problem solved. Fastbooted factory image files then clockwork recovery (tried flashing twrp but had mounting issues)
Hope this can help someone else who might run into this situation.

Okay, so I have a slight problem. I was trying to install Cyanogen mod. I followed the directions, first installing the zip from TWRP, then i flashed the boot.img. After that, i tried booting it up. For some strange reason, it wouldn't boot up. it would get to a certain point, then it simply rebooted all over again. After trying a few more things, I finally decided i should reset it to the stock rom. The only problem is, i do not have S-Off, and to get S-Off, i need to boot into the normal mode. I then remembered i could probably do that from the SD card, but when i tried, ADB complained with a permissions error. Upon further investigation, I then found that I couldn't even mount the SD card. I tried using a different version of TWRP, and every other version couldn't even start up. When i tried, it rebooted before actually getting to the recovery. I decided to try CWM. That at least opened fine, but it also was unable to mount the SD card. I also tried flashing the stock rom zip files using the rebootRUU command, but that came up with an "Unknown error". At this point, i think this could all be resolved if i had S-Off, but i cannot do so. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it with only fastboot, or if anyone had any other ideas on how to get it working.
Thanks in advance.
