[Q] Error while installing new rom - unlocked bootloader - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to install the nexesque rom for my Razr Maxx HD (http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/9151-rom-droid-nexesque-for-razr-hd-372013/). I am running 4.1.2 rooted w/ an unlocked bootloader, but after I wipe everything and try to install the zip file I get:
Starting Installation...
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/romfolder/Nexesque_RazrH #I think these last two lines were cut off
Updating partition details...
It also changes from 'Flashing file 1 of 1' to 'Flashing file 1 of 0'
I have already wiped my phone and would hopefully like to be able to install this or another rom without having to try to backup to the old one (I didnt back up data, just system and boot).
Thanks

Have you mounted system? U need to be on the correct kernel.

[Q] Installation Aborted(Status 7)while Flashing GingerBread

HI,
I have recently compiled and flashed the 2.3.4-r1 Ginger Bread on my Nexus S
using these commands
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase userdata
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase cache
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash boot out/target/product/crespo/boot.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash system out/target/product/crespo/system.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/crespo/userdata.img
But now I want to go back and load the default image-2.3.6 Gingerbread (GRK39F) (which was there at the time of purchasing Nexus S).Is there a way to do this.I downloaded the ROM for it from somewhere on the net and stored it internally on my Nexus S but when I am going into the fastboot mode and then recovery and when trying to install from sd card option by selecting the downloaded ROM I am getting this error(error Attached)

It seems the package you downloaded is for upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. Try the full OTA ROM for your phone model from the link in my signature

OK I will try the 2.3.6 .I will use the same procedure as used earlier.
Copying the ROM to internal memory and then select the ZIP file from the sd card.I hope wipe data/cache will be optional.
Thanks suksit !! It worked.I have my previous ROM now.I am happy !
Could you plz tell that why I didnt get more options in the Android Recovery Mode?I saw somethign clockwork Recovery , do I need to install such ROM?
RGds,
Softy
TRy downloading the correct rom from the below link. Make sure you check your phone model (9020/23 3G/4G etc)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
Edit: I see that it is resolved now.. enjoy
You need an older recovery. Had the same issue but when using 3.x instead of 5.0.2.x the status 7 issue went away.

You have to install ClockworkMod recovery in order to get those options. It's not a ROM, it's a recovery image that you flash to replace the stock recovery.
You'll need it if you want to flash custom ROM, custom kernel, or other modifications that comes in an unsigned zip file. Otherwise you can just stick to the stock recovery.
Other benefits of CWM recovery are backup and restore functions, mount options, and the ability to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, etc.
To install CWM recovery, you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash it using fastboot command. I'd recommend you to follow the guides in Nexus S General section if you want to do it.

[Q] Need Help Please

Firstly im not new to android and certainly not new to unlocking/rooting/flashing custom ROMs. However, I might as well have been considering the rookie mistakes I made last night. A very good friend of mine has a Moto Razr HD and asked me to get CM11 on there after seeing it on my Nexus 5. No problem. Yeah right.
Heres what has transpired. It is XT925 and I unlocked it via the official Moto Unlock website. No troubles there. Then instead of rooting I flashed TWRP via fastboot. No problem. Boot into recovery, FAILED to make nandroid! I was tired and rushed and just totally skipped it. Such a rookie mistake. Then I attempted to flash CM11. Wiped, install and it fails. Tried sideloading root, and then the ROM still fails. This is the error I keep getting
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-11-20131230-NIGHTLY
Updating partition details.....
Failed
I would quite sincerely appreciate any help that could be had here. I have still working twrp, and I can still see all the data on the sdcard. Oh, and I did try another ROM. Same thing happens

[Q] STUCK ON CM 9.1 r13/CANT FLASH OTHER ROMS

Hi,
I need some help. Firstly I'm quite a noob so please go easy on me, have only flashed/rooted a couple of phones before this...both with pretty much no issues.
I flashed the CM 9.1 A while back to improve it, and decided I wanted to change it due to few bugs annoying me too much...such as the restarts, crazy battery life and most annoyingly of all calls only being able to be heard on loudspeaker! Buts can't seem to get any other rom to flash - tried 2 - samsation v6.0 kerneldev101 & MikTouch- 0.7-signed.
When trying to flash firstly 'samsation v6.0' i encountered an error code '"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "pyramid"
E:\Error in /storage/sdcard0/samsation v6.0.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
and to try and overcome this I opened the updater script from rom zip and deleted the line 'assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "pyramid" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "pyramid");'.....after reading in forums it could be this. After this line is deleted the flash attempt is 'opening update package...installing update...installation aborted'
I then tried MikTouch 0.7 and it came up with the 'status 7' error, so I deleted the first line of the updater script and now I am getting a 'status 4' error...even if I try to flash thru rom manager - CWM app.
Driving me crazy! Any help much appreciated.
even tried a different SD card to see if that makes a difference....and nope
installed new CWM - V6.0.4.6 after reading that may be the prob. no difference
To be honest it all P'd me off so much just went and bought myself the Moto G instead...but would still like to fix this one and get it even back to a stock like ROM so at least it functions properly but without all the bloatware.
Use TWRP instead of CWM. This should fix the issue.
Tried it thru the twrp app and it just launches into cwm recovery and does same status 4 error
Thanks for replying though!

I didn't mean the app found on Play Store. I meant the actual TWRP recovery.
You'll have to connect your phone to your PC, boot into bootloader, and flash the TWRP recovery, which will replace the existing CWM recovery.
Moto g looks like a great phone for the price, but I would want to fix my double shot too.
First off, the getprop errors you were getting were saying you were trying to flash a ROM for sensation on your doubleshot, not a good idea, don't delete getprop from updater-script no matter what the internet says, this is a good warning
Don't use an app for flashing, use recovery
But before you proceed any further I would suggest to boot into bootloader and write down every thing from that screen here, word for word
Then you will be sure to get the exact links and info, I wouldn't do anything until then, not to say @abe5 is having you bad info, he is correct, but I have a feeling there may be more info needed here

Hi,
OK thanks to both of you for your help! ...I guess I would rather check/be sure than do something worse to my phone.
Your right Moto G is great phone..I am pretty impressed so far...for the price. Only let down is the camera....I miss the doubleshot great camera...but you cant have it all....well not for £130

Don't use CWM above 6.0.2.5 for flashing an older ROM. 6.0.4.6 is designed for KitKat and will fail older ROMs.
everything looks good on bootloader so the issue is with recovery or rom.zip
personally i think its the rom.zip, but I also recommend TWRP recovery
so i would download twrp (without dumblock) from HERE
and flash with fastboot, also do some erasing in fastboot for good mesure
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
the md5sum for recovery is listed next to download, be sure it matches use command line on linux or this for windows
but what i really think is the problem is the roms, bad download or whatever, the status 4 and status 7 are related to updater script, so either you playing with them messed them up or they were corrupt from the start
md5sum for MikTouch-0.7-signed.zip should be BAE9153946B02251621547DBFB537387
if not re download
now it is possible that the newer recoveries f\wont flash older roms, like Fuzi0719 said, but in theory they should and i have not had issues myself
but if need be weekends has posted older recoveries HERE be sure to thank him
flash with fastboot if you TWRP fails you
also when i see this --Installing: /storage/sdcard0/MikTouch-0.7-signed.zip
make me wonder, if i am correct the path on this phone is just /sdcard/MikTouch-0.7-signed.zip
but i cant recall as it has been months since i used my doubleshot, its just how i remember even the newer recoveries find sdcard path here
so maybe for good measure take everything important off sdcard and format to fat32
then put new rom on the root freshly formatted sdcard (not in any folders) before you flash
hope it all works out, if there is an issue let us know!
well I spent the whole evening mucking about with it and I have conquered it. Thanks guys for all the help...couldn't have done it without you!
After firstly having to switch to an older laptop as win 8.1 not compatible with htc drivers ...
I flashed TWRP and tried to flash new rom (miktouch 0.7) again through that, said failed. then tried to install the current ROM CM9.1 just out of interest which it also 'failed'
then considered the cwm comment about version, so flashed cwm 5.5.0.4. thru Hasoon 2000's ALL in 1 kit I still had. I then tried to reflash the current CM9.1 again, and it went through.....At the same time it occurred to me about me having 'messed' with the script files of MikTouch 0.7 ...maybe being the cause, so luckily, I had an original copy of the rom zip (kept justin kase lol) and then tried this method.
I now don't know if it was the script file or the cwm version number but hallelujah it WORKED. I honestly thought I was stuck on cm9.1 forever, I've spent so much time reading/trying to flash anything else!
Can't thank you all enough, whatever it was, I think I have overcome it now! phew.

XT925 Updating to KK fail + Bootloader mess

Hey there fellas,
Being a part time/spare time "mod wanna be", I've successfully modded different cell phones every now and then.
Lately I bought, 2nd hand, a XT925 running as it was in the attached screen shot + unlocked BL, rooted and CWMR touch 6.0.4.4.
Since the phone was rebooting itself kinda often, since I've been told that Epinters builds was JBBL based and also based on the phone info 3.0.x Kernel, I thought it was ok to flash a stock ROM and after that, upgrade to KK via OTA.
I've flashed the JB 4.1.2 BR Retail via fastboot and everything went ok. I let it boot, ran through configurations and just made myself sure that basic options were working ok. The OTA pops up, I downloaded it and proceed to install...an error pops up while it was somewhere around 25-30% of the flashing process.
I talked to the previous owner and he said that he went to CM because the cell never was able to install OTAs, there was always errors on the installation process.
With that in mind, I proceed to research some tutorials about alternative methods on how to install KK OTA.
I've found one here and another one on other forum, which was more suited to my needs since I'm at Brazil. Both are suggesting the same method:
Requirements:
1.Stock/unmodified JB4.1.2
2.Stock recovery
3.Unrooted
4.Bootloader unlocked
Since I met all the requirements, I proceeded to give it a try.
The next steps was:
1.Download a JB custom recovery and flash it via fastboot
2.Correct OTA installed on the external SD card
3.Install the OTA via custom recovery
4.install KK custom recovery
5.Root
Steps 1 and 2 were ok but again, while attempting to flash the OTA there was errors. Since Ive tried the whole process several times with different files, doing MD5 checksums, with different custom recoveries, I may divide the errors in 2 separate categories:
Error category 1:
While verifying current system, different .apks has unexpected contents. Status 7 as the final status error.
Since I was battling with this for 36 hours non stop, just before going to have some sleep, I decided to format internal SD since I thought maybe there was some leftovers from previous installations.
Apparently everything went ok and i proceed to flash the another SBF this time (I was trying the JB4.1.2 BR Retail). Since I've heard one of the latest KK kernel was the DE I decided to give it a try. Downloaded it from the official motorola page and flahed it via fastboot. This time I didn't stayed on front of PC because I needed some coffee! When I cam back, everything seemed to be ok since there was a message at the end saying so.
Phone rebooted and JB4.1.2 was installed, basic configurations done and OTA downloaded through the cell phone. Installation failed again! With this OTA fail already in mind, I previously downloaded the DE OTA from a post here and had it downloaded already to the external SD card. Installed JB custom recovery and proceed to flash the OTA...it failed again!
There was almost 40 hours without sleeping so my brain didn't allowed me to keep going.
After 10 hours of rest, I was back to keep fighting....and there comes the next type of errors:
Error category 1 +2 +3+4
1+2+3 because after several attempts on the whole process, the error 1 popped up some times, there was, as well, a new error (error 2) while flashing the OTA via custom recovery (please see the attached screen shot).
Finally, the errors 3+4 (actually the error number 3 is the one I'm concerned the most about). Its sort of a bootloader menu error message and the error number 4 shows up while trying to flash SBF and or Custom recoveries and they are as follow
Bootloader menu error message:
10.98(*) (sha-5b608bc, 2012-11-23 19:48:44)
eMMC Info: Size16GB
Device is UNLOCKED. status code: 3
Fastboot reason: Boot menu selected
USB Connected
downgraded security version
Update gpt_main version failed
Pre flash validation failed for gpt
Fastboot error messages while trying to flash SBFs and or custom recoveries
<bootloader> Variable not supported!
target max-download-size: 30MB
FAILURED (remote failure)
My conclusions/doubts are as follows:
1.Does that internal SD format has something to do with the bootloader menu errors message? I feel it has started to show up after I did it...maybe it's just coincidence though!
2.The .xml editing part still making me feel something suspicious about the Fastboot error messages.
3.Does that Epinters CM11 KK 4.4.4 Kernel 3.0.101-11512-g9511901 has something to do with that scaring Bootloader error message about downgrading?
...or is it just me being a noob?!?
However, If you came this far, congrats! I really truly respect your commitment to help people and your passion for computer/programming/Android related things!
People like this are the real responsible for bringing men out of caves all the way through the days we live in and as far as to reach the moon!
Now if you help me to get out of this and reach my goal of having KK4.4.4 official DE(or any newest other one which works where I live), rooted, unlocked BL, I'll be more than happy to ask for your permission to invite you to some beers!
Cheers!

thats a lot to process lol
i have a 926 not a 925 and know nothing about the specifics of updating.
however, you have and may have made some universal errors.
- when flashing with rsd a couple partitions can not be flashed equal or downgraded. these are tz/trustzone and gpt/partitioning file. therefore these lines need to be edited out of the xml unless you are upgrading. thats why you have the fastboot error, from trying to downgrade the partition table. any correct flash, updating or removing the partition and tz lines, should make this go away.
- as far as the update files. if they are true update pulls and not modified files made to flash in custom recovery, they need to be flashed in stock recovery, not cwm. without seeing the post the files came from, i cant say which you have, but the poster should have identified which they are.
there isnt much else i can comment on, but hope that helps get you on the right path.
Thanks for stopping by, reading and replying!
I'll try to touch it point by point, saying so:
1. I have flashed several times attempting to succeed on this, all of them I've used Fastboot.
2. I didn't knew, nor read nothing anywhere about the partitions that can not be flashed equal or downgraded anywhere I researched before I decided to proceed.
3. I've got what you said and I pretty much agree with that, in fact, i was pretty sure about that there was some mistake(s) in the .xml.
4. "Fastboot error, from trying to downgrade the partition table. Any correct flash, updating or removing the partition and tz lines, should make this go away." Are you talking about the following error?
"downgraded security version
Update gpt_main version failed
Pre flash validation failed for gpt"
...if so, thank God, it scared me to dead!
- As for the update files, I followed the tutorials and it was clearly stated that they was meant to be flashed using a JBBL custom recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760840&page=60 (Post #599)
Thanks again and from where I'm at atm, any kind of input helps a lot!

yes, that error should be fixed by any good flash.
if for some reason its not, get "mfastboot" and flash the most current version you have ever had on the phone and *** flash the partition file first, followed by the rest of the files. mfastboot can write equal partition files. if the partition file flash fails, you dont have the newest one.
hopefully re-flashing without the partition file works, then you wont need to mess with mfastboot.
looks like that is a modified ota file as you stated, sorry but i cant help with whatever the issue is with that part.

Problems flashing KatKiss 5.1_030c ROM

I am running an Asus TF101 B90 tablet. I have just rooted and installed KatKiss 4.4.4_036. I am using ClockworkMod v 3.2.0.1 roach2010-tf101-r1 for recovery. This appears to work fine. I have tried the defined step,s both before and after flashing the 4.4.4 ROM, to flash the 5.1 ROM without success. I have tried this with both a full wipe and without. The results are always the same. After it starts the install the system gives me the following error messages:
Set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/KatKiss-5.1_030.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
I have the same issue with KatKiss-5.1_030c.zip. Yesterday was the first time I rooted an android device. Any recommendations on what and how I need to change things so I can move to Lollipop? Thanks.

You need to install a recent recovery
See the link in the 1st post of the rom installation instructions
Thanks!

Tim,
First of all thanks so much for your work keeping the ASUS TF101 alive and working! It means a great deal. I did flash the TWRP 2.8.1 recovery system. That worked fine. I was then able to flash the KatKiss-5.1_030c ROM. I am now running Lollipop 5.1.1! Two questions. I ran Root Checker Basic. It can no longer validate that I am rooted, though it could when I ran 4.4.4. Is this to be expected or is there something I need to fix? Secondly, Lollipop seems a bit slower than 4.4.4. Is this to be expected or is there something I need to change to up performance? Thanks.
John
