[Q] CWM won't install Cyanogenmod 10 - HELP!! - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone, installed CWM and all that stuff. I downloaded cm-10.0.0-crespo.zip and mounted my usb storage, put it in the root folder, then rebooted into CWM. I formatted system, and went to install it from zip. I choose it, and it acts like it's gonna install it, but then I get an error at Opening update package:
E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-10.0.0-crespo.zip
(bad)
I tried rebooting, but it gets stuck at the Google screen. I can't mount USB storage in CWM for some reason, so I can't fix/replace the zip. I think I'm screwed. Is there a way to fix this??
Help is greatly appreciated!

Follow the directions for unbricking using nexus root tool kit... And then on how to flash a ROM...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Also could be a bad download, try re-downloading. Could also try to sideload from CWM. Also would recommend CM10.1 RC5 much better then 10.0 and faster too.

How do you side load? Whenever I try it gives me this list of commands.

Reboot to bootloader,
Select recovery to start CWM
Select -install zip from sideload
ON Computer open command window
IN Command window: ADB sideload cm-10.1.0-RC5-crespo.zip
this is assuming that cm-10.1.0-RC5-crespo.zip is in the same directory as ADB

I had the same problem.. I downloaded Cyanogenmod from it's original site 3 times.. and every time I got the (bad) error and it wouldn't install...
I was downloading it with IDM and every one of those files failed to install..
Then I downloaded via the browser bypassing my download accelerator.. and bamm! it works...
So sometimes the answer is so simple and so stupid.. it leaves you stupified!

Force closes after Clockwork Install

I installed clockwork and on the bootup I recied the following error.
"The process Android.process.acore has suddenly stopped. I then pressed Force close and it booted up. Now everything I do gives me the same error.
If I try to get into clockwork by holding the power and volume up it says "Booting recovery kernel" and then continues to boot up. Then I still have all the errors all the time. Please help, I am a total tablet newbie.'
thanks
Clockwork is not installed.
I will try to install it again.
thanks

Make sure you have an update.zip, and a recovery folder with a command file in it. If you don't have the recovery folder you can get it from most any of the roms. The command file inside needs to say either sdcard, or sdcard2 depending on how you are trying to install. sdcard=interna, sdcard2=external. You can open it and look with a simple text editor like notepad. It does not have an extension on it. Just command....
Someone was trying to do the same thing yesterday with no recovery folder/command file is why I tell you this...
When I look in the file manager on thye tablet I can see the micro sd (SD2) but after hooking up the USB cable I cannot see SD2. How to I copy the Update.zip if I cannot see SD2?

Read my post above. You move the stuff to your internal sdcard. Make sure the command file points to sdcard...
I thought I read somewhere that in order to install clockwork I needed to use SD2?
Put it on the internal sdcard and change the command file check this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892090
You are probably gonna need to wipe data and cache after you get clockwork installed
This is what I see in the command file:
--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip

There are a whole bunch of clockwork versions but I would use .8... It works with most of the roms. The .12 clockwork was really made to be used with Bekits Cyanogenmod version that has the memory locations mapped differently..

Good. If you want to do it from an external sdcard then change that to say sdcard2 and away you go...
that would be correct for installing on the internal sdcard
put the update.zip for clockwork and recovery/command on the internal and then reboot with power/vol+
Thanks,
I got clockwork installed. Is wiping data and cache the same as wipe data/factory reset?

So you have a stock tablet? Haven't installed anything but clockwork? Just trying to figure out where we are... And what you are trying to do..
It is rooted still as I have the super user permissions. When I first got it I( had that interface that it came with with was a weather screen. I thought I went to 2.0 but I guess not. I just want to get up to the best version that I should use. I want to have the full market and g mail too.

Hey fellow G2x's. I rooted my phone today and attempted to install CM7 nightly #56. FIrst of all...
I tried just downloading the rom via rom manaer, clicked wipe data and wipe cache. When I did it tried to install and asid "Could not open cm7nightlyetc..." And then it proceeded to reboot itself as if it was a new phone.
I then tried to do it via recovery. First whenever I click install from zip card then choose zip from sdcard, the only file I can see is LOST.DIR/ even though I deliberately moved the rom into the sdcard/. I was met with the same problem.
During both the encounters. a triangle with an ! appears, with a little android dude next to it. WHat does this mean? What do I need to do to fix this?

First rule of G2X/Tegra2 club... don't use Rom Manager. Use CWR for all your flashing needs. *Install CWR via NVFlash only.
Alright, I'm sorry but I came the G2.... And I was wondering what NVFlash is? I'm gonna google it, but it will be nice if you answer it too.
Setting up NVFlash
Here's the guide to setting up NVFlash. It's a moderately challenging process, but it's seamless after getting it put on your G2x. This is the only way to get CWM without issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
Oh, and remember to go into C: on your computer and make the folder "G2x". This is where you put the files from NVFlash.

First - the above is the truth - learned the hard way by many.
From the "triangle" comment, I would have thought you were not able to get into recovery anymore, but you said you had tried flashing in recovery - are you still able to get into recovery? Also, when you said you moved the file to the SD - internal or external?
You could re-download the ROM on you computer and/or move the one you downloaded when in USB connect mode if you can connect through USB. and then try flashing it again.
Otherwise - did you do an nandroid back-up first (add that to the G2X Club rules). If so, and you can get into recovery, you can restore it through recovery. If not, you are truly back to square one (except for rooted).
At some point, you need to NVflash a real recovery. The one-click method in the Dev section is the easier way to go. If you can't get into recovery (you only see the triangle and it only does a factory reset), then you HAVE to start there.
Yeah I am still able to get to recovery mode. And external sdcard.
I think i'm just gonna go staright to the NVFlash way. I have a history class today so I have a hour and a half to burn.
And thanks guys for all the inputs.
I'm loving my G2x so far. So fast and sleek
All you need to do is NVFlash once, just so you can get into recovery on a bootloop (Power+VolDown)
After you install NVFlash once, you can use RomManager all you want (I do).
Rom Manager will install a temp recovery initially, but it won't affect your permanent NVFlash recovery. So just do both. Rom Manager will work perfectly fine without doing a NVFlash, but an NVFlash just enables the option to get into recovery on a cold boot.
Every day, I launch Rom Manager and it will find the latest Nightly and download it plus Google Apps, prompts for Full Wipe, Backup, or Cache options, then it will reboot, flash the items, and reboot back into Android.
So, again, NVFlash just enables Power+VolDown to get into recovery but Rom Manager works great without it. You SHOULD do BOTH initially and just get it out of the way.
Alright thanks. I just installed via NVFlash and now I will try again to install CM7

Agree with all the above (I have and use both), except for making nandroids, which was not mentioned above. The only ones where I have had a check-sum issue with trying to restore are nandroids I did with ROM Manager. I would stick with doing them straight from recovery.
Others have had issues with flashing nightlies also, but I have not noticed that as I always head straight to recovery to flash.
Question - I had flashed real recoveries with ROM manager on MT4G - why the "false" recovery issue on G2X?
So player, once I have NVFLASH and CWM, I can download ROM manager to backup/restore/flash any ROM from the list without worrying about anything?
Hey, I installed the 4.0.0.3 and I still have the same problem. I can't see any roms I put on the SD card, and when I try to install it by naming it update.zip it gives me the same error. Any ideas?
OKay so here is what happens
Installing: /sdcard/update.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directoy)
Installation aborted
THere is definately a file there. I just named it that cause it wont shop up when i choose zip from sd card.
I would redownload the zip file over the computer, happened to me before with a different rom, make sure it doesnt unzip. and then drag it to your SD card.
Okay I am perfomring that now, will edit with results.
My goodness... I think you fixed it for me. I feel like an idoit. I've been saving it to hte internal Sdcard i didn't even know that was possible.
Damnit... same problem.
Yay I got it. Thanks so much guys for all the help.

The ROMs were probably going to the internal SD by default. Just move them with a file manager to the external SD (unless you set up recovery to use the internal SD).
Also, do not rename them update zip - leave the names as-is so you will know what your are dealing with if you have multiple ROMs .
Then you flash it as a zip file on SD card - not as "update.zip" - that would be for the OTA update - if we ever actually see one for the G2X!
Good job Gman
Different roms put the external SD card in different places.
By default Rom Manager is set to read/write to /sdcard/... not /sdcard/external_SD that is the norm with the stock(based) roms.
Once you have CM7 on there and everything setup under standard conditions, Rom Manager will work as it should.

[Q] HeLp

im not sure what im missing- i have smooth maximus x, rom manager, and it has the recovery or whatev- but when i boot into recovery it boots the stock one- wtf! the menu for rom manager is not flashing the img. it says it is. just erased everything for nothing!problem?
If its going to the stock recovery, its working fine! when you are on stock recovery menu, choose install packages (or whatever it is) and that will get you into clockwork recovery.
But its not loading to clockworks revovery. It just goes to standard start up when that option is selected.
correction
Sorry correction- I try that, and it says "signature verififaction failed- installation aborted." Why?

why are you using ROM manager to flash the recovery if your on SMX ? SMX has bali 2.2 in it wich has CWM built into the kernel so your recovery should be the RED voodoo CWM recovery by default. and if stock blue recovery is coming up for some reason yu should be able to reinstall packages cause SMX has the modded stock recovery already
No no no, I'm not on smx- I'm trying to install the darn thing. I'm still on the stock rom. When I boot into recovery there are 4 options-
Reboot now
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Install packages
When selecting install packages, it fails via signature verification. There are no cwm recovery options available, either.
ooh .. your problem is you have to be rooted which im sure you already are ..
then go to the CWM thread in the DEV section and apply the modded recovery to system/bin . this will make the recovery ignore the signature check so you can flash CWM then SMX
use root explorer or adb push this file
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2993191/recovery
to /system/bin
then put this file on the root of ur sd
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2993191/update.zip
and put maximus x rom on ur sd
reboot recovery
reinstall packages
now ur in cwm
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
Go to mounts and storage
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
install zip from sd
choose zip from sd
look for maximus x rom install and u should be good
after you flash, go back to mounts and storage (before rebooting) and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
this is as easy as i can put it
Thank you very muych for your persistence to help! I am a noob and cannot find the ty button. I'm a newb, I know.HOWEVER....…I am not a newb to this in general, and I have tried that already. I read that forum . Duh!this is what happens when trying to move the file to sys.bin:
Root explorer says:
Paste operation failed-
Does not say why. I found a solution! Another forum says to downgrade to stock recovery e2, then cwm will work. But I have to get odin and crap. So if there is something I'm STILL missing, and can't move the file there for that reason, don't hesitate to enlighten me.
you need to move the modded recovery to /system/bin/recovery, anything that tells you to downgrade is not correct, as we do not have anything to 'downgrade' to. The modded recovery from Krylon does the same thing. you should be following this:
1. download the recovery.zip from krylon
2. extract the .zip and copy the recovery file to your sdcard
3. use root explorer to copy the recovery from the sdcard to /system/bin/recovery
if it fails, make sure that /system is mounted as read write, rather than read only, there should be a button in root recovery to mount read/write.
Thank you sir! I was comitting a syntax error... maybe by attempting to copy the file from the wrong directory. No, the downgrade works... I was reffering to e2 recovery for samsung rather than e3 which requires signature ver. But that takes waaaaaay longer. So thank you. I was trying to copy the whole zip, rather than the actual file because I thought I had extracted it(stupid). But yeah. Ty! Will see if cwm works now.
Glad to hear that it worked for you, let me know how cwm works out for you, as well as whatever parts come after that for you. Don't forget the Thanks button if someone helps you
The files are in their proper places, all is right.
But when I boot into recovery, I am startled with fright!
For its still normal, its still stock-
So help me ill throw this phone like a rock!
Haha. But seriously. Still same issue.
FAILS TO INSTALL ANYTHING
"Signature verification failed- installation aborted."
It seems I will have to do it the hard way by installing e2. This was this issue for the galaxy s.
Why does no one else with a sidekick have to do this!!!!? Why is it not giving y'all signature verification errors! Why is there no video yet?
Sig verification issues relate to the recovery. it should still look like stock, as the original CWM is a fake flash. Make sure you have the cwm update.zip from Krylon's thread in your sdcard.
It is!!!!!! I think I'm going to cry.
Recovery is saved (overwrite) as instructed.
Update is on sd card as instructed.
Can't be corrupted, deleted files and tried again.
Boot into recovery and stock shows (as it should.)
Re-install from package (only option other than data wipe and reboot)
Whole signature failure
Signature verification failure
Installation aborted. :'(
i'll make you a script and a zip of everything to do this for you later, but that won't be until a bit later, still have to drive my girl home. in the meantime, can you try redownloading the cwm from ayo's original post? also, have you tried the rom manager version of cwm?
Roger that.
And it would be greatly appreciated. If it is, however, just another list of the instructions as mentione previously in this thread, or in the original rom post, forget it. But if there's something new then sure. Heck, a video would be great. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one watching it either. And I will redownload all of it again(non-existant jesus christ) and try again in the meantime. Thank you again for your effort and supporth surely it must be that I am the only on with this issue. So I am unique on xda! Silly video...
i could even go so far as to skype someone to SHOW them ive got it right or what i have done, in which case i would hope for an "ah ha!now that thurz ya problem right thur neow."
Ok, I have a script for you, it's semi-tested? I already have root in my adb, so I can't test it as well, but it should work. let me know what happens. just unzip this, and run the run.bat.
this will reboot you into recovery after it's done, so make sure you're not doing anything on your phone when you run it.
https://sites.google.com/a/stephenduvick.com/www/files/sk4gtestoneclickroot.zip?attredirects=0&d=1
Credit to Noobnl for the original script, and krylon for the fake flash.
So how exactly do I run the run.bat? Its not an exe or script file... is there a command list I need to put in? (Gawd, the last custom rom I installed(cliq xt) was so much easier, before there even was a clockwork mod. It was easier, and that was when it was the hard way!) And my phone is already rooted, sure that doesn't matter though.

[Q] Help: No software installed and can't boot

Hi guys
It has been a long time since my phone has been this bad.
So last night I go to charge my phone because I had ZERO battery. So I turned it on and then plugged it in. The phone booted fine but then I noticed that the screen was not shutting off. I even tried hitting the "Go to sleep" button from the pull down menu and nothing happened. I also realized the phone was not loading my calendar. When I went into the file manager it didn't show SDCARD 1 or 2.
I decided to clear the memory (dalvik + cache) = SAME PROBLEM
I did a factory restore = same problem
Finally I cleared the system = now i have no OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE PHONE
I went to the external sd card and tried to install the latest version of OMNI....IT SAYS IT CANT READ FROM THE SD CARD.
I also tried to copy the file from external sd to internal sd card and it says FAILED
I don't' know what to do...
I am using Team Win Recovery Project 2.6.3.0
I have the latest omni rom on my external sd card. I can see it but install fails.
Please help :crying:

Calm down dear. Same happened with me. I formatted /system and find that I don't have any operating system in my mobile.
Just pluggin your mobile in recovery mode to your PC. transfer the file-> Flash the ROM-> Gapps -> BINGO..
BTW, wrong area for creating a thread.
Don't worry. Do what D™ said.
Alternatively you can use "adb sideload" method. I used it once with Philz recovery. In sideload method, you won't need to copy the file in Sdcard. File existing on pc can be directly flashed. This would help if you still face problems copying file to Sdcard. Search it on google. You will find steps for it.
A bit more clear please...

Thanks dude! I will give it a try and post a response! It was just so strange that I couldn't see any of the drives (sdcard 1 or 2) in filemanager. I guess something must have got corrupted? Right now I am trying to push from adb method mentioned from Nikhil.
I am following this procedure.

PS. the android SDK is massive!
ADB FAIL
ADB IS WAY TOO complicated for me right at this moment (actually exhausted).
********Can someone provide me with a ICS download link? *******************
I'm going to try out the ODIN method

Download Stock Indian ICS
Btw, adb sideload method is as follows.
0. Install adb for windows (assuming you have windows). (There shouldn't be any driver missing)
1. Enter into sideload mode in recovery
2. Open cmd in computer with the directory in which zip file is kept. (shift + right click -> open command prompt here would do)
3. Enter adb sideload xyz.zip
Thats it.
I've tried it with TWRP recovery in my friend's phone. It didnt work. But When I tried with Philz recovery, It worked well.
Anyway, if you are finding it complicated, flash stock ics.
Edit : Did you try "mount usb storage" in recovery? because it is required to do. else computer won't recognize your device.
success!
OK so I successfully flashed via ODIN....Can I directly flash omni now? I am assuming yes...Can I flash it through ODIN?
Also can you recommend any good versions of ICS? It is really quite a bit faster than omni...
AGAIN thank you all

Omni is best until now.
you can't flash omni via odin. Flash Philz or TWRP first and then flash omni.
Lv5 ZCLPD is best ICS Rom. But I would choose Omni over Lv5,
reinstall twrp?
