When I try to manually update my Nexus One with the newer non-OTA update. Everything is fine until I get to the section where you can use the trackball. From there I get, "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" Later, after trying to verify the package I get, "E:signature verification failed" and aborts the install. Tried someone's advice about taking the battery out and putting it back in but still nothing. Please advise.
I assume your bootloader is unlocked. What recovery are you using? Amon_RA's?
My bootloader is not unlocked, but will be today. I was under the impression that as long as the file was named "update.zip" it could be done without it. Ah well. So today I am going through the steps to put the desire rom on the phone.

I'm having the same issue, also not rooted. Its really annoying me and I'm quite worried about it since I'm not receiving the 2.2.2 OTA and I'm worried I won't be able to install 2.3 when it arrives.
If anyone knows a fix please reply!
This is some really good progress.

Try updating your recovery. And be patient.
Maybe post the full error message too, that could help.

thanks for the response Ive used the latest recovery and all it does is attempt to install it then it shows the path of the file installation aborted error status 7
The ROM zip is most probably corrupted or incomplete. It does happens often.
Try flashing your current ROM zip. If it flashes without issues then I am 101% sure that the error is due to corrupted or incomplete .zip

What ROM were u one before this happened?
And RU flashing via recovery or ROM manager app?
What do u format / clean up before u flash any ROM?
And u were a flashaholic in the past, the u could have some unwanted or useless files in ur SD card that could be causing the error.
So ID recommend cleaning up or reformating ur SD card and just put back the necessary files to flash. Then once ur back up, put back all ur files that u want or need(media, games, pics...etc)
Thx

Make sure you're wiping everything. And also, more importantly, that the rom is for your variant of the Nexus.
If you have Nexus S 4G from sprint, you use Crespo4g, if not, use the Nexus S. or Crespo.
Edit: Apologies, I thought you said you WERE new.
I'll just leave this post in case anyone new stumbles up on this thread.
You're flashing the wrong ROM.
Maybe you have mistaken "Nexus" for "Nexus S"
Hey guys. me again................sadly. here's what happened. i placed a few custom roms on my sd card and tried to flash them unto my infuse 4G using the three finger salute with the factory wipe/cache wipe method. my phone is rooted(thanks a bunch to u guys) and i started getting E: signature verification failed or failed to verify the whole file with all of them. even my original update zip and recovery (3e). seemed just to not work. i rebooted and now i cant retrieve my backups,my wifi refuses to connect and continuous pop ups of whats not workin on my phone anymore are rampant....especially google play. even superuser even tho the app is there it shows errors as well. please tell me what to do to fix the problem......i really want to experience ics and jelly bean and im stuck wit gingerbread and it seems like i missed a step or a download somewhere. also recently my phones memory is being chewed up. jus like that i have 26,32 even 40 apps running. mind u i did not activate them......please help

sooo please tell me what going on right now, what is the state of your device, you are able to get into recovery correct? its not the stock recovery which is recovery 3e. it turns on but allot of the apps are not working. so since the signature verification failed, you are going to go to (this is assuming you have CWM NOT STOCK RECOVERY) install zip from sdcard then toggle signature verification, and try to reflash the rom you wanted and since the google play store isent working on your device you need to flash the gapps. it needs to be the version of android the rom you want to flash. (gingerbread roms dont need it but ICS and JB need it) just google gapps and look for the android version of what the rom is.

That's the second time you've insinuated I didn't read the thread. I can read perfectly well, thank you. At one point he let on he didn't know which recovery he had installed and then he let on he may have CMW. Unless you have something to actually contribute to this thread or a valid question, I'd appreciate it if we just don't communicate with each other. It's a waste of space, which drives up server costs and i don't much like you.

Hi,
the automatic update process in my nexus 5 just launched and i thought great. But then it rebooted into my twrp recovery which really didnt do anything except for aborting the process rather quickly. With no error whatsoever i reboot, go and See that my phone is still on 4.4. So what the heck should i do to get this working ? I had no success in search for my problem, or everyone just assumes that you have to know this stuff . Well i dont so a bit oft help would be appreciated (also i dont have access to my PC currently which would render the advise to "just sideload it" very very useless.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Go to the general section ota help desk post download the zip for going from 4.4 to 4.4.2 and flag it with twrp and oy should be good to go have you flashed any mods or any stuff like that (kernels, zipthemer stuff)??

Yeah, the headphone boost and the camera mod is currently installed
If you are still on the stock kernel use flashify to flash the 4.4 system IMG let it reboot and then flash the zip from ota helpdesk and u should be on 4.4.2

thats why your OTA failed.
if you modify system files, you cannot install the OTA. this is OTA 101
Ben36's method worked like a charm, without even flashing anything back to stock! I'd recommend his method for everyone with mods on their phone. Thanks

I wouldn't recommend ANY method of flashing an OTA if you have ANY mods on your phone!
In fact, i'd flat out recommend against it.

Mhm i dont think his method included the ota files but the whole Firmware .ZIP which was already pre rooted. Then again im just glad it worked, i really just follow instructions and have no actual idea what im doing. So as long as it works its fine (dont judge me)
I am hoping someone can help me because I have run out of ideas. I had Candy5 5.1.1 rom on my Tab2 10.1 and it was working for a while with intermittent reboots. Then it suddenly would reboot after just a few seconds. Nothing I have tried has worked, including:
1) a hard reset-I have tried wiping and resetting from CWM and from the settings but when I reboot it nothing is wiped or reset.
2) installing a new rom- I have tried installing multiple other roms from both the SD card, the internal sd card, and odin. They flash successfully but when I reboot I am right back to Candy5 and the reboot loop after a few seconds.
3) using odin-I have tried using oding to flash stock firmware, custom firmware, and a new recovery. Odin will say FAIL for the stock firmware, but for the others it will say PASS but there is still the same CWM and Candy5.
4) Sideloading- same results as above
5) installing a new recovery from SD card-nope.
6)Using ADB and fastboot-Fastboot will not recognize my device even though I have the correct drivers installed--I have also tried all the USB ports available with no change. ADB won't recognize my device for a wipe, but it will for installing another custom rom or recovery which of course does not work.
7) A few times I have had time before it reboots to try uninstalling apps. It tells me they are uninstalled but when I reboot they are back.
8) Also when it stayed I tried going into superuser settings to reset them but even though it says they are reset nothing happens after reboot.
A couple things to note:
1) it is a p5113 but has a p5110 rom and identifies itself as p5110 in download mode. This however, has not been a problem before.
2) I am running Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.3
3)When I try to exit recovery I get the error message "Root access possibly lost. Fix?" and then the Yes response is "Yes-Fix root (/system/xbin/su). If I choose yes, though, it does nothing and simply reboots. Same if I choose no.
4) gapps are installed and I am certain I installed the correct version of these.
Thank you for any help you can give me. It's an old tablet but I have gotten a lot of great use from it until now!

Have you tried TWRP recovery from odin? use android-andi's or try from flashify app from your tab? I think you have done most of the things that needed to be done. the only thing left after this is try flash stock firmware with a pit file. but then if you have some other things as well to try.
it's not a regular bug, it's quiet strange, your candy rom tab looks like invincible here, or maybe the emmc has become read-only?(how on earth that happened??)

Hi billysam, thanks for the response. I did try TWRP both as a zip install from the external sdcard and a sideload, as well as odin. They all tell me it was successfully installed but when I boot directly into recovery (if I did the auto reboot option I would go straight into the candy rom), I am back at CWM. I also tried the stock firmware with pit which fails during the factoryfs part.
I am not able to install any apps. If there is enough time before reboot, the app says it installed but when I reboot it is not there.
It does seem like the hard drive is read-only, or at least something is preventing me from writing to the disc.

Was the tab encrypted?
Can you get logs?
Well it's going to be a case study since I too can't find anything that could come close to your tab issue.

When in recovery, flash twrp. Then reboot recovery. It should go to twrp then. I think your issue is recovery related.

Looks like a emmc issue my friend. I am afraid anything else going to work than replacing emmc.
The only reason I see here is that your tab emmc is somehow corrupted or there is bad sectors. That has virtually turned the tab into a read only and can't even read certain parts. No kind of flashing can do this to a tab. A virus attacked and is not letting you do it? Chances are no. Cause no virus can let you stop flashing from odin.
Correct Stock firmwares and pit file failed too at factoryfs part. sure you got the right files?
My suspect - the dreaded emmc issue of tab 10.1
Well do post if you find anything else.
Good luck

Yeah, I figures it might be that. It makes sense as to why I can't install anything and why fastboot won't recognize the device. My confusion was that my laptop does recognize it as at p5110 device and I can access the drive and it's folders on my laptop. I just can't delete anything. I don't know of any viruses and I had only a few select video streaming apps on it. I tried the p5110 and the p5113 from sam mobile so if you know of any other stock firmware links or toolkits I would love to try them. I hate to get rid of a tablet that isn't really bricked.

Same feeling goes here but wait, it does connect to your laptop and you can access files from it! You can transfer new files on it? And does it stay even after reboot?
Well I am looking for a new way out here, something that hasn't been tried on our devices to recover a tab from a difficult situation, a different approach. But will need help from our community. I will share that on a new thread once I am done researching myself. But sadly I have a P5100. But we will see what can be done.

Well, it's a bit stranger than that. My laptop recognizes it as a p5110 and I can go into the files. I can even (if it doesn't immediately start rebooting) delete folders. But, when I reboot, the folders are back as if they were never deleted.
I was also able to sideload a rom onto my sdcard (not external sd) and it tells me install is complete. But nothing changes.
This is what I am getting when I install, which makes me think there is a piece of the factory firmware that is still around interfering with the custom rom:
Installing update....
Warning: No file_contextsdetected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/omap/omap)hsmmc.1/by-name/FACTORYFS
Then after the logo of the rom:
(*) Running backup scripts...
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/omap/omap)hsmmc.1/by-name/FACTORYFS
(*) Done.
Patching system image unconditionally...
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/omap/omap)hsmmc.1/by-name/FACTORYFS
unmount of /system failed: no such volume
script succeeded: result was [ ]
Install from sd card complete
Thank you again for your help. If I figure anything else out I will post as well in case anyone else has this issue.

Well, it's a bit stranger than that. My laptop recognizes it as a p5110 and I can go into the files. I can even (if it doesn't immediately start rebooting) delete folders. But, when I reboot, the folders are back as if they were never deleted.
I was also able to sideload a rom onto my sdcard (not external sd) and it tells me install is complete. But nothing changes.
This is what I am getting when I install, which makes me think there is a piece of the factory firmware that is still around interfering with the custom rom:
Installing update....

it's the same message that I get while installing a custom rom. but mine does write it on the system and it did change my rom.
Okay, we should concentrate on the firmware file that should flash through odin without fail.
why is it not flashing it, while others are getting flashed?
You did download it from sam mobile, that's the best place to get it.
pit file, is almost identical for all the p51xx 16gb variant, I was going through the same right now. so no chance of getting wrong pit partitioned. (by any chance, you ever flashed a different pit file on your tab?)
try to flash on a different pc/laptop? download stock firmware again, this is your best bet. any other options are just beating around bushes.

That is a good idea. I have been using the same laptop for all of this. I will try a different PC and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again!!

I tried a different computer but still got the fail from odin. If I come up with anything that works I'll be sure to post it. Thanks for all your help!
Just a shot in the dark, but did not see "Factory reset" mentioned.
Nobody wants to hear that but sometimes it's the only solution.

Oh, yes, tried that numerous times. It won't reset. Thanks for the reply, though!

Thanks billysam! If I am reading this correctly, only replacing the motherboard would work.

Yes, according to that post. For me, I don't know because I haven't faced it myself, for you, you can try the options between changing emmc or changing motherboard or replacing a new tab or Jtag. Of course Whatever the technical guys you take your tab to for repair and which doesn't cost you much. Although people said changing emmc or jtag won't work. But you never know until tried. Also I won't suggest you try yourself. Good luck. It was good learning experience here.
