[Q] Cwm says can't open su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed root zip Bad

Hi All, Yes i am a noob and this is my first post. i have read all previous posts regarding this matter but havn't been able to find anything. I have managed to S-Off my phone (Hboot 1.17.1111) through revolutionary and put Cwm 4.1.0.4 on it but when i try to flasn su-2.3.6.3 Zip it says, finding, opening, then Can't open/sdcard/su-etc.zip (bad) Installation Aborted
I have tried downloading zip from different locations and latest ones but to no avail.
Any ideas Please.
My phone is Taiwan model dose this make any difference?
Cheers.

Try to flash it again.
I've had the same problem but after insisting a 2nd time, the flash was Ok.

Supertool V3 works wonders!
Hi, Thanks for your advice, i tried it 10 times and still nothing! I read lots of posts on other forums etc people having same prob but no one seems to know what the prob is. Anyways i found this Supertool V3 program you run on your computer plug in your phone and prees a enter and it does it all for you the whole kit and kaboodle and it worked first time.
Yay, i am now rooted.
Cheers,

I didn't know this tool so I couldn't advise you to use it....But if that's good now, excellent for you !!!

Why not use the latest version of Superuser as opposed to that ancient build...
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

First off, do this.
Second, the problem you're having is likely because the su.zip file you're trying to flash is bad. Just because you downloaded it doesn't mean you got a clean copy. Files get corrupted during the download process or in the transfer to your SD card.
CWM is basically saying "Look dude, this file isn't going to do what you think its' going to do so I'm not going to install it and eff up your phone. You're welcome!"
So again, get the newer version of SU linked above. And if you have this problem again with SU or anything in the future, the first thing to do is get a fresh copy of the file and start over.

I tried both methods above but my GT-P1000 reboots to cwm recovery. Tried wiping data etc.
Can anyone help please?

Manually update to march basehand..

SHOWN BASEHAND ON SMARTPHONE: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 JUL 15 2011 10:00
Sooo basically Ive been 2 days in a row now with no possible answer to get this done (I even installed a Windows XP partition to try and fix it, no results).
I always get the "Your phone is updated to the newest software" message, although I have the 2.2 froyo on the cellphone, and what I want is the 2.3.4 March basehand to update my smartphone.
I downloaded the drivers, I downloaded the .kdz file, I downloaded the LG support tool, I downloaded the software update tool from KDZ, everything in order, and the steps I follow are the next ones (please tell me if Im doing something wrong).
1.- I open the Software update tool.
2.- I browse the KDZ file.
3.- Then I click on Read phone information.
4.- Then I click on Upgrade Start.
5.- At this point, it automatically opens the LG support tool and it starts loading.
6.- After a while, it gets completed and I get the same message "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.", but I only have the same basehand.
I dont know if Im doing anything wrong, Ive tried with either usb debugging on and off.
Help please, Im dying here...

Follow it exactly. If you look on page 26-28 of the thread that CoreMemory posted about the update there's info there.

Or dont upgrade to baseband,you realized you wont be able to use any other rom.unless You dont use your phone to talk lol kinda defeat the purpose.

Here are the steps, proven to work on windows 7 64 bits

I had the same issue for several hours yesterday. What I found is to open the KDZ updater, select your KDZ file and then click the big button right below it "Launch Software Update"
I searched and searched and searched some more before I finally came across a topic on another site (someone's blog, I think) that gave me these instructions.
Note: You will more than likely see a bunch of errors relating to CDMA, just ignore them.

boring rom installation problem question. help much appreciated

hi, first time poster here.
i have searched exhaustively on this site and google for hours but, couldn't find an answer to my question. desperately in need of some help please
i recently purchased a Jiayu G3 and installed JellyBean. turns out Wi-fi and bluetooth now don't work due to incompatibility of my older version phone model. i found an alternative rom to install on the forum here with instructions but, i am having a problem...
apparently i need to install mobileuncle MKT tools so i can do recovery update and use clockwork mod (CWM) to install the new rom.
problem is i can't download mobileuncle tools. my wi-fi isn't working and i cant download it via my mobile network. i get error 927 when i try to download it via the play store. this could be due to a really poor connection speed, for some reason. after 10 minutes of trying to download the 1.02mb file it eventually fails.
would it be possible to download the mobileuncle tools via my laptop and then put it on my phone on my SD card? i havent been able to find anywhere to download it online and then i am not sure where or which folder i would put it in. if this works, does anyone know please?
or perhaps there is another way i can install a rom? to be honest i would be quite happy to just restore the stock ICS. i just want to start using my new phone...
thanks in advance :good:

hi, just to provide an update, i have managed to install mobileuncle tools but the flash recovery does not work
i have been following the instructions from here
watch?v=yuXdOjXQwGo[/url] (i can't post links yet according to forum rules but that is a youtube link)
instead when i reboot in recovery mode i just get the picture of the little android guy on his back with his front open and an exclamation mark displayed.
i know this is tedious, but please, any help would be great. i'm stuck

i tried following the instructions on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163707
i managed to do it all or so i thought. after unzipping the rom i restarted the phone but it gets stuck on a CyanogenMod logo. after half an hour of the loading ring going round i don't get any where. i have tried doing it in safe mode but same problem
please someone, help

taking to myself here
well I have managed to get past the screen. however, the rom i used does not work still does not allow the wifi and bluetooth to work.
does anyone know where i can download the original ICS stock rom for the Jiayu G3?

did you follow the instructions correctly? you must (always) have a copy of twrp image on your internal memory.

Yes I followed everything to the tee and I have a copy on internal memory and still no luck

I'm having the same issue, wondering what's wrong. I was trying to get LineageOS on my G5, and was following the instructions exactly as it said (it's not the first time I've unlocked a bootloader), and then I encountered this error when trying to flash TWRP. It's possible that you may have to root your phone before you can actually do this, although I haven't tried that yet. If anyone can link me to a way to get TWRP without having to do this, please do.

booting problem (probably softbrick) with the SM-G532F (Samsung J2 Prime (not the Samsung galaxy grand prime which came up when i searched SM-G532F))

hi everyone, this is how it happened. i tried to root my phone using king root in the phone but i couldnt find app on play store so i tried downloading it from chrome, i found the site and tried to download the APK but it didnt work ( i tried to do that on few other sites on few other apps), so i thought "ill just search it on google or youtube". on youtube everyone said that i needed Kingroot or something like which required me to download stuff from chrome (which i couldnt do) so i decided to root my phone using my pc, so i found this Vid
heres the problem though, i think my usb drivers suck (maybe cuz' im still using Win 7, which is also not genuine?) so ignoring that fact, i tried to install file corresponding to SM-G532F model with odin. i somehow managed to fail over and over, until i eventually tried look up the USB drivers sooo i found this https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html and installed it, after i did that something changed instead of instantly failing to stuff Odin actually started to do something and then stop (there was a certain log that made it stuck) then i tried to restart the phone but not in the normal way. i removed its battery and put it back, Odin got stuck exactly like before, that kinda scared me, not gonna lie, so i tried to turn the phone back on, but i couldnt (i cant recall exactly how it didnt start but yeah overall... it didnt), that made me search stuff in google yet again i found this
and i forgot to check Softbrick fixer 1:43, it didn't do thing there was just an error then i tried to get the batteries out and in again i also tried installing this too https://softfamous.com/postdownload-file/media-transfer-protocol-porting-kit/24862/10050/ when i finally did that, hijacking actually worked... or it said that it did, when i tried to start my phone with volume up+lock screen+home button it seemed like it started but it just didnt stop and even after 15-20 mins of loading it didnt finish doing it.i tried turning it on several times every attempt ended with failure. after that i tried once again to find answers on youtube so i found this guy
he said that file which i need to install can be found here but i cant find it here when i searched SM-G532F stock rom odin xda i found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/installing-stock-rom-on-sm-g532f.3672884/#post-75474147 thread which was about Samsung galaxy grand prime (that model somehow shares the name with my model?!), as the video first way is the easiest and it has the odd to be the most successful of all, soo i came up with this website and thought to myself am i doing everything right? should i keep doing what im doing, what if im messing my phone even more than it is right now, and i wrote this just to make sure what to do. thanks in advance!
