Hello,
I just unlocked my bootloader...installed CWM 6.0.4.5.....installed SU (verified root) and attempted to flash CM11
I pushed the rom.zip to /sdcard/
I also pushed gapps to the same directory
I tried to install CM from within CWM and I got "E:Can't open /data/media/cm-11-20140205-NIGHTLY-hammerhead.zip (bad) Installation aborted."
I tried to install gapps as well, just to see....and I get the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
I also tried dropping the files straight to the phone from within windows, and then running them from CWM..same error.
I also attempted to sideload CM11...and I get "E:Can't open /tmp/update.zip (bad) Installation aborted."
I have been running custom roms since the G1....(G2...Nexus 4....Galaxy series phones) this is the first time that i've hit a roadblock like this from all directions.
Any advice would be awesome, thank you

Flash Philz touch recovery or TWRP and try to flash the rom again bro. Or redownload the rom again, maybe a bad download.

Turn off the antivirus on your pc temporarily and re-download the rom and gapps and flash them again. Hope it works now.

Oh, yeah..I should probably correct that...I did not manually flash SuperSU.
Upon restarting my phone from CWM at some point it asked me if I wanted to protect root, and install SU.
When I loaded up android, I verified that SuperSU had been installed, and ran an app that requires root to verify.

Np, sorry I should have read the entire thread more carefully.
AHA! I have successfully sideloaded CM and Gapps on another computer.
However...attempting to install it via "install from zip" was still giving me the same error
losballatopg said:
hmm...now when I try to sideload i get....
"restarting adbd....
finding update package.....
opening update package....
installing update....."
then it never advances past that.
Should it confirm the update? should it say anything else?

It should compete, but it takes a long time. Did you give it at least 10 minutes?

Just download the latest recovery for your device and flash it the same way you did with TWRP. (Could try a newer version of TWRP if available cwm or philz as well if there available)

No you have to flash the other recovery though fastboot using your computer. Not though your current recovery.

Hello recently I changed a setting on my phone's build.prop file. I have a ZTE Warp Sync on Android 4.4.2. I believe I changed the dalvik.vm.heapzise=8m(or similar to that). I didn't mean to put 8 in but wanted 148. I have the default build.prop file but can only access the recovery mode. So I am wondering if anyone knows how to make a signed update.zip because everyone I make seems to fail. Also if I try doing any adb commands it says "error:closed." Thank you for any help or advice you can supply it is all appreciated.

Thanks for your response. I just tried out the file manager but every time it says it fails verification because it's not signed.

I put it into my SD card and selected the "Apply update from SD Card" option and it would fail and say it was not signed. I don't have a special recovery or anything only the stock Android.

Lol, are you flashing build.prop file? and with stock recovery?? You have to flash a custom recovery then you can flash your ROM or just replace the file using file manager

I believe I've found a rom but I would prefer to not. It needs TWRP installed which in recovery mode I'm unsure how to do. The reason I would like to not flash a rom is because I've got 400 pictures or so from my Italy trip and would like to save them. Other than that I don't need anything on the device.
I don't think flashing a stock rom will delete your photos because they shouldn't touch the sdcard partition of the phone. At least it's been like that on the numerous phones I've flashed to and from stock

Ok thank you so much. Ill be sure to try this as soon as I can. Very much appreciated.
Edit: I tried the install of TWRP with the .zip but it again says "Signature verification failed" I am trying right now to fix the error:closed on ADB so I might be able to fix it that way.
I have tried out the TWRP.zip installation but it doesnt work for verification error. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997180 to sign the zip but it still comes up with a verification error. I also installed the SDK but I still receive error:closed when trying to run adb commands.

I was flashing miui 12 OTA through orange fox recovery. Now my phone is dead. It can boot into recovery, fastboot flawlessly. It is detected in miflash also but whenever I am trying to flash miui 11 any version stock rom it gives error "cannot recieve hello packet". I have flashed many roms from orange fox and all of them flashed successfully but it is booting to recovery only. Plzz help
PS : I have read many threads but remove the battery /let the battery drain out method was not much explanatory so I couldn't understand it.. Plz anyone can suggest alternative method or same method in detail.

Try searching for this error...its a kind of general error so you would find an answer in some other device section
First of all download miui 11 recovery zip file for violet, after that boot into pitch black recovery, then wipe all partitions you see there and must format data then reboot to pitch black recovery again now place the zip file into your phone and flash and you will be good to go
