Cant Update to 2.1

On this website: http://www.examiner.com/x-8134-SF-G...d-Android-21-update-can-be-manually-installed.
I followed to instructions to update the Droid 2.1 the firmware is 2.0.1 and the build number is esd 56 which i think is required for the update to work. but when ever it try to update the phone in the boot menu i get a message saying.
E: Cant open /cache recovery/command
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Why wont it apply the update?
And if this is a wrong thread please notify me.
Thanks

Fixed
Never mind I figured out that i was using windows 7 and when i rename a file that it takes away the .zip part by itself so i renamed it as update.zip.zip. So on windows 7 when you rename it just rename it as "update."
^^

you can also tell that its still a zip by the handy dandy icon to the left of the file name.

Simple guide to flash android on Nand

TO ALL PEOPLE:
PLEASE STOP POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ABOUT "THIS PART DOESN'T WORK ECC ECC" WRITE IN THE TOPIC OF THE RELEASE (KERNEL OR SYSTEM), PLEASE LOOK IN THIS THREAD FOR WORKING SETUPS AND TRICKS, AND SEARCH ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING!
This method erase all data on your system and you can brick you phone so do it carefully.
Main problem: screen
For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...
The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.
What you need:
phone (with hardspl installed)
sd card (1 Gb or more)
time
python
Update guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand

if you have black screen:
reset the device and edit the pannel (E)
with onother type (1,2,3) and retry.

For androidinstall.tar e nbh look in this thread for working setups. (Choose Eclair or Froyo, Donut as problems with new kernel)
You can flash back windows (using your preferred method), if you need, but it's a shame!

Reserved by me

good

Make this also sticky.
can you add how to change panel 1 to 3 or vice versa?
There are som nbh file that only come out as panel 3

You just Download NBH Editor and select the NBH with panel 3.
Then you will see that you can choose from whatever panel you would like, save and copy on SD

sorry for my english.

HTC Polaris 100 - doesn't flash
I followed you instructions exactly as you wrote them. BUt it doesn't work.
When I power on the device with camera button pressed I see the 3 color boot screen- but that is it. At this point the screen says "Loading" and nothing else happens.
What am I doing wrong?
I have been using the Haret version of Froyo and think it is great, but wanted to go the NAND route. I am hoping it will perform better.
Thanks for your help

Re-download the nbh and retry, maybe is corrupted..

A little help
Hi,
It's been a while since i posted but I'm trying to flash to the NAND but must be a little out of touch as I get blocked at an Error

I followed your guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725604

It's very strange, try another time..
(remember that install-seq disable automatically if install procedure works without problems)
there only these errors? are there any "Failed to format"?

Indeed the install-seq did get renamed ti install-seq-disable and the data.img & system.img was on the sd card....
Tried three times already...humpf..
Maybe I'll try a manual install.
I can post the dmesg if you think it helps??

If you use nand install you don't need anymore data.img and system.img ...
the install-seq install all on nand.
Post your dmesg (with a link) and i'll take a look...

Hi, at first I want to thank you for this tut and all your work It walked me through the proces of getting android on my pola100.
Just wanted to ask what I can delete from my sd card after succesful flashing. Can I delete complete folder andboot? Thx for your help

All the files, but it would be a better choice to keep all file on sd...

When I used your install script for the first time it tries to install system.img and data.img on the EXT2 partition.
After restart I entered the menu and selected the NAND option.
When I re-install the nbh and using your install script (for the second time) it is working.

I have the same problem as zeeos, I have "loading..." on my screen but nothing happens. I tryed many nbh...

Try to change sd card or flash from windows application...

Hey guys,
I've followed the guide exactly, performed task 29 first and ran from a clean, formatted SD card.
I'm using the latest Froyo build and have changed it to panel 1 as I have a POLA100.
The install procedure runs smoothly until it it gets to the point where I see the Warm Donut boot screen with animation, but then it stops and just shows a black screen with white cursor in the top left hand corner, doesn't go any further. Is this normal? Do I have to wait longer? I've left it for half an hour...?

Which files did you use?

problem on android phone "failed to mount system invalid argument"

I heve edited the system.img.ext4 on samsung galaxy mini 2
and after i have flashed the phone i receive this error :
failed to mount system invalid argument
Flashing the system back with original phone works
What is causing this error?

Well, it really depends on your edit.

I have mounted system.img.ext4 and removed some files from it then i have recreated the image and flashed to phone but i receive this error when the phone starts.

re install the firmware or install a new one....that should serve the purpose

the phone is working when i flash the original fw but i want my modded system.img.ext4
with the modified system i receive this:
Not need checksum confirmation already executed!!... (this is normal )
then:
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)

@grigoreee - I have the same problem like You with system...
Do You found any solution?
I think that replace boot.img from this thread:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719699
end's in the same way

How did u guys extract the system.img.ext4?
using dd?

I use this method:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1588461.html
(in mini2 system is mount with the same parameters as described above)

No solution for this error?
I still receive the same error......

[Q] Status 0, unable to flash rom

Hi guys,
I've been having a problem for a while now with flasing roms. I'm using 4EXT Recovery Touch 1.0.0.5 and when I try to flash a rom it gives this error, I also tried it with CWM, but also didn't work. It doens't seem to matter which rom I try to flash, they all fail.
The log is:

Please help... Acer e700 bootloop after official update!

Hello,
I was trying to update my phone(from settings>about phone) and I had no idea that I should not have done that because my phone is rooted; the downloaded update size was small around 12 megabytes as I remember and after restarting it got stuck into android system recovery <3e> (CWM), gave me that error "Installation aborted" and I can't boot into my system again. Unfortunately I haven't backed up my data and when I try to back them up using CWM it gives me this error "Write error, short write!" I tried recovering the backup file later from SD card on PC, it was damaged but I found out that it always crashes at 4 GB file size; I am using a 32 GB memory card and the size of data to be backed up is around 8 GB.
My questions are: Is there any other way to backup my files and applications data before attempting any repair methods?(My main concern) ;even if it was a physical way...
What should I do next?
This is what I have tried so far (without any luck),
- Wipe cache partition
- I tried installing Aroma file manager in CWM mode from SD card but it always gives me the error "Installation aborted".
- Connecting my phone to PC and choosing apply an update from ADB in CWM (The only way my PC can read my phone). I tried then pull, usb and reboot commands but it always gives me a message saying "error: closed". The only command that works is "adb sideload update.zip(Aroma also)" which gives me "Installation aborted" on the phone.
My mobile version is Acer_AV0K0_E39_1.024.00_EMEA_GEN2 (3 sims version)
=These lines are from the end of the log file for the first time the phone bootlooped trying to install the official update

I hope that there is someone here who can find a solution to my problem. Thank you for your time.

Hello again,
I am about to try something but I am afraid it might crash my phone even more, so I would love to hear an expert opinion first;
I downloaded the same stock rom as the one in my phone from here (vache-android .com /hubicAcer/E700/OS%20Images/EMEA_GEN2/update_Acer_AV0K0_E39_1.024.00_EMEA_GEN2-sds.zip) and then I am planning to flash using the method in this video to preserve my data (youtube .com/watch?v=b5H6EbaCKrw),and then if this method works and the system booted I am planning to back up my data and applications using titanium back and then do a clean install.
Do you think this might work? If not, What other methods can I try to backup my data?
