My Dev Phone is dead

I am a complete newbie. I tried to update to the ADP1.1, but it error'd out on the boot image. The phone now shows a triangle with and exclamation point and a graphic of a phone. I got advice on another community to try and install update.zip from the sd card. I downloaded the original ADP1 update.zip, and I tried to install. Here is what I got:
Installing from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
installing update
copying files
copying files
formatting BOOT
writing BOOT
E:No space left on device
E:Error writing BOOT
E:Failure at line 8
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img
BOOT
Installation aborted
Thoughts on where to go from here?

No thoughts? Is it now a paperweight?

Please post information regarding your device (brand, model, carrier, OS, etc, etc) That way, we might be able to help you.

I have the Android Dev Phone
Carrier: AT&T
It had the original version ADP1
Tried to update to ADP1.1, but it error'd on the Boot.img portion
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks.

You probably needed to wipe it before flashing it. For the fix, listen to the experts. [here]

I am more than happy to listen to the experts. Any of them have an idea of what to do next?

Any thoughts?

Yeah, I do actually. I noticed a thread with the same topic somewhere else and its active. Check this thread out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475244. Leme know if it does not help. Mail me direct if you wish.

I am not sure this helps. The problem I am having is that once I start the update it stall out when trying to write the boot portion saying the phone is out of space. I have wiped the data/cache, but to no avail. Has anyone seen this before?

Mark. I am not ignoring you, I just don't have net access where I live, so unless I get out and come to my favorite parking lot, I can not email. No I have never heard of it either. Some one here should be able to help. I am NOT an expert, but if you want to hear my only idea here it is. Go way back and start by flashing the old rc29 bios on the phone. Then follow the directions to give yourself root access (i know you do not need to do this with a Developer phone), then flash the Jesus Freke's Android developer bios 1.0 then the 1.1. Try and contact Jesus Freke directly. I wish I could help more, but I am really new at this, and with out having your phone to play with, I doubt I could come up with a fix for you.

Is there anyone that can help with this?
Here is the error message I am getting when I try and install the update.zip from the sd card
E:No space left on device
E:Error writing BOOT
E:Failure at line 8

I have wiped the data, but to no avail. I would really like to get this resolved so I can go back to using my phone. If not, I am more than happy to sell this at a good discount.

[Q] did i killed my galaxy s4? :(

So i Tried to turn my galaxy s4 to a Google edition phone because i heard it removes the the small lags the device has, but in the process of changing the OS i think i deleted the Factory installed files on the device and did not install the google OS.
so now my phone only shows the Samsung logo when i turn it on, nothing else.
can anyone please help me? or is this a lost cause?
here is what i did
-first i rooted my phone using odin,which i have don a bunch of times, that wasn't the problem, after rooting i installed TWRP on my device and copied the 4.3 google play ROM into my device.
-secondly i rebooted the device, (as the guide said) opened TWRP and did as the guide told me (Wipe –> Advanced Wipe and select “Dalvik Cache”, “System”, and “Cache”. Then move the slider to complete the wipe.) (refer to picture for more detail)
***** this is where i think i ****ed up******
-Now the guide asks me to install the new ROM and do a factory reset + a reboot.
However my phone froze for some reason and i couldn't install the ROM then it rebooted automatically.
now i cant get passed the company's logo and if i do go into TWRP and try doing any of the previous stuff it keeps writing these lines:
checking for MD5 file...
skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/efs'
E:Unable to mount '/preload'
and when ever i try to reset or reboot, it says the device has no OS .
is it over for my phone? i really would appreciate it if someone could tell me Anything on how to fix this problem.
p.s.
i have been searching the web for the past 2 days, spending hours trying to find an answer or a case similar to mine, so far i haven't found anything.

basically your phone needs to be flashed back with its original ROM, so you need to first identify your exact version of S4 that you have to locate its original ROM, you should look here and post there in the Q&A section, when you need help about Galaxy S4, based on your version, you must clearly inform your version for other members to help you.
Don't worry you should be able to recover your phone by flashing the correct ROM, just READ carefully and follow instructions found in the galaxy S4 forum. in XDA

XNPH38R Update error – No computer available

Hey there,
okay so these Oneplus One OTA problems are getting really annoying..
I can't update to 38R:
When trying via OTA:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/cache/.....zip'
E: Error installing zip file 'cache/.....zip'​​(NOT this common error with an .apk or .xml file in the end - because I didn't edit them).
Trying the modified 38R .zip:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/.....zip'​Zip file verification is unchecked.
Things I did to my phone:
Xposed (uninstalled before)
Franco Kernel (uninstalled before)
Freezed some system apps (defrosted before)
Okay now comes the tricky point: I'm backpacking through asia, I barely have computers around and if I do, mostly guest accounts who won't allow to install anything (here: SDK). So the way over fastboot, which (eventually after 10 hours of trial and error) worked for me last time won't be possible here.
Invested WAY too much time again in doing research and downloading tons of Gigabytes with crappy internet speed. Too proud to open a thread. Damn

Exactly what build are you currently running? If it's anything but 33R it will fail to install. Also, uninstalling Franco still leaves remnants behind that will cause an OTA to fail. Anyway, long story short, your best option is to download the recovery flashable of 38R to your phone, full wipe, and flash it in TWRP. Job done.

[Completed] [Q] I need help with my nubia z5s

Basically, my friend bought a nubia z5s, and asked me to root it and flash a custom rom onto it that has the google apps on it.
I managed to root it and for some reason i factory reset the phone and now the phone just stays on the nubia screen, i can get to CWM but due to the phone having only an internal storage it cant mount the sd card. ADB is very confusing and im not sure if usb debugging is actually enabled
Could anyone help, this is my first time and im actually pretty scared :/
Thanks

Well there's not a lot for this device out here.
I was able to find a rom thread for that device here
as for adb, it's actually not very difficult. Check out this thread for introduction to it.
Good luck

Another problem D:
i managed to figure out ADB, but when the sideloader finishes, on the phone it says:"
e: Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted"
Any ideas as to what could cause this?
Just tried again and it says
E: Can't open /tmp/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted

Status 7 means an error in the updater-script due to device assert lines. Which means that the script is not recognizing your device as being compatible with the zip file and it aborts the process to avoid damaging your device. I do not recommend tinkering with the script to trick it into working.
You will need to ask for further assistance in the the link I sent you. Someone there should be able to help you. Xda assist is for showing you the way. We do not offer full support for problems.
Alternatively you can try to install the rom i linked you for your device. Just be sure to read the entire first post and follow the instructions.
Good luck

[Completed] SOLVED Galaxy Tab 10.1 help

Edit: SOLVED
Hoping someone can roughly point me in the right direction. I'm not very savvy in flashing new ROM's, but I had success with my phone recently, so I decided to try and update my tablet and it's not going so well. It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, model GT-P7510MA, which I believe is wifi only. I started off by following the youtube tutorial: 0eAQzxwEVjY
I did *not* make a backup, so shame on me right off the bat, but at least now I've learned this lesson.
There is no OS, but TWRP v2.2.0 is installed and I'm able to boot into it just fine. I'm able to transfer/push files via command line on my windows machine, but I did find something that seemed odd, which is that the top level directory is not named "/sdcard", instead it's just "/". When I transfer files, I have to name the the path "/" for them to show up in the top level directory. If I use "/sdcard", it looks like they upload, but I have no idea where they go. Not sure if there's any significance there, but figured I'd mention it.
The problem is that I can't seem to install any OS. I've tried Nameless 4.4.4, Clockworkmod 10.1, and AOSP 6.0. They all fail the same way, I'll type out what it says below:
--Install /aosp-6.0-p4-20151211.zip ...
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [/aosp-6.0-p4-20151211.zip]
E:Can't mount '/aosp-6.0-p4-20151211.zip'
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes
Error flashing zip '/aosp-6.0-p4-20151211.zip'
Another strange thing is that when I tried the aosp-6.0-p4wifi, it said that this device was a p4, which I don't think is correct, but that's why I tried the p4 version. It errors just the same. I've also tried to update TWRP, but I'm not sure you can update TWRP from within TWRP? I've tried using the file "twrp-2.8.7.-picassowifi.zip" and it errors the same as the OS'.
Edit: It's been sitting here powered on for a bit and then went to the blue teamwin screen and would flash off every five seconds or so. I figured this was maybe a screensaver? Next it powered off and on restart, all the files I've uploaded are no longer visible.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
Final edit: Kind of embarrassing...all I needed to do to find the /sdcard directory was just scroll down a little through the folders on the left (I thought it was supopsed to be the top directory). I'm pretty sure the 7510 is a wifi only version, but for some reason, none of the wifi ROM's I've tried will work. It gives an error and says my device is a p4 and not a p4wifi. Anyway, neither of the wifi/p4 Marshmallow ROM's will work, but all I had to do was wipe cache/delvic/system (I did do this several times) and factory reset (had not done this before) and install Cyanogenmod for p4 with the recommended Google Apps and all is working well.
