Hey folks. I am trying to get the hang of messing around with my android device. I am quite good with Windows/Linux, so this is the next frontier. So here is my problem: I am trying to update my TF101 to 5.1 and the installation failed. I installed Clockwork Recovery v3.2.0.1 and it worked well, I can get into recovery no prob. I installed the kitkass 5.1 on the SD card, the Update-Super-v2.46, and Katkiss_5.1_030c.
When I trying to install from zip the Katkiss I get this error:
set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed.
E:error in sdcard/Kitkass/Katkiss-5.1_030c.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

I am a bit stumped. Did I download a bad copy? I can't get into the TF101 at this point except for recovery. When I try, it just stays on the ASUS splash page.
I am sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any threads with this issue. Any help is appreciated.

I have this devices some were in a drawer lol anyways sounds like u mave have downloaded a bad copy try redownloading and get a md5 checker and check it. Also did you make a back up in twrp? If so could restore that in time being. Have a read trew kitkass thread agin and see if you missed any thing i know i had that rom running at one point but went back to kitkat cuz it was more stable.
Thanks for the help. I think I had a bad copy and a redownload fixed the issue. Android 5.1 is on the device and it sort of works. Well, not really. It runs poorly, reboots a lot and now it actually reboots before I can log in. I think I should hit a lower version of Android. Any suggestions on which version works best on the TF101? As of now its not usable.
Also, if I go to say, 4.4, can I use the same gapps-Katkiss-5.1 or do I need a correct version for 4.4? Can I just install it over 5.1 or do I need to wipe the device and start from scratch?
Again, thanks for the help.:good:
I tried to install 4.0.3, the official TF101 image from Asus but it wouldn't install. How do I go back to stock?

I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer. I have tried several times to update my TF to 3.2.1 but the update keeps failing.
I get a system update notification. The tablet shuts down. The little green android with the gears on his stomach appears with a progress bar under it. The progress bar gets about 1/3 of the way then an exclamation mark appears in a yellow triangle. The a few minutes later the tablet restarts and it says that the update failed.
I am currently on build number HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816. My TF is unrooted.
Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone have any suggestions besides doing a factory reset then trying the update again? Thanks in advance for any help.
Was it rooted before?
Rooting itself doesn't break updates it's what you do whilst rooted that can, so unrooting isn't necessary. I'm having this issue again as I removed some Asus apps with Titanium Backup which I now can't get back (I did them when there was a bug in TB which didn't backup apps properly). The OTA update script checks the integrity of a bunch of apps and files, which if it fails will abort the update in the way you are seeing. Very annoying.

Yeah it was rooted. I just realized that immediately after I rooted it, I had made a CWM backup. I'm going to try to restore the backup and see if the update goes through. (fingers crossed)
Sounds like you're running a custom ROM

Nope, stock 3.2. The only thing that I flashed was a custom kernel.
The update still didn't work with my backup. Luckily the WW 3.2.1 update was posted in the development section, so I just re-rooted and flashed the update. Worked like a charm.
yeah, I think that your kernel will cause the update to fail since it updates some of the kernel modules.

Where did you find the ww 3.2.1? Because have the same problem and haven't found the rom. Wrong serach terms, for sure.
Got the problem, too!
Now I use Revolver!
I flashed revolver, too. Works like a charm.

I got it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281161
It's only a 3.2 to 3.2.1 update though, it's not a full ROM, so you have to already have 3.2 on your TF. Hope this helps!
i have the same problem too.
my TF101 was totally non rooted .
is there a download for this 3.2.1 update? so i can prehaps update my TF mannually ....
I didn't find one, because of that i flashed revolver.

I too have a problem with the update on my rotted tf.I got an unofficial update apk here but I still get an error message when trying to flash in CWM.I heard that this could be due to a modified system file,but I don`t remember having done such a thing thought...
Good luck.
Q!
Apologies if this has already been resolved, I did a search but did not find my exact problem.
I screwed up, I installed the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092332 but I failed to install the GAPPS zip the first time.
So I tried to install it again with gapps but I keep getting a "Verification failed Installation aborted" message.
So then I downloaded the stock HTC ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804692 but I get the same error message.
Can somebody tell me how to either get this ROM to work with gapps or go back to stock? I need to learn to read the entire post before assuming every ROM installs the same.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for your time.
Download the correct gapps package and make sure the download is corrupted.
EDIT: isn't, lol fail
Thanks. I was not able to find a gapps package that worked. I dl'ed a signed version successfully but I couldn't get past the setup screen. It just was not working.
So I went with CM7 instead and I actually like it a lot better. I've got my Google apps and everything's running smooth. Yay for ROMs.
CM7 is very sexy... runs on my Wildfire S but the WIFI is broken on my specific model right now *sadface*
I think your problems lead you in a better direction at least!
Just a quick heads up to everyone, I was able to fix my issue by SWITCHING TO A NEW SDCARD, I had been using a 64GB SDCARD and I switched to a 2GB SDCARD and I guess that my recovery or my phone couldn't handle such a large card.
It took me about two days to come to this conclusion but after lots of ODIN and reflashing just about everything possible I've decided this was the issue. Also I ran up my flash count a hell of a lot. I hope this helps someone out who may have issues like mine!
Hey all,
Today I decided I would try out a new ROM on my SGS3 so I decided to install the MIUIv5 ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232800
Normally ROM installations go quite smooth for me so I opened up TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I did as I usually do by making a backup and wiping my system and then going to install my ROM. Instead today I got tons of errors saying:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /external_sd/MIUI5_d2vzw_3.4.12.420-signed (1).zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
So, I downloaded the ROM again, but this time from the mirror just in case I had a bad .zip or it didn't transfer to my SDCARD correctly, but then I started getting more and more errors.
Instead of getting a bad zip error I got the following:
Code:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/'
I guess this means it can't find my root partition?
Now all of a sudden I can't find my backups and I am just stuck without a ROM and I only have a recovery... quite inconvenient, also I can't flash any ROMS as I tried flashing some others but they didn't work at all no matter what I did and I am just running in circles... any help is GREAT APPRECIATED as I would love to have a functional phone by tomorrow.
I am fairly fluent with android and linux systems as well as computers in general so I should be able to provide any helpers with almost all information needed relative to my device, but sadly this whole issue has really stumped me.
Thanks so much!

Have you tried flashing with Odin?
I know a lot of people swear by twrp but for me I always seemed to have issues. I had a similar issue you are having when I finally flashed cwm again. I was able to fix my issue by odin.

Thanks for both of your replies, I decided just to revert back to stock and I am in the process of re-obtaining root and such and then I am going to try to flash again just using recovery... by flashing by odin do you mean flashing a ROM or flashing back to stock?
FIXED! Read OP
Hello,
I have rooted my Xoom 2 ME and installed Safestrap 3.12 as explained here.
Apparently something went wrong after I tried to restore a backup to the Stock ROM Slot. I now have the Blue (instead of Red) Motorola Logo when I boot, followed by error messages telling me the "UI System" and "Configure" Applications have stopped.
Trying to solve the problem, I did a factory reset from the Stock Recovery Boot and now I see that I have lost all my Safestrap Backups and Slots.
So I have no backups to restore and no other Slots than the Stock ROM, which I cannot boot.
What are my options ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A quick update on this
I'm having help form runandhide05 who is amazingly kind with me, answering all my questions in PM.
I have a Wi-Fi only 8.2 Xoom 2 bought in France so I have flashed this ROM : 0.268.4.MZ607.Retail.en.FR.
I could boot but when I tried to update OTA it failed. It downloads, start updating and fails so I am stuck in 3.2.2.
Also whenever I reach the page of an application in the Android Market, the Android Market quits.
Finally adb doesn't see my device.
I've tried flashing another ROM with the same result : 0.281.8.MZ607.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
All this is very new to me, I feel like I have learned a lot in 24 ours but I really have no idea were to go to solve this and feel like I am asking a lot to runandhide05 at the moment so if anyone as "qualified" as him had any idea to help it would be amazing.
… again runandhide05, thank you so much for all your help so far.
Problem solved !
The update succeeded when done via the "Motorola Device Manager" on PC.
After that I could use Google Play without it to quit and adb saw my device again.
I re-rooted and re-installed Safestrap with no troubles.
I'm on 4.4 right now and I just reviewed the ota but when it finished downloading, it went stock recovery and just said "error". Obviously I was pissed so I then went the adb root but that wouldn't work either. Something about it not being able to find "update.zip" when it is clearly in the same folder. After that I decided to flash a custom recovery, not clockwork but the other one. Whenever I try to go that route it still says it failed. I have been looking at posts and none have helped so far.
I am rooted, I don't have busybox/xposed, I am using art. I read something about having to have all of the stock apps. I had a modded playstore on here but I didn't work so I re-download one and installed it, could that have anything to do with my problems? And if so, where can I find another playstore app?
also, this is what it says in the custom recovery: /system/framework/core-libert. Jar unexpected E:Error executing updater in zip I tried googling but to no avail.
That modded play store might have changed some system files that prevent the update. You can try flashing one of the stock 4.4.2 Roms available in the android development forums. I used the one by bigxie.
