[Q] I need help install cyanogenmod 6

I'm new to rooting and installing custom roms. I used unrevoked 3 to root my ego, then I created an nandroid and wipe my phone. Next, I rebooted the phone to download the free version of ROM manager from the market. I used the ROM manager to download cyanogenmod 6 (stable). After downloading the rom, I did as the screen prompted me and wipe the phone and created a backup. From here the installation process begins and end with
Welcome to Cyanogenmod 6.0.0-supersonic assert failed: getprop ("ro.bootloader")="0.76.2000"//9.000"
E: Error in /sdcard/clockwork/download/mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip
I haven't a clue what to do at this point.
Can someone please help?

"E: Error in /sdcard/clockwork/download/mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip"
Read this link, I think it is about the same problem.
http://www.actuarialoutpost.com/actuarial_discussion_forum/showthread.php?t=195406&page=46
If I still can not post a link cause I am new, then I googled this:
mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip"
I got three hits, read the first one "maybe we need and android tweeking ...."

Also check this out. I am tempted to say you downloaded the link to the actual file that you want and not the file. Here is the link to the actual file.
http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip
Click that link and then you download the file you need.

[Q] Noob rooting and backing up (NAND) SG2 before ROM change

Hi all,
Would appreciate any assistance with this as I'm going back and forth on this topic on the net and hitting dead ends at every turn.
Firstly, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. It is ROOTED (using S2root). I have installed ROM Manager and Clockworkmod. 4.0.0.15.
I was using these instructions
*URL prevented by forum* but it was on androidpolice.com website -- to get to be able to do a full NAND backup before I screw about with anything. However, I cannot. Whenever I choose to do a full backup from rom manager my phone restarts and I get
Android System Recovery (3e)
4 options not including backup or restore (i.e. reboot, install update from sd,wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition )
and at the bottom of the screen
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
and won't go any further
I've read forum posts elsewhere on 'toggling verification on/off' but there is no option to do this in any menu, including ROM Manager's even under Advanced. I've seen other posts that show a toggle in the Clockworkmod menu but I never get there - it only restarts in Android System Recovery not Clockworkmod recovery menu.
Does anyone have any sensible suggestions that would help please?
thanks
Mark

[Completed] Cyanogenmod Updater - Status 7

I have a Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V) which is the Canadian Variant (Wind/Mobilicity). I used Cyanogenmod Installer and it identified my phone as jfltecan (Canadian Variants) which is good, it got my phone rooted and CM on it but it was KitKat and CM didn't support Lollipop on jfltecan.
Therefore, I manually flashed a jfltetmo (T-Mobile) nightly-may-1st which is similar to SGH-M919V by opening up the script update file and getting rid of the "assert" code that checks if you have the correct phone and correct file. I have SGH-M919V phone and jfltetmo file. was successful and got 5.1.1 Lollipop and my sim working. Few days later, now there's multiple nightlies and I try to use the built in updater to get the most recent nightly. I download it and tap to install it, it takes me to CWM recovery, and displays the following. (Problem #1)
Finding update package...
E: unknown volume for path [@/cache/recovery/block.map]
E: Can't mount @/cache/recovery/block.map
Installation aborted.
Rebooting...
That didn't work but I had that installation zip file downloaded therefore I went to recovery and manually installed it, is displayed the following. (Problem #2)
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
This package is for device: jfletmo, jflte; this device is jfltecan.
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
The status 7 can be fix by opening up the script update file and removing "assert" code but I don't want to do that for every nightly I will install. Can anyone help me to a solution to problem 1 and 2 or at least one of them. I would really absolutely appreciate it. Thank You.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I suppose you could edit your build.prop on your device to show the product and device that's listed in the assert line of the rom's updater.script. But be careful as flashing stuff not for your specific device can brick it.

[Q] How to solve "Error executing updater binary zip"?

Hi
I am not sure if anyone is still reading this forum, but I recently found my old Desire S and wanted to flash a ROM to it to revive it.
But I stumbled upon several problems.
The phone has currently twrp v2.8.7.1 installed, but simply installing a rom zip file with it always delivers the same error:
E:Error exectuting updater binary in zip '/sdcard/CM-11S-UNOFFICIAL-BR1-saga.zip
Error flashing zip 'sdcard/...'
I tried several roms I found in this forum, but most of the download links seem to be offline by now. I do not really care which rom is installed. The only goal was to find one which is working and the phone can be used with it.
It is not possible to mount->sd-ext in twrp even though an sd card is installed.
Mount->data is only possible when the sd-card is inserted. If it is removed mounting data is not possible.
Yesterday I had some trouble with wiping most of the available partitions in twrp, but today it seems to work properly, except wipe->advanced->internal storage which results in the error: "Invalid partition selection"
It is probably also worth mentioning that wipe->Format Data->yes was performed, and therefore barely any data is currently on the phone.
ADB and Fastboot commands can be executed from the pc and are being processed.
That's pretty much every information I think would be beneficial to find a solution to the flashing problem.
I also found the thread "[Q] How can I install Mokee rom?" in this forum, where the same problem ("exectuting updater binary in zip ...") seems to be solved by installing a newer version of twrp. But since I think, that the installed one on my phone is the newest, I only think that I could try downgrading the recovery. Not sure if this would help, and where to find an older recovery.
Thanks in advance for any possible solutions to approach the given problem.
Edit:
I installed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga to try a different recovery. Then I pushed the rom via adb. The installation failed with:
"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /sdcard/rom.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
Edit2: SOLVED
If someone else should have similar problems:
The error message from cwm seems to indicate that the used rom is not flashable with this version of cwm.
I was able to install the ics rom aokp_saga_milestone-6-120708-2354 with cwm version recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga (both can be found in the download section https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601

Try 4ext recovery v1.0.0.6 RC3 build8.

HTC U11 can't apply OTA (stuck on 2.42.400.2)

Hello everyone,
First of all thanks for being such a great community. I've been a silent reader for a while (since the HTC M7) and am amazed by the community
Now, I can't cope with being stuck on this issue anymore so I turn to you for ideas.
The situation:
I have a dual sim 128gb HTC U11 (I got it in Hong Kong but I assume it's the India version as per the build numbers I've been through and the CID is 060)
S-ON
Bootloader Unlocked
Stock 2.42.400.2 Firmware
TWRP Recovery
Magisk root
So a fairly simple setup.
The issue: We're in 2020 and I'm on Android 8.0.0. Checking for updates doesn't show anything at all although there are already updates
2.42.400.2 -> 2.42.400.6
2.42.400.6 -> 2.42.400.7
2.42.400.7 -> 3.35.400.1 (this is my goal, at least be on Android 9
So usually to update or apply an OTA which I would download from androidfilehost or another source here in a topic I would
1. Uninstall root from within the Magisk app
2. Flash stock recovery for my version back on
3. Put the OTA zip file on an microsd card and pop it in
4. update via stock recovery "apply update from sd"
Now that sadly didn't work. I tried adb sideloading the OTA zip file, but came to the same result below: (I had to hand type it off the screen so excuse any typos)
Code:
E:Failed to parse build number in post-build-incremental=1011554.6
E:Failed to parse build number in pre-build-incremental=1011554.2
O80CT.01.001.009

Target: htc/ocndugl_00400/htc_ocndugl:8.0.0/OPR6.170623.013/1011554.6:user/release-keys
Verifying current system…
E:eek:riginal error message E1000: is set, why set another again?
E1000: system partition has unexpected contents
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted
Any help is appreciated. I tried searching the forums for solutions but couldn't the same case.
Thanks and stay healthy everyone!
