I have a G1, and I tried to get root. I downgraded to RC29, and then downloaded the recovery.img file and the Hard SPL, downloaded telnet and all that, then tried to flash the spl as update.zip to the phone using the recovery console (i think that's what it's called, i pressed home+power to get there). it keeps giving me an error message "E:No Signature (26 files) E:Verification failed". i tried to download another one, and it gave me the same message. i've been looking for a solution for six hours and nothing helped ;( anyone think they can help me?
Did you try editing the zip in any way? Did you extract it/etc? You need to take the downloaded zip, rename it update.zip, and put it on the sdcard. Do not change any files in it or extract it. Hell, don't even open it.

Doesn't sound like you're using the SPL update.zip. That updater only contains one file.
@gary13579 the only thing i did to the zip was rezip it, cos my mac automatically unarchives everything when i download it.
@jashu do you know anywhere i can get the SPL? i downloaded it from the post on this forum..

That would be the problem. You're going to have to find a way to download it without unarchiving it.
There's a "signature" added to all updates, which tells the phone whether it's a legitimate update or not. When you re-archive it, it loses that signature.
don't some searching but can't seem to fix problem
i removed some apks and added apks rezipped and resigned with no errors put on sd card install and get
E:can't find update script

Same Any fixes?
Well I hate to ask the obvious but inside your update.zip do you have the file "META-INF\com\google\android\update-script"?

Did you ever get an answer to this?
It's because you didn't delete the file contents of META-INF before resigning the zip... you need to leave the directory there but delete the signature files. Otherwise it will sign and verify correctly but throw the subject error.
which files
Can you tell me what i need to delete? I'm trying to flash cyanogenmod 6 and when I open the zip file I'm not sure what which files I have to delete.

Anyone know what just happened? ::crying:
I have just had a similar problem, stock rooted tried to update to 4.2 OTA when it was updating I got the android on his back with the red exclamation sign. I had no idea what was wrong until I read your post.
I am not sure how to look at the log file so I don't know if I have the same problem as up but the file you referenced I changed the extension so it was not recognised to allow Flash to work. I have now changed this back but update system in setting says that the system is up to date but I am still on 4.1.2.

Is this like flashing a new Rom?
Does it wipe all personal data and apps from the Nexus7 when the update completes?
When My galaxy SII upgraded from gingerbread to ICS it took me days to get it up and running how I had it before. I doing stuff like using E-mail (Oh wait all my settings are gone). Ill just have a look at my love film list and add some rentals (Oh wait the apps gone). You get the picture.
Had the same Problem yesterday.
I extracted the corrupted Files from the 4.1.2 Firmware and replaced them in the system.
Finally it worked and i am @ 4.2 now without loosing my Data.

If you could expand on what you did? I have changed the file extension back on the file in question. My problem is that since I failed the update, the system says no update available and I am stuck on 4.1.2
I had a similar problem with zoneinfo.dat.
However, I followed this topic and it worked with keeping root

Thanks, problem is I would lose all my user data opposed to a upgrade.
All files I saved before were not deleted, just had to reinstall my applications.
Or make an backup with Titanium

Ok i'll try.
Sorry for my bad english
I'll do a step by step howto.
First of all you'll need to download the 4.1.2 FW from Google.
Make sure, you choose the right one.
Take your Nexus 7, go into settings---> About Tablet and look for the Build-number.
Google OS
Then you will have to download this Tool (SGStoEXT4)
(This Tool will extract the Image into a mountable (readable) Image.)
Then you download THIS
(This Tool will mount your Image and you'll get access to the orig. Systemfiles you need.)
Ok lets begin:
Once you've dowloaded the Firmware 4.1.2 (Not 4.2 !!). It should be a .tgz. Just rightclick it, and extract it into a new Folder.
In this new folder you'll see a .zip File. Extract this too by choosing "Extract here".
Now there is a File called SYSTEM.IMG. This is File you'll gonna need!
Now open the downloaded Zipfile "SGStoext4.zip" and doubleclick the .jar to start it.
You'll see a window that pops up. Drag and drop the SYSTEM.img into this window and it will extract the .img into a File called "system.ext4.img" which is built right in the same folder, the system.img is.
Now install the second Tool you've dowloaded called "Linux-Reader" and start it.
Once you startet it, choose "Mount Image" on the left hand side.
Let everything like it is and click Next.
Choose the system.ext4.img by doubleclicking it.
Now you should see the mounted Image called "Linux Ext Volume 1"
If you doubleclick it, there are all the original files from 4.1.2.
Create a new Folder on your PC and call it Systemfiles (or whatever).
Go back to Linuxreader, mark all files and folders (Strg+A) and rightclick them and hit "Save".
Now click "Next" and choose the Systemfile-Folder as the Outputfolder.
You're already done.
Copy the new created Systemfile-Folder to your Nexus7 (in the dowloadfolder threre, for instance)
Start the Updateprocess and wait till it stops with the currupted File error.
For example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.odex", "21a89
E:Error in /cache/094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZ054K.094f6629.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write down the path (marked redcolor in the example) and search for it in the new Systemfile-folder.
The path in the new Systemfilefolder will be the same as it shows on the updatefailure.
Replace the corrupted File with the one of your fresh extracted ones using Rootexplorer on your Nexus 7.
Start the Updateprocess again.
If there is another corrupted File error, replace that File too.
Once you replaced all corrupted Files, you're done.
I replaced 4 Files before the update runned through properly.
I hope this helps and please let me know if it worked 4 u.
Alex
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou. I followed your instructions with success.
I am now on 4.2 and have learnt some new stuff too
Manged to keep root with root protector..
Thanks for the in depth reply.
The other problem I was having was that I could not update again because it said I was already up to date. The way I found to overcome this was to go into apps and 'clear data' then 'force stop' the Google Services Framework
This worked like a charm.
Thanks mate.

The solution by DroidBonzai is correct.
A shortcut for some people, particularly those that are rooted and sideloaded adobe flash and then the Android Browser, is that you may have renamed
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.odex
to
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.odex1
and similarly with
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk
to
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk1
as those would have caused a conflict with the sideloaded Browser.apk
Renaming those two file extensions will allow you update to 4.2 via recovery without installation error. It certainly worked for me!

I really have to appreciate the effort u have taken to help with this thing, and its a genius idea u have discovered to replace the faulty .apk
Anyhow, i did follow everything you said, like i replaced the GooglePinYinIME.apk which was having problem, but somehow the error persisted.
I am attaching an image along with this post. I have been trying to update my nexus 7 (4.1.2) to (4.2) for so long, getting problems in it.
I'd very much appreciate your help.

Hey Alex,
I tried everything you said above, downloaded the 4.1.2 from google, then extracted it, then fount the file which was giving me problems in System.img (GooglePinYinIME.apk)
Then i replaced that file on the tablet using root explorer.
Even after doing all this, the error persisted, WITH THE SAME FILE..
I tried it 3-4 times, but no luck.
I also installed the GooglePinYinIME.apk in nexus 7 to see if it works, but it went in vain.
What would u suggest now?
Regards,
Ashutosh
That worked perfectly! Thanks so much!!
I haven't had any trouble following the steps to install android on my HD2 including flashing the ROM from the SD card. However I downloaded the better battery stats zip from the forums here and it won't install. Is there a trick to this? I can see the zip OK but it just won't install.
