I have tried almost every ROM in this forum, but i get this error, except when i use CyanogenMod.
I have updated the latest spl and radio.
Any help?

is your phone rooted?

help!
I am getting the same error when attempting to update to the SuperHero V2 Rom.

Of course it is

maybe it's a sign

My suggestion would be to download the ROM again and reflash it.

Most likely you are trying to flash a ROM that requires Haykuro's SPL (which changes the MTD partition sizes), and it's running out of space during the installation.

Thanks. I'll try his then.

I tried to install JACHero's rom, and it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522076 that he recommends Cyanogen's 1.2 recovery, which i have currently, and it still didn't work, same error, except instead of line 19, it was line 12.
What am i doing wrong if i used the correct SPL from the post and the recovery...?

Give this a shot, we'll just double check everything, and try again, so as to rule out these possibilities. Don't skip any of these steps!
1st - Shut off your phone. Boot it back on, but into the SPL (camera+power buttons). Read the second line from the top, and the fourth line from the top. They will be your SPL and radio image, respectively. The second line should read "HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)" and the fourth "RADIO-2.22.19.26I". Just to double check you have the ones needed if you are trying to install any hero rom and a few others too.
2nd - Delete the update.zip off of your sdcard (and computer, if it's there too) and re-download it. Put it back on your sdcard and rename to "update.zip". Make sure you have your file extensions un-hidden, so that its not actually "update.zip.zip".
3rd - Make sure you are wiping (alt+w) from inside your recovery loader, before you are applying the new update.zip (alt+s).

Unsolved Mystery, Case Closed.
Thanks for the help everyone. I have all the updated stuff, i guess my G1 just doesn't like the other roms.
I have no complaints with Cyanogens Rom, in fact, i like it very much. I think i will just keep it how it is.
Again, thanks everyone for your help.

Programs missing from market with RUU 2.1

I noticed earlier that m:zombie and m:vampire are not in the market. Any other programs that any of you have noticed are missing?

it's because the ruu is signed with test keys, not the release keys, so not everything is showing up.

Most of my purchased apps are gone, and they include Basketball, Toss It, Flight Control, and a few others..quite disappointed as I did the RUU install via the .exe file and so far, haven't found a way to undo it and go back to DamageControl 2.1...

lol very,very true!

RUU has test-key. thats means no protected apps. You should have flashed one of the many roms based on this RUU(damage,fresh or darchlegend even though its based on the Legend RUU). There already set to go.

Anyway I can do that now?

Lol, not to sound like a jerk but we knew this. I started the thread because I was wondering if anyone else knew which programs were affected. The whole idea behind loading the RUU was to test it out. It would be great if everyone didn't come in here and tell us how we should have loaded a custom ROM. Most of us probably came from a custom ROM to this, like myself.

Sorry, that was just your first post to the forum, and it had no implications that you knew how to do anything whatsoever. I was just going on what I read from your post. I was guessing you just joined and saw the RUU and flashed it. I am sorry.

Wow, is this easily done? I'm missing root manager, but otherwise am liking the leak (minus sprint crap).
Also.notice quick boot isn't working, but I'm sure its fixable, I just haven't looked or may not have the experience to get it going.

Yeah it is pretty easy, just need to get your build.prop, then in wordpad, if using windows use wordpad not notepad, just have to make a few changes. After that you clear the market cache. When I did this last night, none of the protected apps showed up, however this morning they all did. So for reason it may take a bit to work right but it did work. Just checked and root manager is showing in my market too.
I'll just post one I found online. If you adb push this to /system/ it should work.

@Kcarpenter, maybe dont post inflammatory stuff like this and instead be helpful and we wont have drama?
@Jlem
Good to see you got it going. You should share your build.prop (or link to instructions) so others that may have made the early (and quite risky) install of the RUU could get it going. That would be a nice thing to do
Personally I think you're crazy for trying that RUU!!! hahaha ! I'm glad someone did, and I hope it all works out for you.
edit:And you did! good work

[ROM] Deodexed rom with root

Thanks to anomalous3 over on the vibrant forum he was nice enough to port over his rom to our side based off of the new source code released by samsung
"If you feel like being a guinea pig, or know anyone who does, the deodexed build is here:
http://getyourboneon.com/CaptivateDeodexed.zip
Since I don't have a captivate I can't really test it, but it should work fine. It's based off that UCJH2 build. I didn't include any lag fixes since they've proliferated out of control, but I did include ext manipulation libraries and e2fsck to make life easier for people who want to use one of the lag fixes."
Please note I have NOT tested this rom yet, I don't have my captivate. Please somebody could test this and let us know if there's any problem so we can let him help us fix it.
Again, not responsible for whatever happens to your phone.
Here is the original thread I posted for reference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746466
EDIT: I'm going to assume you would install this like any other rom via update
EDIT2: anomalous3 has updated the link with corrections. Let us know how it works

Well... since I can't seem to get enough of abusing my phone, guess I'll give this a whirl =P
And I have JH2, So I suppose that makes me a good candidate

Do I just rename this to update.zip and go recovery and reinstall packages?

Wait a sec, what does deodexed mean? I looked it up and it means no oxded files, but i don't know what those files are...

damn it, wish this was around 2 hours ago when i was bored! its too late now to ruin my phone haha.. tomo sometime maybe i'll try..

Question...Do I have to install the stock Captivate ROM first as it states in the linked post? I have the stock ROM that is rooted with the AT&T bloatware removed. The only other mod is the lagfix version 2.3...Can I just flash this over that?

you should be able to, according to his original thread on the vibrant forums, the directions were to put on internal sd card and load via clockwork best method. or via recovery mode works too

That's what's taking me so long... seems like JH2 is having some issues with update.zips... namely it's getting to the "Opening installer" then "Install Aborted". The(not new) update.zip for root still works, so I'm tossing on clockwork to see if I can get this thing crammed on here with that.

Installing from Clockwork:
Hoses up during the copying files stage
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/bugreport
E:Failure at line 5:
symlink dumpstate SYSTEM:bin/bugreport
Then install aborts

That's because the capitvate uses a different independent bugreport that is not a symlink of dumpstate.
Simply edit the update script in the meta folder and remove that line.
I deodexed the actual captivate files the other day, just havnt tested/posted them, way too busy with school

-From googling, found on XDA:
Deodexed ROMs have their .apk's (which are basically the application packages) repackaged in a certain way. An "odex" can be thought of as a collection of parts of applications that have been pulled out and optimized before booting. This speeds up the boot process - in a way, it preloads part of the applications - but it also makes hacking those apps difficult because part of the original code is already extracted somewhere else.
Deodexing is just a process of putting those pieces back into the original applications. It takes a while to extract those parts and build the .dex cache (aka Dalvik cache), but only because the relevant parts aren't in an easy-to-access place for the system. The advantage of this is that an app can be modified effectively and the developer doesn't have to worry about conflicts from the separate odex part of the code.
So, short version: "Deodexed" ROMs have all their apps put back together. If an app can be themed, for example, a deodexed version of that app will not get messed up when the modified .apk tries to mesh with the odex of the original un-modified .apk. Because it's not there.
If you want an aftermarket theme, you need a deodexed ROM. I'm not sure if deodexing can be done to individual apps within a non-deodexed ROM.

Good catch on that one Yeah, it surprised me that a lot of the stuff in the captivate doesn't rely on toolbox either. I might even port that over to the Vibrant since I think that toolbox is a stupid vestigial substitute for busybox anyways. Link updated, let me know if it works.

Ok I rooted my Nook color about 1 year ago and used it just for a few months. Well I recently turned it back on and went to update my current rom by using ROM Manager app. If I go to my google play website it say I have Phiremod for Nook.
Ok so when I press the power button, it loads a CyanogenMod and either loading... or loading boot mode... and then will turn to a black light screen
What do I need to do to fix this, I am tired of googling it lol Thanks

Do you have the zip on the CWM sd? And don't use 'install update'. Use install from SD or something like that where the next dialog is picking the zip to install.
Edit: And if you are already doing all of that you might want to toggle verification or asserts. And you are sure the zip is a good one? Did you try looking at it on your PC?

Do I need to name the folder as something?
Also after I extract the file into a new folder, do I just drag and drop the file on to the sd card?
Any other info is appreciated! Thanks

I'm pretty sure that if you have the 1.4.1 stock zip, you just install that using CWM and it will give you a stock Nook; you shouldn't have to unzip anything. If that's not working try the instructions here to get back to stock

You don't extract a rom zip. Place it on sdcard and then select it from recovery

That link starts with a CM7 load, restores it to Nook version 1.3 and upgrades *that* to 1.4. Seems to me you could start at the part where he is upgrading the 1.3 to 1.4 and go from there.

Flash custom packages in TWRP

Hi,
I'm trying to flash a custom zip file from TWRP without success. I want to delete some apps but, after a reboot, I find these apps up and running.
Could be the problem related to A/B seamless system? If yes, where can I find a flashable file working which is good for my purposes with a minimum modification?
Thank you.
