[Q] Flash any ROM = "android.process.acore has stopped" missing recovery/update.zip?
Former evo (power) user, running (almost) all the nightlies and then RC of CM6. (usb power port broke. Chose Epic rather than waiting a month for the (out of stock) evo. So far, I like the hardware much better on Epic).
I Rooted/Clockworked via the linux thread in the forums. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792058)
SuperUser info: Superuser v2.3.6.1 - Added clear log to menu in log
Database version 5
Su binary v original (sometimes shows Su binary v%s)
ROM manager info:
Current Recovery: CWM 2.5.1.0
No Alternate Recovery available
Reboot into Recovery takes me to (blue) Samsung recovery page (exclamation point in triangle)
E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
(click home button -- reboots phone).
Using QuickBoot, Recovery sends me to the Samsung blue screen (not clockwork) and BootLoader just reboots back to phone).
However, Power off. Camera + Vol Down + Power takes me to clockwork.
Successfully made (and restored) backup.
Yesterday I flashed Tha Boss. About a minute in, I get the following error: "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close".
Successfully restored to my backup (of stock)
This morning I flashed Bubby's Magic AOSP. Same deal. About a minute in, I get the following error: "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close".
Again, successfully restored to my backup (of stock).
I've "replaced" blur on my stock with widget locker, ADW and beautiful widgets, but am having terrible battery issues. I do not care for any of the samsung/sprint stuff.
Obviously I am missing something here. Am I missing some recovery file? update.zip?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I was encountering issues like this as well. I went back to the start and did it all from scratch.
Used odin to get back to stock no root no custom recovery.
Once stock I let the phone prompt me for the di07 update ( probably not necessary as there is now a .tar with the di07 update so u can use that in odin)
I installed root using the one click busybox 2.2.4
Then I used the clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 flasher in the Permanent Method! Thread
I then installed the premium rom manager and when I did a backup from it I noticed something different ... it went through some stuff that said "replacing stock recovery with custom" or something to that extent. In the past doing that from rom manager would just take me to the stock rec. Now I can even boot into custom rec from rom manager and since then I've had no fcs of that sort when installing backups or new roms.

From my understanding of this error, so far at least, it has something to do with contact sync. I'm working on developing a ROM right now and I'm experiencing the same issue.
If anyone has any insight into this "acore" error message, I'd like to know what I might be able to do to fix this for myself as well.

So, should I use Whosdaman's DIO7 tar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138) instead of the DG27?
Also, does that pit file (Aridon's 'How to return to stock' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032) work with DIO7?
Thanks for this info, btw
I need that DIO7 file but Megaupload isn't working, would one of you be nice enough to upload it to Mediafire for me?
if your running adw launcher, go into adwsettings > system preferences and make sure that you have wallpaper hack unchecked, this was causing the acore force close issue on my phone
for your clockwork issue, make sure your running a kernel that supports it and also after flashing clockwork recovery (the final version) an update.zip file should have gotten installed on your sd card, dont remove it has it is needed.
the only way to reboot into clockwork recovery is to do it through rom manager, every other way will send you back to the stock recovery.
hope that helps

Odin'd back to stock. Rerooted using 1-click. Rom Manager (paid version) still takes me to that blue samsung.
Don't seem to have update.zip from root, tho i *do* have root.
Still getting the
E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
message, including the update.zip file not found...
****Goes away for 30 mins****
Ok. I re-re-odined. Then tried noobini's permanent method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300)
Try-first would not run. Try-last did not give me su permissions.
What am I missing here?
Maybe I should just re-root the 1-click? If I do, where can I pick up the update.zip and flash it manually?
Thanks,
Drew

Ran the Noobini permanent method over the linux 1-click -- still unsure what I'm missing in way of CWM.
No update.zip on sd card (not in any's the one-click zips i've seen either.
Still can't get to recovery via Rom Manager -- only via Vol Down + Camera + Power,
So, to reiterate, I'm rooted, ROM Manager shows 2.5.0.2, but Flash Alternate Recovery is unavailable.
Back Up Current Rom takes me to the blue samsung recovery (not cwm recovery) with following messages/errors:
--Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Hit the home screen to fastboot back to phone.
Power off
Vol Down + Camera + Power,
make a back up that way
So. Anybody want to lend me their update.zip??
Thx,
Drew.
Looks like I *do* have update.zip on sd card. I copied to my desktop and was able to extract it (meaning the compression didnt get corrupted).
It has all the nandroid files in /sbin.
Just thought of something. This is the same sd card i had in the evo -- has a bunch'a stuff on it (including old cwm backups)
Maybe tomorrow I'll (backup then) format card, odin, reroot?
Have you tried wiping cache and data on each ROM Install? Sometimes crap is left over and you end up with old application data/caches that interfere with the way they interact. Backup what you need, then wipe data/cache. Then install Zip from sdcard, after it finishes, wipe data/cache once more and reboot into Android.
Hope this fixes your issues.

Just an fyi on this acore issue. I was having the same problem after flashing tha boss. went back to andromeda and same thing. Aosp and same thing. Flashed the Andromeda kernel and the problem was solved. During it all clockwork was still working so I'm thinking that aim1126 was right earlier when he said that the kernel must support clockwork.
I sell and activate these phones and i had the acore force close on freshly activated epic the other day
One thing I found is that if you remove the TouchWiz launcher from any ROM then you will get this.

I just installed LauncherPro on Apophis, removed the TouchWiz launcher and deleted it's folder in /data/data/. It's only been about a minute, but I haven't seen any errors yet. Is there any specific way to trigger it?

Try syncing your contacts with TouchWiz's facebook feature... it most likely won't sync.

I just delete that folder because I'm OCD about unneeded files.
Here's how I setup my phone.
1) Odin to DI18
2) Flash clockwork recovery with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300 (Don't worry about rooting. This runs an exploit that gives you temp root and flashes clockwork.)
3) Power off, reboot into clockwork recovery
4) Wipe data
5) Flash ROM (Try my ROM if all else fails. I haven't seen one acore force close.)
6) Flash kernel if needed
That method SHOULD eliminate any possible variation between installs. I'm running the most recent version of Apophis, Phoenix kernel, no TouchWiz, still no errors. If you follow this method and get acore force closes, I will be baffled.

Ah, that might be it. I don't use facebook.
EDIT: I just created a dummy account, opened the contacts app and signed in. It synced without force close. Might be due to a lack of friends. Any other ideas?
So I have a compilation of three issues that I've found on the forums but after two days, of researching and troubleshooting, no luck so hoping someone out there has had a chance to fix this and can share their knowledge.
Here's what I've done so far:
Ran Super One Click to root and worked
Flashed bootloader 30.04
Booted to "critical error 1337 510b"
RSD flashed to VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf (Happy_Holidays_From_TBH.zip) using RSD Lite 4.8
RSD flashed to SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf (SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.zip)
Lost root so tried Super One Click - wouldn't work
Installed Koush Bootstrap recovery
Installed and successfully rooted with z4root
Tried installing to C_01.43.01P.zip from Peter Alfonso and fails with error in list below
So here are the three errors I'm getting now and haven't been able to find a fix to any of them. I'm thinking it's possible permission issues on my device. I ran the Fix Permissions options from ROM Manager but it didn't help.
When I reboot into recovery mode, get error: "e: can't open /cache/recovery/command"
When try to install baseband update and says"Writing RDL/BP image... E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 0) Installation Aborted"
Tried flashing a few other SBF's and about 10 seconds into each, DX shows error "critical error 1337 510b" and flash never moves ahead
Here are some of the items I've tried and none of them have helped:
Rename to update.zip
Install using built in recovery
Installed ROM Manager
Installed ClockWork
Battery pull
Wipe cache (several times)
Install package with DroidExplorer
This list could go on and on an on - I've been working on this for two days
EDIT: Realized I hadn't upgraded the kernel from TBH so I just installed it and it worked properly, but still doesn't fix above issue when trying to update my baseband.
The good news is that I took a backup using ClockWork and I've restored it a half dozen times over past few days (so that I could actually leave the house and use my phone) so my phone is working, I just can't do any more flashing
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Been a few days and no replies. Very uncommon for this forum. Did I post in the wrong area? or not follow forum rules? Or I'm just an idiot? I've tried formatting all partitions (except for sdcard) and get "Error formatting boot partition". All other partitions format correctly but still can't install the latest baseband. The only thing that still works is flashing sbf of VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf and SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf to get back to stock and restore my latest backup. Please help, I would really like to get the latest baseband installed.
I've been told that C_01.43.01P is only for original Droid, not the X - which is why it wouldn't work.
Go to the Droid X Android Development subforum and look at my thread for the update zip. Its a zip you download and flash through clockwork to upgrade and /or fix issues with the latest OTA. That should fix you right.
I rooted my epic 4g phone today. I installed rom manager to backup my current rom. I have flash clockworkmod recovery and gave it superuser permission. when i click on backup current rom. i save the backup name and it restarts. i get an error
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e: signature verification failed
installation aborted.
i have an option to reboot system now, apply sdcard.update.zip or wipe my data and cache partition.
i just need someone to help me solve this issue thanks. also i would like to download roms but that dont work either. thanks for the help in advance.
Sounds like you didn't install cwm. Your on the stock recovery. You can't use rom manager to flash cwm for you on stock kernel. Run the one click root and cwm. use the three finger to get into cwm.
Thank you both for addressing this problem.
Since I am a computer novice in many ways, and new to this forum (thank you for having me), Musclehead84, could could you please step me through the process?
Q: Where do you get 1-click root?
Q: What is the order of operation. Is "get cwm" invoked from inside the 1-click root?
Thanks
I got the one click root from here.

Random, but did you flash the correct modem first?
Are you sure that you are in clockwork recovery and not the Samsung recovery? Have you flashed the correct clockwork through Odin? You need to have the odin flashed clockwork recovery to be able to install test zips. If you are trying to flash a froyo rom you will need to flash the red (voodoo) clockwork recovery.
Can you describe what steps that you have taken when clockwork was installed and what Rom you are trying to download/install. Thanks!

Frustrated and bummed. Would it cause problems or damage my phone to root phone again and re-install Odin 1.3, ClockWork Mod Recovery (voodoo or non voodoo?)? Already installed ROM Manager Premium and Titanium Back-up from Mkt.
Lost!

Why don't you just do the all in one eb01 Odin? Then you don't have to even mess with clockwork, it's super easy. Look for it in the development section

android noob here, just converted to the Vibrant from blackberry not long ago. i'm no stranger to modding phones, did some OS updates on my BB, but now i'm perplexed.
I was gonna try and throw a custom ROM on my Vibrant, but i've hit a speed bump. i'm rooted (via superoneclick), i installed ROM manager, and i flashed the current ClockworkMod recovery (2.5.1.2) but i cannot get it to make a backup. when i boot into recovery mode the only options available are these:
-reboot system now
-reinstall packages
-delete all user data
-delete cache data
-format internal sd card
i think this is the stock recovery, so for some reason it's not recognizing the CWM recovery.
i keep trying "reinstall packages" (at least 15-20 times) but every time i do i get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I've confirmed that the update.zip file exists and is on the internal memory card. I've tried older versions of CWM. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager several times. I'm at a loss at this point.
Also, not sure if it's related, but when i hit the "Fix Permissions" command in ROM Manager it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Is this relevant?
HELP!
Thanks!
sounds to me that you have stock recovery. one that says 3e instead of 2e. If thats the case you do not have root. you need to flash a kernel that has the 3e to 2e fix.
check out this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&page=18.
i'll give this a shot, thanks. hopefully it's not above my level of knowledge!

So... that must have been the problem ! glad I could help.
I greatly appreciate it, thank you.
Embarrassingly enough, I believe the issue was that I didn't have Busybox installed. I did the 3e to 2e fix with no luck, did some more reading and realized I didn't have busybox, so I installed that, redid the 3e to 2e fix, and voila, the green menu appeared. Getting ready to flash a custom ROM now
haven't decided between nero or bionix.
Have you considered looking at Miui or cm7. these are both gingerbread based roms. If you want to stay on a 2.2 I suggest an EDT Rom like project V.
