rooted. latest recovery yet cant flash. - GT540 Optimus General

ok so heres the deal. i bricked my last gt540 but was able to bring it to the store and swap it out.
lol so here we are on the new one and i have it rooted, latest recovery i can find 3.0.2.4...i managed to flash mur4ik's cm7 2.3.3 but now it seems as if im stuck with it. whether i try and flash from clockwork or rom manager i always get a failed attempt. once i noticed it was cause the rom wasnt signed so i toggled the option to off and still it failed. any help would be awesome.
thanks gents!

any help would be super!

try flashing roms using the fastboot method

lol it seems like a major task for me. cant seem to figure out how to do.

ive similar problem,
installed euro 2.1 build using KDZ image. recovery comes up.
If i try to restore zip from sd using update-cm-7.0.2-GT540-MUR4IK-signed.zip i keep on getting:
Installing update
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device" == "swift" || "ro.build.product" == "swift" || "ro.product.board" == "swift" ||

ive read about different hardware used in gt540/swift types.. .maybe thats the issue here?!

so then what should we do? where did you read this stuff?

dunno- therere millions of threads out there. maybe someone feels like and gives us a hint what to do....

ok so i managed to figure out fastboot via cmd. i was overthinking it. anyway i get to the step where i need to send and write the fastboot flash boot boot.img. it sends it but fails to write to the phone.
(remote: flash write failure)
any suggestions?

Have you tried downloading the files again. Sometimes the download is corrupt which will cause a fail in the recovery. I have had it a few times myself. After downloading the file again (often from another source) the recovery completes itself succesfully.

i have tried to redownload. im actually going to bring the phone all the way back to stock and see what happens. kinda start from scratch.

Try this way go to market and Download bt file manager and seleact the update package and extract to a folder then try install zip from sD method try and rply

Get in emergency mode and reflash boot.img via CMD with fastboot commands and you will get the same error probably, but you just reboot it, let it boot it will work

I had to follow this pathway as well. I went back to FRF91 on the HTC site, and the phone would not OTA to the most current. Its odd though, because I did this last week on a different Nexus, HTC site FRF91, and the other OTAs went right through when I turned it on; it OTA itself to FRG83G just fine. Maybe they killed those updates from FRF91 thru FRG83G when GRI40 was released?
Anywho, the updates will eventually get you to GRI40 manual install (if you dont get the OTA notification for it -- like I didn't).
Odd thing though, I went from latest market in FRG83G back to older market when I finally flashed the GRI40 update.zip. D'oh!
I am in the same situation, except when I went to FRG83D I lost my recovery and now I can't go to 83G then GRI40.
I found a recovery.img for stock recovery but when I try to flash using fastboot I get a signature verification failed.
Any ideas? Thanks

i would try going back to frf91 and then upgrading one step at a time... frg83, frg83d, frg83g, gri40. (its what i did, and it was flawless)
there are links in these parts to those updates. verify md5s first, then flash away!

yeah. unzip the file from the htc dev website and then run the fastboot commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
etc... for the remaining img files.
be sure to fastboot erase userdata and fastboot erase cache first
when done, you can fastboot reboot

I've never used ClockworkMod, but it should work with signature verification off. What version of Android are you and an what file are you using to update? There are different files to use if you are on FRF91 or FRG33 or FRG83 or etc...
ok. I have rolled back to FRF91 from htc site.

1. Turn off your phone, and turn it back on while holding down the trackball. What version do you see? 0.33 or 0.35?
2. No. You cannot roll back to 0.33 if you upgrade to 0.35. But anyway, you cannot run GRI40 on the 0.33 HBOOT... You will be running Froyo until you decide to update...
Thank you, efrant.
I have 1 more question.
I can update the nexus the image from HTC using the 'fastboot' from command line.
What is the purpose of HBoot ? why I need to update that in order to update GRI40?
Is there anyway i can update to GRI40 using fastboot command?
Thank you.

Can't get past google splash screen with padlock

Hey guys,
So I attempted to root my nexus s and ran into some troubles.
I started the process on my mac.....(keep in mind I also have a PC, so that is still an option to work with) I got the bootloader unlocked.....I have ClockwordMod Recovery v3.0.0.0 working.......but as soon as I try to restart the device it just wont go past the google splash screen with the padlock.
I've tried to install superuser .zip files.....nandroid backup .zips....with no success. I always get hung up on the splash screen!
I feel terrible I don't know where I went wrong

Did you follow the terrible guide at http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/ where you flash the insecure boot image that is way out of date and only for the i9020t?
Are you trying to restore a stock rom or a custom rom? Either way, grab the full package OTA of a stock rom for your device (around 90mb) or your custom rom of choice and flash that from CWM. That will write a new boot.img as well as /system, etc.

So when i try to install a rom Clockwork always aborts the installation.

Do you have a GSM Nexus S (i9020t, i9020a, i90230) or the CDMA Nexus S 4G? If it's the latter you are trying to flash a ROM that's not for your device. Get a rom for the NS4G from that development forum (device = crespo4g).

It is the GSM Nexus S i9020A. Don't believe that to be an issue.
I've threw so many different zip files on my sd card when I mount it via usb and I always seem to get that same error message. Pretty frustrating....I always read about people not being able to flash recovery but I'm there.....I just can't seem to find anyone who has my same issue...

Hmmm, I notice you said "unroot"
stock recovery or custom?
That assert is there to insure that it is only flashed to a tilapia/nakasig (3g) N7
The getprop values in question are being read from the *recovery*, not the installed ROM... so, the most reasonable conclusion is that you have a custom recovery or stock recovery from a grouper device installed on your (tilapia) 3g N7.
Flash the stock tilapia recovery there and try again.
This would be an unreasonable hypothesis for a never-rooted tab, but you did say "unrooted"

You are maybe using a recovery for grouper. Just flash the right tilapia recovery and all should works.

Hum... I had this kind of problem, I guess.
I searched many threads when I rooted and unlocked my Nexus 7 3g, to avoid this "status 7" problem.
I chose Wug´s nexus toolkit, unlocked and rooted my device. After that, I installed, via toolkit, the TWRP recovery.
When I received the system update notification, my device asked me to reboot, then a screen of TWRP appeared to me. I just rebooted the system and now, without update, I don´t even get the message again.
I assume that the Wug´s toolkit flashed a grouper version of TWRP. What I have to do now ? I would like to do the things manually. Maybe flash a factory image from here with this method.
I´m very noob with this kind of thing, because I still have a old milestone 2 with a locked bootloader. The method to flash ROM in milestone 2 is quite different...
Anybody can help me ?

i downloaded the lastest 4.3 image from google (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasijwr66y)
you must have a clean and fresh install of it.
trying to flash this via CWM or TWRP recovery failed.
so i extractet the image and used the "flash-all.bat/flash-all.sh"
all user data were gone (i dont care about at my tablet ) but so a could flash the rom.
after that i could flash the update to 4.4
oder esyer now. flash the stock 4.4 image

so I was so elated to finally have KitKat. I downloaded the update from one of the sites linked in the General Forum for the Nexus 7, and attempted to adb sideload it. This is what I got:
Verifying current system…
“/system/etc/audio_effects.conf” has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
What do I do?
Thank you for your help

I've attached the original file I extracted from the 4.3 stock image (nakasi-jwr66y-factory-1e503532.tgz).
You can try copying it to /system/etc/ (ensuring permissions are correct) and then retry the installation.
I suspect that if you've been playing around with audio tweaks then it's going to fail on other files too.
If it does, then you can use fastboot to _just_ flash the system.img and you won't lose any of your data.
Same thing happened to me. But it's worse, it's stuck on bootloader and Windows won't recognize the device (unkown device on device manager) so I can't even use adb to flash factory image. I'm really desperate here, anyone here with a tip?

Use Wug toolkit to install drivers (it has a couple of possibilities) until it works, then install factory image.
I got it to work on windows 8.1, so it's possible.
I'm having a similar problem. I tried to adb sideload 4.4 that I downloaded from the google website and got an error. Now my nexus 7 is bootlooping at the google logo and returning to twrp shortly after. I can't seem to use fastboot and I've wiped everything. I'm also on a Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to figure out a solution.
I received the error message "E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/media/0/sideload.zip' "

You need to post the whole error message, not just that one line.

There's your problem. You have no /system/build.prop file.
Did you delete it? Have you a backup? You need to get it back on the device.
Edit: I've attached the build.prop from the N7 2012 (nakasi/grouper) JWR66Y ROM.

Just use something like Root Explorer to copy it from your SD card to /system/ (and check permissions are 644 or rw-r--r--).

If you can say what device and ROM you're coming from, I can probably post the right version of the file.
