Flashing Help - Blade General

Ok guys I really need your help. I messed up flashing and because I did things in the wrong order. Here's what I did:-
1. I upgraded gen1 to gen 2
2. I then wiped data/factory reset without flashing clockworkmod recovery.
3. The phone then rebooted and stayed on the green man screen and thats it.
4. I managed to finally find a clockworkmod that would work v3.0.1.4 none of the others came on, it just stayed at the green man screen.
5. I try flashing and all it say's:-
Install from sd card
Finding update
opening update
E:Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
I did another phone at christmas and that worked fine because I did it in the right order. But I do remember when I flashed the clockworkmod it was green and upsidedown, but I can't find one that does that now.

Is the rom you're trying to install called update.zip? If not then choose the option "Install rom from sd card" and select the rom.

Black screen after flash and hard reset

Hi all! 1st post here
I tried to flash the new 2.2 firmware yesterday, but something went wrong...
I have now tried to hard reset it from Recovery mode (Vol Up+Home+Power).
I tried cache wipe and factory reset first, and the update.zip option as well.
No matter what I do, the phone boots, shows the "S" logo for a while, but then the screen gets black. I can't even tell if the phone is on or off...
What's the matter?! I'm at work so I can't re-flash it with Odin...
Any suggestions on this? Please don't tell me it's bricked
Have a good one!
EDIT: The phone is ON now, because the Back and Menu buttons are lit. But the screen remains black and the phone seems unresponsive.
I am having this same problem, I flashed to JP3 and it worked however when I flashed back to JM2 I have this exact same problem, it looks as the flash goes through completely however it doesnt work.
I have flashed, and reflashed, using previous firmwares, restarted my computer, reflashed again, flashed with repartition box checked, flashed with repartition box unchecked,.... all seem to produce the same results,... after flash the phone goes straight into recovery mode... is this normal>??? I am unable to run update.zip, the phone says
Cant open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
installation aborted
Booted into recovery mode and did a factory reset however still boots to a black screen.
Reflash the phone in download mode just produces the same results.... im lost
Update: So I restarted my computer, and went through with the flash, after the phone reboots, it automatically goes to the recovery menu with this error:
update media, please wait
E:Cant Mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA
your storage is not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
Copy default media content failed
Now at this screen I just select reboot phone.
help please...
hi,
don't panic, it appened to me 4 or 5 times already,
i solved the problem instaling samsung recovery system ver 3 <3e> the e means europe "in my case".
for that i flashed with JP3 "froyo 2.2" and pit 513 because android 2.1 has SRS v2 and dont let us solve the repartition problem, after the SRS pops i selected the option "flash sd card" and after that selectet option reboot "or restart i dont remember" and voila.
if you have any Q? just ask i will try to help
ps: you have to wipe data e wipe partition and format memory and at the end reboot

Hi I got the same problem so I flashed with pit 513 but there is no "Flash SD card" option, there is only format internal sd card option and it gives "can't mount sd card", can you give me some help?
did any of you install clockwork mod?
It seems like clockwork mod not deleting Dalvik Cache. If you didn't made that mistake like me then try UGJG8 Firmware with 512 pit.
Has anyone figured out a way to resolve this.
I am stuck with the same issue
Sorry for not replying earlier... I solved things by just re-flashing with some other firmware version...
Currently running JM5 with ~2200 score in Quadrant (with lagfix 1.8)
I have now had this happen after what seemed like a successful upgrade from the now officially released Froyo for the Bell I9000.
I am very sad but am hoping there is a way to fix this without losing my phone to Samsung for a month or more...
Any help is greatly appreciated and links to downloads are also very appreciated rather than just referring to something and not putting a link to it.
Thanks....
Never mind all...
I gave up and sent it back. I got a free loaner so not all bad...

CWM not working

I have been having issues with CWM on my Fascinate for about 2 weeks now. Whenever I try to flash anything via CWM I get this message:
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
The "reboot system now" is highlighted and I cannot do anything to select apply update.zip
On the bottom part of the screen it says:
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
Now I have flashed back to D101 and did the ota update to DL09, and flashed the CWM via odin posted on a thread from the android central forum, it is basically a version of CWM for DL05 and DL09. (can't post outside links so I havent posted enough in this forum).
I have tried to apply the update.zip but whenever I do that, after about 25% of the way through it goes back to the error.
I have completely run out of ideas and the people at the android central forums have as well. I have tried everything that I can think of but obviously I am not doing something right.
Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what I can do to try to resolve this issue? Or if there is a way to flash a rom and kernel without CWM. I really do not want to be stuck with stock Fascinate so anything would be appreciated.
Thank you
You have to go into CWM immediately after flashing in Odin, before booting up, and flash a new kernel. DL09 breaks CWM on the stock kernel
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I had that same issue until a user on another forum informed me that right after flashing cwm, replace battery and go immediately into recovery mode, do not let the phone boot normally.
Now I am able to add kernels and roms to my hearts content.
I'm in a similar situation except my error comes while trying to back up my ROM.
I did root via pushing rage.bin via ADB
Then I used ODIN to put CWMrecovery.tar on the phone.
Flashed CWM via ROM Manager.
At this point I did a full backup with TiBu and did a ROM Backup via ROM Manager.
After that I froze bloatware, 'upgraded' to the Sywpe Beta and De-binged.
At about this point I realized that I had lost Haptic so I flashed the DL09 stock Kernel and that problem was solved. I thought I was good to go until I tried to do another backup via ROM Manager.
When I ran the backup I got the same error as the OP. I ended up in 2e recovery. Since I'm new to this I just chose reboot phone. I did some searching last night but all the posts I found dealt with people flashing custom ROMs and I was getting tired I called it a night with the plans to do more searching today but then I came across this post.
I reviewed my notes and saw the other thread about CWM Recover mode and I checked and I can't reboot into CWM Recovery (via ROM Man) either. I end up in Android (2e) recovery.
I saw the post above me and I need to search on these instructions so I understand this step better.
"I had that same issue until a user on another forum informed me that right after flashing cwm, replace battery and go immediately into recovery mode, do not let the phone boot normally."
I don't seem to be able to boot (up and down key = Power buttong) into any recovery.
It seems like I need to repush CWM via Odin and then reflash via Rom Man but I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow so I'll wait for some input before trying anything since the phone is functionally working.
I'm new to rooting phones so some help with this error would be appreciated.

My phone is updated OTA DL09. Then rooted via ADB. I installed ROM Manager and flashed CWM. Since then I've done the usual root stuff. I noticed that haptic was not working and I fixed that by flashing a stock DL09 kernel. I have not flashed a custom ROM.
After de binging yesterday I went todo a back up via ROM Manager and got the same error as the OP. I ended up in 2e recovery. I didn't want to really screw up my phone guessing so I just chose reboot phone.
I was going to do more searching tonight but came across this post first.
I have done two successful back ups via ROM Manager, so after reading this post I assume it's flashing the kernel that got me to this error.
I'm new to rooting phones so some help with this error would be appreciated.

I don't use custom roms on my phone but from what I'm gathering on this...
You will need to put it back to DL09 stock...
Flash CWM via Odin..
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...s-hacks/54659-how-rooting-your-fascinate.html
Post 4 here will tell you how to do it.
After flashing CWM you will need to put your phone into recovery right away instead of letting the normal rom load. You will then flash over another kernel using CWM and that is it.
List of kernels can be found here:
http://www.samsungfascinateforum.com/custom-roms/list-of-custom-dj05-kernels-for-verizon-fascinate/
I have never put a new kernel or rom on my phone but from what i've read this is the jist of it.
You shouldn't have to flash back to stock...
1. Download all necessary files and place on root of your SD card (nonstock kernel, update.zip)
Edit: also add in the superuser and busybox zips, and flash those after kernel (step 5) and this will give you root back if you lost it updating
2. Flash modified CWM .tar with Odin
3. Replace battery and boot directly into recovery by holding both volume buttons down while powering on
4. Once in recovery, apply update.zip to get into CWM
5. Flash new kernel
6. Reboot, enjoy
Kevin and Rob
I followed the instructions to the letter over at AndroidCentral (including flashing busybox_su) and I'm back up and running with Haptic feedback and I'm watching a ROM backup via ROM Manager as I type this. I have not done a lot of testing yet but everything seems to be working fine.
Thanks for all the help.

Just did that and after I select Install zip from SD car, the screen goes black. When I press the home button it goes back to the green list but when I select anything from there, the screen goes black again.
I have tried flashing back to stock, updating to DL09 and flashing cwm again, but same issue.
OK I am getting really tired of dealing with this. Nothing I try works. I am just going to give up on the idea of installing roms and kernels on my fascinate. I have no idea what the problem is and nobody knows either.
Thanks for all those that helped.
When in CWM the home button turns the screen off. Use the back button or power button to select

Shh, I had no idea about that. I assumed since in order to get to cement recovery you had to press home key that that is what you use while in recovery. Everything works now, thank you.
ok, I'm ready to sell this damn Fascinate on Craigslist for a peanut butter sandwich. I'm miffed with getting CWM working. I have pushed the updated version onto the phone via ODIN, immediately booted into recovery (got the red recovery), and it won't mount my SD card. I had a similar problem in green recovery - it could see my SD card, but wouldn't show me all the files - including the download folder. So I couldn't flash anything. I've tried this 100 different ways. There's nothing wrong with the SD card. It reads fine in the phone, files working other than CWM. Please help. I'm stuck on stock. Have mercy.

That is the file I used. Relief
Tried both through Odin and loading onto phone. No dice.

OK, just to make sure I'm not crazy, I tried again. First I downloaded the SuperClean 2.2 update to my SD card. I re-downloaded the updated update.zip file and put it at the root of my SD card. I flashed DL09.tar.md5 via Odin to get back to stock. That completed with no problem. I flashed the EB01 radio, no problem. Flashed the updated CWM. Immediately booted into recovery (red). Attempted to Apply update.zip. Errored out. Attempted to apply update from SD card. Here's the error I'm getting:

I think I see what your issue is. The red CWM that you loaded via ODIN installs onto the phone itself. You no longer need an update.zip file containing CWM on your sdcard. As long as you have successfully booted into red CWM, your next step is to do a full wipe, and then choose the "install zip from sdcard" option. You should then be able browse your sdcard and select the zip file containing the rom.
DO NOT rename the zip file containing the rom to update.zip and then select the "apply update.zip" option, as that will definitely not work. That option expects to find the CWM recovery app in the update.zip file, and errors out if it's anything else.
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
Oh, and make sure you have the most recent new CWM file from jt1134. The post from him that had the first fixed CWM I think may have required an update.zip file, but the current, updated files in it do not. If you're not sure, download the latest one from that post for Odin, and flash it from Odin again. You will them no longer need update.zip for sure.

[Q] bricked

Hi !
today I decided i should upgrade from CM7.0.2 to nb 118. But I first installed latest radio. I did a backup at this point. The radio flash went ok, the phone booted and everything worked fine.
I installed nightly build 118 from ROM manager without google apps, and with a dalvik wipe (no data/cache wipe). The phone booted up ok, but some widgets had disapeared, some shortcuts didn't work and some apps had disapeared too, the autorotation of screen at 0° had been unticked too... I rebooted, and finally decided I should revert to my backup.
That's where the real problem happens : after the backup restoration, the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
I can start with fastboot mode, but I can't access recovery mode, the red exclamation mark is there...
I'm not sure this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751265 is adapted to my situation, should I follow it ?
Thank you for your help !
PS : I'm S-OFF
This should be @ the Q&A section but anyway, here we go:
I just had that bootloop situation myself and yes, you should follow that usb unbrick tutorial. That'll help you. Also, you should try if you can get to fakeflash by pressing VOLUP + POWER while @ the red exclamation window. If you can and you should be able to, search XDA for "fakeflash clockworkmod" or something similar, you should find a CWM image in a ZIP form. Then put that image into your SDCard, rename it to update.zip, go into the fakeflash menu and apply update.zip, it should fly you to the real recovery menu where you can do a full wipe and flash your ROM again.
Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything =D At least that's how I solved my situation and my phone is working fully again!
Hi.
Do you have the update.zip from recovery clock in the root of your sdcard, if so just press volume up and the power down at the same time, or the other way around ;-) when it change picture choose option, install update.zip and you should be in recovery mode
Im a noob, so dont laugh if i have written it the wrong way
Cheers, and good luck.
Jesus chist, it is written in the second post... Damn.

That "Can't open /cache etc." error message indicates that you are in the fake-flash menu. Do you have a working recovery image in the root of your SDcard renamed to "update.zip"? If not, try searching the forum for "clockworkmod fakeflash" or something similar and it should show some topics that will help you.
I recently got my Legend working again from bootloop and usb brick so I'm ready to help you with your further problems that may occur =)
EDIT: And please, make sure that your recovery zip is just "update.zip" and not a ZIP file named "update.zip" cause then it will be a file called "update.zip.zip" =D

I hope you read this and if it isn't fixed yet then take a rom YOU KNOW that works.
go into recovery Go to "mounts and storage" and format SYSTEM. NOTHING ELSE.
Do a wipe and THEN flash your zip.
Remember to NOT go out of recovery when you have formatted the system.
I hope it helps.

[Q] Please help! Problem flashing ROM

Hi,
I am pretty new in this. Tried to flash my HD2 to an Android ROM today, but got stuck on the installation part from SD (install ZIP from SD).
When the HD2 is booting I get the CWM-based Recovery screen V4.0.1.4
When I select "install ZIP from sdcard" i select the ZIP on the sdcard.
Install starts and i get the screen "Have fun with DUNGPHP's ROMS"
Processing system, please wait. After a while the installation is automatically aborted with the errormessage:
E:Error in /sdcard/DHD_3.06.405.1_Sense_3.0_v1.3_EU.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
What is going wrong?
The steps I followed:
1. I flashed the cLK loader and Recovery
2. I installed the google usb driver on my pc to connect to phone
3. I did run fast_resize.bat from cLK folder
4. I did run fastboot_install_recory.bat from the cLK folder
5. I followed the installationsteps on my phone for installing the ROM.
Before all this I did flash the latest HSPL and Radio.
What I noticed, is when i boot the device and get the cLK screen (with options boot recovery, boot sboot etc.) i see in the header "RADIO-UNKNOWN" allthough i flashed Radio 2.15.50.14.
What can be wrong? Hope someone can help me..please
Thanks!
Regards,
Edwin

id try redownload the file again.
Also, you didnt use magldr to copy the file to sd did you? it doesnt handle large files well. Either use cwm sd transfer or use a card reader.
I've tried 2 ROM's, both with the same error.
I also copied the ROM's (ZIP) on the SD directly with my laptops SD-slot.
Any clue what can be wrong?
Edwin
Tried more things. I used several SD cards, results are all the same, error during installation.
I tried to install 2 ROM's:
- Desire_S_sense3.5_Android.2.3.4_v1.3_EU.zip
- DHD_3.06.405.1_Sense_3.0_v1.3_EU.zip
Both ROM's gave the same error during installation "error in ZIP", and on both my SD cards.
I downloaded a different ROM, CMYLXGOs.Stock.Desire.HD.v1.0.7n.NAND.RMNET.NO-SQUASH-MDJ.S10.4OC_CWM.zip.
That one was installed successful. But after rebooting system, the recovery mode was still coming up.Selecting normal boot gave an error, there was no loader.
I am really stuck now, hope someone can help me.
Edwin
Man try doing a hard restore I think something went wrong in your process of installing cwr not in your process of installing rom . Install cwr again and than try again. It should work !!!
Click thanks if I helped you.

Hi guys, I hope you can help me.
I have just rooted + flashed my motorola defy plus for the first time (on any device for that matter)
I installed 2nd init, version 0.6.... or something.
Put a rom, kernel and google apps on my sd-card
Then I turned usb-debugging off and rebooted my phone.
Now I can get into bootmenu, and this is what I do:
1) go to recovery
2) select custom recovery
3) then it says: Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.1.8
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
4) I then select wipe data/factory reset
5) then it says this: Formatting DATA

8) then I select the zip file containing the rom
9) And it says: Finding update package

Now I can't go any further and can't use my phone at all
I hope u guys can help me, and that I haven't F*ed up my phone

Does you disabled the usb debugging before flashing?
Yes I do, but nothing change,
Thanks
if I'm not mistaken the last release of 2nd init is not compatible with defy. Try to check this on the development forum. I hope I have been of help.
I'd tried with both 1.0.7 latest and 0.6.1.
With latest, the phone is blocked.
Thanks
I had used this. Try with it
P.S. sorry for my bad english.
Tried, the same errors,
Thanks
I don't know. Sorry. By the time i had used that.
I think you need to go to stable recovery after you wipe your data from custom recovery

I think you need to go to stable recovery after you wipe your data from custom recovery
What do you mean by "stable recovery"? You talk about version 0.6. of 2nd init or something else?
Can you show a step-by step procedure?
Thank you in advance.
However, which is the procedure to un-root a defy+ and to have it with the original, fresh system?
I had flash a new SBF, root with Unlockroot v2.3, anything else doesn't work, 2ndinit v2.0 stable, wipe data/cache/dalvik (same errors), try to install cm9-ics, the same error "Can't make /tmp/update_binary"

Hi, I have exactly the same problem.. Trying to find a solution but is quite difficult. First I thought it has something to do with the partitioning, as stated in THIS topic. But, in THIS topic, people say that partitioning the SD card is not necessary at all..
@Cretu22: Yes stable recovery is CWM 0.6
Don't install stable recovery! I too faced this issue when I flashed using stable recovery. In snd init install Latest recovery and then try flashing your ROM. That should work..
I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu

Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu

Okay!! I hope you were pressing the volume down button when the blue LED came?? Try doing this again all over.. I mean reinstall 2nd init and then latest recovery.. I remember doing this once(instal latest recovery after I installed stable recovery)..

Yes, its working Pressing the volume down button was not necessary with 0.6.7, that was what went wrong. Now the zips installed like a charm
i know the answer and is very simple
the problem is that you cannot create that specific folder.... because it already exist, cmp (connected music player) creates it, just delete it from SD and done!
