[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?
Hey everyone,
I just loaded the latest tranquility and im loving it. i have a question though. ive been trying to load some custom tweaks, themes (specifically Gala X Theme 1.6.1) from clockworkmod and when it reboots to load the "rom" I get the Exclamation point/android icon. i click the home button and what it says, right after verifying update package..., is e:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument), E:signature verification failed, installation aborted. i can then reboot into tranquility. Am i doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance! Also, off the topic of clockwork, is there any way to set your own sounds for notifications?
Probably what's going on is you're not booting into clockwordmod. Sometimes the bootstrapper doesn't take. Try re-running the bootstrapper and then trying again.
You might also try re-downloading the file if that doesn't work after retrying the bootstrapper.
Its rebooting into clockwork recovery. At least that's what it says on the top of the screen. I also have bootstrap. I tried to install the package manually from clockwork recovery and it said e:signature verification failed. I know you can either boot into bootstrap recovery or recovery using clockworkmod. Would trying to install from bootstrap recovery change anything? Basically what I've been doing is going into clockworkmod, download rom section, download what I want, tell it to install and it fails. Also can I install these mods/roms Manually? Im still learning btw so thanks everyone for their help!
Try using the bootstrap recovery option in bootstraper then going to rom manager and downloading it and installing, seems like you have to hit the bootstrap recovery after every reboot

thanks guys! i ended up getting it to work. i just loaded the roms manually by booting into recovery using bootstrap instead of trying to do it automatically with clockworkmod rom manager. i probably shouldve mention rom manager up there cuz thats the program i was actually having trouble with. so i got everything i wanted installed manually and estoy happy! thanks guys for your replies and help!
I have rom manager installed and am trying to install a rom from sdcard I keep gettin error message after it boots into recovery mode can someone tell me what I am doing wrong
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Try giving us a little more details on what the error message says. Otherwise it's hard to determine what exactly you're doing wrong.
We can start with the basics, do you have ClockWorkMod installed?
Yes clockworkmod is installed, the error message e: file signature failed
E:failed to verify
Installation aborted
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Try installing the ROM without using ROM Manager. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, then manually choose the zip and flash.
This usually means that clockwork is not installed correctly and that you are not flashing the rom from within clockwork.

I installed it from rom manager and it said it installed right, hold down vol down power and camera to get into recovery mode correct? Then how do I manually choose the zip file?

I rooted my epic w one click and I did a factory restore did that take out my root privs ?

It definitely sounds as though you haven't properly installed ClockWork -- IT appears you are booting in to the stock recovery, which will not allow you to flash a rom.
Assuming your phone is rooted, you will want to goto this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
and download this method of installing clockwork. Follow the directions on the post, and you shouldn't have an issue getting clockwork to run.
I'm just curious....did you rename or move this from inside the phone? I know I moved a couple roms using astro and then tried and no go.....maybe it was just me tho...

Hey guys, new to rooting and mods on phones. i have a samsung fascinate that i rooted on saturday. installed rom manager, root explorer, clockwork and ti backup. the problem i am having is that when i attempt to flash the super clean rom from jt1134, by using the rom manager. it keeps giving me a few different error messages. on is E: failed to verify whole-file signature and E:Signature verification Failed. Through my research i tried dl'ing the zip form to the sd card, and similar messages came up. please help. Thanks
Not to be a jerk but you're more likely to get an answer from the General board.
Sorry for being a noob. Thanks for the advice. Like I said I'm new at this

Did you install CWM correctly (by using Odin and flashing the .tar file)?
If so, you can boot into CWM by using ROM Manager and pick "Reboot into Recovery"..
Then when in CWM, select Flash .zip from SD card..
Ya. I posted it in general and figured out that was the problem... Got it all fixed up and running super well. Thanks guys

Hi all, I screwed up running an update to my ROM, recovered through Odin (again ha), flashed back to stock, rooted successfully, and installed Clockwork, but whenever I try flashing my ROM through ROM Manager, the phone reboots right, then gives me the "E: failed to verify whole-file signiture E: Signiture verification failed"
I just want to get back on BlackHole :\ I searched around but either people figured it out and didnt explain, or the problems variables were too far apart from mine. I have tried removing and reinstalling clockwork, and I have tried redoing the entire process to the same result.
Any insight?
I want to add that I'm not flashing Clockwork through Odin, because the files aren't available on the forum anymore. Is this the error?
You need to flash the cwrecovery.tar file, which enables you to flash zips signed with test keys. Look in the thread about flashing clockwork on win/*nix.

You're doing it right, just missing one step. Installing clockwork mod through rom manager only downloads the update.zip file for it to your sdcard, you have to flash the cwm compatible stock recovery through odin. the file can be found here:

Excellent, I figured as much but since I couldn't find it anywhere I assumed it had been changed.
BEAUTIFUL. Thank you. Looking forward to running your 3.0. I was on 1.4 or something.
