What file are you installing named "update.zip"?
If you're flashing a ROM, you should be choosing "install from zip file" , then "choose zip file from sdcard"
Yes I've tried it that way, but like u said its not installing anything not even with a different SD card.
......I wish someone was located in Philadelphia that I can have them do it n actually see the problem ...):
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
And yes I tried update zip n even tried the stock ROM....nothing ...
Could you perhaps post a video of what CWM is doing when you try to flash a new rom?
Also have you tried to do the downgrade down the 3.0.1 and then rooted, install acer recovery and try the whole process again? It's worth a try.
ok so i flashed my a500 tab with acer recovery and I have tried to install a new rom and now it will not let me install any rom!!
After you installed acer recovery you
Boot into acer recovery
Then once into acer recovery you have to flash cwm from within acer recovery.
Then boot into cwm and select the rom that you put on the root of your external sd card.
Something strange going on.
ok i could only turn it on by power + vol - button...
its stuck on the Acer logo, i tried a hard reset (don't care if i lose my root) as they showed on the Acer website and it wouldn't even do that....
so i have called Acer and being as tho its under warranty i sent it back to get a new one...
I'll reply to this post once i receive it back....Thx everyone!
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
Formatting CACHE
FORMATTING SDEXT
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure
Data wipe complete
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
6) After that i select install zip from sdcard
7) then I select choose zip from sdcard
8) then I select the zip file containing the rom
9) And it says: Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted
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
I have a quite similar problem.
On a defy+,rooted 2ndinit installed, backup-ed first, download the new quarx05/03 ICS, put the zip on sd, wipe data, reboot and start to install ics, but the message was

Thanks to the previously backup I can use may phone as usual.
What I have done wrong with de ICS installation?
Thanks
PS. Sorry for probable a dummie question:What we have to do with md5 zip near the CM9 Jordan.zip?
A little help please about the subject?

I guess that this is a simple and many times occured error, since nobody has any answer....
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

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!
So I did flashed the ROM, and I thought everything went fine and was happy, until I finally opened my phone for first time after the flash and the problems started. My sim wouldnt be recognized I had no service available, and also the battery would not be recognised, charging or not, the battery indicator was always showing I was at 0%...
and last but not least it was force closing every minute!
I flashed from Oxygen Custom 2.3 ROM, and did all the wiping stuff on the CWM(which I also updated to a valid for ICS Aurora version)
Now I got back to the latest Oxygen 2.3 and everything is fine, but I would really like to be able and get the ICS ROM, so any help is deeply appreciated!

Yeah, I thought so! But I cant make it work, I cant flash it, I mean, I had my microSD with the required free space made the folders and pasted the STEP 1 thing in there, tryed to hold down the power button + volume up+ volume down and everything I got was, the pink screen that wouldnt leave for 20 mins(the max I left it)
So yeah!
Do you mean you transferred the 'Step 1' folder to the sd? You need to open the step 1 folder and put just the 'dload' folder across to the sd. If that doesn't work try putting the dload folder in the internal sd.
When you installed aurora did you to wipe chache, system, data and delvik cache?

to make things clear here is my history:
1- after installing oxygen I changed internal partition size with some zip file from xda (And I was so happy with that)
2- installed ICS aurora but simcard not detected
3- tried to get back to stock rom with dload 2.2.1 (tmn portugal rom provided in xda) but in update progress and cwm it says E: couldn't mount; so everything ruined.
now I can not use ICM nor get back to Oxygen and nor stock rom

You cannot flash stock rom with cwm. You need to put dload folder in root of sdcard and when phone is powered off start it by holding vol +/- and power button. This is all in instructions coming with stock rom.
Your problem with sim card in aurora was probably because you need official 2.3.5, not 2.2.1. There is a different kernel. You, should update to 2.3.5, root, install cwm and then flash aurora again in cwm.

Try to update to 2.3.5, by putting the dload into your SD power up your phone while holding both volume (+)(-) buttons!
Let it finish!
But I think there might be a problem!
You need to repartition your SD to as it was with official ROM, and then flash 2.3.5!

Thank you guys, I solved my problem by wiping and flashing dload twice.
I,m so happy now, I thought my phone died
Hi, this is my first post on XDA and after watching the "Noob" video I will be wary here, haha
So, I needed to update my IDEOS u8800 to 2.3.*, I googled if the hardware could support it and it said yes, but the software isn't official.
I did some research and found I had to root the phone, I did so successfully, it was quite fun honestly.
It now had SuperUser but it was still the same version so I googled some more and found out about ROMs.
From what I could gather you can upgrade your android version if you "Flash" a correct ROM (If your hardware supports it ),
Then I downloaded and installed CWM v 5.0.2.7 and backed up the whole phone using MyBackup and Titanium Backup, that worked well, but when I tried to Flash a ROM, thats when the problems began...
So I downloaded the ROM and moved it to my SD card, like the many tutorials said, then I fully shut down my phone and held the Power and VOL+ buttons and entered CWM recovery, I formated the /data and /cache by using the "- wipe data/factory reset" option on the first screen (Not sure if that formated "/dalvik") and "- wipe cache partition", after that I went into the menu "- install zip from sdcard" then "- choose zip from sdcard" and selected the .zip file that was the ROM I downloaded, then I got an error, I will post the whole log...
Log:
"CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7

E:Error in /sdcard/oxygen2.3.2-u8800.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
I have had a little bit of time in Java and from what I can tell, the ROM doesn't say its compatible with the device, the build of the device or the board, which I think refers to the motherboard.
Also, the phone won't boot past the "IDEOS" icon, I think the current ROM is broke, now, atleast
I would like a way to get it to boot again at Android version 2.2
I would love a way to make it boot again and upgrade the Android version to 2.3 (Or higher, if its compatible, I doubt it is although)

Are you using CWM 5.0.2.7 with 12900 baseband?
I am pretty sure I am using that version of CWM but no idea at all on the baseband I could find out if you pointed me in the right dirrection.
Just remembered my friend has an IDEOS u8800 just like mine, but working, its rooted but nothing more, would that help?

You must use 5.0.2.6 recovery for 12900 baseband
where is a download link for that?

Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk.
Below is a procedure that can be used to update your HD+ EMMC to LN14.1 from CM11 (if your HD+ is currently running stock ROM, use the process described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-installing-ln14-1-internally-hd-t3562810/).
Download the following files to a location in your user content-media storage space on the HD+:
amaces' flashable TWRP zip file, e.g., twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip ( https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778)
amaces' flashable LN14.1 ROM zip file, e.g., lnos_ovation-ota-NMF26Q.170104.zip from https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778
the flashable zip file of the Gapps pico package open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-2017[mmdd].zip from http://opengapps.org/
Boot into your current EMMC recovery.
Select install zip and install the TWRP recovery zip file obtained in step 1(a).
Power off the Nook.
Boot into the new TWRP recovery flashed in the step 3 (press and hold the Home button, then press and hold the Power button until after the CyanoBoot Universal Bootloader screen comes on, then release both buttons).
Select wipe /data & factory reset.
Select install zip and install the LN14.1 zip file.
Select install zip and install the Gapps zip file.
Reboot into the new LN14.1.
Once the Nook completes the boot (be patient as it takes quite a bit of time), set up the Wifi connectivity and your Google account info. Note that the Apps you previously have on CM11 will not be auto-downloaded/restored into your new LN14.1.
If you run into problems during initial setup:
- absence of WiFi network setup step: see this post
- setup process crashes (as have been reported with some combos of ROM and GApps build versions): retry the clean install process with the sequence of steps # 6, #7 & #9 (i.e., skipping over step #8 flashing GApps) and complete the initial setup, then reboot into TWRP to flash GApps; see also https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72104906&postcount=37 for solution for other setup crash causes.
To enable "Root", see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72185622&postcount=1915.
Notes
If you encounter errors in step 3 (using your existing CWM recovery to flash the new TWRP zip file):
- If you have a SD card handy, consider using the procedure described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-installing-ln14-1-internally-hd-t3562810.
- Otherwise, you can try to flash the flashable TWRP zip file available at http://www.mediafire.com/file/3gj4g9j1x363dor/cwm-flashable_twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip.
Please post any comment/question on the features or performance of AOSP & LN ROM builds on the Developer's thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269.

Have you tried flashing TWRP through their official app? I think I also had trouble trying to flash TWRP through CWM, but the app worked at the time.
You could also flash internal TWRP through Amaces's multi mode bootable SD recovery. It does mean you'd need to setup a spare SD card for it, but it can be good to have handy anyway [emoji6]

I can't tell why the update script doesn't identify your device as "ovation".

Thanks guys!
I just ended up using the SD card procedure. TWRP app failed as well. CM11 was slowing to a crawl on the NookHD+ so hopefully Lineage will give it new life!
error 20 on gapps (you don't have Android 7)
Hi, had CM11 on my HD+ for over a year. Unfortunately I left it on til battery completely discharged the other night, and even after charging to 100%, it would only go in a boot loop. (cyanogenmod bootloader, then robot face, then cyanogenmod bootloader again, then robot face again, etc, nonstop). So I thought, why not wipe it and put Lineage on?
So first following the link from this thread, for doing a from scratch install (not the link for if you have CM11 since it wasn't even booting for me, so assuming corrupt),
I got to the point of installing TWRP, and it failed with a zip signature verification error. So okay, I uncheck that verification box, and it appeared to install okay. Onto the lnos zip file. As a precaution, I also unchecked the verification box (thinking it might fail like the TWRP install), and besides a couple messages about "E: unknown command [LOG] " which I ignored (from what I read online can be safely ignored?) , and it took a good while (10 or more minutes? didn't time it) and says "script succeeded: result was [10000000] ,updating partition details, ....done" So I assumed it installed? Then tried installing open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170329.zip, and it fails with "This GApps pkg is for Android 7.1.X only. Please download the correct version for your ROM: 4.4.4.(SDK 19) GApps installation failed No changes were made to your device. Installer will now exit Error Code: 20" and install failed basically. So I reboot and what do you know I still see the CM boot loop going on. Does this mean the old CM11 OS is still installed? Or just a bootloader? And if I press "N" I see TWRP as an option, as well as CM (legacy) So I boot to TWRP and go to Wipe, but this time, do Advanced, and select to wipe all items except external SD. Restart, and same CM boot loop is going on. (I had done the basic Wipe before that)
So something isn't right here, or I'm missing some steps? Any help please?

YES I tried both procedures. In fact I tried that link you have for "installing new" procedure first But it failed on the Gapps part. And like I said the previous CM11 (at least boot part) seems corrupt as its stuck in a boot loop. So ideally if it's not riskier, I was attempting to wipe off the old system. (unless by checking all the boxes except SD, under Wipe, Advanced, I did accomplish that? and just the boot/bootloader portion remains?

So first following the link from this thread, for doing a from scratch install (not the link for if you have CM11 since it wasn't even booting for me, so assuming corrupt),
I got to the point of installing TWRP, and it failed with a zip signature verification error. So okay, I uncheck that verification box, and it appeared to install okay. Onto the lnos zip file. As a precaution, I also unchecked the verification box (thinking it might fail like the TWRP install), and besides a couple messages about "E: unknown command [LOG] " which I ignored (from what I read online can be safely ignored?) , and it took a good while (10 or more minutes? didn't time it) and says "script succeeded: result was [10000000] ,updating partition details, ....done" So I assumed it installed? Then tried installing open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170329.zip, and it fails with "This GApps pkg is for Android 7.1.X only. Please download the correct version for your ROM: 4.4.4.(SDK 19) GApps installation failed No changes were made to your device. Installer will now exit Error Code: 20" and install failed basically. So I reboot and what do you know I still see the CM boot loop going on. Does this mean the old CM11 OS is still installed? Or just a bootloader?

It appears that the old CM11 ROM is still there, the "... succeed ... " message notwithstanding.
The problem behavior seems to be pointing to the possibility that your EMMC is hosed (not readable/writeable). You can test this by trying to re-install stock ROM (see #6 of https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613).
And if I press "N" I see TWRP as an option, as well as CM (legacy)

These are just the choices of TWRP & CWM recovery available on the SD.
So I boot to TWRP and go to Wipe, but this time, do Advanced, and select to wipe all items except external SD. Restart, and same CM boot loop is going on. (I had done the basic Wipe before that)

You should never need to wipe anything other than /data and /cache (/system typically gets wiped automatically (aka reformatted) as part of the process of flashing a new ROM version).

I downloaded the stock rom zip , put it on sdcard, booted to TWRP, didn't do any Wipe but clicked Install, chose that zip, unchecked zip signature verification, swiped to start it, get:
"Failed to retouch '/system/lib/libemoji.so'.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/NookHDplus-stock-2.1.1.-rooted.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
So, any hope for my HD+ ? If eMMC IS hosed as you mention, what causes this? And are there any tricks to UN-Hose it? Or is it now a useless dead tablet? Why would my battery going to zero screw things up so badly?

To flash stock ROM you need CWM version 6.0.2.8 attached at the end of the post I referenced.

If your EMMC is dead, you can try to run CM11 entirely off an SD card -- see https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.
My Hd is one of those that won't reliably boot to sd card. Any possibility for unbricking , Similar to these (though these steps are for nook tablet, not HD)?

That "tool" for unbricking the NT also boots and runs off a SD card.
While it never reliably booted to the cm11 OS on the sdcard, it's been booting okay lately to recovery at least Twrp maybe even cwm , so assuming I can boot to those , again,does that repair option for NT also work for HD+?

The NT unbricking tool only works for the NT.
Assuming your EMMC is not dead, and its factory-installed partition structure is not corrupted or altered, you can accomplish the same end-goal as the NT tool does by re-flashing to stock ROM using the files linked in the post I had referenced in my earlier reply.

Thank you but again , i tried that already and it failed, which is why I was asking if any of those procedures in the links I posted would work, which u already indicated the NT one wouldn't. I've seen various other xda posts talking about either ADB or partitioning or formatting commands. Was just hoping this HD+ wasn't dead and that I could somehow hack this back to life instead of chucking it in the trash....

The stock rom you tried to install was the rooted version that I customized. Try a plain stock rom from that same thread. Try an older version. That error was a common one for some devices.

Will this guide also work on the Nook HD? (Using the equivalent Hummingbird files, of course).
