Hello!
I have the same issue with my Samsung S5690 Galaxy Xcover.
I accidentaly deleted a launch screen(home screene) with titanium backup on a rooted device. After that I rebooted for some stupid reason and it didn't go past the flashing samsung logo. After that I made a factory reset and tried to reboot again. This time it looked like I was saved but at the end it was only a black screen with only the top bar showing - where it displays the time, battery and what you can pull down with your finger to reveal different toggles for wifi, gps ect.
I tried the zip file that was made for pepo36 by crackeron.
I booted to recovery mode, made a cache wipe and a factory reset and executed the zip file only to find this error:
--Install /sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted
I have also tried installing a whole rom with the same message.
Any advise or ways to fix this issue? I have tried everything in my know how and without any effect.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hei!
I can't believe this! It worked!
I also formated my sd card before tho. I don't know if that contributed to anything, but as for now - my phone looks like a phone again.
Thank you very much

Because this is an flashable launcher (and not an APK) it must be made specifically for your phone otherwise you badly mess the ROM. By now reinstall the rom from begining.

with "aply update from sdcard" from stock recovery you can install only oficial updates not a custom .zip.
my advice is to flash again the stock sbf or make some search for a custom sbf for your pfone

Thanks for looking into it. I SBFd it. Actually it's chinese ROM & not so popular so was difficult to download. But I managed it.
And good lesson & learning experience for me, Now I will be more careful while playing with my Droid 3.

Hi, the launcher may be device dependant. it probably doesn't work for your device. Try showing the flashable zip to other people who have your device, they'll be able to help you with what we've done here
Edit: It could be update binary that is incompatible with your recovery also. The one used here is a few years old and probably obsolete. Try using one that you find in flashable zips that work on your own device You may need to re-write the update script to accord with the binary, but it's an easy job, and if you're new to this, it's the first thing to learn about fiddling android

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

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,

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

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?

No Nandroid backup option

hey guys.
i searched the forums, maybe not hard enough but here goes.
forgot when i rooted the phone, maybe in november. have rom manager, titanium manager, etc...havent put any roms yet but when I go into recovery, i have no option to nandroid backup.
the only four options i have are:reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
i also have a
E: cant open /cache/update.zoip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
while im in recovery. any help would be appreciated!
You need to install Clockwork in the Rom Manager App. After that, reboot into recovery and click reinstall packages (sometimes it takes a few times of clicking reinstall packages).
thanks. i updated rom manager and after a few tries installing packages, was finally successful!
thanks

that update.zip is nowhere in the card as far as I can see... what is that file about? where I can find it? maybe was created when I tried to root the phone (DEfy) z4root didnt work and I finally used superone click... is that update file created by the superoneclick??

[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.

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

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 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.

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!

[Q] Please help me, error while flashing

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
''Finding update package
Installing update
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted"
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?
Thank you
ics
The entire process

if try Wipe Dalvik Cache:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

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"
What the f.....?

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!
