[Q] E:cant open - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA hows it going,
Its noob time,
I have rooted my phone and have installed CWM/TWRP so i can carry on install roms and testing for my favorite developers.
I have run into a snag...
When i try installing a ZIP from these recovery i get the error "E:Cant open /external_sd/romname.zip (bad) instalation aborted"
I cannot for the life of me find any guides/help from here or google on the query and wondered if anyone has experienced this and what to do? currently my phone is bricked and i am downloading the 2gb :/ stock firmware to odin flash but thats gonna take a few hours, anyone know whats going wrong?
Many thanks
Beer money to the guy/gal who fixes this for me!

HELP!!! Tried to Odin, feel like jumping off a bridge!

Ok, so my bosses give me their new vibrants to upgrade to the leaked 2.2 that's on the site. They really didnt like it so i went to restore from the backup i made with clockworkmod... now one of the phones got stuck when it tries to restore. I tried re-installing 2.1 but i don't know what happened but now i have the at&t logo when it boots! I can't take that back to tmobile and say "oh my phone doesnt work i want a new one" when it has the at&t logo on it lol. does anyone know where i can get a stock boot.bin file? does anyone know how i can restore this phone from factory any other way than going into system recovery and deleting all user data because that didn't work. im stuck and i need to give my boss his phone back before he flips out even more. can someone help me...
maybe i can odin back? but i tried that and it doesn't work... odin installs the older 2.1 i found online, but it won't boot... it just keeps going into recovery.
when i try to restore from clockworkmod it starts restoring but gets stuck on app it gets stuck restoring .pcsync_stream
if anyone can help i'll give my first born your name lol
Did you try the odin instructions I put in the sticky?
If it works, Callip is probably not a name you want to give your kid.

yeah nothing seems to be working. is there any button i can press to get this thing to go back to stock like the iphone has?
i odined what i thought was 2.2 for vibrant but it was a 2.2 for captivate (yeah im an idiot) and thats why im getting the att logo.
does anyone have a pda, csc, modem and pit file for vibrant? maybe that'll work, but just the pda and the pit doesnt seem to work for me.
Did you try repartitioning when you flashed the stock files via odin?
^^ did you look at the post I referenced? It has the files you are asking for.
yeah repartitioning got the at&t logo out... im going to look back at your thread and look for the files you say are on there. btw, thank you guys for your help. ill keep updating this post as i try more things.
now im getting
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid argument)
E:Copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: copy default media content failed.
wtf?
trying to get those files... and i get
Oops! (509)
This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!
LOL im sooo loving life right now
any way for me to recover using my backups? they seem to be getting stuck on certain files and not moving at all.
Sometimes it get's stuck. Don't rush the process. How long have you waited? if it takes more than 20 minutes, its abnormal. If its around 5-10, its typically normal. Can you tell us where it gets stuck at?
.pcsync_stream ... was there for 30 minutes and i just gave up.
dammit... one of the phones is now showing me a cell phone - exclamation mark in a triangle - computer icon. wtf does that mean?
it gets stuck at HALGPS_conf.cfg on the other phone
Ok email me bro [email protected]

Thanks for your time, Thanks to DA-DEVELOPERS you may help me to get back on with my defy ASAP !+!:good::good:
Press and hold Vol- and Power button. When you get to the android with yellow exclamation mark, press Vol- and Vol+ simultaneously and then wipe data/cache.
Eventually, if this doesn't help, you can flash a new stock ROM (just ask if you should flash a particular ROM, before you do something irreversible)
RE
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command or /caller
ipe complete. ..E:can't mount cache:recovery/log
data wipe/factory reset does the same
apply sdcard:update.zip = no such file or directory
E:signature verification failed.. installation aborted.

[Q] Did I brick my S4? Need your help!

Hey!!
thanks in advance for reading my post, I really hope you can help me in some way.
(Sorry for my english)
Well, I rooted my S4 and everything went well. I managed to get the newest Philz Touch + SuperSU on my phone.
Afterwards I wanted to install the new Google Play ROM (4.4.3) from Danvdh. I cleaned up with Philz doing a ''fullwipe'' + ''clean to install a new rom''. Then a problem came up saying: Error 7 or something... Installation Aborted!
Since I did ''clean to install a new rom'' now even my stock rom is gone and I'm pretty much sitting here with an empty phone right? But i cant install another ROM that might install successful, because my phone gets always stuck in the ''Galaxy S4 Bootscreen''. All I can do is getting out the battery to turn it off.
But I can still get into Philz Recovery where I could install a new Rom that might work, but I cant put another ROM .zip to my SD-Card because my computer wont detect my phone since its not getting started and is stuck in the loading screen. Else I would simply put another ROM onto my SD-Card at my PC but my phone doesnt get detected at that point...
Now I tried to install the Stock ROM via Odin (thats what google said might help). But when i tried to flash the md5 ROM Odin just said: FAIL
Im pretty much done with my ideas.. I am really hoping somebody can help me in any way.
Thanks for reading and thanks for any support!
Greets!!!
Re download stock firmware and try again with Odin
Make sure kies isn't running

Good Morning.
make sure youre phone is in download mode when using odin Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button from phone swithed Off
if u still want the 4.4.3 rom redownload it and make sure!!!!!! you have the correct rom for your phone model.
As a solution for your SD not being read by pc. Just remove it and use a Micro SD adaptor a plug it directly to the PC
Or just simply use sideload ... if u search around a bit youll find a guide for Sideload wich is pretty easy IMHO

Error 7 is when you want to flash a rom that is not for your device. So make sure you pick the right rom and that you have the correct recovery for your phone.

N910F using TWRP (TRLTEXX) shows "Error 7" on all ROM flash attempts

As title says, all attempts to flash a custom ROM result in error 7, I have checked that my version of TWRP is up to date and the ROM is for TRLTEXX. I have also tried removing the 'assert' section in `updater-script`, which caused another error where the `update-binary` file cannot be found. Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and how to fix it?

First, if you just bought this phone, what I would do is double check the phone is really 910f. What's it say behind battery? Also boot into download mode, what info does that tell you. When you plug into Odin what model does it say. Reason I say this, I've seen others buy what they thought were F but they were really 910p.
If all the info checks out, I would download twrp again just to make sure you got good file. Downloads can mess up rarely.
Let me know what this tells you.
Had the phone for about a year and a half now, battery cover, behind battery, about page, and download mode all say N910F, the same as the version of TWRP is supposedly for, I have flashed both 3.0.1.0 and 3.0.2.0 of TWRP using Odin with the same result, error 7 on all attempts of installing a ROM. The ROM I'm trying to install is the Resurrection Remix ROM for 6.0.1 TRLTEXX, but others have the same error.

find your firmware make sure its the CORRECT CARRIER AND FIRMWARE
download a bunch of ODin firmwares I had to try different ones because 2 out of 3 I tried FAILED to flash
I dont have my computer with me as I am replying but I think it was ODIN 11 or something I cant be exact im sorry
any way download it unzip it and then put it in a folder on your desktop try doing the AP file FIRST then do all the other ones. this part is a LAST hope. but most times ODIN Fails because the usb cable could be in the wrong usb spot usually ODIN works best with the back USB ports of computers why I have no clue lol
if odin still fails try to make sure you have the correct firmware and if you can actually get in to recovery mode your not that bad but if you cant even access recovery mode (volume down and power and home I belive is the method) than you have a harder brick to unbrick but note7alliance is a really good site it just takes alittle more time for people to respond to your support tickets but other than that it usually gets help and is strcitly note 7 information. sign up for it i did and I never regretted it and I still use my note 7 back from the dead any questions feel free to reply and ill try and help.. PS I do not really read my emails so its the reason I never got back to ya in the first place cause this site didnt really help me as much and I didnt need it after I got my issue resolved
