Question about changing Recovery

Hi, I have a friend who currently has
Android Recovery System <2e> on his droid. Wanting to know if there's a way to change from that to Amons? Also, while using the <2e> any zip he tries to install comes up with the error E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
If he scrolls down to Apply sdcard: update.zip he gets:
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification fialed
Installation aborted.
This happens when trying to open .zip's such as Evil Eris 2.0 or any other zip. I have Amon's recovery and these zips work fine for me.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

was anything changed within the .zip files?... because if so that will cause it. Also i know if you rename the .zip file you will also recieve the problem because they signed with that specific name. Otherwise, i suggest deleting it from you SD and downloading the .zip again and do a wipe data/dalvik and reflash. But remember to do a nand backup! Lemme know what you get....

No files/names have been changed. If I could get Amon's recovery I could mod his phone for him. I have Amon's and do not have this issue. It is prbably something I am not doing due to being unfamiliar with the recovery he has. Basicaly I think all I really need is a way to get his recovery to read Amon's and I'm good.

Are you certain about that, or is that unique to that specific recovery menu?
I rename my update.zip's and ROM's after they've been signed and don't run into issues.

If his phone is rooted just download rom manager from the market, open it, scroll all the way to the bottom and hit flash alternative recovery.
That should do it.

I change the name of update.zip and it always fails to verify.

FRF50->FRF83 manual update failure

I downloaded the update file and rename to update.zip, and I follow every single step correctly, but I still get error, here is the details:
Code:
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("MTD:boot:2392064:a233aa76b83a5efcc03f66c51a418cb15c4d9ab2:2392064:84dfd9df1409e2ff817ad5eb872ed83094742bed")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

What happened?
I took 2 days to search and found nothing.

Need YouTube.apk from Vodafone FRF91 Users

Hello,
today a received an Ota form my Vodafone FRF91 Nexus One. I thing Ota was for upgrading my Nexus to FRG83D (2.2.1).
Installation failed because signature was not valid. This is because i deleted the Youtube.apk using titan backup (this was the only way to update it to version 2.0)
i'd like to know if any FRF91 User can share me his system\app\YouTube.apk
P.s.
Anyone knows if i can download the 2.2.1 update.zip for Vodafone Nexus? After the first failed installation, the Ota message doesn't appear anymore. Also using the "check in" command nothing happens.

I guess that update would be
6fd7cb1179b3.OTA_Passion_Vodafone_Generic_2.18.151 .5_FRG83D-2.15.151.5_R_FRF91_release_signed.zip
?
See
h tt p://dev.chavant.info/android/signed-passion-img-0713_FRF91/system/app/
for the files.

I tried it myself and I fear Facebook.apk worked but not YouTube.apk
6fd7cb1179b3.OTA_Passion_Vodafone_Generic_2.18.151.5_FRG83D-2.15.151.5_R_FRF91_release_signed.zip
is still complaining about a wrong signature of that file.

Just passimg FRG33 to get rid of the Vodafone ROM. That way, you'll get updates fast, also... (will erase data though)

I'm not exactly keen on erasing all data on the phone.
What exactly would the steps be to do that though? (I'm fed up with the late EU-vodaphone-updates)

Pop over to shipped ROM's, download the FRG33 image. Extract it (as it's a zip within a zip) and rename the extracted .zip to passimg.zip, copy it to the root of your SD card. Power the phone on holding Vol-, it will find the file and ask to install. Peasy.

Just for the record:
(in case anyone else with the same issue finds this thread)
I backup up my data with tatanium backup,
then installed passimg FRG33 (US-rom with Android 2.2).
Now it's there, the phone is currently installing all my market-apps
(takes a while), instant root is installed too.
I don't know yet if instant root will work.
Root is required to get all my data back via Titanium Backup.
The over the air update to 2.2.1 is already ready, I clicked
"install later" to let all the market apps be downloaded first.
The non-market apps should come back via Titanium Backup later. (I hope.)

Stock Netflix.apk needed

I'm trying to upgrade my rooted TF101 to 9.2.1.11 and every zipI use complains on an assert failure for /system/app/Netflix.apk. Oddly, I can't get Ti backup to restore it, so I tried downloading it and putting it in that directory. This doesn't work. Does anyone have the stock Netflix.apk they can post so I can move past this? thx!!

Here ya go!
Title says it all.

Thanks! But no cigar!
I tried that, but it gives me the following error when I attempt to apply the zip from the sd card:

Any suggestions out there in the development community? I didn't think that uninstalling Netflix would cause such a hassle later on. Is there a different version of the .apk I can try? Or a different way of installing it (I just copied it over after remounting /system/app as rw).
Alternatively, can I unroot, then download the update, then re-root? Anybody have any practice with that, or will the Netflix.apk package.
Thank you! Have a nice day (or evening).

That wasn't a zip file, it was an apk. And you don't flash those in recovery. Just put it in /data/app directory, then restart the tablet. Or you can try to execute it, and it will automatically install to the appropriate folder.

I solved it!
Yes, I just copied it over using scp (after remounting /system as rw). I'm no noob!
Here's what I did to get it to work.
I unzipped the rooted zip file, edited the updater-script to remove references to Netflix.apk (three of them), then rezipped it up, copied it to the sdcard , rebooted to recovery, then flashed it. Worked! Here's the exact steps took:
On my linux latop:
mkdir /tmp/ics-us-8.6.5.21-to-9.2.1.11-CWM-rooted
cd /tmp/ics-us-8.6.5.21-to-9.2.1.11-CWM-rooted
unzip ~/Download//tmp/ics-us-8.6.5.21-to-9.2.1.11-CWM-rooted.zip
vi ./META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
# /Netflix\.apk finds the lines, I deleted two, and modified the third to remove the reference.
zip -r /tmp/ics-us-8.6.5.21-to-9.2.1.11-CWM-rooted.zip *
scp /tmp/ics-us-8.6.5.21-to-9.2.1.11-CWM-rooted [email protected]:/Removable/MicroSD

Extract it.
There should be another zip in there. That's the one to flash.

Hi, could you please tell me where can i find a guide on how to flash my device with JB software. I'm in Europe,with EU TF300.
EDIT: I DID THAT:
Finally found a workaround for the "not finding any update".
1: download the dlpkgfile and command file found here on the forum.
2: use a file manager with root permissions (eg:es file explorer)
3: copy the dlpkgfile to /cache and the command file to /cache/recovery.
4: temp unroot with the Voodoo app
5: restore original build.prop
6: reboot in recovery (hold power + volume down) untill the white text appears telling you to press volume up to enter recovery
7: auto installs
8: reboot + reroot with the voodoo app
Failed after step 7.
Same way as with Official automatic update which failed and I am unable to repeat it... please help

The log file says:
