Help needed please!
I'm trying to install Dexters Mod update and I keep getting the same results, it reads:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Formatting misc...
I've formatted my SD card. I've tried renaming the file with a capital U, lowercase u, etc. I've wiped the unit....nothing works.
My SD card worked fine when I installed the Elocity update from their website.
What am I doing wrong? I really want to get that Marketplace installed....
Thanks for your help!
Did you do it from Recovery menu? It's necessary.
elocity

Yes, I did it from the System Update option which puts the unit into the recovery menu. That's the correct way, yes?
It looks like all the Mod files from this site are damaged or corrupted...? I run a test on the download on my computer and there appears to be issues with the download. Has anyone else had this problem???
Any help is greatly appricated. Thanks!
I had trouble with the install also: i was able to enter the recovery mode but it would recognize the update then i would see the android logo and box with arrow then nothing from there this happened several times. I left the card in the unit turned it off then back on , then went to the system update and chose to update , which it did and rebooted then was locked in an Elocity loop. I reset the unit and the market and everything was there. I might of been close to bricking it ,but it works now. Be careful

Sounds like your downloaded zip file was corrupted - this happens often. Try downloading it again and then try to install after that.

This is quite normal. boot loop happens to 90% of users. Its well documented in the development thread. The Android logo you saw is also expected. From there, you're supposed to hit the Menu soft key and use the other soft keys to navigate the recovery console. Also well documented in the development thread.

Thanks sagggas. I've tried to download it about 20 times and I get the same problem. When I run a test on the downloaded zip file my computer says it may be corrupted or incomplete. I don't get it. It's as if the something is wrong with the file, but others seem to have made it work. Any suggestions please??? I'm almost ready to get rid of this device....but since this is the only problem I've had I'm torn!

GetRight Download Manager
Hi
This reminds of a problem I had downloading a large software program a while back. Many people were having the same problem with corrupt files. The company recommended using a download manager called GetRight.
It worked great! It is free to use and you can get it at:
http://getright.com/get.html
Let us know if it works for you.

Jazzbone, that download manager worked perfectly! Once I was able to download the Dexter Mod without it getting corrupted the install went very smoothly.
Thank you sooo much for that suggestion! I can't wait to see what this tablet can do now.
Having the same problem. I did check out the website, but I saw nothing for Android,

The getright manager is software for your PC to help you download large files from the internet. In our case, the functionality would then allow us to copy the newly downloaded file (apparently with a lower frequency of corruption) from our PC to our SD cards for use in our Android devices.
Hi, I wanted to flash mikegapinski's ICS.
I flashed it through recovery update package, but the device stays on boot. So I tried fastboot, and got error 'data too large'.
I've got 150mb system partition (changed its size with Mur4ik's Swift Bootloader Tools some time ago). But right now when I want to increase its size, it doesn't.
I tried many sizes, none has worked.
When I'm using Mur4ik's program, when I hit 'Flash..' I get 'Done' message. Everything's ok, but when I'm trying to flash new rom, I get error "(remote: data too large)". Every time.
When wiping my phone, I get bad block errors. So i tried to fix them, but I haven't found any good solution for me.
Right now I'm stuck with smaller roms, and can't try anything new.
If any of you has any advice for me, I would be grateful.
I hope you can understand me, I'm not native english speaker.
Did you reboot after you flashed the new bootloader?
You need to reboot back to fastboot after you change the sizes
Sent from my GT540 ICS
Yes, I did.
Though, I tried doing it without reboot to see if it helps. But normally I always rebooted.
I just can't get it to work....
So, does anyone knows some alternative way to change system partition size?

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366855
I tried Mur4ik's program but it didn't exactly work. I needed to flash the 'mbn' file by typing 'fastboot flash APPSBL <mbn filename>' on fastboot. The thread linked above contains a directory of mbn files and instructions for flashing them.
Thanks a lot!
I will try it when I get back. I hope that will work.

It works!
I owe you

had the same issue and used fastboot like you said and its fixed.so.. thanks because I Really got annoyed from "insufficient storage"
RE
Mur4ik's doesn't work with every gt540 i think it is problem with fastboot versions,and bad block messages don't worry about them it will skip that blocks because there are two reasons,either they are system locked or fabric marked as bad but fastboot tries to write it.....

Thanks, yeah I found a thread explaining how to change the sizes using fastboot

I then managed to install the latest edition and HOPEFULLY my phone is fixed.
- I think everything is fine. Just a warning to others, the previous version, I used 160MB as a system partition, and it all worked fine and randomly I got this error saying my USB card was damaged. I checked using another phone and it wasn't and so proceeded to reset the ROM factory settings. This worked but on the SECOND reboot I couldn't open any application. I then tried rebooting a third time and it kept hanging at the boot animation and playing the sound over again lol. Anyhow, seems to work fine this time round (after reflashing).
Please help I have bricked my A500. I tried hard resetting reformatting the data with a usb keyboard. I tried flashing the update.zip using method 2 but i get a warning saying blob package not official and then boot verified failed in red. Where do I go from here.
So that I can understand where you are at, what did you do that led to your tablet being "bricked?"

Hello. First of all: I've tried for 6 hours to figure this one out, this is my last resort, and I hope you can help me.
I've got a major problem. What happened is that I was gonna flash CM 10.1. I wiped cache and all that, flashed the CM.zip, and it failed half way. This resulted in me getting stuck where I am now.
I've found numerous guides, but the problem is, when I download the files, I dont get a .tar or md5.tar(?) file, I only get the folders, like system etc. Ive tried every link Ive found, and the same happens. No file capable of being selected in Odin.
Could any of you, please direct me to where I can download the files needed to flash via Odin? I'm really desperate and tired.

That Could be a problem with Your computer then.. When U start downloading the Firmware File what is the name that it shows while it is getting downloaded. It coudl be that there is some Software In your system that automatically extracts the file once downloaded
download a stock firmware from the development forum and try a different computer with odin
I figured out what was wrong. Winrar automatically extracted all directories. Unfortunatly, I flashed again, but rendered the device unbootable. I have no idea what happened. Will get a new one on my insurance.
Thanks for your help guys. Much appreciated.
Hi, everyone I tried to flash a new recovery on X00T but before I did this I Wiped all the data except internal storage. I Flashed the new recovery (completely forget about there being no OS) I rebooted to recovery and ignored the no OS message as the device rebooted I came on a black screen even the fast boot mode screen was black. I had no idea what to do so I tried to install the old TWRP from power shell/Adl so I could have a recovery and then install Custom rom again from recovery.
But there when I try to flash a file with command
-> Fastboot flash Recovery ....(..= file name)
It is shown completed on pc but on android even after rebooting I can't get anything except the black screen. This is what I get when I enter the following commands
-> fastboot devices
My devices number is shown
but if I type.
-> adl devices
My device is not shown.
But when I press the recovery buttons on device adl devices Is able to recognise device as a recovery screen device.
And the extra bonus on this is when I try to flash rom or fimware from adl. It says unable to read zip file.
So can anyone tell me if there is a way to fix this unable to read zip file problem. (I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers from device manager & tried installing 64 bit files also)
Is there a command to flash rom from recovery. Or any way to fix this black screen
Thanks to everyone for reading any advice would be really helpful at this time.

I am not sure if posting external links (except hosting sites) is permitted. A simple google search or search within XDA will give you the results. In case you face difficulty, PM me.
Try to use this adb
If it still doesn't get detected, maybe use usb hub.
I wrote a thread guiding people on how to install stuff and my experience (issues) that is similar to yours. Not sure if my thread will help ya though

Bro tried as you said but didn't worked but finally found a solution. Now device is on and working again.
If anyone else face this issue I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...uide-revert-to-stock-rom-lock-t3798420/page46
It worked on my phone it is on again. Will have to root again but learned my lesson will never try new twrp when there is no os installed. :laugh:
thanks you Tianhe and Vysair for your advice for solving the issue.
