Ok, run down;
I rooted my SGII, CWM was working.
I got RomManager Pro, I followed the instructions to install CyanogenMod.
I got the error:
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
I couldn't find a good suggestion about what to do, some people suggested flashing and going the wipe route.
I followed the instructions here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411 telling me to;
"Harder way:
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)"
After I installed the rom .zip file I restarted and I am stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-19100 screen with the yellow triangle and exclamation mark.
Any suggestions would be extremely welcome. Kind of freaking out.
I had the same. I removed battery and then replaced it and pressed up+home+power to boot into recovery and install back up.

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

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

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!
i finally rooted my phone after some pain because of BL7.
installed 2nd init 1.4.2
wiped data in custom recovery,
then 'select zip from sd card' and selected the WIUI zip, it started installing and the aborted;
log goes like this:
(don't have full log of wipe, just the ending of it)

i downloaded this: "v4 (ICS) 2.8.2+ for Defy/Defy+ with GB kernel
Kernel is not included.
" from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
followed what i can from this:
"
Installation GUIDE: for GB and ICS version
1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2
2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)
3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.
4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery(had to select Custom recovery since those options did not exist, i had to choose between stock and custom). Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.
5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip(selected "WIUI_v4_DefyPlus_2_8_2.zip" being the zip i downloaded and put on the sd card) and let it finish.
(never got here)6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!
(If you are stuck on boot (Motorola logo), do 4th and 6th point again.)
7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu
8. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery"
how can i fix this? thanks ahead.
Hi,
so you got to step 5?
(5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip(selected "WIUI_v4_DefyPlus_2_8_2.zip" being the zip i downloaded and put on the sd card) and let it finish.)
And btw. do you have a Defy Plus or a normal Defy?
Are you sure you have the GB kernel?

the file "WIUI_v4_DefyPlus_2_8_2.zip" which is called "v4 (ICS) 2.8.2+ for Defy/Defy+ with GB kernel
Kernel is not included." on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
thanks ahead.
Bump.
please help!!! if you look at my threads you'll see I've been planning to install a custom ROM for ages.
please.
solved, the installation method given by any guide (stickied guides, and big custom ROM threads) didn't suit my Defy+ with bl7 (probable cause of the problem) in this forum.
only thanks to this guy (don't know how i missed this thread when searching)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23614056&postcount=4
my advice, add this little guide to your post for people with Defy+ with BL7 (my ****ed up situation) if you're a ROM Developer.
Guys i have the same problem but its after installation ... I am stuck at the google logo... I waited for like 30 minutes still no change.. I clearly did do all the swiping i.e dalvik cache swipe after installation...
Hi, i recently flashed my defy with MIUI V4 from stock ROM.Now i can't get into CWM by pressing power button and volume + button.Actually i'm getting into Android System Recovery and there's some Error shows up
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log.
What should i do?i want to flash Cynogen 7 because in MIUI V4 tether doesn't work.
Can i use the Android system recovery wipe data/factory reset to wipe current ROM and flash new?
Sorry for my bad English
Well, i can't help on that error, maybe someone else can). But with android system recovery you mean the stock recovery!? (the one with an exclamation point in an triangle and droid symbol - probably recovery <3e>) From here you can't flash unofficial roms (see documentation thats widely available) but you can flash the official build and then use famaroot + 2ndinit resp. flash those 2 builds (check at least: guide and wiki) to achieve same result and then you can enter 2ndinitdefy bootloader/recovery menu. Now you can wipe and install your rom (caution: if you fully wipe don't reboot till some recovery is on board, you might use safewipe, and check you meet all requirements for your rom - some need preinstalls)
Thanks dude.I'll try those!
I am new here and, although I have searched existing threads for this old phone, I have been unable to overcome what I guess is a simple problem for some of you clever people out there . . .
Having rooted the phone, I then followed explicitly what I took to be straightforward instructions from other posts here - thus:
1. Switch on and await blue LED
2. Press volume down to enter Android Boot Menu (v 1.1.8-jordan)
3. Recovery
4. Custom Recovery > Cyanogen Defy Recovery (v 5.0.3.1-jordan)
5. Wipe Data / Factory Reset
6. Wipe Cache Partition
7. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
8. Install zip from SD card (cm7-20130301-NIGHTLY-jordan_plus)
9. Toggle signature verification to Disabled
10. Toggle script asserts to Disabled
11. Choose zip from SD card
12. Apply zip from SD card
13. Reboot
14. Hangs at M logo
Tried with and without step 10.
The last STABLE jordan plus is nowhere to be found, so I tried the only two available nightlies.
I will be ever so grateful if someone can tell please me what I am doing wrong, and what I should do to complete the boot up. I am truly a beginner on this Android and CM stuff, so please be gentle. It is step-by-step guidance that I need please.
Thanks in anticipation . . .
