[HTC EVO 3D] AssassinsLament:
First off, who really cares about "Backup Naowz!" being an issue but you? I mean seriously, you're just trolling. So do you go tell people they can't speak improper english because you don't like it? Come on. We do this for free, for fun. If you paid us to make this recovery for you, then sure, if what you want is Backup Now!, we can do that for you. But you are using it for free. At least feel grateful of what we've done as a hobby for everyone instead of nitpicking 10+ issues on the smallest inaccuracies that go against your perfect world. Seriously, I'm sure others might like the "Backup Naowz!". Anyways, if you have any suggestion or comments, feel free to do it in our thread, instead of drawing up 10+ issues that are more like "hey can you add this for me? do this for me? change this for me?" issues.

And now you go and try to make it seem like we don't care about helping our users? Nice try.
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
Here's the zip that was giving me the sideload errors.

I don't see any issues with the updater-script and the updater-binary is ver 3.
[HTC EVO 3D] -shift-:
i completely agree with polish and consistency portraying professionalism, and we're glad for and always open to suggestions. however, in this case, we purposely used that terminology. we, as teamwin, like to have fun with our projects. some of them are very serious (wimax, hdmwin, kernel manager). others are a bit more on the entertaining side (theninjatweeter, twinpic 3d). with the recovery, we wanted to do something that stood apart from the rest. we do things that reflect our personality as a team.

as for the sideload issues that many are experiencing, we've discussed many times in our threads as well as on twitter and even google+; it is an issue with an outdated updater-binary script. update the scripts, no more sideload errors.

to come out and say we're not willing to listen to suggestions seems a bit presumptuous, even dangerous, when the issues you put on our github were more along the lines of requests.
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
I apparently didn't realize that your thread was the official authoritative record for bug tracking. As your code is on github I thought the issue/request tracking would be a far better medium to track these. Hence why github has this feature ;) Interestingly enough 4 of the 10 features/bugs you implemented in your 1.3 TWRP release were reported by me at your github issue repo so apparently this is quite effective :)

Don't worry about the number of issues/requests out there or who put them in. I've got over 250+ issues/requests reported on Synergy and the thing went gold yesterday. Filter your issues/requests by priority and address them top down from highest first. Some you'll never get to and that's fine :).

Again, all I want to provide is a better experience for my users who I can hopefully promote to use TWRP. Please don't shoot the messenger.
[HTC EVO 3D] AssassinsLament:
Again, I don't mind real issues... That's not my point. My point is a lot of your so called bugs or issues are the way we cosmetically chose to do it. Your issues are more so opinions, and wish lists. There is a place for opinions, and a place for real bugs. That's all I am saying.

It would be on the same level as me using your bug/issue space to say "hey i don't like that color.", "hey, can you take off myn from everywhere in your rom, I like it without?" <--- these are NOT issues. These are just what I would like/want. Do you understand?

Anyhow, I am looking into your script. Sadly we do not have any documentation of the differences between api's but, I will try to figure it out. It looks simple enough, so it should work. I'll let you know.
[HTC EVO 3D] Slatter39:
Its always good to have decent dialogue. Glad as good developers, you guys are able to resolve this. Kudos to Myn, Assasins and his team for not making this anything than it is. I hope as great developers we can accept facts and work together. Gracias.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
I got that error when I flashed the Su .zip, then I read that you gotta flash it twice for it to take. So I flashed it the first time, and I got the error, then i tried flashing again right after the first flash, and i got no error. Everything worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
i got the error every time i tried to install the superuser zip. tried twice, rebooted, same thing. eventually i just ignored it and continued. everything seems to work including apps that request superuser access. i guess it's OK?

i don't know anything about the process here. they guys that do, how about a fix? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] AssassinsLament:
Ok, After some extensive code browsing and testing, I think I found the reasons.

Ok, some back ground:

Each flashable zip, contains this folder:

/META-INF/com/google/android/

In edify scripting, inside it, you will have two files:

update-binary
updater-script

one is an executable binary, the other is just a plain text script.

Ok so now here comes the issue(s). Each update-binary can have it's own api essentially, based upon what device it was compiled for. Following still? Ok, so as an example, myn's FORMAT-ALL.zip above, is definitely edify, and most likely api 2, but the problem is that it does not have EXT4 file system built into it. (it as in the update-binary). Once you press flash zip, the recovery hands the zip off to update-binary, and update-binary does it's work. If the update-binary does not support a command or file system, it will error out. Most likely sideload error, as that's the default error. But you can see it output into the recovery log. You can verify this by running myn's zip above and checking recovery.log. It will say that ext4 is not a supported file system. Not supported, as in the update-binary. Twrp definitely supports ext4. So most likely, myn's update-binary was compiled for an MTD yaffs2 only device. EVO4G maybe?

Any how, to fix it, it's as simple as changing the update-binary to one that supports ext4 and EMMC for it to work on the EVO3D. I will attach one below for you guys. Hopefully that clears up things. I wasn't aware of all this until I actually went through the code.

Hope that clears things up!

P.S. if you do see an error, just check the recovery.log in /tmp/recovery.log
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
Cool,thx

brought to you by the little voices in my head
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
dude, you are awesome. now i can fix my scripts. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
ok, that didnt work. Assasin, i update to the binary you posted but im still getting a sideload error. care to take a look at it and tell me why?
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
myn, i bet you are only getting this immediately upon starting format of CACHE arent you? my script is as well. but then again sometimes it works fine
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
Yup, The error is reported after I attempt to format cache.

ui_print("::: Formatting CACHE");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25");
[HTC EVO 3D] AssassinsLament:
I got that too, if you look in the log, some how it wasn't successful in formatting cache. If you remove cache from the script, no errors. I suggest formatting cache in twrp advanced menu-> format menu. Check the log after wards and you will see it formatted fine. So could be the update-binary. One of these days I will compile an update binary with better support for commands. It's kinda cool how it works, it's like a little brother to the recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
Thanks. That would be great if we could get an updated update-binary :)
[HTC EVO 3D] toastcfh:
moar advice

if u dont wanna wait, u can compile it urself source is as always open and at android.kernel.org :) (will require the latest winrar)
[HTC EVO 3D] Papichulo06:
You actually DON'T have flash the SU file. That's only if you want the original ROM that the phone came with to have the super user program. I had the same error with the same file and I just ended up flashing a custom rom since the custom rom has the super user app in it anyways. I just rebooted and flashed a rom and the error didn't come back up.

Try it.
[HTC EVO 3D] jramz:
Perhaps you could provide a link so that the nice "devs" can do so
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
You have to have it if you wan't to back everything up before changing roms... anyone have a working su? Ive tried restarting and flashing 4 times in a row.

Edit: Decided to work after the 4th reboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] Icepick127001:
I'm going to post this because I was pulling my hair out trying to find the solution. I got this error message while installing the su (root) zip file. After reading this thread I learned that someone else got past this error by reinstalling the su file twice. In my case I had to keep reinstalling it and it finally worked after the fourth time. If you're getting this then just keep trying and eventually it will take.
[HTC EVO 3D] Papichulo06:
What is it that you're trying to back up?
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
It is kind of weird how inconsistent this error is with the binaries.

Just the other day I ran t3's superwipe script and it ran flawlessly over and over again. Today it won't stop spitting out the Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 1).

No matter what I do. So weird. Inconsistency blows. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
if you've compiled aosp or cm7, it was compiled along with everything else but named "updater" instead of "update-binary".

./out/target/product/crespo4g/system/bin/updater

obviously the product would change depending on which device is being compiled.

edit: build/tools/device/mkrecoveryzip.sh seems to be where some magic happens, like moving the updater binary from system/bin/updater and rename to $SCRIPT_DIR/updater-binary
[HTC EVO 3D] puertoblack2003:
after using snergy superwipe i'm getting this error when flashing a rom
[HTC EVO 3D] qv775219:
Careful with this wipe, I just used it and it thrashed my Data Partitions. I had to Nandroid to get them back.
[HTC EVO 3D] HiddenKnight:
Ok, so I lost. I have a rom, tried to port, and i go to install, and i get this error:

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(status 0)

Tried both on cwm and twrp. I even recopied to sd. Where else does my problem lie?
[HTC EVO 3D] qv775219:
Yea, same issue here. I think it has something to do with the ext4. Been working on correcting the issue. Either the update binanry needs to be modified or the recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] Just_s:
I was attempting to get this to work with DTa2sd. I was receiving the "sideload" error

E: error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 2

when flashing in TWRP, so I replaced the update-binary with the one AssassinsLament posted and now I get

mount() expects 4 args, got 3
E:Error in /sdcard/james-data-050111-signed.zip (Status 7)

Was I also supposed to make changes to the updater-script?

The original zip and the one with the update-binary replaced attached.

EDIT: I rebooted recovery and went back to the original zip and it installed without issue. I had tried it at least a dozen times on multiple ROMs receiving the sideload error every time. Strange.
[HTC EVO 3D] gadgetdaddy:
I'm getting the E: Can't open /tmp/sideload/package.zip (bad)

I've got Evo 3d HTC unlocked, hb 1.50, Scott's CleanROM 2.7, have been trying every which way I could think of to get back to the stock RUU 2.08.651.2 in zip form grabbed from goo-insideme, but just keep getting this error.

I have no problems flashing between Custom ROM's but just keep getting this error when attempting to flash to the stock zip file.

I've got file PG86IMG.zip

I've looked inside the zip and there is no directories at all.

I've verified md5 and created md5 verification file. It's good. BUT, when I verify with Alien verifier the verified file ends up being different.

When I go to force md5 verification it fails and says does not match.

I check via pc and verify and is good on both.

I'm going crazy. Been working on this for days now.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
PG86IMG.zip is flashed in the bootloader itself, not recovery. It works automatically, just place the zip on your sd base (not in a folder) and reboot into bootloader. Then follow prompts.

My burning question though is WHY are you trying to go back to stock???
[HTC EVO 3D] gadgetdaddy:
Because can not get wifi tether working. Have tried everything that has been recommended, but can not get it to work. Trying to connect to a Macbook, PC and xbox. Acts like it's connecting then never does. WiFi Tethering starts with no issues.

So, want to start from scratch, and fresh.

Tried installing from bootloader, but it does not not load. It loads, but then does not run.

Any idea's?

Again, I have Evo 3d with bootloader 1.50, used htc unlock with s-on :-(

Requires to flash roms via fastboot into recovery.

Which I'm using twrp 1.1.1

Thanks for any replies and help.

EDIT:

I found out the issue.

thanks for your help. As you stated can not flash the stock ruu zip via recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] ItzCrooK2UxD:
SO what was the issue...I too have this problem and I am trying to go back stock...any help would be awesome
[HTC EVO 3D] qv775219:
It's a problem with the updater script. Ask the dev of the rom to correct it or try another updater script like from cm.
[HTC EVO 3D] tateo78:
would you please share how you solved your issue, i'm going crazy w/ this same issue and conditions
[HTC EVO 3D] nightcrawler77:
Hey guys,

I had a similar problem when trying to flash my Nexus s with CyberGR mod.

Tried pretty much everything from trying to wipe system/dalvik/cache/factory reset and also disabled signature check.

Nothing really happened, i kept getting the error again.

Then i had flashed the recovery image (had a TWRP 2.0 running... changed it to CWM) and then the flash went on just fine.

So my guess is that this something to do with the recovery ROM. I would want to ensure that the recovery image used by the dev and mentioned in the install instructions be used.

Hope this helps.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wiredliving:
Anyone had success in doing this?

I've created 2 different gold cards using this Gold Card Tool

http://www.vorbeth.co.uk/downloads/

I've downloaded the rom

RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed

Extracted the rom, renamed to PG41IMG.zip and copied onto the gold card.

Booted into fastboot, after copying & checking the zip - i still get a

CID Incorrect - Update Failed!

Am i missing something?

I need to upgrade from 1.48.707.3 so i can S-OFF (as revolutionary doesn't work on 1.48.707.3)

UPDATED:

Looks like the problem was the CID extracted by vorbeth's PC tool - it doesn't grab mmc2 (only 0/1) - and mmc2 on the flyer is the one you need!

So for others trying to upgrade to WWE - use the goldcard helper found in market to grab the right CID - using that successfully allowed me to create a working Gold card - following the steps here.

Then its a matter of booting into hboot/fastboot and it will verify and start flashing the updated rom.

Then run rev for s-off goodness!

Thanks to all who helped :) and of course the devs that has made s-off possible. Already donated 20 Euro's for their efforts
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] habibas:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Aztriltus:
I thought someone who described the complete steps managed to do it? Hmm...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] i00:
Gold card doesn't work ... Root it (instructions at http://revolutionary.io) then install your choice of stock ROMs .. or a custom one ... some will be coming soon...

Kris
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NerdDoctor2T:
hi pals,

as you seen in the at least s-off thread in the developers forum you can get a goldcard !

it works. yesterday i flashed my o2 flyer with the unbranded rom.

all you need to do is make a goldcard, but be sure as you ask for the cid to ask for device mmc2 !!!! this is the sd card you inserted in your device.

then download the pg41img.zip at the s-off thread. and follow their instructions and you´re good to go.

btw thanks a lot at the guys in the developers forum.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cyko:
Good advice from NerdDoctor2T. Other people telling you to revolutionary first do not understand that sometimes you can't revolutionary with without upgrading the ROM.

This post and this post might help.

It worked for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NerdDoctor2T:
hi cyko,

you did everything right. but you need to boot to hboot, with the goldcard sd inserted and the image of the rom copied to your sd card. then in hboot wait a second and the goldcard is starting the flashing process.

you know how to boot in hboot ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cyko:
Yeah, I kept going into the hboot screen and would get that little flash where it was checking for the image file and it didn't seem to take, then on the 3rd try it just started going.... strange... but it all ended up working fine.

Thanks for checking.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wiredliving:
I created the goldcard no problem.

hboot starts flashing - but after loading/checking - i get the CID error.

What tool did you use to create your Goldcard - and what type of microSD card did you used (i tried a 1GB & 8GB sandisk - no luck
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NerdDoctor2T:
i did use a 2 gb kingston card. when you get an cid error, check if you asked for the mmc2 device cid. because on mine i checked mmc0 and thats the internal flash, so i did mmc2. and thats the cid for the sd card and than it was functioning.

tool for the goldcard. i dont remember the name, because i took it out of the s-off thread in the developers forum.

btw thanks again dev guys. you are great.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wiredliving:
Ok looks like the goldcard tool i used couldn't find the correct CID - (would only find 1 - the second would fail - and compared to the goldcard app from the market - it looks like it was the cid of the internal SD!!)

Just generated a goldcard with the second number using the manual method described here.

And am currently in HBOOT and it's passed the CID check and Flashing..

WOOOT!

I can feel S-OFF coming shortly :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Laleschland:
htboot =(

so i've done everything:

making the goldcard

extracted the .zip file.

moved it to the goldcard

restartet flyer with fastboot on....and now my realy newbe question...

how do i get to hboot?

Power on and volume down?

tanks for ur help

Well, since we have achieved the ability to change our splash screens via fastboot and nbimg (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193747), I figured i'd start a "Post your splash screen" thread like many other devices have in their respective subforum.

TIP: Please don't post images smaller than 960x540, as that is the resolution of our device.

TIP2: Stop requesting custom splashs from people if the image you have is lesser than 960x540.

I see the images are smaller than 960x540, did you resize these images, because, if you used a lower resolution size for the .img, it will not work on our device.
