Have CWM v3.1.0.1 installed and can boot just fine but when I install the new CWM, I get "E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)"

This happens with any zip file I'm installing. I get "E:Can't open /sdcard/*.zip (bad)"

I thought maybe I had a bad download so I downloaded and re-downloaded the zip files. Nothing.

I've Rooted using One Click Universal root v4 and during the root process installed CWM 3.1.0.1. No problems. All worked fine.

Was thinking my sdcard might be the problem so I installed on my PC brk's Universal root toolkit v7.1 and tried to use NVflash on Revolver and Prime 2.0.3. Well it just sits there for an hour hung about 30% into it.

Will try brk's Universal root toolkit and attempt recovery install.

Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe try to format your micro sd card again using the pc.

sdformatter is a good program.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sytech55:
Well I fired up, brk's Universal root toolkit v7.1 and ran the restore recovery and then installed Prime v2.0.1 with success. Installed using NVflash option.

After going through reboots to ensure Prime installed (which looks really good), I decided to try to install the Prime v2.0.3 patch (zip file) using the updated CWM 3.2.0.1.

Well, that didn't work. Got the same error, "E:Can't open /sdcard/*.zip (bad)".

Can't figure this out. Never had this problem before.

Maybe the next course of action is the formatting of the sdcard.

Doesn't the tablet format the card? Or do you recommend using this, sdformatter?

Have exactly same problem, it seem like problem somewhere in CWM 3.1.0.1

In details:

Had rooted 8.5.6.13 with Brk.root.toolkit.v7.1 (that one includes CWM 3.1.0.1),

Put cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip in root of MicroSD.

Loaded in CWM , try to update to 3.2.01 (selected install zip from SDcard) -> got "E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)"

Downloaded CWM-ready images from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334673

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341533

Both installed OK (yes, with same CWM 3.1.0.1 !),

Another attempt to update CWM (now on 8.5.6.19)->"E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)"

Checked root->root disappeared (do not know why), rooted 8.5.6.19 again with Brk.root.toolkit.v7.1,

Another attempt to update CWM->"E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)"

Got another 512MB MicroSD, formatted in FAT 32 (on PC ), put cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip in root of MicroSD.

Another attempt to update CWM->"E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)"

Formatted it in FAT (on PC ), put cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip in root of MicroSD.

Another attempt to update CWM->"E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)"

Looks like I am stuck on CWM 3.1.0.1 with no chances to update in future, any suggestions would be appreciated.

P.S. MD5 of cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip is correct. Transformer of WW version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Hi - Here's some things to check:

1) A note from the original post(s) on cwm-3101/3202 in the dev forum:

Originally Posted by Warboy

Also I would really Install Updates from Internal Storage, Install Updates from SdCard that would be awesome if you 2 guys could do that lol
It does skip internal media unless you put a file called eraseData into the clockworkmod folder on your MicroSD card.

So make sure you've got no file on the MicroSD called eraseData.

2) Have you check the md5sum? Here are the details:

Download

3.2.0.1 roach-tf101-r1

MD5: b28dca7b9dce48627e5e849586f633d1

If you don't know how to do that, then you could download an md5sum verify program for windows if you use it from somewhere, and check the zip file against the md5sum below it, or if you use linux, then just do "$ md5sum 3.2.0.1* and compare it to the md5sum above.

3) I'm not recalling the syntax of cwm errors, but it looks like "E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)" is hopefully where "E" means error, and /sdcard really means /Removable/MicroSD/, which would at least stick you in the right area.

4) Make sure you can unzip this file using 'unzip'/7zip/windows unzip/' or whatever on your PC before you start all this. If you can't unzip it there, then you can't unzip it on the TF. You'll get an error if it won't unzip.

SO: Just make sure you have 1 & 2 & 4 right first and then just for the heck of it rename the long filename to something smaller like cwm3201.zip and put it on a) the microsd and b) /sdcard, and try it again using that name.

Good luck -
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lechaxda-developers:
Many thanks for your help,

I have stepped again through points above:

1.I did not found any eraseData file neither on MicroSD nor on Internal memory(/,/data,/system) (checked this with RootExplorer), actually I do not completely understood where to search: clockworkmod folder does not exists on those locations.

2.As i wrote, I have checked MD 5, in any case redownloaded file, checked MD5 again: to be precise- MD5 for zip: MD5 (cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip) = f71f9b672396be5e494b3d355ed21c9a

MD5 for content (i.e extracted zip): MD5 (cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1) = b28dca7b9dce48627e5e849586f633d1

3.” E:Can't open /sdcard/cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip (bad)" is exact error message, as far as I can see, /sdcard here is really /Removable/MicroSD/ (I can see folders structure and update file self than I have to select it from CWM), have no idea about E, did not found any documentation on CWM error codes.

4.I can unzip just normally (see 2.)

5. Put cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip in /sdcard (i.e root of visible internal memory) seems to have no effect: CWM does not see files on /sdcard (or I did not found a way to make CWM search there).

6.Renamed cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip to cwmupdate.zip, put into root of MicroSD. Result you can see on screenshot below.

Has anybody other ideas ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Are you choosing "apply update from sdcard" or "install zip from sdcard"?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lechaxda-developers:
install zip from sdcard,

Should i rename cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip tj update.zip and try another option?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
No "install zip from sdcard is correct" shouldn't have to rename the zip at all.

CWM only read from micro sdcard not internal sdcard that's why you can't see it there.

Have you tried Gnufabio RecoveryInstaller? It install the newer CWM IIRC.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I think the idea above this is a good one for a first try at this point.

Also: I reread the original post and see that obviously cwm finds the file, attempts to or succeeds in opening it, and then shouts "bad". I see you tried unzipping from the PC, and all the rest.

I wonder if this could somehow be a permissions error and if somehow there are no meaningful permissions either on the sdcard mount (just run $mount in a terminal emulator or adb to see what they are). I'm guessing that well, it's a zip file, so no matter what else cwm must do, it has to unzip the thing and extract the data to someplace. I'd have to go stare at the github code to figure out where that place is, but the target "could" be mounted r/o. It seems like the target can't be the sdcard or you're never be able to write the zip there in the first place.

If there's a github URL in the solarnz/roach post I'll see what it extracts it to and get back to this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steini81:
You have to copy the .zip file to /removeable/micro sd card/ and not to /sd card. For now its not possible to flash something from the internal sd card.

If you allready did this you can try to "toggle signature verification" in Recovery i had to do this when i flashed the su on my sensation xe. you have to do this till it says disabled and then flash the .zip

Hope it helps
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
OK: I grabbed both git's (solarnz and roach) and there is only one spot the error could be coming from originally which is in top-level install.c and is basically just a call to mcOpenZipArchive in Zip.c. If returns an error, then that's apparently the error you got (has E: up front, (bad) in rear, and your stuff in between).

mcOpenZipArchive looks at ~4 criteria to open, and one thing that seems kind of important is that I don't see any changes in this Zip.c file in either git repo so if it fails on solarnz, it "ought" to fail on roach.

What Zip.c checks are these things:

1) Is the file there and openable at all? (based on a few things first on /MicroSD (wheverever you pointed it), or on /sdcard if those other oddball things were setup but you said they weren't.

2) Can it map the memory for this file in shared mem?

3) Did the map return an endpoint(amount of mem) that would hold the entire file?

4) Can it parse the file into mapped mem?

I don't have time to go through more code but if any of those things cause some alarm to go off in your head, then good and there's hope of figuring it out, and if not, well, maybe we can get roach to look it over as if he hasn't got enough going on ;)

The other possible obvious thing might just be that your cwm is corrupt and useless. I've had this happen to me, but have used nvflash to blow another img of it onto the tf. I don't know if you've got that capability or not. Like all errors, it could be a million things, and by the time I finish this paragraph, I hope you've solved it.

Thanks again for advices, solved in 1 minute with

Gnufabio RecoveryInstaller

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1346180

Bad point here I didn’t figured out what was the reason of the problem, I would agree with hachamacha:

With only one exception: it was “partly” corrupted (see in my first post, with same CWM I have installed 2 zip- images without any problem), only with conjunction with cwm_recovery-3201_roach-tf101-r1.zip problem appears.

In any case: for guys who having problems "updating CWM with CWM" - just use Gnufabio RecoveryInstaller
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leung.eyl:
Hi Everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II (from Virgin Mobile, Canada) and for some reason... the native video calling feature does not work!

My friends got their SGS2 from Bell and it works...and my boyfriend just bought a used one from UK and it works as well.

When I called Samsung, they said that it should not be available in Canada...then how come the other SGS2's work.

Can anybody tell me if it is working on their SGS2?

And if you installed a 3rd party app (not skype or tango) but something to make the native one work. Please tell. I just doesn't make any sense why Samsung would release a phone feature that is not globally available!!!

It's frustrating!

:mad::(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
Works on my S2 on Rogers. I think features like this are carrier dependent. Your other option would be a 3rd party app like Tango. I prefer and use that for video calling anyways.

So apparently....I asked Samsung again and after I posted a link saying that 2.3.4 offers the "Facetime-like" video calling feature (free on wifi)

they said that it's because some phones are on 2.3.4 and that's why it works.

Is yours on 2.3.4?

So does the hotspot turn off after no activity for a certain amount of time?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtodi:
I have actually had my phone shut down on several occasions because the battery got so hot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Hotspot will generally kinda go into a sleep mode when there's no data transfer activity. Whether your phone will cool back down while hotspot is still on is not always certain.

I have yet to use a hotspot method that doesn't heat the phone. It's a fairly intensive feature on the wifi, which when used heavily, can heat the phone under other circumstances as well. When tethering, I remove the back cover and place my phone face down to vent a bit better.

Sprint Hotspot works very simply. It's a nicely integrated tether feature. When turned on, it immediately works, sends a message to Sprint requesting confirmation that you're enabled for the feature, and then either continues to allow it to run or disables it on the spot depending on the response. The Hotspot Hack simply tells it not to ask permission.

In short, if you're not paying for hotspot, then Sprint tells it to shut itself off. You won't be charged. If you have the hack, then it just runs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_toffeescouser:
I've flashed the task650 and phantom rom. Then installed titanium back up from the market and restored all of my apps. It then said that the android launch error has stopped or something.

What have I done wrong and how can I fix it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SacTilt:
Did you also let TiBu restore all your settings as well? or JUST the apps? Did you restore an app that was included in the ROM?

When switched ROM's you should only restore apps that are not on the device already. You also should be careful with all settings that you restore as well.

For me, I restore the missing apps, that I still want, with data along with accounts, BT pairings, and WiFi settings. That's it.

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

Oh, and to fix it, I would just hard reset your device, verify that all is running as it should, and then begin installing your apps again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_toffeescouser:
This is what I think the sequence of what I have done is.

-Obviously rooted my tablet.

-Backed it up with Rom manager and copy and pasted the back up to my PC as well as the back ups of the apps and settings from titanium.

-Downloaded and transferred the task650 and phantom rom to my tablet.

-Flashed it and deleting the cache and dalvik etc in the process.

-Followed the process of not selecting google during the factory reset and changed my wifi settings and synced google once the flash had finished.

-I then went to the market place and reinstalled titanium from their and restored the apps and data.

-It was at that point when I could not get back onto the android desktop (if thats what its called.)

Now when I click the power button I can unlock it and it brings up this box:

Sorry! The application Launcher (process.com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close or report.

If I hold the power button I see a recovery option with rom manager icon and a download option.

So to answer your question I did let TiBu restore setting as well because I am a total noob. I more than likely did restore an app that was in the rom.

I can't really see if all is running as it should because if I force close the error message it just goes blank and brings the error back up.

I haven't bricked it have I? I hope to god this is fixable.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SacTilt:
You are not bricked. I would just follow the steps again on the Task650 and Phantom thread to re-flash the ROM, and just start over. Once you have re-flashed, then reinstall TiBu and then begin restoring only the missing apps with their corresponding data. DO NOT RESTORE any settings or any apps that are already in the ROM unless you know specifically that they are safe to restore (MOST ARE NOT).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_toffeescouser:
Thanks for your help I'm back on ok after a hard reset. I think its back to the way it was before I restored apps and data off tibu.

Im already on the task and phantom rom after the reset so do I need to still reflash the rom?

I'm not really bothered about reinstalling apps, but is their any I should restore?

Would downloading an app from the market I had on the previous rom cause problems?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SacTilt:
No, you do not need to re-flash if the hard rest took care of your problem.

The only apps to NOT restore are the ones that are already on the ROM, as that may cause a conflict. Apps that you have downloaded from the market in the past, and that are not currently in the ROM should be ok to restore with TiBu.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_toffeescouser:
Again thanks you have been very helpful.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
