Getting Flash Error

So I've been on AOSP for over a year and it's possible I've forgotten how to flash a Sense ROM. Keep getting the following error:

error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 0)

Tried flashing non A2SD without ext partition, tried with both, etc. Wiped everything, flashed, restored to AOSP nandroid, redownloaded RC2, tried RC1. Any ideas? I'm I forgetting a major step going back to Sense?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
What recovery are you using? It sounds to me like you may be using an old version of CWM or even TWRP. Make sure you are not using TWRP to flash a Sense ROM, I recommend using CWM recovery v5.0.2.7 (that's what I am using and it works fine).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] brandontowey:
Yea, that was the on thing I forgot to try. Flashing CWM now, was using TWRP 2.1. Will report back when I give it a shot.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Finally got off RC0 -> RC1 -> Control Panel and it seems to be working.

Found a few bugs, will report later.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] brandontowey:
Yup, it was my recovery. CWM flashed with no problem.

Any one else getting Control Panel FC's? Tried searching but XDA app search is terrible and XDA is blocked at work.

Sent from the bushes outside your house.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
Does the Control Panel FC as soon as you select it from settings?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] brandontowey:
Just did a fresh install after deleting my ext partition and worrking like a champ. Thanks for the replies.

Like the ROM. Wasn't sure about Sense but, on this ROM at least, it feels smoother and less glitchy then AOSP.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
I just installed RC2 so I could update my PRL and I still have the same problem I had with RC1, no lights on hardware buttons or keyboard. My phone just seems to have a problem with this Rom.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
you wiped everything before installing? your phone could theoretically not get along with the rom, no two phones act alike after all.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
Yeah, I always wipe data/cache/dalvik a couple times then go into mount menu and format cache/data/system 3 or more times each before flashing a new ROM.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ajolly:
Broken audio?

Anyone have a problem with audio and this rom? Speakerphone works fine, headset works fine, but if anyone calls me I cant hear a word they say. Any ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Maybe your earpiece went out or is going out, i have a shift right here with a bad ear piece. All other audio is great

Thank god for a sense 2.1 GB rom. All the ones that include stuff from 3+ run like crap for me. They're fine for day to day use, but with game play and media viewing/capture a lot of the roms that incorporate sense 3.0 features run slower for me and present me with the sense loading screen.

So I have CWM 5.0.2 should I upgrade before trying to flash this? I've downloaded newSENSE_RC2.zip. I'm just dragging and dropping zip file in my SD then go to CWM wipe everything down then install from SD car right? I've tried that twice now and it says that it's installing but the progress bar doesn't move and after about 45 seconds it says that it's done. But when I reboot it doesn't show anything has changed...

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ghostman256:
No modifications, i erased everything and a new flashed. I will try to erase everything and reflashed tonight and see if it gets fixed.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ghostman256:
Must of been a glitch in the matrix, I went ahead and reflashed, now I am able to download the Wells Fargo app and history eraser. Thank You!!!

Question if I wanted to apply ICS theme to this rom , where would i go, i see a theme section but does those themes work for all roms?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
No, themes are compatible with the ROM theyre made for (usually in the OP). Somebody has an ics theme for newSENSE but it may need updating for RC2
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
thats correct i have the one for newSENSE RC1 but I havent updated it to RC2 yet because of the themeing headache with the built in options in rc2.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
This is quite possibly the best ROM available for the shift. I have been running it since March RC0 with no complaints.

Definitely one of the Best put together Roms I have ever had the pleasure to flash, and use.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Aaargh!:
So I have returned to newSense rc2 from ssx. As normal i use Titanium to uninstall twitter, footprints, facebook, stocks, fm radio and peep. In the past I have had no problems with the first release of newSense and all the supreme roms. But recently I have run into some glitches. I do a full wipe, wiping data, system, cache, sd-ext, etc individually. Now on RC2 I go into newSense control panel, modifications, and each selection I choose states "File has no Text." Did I somehow uninstall something required?? I have been flashing roms for over a year now and have not had a problem. But just recently something id off kilter. Of course i did recently drop my phone from about 8 foot, buit it did not seem to effect its functioning. Any suggestions as to my errors? Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
You have an active internet connection? I just checked the server and all the xmls are in place so they should be loading as long as ur connected to data.

problem here.. i can't download the damn file..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Sorry bout the problems for those who are having them. For what it's worth, I'm using the latest cwm recovery from rom manager.

In recovery I went to mounts and manually formatted system, data, and cache. I flashed the rom, it took appx 2-3 mins, than rebooted to system. It sat on the splash screen for a couple minutes, and it takes a little longer to boot because it's de-odex and has to build the dalvik cache before booting. I have also tested, following the same steps using twrp recovery 1.1.1 and below. I do not use twrp 2.0 or cwm touch because I personally haven't had the greatest luck with either of them. Like one_love_420 said, please post a logcat, I'm available all day. You can also gtalk me if your having any issues drob311420 @ gmail .com...

P.s.a. Logcats save lives! :) lol

Edit: I forgot to mention, that I don't currently have my sdcard partitioned.

This is something I was going to post up later today. Basically when you first boot the ROM under rosie options, paginated app drawer is checkmarked even tho rosie is set to smooth scroll. If you do indeed want it paginated, you have to uncheck then re-check and hit kill rosie. If you want to keep it smooth, uncheck it and kill rosie. As for it not showing all your apps, I haven't been able to reproduce that one yet.

Yes Wipe Cache and Dalvik before Flashing. Boot back into Recovery and Wipe Cache, and Dalvik. Then reflash the mod. If it doesn't work I'll take down the link.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
The problem is in your zip - framework-res.apk is in the root of the zip archive. Your updater-script does this: package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

There is no system folder so the updater can't push anything.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:

Sounds like a bad download.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riel01:
Hey..... Just noticed a2sd cachesdreset does not stick after I wipe dalvik cache and cache partition in recovery..... I have to gi back in terminal and do it all over again.... Is it just me or is ne1 experiencing the same problem.... Sorry if this was already addressed...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
Probably because when you wipe the cache you are removing the flag.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
You'd think so if the MD5's didn't match, but they do.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
try turning off the md5 hash in the recovery
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
First off, don't use TWRP, it can't flash Sense ROMs. Second, what version of CWM? In CWM you mentioned an error, what is the exact error? Did you check the recovery log?

Also, you can try the recovery I've modified based off of CWM, it will flash it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
CWM Touch is a little quirky. I would suggest the Non-Touch version of CWM. Or better yet use Dread's Recovery :) . You will not be disappointed.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riel01:
Dread.... Is there any a2sd cache to sd command that doesn't remove the flag? I tried cachesd but still resets..... Ne1 have any ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
5.0.20. Just tried your version and it worked. Official CWM was getting a sideload error. I'll admit I'm a little bumbed that TWRP doesn't work with Sense roms, it seemed like a nice recovery.

I never bothered with CWM Touch, seemed like a gimmicky way to make money.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Been using Dreads since Testing. ZERO issues. Like it a Hellua lot more than standard CWM.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
same here, been using the **** outta the superwipe option between roms too
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Is there a setting somewhere in this ROM that makes the audio (at least through headphones) go from loud to soft every other level of volume? It seems like if I'm at mid-volume, and go up or down one click of the volume rocker, that the volume level drops drastically, unless I go another click. So basically even number volume levels are normal level, and odd number volume levels are quieter than they should be.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
Anyone have problems with the Darktremors Apps2SD? I know my partition isn't full, but I'm getting the low internal space error.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
nope, seems your phone doesnt like you :/
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
How big is your sd-ext? You've typed "a2sd reinstall" in terminal or adb shell? Did you activate "a2sd cachesd"? When you check with root explorer in data/apps, does it show your partition size?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
1 Gig

Yes via Terminal.

No I didn't move the caches.

I didn't check with root explorer, but in Titanium Backup is shows my sd-ext has 450mb free.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
If you only did a2sd reinstall then only your apks are moved to the partition. That means your apps data /data/data is internal and so is dalvik-cache, this could be why your getting the low memory warning. For example, I only moved my apps to sd-ext. Right now I've used 271mb with 640mb remaining on my ext. My internal data partition has only 60mb free cuz of the apps data and dalvik-cache.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ron Overdrive:
yeah that's what I figured is wrong, but there's no option for moving data.. just apps and cache. I see the beta version of Darktremor's script has a seperate option for data. Unfortunately 2.7.5.3 Beta4 can't be downloaded and when I try to install 2.7.5.3 Beta 3 via that tweaked CWM it still shows up as 2.7.5.2.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
To flash it you have to manually mount cache, sd-ext, data and stuff (I forget all what you got to mount) drob311 knows more info. It doesn't flash right otherwise.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Yeah, mount system, cache and data and flash a2sd... Make a nandroid first because that a2sd version might not play nicely with the a2sd that's built in...

As a heads up to anyone who did what I did: if you remove sense, make sure you have another launcher already set as default, not just installed(control panel only says to have one installed). Didn't do that and the phone wouldn't boot to home. Dumb, in hindsight, but I have a tendency to do that kind of stuff when fiddling with my phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
I have adw not set as default and when I remove sense and press home adw launches...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
As dread said. As long as a launcher is installed android will start it on boot. No need to set defaults before removing sense.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] brandontowey:
Thought I had tried pressing the home button. Maybe not but I just restored my backup and made sure ADW was default when I removed sense and all was good.

I'm still going through all the pages of this thread so I apologize if this has already been addressed.

This weekend I'm going to try switching my wife's Shift over to newSense. She is currently on an old version of MikShifted-G. I've never installed a new kernel on her phone (so I guess it would still be the stock kernel) nor have I done anything with A2SD.

Other than of course doing a Nandroid backup, is there a correct order to how I should switch her over to newSense or do I just follow the Rom Flashing guides? Do I need to install a custom kernel with this or is it done automatically when flashing the Rom? Also do I need to first prepare the phone for A2SD or do I just type in those few lines in Terminal mentioned at the beginning of the thread after I've successfully flashed the rom?

Thanks for the help.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Make sure your recovery is the latest, I would say use dreads recovery because its awesome sauce and because twrp has issues flashing Sense. To be able to run a2sd the SD card will need to be partitioned, which will wipe the whole card, so back it up to the pc before you partition it for a2sd. If you choose to not run a2sd that's fine and will need no SD work. If you use dreads recovery select his super wipe, which wipes everything and I mean everything before you flash. NewSENSE also has a custom kernel built in so no worries there either
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ks-man:
I use ClockwordMod for recovery and have been happy with it. I'll make sure it is updated. I guess I'll try it first without a2sd and if I want I can always run that later. So based on what you say I can just ignore doing anything with the Kernel and just flash the rom and the kernel will be taken care of automatically, right?

Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Yeah the kernel is rolled into the ROM
