[HTC Wildfire S] woprr:
Sorry, but upgrading with this process has not worked out here ver. 12/02 -> 12/04.

CWM recovery latest.

Looks like a permissions problem, FAT fs / file transfer damage is out, checksums match:

:~/htc/htc-kernel/ih8$ md5sum 4.1.2-stripped-GApps.zip
d8c4ee0388e780ea22d60d9e21c5df33 4.1.2-stripped-GApps.zip
# md5sum /storage/sdcard0/4.1.2-stripped-GApps.zip
d8c4ee0388e780ea22d60d9e21c5df33 /storage/sdcard0/4.1.2-stripped-GApps.zip
