Installation aborted

I posted this on the General Section thread. But there are a lot of people asking abt this here as well, hence -

Hmmm, going over the past few posts, and having faced the same problem, this is how i solved it.

So I have seen a lot of people get "installation aborted" message at recovery. This is because the .zip we make is not signed.

WAIT...don't go searching for ways to get it signed. Best method :

One requires - Notepad++ and 7zip - both freeware - google them up.

1) download the aosp ROM you want to flash

2) open with 7zip

3) DO NOT EXTRACT FILES - go to meta-inf-....-updater-script in 7zip itself.

4) EXTRACT ONLY updater-script, right click it and delete it from 7zip. DO NOT CLOSE THE 7ZIP WINDOW

5) Modify the updater-script file (from wherever you extracted it to) using Notepad++, save it once done,

6) Go back to 7zip window and click "Add" and add the modified updater-script in the same folder as it was before.

7) Close 7zip

8) Do the same with Gapps.

9) transfer to SD and you're ready to flash.

This solves the "Installation aborted" message with dual booting.

Happily Dual booting Stock TW and HaloGenMOd based on CM10.2

New Update!

Use /data/media/.secondrom as 2nd rom folder so data of 2nd rom won't wipe if you factory reset your phone

You will loose your current data of 2nd rom, you can move 2nddata to /data/media/.secondrom/data!

Be careful as always

BTW if you cannot switch back to TW rom:

- Download RomSwitcher.apk and install again

- Download SuperSu from Play Store

Perseus kernel is updated to alpha 10 too

Also, could you tell me is build.prop the same for both TW and the AOSP ROM using dual boot. Or can I edit the build.prop of the AOSP without the TW being affected?

EDIT - I didn't quite understand. I downloaded ROMswitcher again it still shows alpha9 in Perseus Kernel.

And which files do I move to data/media/.secondrom and which files to data/media/.secondrom/data ? And how? I have ROM toolbox installed so I can see the root files.

Help

OK I need help.

to update the ROMswitcher, this what i did -

uninstall romswitcher

delete /sdcard/romswitcher folder

boot recovery

delete cache partition

flash aosp

flash gapps

reboot tw

install the new romswitcher file from the first page of this thread

waited for files to be downloaded

after the files were downloaded, i tried opening the romswitcher - it doesnt open

also, i checked - this just created another /sdcard/romswitcher but it doesn't have first.img (only download.zip and second.img are there)

where did i go wrong? and how do i rectify this?

thanks in advance!

edit - seems like data from the earlier ROMSwitcher was stored in data/dual/2nddata and cache was in data/dual/cache. Do these files need to be touched?

EDIT 2 - sorted out the issue - downloaded persues alpha10 and flashed it, then saved the boot.img as first.img in /sdcard/romswitcher. worked!

also, there is now a folder in data/media/.secondrom

HOWEVER, is it safe to delete data/dual (as it was the place where the earlier data was stored, and i don't really need it as such. and it eats up memory.)

Go to TW rom

Uninstall romswitcher

Delete sdcard/romswitcher

Boot recovery

Wipe cache partition

Flash aosp ROM (modified)

Flash gapps (modified)

Reboot system

Download romswitcher.apk (the new one)

Wait for it to download files

Download Perseus alpha10 kernel from original android dev forums

Extract boot.img and rename it first.IMG (do not delete boot.IMG from the Perseus.zip)

Boot recovery

Flash kernel (just install it from sdcard no need to wipe cache)

Reboot system

Transfer first.IMG to sdcard/romswitcher

Run romswitcher app

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yashvchauhan:
Try these 3 things -

1) update to the latest ROMswitcher

2) download superSU from the play store in the aosp ROM and grant superuser rights to ROMswitcher

3) settings -> superuser -> make sure ROM switcher is given superuser rights.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Arjav23:
Happened once with me today

Do this

After getting su permissions and all that

In choice menu click on 4.2.2(choose this option don't enter it)

Then again click on 4.3 (choose this option don't enter it)

Then on 4.2.2 again and press the enter

It should reboot into 4.2.2

For some reason I can't. Keep saying same app signature exist. Try to remove it but every time I try uninstall it with SD Maid. It keep reinstalling it self I'm assuming so i cant update it although i had the latest version installed in Arrow rom. Also cant install SuperSU Binary after installing it from play store. Keep failing. I do have super user permision for the romswitcher though. Wouldn't reboot without it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yashvchauhan:
Did you update to the latest version of romswithcher? Where is your aosp installed?

Sdcard/data/dual

Or

Sdcard/data/media/.secondrom

(Download es explorer, enable root mode and see which of the above 2 files you have)

Also, check out the posts on the discussion thread in the general forum.

I'm not sure abt this, but you could try following (not sure someone confirm this)

-clear cache in recovery and try reinstall romswitcher after that

-restore nandroid backup (I hope you have made one) and flash another aosp (maybe prob with aosp)

-check out iamsachin's halogenmod thread in android original dev forum - it has link to superSU.zip (at the end of first post) maybe useful? Edit - hmmm don't know, don't try this I guess.

Happened to me but with pacman, what I did is flashing perseus kernel or TW stock kernel that you should have if u backed up all.

it happened with an older version and I think its a rom problem because with the latest pacman the romswitcher works flawless, try going back to TW and start the whole process again with different rom or ver.
