Root E:Error in /sdcard/

[woohhaa]

Last week my rooted incedible 2 running the below ROM started giving me problems when installing google+. I pulled the battery, as it became unresponsive, and once it booted back up it would quickly become unresponsive again. I finally booted into clockworkmodrecovery v5.0.2.0 and tried installing various new ROMs with no success. Every time I get a errors similar to below. It happens with every ROM I try.

I'm not really sure what's going on here but I suspect I have have some corrupt memory. Any advise would be much appreciated.

ROM Prior to issues:

RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_signed.zip

Have you cleared cache in recovery?

 

[woohhaa]

Yes. Does the incredible only use the removable Micro SD card or is there an integrated memory as well?

 

[bberryhill0]

There's a gig of internal memory. You can see that in the filename. /sdcard is the sdcard. /anything else is internal.

I tried with a different sdcard. I formatted it using FAT32 and the only thing on it is the CCM7.2_V1.6_Inc2.zip ROM. Then when I booted to the recovery, wiped the cache successfully, then chose the zip from sdcard.

It went into the instillation proccess but ended with a similar error.

Try removing all the underscores from the file name and flash again.

I tried removing the underscores to no avail. I should be selecting install zip from sdcard to flash it right?

Correct.

I'm starting to think you have a problem with your recovery. I highly recommend flashing 4ext Touch Recovery. Even if that isn't the problem, your future will be brighter with 4ext. But I am suspecting your recovery.

I downloaded the 4ext apk but how do I install it with no OS loaded on the phone?

The apk is just the "control app" for use from the os, not the recovery.

I don't remember where I got the img file to flash via fastboot. But I'll see if I can help you find it. On my way to work, so I don't know when I'll get a chance. Probably later today.

Maybe in the meantime you could just try reflashing your CWM recovery to get this problem resolved.

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

So I never found an img file for 4ext, but what ever happened with your situation? Did you just reflash your recovery? Did that work for you?

I've been so busy with work and family that I haven't had time to mess with it until today. I tried this morning but can't find any solid instructions on how to flash CMR again.

I tried the below method but the CMR file I get is a .img and apparently I need a zip.

Do you know how to flash via fastboot? That's how you flash the img file.

I understand Amon RA is a solid recovery. Here's the thread with it in there if you like.

Here's a how-to for flashing fastboot recovery. If this one doesn't float your boat, there's a million if you just google "fastboot flash recovery"
