[Q] need help flashing ROM - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a new evo updated. Rooted with unrevoked and running sprint lovers (PC3IMG) I installed clockworkmod and tried to flash a rom and had problems. I thought that clockworkmod was my problem so I flashed back to my RU recovery. I then went into recovery and wiped data, dalvick, and cache. I then chose install zip from sdcard and then I selected the new Fresh ROM zip. I tried to install it and it goes all the way to Writing boot.img and I get an error that says
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:error in /sdcard/fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
So then I tried to install Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo and I get to copying files and I get this error:
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[
E:Failure at line 15:
symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[
Installation aborted
I am stumped and dont know what to try next. Anyone know whats going on with these errors?

Just tried to install pc36img from sdcard and I get this after it says installing update:
E:Can't find update script
Installation aborted.
I think that this will only work if I flash it at Hboot and select yes for the update? Either way, I would rather have Fresh as my ROM because I used it on my Hero and I loved it. Any help?

After reading other posts, many say it has to do with the HBOOT size not having enough space??? Its not seeing the boot.img correctly. I have no idea. Anyone have any ideas?

[PROBLEM] I can't install new roms on Desire and can't wipe....ClockWork can't mount.

Hi everyone!
After 2 months i decided to root my Desire and install custom ROM.
I have rooted phone using Unrewoked application version 3.32. Everything was done, it has rebooted several times and Desire was rooted.
Now when i enter ClockWorkMod Recovery it shows:
ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
When i try to install Oxygen 2.0 using zip file it shows:
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
E:error in /sdcard/update-oxygen-2.0-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted.
If i wipe device nothing really happens...
Where is the problem? Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Take the battery out and leave your phone off for a few minutes.
Put the battery back in and try it again.
The exact same thing happened to me yesterday and this is how I fixed it!
Edit:
This usually happens because the phone cannot read the SD Card so remove the SD Card and put it back in.
Could be a corrupt SD card, what happens when you boot without an SD card inserted?
I left battery out for arround 5 minutes and it didn't helped. I changed SD card and it didn't helped too.... Well i will try tomorrow again. Thanks anyway
edit: I tried to boot into recovery without SD card and it shows errors too.
If ur desire is a new PVT4 device, the ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.7 doesn't work..U have to use amon ra 2.0.1 or the lathest clockworkmod 3.0.0.5-r3 (second post for downlaod)
To apply ur preferred recovery, u have to run unrevoked again, but before run it select from unrevoked program the *.img file of ur recovery (amon_ra or latest clockwork)
.
.................................
-Download amon ra
-Run unrevoked and from File/Custom recovery select the img file of amon ra
-Just now plug ur device and wait it to apply the new recovery
-Now u can flash the rom u like
Unrevoked allows u to root and also to flash a new recovery. A new recovery is needed for u to flash roms
I hope to have been more clear now

I had this problem initially on my SLCD desire 0.93 hboot.
The reason is that it need a custom root file to loaded through unlocker. This is available through XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9245153
recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1-0.93.rar
after this it rooted perfectly

It seems you may have a corrupted .zip installation file. Try downloading again or another rom to test.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have test with Virtous Unity 1.31. I have the same problem

I have this exact same problem! I've tried different ROMS and tried restoring my old backup and no go
I have gone as far as trying to use fastboot to send me back system img and I get a data length is too large.
Mytouch 4 G
Clockworkmod 3.0.2.4
T-mobile
For the data length too large error, you might be in hboot rather than fastboot mode. Make sure there is FASTBOOT USB in red near the top.

[Q] Stuck in Recovery, can't flash ROMs

Decided to resurrect my old Verizon GNex, and found that it will only boot to TWRP recovery. Was able to successfully sideload a ROM zip, but attempt to flash produces the following result (copied from phone screen, site won't let me link screenshot):
Formatting /system
Extracting /system
Symlinking
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/sideload.zip'
Updating partition details...
Failed
Any ideas on how to proceed?
First copy ROM on sdcard, then wipe all except sdcard, and then try.

[Q] Wiped /sdcard and /system - only have CWM now. How can I proceed?

I had an older custom ROM and CWM 6.0.10 and I wanted to update to a newer 4.4 ROM (Omni) so I booted into recovery and proceeded to do a factory reset along with a format of /sdcard and /system. Now when I reboot, I enter recovery automatically.
I managed to push the ROM .zip to the phone using "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip". The problem is that when I try to install from zip (withing CWM) the install fails with this message:
SymlinkingApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/addon.d/50-hosts.sh to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/omni-4.4.4-20140825-maguro-FML.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
I'm stuck here and I'm guessing that I shouldn't have formatted /sdcard and /system as the directory "/0" that the error message refers to isn't on /sdcard anymore (it used to be). Not sure what to do at this point.
I've tried flashing TWRP, but fastboot waits forever with a "<waiting for device>". I thought TWRP might let me sideload the ROM (I was thinking that this manner of installing might create some default partitions on the SD card, as needed.
I welcome any suggestions. BTW, this is all on a Galaxy Nexus GSM
