[Q] Invalid package file - HTC Wildfire S

Some of the apps I try to download or update give me a message "invalid package file" and if I try to install something it says "not installed" or something like that, I don't know what to do
I have looked at all the other posts relating to my problem and nothing is helping

add h to the front of the link.
im getting this am im clueless.
I downloaded it using the link directly from HTC, you need to be on a stock 1.47 (I did a reinstall of 1.47 from the HTC ruu, so it was a clean install), copy the update to your sd card and name it update.zip, power off, turn on by pressing power and vol up, select bootloader, then select recovery, once you are at the htc phone with red exclamation mark screen press power and vol up, select apply sdcard: update.zip, it will start scanning the file, then it will prompt to reboot, it will reboot to a green circle with an arrow and begin the installation. Those are the steps I followed and mine updated to 2.2 successfully.
no i downloaded it from Engadget on my phone and then copied it to the computer for safe keeping. but then cleared all storage as well and then added it back on there. on the sd and it will not load.
it just keeps saying that not the right file.
i followed all the instructions to the T.
FYI im unrevoked. Shouldnt matter.
Ok and what were those another time bc i did not see any other then the download.
hey thanks i for got i was on 1.32 still but with up date 1 so i guess that is the issue then. will check it out and see. thanks
Android police has a mirror for the update. HTC has delete the link form their site. I am just letting you guys know how I did it. My phone was not rooted. All stock, from original release to 1.47 update and now this 3.26 update (froyo 2.2).
Anyone else think i gotta get rid of unrevoked off my evo, go to the previous RUU and then update?

Probably so if you want to try 2.2. Also, engadget has a statement from HTC regarding this update:
Update: HTC just shot us a message to clarify that this is not the final ROM version and that the company is strongly recommending not to install this. Additionally, a request has been put in to remove the file from the server, so if you still want to try at your own risk, better download now while it's still available.
Update 2: ... and now it's gone. We're sure crafty internet users can still find the file lingering elsewhere, but you won't be getting it from HTC's servers this weekend. You know the old saying, ye who snoozes, something something, tough luck.
Its running fine for me, so I we will have to see on 8/1 what the ota version will be.
ok i just updated to the 1.47 and now its telling me that the it can not open the sd card. and or failed to open directory
OK PEOPLE DONT COME IN HERE TELLING US HOW TO DOIT OR WHAT THIS OR THAT SITE SAYS. WE KNOW!!
Now back on topic.

this is what is says in full.
--Install from sdcard...
finding updated package....
opening update package....
verifying update package...
E:failed to open/sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E:signature verifcaiton failed

so what am i doing wrong. i have checked to files and they should all be there. so if some one has a link to the file that i might need to redownload the update and try all over.

Did you name the file update.zip on your sd card?

I had issues with my sd since I purchased the phone (wouldn't show up as a drive on a mac, etc), I formatted the sd card earlier this week, and now all my problems are gone.

I wasn't saying not to do it, in fact I am trying to help, I did mine successfully. I was just posting HTC's response as to why they removed the file from their servers. They say it isn't the final Froyo 2.2 update.
that i did. and i even tried just leaving it the way was downloaded. and still it does the same. that is the reason maybe i need to redownload it. any links to a download.
I don't have rights to post links, sorry
Edit: guess I do, lol

Also, even though HTC is saying this isn't the final update, it has the build number sprint posted, 3.26.651.3, so not sure what else is missing.

[Q] Parsing Error on App Install

I am trying to install an app I found on the web, but I am getting a Parse Error saying, "There is a problem parsing the package," each time I try to install it.
I've tried installing it first through email, and clicking install on the attachment. I then tried by putting it on my SD card and accessing it through a file manager to install it. Both gave me the same errors, so then I thought why not use ADB. Even when I try to install through ADB, it gives me this:
Code:
EOCD not found, not ZIP.
Any ideas? Maybe its just a problem with the app? Though I've seen it work on other phone before...
Maybe it's a corrupted file?

Fresh Updater problems...

Decided to try out the fresh toast #26 kernel so I tried to download it through the update and always get the "unable to download file from any mirrors" error. Am I missing something here?
Nobody has a clue???

Symlink Errors

Not sure what is going on I was cooking a rom and I kept getting this error

E: Failure at line 29:symlink/system/xbin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su
Installation aborted

I thought maybe I forgot the su file. I made sure both were there but I still get the errors when trying to install. I am able to Nandroid and install roms by other people but for some reason I get this error with the rom i've cooked what is the problem?
Have you updated your kitchen lately? I thought that problem was fixed.
And did you run the script checker? Option 10 (maybe) I in the main menu of the kitchen?

With a any file explorer that has root access, you go to /data/data folder, you find the app package of the app you want to install, and you delete it.
