Just can't install any ROM

---

hi,
after some theme ****ed up my CM 4.2.15.1 installation I tried to to a fresh new install, but it doesn't seem to work.

First of all some information that might be useful, dunno:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29

I downgraded to RC7 (Kila_uk-user 1.0 TC5 RC7 112931 ota-rel-keys) again and did the telnet-thingy to install the recovery image, which works fine - but here's where the problem starts.
I wanted to install DRC83_base_defanged (as the CMWiki says) from the recovery mode but it simply says "Installation aborted".
Also wiping, recovery etc. doesn't work at all. No matter what update.zip I want to install, it's the same every time. I googled for like 5 hours now and can't find any solution, please don't flame me if I was simply too stupid for proper searching, trust me I did ^^
The same thing happens to me when using the CM recovery and the RA one. Am I right that this can't be because I have no root? Because if I can install the recovery images, I should have root, right? please help me I'm getting crazy, trying to make it work for the whole day now

thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english and newbiness ^^

the only thing I can think of is one of your partitions has become corrupt
its happened to me before ( well truth be known I did a flash_image system /sdacard/nandriod....system.img , don't do that )

here is how to confirm
from RA Recovery go to console, and type
mount /system
then
mount /data
and then
mount /cache
if any of those complain, then we are closer to fixing it

you need to erase the problem partition with fastboot

fastboot is part of the android sdk, you can hopefully find install instructions somewhere on this forum or google.

once you have fastboot setup, you need to get into fastboot mode on the phone, do this by holding the camera button when turning your phone on, you should see skateboards
hook your phone up to pc via usb
select fastboot on the phone ( fastboot should be in a red block )
then on pc
fastboot erase < the broken partition >

e.g. if system failed to mount
fastboot erase system


Hope this helps

ok the cache seems to be broken, now i just have to get familiar with the android sdk and how that fastboot stuff works

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=3083753

will help

and you can get to fastboot a little faster,

use back + power



but camera + power
and then back will work
