[Q] error installing Liberated 2.2.2

[ghent96]

Well, I really did try searching for this before posting, but didn't see anyting with several variations on the search.

I have a Rooted Aria 2.1 "stock" with Clockwork Recovery, i think from using unrevoked3 awhile back.

Read up about Liberated 2.2.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272 - and decided to try just installing it over the old stock ROM, since others seemed to have success. Did several backups using different apps, such as Titanium Backup, BackupEverything, and also did the NAND backup from clockwork.

Rebooted into recovery. Cleared Dalvik. Cleared cache. Installed from SDcard: the default name of the liberated .zip file, hoxnet_liberated_aria_liberated_final.zip. It ran through several lines of progress:

-- Installing: SDCARD:hoxnet_aria_liberated_final.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Aria Liberated HFR006b.
With hoxnet_kernel_006b.
Formatting "system" ...
Unpacking new files...
Symlinks and permissions...
E:Error in /sdcard/hoxnet_aria_liberated_final.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.


...so I waited a few seconds, making sure it was really "done", then just tried again, just picking the .zip file again from the sdcard in the clockwork recovery menu, same as before, but now it is just frozen at "Formatting "system" ..."

Suggestions?

Usually when I've seen error messages like that, it turned out that the zip file was corrupt. I suggest re-downloading the zip file and trying it again.

If you know how to check the MD5 sum, check that. The correct sum is listed next to the Liberated 2.2.2 download link.

Don't really have a way of checking the md5, so I guess I'll redownload. Just wanted to make sure this didn't brick my phone. It's still frozen at "Formatting system..." but I can try removing battery to restart it.

...after a long, long reboot and loading time on the ATT white screen, the phone was totally normal back into 2.1 stock. I guess nothing was actually changed during the failed flash attempt. Redownloaded Liberated 2.2.2 by Gene as well as attn1's Liberated 2.2, and CM7... will try them in that sequence, but I'd prefer to stick with the 2.2.2 as it seems from other posters to be most stable and functional.

I don't like bloatware, but can remove it just fine on my own using Ti Backup's method. I mainly want to move apps to the SD card.

You should be able to install the Liberated 2.2.2 final version in CWM 5. I'm talking about the version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272

The CWM 2 requirement was only necessary for older releases.
