Replicant

Dear forum,

I'm struggling to get Replicant installed on my Galaxy S.

Trying to go back to factory settings, my rooted phone got bricked. After struggling with the USB drivers via zadig I finally managed ODIN (very flaky tool !) to recognise the device. I managed to repartition the phone using the PIT file s1_odin_20100512.pit (from google code)

I then started took the Replicant recovery image and installed that image. It now states CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.6 and operates without errors when mounting unmounting etc.

Now, when in recovery mode and pushing (adb) the Replicant MOD I always get an error stating:

E:Error in storage sdcard0 update.zip
(status 0)
Installation aborted.

I've looked at various combinations, rebooting reconnecting, re-wiping, toggling signature verif, sideloading vs pushing, etc. etc.

So far I have not found a root cause or way to avoid the error and continue with the ROM installation.

Any idea what is causing the error message in the ROM zip files with Status 0 ?

After a fresh reboot in recovery and going to Advanced-show log, I can see:

I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
I:Cannot load volume misc
I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: devices platform s3c-sdhci.0 mmc_host mmc0

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
