# file -zi X1i_CZ_R2AA011
X1i_CZ_R2AA011: application/octet-stream
Seems it's a bare binary file. So it's uncompressed. Try to rename it to kovsimg.nbh, put it onto your SD-Card and try to flash your phone. If it is no compatible Image, you will get the notice "no image found".

Cannot unzip the ROM image

Hello,
I would like to follow the procedure for customizing the splash screen as described here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SplashScreen
At first, I didn't know where to get the program ROMUpgradeUt.exe, then I found (quite difficultly - sometimes the obvious for one is so obfuscated for the other one) that is contained in any ROM image. And that any ROM image is an archive. Well, I downloaded 2 Dopod ROM images, renamed them from .exe into .zip (and .rar) , but neither WinZIP, nor WinRAR is able to open the archive.
I remember doing it, could you please help with this issue ?
If you have any other advice on how to customize the splash screen(s), I would be very grateful.
Thank you all.
Please, could somebody help me with this ?
It is not clear what you want!
You should not be renaming any .exe files to .zip or .rar.
Try right clicking on the .exe file (dopod rom downloaded) and if you have winzip installed you will have a winzip menu in the context sensitive menu. - Choose Extract to - and extract the contents of the .exe to a folder.
You also will have extract to as an option on your right click menu if you have 7-zip (free) installed.
Once you extract the ROM you will have all the ROM and upgrade files. You can Now delete the .nbh file (the ROM) and replace it with the splash ROM .nbh file that you created using the instructions that you are following. (Use the same file name to be sure).
Now use the RUUtility.exe to flash your splash
Hi, thanks for the reply. I remember that last time I did the same operation I had to rename the file. I might be wrong. Anyhow, I'll try to do as you said.
Thanks again.

I don't think there is a phone that can use zipped files right out of the box, so you should first unpack the content of the zip, as you would do it on the PC.

pretty sure I've been opening ZIP files on my X1 via the default File Manager without any 3rd party software.
Although I'm guessing the original poster is getting confused between CAB and ZIP because Windows XP likes to treat them as the same.
I'v a question! Please help.
Well, if .zip file contain .cab or .exe then the procedure is lay down.
What in the case of zip files of theme or clock contain only .png file in that.
I mean, how to use such zips??
For more clarity to my question please check attachment enclosed & explain me, "In case I want to install that clock on my WM, how to proceed??"
Thanks in advance!!
You don't use the .zip, you have to copy those .png images into a specific folder.
Or maybe you downloaded the source images, i don't really know, i never installed a new clock theme or something.
Where do you have this file from?

Flashing Touch-IT Leo v11 - Code 00068002 ???

Haha, i found the solution.
Thanks!
Try activisync metod with notebook!
Will do in a sec.
When i have placed it onto MicroSD card it changes name to only Kovsimg, shall i rename it .nbh again?
Hi!
Have you done the Hard Spl first before you can use these Custom Roms?? Read the sticki threads about how it´s done.
I don´t know if this is the problem but you said that you have a orginal danish 6.1 Rom. So just try it out and read the stickies first and then put it on the mem card and with the name kovsimg.nbh.
Good Luck from a swede!
Br!

Just try to format the mem card again and then copy over the file kovsimg.nbh to the mem card again. Try this first, if i does´nt work try to update with Custom RUU instead. You know how to do it?
//Giganten79
I don't know how to update with custom RUU?
I have just tried on an XP notebook with acticesync. Same problem.

file must be named kovsimg.nbh so Yes you need to keep the extension.
you probably should set up your folders configuration to show file extensions!
Maybe a stupid question, but how do i do that?
Now i have tried all sorts of things like formatting the mem card, and changing the name of the file to .nbh.
But it still looks like the picture...
What i do?
buddy i think that its ur mmc.
it happened to me too it said "no img file found" when i used my 1 GB micro SD card, but worked fine with my 8GB.
I think it was due to my 8GB being Micro SD HC.
Its just a guess this difference did have an effect on my HTC Universal back a year.
Is this the first time ur updating ur rom?
I suggest u get another micro SD HC card, perhaps borrow from ur friend first to see if this really is the issue.
and another thing;
just changing the name of the file doesn't change it into a .nbh file.
if you are using windows, go to the folder >Tools (on top bar)> Folder Options> General Tab> And UNCHECK the box which says "hide extensions of known file types".
Then you rename the file to KOVSIMG.nbh
If you are using VISTA, you would have to go into folder options from the control panel.
And then try again, and lets see if it works.
as said in other place
extract the 7z file
dont rename it..
u can rename the ruu.signed.nbh after extracting it
in windows, look somewhere in control panel, folder options, something like 'hide file extensions of known file types' and uncheck. because, i assume your konvskyimg.nbh file didn't show it's extension ...

Help!

Hey all, I'm currently in RA after flashing the recovery image , and I'm trying to install the FRESH rom on there but for some reason when I try to "Flash zip from sdcard" it's telling me "No zip files found." Why is that? I have the whole zip folder placed in the main SD card, so why is it telling me it's not found?

I responded to you on http://GeekFor.Me, but the reason is because RA looks in the root of sdcard, the zips can't be inside of any folders.
So does that mean I have to take out all the individual files and place them directly into the root of the sdcard? Because I just basically copied the download folder and dropped it into the root. Thanks for the reply

You need to leave the files in a .zip, but yea that zip needs to be on the root of the sdcard.
The only file you need to install the rom is fresh-cdma-hero-20d.zip (for fresh rom 2.0d). Any other zips are just addons or tweaks or whatever they may be.

Hmm, I'm on a Mac and maybe it's me but the link I download from gives me an actual folder rather than a zip. And when I rename the folder to a zip, it gives an error. Is there a mirror link to download an actual zip folder?
Boogie when you download it dont opening after it finishes downloading .. just use the finder to navigate to where its at and then copy that to your sd .. when you open it on a mac it will automatically create the extracted folder .. hope this helps ...
Sounds like your using Safari to download it. To make this easier in the future go to Safari > Preferences > General and make sure that "Open safe files after downloading" is NOT check-marked.
Safari is unpacking the zip file for you. The file you want is in your trash bin, drag it to the root of your SD card and that's it..
Ok I'm gonna give it another go. Since I made it all the way through to the RA stage, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to flash the rom is there?
Thanks for all the help everyone I finally got it to flash the FRESH rom, but once I rebooted it, it's still in the "HTC" branded screen. Is it loading? It's not going anywhere but this screen, although I know it's doing something because the animation shine is moving.

After flashing a new ROM, it can take up to 10 minutes or so to load.
Nice Everything is all good! Now my last question is how do I get the removed apps from the ROM back onto here? I actually prefer to have some of those programs back onto the phone.

There is a link in the release notes to download all the removed apk's from Fresh Rom. You will then need to use adb push to push them back to /system/app. Search for how to setup adb on a mac as I honestly don't know.

[Q] phiremod v5.1

I'm getting an error when trying to install it...
"cant open sd card/phiremod-nook-v5.1.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted."
no idea what I'm doing wrong =[
try redownloading it, thats what i did
try redownloading everything and putting it on the root of the card
I'm going from 4.1 to 5.1 would that be a problem? and I've redownloaded like 3 times, all with the same result. =[
Try unzipping it first, I seem to recall that it was zipped up twice...

also when i copy over the unziped "phiremod-nook-v5.1.zip" and i copy it to the SD card, it gives me a popup. "Please insert the Multi-Volume set and click OK to continue"
maybe i should just burn a new SD Card, i have yet to get anything to work on this CWM SD card.
Drill down to the zip file gz > tar > zip.
I used 7zip Freeware to unpack.
Move both the ADW settings file and zip file to card after burning the clockwork image to ur sd card

I had to return my Nook to stock first using stock-1.1.0-CWR which is simple to use.

exactly what i did, and I did a tested and could install other things, but i just cant seem to get the file hosted off of his site to work... maybe it's corrupted now?
edit: also it never starts as a GZ... or atleast the version i have never does,..
About this version I've been wondering, is there any way to turn off those windows and menu transitions? I'd like it back to the way it was.
so what I've done is removed .tar from the name, unzipped, put the .tar at the end again, and unzipped from there. and that gives me a zip file right? using winzip
and that worked, for what ever reason when i was unzipping the GZ it was thinking the result was a zip not a tar, so it wouldnt unzip it more unless i renamed it. thanks for the help!!!
