possible to upgrade rom from phone using astro?

Just wondering f pi could download a Rom from your phone delete the old update with astro and then change The name of the Rom to update and wipe and flash. Would this work because it could be helpful when your on the road or vacation.

Yea, any file explorer could be used.
Rename the downloaded update to update.zip and reflash
You got it!

Or... flash the new cyanogen 1.4 recovery which can flash any zip (with proper ROM ofc). No need to rename any more.

oh yeah .. ^ better option ^

Yup, I did it the other day while at a coffeeshop. Downloaded a new rom and reflashed.
Although it would suck if something went wrong while you were out and about and needed to get to a PC to fix it.

As long as you keep a failsafe rom on your sdcard, you can fix pretty much anything from the recovery console.

Revert from custom recovery image to stock recovery image

I have N1 with FRF83, but with custom recovery image and some other customizations.
Since I can't OTA update to FRF91 or even 85b from custom images, how do I revert back to the stock FRF83 completely?

grab a recovery out of one of the passimg files in the dev section and flash it.

Thanks, but I forgot to mention one thing: I am a complete noob.
If you could say it in English, I'd appreciate it

Screw it, just install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715799

Every forum needs a sticky of the latest build in both update.zip and customrecovery.zip form. This is insane

I agree with what you're saying, but all of the PASSIMG files I've downloaded that are linked in this forum and modaco come up saying that the "Compressed (zipped) file is invalid"
Is there another way to unzip these files?? Can someone post all of the original .img files somewhere so that we dont have to continually **** around with all of this ****.
FFS!

They are normal zip-files that work fine. If they are ok at the source the problem is on your end. I've never had a problem with them.
Try one of those from here. The modaco ones are correct too though.

the PASSIMG.zip files aren't actually zip files, they're "nbh" files. You can't open them up
You just put it on the sd card and boot up into bootloader and it auto loads and recovers back to stock.
Great if you have T-Mobile Nexus One since that's what's out there.
There isn't a working AT&T version that I've found.

You can open them up and extract the contents fine.

Thank you so much for this link. I'm a kind of a noob to this android thing to and I'm learning the hard way.

[GUIDE] Easiest way to unroot HTC Legend

Hi..
I decided to make an "EASY TO USE" unroot guide for the HTC Legend..
Here goes..
First..
If you want to unroot to software version 1.31
... download this file and put it in the root of your SD-card..
- This version can easily be rooted again..
If you want to unroot to software version 2.03
... download this file and put it in the root of your SD-card..
- This version will need a downgrade in order to root phone again..
When the wanted file is on your SD-card turn OFF your phone..
EDIT: *** NB: Reported in that this might not work if SD-card is partitioned with ext-partition. If not working try to use a fat32-only ***
Turn the phone ON while holding VOLUME DOWN..
The phone will detect the LEGEIMG.zip file on the SD-card and
ask you to upgrade..
Select YES.. And wait...
This should do the trick....

Nice and simple. Good work m8.

Good guide. Straight to the point. Keep up the good work.

Is there any way to. Convert the rom. Zip with the ruu to legeimg. Zip
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

Yep... extract ROM.zip from RUU and rename it to LEGEIMG.zip.

Hello,
I'm not familiar yet with rooting.
When this procedure is done, will I have a working Legend device ?
Which rom will it be running ?
How could I "upload" CyanogenMod to this rooted legend ?
I've search the web, but I do not get everything yet...
Thank you for your hep !
Yannick

Thanks for the guide, but it doesn't work for me.
"No image or wrong name!" message appears.
I've tried your first link and my own rom.zip renamed to LEGEIMG.zip .

What's the point to unroot, I'd rather flash a rooted but stock rom if I have to

Something had gone wrong, wipe wasn't working and it kept rebooting so I was forced to... once CM 6.1 Stable releases, I'll root it again.

The point is if you have to return it under warranty.

Can someone help me with this? I keep getting an error. I can't flash the LEGEIMG.zip by reboot & vol dn+power nor by clockwork. Tried downloading the file twice, tried my extracted rom.zip and it just doesn't work.
What else can I do?
Can you post md5 of this zip?

What I did was put the file in the root of the SD Card...
Switch off the Legend and switch it on while having the Volume down button pressed. It flashes automatically.

You honestly believe that there are psychics reading these forums?
What error? Does this error have a name? Does it have a description? Or does it just say:
ERROR
...over the entire screen?
Dammit guys, learn to post some useful information!!! If it ain't working, there's definitely a reason don't you think???

Nice work mate, i gott bored, so i tested your guide, worked like a charm
now it's, back to rooting the phone again

Sorry, I wrote about it on the previous page. This message was kind of stupid bump.
Love you too.
It says 'error' tho, before error messages, so you're right. In green tho.
Something like 'Wrong image!', 'Can't find image'. All about LEGEIMG.zip . It dissapears fast.

One of two problems..
1) You did not put the download in the ROOT of your sd- card or
2) you have renamed the file..
One of these things are causing the error..
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

I'm 100% sure I haven't renamed the file and it's in the root (astro file manager shows it in /mnt/sdcard). If ROOT means sdcard top folder then there it is.
edit: clockwork says "Can't open /sdcard/LEGEIMG.zip (bad)". Hence the request for md5 - but I doubt triple download would cause some inconsistency in file.

I got CID incorect error, what does it mean?

boot.img

Hi Guys,
Sorry for the n00b question, but I've unlocked my Vivid and now I'm trying to setup a ROM on my device Wildchild's Generic build to be exact. The problem I'm having is moving the boot.img folder to my Android folder where my other needed files are. Your help would be appreciated!! When I try to move the folder it says folder is corrupt????

Did you let the file finish downloading before? Try redownloading.

[q] ROM Help

First off, yes i'm a noob
Secondly, i apologise if this is a question that has already been answered but i swear i've been looking for a good while now and can't find the answer.
Thirdly, if this is in the wrong section then i apologise.
Now that i have that out of the way, onto my problem. I have recently purchased an HTC One and I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, i now want to i try out some custom roms. The trouble i seem to be having is that recovery mode requires you to flash a .zip file but whenever i download a rom, the end product is not a zip file but a folder that contains numerous other files that contain no zip file. I have still copied the folder to the phone but when i try to install through TWRP there is no recognisable zip file.
I have even tried converting said folder and files into a zip file and trying to flash that but to no avail.
I am downloading the files on a Mac, i don't know if this bears any relevance but i thought i should mention it.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Which rom are you trying to flash? and if it is downloaded into folders, surely making them into a .zip should make it flashable via recovery? if not then it's a bad rom?

I've tried several ROMs but the latest one I've tried is ViperOne. Well I thought converting it to zip would work also but no.
I never had this issue downloading or flashing ROMs to my Sensation or S2.

hmm not sure, im running rayglobe v 5.1 at the moment, maybe its a bad build? what recovery are you using?

Save link as
What's happening is your browser is unzipping the file instead of just saving it

Thank you very much for that, such a simple solution but its been driving me mad. I'll have a look and see if there is a setting to stop it from unzipping when it finishes downloading.
Thanks guys.
