error "file 'appname.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed a link to http://www.androiddevelopment.org/2009/01/19/signing-an-android-application-for-real-life-mobile-device-usage-installation/ from a thread that I can't seem to find. (yes, i searched)
Anyway, I followed the tut and I keep getting the error "file 'appname.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml".
I'm not sure what the problem is, anyone wanna help?
..I'm on a mac btw, otherwise I'd just follow the pc tuts I've seen that make it just a right-click to sign.

SIMPLE QUESTION

I KNOW SOMETIME I HAVE ANYOING QUESTION SO THIS TIME I HAVE A VERY ONE
WHAT THE POINT OF ALL UPGRADE WHEN YOU CANT SOLVE THE COUNTRY ID PROBLEM AND EACH TIME A NEW UPGRADE COMING OUT WE CANT USING IT BECAUSE IS NO TOOL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
I HOPE SOME SERIOUS ANSWER WILL BE GIVEN
I guess i'll try to answer this one. I can imagine some of the big guys here get sick and tired of ansering the same question over and over... and over... and over... and...
So i'll do my bit and with the very little knowledge i have will try to explain how I fixed it after reading wiki. Maybe some people are just not used to forums and how things work, maybe some people aren't skilled enough with the english language to figure it out themself. Of course, some people are just lazy
1: download the ROM file you want to use. Often rar-ed or zip-ed so extract the .exe file from the compressed file.
2: use winrar to extract the files from the .exe file. (so don't just double click the .exe file, but left button and then extract to "folder name"
3: download this file: ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
4: extract MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip into the same folder you just extracted the files from the .exe file.
5: run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and follow instructions.
Good luck.

Devicedata.txt

Hi,
According to the Wiki, it says that to obtain the Device Info, to execute the
Getdevicedata.exe and it will generate a file called \Windows\Devicedata.txt
Well.. i did that and all i see in Devicedata.txt is "Ph20B"
I am suppossed to see more right ?
hey guys... i think im a lil sleepy... haha...
I saw on the wiki
Warning This is a 3k file and if opened on your device it will truncate after the first word. The file has blanks and unprintable characters in it.
opened it up in notepad and it works fine...
Thanx Anyways....
Remember that you cannot alter device data in TypeII roms, use the MaUpgradeUt_noID file for TypeII roms
i had no intention to alter it

TF3D Config help?

Can someone show me a step by step process on how to install this thing? I download the winrar, and it just shows .xml files, when I click it it shows me a process list of what I should use for the the file. I'm no computer wiz, so I have no idea. I've searched it and can't really find a solution. If you can help, can you include pictures? Maybe even a video.

Please help, Cannot extract the the hard spl for the GSM Rhodium!

Hello, I can download the hard spl just fine, but when I go to extract it windows won't let me. I have windows xp sp3. Ive goolged the problem but I can not find a solution that works, So please, pretty please, can some one help me with this problem?
what kind of an error message are you getting when you say "windows doesnt let you"? are you able to extract other zip files normally? perhaps your download was corrupted and u need to redl the file
The error says " This file is potentially unsafe file type.exe" and then it proceeds to tell me that I shouldn't open the file if its receved from email attachement or an untrusted source. And then it asks if I want to open it any way. So I click yes and i get this message " Winzip was unable to extract (file name here). exe, terminating operation.
The download is good. From what I have read online when googled is that windows thinks its a virus and won't let me extract the file. I've tried some work arounds like emailing it to myself but that doesn't work. It won't even let me open the attachment because it's being flaged as a virus.
I'm wondering if some one can send me the file the unziped. You know, unpacked. That should work from there im hopeing. but anywho, I'm at a loss as is what to do about this. I'm just dieing to try this new rom out but I can't flash my bloody fone. Got any ideas?
Edit.... Yes I can extract and unzip other files normally, sorry forgot to mention that.
Is there any reason not to temporarily dissable your AV software, extract the stuff you need and then reenable it?
this is a known issue where anti viruses report the hardspl as a falsely positive nothing to worry about.. read the flashing guide im sure its somewhere in there. disable ur antivirus and continue, reread the guide; ensure ur battery is charged at least 50% or more. dont forget to reenable ur antivrius later
Please post in the existing thread.
P.S. the answer is already there.
Thanks
Dave

Zip & Xap coruption in windows 8

Zip & Xap coruption in windows 8
I can zip. I can rename to xap and I can send to my phone and it works but when I try and extract I get error this is causeing a lot of headache and is happening on more than one zip file I have tried both versions of 7zip and WinRAR with no avail. searched the internet for days on end I cant figure out why this is happening.
OK, basic bug reporting steps here:
1: summarize the problem. All I got is that it has something to do with zips, xaps, WP8, and Win8.
2: explain what you're trying to do, what the expected result is and what actually happens (the screenshot helps with, but does not replace, this step).
3: give the steps to reproduce the problem. Do it as actual steps, not a run-on sentence with no details. For example, how are you sending the file to your phone?

Okay this really has nothing to do with my phone. other than the fact that zip's can be turned in to xap files.
lets say I have a folder with some pictures in it I right click on it and hit add to archive ok now folder is zipped.
then I try to unpack it but I cant because its corrupted.. I can not extract the file or a pic I get this error.
I Have found only one other person having this error on 7-zip forum and he says in only one post he fixed an error he was having with his zip by turning off IDM. I honestly don't see how that's related.
I have lost files due to this error.
If you copy the file off the PC, can you open the archive on another machine?

OK so.
I take a folder, 7zip it to .zip
renamed .zip to .xap
Extracted file just fine, windows 8 x64 pro.
Soooooooooooooooooooo...update your 7zip?
Not even sure why you're asking this in a phone forum, but did it work to extract the files on another machine? The fact that sending XAPs to the phone wors suggests that the problem is with the decompressor on your PC, not the compressor.
