You are posting in the wrong forum section. Thread has been reported.
The files you download usually don't need to be unpacked. Just rename them to update.zip and apply the updates through the recovery mode. Some recovery roms, such as Cyanogens or Amon_RAs, has an option of picking a specific .zip file, not called update.zip. Also most ROM builders provide MD5 sums of their ROMs so you can check yourself whether your download is corrupt or not. I suggest you trying to verifying that.
1. Your G1 is a Dream not a sapphire.
2. The development forums are for posting development threads. Any questions go into the Q&A forum.
3. Are you trying to flash a Hero based ROM? (I'm guessing you don't have the correct SPL.)
What types of files? are they roms?

I read the wiki and all the other stuff that I was supposed to before I tried to flash a ROM.
I am stuck on a step and could use some help. I downloaded the ROM to my cpu. I noticed it was a .rar file, so i also downloaded winrar so I could open it.
Execute the .exe file you downloaded with the ROM. (If the ROM you downloaded only comes with an nbh file, download the CustomRUU for the Kaiser here. Put KaiserCustomRUU.exe and you nbh in the same directory and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe)

I cant get past this step. Can someone please advise.
don't know why u would get stuck ...
create new folder and place the .nbh and kaisercustomruu.exe in same folder on pc. make sure phone connected to pc via active sync and connection is established (icon turns green in actuve sync). now run the kaisercustomruu.exe from pc and let the action began.
p.s. i do sincerely hope u flashed hardspl onto ur device be4 flashing. don't know what that is? plz stop flashing and read wiki again for ur sake.
People just don't read. Did you try extracting the contents in Winrar to your desktop?
I did the hardspl already.
when i try to extract the folders it asks me for a password.

passwords are usually located on the first or second post of the rom you are trying to flash.
Found it. thanx!
Mod Note: This question should have been posted in the thread specific to the Rom you downloaded in the ROM Development Forum.
New thread for existing issue is a no-no.
Sorry Mods if posting in the wrong place. just a question......
I've Hard SPL'd my T-Mo Wing and have been trying different ROMS, problem is a couple of them after downloading are listed as a "file", for example: WP7_RUU 1st. It's not a zip file, 7z, rar, .nbh or anything else that I can unzip or open or xfer to the update utility to flash.
I've already flashed 4-5 ROMs already with no problems. I also know in some cases you can "change the file type". Is this an SD install file ? Bad download ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone steer me in the right direction ? Thanks....
does anyone know if there is a apk file or something so i could flash the my files app on my cappy that usually come on the cappy with the official firmwares? i just need some kind of file to do that because i dont like astro and es file manager, etc. even a link to somewere where this has been done before would help, thanks.
I don't have an answer for you, just a recommended alternative in case you cannot find My Files.
I put Dual File Manager on every rom I try.
View attachment MyFiles.apk
here is
I promise nothing
ok mabye not, i meant a .tar file so i can flash with odin3
sorry about that
Why did you just open a new thread for that???
Take this apk and follow any of the ways i described in that thread....and in the future DON'T OPEN NEW THREADS FORE THE SAME THING!
sorry, then how do i do that with the apk file? like how do i make that a tar file or something to flash it with odin
Check your other thread...i listed 3 options.
Is there another place I can find the 3.04.651.2 RUU zip other than on here, because the post that has it doesn't work I get Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged. The person who posted the file hasn't fixed it yet either. I already did a google search the only other place was Android Central, but it has the exact same broken file as on here so I'm completely stuck as I can't just take a non-RUU and put it on my phone through fastboot, because it fails at the signature check.

Download it from the (VT) Mirror #10
http://m10.androidfilehost.com/download.php?fid=23203820527945238
It downloaded just fine and the MD5 Checksum verified.
Thank you for trying, but I still get the message: Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged when I go to extract the file from the zip.
Have you looked here?

if u are getting this msg on every download, then clearly the trouble is on your end, as it has been verified by many to extract fine...try a different pc

Thank you for the suggestion to try it on another computer, I was able to extract the zip and complete what I needed to do.
I've got a phone that may or may not be totally frakked due to careless build.prop modding and have been asked to try and recover it without wiping, OS flashing, or any other methods that could potentially lead to a wipe. ADB is a no-go, but I've got CWM access. I've never needed to make a CWM-flashable *.zip before, so I never learned how. I'm crunched for time and could really just use a break. Could somebody please put this build.prop into a CWM-flashable *.zip for me?
i new user, how i can upload my build prop
I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks in advance!
i must get 10 post.. jeez..
Hi, try to use Aroma File Manager. With it you can copy your new build.prop to the appropriate location.
To use the file manager, simply download it to your computer, copy it onto your phone through recovery and then when you are in recovery go for flash zip and choose the file you downloaded.
