Help with manual install of cupcake

Ok probably nobody has noticed but this link is down:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip
I cannot find the update for non custom firmware phones and I am tired of waiting for OTA. Anybody have the file?

so just root and download a custom rom and install that. it takes a grand total of 20 minutes.

Thank you so much!
Umm.. it was rooted and now I am going back.

how to
need instructions on how to execute this

1. rename the file to update.zip (make sure thats all, not update.zip.zip. for example, if youre looking at it on your desktop and all it says is "TMO cupcake", do not rename it update.zip, just rename it update.)
2. put the update.zip on your SD card (NOT IN A FOLDER)
3. Reboot your phone into recovery mode (power off then hold home+power)
4. when you see a screen wits a triangle on it, you're there. open your keyboard and hit alt+s. when it finishes, it should automatically reboot. if not, you can reboot manually.
5. you're updated to cupcake. enjoy.

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.

currently using superE, i have used ALL the current builds with the exception of superHero. went NAND about a week ago. wanting to be able to USE some of the themes- is there an installer? or how do they work?

1) Find the theme you wish to download and, well, download it. The file downloaded needs to be in a .tar format (usually called androidupdate.tar).
2) Take the androidupdate.tar file and put it in the ANDBOOT folder on your SD card.
3) Soft reset your phone and hold down the center button on the d-pad during boot to get to the menu.
4) Select Option 4 - Install Update.
5) Let the installer do it's thing. When it is completed you will be brought back to the installer menu.
6) Soft reset the phone once more and enjoy your new theme.
That should do it for you!

ok now i am just bamboozled.... i know i am not the most knowledgeable at this but aren't these the same directions to load a new android rom? not trying to be combative just thoroughly confused by now.
thanks again

Installing a ROM would be Option 1 - Install System.
Themes are applied via Option 4. When you select #4 the installer unpacks the androidupdate.tar file and overwrites existing files on your phone's NAND to apply the theme. If you choose install system (#1) it wipes the phone and uses a file called androidinstall.tar to reinstall (different file from androidupdate.tar).
So, basically once you install your ROM on NAND all updates, themes, etc will be need to be installed via Option 4.

Itd be a good idea to add this to the FAQ- I didnt know this either

thanks for the help much apprecited

Hmm the "placehere" folder is missing from my zip for some-reason. Regardless these are the steps u shud take :
1. Extract zip
2. U shud have (7za.exe,RunMe.bat,signapk.jar,testkey.pk8,testkey.x509.pem)
3. make a folder called "placehere"
4. Create folders inside as per need (refer to video for that)
5. Run the script
6. U'll end up with a zip where u just need to extract the zip and run the script inside.
I just tested it and i don't have an empty zip, try again and let me know.

I just told someone today this wasnt possible... thank you sir...

go to the root of your directory
then go to data folder
then again go to data folder
find a folder named "com.adobe.flash player"
then go to lib folder and paste there
if the files are not able to be pasted move the flash player to internal memory

hmm does this work well in mini? anyone tested

Yeah, It's says "application not installed" for me as well. What now?
