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] Can't copy files on or off of phone

I get this error:

I've tried setting my phone to r/w and r/o over and over again in Root Explorer, but no luck. I have no idea what to do. I could format, but I'm not sure if that would work and I would really like to keep all my files.

Which rom is running? Which o/s on the computer? Which storage on the phone?
There was trouble with SD card in the Vibrant ASOP ish JK2 1.1 thread Vibrant Thread search

Darkyy's 5.2 captivate ROM on Windows 7. Not sure what you mean by which storage, but every file is affected. I've been searching for a while with no results :-/

I need to upgrade badly. I'm having problems with getting calls now, too. Some files can be copied onto my computer fine, but many of them give me "Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect."

that's my zip package. it has
odin 1 click stock
Clockwork Mod Update Zip
xcals kernel
the new modem jl3
and nexus s live wallpaper.
zippox180 said:
i decided to make a zip that includes the odin 1 click to stock, a cwm update zip that can be put on the sd card and installed by booting into recovery and selecting reinstall packages, the jl3 modem, xcals 2.2.1 kernel and the nexus s live wallpaper which can be installed by placing the LiveWallpaper.apk into system/app.
This is not one big whole flashable zip. it is a zip that includes what seems like the most common items i could think of in one folder so you dont have to search. i hope this is helpful for some.
Odin 1 click-open the odin file first, then put your phone in download mode and start the one click
CWM update.zip-copy to internal sd card, 3 button combo into recovery,reinstall packages(might take a few times)
jl3 modem- flash with CWM, boot cwm recovery, select install zip from sd card,choose zip and select the jl3update
xcals 2.2.1 kernel- flash with CWM, boot cwm recovery, select install zip from sd card,choose zip and select the kernel zip
LiveWallpaper Nexus s- move copy livewallpaper.apk to internal sd and move to system/app via root explorer or something of that sort
Again hope this helps somebody

this will get you back to stock and you can then copy the cwm update zip. and install the rom of your choice although i would stay away from the one that gave you problems.

Awesome, thanks! I'll start getting my phone fixed when I get home from work. I don't think there's anything else I can do to get my files copied over, but I can probably just back them up on my phone somehow.

[Q] Installing custom roms

Hi,
I'm trying to install custom roms on my Milestone and have hit a brick wall.
I've looked at and followed the Instructions threads (rooted & did a nandroid backup) and they refer to having to apply an "update.zip" file in Open Recovery to actually get the cutom rom. Problem is that I've downloaded both CM7 and Miui rom files but when I unzip them they don't have an update.zip file in them.
They just have the following
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img (img file)
Question is... How do I flash these files to apply the custom rom?
(Can't ask questions in the development part of the forum as I don't have 10 posts yet)
Thanks

anyone?

well, just know it from xrecovery (come from the x10 mini pro) and AFAIK the zip you extracted already was the update.zip - rename downloaded zipfile to update.zip, then flash it

k thanks dude.

the file does not need to be called update.zip. it is a generic term for the format of "update"
simply put the CM7 zip file in the openrecovery\updates folder subfolder of your sdcard.
you should then be able to see the file in the update menu of your recovery.

[Q]I9001 Battery mod

Hello everyone,
Can someone please inform and post a thread link of a battery mod that works on the i9001? By battery mod I mean small zip file that is installed from recovery and changes the stock battery meter

You can make it yourselt.
1. Use Root Explorer to get your framework-res.apk file
2. Go to http://uot.dakra.lt/ to customize it yourselt.
3. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707 to download the Root-i9001-Signed.zip
4. Put the modified framework-res.apk in the above zip file and delete the unneeded files.
5. Update the updater-script file, resign the zip file.
6. Flash the zip file in recovery.

If you use manveru0's kernal and recovery you can now flash the update files as they come from the kitchen

Firmware version : 2.3.4
baseband version I9001XXKP4
Kernel Version : [email protected] #7

I use Go launcher (from my opinion it's the best), if you think otherwise please post the better launcher, I am opened to experiment others.
Many thanks,

I don't have a I9001XXKP4 Rom in my hard drive. If you can send your your framework-res.apk, I can make one for you.

hey guys!
just used this. twice great kitchen, really revamped some of the more boring icons on stock roms. thanks for the tip!!

1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_signed.zip is the file that I updated the updater-script so you can flash it in the in-build recovery.
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_original_signed.zip is your original file. If there are any issues, you can flash it back in the in-build recovery.
How to:
Copy the zip file to the internal SD card, not the external one, go to recovery, flash it.

urm, Ive tried to do as you told in post number 2(by cooking it according to my own preference)
but my problem starts from step number 5
5. Update the updater-script file, resign the zip file.

I already received the cooked file
but I dont know how to change the update script and end up failing to update using the zip file.
can you please help me?
or link me to a place that really can help me to learn better on changing the update script.

try this one, I updated the updater-script, you can compare it with the one from kitchen.
PS: Forgot to update the update-binary file, now try the new one. It should work.

Thanks!!!! But I got an error that states
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 2)
I wonder whats wrong.
looked in a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194245&page=3
and from what I understand it seems to be a problem with the update binary. But Im just an end user and this is too much for me.
anyway maybe Ill try to flash the cranium ROM and try to cook again a new one and use your update script.
cheers!!

Hi,
Is there any posibility to change framework-res.apk file without CWM? I don't want to instal CWM becouse of it has a problem with front side cam and I need this cam. It's can't be overwritten when the phone works. Maybe some adb and push command is possible.
Could you help me by describing the whole procedure? Sorry for my English.

@quest221
Can you maybe make one for Android 2.3.5 like the screenshot @ page 1?
I have baseband I9001XXKPF, Build XXKPG

I update the zip file with the new update-binary file.

Yes, I just use the recovery from Samsung, not the third-party.
Check the post #2, that's the steps. Also replace the update-binary file with the one in my zip file.

[Q] Rooted - should ROM Manager be next?

I have recently rooted my Optimus 2x (P990) and am now thinking of trying ROM Manager. I have seen remarks that ROM Manager can be confused because the P990 mounts its internal storage as /sdcard so will it be safe to try ROM Manager to install CWM Recovery?
I have read quite a lot of posts but most of them seem to be rather old and software in this field seems to change very quickly.

Yes. Install CWM from Rom manager and then flash this CWM through rom managers CWM. Rusty's CWM will be able to work with both memorys.

I've had a look at that and I see that there are two .img files in there with various other files. Am I supposed to use just the image files? Do I use both of them? Otherwise what do I do with the .zip file?

That file aren't flashable in cwm? In short you need to nvflash it. Pc needs drivers. When all ready open a command line and run the install-ext-cwm-windows.bat. Trym Hansen have a great tread with detailed instructions how to root and flash cwm, search for it

So sorry, I misposted wrong version. Right is here and it is flushable.

Thank you for the correction.
I see that the contents of this zip are totally different from the previous zip so what do I do with the new zip. Is it just the .img file that is to be copied over the .img file in the previous zip?
Edit: Sorry! I've just realised I use ROM Manager to flash the image directly don't I?
