[Q] Update.Zip

So I accidentally deleted this file. Are there any links to DL another one around here? Sorry if I put this in the wrong area...

So I found the file, tried to re-root but can't seem to find why it won't work. Then I deleted the file attempting to return to a stock state in my SD card. But when I try to use the One Click Root it has an issue with the update.zip file...

Sorry, I'm not sure what that means...

How did you go about rooting in the first place? One click root?
If so, grab the root.zip file from wherever you extracted it, stick it on your internal sd card and rename it to update.zip- and just because I'm feeling extra generous tonight, I've attached said root.zip
(This one is a couple versions old, but it should update through the market after you apply it)

[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?

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

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] help flashing rom captivate

im trying to flash paragon rc5. i follow the instructions, but when i go to choose sd card... and click on paragon.zip as file to use in clockwordmod recovery manager, it loads okay, then says replacing recovery manager and reboots. what did i do wrong?

To flash rom you should boot into recovery, select ingersoll zip from sd, choose zip, select parogon, confirm, done

Well when i do, it acts like its going to install, but then says "replacing recovery manager with clockwork..." then exits and reboots into the normal recovery screen.
Each time i get into recovery it is the normal one. I have to go to reinstall packages to get to the clockworkmod one. Something tells me thats not right.
Could this have happened because i installed rom manager and it didnt say i needed it?

Sounds like you are flashing an update.zip to get clock work recovery. i think you need to confirm you downloaded the correct file

What happened was i installed rom manager, got recovery manager through it, then downloaded paragon and its update.zip file. So am i basically flashing the recovery manager right now?

Sounds like it, are you on stock?
Paragon rom zip should be like 170mb in size

Rooted, but otherwise stock. Have already wiped all my data on it in preparation.
What im trying to do is this- have update.zip and paragon.zip in main internal sd folder. Go into recovery---reinstall---then it loads clockwork, then go to from sd---choose--- and if i pick paragon.zip it still does it.

let me clarify this, basically you do not need rom manager here.
1. download the update.zip and put it in your sdcard root folder;
2. download the rom file (170mb one) and put it in your sdcard; not necessary to be the root folder;
3. suppose you are on the stock rom; shut down your phone and use key combo to get into recovery mode;
4. apply the changes (i remember it is the second option), you may need to do it twice. you should now be in the cwm;
5. use the menu in the cwm to browse and install the rom file
6. reboot your phone. done.

Boot phone up normally. Delete paragon file you have. Redownload. Like I said the file should be like 170mb.

Update.zip goes in the root folder? Where is that? I couldnt find it anywhere....
The file is about 170mb. I know thats correct, im thinking since i had already installed cwm i moght have screwed up.

when you select reinstall packages you should go into green recovery/clockwork recovery.
If that works boot phone, open rom manager, select install rom from sd, select paragon

check the attached file.

Thats the update.zip i have. Now where do i put the damn thing?

Your internal sd card. Dl to phone, go to my files app, open dl folder find file select copy, click paste. Should now be where you need it

[q] no 'root' folder on sdcard on milestone

Hi,
I'm using a motorola milestone. My problem is that to apply any update or even root the phone (as it is recommended) i dont have a folder named 'root'. please help me. i want to install cm7.
thanks in advance.

There IS no folder called "root" on your SD card. The root of your SD card is what you see when you use memory card access to access to see your SDcard from a PC. It's called root as in the root of a tree. Think of all the folders/directories as branches of a tree. As you move into directories, you are moving away from root.
Assuming you've installed Openrecovery, you should have a folder called Openrecovery on your SD card. Inside that you should find one called update. It is in here that you need to put the CM7 update file that ends in .zip
Then, you boot into OpenRecovery (instructions will be on the page where you downloaded Openrecovery), and then you will have a menu option to apply updates...

Can't flash(open) Custom ROMs

Hey there =)
I'm a proud owner of a Optimus 2x. I've rooted my phone and flashed the "stock rom" ( From this topic) and downloaded 2 Custom ROMs ( Thisone and another one from a dutch forum).
However, when I go to CWM and do a Backup and complete wipe, when I wan't to flash the rom (as said how to do it in the topics) I get things like this:
"Finding udate package. . .
Opening update package. . .
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)
Toggle signature verification: on/off
Toggle script asserts: on/off
I tried all possible options.
When I got the signature verification ON, then CWM says the signature is not verified
I worked with both V10A and V10B, both don’t work
What do I do wrong?

Try to select zip file from SD Card. If you have renamed the ROM to update.zip this should work fine, if that's the case the update.zip is corrupted.

I’ve already tried that to, doesn’t work. I suppose that a ‘’physical’’ MicroSD means one you can touch, so a real one (I got one and placed the ROMs on the MicroSD). I also tried making the .zip files a ‘’Read Only’’. I just keep getting the same screen that it doesn’t work.
And is there also a difference between a NANDROID backup and the backup I do in CWM?

Yes, you need a physical SD card. See if it gets mounted in CWM. Nandroid backup is the backup you do from the backup/restore menu in CWM.
If you keep getting the same screen you have not selected the zip file that contains the ROM. Your CWM is looking for update.zip that should reside on the root of your physical SD card. If you select choose zip you can navigate to the rom zip file you downloaded.

How can I check if it gets mounted in CWM? I can find the update.zip (I renamed the zip file myself to update.zip) When I check in Astro I go to "sdcard/_ExternalSD" and there is on the root of the external SD the update.zip package..
However, I've done a backup back to the standard rom and now I see the LGE-Version is back to LGP990-V10a. Here are all my specs:
Basebandversion: 1035.21_20110223
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Buildnumber: FRG83G
LGE: LGP990-V10a .
Can you maybe explain to me step by step how I can do a custom rom again? I think I have to start from scratch again?

First off, if you install MCR Fr12 then go and update your baseband to the newest one. Follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
Download the MCR Fr12 again to ensure that it's not corrupted, check the MD5 of the zipfile and compare it with the one stated in the first post.
Put the zipfile on the external SD card, no need to rename it.
Reboot into CWM, and (not having my phone here, so maybe I don't remember the exact phrases) advanced menu/toggle signature check off and wipe all data (cache/user/dalvik)
install zip from SD card (not apply update.zip) and navigate to the downloaded rom and press power to select it. This should install MCR Fr12 without problems.
Hope it helps.
Edit: Are you able to browse the SD from CWM ? If not try formatting the SD card in your PC as FAT(32).

I haven't done it this way before, so I'm gonna check it out
And I think I'm able to browse the SD from CWM, because when I do ''Install zip from SD card" i can navigate trough the maps I created and the update file is on the root. I will try this asap ! I hope this works thx
edit: How can I check the MD5 of the zipfile?

The: E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)
can refer to a corrupted update.zip so try and download it again

So that means that all the 4 different times I downloaded the file it has gone corrupted?

Try searching for winMd5SumPortable, nice tool to check MD5 sums.

Well it might refer to a corrupted download
What is the size of the file after you downloaded it?
Also regarding checking MD5 i use a program called HashTab.
It's a a small program that adds a tab when you check a files properties.
EDIT: also that error can also just be it looks for a file called update.zip but can't find it.
In windows you might see the file as update.zip but in reality it's called update.zip.zip and that also courses that error.
If you haven't renamed it, then choose install zip from SD card instead of install update.zip in CWM and then select the file

And still it doesn't work. I've checked the MDA on the file where I downloaded it to, then it's correct. However, as soon as I copy/paste or cut/paste the file to my MicroSD root, the MDA doesn't match anymore. Can that be the reason?

I might have the solution. When I do a full wipe via CWM, the base version goes back to V10a, maybe that is the solution. I will download the file directly to the MicroSD right now. I let you guys know if its working
Edit: omfg, I found out, I think it's working right now. I formatted and mounted the MicroSD via CWM, copied the file to the MicroSD and the MD5 was now still the same. Right at this moment my phone is writing it to the system. So it was probably the MicroSD not correctly formatted or such... Thx for all the help guys
