......Android opens .apks, you would need androzip to extract a zip file. Linda will only open .apks to install..
Nicely done, as usual.
Would this guide be the same if I was using Super D as the rom?

No need to panic. As long as you can access the Blue Android Logo, you are fine.
Please list, step by step, what you did (including ROM Version Numbers).
Also - you might want to try flashing/wiping your phone. That seems to take care of many issues, but I'd still like to see what you did.

Hi all,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S I9000, but I don't have the stock Live Wallpapers.
Now I wanna install/do this:
"First place SamsungLWP.zip on the root of your SDcard (plug your phone into your computer and transfer the samsungLWP.zip to your phone's sdcard)
1. Go into rom manager and reboot into recovery
2. scroll down to install zip from sd card and press the power button
3. scroll down choose zip from SD card again hit power button
4. highlight signed SamsungLWPs.zip
5. Hit power button
6. Go back until you get to the reboot option I think back twice Reboot phone
7. go to personalize in setting options select htc wallpapers select live wallpapers and pick one to enjoy one"
I can't do the 2nd step, because there is no choice to select 'install zip from sd card'.
Can anybody help me?
I've got the stock rom (Froyo) and the phone is rooted.
Help would be appreciated
Koen
nobody?, I really need this now
did you fetch cwm?
The instructions assume you have CWM recovery (or a similar tool) on your phone.
In order to install programs in this manner you have to get CWM recovery. (search for rom manager in market and flash cwm (it's the first option from the top),
then again, I'm assuming you're getting this since you're still on 3e (the recovery most galaxy s phones come with). What I'd like you to do is get your phone into recovery mode and tell me what the very first line on the top says.
Hi,
The first line says: 'Android system recovery <3e>'
theres your problem you need recovery 2e
search for CWM in either update.zip or Flashable Odin version like cf-root.
if you get the update.zip version you need to put it on the root of your internal sd card, boot into recovery and select apply:update.zip you will need to do this twice... then CWM will appear and let you flash unsigned zip files.
if you use odin version just flash it in download mode and when you next boot you will have 2e recovery.
I just fixed it, I did put the 'data/app' folder onto my phone, and installed it, and it worked.
Thx everyone
There's your problem
You currently do not have the option to install (most) zip files from recovery. If you do want this option it is very possible and not too complicated(although this might void warranty) please read the forum guide on how to get CWM (clockworkmod)
I'm having a similar problem, but azzledazzle's suggestion left me a little baffled. I've got rom manager installed, Clockworkmod flashed and all that good stuff, but I'm still not able to install new roms. Now, I'm just about to try recovery mode, and...
Yes, 3e.
But how do I find a 2e thingie? Imagine I'm a gigantic moron who can put things in folders, but that's about it. I apologise for the pathetic help request, but if there's anyone...
Any help guys?thanks

Hello There,
I can do the first step in the Android system recovery with the ClockWorkRec5830i.zip and that loads up fine but when I go into clockworkmod recovery I dont have the option to "apply update from sdcard", only "install zip from sd", I tried this option and selected "CWM 5.0.2.6" but I get a "E: Error in /sdcard/clock work recovery/CWM5.0.2.6.zip (Status7)" error message.
Can you help, what am I doing wrong, thanks for your help.

Hello There,
I can do the first step in the Android system recovery with the ClockWorkRec5830i.zip and that loads up fine but when I go into clockworkmod recovery I dont have the option to "apply update from sdcard", only "install zip from sd", I tried this option and selected "CWM 5.0.2.6" but I get a "E: Error in /sdcard/clock work recovery/CWM5.0.2.6.zip (Status7)" error message.
Can you help, what am I doing wrong, thanks for your help.

Try redownloading the file.
I have redownloaded the file and replaced on SD card but still get the same problem. Should I be installing the "CWM 5.0.2.6" file in the clockwork mod part(yellow text) or the Android recovery mode (orange text) part?
So frustrating, Im obviously doing something wrong!
p.s if I try to apply in the android update from from sdcard I get a status 2 error.

Tips: brush the CWM, in the use of " backup and restore " in the " Restore" option please don't restore other backup, which can restore the recovery backup, or it may cause not starting. Cause I have something in system Recovery. Remember!!!
Awesome Work

Oh my god
First of all, which device model have you? GT-S5830 or GT-S5830i?
It's not normal, can you boot into recovery mode?
Edited: "Backup ROM" step 5
I follow this guide (using a samsung ace GT-S5830) and there is a difference in "Backup ROM" step 5 for me.
Backup ROM
1. You need ClockWorkMod download V.5.0.2.6 Here.
2. Copy ClockWorkMod to your SD Card. - Make sure you have the right Drivers, for your device to connect to the PC.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Press Home + Power. - Press home first and hold it.
5. You will get to the stock recovery, Select flash a Zip. ***
6. After the flashing is completed select "Reboot the Device".
7. Press and hold Home + Power again. - This time the Recovery will look a bit different, more features.
8. Select "Backup/Restore".
9. And then "Backup". - This takes a while, go drink a cup of joe.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*** For me there is no "Select flash a Zip" option, so I Selected "Update from sdcard", and then Selected the file "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip".
Also, when my device booted, I opened the ClockWorkMod app and I make a backup from inside app.
The CWM V.5.0.2.6 is much better of the official. Smooth and problems free.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II and I tried to get my phone back to stock ROM following this directions:
"1. Connect your device to your PC and copy uvlg3.flash2stock.zip to your internal SD.
2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do this,
i. Power down your devi ce.
ii. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons until you see the Samsung logo appear.
iii. Release both buttons.
iv. Press the left bottom Menu capacitive button when you see the Recovery logo (white box with the android icon).
3. On the next screen, select apply update from sdcard using the Volume Up and Down buttons to navigate and the Home button to select.
4. Highlight uvlg3.flash2stock.zip on the next screen and press the Home button to select it.
5. Go back to previous menu and select reboot system now to restart your device."
It all seemed to work fine but in step 4, when i applied the update from sd card it appears in yellow:
E: short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip(no space left on device)
Installation aborted.
As you can figure, im desperated!! so please if someone could help!!!
THANKS

I did all that, the CWM doesnt appear now, im in the android system recovery <3e> and my options are the foollowing:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sd card(here is the stock rom but when i apply it it doesnt work because of "insuficent space"
-wipe data/factory reset(did that already)
-wipe cache partition(did that already)
-install fota(dont know what it is but i did it anyway).
Thanks for the reply
aditional info
when i reboot my phone and press down the volume i appear in odin mode, it gives me 2 choices: reboot or download mode, if i enter the download mode it appears:
ODIN HOME

Do not turn off target!
There is an alternative way to enter recovery, just pull your battery, hook up the usb cable (ummm phone to pc), press and hold the volume up button then drop in the battery. When you see recovery start let go of the volume button.
You can mount your computer through cwm or twrp recovery an move the stock rom from your pc to your external sd. Do full wipes before flashing (any ROM in my opinion)
Sounds like you need to put the .zip on ext_sd, then wipe your internal sd, or manually delete all of the files. Something is eating all of the space. You might want to put the custom recovery back on it, CWM or TWRP, then wipe it all and reflash the zip, then reboot.
