Rooting for the average Joe.. Laymans terms - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
go to the above link and download the latest version of this app called SuperOneClick. The newest version should be at the bottom. download the program to your computer. Unzip the file and extract whats inside. Once this is done open the folder where the files have been extracted to and run the application that says SuperOneClick. In there you should click the first button which says ROOT. Let the program run and do its thing.
if you do not get any errors.. restart your phone.. there should be a couple of new apps there.. one being superuser and another being ROM manager. both are very important. you should now be rooted! (basically same as jailbreaking iphone, or unlocking any phone)
If ROM manager isnt there, go into the market and download the free version. once this is downloaded open the application and in there you will see a button (first button up top) that says "flash ClockWorkMOD recovery". If that tells you that the recovery image has been flashed you are good to go!
certain things are going to ask you for superuser permissions.. a black screen will pop up asking for these permissions.. always click yes... and make sure the remember box IS checked that way it will only ask you once not every time you access that program.
SECOND: You should download a ROM of your choice. i chose to go with bugless beast rom. it is awesome. if you want this ROM you can go to this link ( http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...bugless-beast-v0-6-2-1-gingerbread-froyo.html ) and click one of the mirrors to download. this file will also be in the form of a zip file download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. the name of the file is "frg83dv062.zip" ... once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take 30 seconds to a few mins) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.
This will start you in recovery mode.
in recovery mode you will see a list of options:
reboot now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
nandroid
partition menu
advance
using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the file frg83dvo62.zip. click ok. and it will give you a list with like 10 things that say no n 1 that says yes. click yes. n let it do its thing. once this is done go back and click reboot now. it will take a few mins to load on the reboot because its a total change in looks and framework so let it do its thing.
NEXT: setting up for some optimum speed tweaks.
download a kernel. my kernel i chose to go with is p3droids low voltage 1200 kernel but you can choose any one you want. this can be found here: http://www.p3designs.info/kernels/ .. download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. again plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take a few seconds) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.
This will start you in recovery mode.
in recovery mode you will see a list of options:
reboot now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
nandroid
partition menu
advance
using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the 125-1200-v32kernel.zip file. click ok and then scroll to yes. this will install a new kernel. aka make the phone faster and have better battery life.
restart phone normally.
last thing you really need is a program called setCPU which will change things with the kernel making it either faster or slower. click this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419 ) scroll to the bottom of the original post and download the latest versionn.. setCPU v2.10.0.zip.. download it to your computer. open it!.. inside you will find a file that has an ending of .apk. again plug your phone into your computer and open to view files. click the file ending in .apk and drag it to your sd card INTO A FOLDER NAMED downloads. once done unplug and you are good to go. a couple good applications you can use to navigate through your sd card are es file manager or astro file manager both available for free in the market. This will allow you to look through all of you files on your sd card. go into whichever program you prefer and go to the downloads folder. click on the setCPU apk and it will popup saying either browse file or open app manger. click open app manager and then click install.
once this is installed you can set it up like this: it will ask you for superuser permission click yes.
once it is opened it may give you the options to autodetect device. if not hit the menu button on your phone and hit device selection scroll down to autodetect device. it will detect your kernel. You can set the options however you want but i set the options up like this:
max :900000
min:125000
scaling: ondemand
set on boot CHECKED
click profiles: check the box for enable
click add profile
profile: screen off
max: 500
min:125
profile: battery <30%
max: 700
min: 125
profile: temp >40degrees Celsius
max: 500
min: 125
next go to advanced tab
click set on boot box.
sampling rate: 100000
Up threshold: 90
ignore nice load: 0
powersave bias: 0
restart the phone and you should be golden!
Any questions feel free to ask and ill try my best to answer.

Works!
Confirmed working on FRG83G (2.2.2)
However, it was necessary to install motorola drivers first (www.motorola.com/support)

I need to add this post to my favorites. Now that I have finished experimenting on Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro, Motorola Droid is my next "victim."

This is great. This is my first time doing something like this. Been considering it heavily. Now this makes it real easy. Can someone recommend overclock settings for Moto Droid?
Edit: never mind. guess i cant read very well. see his recommended settings. but I guess I would still like to ask what overclock settings everyone else is using. are his good, or should I go higher. Already notice it runs a good amount faster which was my huge complaint about the Droid since the 2.2 update.
Also. had issues installing the custom ROM, just installed the kernel. Read in other places about having to clear data/cache at some point. not exactly sure at which point to do this, could someone help me? because I tried to reboot it after installing it and is just sat loading for at least 15-20 mins before I had to pull the battery. The guide says it takes a few minutes, but I know it doesnt take That long.

Finally getting around to doing this and found out that the clockworkmod isn't available for 2.1 anymore. Anyone got an old .apk that I can install (the new version gives me the parse error)?

sweet thx!!!!

Easiest Step-By-Step Android Tutorial for the Vogue (NAND Method/Internal Memory)

I have created this post because I was honestly baffled by the NAND install threads for the Vogue that I found, that claimed to be "straightforward" and simple, but the people who wrote them leave a lot of gaps that you have to figure out. Perhaps they have been doing it for so long now, that they just 'assume' you will know stuff, so here are step-by-step instructions for someone who has zero experience with Android, and all they know is that they have a Window mobile phone.
So, Here is the NAND install process (will install Android to your internal memory, which is much better than running from the SD card) for the HTC Vogue (240x320), CDMA or GSM. I believe this is the most straightforward tutorial on this entire site, and all files you need are provided in this post; no file-hunting necessary like with other tutorials. Keep in mind, this process will wipe your internal memory and replace it with Android, so you should backup any personal files you have stored on the phone. If you have a CDMA phone (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) then you should make sure to backup your Contacts using a 3rd party program. GSM phones however (ATT, T-Mobile, etc.), typically store their contacts to a SIM card, which is not altered by this process. You do not need to backup your SD card, since it is also not altered when installing Android.
Dependencies: This process works for any ROM release that provides an "androidinstall.tar" file in their download package.
First and foremost, make sure you have unlocked your phone ("2.31 CoKe" HardSPL for CDMA Vogues). If you have ever flashed a custom Windows ROM from this site or ppcgeeks.com, to your device, then you most likely already have an unlocked phone. If not, perform the steps HERE first, before continuing AND flash to a custom Windows Mobile ROM (non-stock) and make sure your phone is provisioned (you can get and receive calls), and that you can use data (if you have a data plan).
1. Wipe your SD card, and make sure it is formatted FAT32
2. Create a new folder in the root of the SD card called "andboot"
3. Download the ROM release package of your choice (for example, you can download the 240x320 version of Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010] HERE)
4. Extract files from STEP 3 and put ONLY the "androidinstall.tar" file in the andboot folder on the SD card, by itself (no other files are needed)
5. You are DONE putting files on your SD card. At this point, put the SD card into your phone.
6. Download the latest NBH file that begins with "voguimg-240x320-..." (needed for all Vogue Android ROMs): HERE
7. Download the RUU Update Utility (needed for all Vogue Android ROMs): HERE
8. Rename the NBH file to from STEP 6 to "RUU_signed.nbh" and place it inside the folder with all the other files from STEP 7
9. Now, put your Vogue in bootloader mode: Hold down power, camera, and the small reset hole (with your stylus), until you see the tri-color screen, and it says "Serial" at the bottom
10. Plug your phone into your computer, and the "Serial" text should change the "USB"
11. Now, run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from STEP 7, and click the "Next" or "OK" buttons to go through the flash/ROM update process, until your phone shows a progress bar on its screen and is updating.
12. As soon as that progress bar finishes the phone will automatically reboot; at this point unplug the phone from the computer
13. Now, watch carefully during the Linux boot process...there will be a quick message that says "Hold down Volume Up or D Pad". Just press and hold the center D-Pad button until you see the screen change to the installer menu. If you happen to miss it, and it continues loading, then just use your stylus to press the reset button (it will not hurt the phone or any files to try again as many times as you need to.)
14. You will now see a black and white menu. Select option 1, to "Install..."
15. Select "Yes" on the recommended prompt that follows
16. Once it says the Install process is complete and it returns you to the menu, just reboot your phone with the reset button
17. At this point just WAIT. Do NOT press the volume up button again, and do not do anything until you see the Android desktop. You may get an error saying that it could not find a file or something like that, but just ignore it...do not get impatient! Pretty soon the Android progress bar will show on the screen (might take up to 5 minutes), then the Android desktop will load.
DONE. Enjoy Android on your Vogue! You can now delete all the files on the SD card if you wish...Android will recreate anything it needs on boot-up each time.
MASS STORAGE FIX (USB to PC): You can get the Mass Storage fix HERE so that your storage card will show up as a drive on your computer. This is a widget, and not ROM specific, so should work for any Android ROM.
KAISER WI-FI FIX (for the Kaiser phone ONLY!): Download the Wi-Fi fix HERE (intended for use with 'myn's Warm Eclair RLS1', linked in STEP 3)
I do not ask for donations, just say 'Thanks' if this helped you.

UPDATE: This Thread is now featured on Wired.com's News Site!! Link: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/04/windows-mobile-android/

please elaborate on step 8. what are we extracting here
Great post. Just some clarifications I thought would be helpful.
1. reminder to all - you can use SDHC cards for this, those being greater than 2gb, but make sure you format them to FAT32.
5. in some instances there are androidupdate.tar files that go with the build too, in which case that too needs to be placed in the same andboot folder
8. clarification, you'll be replacing the RUU_signed.nbh file with the 320 nbh file you download. So, you'll have to delete the ruu_signed.nbh that came with the update utility, and rename your downloaded 320 nbh to ruu_signed.nbh and place it in the update utility folder so it uses that file instead.
9. to enter bootloader mode you have to press those 3 buttons down for about 2 seconds, not just a quick tap. This bootloader is your failsafe fallback to reinstall if your operating system goes funky.
13. If volume up isn't working for you, try holding down the button in the middle of the directional pad. The last nbh file I used required this instead of the awkward volume-up. Regardless, be sure to do this quickly as soon as the phone reboots itself.
16. After the install process is complete you'll be brought back to the same menu you arrived at by holding down the button on startup, you may then select "update" or "upgrade" from that same menu to activate the androidupdate.tar file you may have copied to your andboot folder. Once done, just select "exit" or reset.
17. He's not kidding, first boot can take a very long time.
If you run into problems and just need a functional phone for a bit, download the nfsfan rom (or any other custom roms), put phone into bootloader and run the nfsfan rom utility from your windows desktop. Don't reinstall a locked carrier-specific rom that you might have used to update your radios otherwise I understand your Coke bootloader gets wiped out and you'll have to do that again. Alternatively, there is an older, dummy-proof Android ION build that will install the entire ION build through the rom update utility to your nand at http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2009-12-17/androidinstall.zip/download
I'm no super-expert so if I have any misinformation in my post, or there are other shortcuts, please feel free to edit it or let me know and i'll modify it.

You're looking for the vogue 320 files, not the vogue eclair 320 files unless you're installing an eclair (2.x) build.
The .nbh files are usually referenced on the build thread in the forums, but if they are not head over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ and download the latest.
(NOTE: I suggest you run at least the Feb 23 build at http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D as it enables the openGL support)

it keeps hanging up at the progress bar and both stay at 0% it looks like the active sync is gone once in bootloader it goes gray and then its gone from tray in bottom right corner. it seems like once in bootloader mode i have no active sync connection it just hangs Then the updater goes into its recovery any help please

go into bootloader before plugging your phone in by pressing and holding power button, camera button, and then use stylus to hit reset button.
once you get into bootloader, plug your phone in and then run the rom update

the only reason i said that is because active sync should have nothing to do with it. i dont think active sync should come up or shut down during this process. Do you have the RUU_signed.nbh named properly?

Activesync has nothing to do with updates via the rainbow screen bootloader and will not sync.
You have already install the Coke bootloader? What OS are you running?
Thank you so much. Been needing something like this since the other NAND tutorials for Android didn't tell you what files to use or had outdated/non-working links.

What OS are you running on your computer?
The ROM update utility really just installs the .nbh file which is somewhat of a front-end loader mechanism. Once that file is installed, then the phone resets, you hold down a button and you enter into the menu that lets you actually install android from the androidinstall.tar file in your andboot folder.
Here is a fail-proof method that I think will resolve your goofy androidinstall folder.
Download this
http://74.53.45.2/~evadmin/nfsfan/Public Releases/Vogue 6.5/ROMS/NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.rar
Then replace the .nbh file with the vogue 320 nbh. Then, run it when your phone is already in the bootloader screen.
Excellent post

XP Pro always worked well for me. I'm running Win7 x64 ultimate and recently my phone was recognized as a USB Sync Device in the bootloader mode which doesn't work for the rom update utility. This was occurring both with and without the installation of the MS Mobile Device Center app. To solve this I installed XP Mode and attached the usb device to the XP Mode and it recognized correctly as the Qualcomm MSM thing.
Just an FYI.

0. Search and research.
1. Choose what version of Android you want.
2. there will be a download link, click and download the .zip/.rar/.7z
3. Once downloaded, extract the contents on your comp.
4. Copy them to your memory card, root folder, meaning no folder, directly on the memory card.
5. Disconnect your phone from the computer. From your File Explorer, run Haret.
6. Wait and enjoy Droid. First boot usually takes a longer while. Once you are into Android completely, restart and go back into Winmo, then again start Android.

How i solved my hangs: (happened to me with all versions i tried)
Go to settings -> wireless & network settings -> mobile networks -> uncheck "Data enabled", reboot.
if it hangs before you can get there, remove the sim card and try again.

(Backup Files ADDED!) [How To] [MOD] Undo Webtop Mod [MOD] [How To]

For almost a full day I tried undoing the hack with adb shell in order to install the beta update. You must have your Atrix Rooted and have SuperUser Okay lets start.
1) Check if you have WebtopModBackup in /mmt/sdcard (if not then dl)
2) Download from the market Super Manager https://market.android.com/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.TaskManager
3) Open Super Manager and go to settings "Enable ROOT function" give SuperUser permission
4) Go back to Super Manager and click on "File Explorer"
5) Locate "WebtopModBackup" once in their you should see 6 files.
6) hold down on the first one (one by one) and select "rename"
7) Erase .bak from all 6 files
8) Check all six files and click "Copy" (its the 3 icon on the bottom looks like 2 papers on top of each other)
9) Once you do that click on "Back up level folder" 3 times (You should be on "/" section
10) Go down to System (folder) (it will ask you 3 options R/w, read only, and so on.. Select R/W then go to "app"
11) Under "apps" (/system/app) Paste the files you copied! The 5th icon on the bottom (looks like a clipboard)
12) You will notice "force close over and over" This is normal" All you have to do from here on is turn off the phone. Lock the phone and hold the power button and click on "shut off"
Your all done! download the update and enjoy.
Note: You will lose SuperUser and Root Acc
Mine failed
Edit: Wrong thread sorry
This is helpful.
After the update are we able to add the hack back in?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
At this time their is no way to root. Sideloading still works tho.
This would help immensely if I had the original files. If someone could email me the apk files and the codex files, I'd be grateful.

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Ok, I may not need the APKs but I do need the odex files if possible.
im just doing this. results to follow. I assume you meant .BAK and not .DAK
Thanks I replace it.
It all worked perfectly. Many thanks. I will try to put the mod back. I meant to copy the modded files before replacing them but forgot!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I tried to run the webtop mod again. Put the software on the phone but didn't install it.

The Mod wont work on the new update. Has this write up helped anyone?
I heard the new update is out. Is this true?

WebtopModBackup... Where do I get that if I didn't do any back ups?
After doing this i still had trouble doing the update. I hooked up the phone to see if the webtop mod still existed. Webtop didnt work but I also didnt get any notifications when connecting to hdmi, not even for the media center app. Has anyone confirmed hdmi still works?
webtopmodbackup isnt on my device is there anywhere i can DL this from
I also dont have webtopmodbackup, anywhere that I can DL it from?
anyone? i want to download the update and this is killing me

[ROM] Froyo ClockworkMod V1 [08-05-11]

New good build come ! I repark from [F1 Froyo 2.2.2 V3][EXT2] by faryaab ( thanks faryaab). This build run smooth and fast !
What work:
- phone, sms, email, 3g, wifi, bluetooth, usb mode ...
- market, browser, app, game...
- 3D good ( 24.3fps neocore with sound!)
- ultil now every thing work well !
I. Download needed file:
1. Rom: http://www.multiupload.com/OLFZRD3BGN
2. boot folder: http://www.multiupload.com/Q6MNZX6FSD
II. before install :
1. Format your sdcard make 4 Partition with recommended size:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / about 150MB -> depends on the build )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 250MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 50MB)
Be sure make all 4 partition primary
2. extract and copy folder npkboot to root of sdcard.
3. Copy Rom ( zip file , don't extract) in to root of sdcard.
III. Install:
1. run Haret, and wait when it will be asked to press "Volume Down" shortly (!!important!! shortly) to launch ClockworkMod Recovery or any other key to usually continue booting into Android.
Press volume Down and wait for menu Recovery.
2. In menu recovery choose "install zip from sd-card" choose zip from sdcard and select "Froyo CWM V1 08-05-11.zip" . Confirm instalation. then back to main menu (press ok key) and choose: reboot system now.
3. Run HARET again and press any key (except Volume keys) to continue booting into Android.
TIPS:
- Android won't performing very well at first running hours, if you have many media files (pic,videos..) .. system will be busy searching for these files & creating thumbnails for them ... the time for that is depending on the quantity of the media on the SD card ..
- syne with google account, open each app one then restart for smooth speed.
- enable 3G ( if use want use data connect) and plugin charge in windows mobile before boot
- disable auto rotate
- disable data connect, data transfer, auto sync, use 2g network, use setCPU for save baterry life
- set acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=652000 in startup file ( inside npkboot folder) for more speed ! if you have problem, reset to 600000!
- If you want stop problem key freeze, download kernel with keyboard as modules and follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11808067&postcount=2 how to do ^^!
- USB mode have litle bug so when use turn on, copy file, it normal, then turn off usb mode, it will ask you format sdcard, DON'T ok, cancel it and restart phone, sdcard will normal again.
UPDATE:
- I recommend every one don't use Task Manager with option kill all ap or auto kill app, it will make more system eror, stop app, and keypad die! I don't use any task manager and it run stable for me, with no eror until now ! please try this thing and report here if it work !
- If when you boot to android and the phone restart, check your cpu speed and disable overclock in windows mobile. If you not overclock, download this file http://tingstenen.dk/data/ygge2.6turbo.zip extract and replace 2 file zimage and modules in npkboot folder, format sdcard, and try again! maybe it will work !
So, please report here how it works ! Thanks all developers for this build !

- I test wifi and work good so far, no eror or dropping, just in first boot maybe it eror, reboot 2,3 time and everything will work good.
- Keyboard problem need fix by kernel, so, until now, this problem is not yet fix! I recomment use gscript to fix it
Nice work, it runs pretty well!
Exept for one thing, when i try to download some apps from the market, it says
"application google service Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly". It does this everytime it tries do download from the market...
Did you encountered that problem? Should a make a system restore from android? I also tried to format the cache memory...Fix the permissions, but nothing changed...
Except that issue, sometimes it starts with the menu in wide mode.
Many thanks to you!!

Hi b8e5n, nice to see it work good for you, with the market, I don't have any eror until now. have you use any Task Manager and use kill all app to free more memory? I recomment don't use it, and maybe you should reinstall again with step by step I write in first post
Thanks for your help! I spent my whole day on it...
I did not use any kill app, because there was no app killer installed.
I tried to reinstall the whole system (formating the three partitions of curse), but failed again with that error, so i tried another mod.

please try this boot folder http://www.multiupload.com/JC7W7479NE, download it and extract npkboot folder to your sdcard. remember format all partition sdcard and make them primary . copy 4 file in old folder I give in first post include: Haret.exe, modules-2.6.27.46.tar.gz, zImage, and ts-calibration to new folder. then reinstall. Hope it work for you ^^!
Works flawlessly!
only thing to improve is battery drain
great job! thanks!
I tried your Android but happens to me the following:
Sdcard reformat the FAT23 partition and three Ext2
Copying
npkboot
Froyo_CWM_V1_08-05-11.zip
card to FAT32
Via file explorer and choose open folder sdcard npkboot
run Haret
starts to load and after a few seconds resets the phone.
I tried another version npkboot you're hung up in some of the recent posts but
happens the same thing.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do or give up.

I go into settings and try to auto adjust, find the mobile operators but will not connect
also when I try manually

try open each app once! then restart 2,3 time and every things will ok. If not, reinstall android again! it will good!
Best ROM for me so far, and I've tried them all to date! (As of May 18!)
Just like to say I'm using this ROM, with the gscript keyboard modules and SetCPU, and so far, feels faster and more stable than the others and I'm going to stick with this one for a while.
I especially like being able to use CWM to make a backup to the SD card and then able to restore it at a later date very quickly if things go wrong (just some advice, if you do rename the CWM backup directory, do *not* put spaces in the directory name or it will give you an error).
I have a few problems though with installing apps
So far, WhatsAPP will not install. Neither will the latest ADWLauncher 1.3.3 (I'm currently using the older version). Not quite sure why this is happening. Would appreciate any advice here

Help!

Right... I need to put a file on my internal SD card..
Can someone please tell me how to access the Internal SD card? Thank you!
Connect your phone via USB then select to connect as an internal storage.
Or if it want Kies go to options, and chnge setting there.
If you are not rooted, open My Files or Astro and you are in the internal SD card. Drop the file in a folder if you need to or just loose.
If you are rooted, open Root Explorer and open the sdcard directory. Then do the same as above

Lol, ok first off go to settings/wireless and network/usb settings and select mass storage. Then on your PC go to my computer, connect the phone via USB, on your phone you'll see a green android and a button under it that says "Connect storage to PC", tap it and the android turns orange, you're now connected. Open up the phone's internal SD in "my computer" when it's displayed.
Copy your file to the phone and when your done tap the "Disconnect storage from PC" button, the android will turn green again, hit the back button on your phone and unplug from your PC. All done.
Okay - But I need to put an update.zip file onto my phone. Which folder does it go into?

In the internal SD root directory. That is not in a sub folder...just in /sdcard.

Just put it into the SD card as is, don't open any folders, if you have file extensions set to hidden on your PC it should just be "update", if there are files on your PC with extensions, such as .exe or .jpeg etc then it will be called "update.zip", the same applies to when it's on your SD, it should only end in .zip if everything else has an extension too.
What are you planning to flash? And do you know how to do it?
It helps if you give people an idea of what you're trying to do when you ask for assistance.

I'm really sorry for not being specific.
Basically, I'm waiting for my phone which should be back tomorrow, so I can flash this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037176
Marcus gave me a link to ROMKitchen and I cooked up my own rom!
I read the instructions, telling me to flash stock JVB which I have downloaded, a custom kernel which I have also downloaded and I have received instructions from Marcus telling me to install the theme via clockworkmod.
I'd really, really appreciate me if you gave me a step by step guide on how to install it

You want to know how to flash the theme with CWM right?
Ok, do you know how to get into recovery mode?
Hold Volume up + Home + Power button all at the same time, as soon as the black and white Samsung screen appears let go of the Power button while still holding Volume up + Home. Keep holding until recovery screen appears.
See the pic attached.
Use the Volume buttons to scroll up and down through the available options, and the Power button to select the one you want.
First thing you want to do is select the Backup and Restore option.
Make a Backup before you go any further.
Once the Backup is complete scroll to Install zip from sdcard, press the power button, you will be asked if you are sure you want to Install the update, scroll down a bit to confirm that you want to install and press the Power button again. The update will begin installing, once it's done you'll need to choose the reboot option, do so by using the Power button.
Your theme should now be installed.
I read through some of the thread in the link you posted, seems like some people had problems with it, so if your phone starts acting funny ask Marcus or some of the guys who had issues and resolved them, they will be in a much better position to guide you step by step if it causes problems.
Best thing you could do is to read up on flashing, roms, and kernels before trying them, there's a wealth of info already posted here, patience and research are better than a bricked phone.
Hope that helps and good luck
