Installing an app through flashing?

Is it possible to install an app through flashing by first convert it into a zip file then in recovery install zip? Cos there are some apps I can't install just by pressing install in the system.

Yeah, there's a thread on it. If I remember you just uncompress the apk's into a zip and flash. It's simple anyway. (if not that simple!)

Xrecovery to cwm

Does someone know how to flash froyobread with cwm recovery

Yes, if you know how to make an edify updateR-script, you can extract the zip folder, delete the old update-script and create a new updateR script and update-binary.

I will try.. thanks for your reply

Lol he doesnt even know what are update and edify scripts.

LOL
xRecovery uses Amend script so in order to flash FroyoBread with CWM you must convert it to Edify script (used by CWM).
Get this tool and convert the update zip to edify script.

Creating and un-flashing a zip file

Hi. Is it possible to unflash a zip that can't delete all the file that I flash from the zip?
And can I flash a zip that have apps that is going to be installed into the SD card and not the system?
Help please

no you cannot unflash a zip but you can delete the content of the zip directly from the mobile by going to /system and deleting those files
app 2 zip:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567614
app2zip will create a flashable zip of your installed apps but cannot install them on sdcard

The only way to unflash a zip is by reflashing your ROM and about creating zips there are a few tutorials about that in XDA so make a search.

I meant by making a zip file that can install all the apks into the sdcard as a normal app. I already know how to create a flash zip and i only can flash apks into my system/app/.

Try my backup root the basic concept is the same it creates zips of the apks as backup but unfortunately you can restore it only via my backup root.

[Q] How to update from .7z file?

I have currently Firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6 and have downloaded stock 2.1.1.C... ROM.But the file is compressed in .7z. I haven't rooted my phone neither recovery installed. Please tell me how can i update my phone?

You can't. Open the file and extract the .tft file (flash it via flashtool)

The .7z file contains system.img,data.img,cache.img and nandroid.md5. So I am confused! Recovery can only install .zip format.

Its a backup.
Extract the files in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/"make a folder here of whatever name you like and extract the contents in this folder"
now go to recovey->backup and restore->restore and you are done

use 7 zip pc software to extract it first....
Officially corp via w8

He is right...
Extract Rom files containing {system,kernel,etc} via "unrar" or "7zip" program from PC.
If your phone is rooted : put files in"clockworkmod/backup " folder.(cwm recovery) then restore from recovery place
Not rooted: dl flashtools app or se companion.
Using se-com is easy but in flashtools you have to put files in"framework"folder which is in the place where you install it.press lightening button in program and flash files.

[Q] How to make a rom backup (from rom manager) to become a flashable version of CWM?

I've just flash a rom (download from xda, which is in *.zip format JB4.12) by CWM to my note 1, successfully.
Now I've just backup the rom, with some apps and data, by rom manager. However, the backup come with several files include a *.img instead of a zip file.
Anybody know, how can I make these files to become one *zip file, which I can flash it to the system and make it become factory default??
Please help...

I would suggest you taking a nandroid using CWM recovery..its easy to backup & restore..about your question regarding rom manager, may be you can put all the .img files into 1 .zip file, but i really don't know if it will make a flashable rom..

simply say, how to backup thwart whole roman with data which is flashable to cwm?

Nandroid backup backs up the entire rom and is restorable via cwm.

Thanks for prompt reply.
Will it create *.zip files that can be used to flash to factory default rom?

Not .zip AFAIK..it does on .tar format & another format (forgot the name)..anyways, u should be able to flash .tar using mobile odin..

It doesnot make a zip file. it makes a folder with the date and time when you made the backup. in it has ext4 files of you system,data cache, modem kernel etc.. all you need to do is boot into recovery and go to backup & restore and choose the folder you want to restore and it will do the job.. it doesnot require a zip file this way.
