Doesn't the thread tell you how to? You need CWM recover and install it as a zip file. Or you can rename it to update.zip and install it using 2e recovery. Just put it in the root of your internal SD (as in not inside any folder) and select "install update.zip" in recovery mode.
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.
Is there a site or way to make my own CWM flashable zips for CMW 3.X.X.X.X. I downloaded a zip file I would like to flash but it is for the old CMW and will not flash. Its an .apk file and will not install properly by just running the file in the OS itself.
Do a search for "amend2edify". Should convert it.
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

Hmm... yes, nice, but I'm not in to designing things. I was looking for something that has been already created
what's the version of your Rom?

Firmware version : 2.3.4
baseband version I9001XXKP4
Kernel Version : [email protected] #7
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.XXKP4
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,
Ciprian
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.

I have attached framework-res.apk

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.

nope because you will end up in a bootloop by flashing this
its only for XXKP4
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

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.

Upload your framework-res.apk file.
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?
