When trying to install the flash rec using linda file manager I don't get the prompt to install. It just tries to open the zip file and show nothing. If I use app installer it doesnt even detect the file. What now?

......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.

i can get into recovery mode.. i have been trying to reflash.. but no matter what.. i get stuck on The G1 screen...
Hi, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I see all these tutorials and i'm not sure which one applies to me. A couple of months ago I flashed my european Vodafone N1 to FRF91 using this XDA guide: "EPE54B (new N1- AT&T) -> FRF50 -> FRF83 & beyond (hopefully) in 20 minutes" (I can't post a link because i'm a new user).
Now, I received an update notification, but I read somewhere that you shouldn't use that when you flashed your N1 yourself, cause it can screw up your phone? So now I want to install the new rom myself, but i'm not sure how to do it. I checked if I am rooted by typing "su" in a terminal app and it said permission denied, so I guess i'm not rooted.
Do I now need to root first to install new roms? So should I do the following part of the guide:
Rooting
1) Download the nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip from here.
2) Copy the file onto your SD card. ( It should be in the root folder of your SD card i.e don't put it under any directories).
3) Shut down your nexus one
4) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
5) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
6) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
7) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
8) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
9) Do this step only if you didn't use Superboot: Use trackball -> "Flash zip from from sdcard" -> nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip
- If you get a Triangle with a ! in the middle alongside an Android for 5+ minutes, you MAY have to remove battery and re-flash recovery (I had to do this once.) (Make absolutely sure that nothing is happening on your phone, as removing the battery when it's doing something can cause a brick.)
- Alternatively, try the optional Superboot method, and then re-flash Amon_RA's recovery image.
10) Select Reboot.
FRF50 -> FRF83
1) Ok, now I think you are already enjoying your delicious dessert. Let's add some strawberries to it.
2) Download the PAUL modified FRF50 -> FRF83 zip file from HERE. (2.2.1 update instead)
3) Connect your phone to the USB cable and mount the card.
4) Remove the existing update.zip file from the SDcard.
5) Copy the downloaded FRF83 file into the SDcard's root folder and rename it to "update.zip". (2.2.1 file instead)
6) Shut down your nexus one.
7) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
8) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
9) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
10) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
11) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
12) The phone now boots into Recovery.
13) Select "Flash zip from sdcard" and in the next screen select the "update.zip" file
14) Wait for the most annoying 15-25 seconds and reboot.
15) VOILA , you are on the latest and greatest android update for Nexus one.!!!!
Any help would be appriciated

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

Hi All,
These are my mobile details previously :
Mobile details: Samsung Captivate
ROM:FROYO.UCJI6
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
BASEBAND VERSION:I897UCJI6
FIRMWARE VERSION:2.2
nUMBER OF aPPS: 46
I am new to the ROM world and this is my first time.
So i strictly followed the tutorial in this link on "[HowTo W/Pack] Flash Stock I9000 2.3.3 NEE Updated (again) 4/25/11"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734
Which says :
1. Wipe data and cache/Factory Reset with CWM. (pull battery when complete to shut off phone)
2. Find the "GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe" file and click it and extract its contents into its current folder.
3. Open up Odin 1.7 and now select the 512 pit file I included, and select all the files in the necessary place in Odin and make sure "repartition" is selected". your odin should look like this http://d.pr/Ixt2
4. Put Your phone in download mode and connect, now hit start. (THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be 100% Clear)
5. Boot up normally and let things settle.
6. now power off the phone and wait for it to shut off completely. at this point hold down "Volume down and Power" at the same time and wait till download digger appears. Open up Odin and select the 512 pit and xcals kernel(In the PDA box) I included and DE-select repartition if it auto selects and go ahead and connect your phone (Obviously needs to be in download mode) and flash.
7. The phone will reboot and once again let things settle (media scanning and whatnot). Plug in the USB cable and transfer the folders included in this pack named "Fixes and modems" and also "For Rooting" to your phone. then power off the phone once again. this time hold down "Volume Up and Power" as soon as you see the screen turn on let go of the power button and continue to hold volume up until you see CWM.
8. at this point you should be in CWM (Woot!). navigate to flash zip from SD and then navigate to the folder "Fixes and Modems" and flash "Enable CRT Lock.zip" and "update-xvjvb-home_button_fix.zip" and I recommend flashing "modem_ugjk4.zip" as JK4 seems to do the best.
9.Reboot. At this point reboot and you should be on stock 2.3.3! Congrats!!
10. If you want to root read the txt file i included for rooting!
I was able to install the ROM till the 7th step,but from there iam not able to apply the fixes and modems.
Once i press the volume up and power button its taking me to Andriod system recovery <3e> mode:
I have four options here:
1)reboot
2)update from sd card
3)wipe data card / factory reset
4)wipe cache parition
when i choose update from sd card by pressing power button,nothing is happing.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Another issue iam facing is when i make call installing this rom my normal speaker under the at &T logo is not working,i have to switch on the speaker to talk to anyone, and thereturn key is also not working.
Best Regards,
Chandu.

Hi,
Sorry, I know this has been covered loads before but im still a little confused on the method.
Im running a great custom rom on my SGA called MindCR. I would like to be able to flash an updated custom kernel.
Im attempting to flash Rafael.Baugis. E3 Stable.
Code:
How to install Kernel with E3 Recovery (Stock):
shutdown the phone
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-XXX-boot.img.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( Select_you_rom_file.zip )
wait the end of process
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-modules.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
Do I download stock-kernel.tar ? and from the stock recovery, apply update from sdcard, choose stock-kernel?
Do I need to wipe cache afterwards?
Sorry this is so easy for most, but to me those instructions are confusing!
many thanks for your help xda

A: .tar files are to be flashed in Odin
- on the phone go to download mode: keep the [+] and [-] pressed while you power on, when the menu pops out, press [+] again
- on the pc launch Odin, connect the phone with the usb cable, it should lite up a COM-x port if drivers are installed (Rafael provides those too)
- in Odin, press the PIT button, select the cooperve_0623.pit file, press the PDA button, select the 2012***E3-PDA-boot.tar file, uncheck Re-Partition. Start!
B: .zip files are to be flashed in recovery mode, no need for PC
- move the zip file to the sd card
- go to recovery mode: keep the [+] and [Home] pressed while u power on for around 8seconds, a recovery menu will pop out soon after. if it reboots you've kept the 3 buttons pressed too much time, try again.
- select browse for zip file. choose 2012***E3-boot.zip. flash it. choose 2012***E3-modules.zip. flash it. Reboot. No need to wipe anything.
Everything should be clear from Rafael's kernel post, link to files is <<< Custom Kernel and Modules >>> and you can navigate outside the default skydrive folder to find stuff like windows driver and etc.
you can navigate there upper so you will find also driver files etc.
