When I'm trying to install some ROM from here, Xrecovery gives an error: Cannot open xxx (bad). Installation aborted.
Can anyone help?

is the xxx zip file ??
try to install it with cwm recovery, not xRecovery
Thanks for help, but still nothing.. The same error with CWM... Yes, it's a zip files
Do the zip files have spaces in their names? If so, remove all spaces.
Another thought is that the files get corrupted when downloading. Maybe there's a problem with your internet connection or PC
I doubt it, though.
What rom are you trying to install?

1.My PC is okay
2.It hasn't got any spaces in it's name
3.I've tried so many ROMs like gingerbread and froyobread.
On my last X8 it worked well, but here..
Are you install cwm manually? If yes try do it with x8toolbox

Still the same...
Repair your phone with PC compaion then install CWM recovery put Prime HD for stock kernel on sdcard
if this does not help then try to unlock bootloader
Doesn't work, still the same...

Try downloading the zip file again without pausing the download...
It might click in

Same problem with diferents custom roms, solved CHANGING SD for me(8G one for 4G, i don't know if SD's size was the problem)
Dude, check in the zip file and see if it is really a ROM. If it has two folders, one called "META-INF" and "system" it's a rom, else it could have a "date named folder" so it's a backup file (like in Matej's rom/eclair), you must extract it to the clockworkmod folder. Or even to give the installation aborted, it maybe means that the meta-inf ins't installing the rom or the system files is corrupted, try to download the rom again, but if it's your own rom, try to recompile it, if made with Winrar use mode "store" and set as .zip.
If nothing work, try this:
1- Format SD Card;
2- Save the rom in the SD Card again;
3- Reflash Kernel and Recovery
4- Try to install rom again.
Or even try to install clockwork, if you're using x-recovery...

Well, this is interesting. Can you tell me the model of the 8GB one? Can you test both of them with CrystalDiskMark or something and post the speeds here?

Size isn't the problem, I think, because my SD is 8gb with 2gb as ext and works very well with both x-rec and cwm...
Hey folks,
I've got a litte problem with the recovery menu and the SDcard. So I installed the "Revoltution HD"-ROM.
As you can see in the attachment, there is the .zip file listed. BUT I can't see and remove this file from my ONE.
I can also install this ROM again although it's not on the SDcard, or rather I can't find it.
You know what I mean? (Hope so because I am from Germany^^)
Thanks for help anyway.

its there you need to use root explorer to find it
I already tried that...Is there a way to check the SDcard from my PC, like using the CMD or another console?
what exactly are you trying to do?
I am trying to remove the .zip file from the SDcard...I can't find it when I am searching it over the phone.
So I thought it would be possible to do it from the PC. Got it?

Hey all
I was looking a solution for a problem and found one. Thought of sharing it with you. Let me know if it helps.
Problem
I usually switches between roms / dual boot between 4.1 and 4.2 . The issue with this is 4.2 moves all content of the sdcard to the /sdcard/0 folder. So once 4.2 is installed, if i move to a 4.1 rom it wont be able to read the sdcard content as all data is moved to /sdcard/0 folder
Solution :
I had created a script that will mount the sdcard content inside /sdcard/0. So when the rom looks in to the zero folder it sees the data of the sdcard . so no issues.
Steps :
1. Install any 4.2.2 ROM
2. Install the sdcardzeroMounter.zip
3. RebootYou will now see your sdcard in the /sdcard/0 folder ...
Note : If you delete the 0 folder . you are deleting the /sdcard itself.
Changelog:
02-OCT-2013
* Added support for 4.3 roms ** tested on PAC rom 4.3

This will help you to see your sdcard inside a 4.2 ROM . so all your sdcard data including obb downloads will be accessible from the 4.2 ROM. You need to flash this in your second ROM . not /data sharing at all

If you're using a 4.1 Rom you should use aroma file manager in philz recovery to move what is in /0 folder to sdcard root path. Then in the same recovery change default path to sdcard (there is an option for that).

I only use philz recovery, where you can set default path to /sdcard or sdcard/0 depending on your needs. Check with your recovery options. And change for Phil's one if needed.
If the folder is empty just erase it.

I downloaded Android Revolution HD and wanted to put it on my Internal Storage, but should I extract the files before I do that or leave it in the Winrar(zip) file instead of just to folder after extracting? because when I tried to install it with TWRP recovery and it just ended up showing a bunch of folders instead of installing everything. Then I tried putting the zip file on my internal storage and it coppied over kinda fast so I didn't want risk anything. I'm new to this so i dont want to screw anything up could someone please help

We all start somewhere. I enjoy seeing people who make accounts truly just to ask just a question. Shows the intiative and willingness to learn, and the cautiousness needed for this kind of stuff. Kudos to you, and good luck with your One. Remember, your best chance on the forums is reading!
It's also nice to see people giving decent answers for a change, we all know how 'catty' some members can be.

At last we have the 4.10.708.1 Sense 6.0 update for the HK version.
Unfortunately, this release appears to have some problems with the gallery and blinkfeed apps. For the best results, I recommend installing the previous version (3.06, linked below in this post) and applying the OTA update yourself.
Without further ado, here are the links!
Download link:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_stock_4.10.708.1_CL344680_release-keys.zip (MD5)
If you are S-ON, after installing the ROM, you also have to unpack boot.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Verified to install without a problem on an S-OFF phone using the recovery built by @kairi_zeroblade in this thread.
For each of the available OTA updates, you can also find the actual OTA package, the firmware included within and the stock recovery for that version. If you want to flash the whole firmware package (including recovery, radio, kernel/boot and many other things), just grab the appropriate firmware.zip, rename it to PO68IMG.zip, put it into the root of your external SD card and reboot your phone into the bootloader – the update will be applied automatically.
URL: http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/OTA/
Old versions below.
Here's the 3.06.708.3 KitKat 4.4.2 update.
Before installing, take a moment to read this. This update introduces extended filesystem capability flags and SELinux labels. The installer in this ZIP tries to set them in the same way as the OTA update does, but in TWRP this fails, because the recovery doesn't have support for these kinds of metadata. However, setting the medatada is done as the last step, so even if it fails and the installation aborts, the ROM is still installed properly, just without this extra bit.
I repeat:
Read the installer messages. If it says "Done!" and fails afterwards, the installation is complete. If it fails before printing the message "Done!", then the installation is not OK.
The latest CWM Touch should give the best results, although I haven't tried installing it through CWM.
If you are S-ON, after installing the ROM, you also have to unpack boot.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Download link:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_stock_3.06.708.3_CL315079_release-keys_SELinux.zip (MD5)
@Zarboz also made a ZIP of this version of the stock ROM, I'm told it contains some flavor of Superuser preinstalled:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8I81hbg3bIwOWNlZHBMUy1tanc/edit?usp=sharing
-----------------------
Just before Christmas we have a new stock ROM with Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5 available. Same as with previous version, the installer contains all preload apps, in addition, it also contains the HTC Notes app, otherwise it leaves /data as it is, so in case something does not work, remember to wipe data before installing.
Download link:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_signed_stock_2.21.708.1_CL288207_release-keys.zip (MD5)
-----------------------
This is an image of the stock ROM after installing the 1.23.708.3 OTA update. The installer also contains all preload applications (Flashlight, Calculator, PDF viewer and others). Other than installing / updating all preload apps, the package doesn't touch /data in any other way. If you need to wipe your data partition, do it before installing this ROM, otherwise you'll wipe your freshly-installed preload applications. (Note that some of them have been updated in the OTA, which means they differ from the APKs I posted separately.) Does not contain the Notes OTA update, it should ask after first boot.
Here's the download link:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_signed_stock_1.23.708.3_CL241753_release-keys.zip (MD5)
-----------------------
Made from a dump taken from my 901S just after unlocking the bootloader, pure preinstalled stock ROM, no root, no mods of any kind. Only contains /system and kernel+initrd, doesn't touch /data, /cache or anything else. If you want a clean state, wipe your phone before or after installing.
Download:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_signed_stock_1.11.708.1_CL215607_release-keys.zip (MD5 here)
The ROM is also available as a TWRP backup:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/stock-901s-twrp-backup.tar (MD5 here)
For those interested, I also made a backup of the original internal storage ("sdcard") before unlocking which is available here (MD5). It should be pretty close to the original state, though I did run a few apps there to get a feeling of the device.
Last but not least, there were certain applications preinstalled in the /data partition which gets erased completely when unlocking. I managed to find out which ones they were and back up their APKs. The APKs are located at http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/preload/. To install them, create the directory /data/preload on your device and push the APKs in there using adb or something. The apps should appear after a reboot. Most of them are probably not very interesting (since they are for news from the HK area), I was mostly interested in the calculator, flashlight and PDF viewer, but I backed them all up anyway, so suit yourselves.

Well, the file is a tar archive. You have to extract it into TWRP/BACKUPS/<your phone's serial number>. The backup itself consists of multiple files, I just made a single archive for easier downloading.

I don't really understand your question, but I'll try again and slower this time. (-;
First, extract the archive on your phone, any decent file manager app should be able to do that. You'll notice the archive contains one directory named 2013-08-22--21-11-59. This directory contains a bunch of files.
Next, look up your phone's serial number in settings -> about -> phone identity. Navigate into TWRP/BACKUPS on your SD card and check if there's a directory with the same name as your serial number. If there's no such directory, create it.
Finally, move the 2013-08-22--21-11-59 directory into the one you just created.

It is hosted on a Raspberry Pi sitting on a shelf in my campus room. It should have 100 mbit connectivity. I noticed in the HTTP server logs that a lot of people are using downloaders which open more than 20 connections in parallel, some go even as high as 50. Since it is a really weak machine, I limited it to 5 parallel connections. If you're trying to download with such a tool, try to crank it down a little bit.
