First off, yes i'm a noob
Secondly, i apologise if this is a question that has already been answered but i swear i've been looking for a good while now and can't find the answer.
Thirdly, if this is in the wrong section then i apologise.
Now that i have that out of the way, onto my problem. I have recently purchased an HTC One and I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, i now want to i try out some custom roms. The trouble i seem to be having is that recovery mode requires you to flash a .zip file but whenever i download a rom, the end product is not a zip file but a folder that contains numerous other files that contain no zip file. I have still copied the folder to the phone but when i try to install through TWRP there is no recognisable zip file.
I have even tried converting said folder and files into a zip file and trying to flash that but to no avail.
I am downloading the files on a Mac, i don't know if this bears any relevance but i thought i should mention it.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Which rom are you trying to flash? and if it is downloaded into folders, surely making them into a .zip should make it flashable via recovery? if not then it's a bad rom?
I've tried several ROMs but the latest one I've tried is ViperOne. Well I thought converting it to zip would work also but no.
I never had this issue downloading or flashing ROMs to my Sensation or S2.

hmm not sure, im running rayglobe v 5.1 at the moment, maybe its a bad build? what recovery are you using?
Save link as
What's happening is your browser is unzipping the file instead of just saving it
Thank you very much for that, such a simple solution but its been driving me mad. I'll have a look and see if there is a setting to stop it from unzipping when it finishes downloading.
Thanks guys.

I bought a M7 HTC phone from website and it's probably second or third hand. I noticed that on the internet browser there is a sprint website come up even after reseted many times. Then I want to update android via OTA but there is not a tab of software update in my mobile then I have tried manually update but didnt work too. my phone is rooted, unlock bootloader, s off and there is Philz touch 5 with cwm based version 6.0.3.3.
Now I want to update to android 4.4, what should i do, please advice. Thank you in advance for all answers.

***MAKE SURE TO BACK UP PERSONAL FILES BEFORE DOING THIS***
Flash the recovery in my signature (the one that's TWRP 2.7.1.3), and then download a ROM of your choice in the Sprint HTC One Android Development section. Transfer the ROM zip file to your internal storage, boot up TWRP and wipe everything except internal storage. Finally, flash the ROM, and you should be good to go.

Hey guys i just a thread in the Android Development forum about a guy possibly making Lollipop work on many devices! It is a great news and can someone upload the CWM/TWRP Backup here? Needed to make a flashable zip!!
I actually need this kinda backup too. Whenever I try to flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/ota-moto-g-2014-xt1063-v22-11-6-android-t2939881 via stock recovery, it says "/system/lib/hw/sensort.MSM8226.so" has unexpected contents.
I'm trying hard to find a way on how to make a flashable zip, no luck though...

Can I use this on my XT104 running KitKat with an unlocked boot loader? Can I just copy it to my SD card and restore it without issue?

Hi first off i wanna say thank you!
I have an XT1064 that was rooted and bootloader unlocked, i downloaded the right version and restored it using TWRP and it worked! I am now on 5.0 with out using any PC or anything..the only thing is i cant send a text...calls work fine just no text messages...can you help me? I also want to get rid of the dual sim feature as my phone only has one sim. Please help!
Okay so I tried to download and flash the OTA.zip for my phone and flash it through stock recovery and it aborts when verifying my current system because of the edited build.prop in this build. Is there any way to fix this without a PC? I don't have access to one right now. Feel free to PM me! Thank you XDA

Thanks for this Recovery. I really appreciate it. However, I am stuck with the phone thinking it's a Dual SIM phone.
How do I make it recognize that it's just one SIM Card.
Thanks.

I've been trying to modify my HTC Desire 510 phone recently, but when I was doing so, I was honestly operating under the assumption that my phone is the 610 (school is really messing with my brain.) Anyways, I've unlocked the bootloader, but something was wiped out so that now whenever I choose to reboot, it goes into fastbook mode (this happens whether I select recovery or reboot. Thus, I'm thinking that I knocked out the ROM. Would I be correct in that assumption?) Anyways, if I am, is there anyone who has a copy of the stock ROM for the HTC Desire 510 that I could get to restore my phone back to operating condition?

Ill pull the stock system and post a download link. Just give me a second. Your gonna need to reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery in the forums for the 510 first before restoring it. Just look in the q/a section.

I found the thread that talked about installing TWRP, so I downloaded that .img file and will flash it when I get home (am at school right now.) Once that is done, all I need is the stock ROM to get my phone back to functioning order until someone comes out with a custom ROM, correct?
Again, thanks for the help!

i just did a little something like this, i unlocked my device, went to flash the recovery BUT i put "fastboot flash boot" instead of "fastboot flash recovery" . sigh now im stuck in recovery forever lol, hopefully someone can help us.
Go back to fastboot and reflash it to the recovery partition. Then wait for someone to post up a boot.img. maybe when someone posts a stock rom ill flash it and dump a boot.img for you
I just dumped mine a few minutes ago actually. Not sure if it helps.

Easy way is to go into TWRP Backup and just backup boot
then reboot your phone and from the PC go to sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialnumber/yourBackup
unrar the file you downloaded to the same location as yourBackup
Now return to TWRP / Restore and you should see 2 backups / Yours and Mine (2014-12-02--16-24-34 KOT49H Stock.not.rooted)

There are a couple of reasons for people not replying.
First of all, the lack of details on your problem makes it impossible to determine the solution.
1. What do you mean bricked? Bootloop? Stuck on OnePlus logo? Hard brick? How did you get it bricked in the first place?
2. The restore tool removes TWRP. Have you installed it again?
3. What do you mean you can't install or the update the ROM? Is there an error message? Are you trying to flash a custom ROM in the stock recovery?
4. You waited less than 2 hours. You realize there are different time zones? Some people are sleeping, others are at work.

Hey you self-entitled prick, transfer a copy of the full ROM onto your phone through adb/USB OTG/MTP and flash it through the stock recovery. If you had previously unlocked your bootloader and have TWRP installed, use that to flash instead. If you do not know what any of the above means, look for it yourself through the forums.

Reflash with the MSMtool after re-downloading everything and verifying all downloads first before proceeding. Use the tool I have posted at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/guide-official-op3t-stock-reset-to-oos-t3598864
Ensure you verify before starting the flash. Also uninstall or deactivate any anti virus application installed on your PC.
should i change the data partitions and everything to f2fs or other thing. system to ext4 data to f2fs
For now, don't worry about the data partitions. As mentioned above, reflash from MSMTools, verify the downloaded package first, and then check. All your issues are probably caused by a bad file.
