Help!

Hey all, I'm currently in RA after flashing the recovery image , and I'm trying to install the FRESH rom on there but for some reason when I try to "Flash zip from sdcard" it's telling me "No zip files found." Why is that? I have the whole zip folder placed in the main SD card, so why is it telling me it's not found?

I responded to you on http://GeekFor.Me, but the reason is because RA looks in the root of sdcard, the zips can't be inside of any folders.

So does that mean I have to take out all the individual files and place them directly into the root of the sdcard? Because I just basically copied the download folder and dropped it into the root. Thanks for the reply

You need to leave the files in a .zip, but yea that zip needs to be on the root of the sdcard.
The only file you need to install the rom is fresh-cdma-hero-20d.zip (for fresh rom 2.0d). Any other zips are just addons or tweaks or whatever they may be.

Hmm, I'm on a Mac and maybe it's me but the link I download from gives me an actual folder rather than a zip. And when I rename the folder to a zip, it gives an error. Is there a mirror link to download an actual zip folder?

Boogie when you download it dont opening after it finishes downloading .. just use the finder to navigate to where its at and then copy that to your sd .. when you open it on a mac it will automatically create the extracted folder .. hope this helps ...

Sounds like your using Safari to download it. To make this easier in the future go to Safari > Preferences > General and make sure that "Open safe files after downloading" is NOT check-marked.
Safari is unpacking the zip file for you. The file you want is in your trash bin, drag it to the root of your SD card and that's it..

Ok I'm gonna give it another go. Since I made it all the way through to the RA stage, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to flash the rom is there?

Thanks for all the help everyone I finally got it to flash the FRESH rom, but once I rebooted it, it's still in the "HTC" branded screen. Is it loading? It's not going anywhere but this screen, although I know it's doing something because the animation shine is moving.

After flashing a new ROM, it can take up to 10 minutes or so to load.

Nice Everything is all good! Now my last question is how do I get the removed apps from the ROM back onto here? I actually prefer to have some of those programs back onto the phone.

There is a link in the release notes to download all the removed apk's from Fresh Rom. You will then need to use adb push to push them back to /system/app. Search for how to setup adb on a mac as I honestly don't know.

Is there someone still interested in Tattoo's SPL?

Since we have rooted it now SPL seems to be useless.
----
Well, this is the original SPL image on Tattoo, nothing related to update.zip.
----
I was trying to reverse it, and just found why it refuses to erase, but I could not find why it refuses to download data from the host.
----
By now, to flash SPL or the first splash, you need a custom kernel with additional partition information and then use flash_image is OK.

useless !! nope defo not, thanks for the input..

one more question : will it change my baseband version from G to H ?, which is non 3G to 3G firmware...
i am dying here someone would come up with this innovative upload. thanks tewilove for this wonderful upload....

Original post:
Now you are going to sign the zip file. Download attached testsign.zip and copy it in your <SDK>/tools folder. Extract it here. It should create a sign subfolder with a testsign.jar file in it.
Then, from <workdir> folder, do:
java -classpath <SDK>/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign file.zip file-signed.zip
Ok, now your zip file is ready to be deployed using cyanogen recovery image.

[Q] Relative Newbie Question on updating to 4.3

Hi All,
I'm relatively new to Android (had the Nexus 7 for about a year). My questions is this:
I have 4.2.2 currently loaded. When I orinally got the nexus 7, I used a toolkit to unlock the bootloader and root the device, so I could install SixAxis and a few other apps that required root.
What is the easiest way for me to now update to 4.3? Will the OTA update that is bound to show up on the device shortly work?
BTW This is the WiFi only Nexus 7, 16 GB and my main PC at home is a Mac.
Thanks.

Get it locked and unrooted to get OTA possiblt easiest way.
Otherwise flash the factory images:thumbup:

Do you have a link of a guide that I could follow on how to flash the factory image?
Can I download the zip and then use the clockwork recovery i have installed to load the zip?

I don't think that having the bootloader locked or unlocked will really affect the OTA..
Am I right or am I right?

I dont think having it unlocked will effect the ota (it hasnt in the past for me), but it sounded like he wanted to flash the factory image. I actually have a nandroid of it on my unlocked n7. Gonna flash the official and see if I can get the ota later...

I've taken OTAs no problem on an unlocked, rooted device with TWRP recovery. So you're fine.

So I downloaded what I believe to be the right file, ab67ca07c4b2e03eca795ada10ff041b77fbb7bf.signed-nakasi-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.ab67ca07 (1).zip.
I then reboot my nexus 7 into clockworkmod revovery and select install zip, choose zip from sdcard, browse to the aboev file but then get an error:
It ends in (Status 7) Installation aborted.
What am I missing?

Also, just tried via adb sideload and that didn't work either.

Did you install the aosp browser and rename the default browser apk and odex files or modify the buildprop file? Those must be as original to take the update. Also, you should have gotten a message about what failed when you get the Status 7 error. What else did it say?

No to all of the above. I don't know what odex files or buildprop file would refer to, so I defintely haven't modified them.
It says:

Does it make a difference that my current build number in "about tablet" shows as JDQ39 and not JDFQ39 as above?

The problem file is 'debuggerd' in the /system/bin folder as it says in the error message. I had the same issue previously on the last N7 update. I had to get the original file from someone since the file had been replaced by another app (possibly Stickmount) or it can be extracted from the previous update to 4.2.2. I don't know about the JDFQ39 compared to the download file showing JDQ39, but that is the same file I downloaded. The (1).zip means you had previously downloaded the file and this is an additional d/l. That shouldn't be a problem, but you can delete the (1) if you want.
I'll try flashing through CWM and let you know if mine worked. If so, I can send you the right 'debuggerd' file.

Ok great. I do have stickmount installed...

Well, I got the debuggerd error also. I'll try the backup debuggered file I used in the last update. Otherwise, I'll have to find the debuggerd file from 4.2.2. Any help out there?

Glad I'm not alone lol

Still no joy. I think someone will have to get the right debuggerd file and get it to one us on a pm or email. Also, I noticed on my update try that the file was listed as JDQ39. ... and not the JDFQ39. ... that you saw.

once we get the file, how do I replace the file with the debuggerd that is currently on the nexus?

What I will do is to copy the debuggerd file to the N7 internal storage root folder from my pc. Then I will rename /system/bin/debuggerd to debuggerd.bak (or whatever extension you want to add). Then I will copy the correct debuggerd file from sdcard to /system/bin and try the update again. I started a new thread asking for someone with an unaltered 4.2.2 debuggerd file to send it to me. If I get it I'll pass it along to you.

Are you using a tool like ES File Manager to do the moving and renaming of files etc?

Need a rom ZIP file for desire 626S

I am looking for a rom zip file for a T-mobile HTC desire 626s. All I keep finding are the ruu's. I need a zip file so I can install OS via TWRP. Anyone know where I an find and download one, really need as soon as possible.

Flashing without RUU
First, download the RUU and run the .exe up until it prompts you to begin the install to the phone. Don't do that.
Go to Windows Explorer and in the address bar put "%temp%" and find "rom.zip"
Rename it "0PM9IMG.zip" and put it in the root directory of your external SD and from here you can do whatever you want. I used the bootloader to install it rather than TWRP.

Thanks

Until officially fixed:
Open the newest version, like lineage-15.1-20180313_142801-UNOFFICIAL-gts210velte.zip
Go to: \META-INF\com\google\android\ and there extract updater-script
Open with Notepad++. Starting on line 2 you can see all supported loaders. Modify one of them to yours. Save and move back to the zip file overwriting the current file.
DONE.
