Ok I been at this all day, I rooted my phone and read the guides all over the web, but no matter what I do I cant get the Rom to load. I dont want to be stuck using RC 29. Every time I try the update.zip I get
finding update package...
opening update package...
E: cant open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted
Press home+back to reboot
I dont get it, what am I doing wrong? I really didnt want to start a noob thread but Im stuck here. I tried 3 different roms but they all do the same thing. I really want to use Cyanogen with the dark theme.

Make sure your settings on your PC aren't such that you are inadvertently naming the files update.zip.zip. In some instances, Windows will append the file name automatically. To check if this is the case, go into My Computer>Tools>Folder Options and see if "hide extensions for known folders" is checked or unchecked. If its checked, then you need only to rename the file to update and windows will automatically put the zip on it. Have you installed Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image? This will allow you to not have to worry about this problem as it lets you flash any image with a .zip extension.
Wow That was It! Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!1 My 8 hour headache is gone now!!!

Glad to help! I still stand by my original recommendation of installing Cyanogen's latest recovery image (1.4 currently) if you haven't done so already.
If you check back on this thread, can you please edit the title to say [SOLVED] so everyone knows that the problem has been handled?
i went thru the steps here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573
and everything seems to work
i am using the 2gb sandisk sd micro card that came with my phone
step 22 is where things dont work
i tryed http://db.androidspin.com/android_build_information.asp and the cyanogenMOD and then several others
i always get the message ' installation aborted'
i thought maybe i was hitting extra buttons but i tried both the keyboard menu button and screen menu button (to start instillation)
i went back and tryed step 6 again and it wont load that update.zip (spl-signed.zip)
but (now i did this late lastnight and my memory isnt 100%) it did work the first time
now well i dont know what to do
from my understanding putting the update.zip on the root of the card is as simple as copying the update.zip to the card? (im using windows xp)
ok sorry if there is an answer somewhere but i tryed searching and could not find one
please help
thanks!
May be just a simple oversight, but make sure that Windows isn't inadvertantly adding the zip part to the file without you noticing. If you have the file extensions hidden (in windows explorer window under tools>folder options>view)
then the name of the file should be update. If you don't have the file extensions hidden, then the name should be update.zip
This has tripped many, many people up so just double check.
So my winxp is set to show file extensions and I as I understand the file would be update.zip.zip ? Well this is not the case but thank you
:/
no one else has had this issue ? Really ? Lucky me :/
Hey, does it just say "Installation Aborted" it shud say something before that...such as cant chown blah blah...(a reason basically)....also i had file transfer problems in xp too one quick way to solve it is get a hash verifier and make sure the update.zip on ur sd matches that of the dev's md5...
So no it doesn't have any other message if it did I would post it :/
Hey could somone try emailing me an update.zip that has worked rentoneffATgooglemail.com

Hi guys,
I have a verizon cdma 7" gtab.
I downloaded and extracted the latest system apk from the P1000XWJMK rom.
I tried to update some of the applications just by copying the new ones using root explorer.
To experiment I tried with:
- AlarmClock.apk: after replacing the apk the application disappears and does not work
Then I tried to put files of the Touchwiz Calculator (that is not present in the CDMA version) but nothing.
I also tried to install that but I get an error.
Can anybody help?
Shouldn't that apk be interchangable?
Thanks,
Lorenzo
i think , i said i think , they may work if you settle the permission as
read ( check the 3check box )
write ( check the 1st one only )
and un-check all the others
try it now and reboot if its going to work it will work like this , if it doesn't work , means it wont fit probably they will work

Thanks for the answer but I already tried by changing permissions and rebooting.
Nothing
You should try using 7zip and open archive, modify the contents and push back via Root Explorer... you ever tried that approach?
Hi there anyone!
This is my first post ever so I'm sorry if it's not the right place, but I really need help with this thing.
I used to have XPosed Framework running on my old Doogee DG550, and it was real fun. Now I got a Doogee F5 running Android 5.1 and I decided to put XPosed it too.
However, I'm finding it extremely difficult, as I got "stuck" while trying to follow the guide in this post.
I've installed the XPosed Installer just fine, I can see it in my apps, but of course it still says I need to install the Framework. So I downloaded the version mentioned in that post, which is xposed-v85-sdk22-arm64.zip and then the Official TWRP App I found on the PlayStore.
Then I simply tried to open the app and find the file while searching through my folders, but the app couldn't recognize it. So I tried extracting it in a folder and then pointing out the entire folder to the app, and this failed too. I tried opening every single folder within the .zip file, but yet no usable file was found.
Now I'm kinda stuck: I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, and as you might have already figured out I'm a real noob at this.
If any of you people can help, that would be great!
Hello !
I'm trying to create simple as fk module... I edited system app and would like to replace already existing system app with it via magisk. I want to utilize magic mount to replace apk every time phone boots.
I tried reading guide on how to make module and the magic mount section says that everything is already in place for doing exactly this , I just need to place files inside module's system folder and everything is supposed to work but the first attempt went rly bad :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/ha-zip.5410919/?hash=036cbc145f7ed9195b564f943507950f
It didn't even get past unzipping no matter what I did - i made sure to keep all files in root of the folder , used various zip apps and levels but nothing...
Copying zip to temp directory
! Unzip error
So I obviously fled something up by creating module form ground up... Went and downloaded template from here :
GitHub - gedoor/magisk-module-template: template
template. Contribute to gedoor/magisk-module-template development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
Added my files to system folder , update description and edited the config.sh to add REPLACE="
/system/app/PowerKeeper
"
Zipped it and more errors... At least it unzips it alright now but idk what this error means during install :
- Copying zip to temp directory
- Installing Ha2.zip
/data/user/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk/cache/flash/update-binary: line 146: /data/magisk/sepolicy-inject: not found
/data/user/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk/cache/flash/update-binary: source: line 167: config.sh: not found
Archive: /data/user/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk/cache/flash/install.zip
inflating: config.sh
! Installation failed
I realize the template that I've downloaded might be broken ... If anyone could look into my first link that I've shared or the file that I've attached that would be great! I'm not sure what or where to start from in order to get this working...
Ty!
You've got everything you need, but the update-binary and updater-script files need to be in the META-INF directory tree, see here for details on what the installer needs to look like:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#magisk-module-installer
The template you found failed because it's 4 years old. A lot has happened since then and Magisk's internals are very different nowadays.

Thanks a lot !!!
I see you help other people too years ago , I was hoping you'd help me out too but didn't really think pming you based on some years old thread is the best idea and here you are lmao o:
It installed well now ! I'll go reboot , fingers crossed I don't end up in some bootloop (• ▽ •
Ty again!
Usually, the best way to summon me is to turn off the lights and say my name three times into the mirror. But posting in the Magisk forum works too (this is pretty much my home here on XDA and I always keep a close eye on what's going on here)...
Glad I could help and good luck with the modules.

Ah can u help w bootloop now xD
Safe mode doesnt get magisk to disable module gotta delete it now... How though?
Idk if I wanna mess with magisk module uninstaller or if uninstalling whole magisk gets rid of module...
Will going to /data/adb/module and removing module fodler from there fix it ?

Ha ha! Not uncommon when testing modules you've made...
Removing the module from /data/adb/modules is almost always a surefire way of fixing things.
Interesting that Safe Mode didn't work... You had the Magisk patched boot image installed still?
