Hi guys new to this loaded the android rom onto my hd2 htc works great but when i restart it keeps coming up with failed to find rootfs on sd card. You need to unzip a rootfs zip file pls help
pls in simple instructions as i am new to this thanks guys
I had the same problem...
I was reading some posts and saw some people saying to delete the "Android" folder that is automatically created by the Android OS.
I decided that if that worked, then during boot sequence it must look in the "Android" folder for the rootfs file, I copied all the Android files from my sd card root to the "Android" folder, having the all the files in both locations (sd card root and Andoid folder). After i did that it booted fine. Deleting the folder is great if it works, but then you are not able to use a dual boot program if you must delete the folder each time because it is created again.
Anyways...it worked for me, so good luck!

Hi All,
I found the HD2 android download from Darkstone and I downloaded all three downloads and tried all three. I followed his directions however I keep on getting the following error,
"Failed to find rootfs on SD Card. You need to unzip a rootfs zip file to the root of your SD Card"
I unzipped all the contents and the RootFS is in the files so I am not sure why its not finding it and I am getting this error
I would normally search the Thread to find this but the thread is about 300 pages long. If someone has obtained this error before please help me out.
Thanks for all help or sending me in the right direction.

put all files on to the root of your sd card not a sub directory make sure your radio is 2.10 or higher and have hspl
Hello,
I tried with root explorer, all seems ok, but after reboot created files and folders in internal memory disappear.
Where on the Internal Memory are you placing them? If their in / they will disappear when the phone reboots because the root filesystem is actually a ramdisk with /system, /data and /cache mounted on them and symlinked to fit. (I believe.)
i see so ... i want to write some files in /data/data/com_adobe_flashplayer/lib/ as wrote here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359506 but after reboot they are gone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's because the package for "com_adobe_flashplayer" doesn't exist. It seems that the path might have gotten changed by the board for looking to much like a URL. Replace the underscores with periods and you should be good to go. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
Hope I solved your problem
Alternatively, the post you linked contains a update you can flash through recovery that should fix your problem easily.
Hello, i need a bit of help, ive got my original .img file from TNT.
i had windows when i installed it first time, i have Linux mint 17 now .
i tried with neighbors win 7 machine but i can tget the tablet recoged by any means, i think the usb port is buggered up
nothing works.
any way i can install from external sd card, is there any way to mod the img to install from sd card similar to the Decontaminatv3.1.zip
iv installed tnt software and can mount the system folder have a copy of it converted to ext4(was a real pain)
decontam just gets renamed to install.zip and goes right in, just wish there was a linux based converter that didnt require an enlarged brain to operate
put img file in folder
start app
press button to convert .img to install.zip
copy install.zip into sd card
done and happy!!
any body have any ideas?
IMG is a completely different Packing of Source files. Those typically can not be converted into Zip files as their signature is integrated.
Please post Device details so we can help further.
I was using the resurrection remix rom, and needed to do an update, so I did what it said and downloaded the files I needed, saved them to my micro SD card in a folder I created and named "root". I did the wipe and erased everything following the instructions on that page, and now I'm trying to install the files so I can flash them and that root folder is not showing up! Nothing is showing up in my sd directory. I have two directories; one says sdcard, and the other is named external_SD. Inside the external_SD folder is a LOST.DIR file that's completely empty. Inside the sdcard folder is a TWRP file which is also empty and I'm freaking out now because I don't know how to get to my SD card. Everything is saved to my sd card and I have no access to the files I need and my phone is wiped now and doesn't have a rom installed and I have no idea or way to get a rom installed now. I don't know what to do and I'm panicking. If anyone knows what to do in this situation I will be eternally grateful.
I was able to get into download mode and use Odin to install factory firmware. This issue has been fixed.
