Go to the sdcard and move the zip from the dl folder to the root of your sdcard.

Im very new to development on the Sidekick. I have my phone rooted and thats it. I want to put the final smooth maximus on it. How do I go about do that??
Additional info:
As I said I only have it rooted, I dont have CWM on it or anything else.
A step by step noob friendly guide would be helpful please.
Install CWM from here ,
Put the Update.zip on your /SDCARD
Install root manager from phone , put moddedrecovery on your /SDCARD then navigate it to /SYSTEM/BIN rename Recovery.bin to Recovery.bak then move krylon's there .

Go to files , go to place where you saved the .apk and Just click on it , then a option may come up say package installer click on that then it will install.
Hope this helped you.

Okay so I got everything done and it soft bricked so I used ODIN to unbrick it and when I retry to get into CWM it always errors out now, I've redone everything I originally did and it won't go back into CWM. Why?
Sounds like you didn't replace the recovery binary correctly if it's giving a "verification failed" error.
I did though, I rooted my phone using super one click, robooted it, replaced recovery in system/bin with krios' and left the update.zip on the root and it still didnt. I dont think it really rooted though..

okay so download the recovery file and move it to sytem/bit and overwrite the old recovery file. place the update.zip on to your sd card the volume down+power on should get you there! if its blue i think you have to press reintall packages
Try my script here, it'll place the recovery and cwm for you:

download:
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/recovery.zip (This is the recovery.)
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip (this is the update)
http://www.4shared.com/get/HpENkmN8/...rer_v2124.html (this is root explorer.)
open the first zip file (recovery file) on your computer and take out the recovery file inside it (should be the only file) and place it on the sd card.
place the second file (the update file) on the root of your sd card
and install (root explorer) the last file just like you would a normal apk file.
now open root explorer scroll down and find sdcard,
now open it and find recovery and long press on it. hit copy. now hit the back button once.
now find system. open it.
find bin. open it.
hit on the top mount r/w
hit paste and overwrite the file.
next, power down the device and instead of powering on regularly, press volume down+ power button or volume up+volume down+camera+power on you should be in the recovery mode.
if it is blue then hit re-install packages,
if it is red you should be good to go.
NOW YOU HAVE A CWM
Goodluck and have fun flashing.

okay I can get that far, but when I attempt to flash smooth mazimus on it, it will get to the tmo/sidekick/samsung screen and I'll hear a weird female robotic voice. 4 bricks, 1 with the FC vibrations, 3 with that weird voice.
I have downloaded all the files given in brian folder. I copied nandroid folderto my sdcard & then using open recivery i rebooted in recovery mode but nowhere i got an option to install nandroid files. Can some1 help me
Nandroid >> Restore
Don't forgot to make a nandroid backup before in case of you want to go back to stock without flashing a sbf.
i m not getting u to restore nandroid i shld get option to select it i dont get tht option
It sounds like you may be in stock recovery. We have to use a bootstrapped recovery called openrecovery. After you have installed openrecovery you get to it by holding the volume up key during a normal boot.

Confused so explaining so tht u can catch where i m dng a mistake
Using cincinnati bells instruction i updated to 2.2. Now my phone is fresh & new,just installed few games thts it, then i find BRAVO 2.2 & i want to use tht. So following his instruction i download open recovery & copy paste it in my sdcard & even the nandroid folder to my sd card & i find somewhere the apk file of open recovery & install it. Now by pressing volume up button i restart my phone & I get an yellow exclamation mark with a triangle the i press camera key + volume up button then this is where i reach & get the error (image) I have attached the image
For some reason your sdcard is not being mounted. I would check it out on a PC in a card reader.

so wht shld i do??? is der a problem with my sd card????
Reading your post, I think there is a step that was missed. Did you extract the openrecovery.zip? The extracted contents are what is in this folder sdcard/openrecovery.
Do you have this set up on your SD card?
Sdcard/openrecovery.zip
sdcard/openrecovery
sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery/<your ROM you want to restore>
**No spaces between**
Go to this thread and download and unzip this recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1242259) This is what we are all using now b/c of the customization that MZ put into it. Follow the directions.
Yes yes yes yes!!! U were right i missed tht step i got it working Thank u thank u
interesting...
Here is one more problem. I have installed this rom now after installation of this ROM i m getting an Error PLMN failed.
Check you APNs but IIRC the PLMN error didn't really matter. I saw it on Hellmonger's ROM. Might want to ask Linertymonger, I think he had a fix for that.
I rooted my phone (nexus s i9020a at&t) and have superuser and downloaded rom manager. I had no idea how to figure out how to flash a rom onto my device on my mac so I downloaded one of the many cyanogen mod 9's directly in rom manager. The rom loaded up perfectly and runs smoothly except there is no app market. When I try to go back into rom manager it force quits out.
I am very new to rooting and hacking into my phone and tried searching for hours and can't figure out what to do. If anyone knows how I can just flash a new updated version of cyanogen mod 9 without using rom manager that would be awesome. I really just need a step by step way to do it on the mac because every time someone posts a rom .zip file it downloads as a folder with random stuff in it and in recovery mode in my phone I don't know how to go about flashing it. So confused. Any help would be so appreciated.

Check your PM. I couldn't post links as it would have been my first post.
cm9 issue
thanks did you get my replies to your pm? i can't figure this out haha
download cm9 and the gapps add-on(with your phone) in the first post of the cm9 thread. boot into recovery, fimd your rom and gapps files, flash cm9 there, then flash the gapps(google apps), then reboot. you do not need rom manager.
Hmm cm9 does not come pre loaded with android app market so u will have to download the latest gapps from other posts in this forum... then copy it into ur phone from ur computer...then after going to cwm recovery use the volume up down buttons to scroll and the power button to choose...u will have to remember where u pasted the gapps file and u will have to navigate to it ...choose the gapps file and scroll down to yes to flash it then go back and reboot...that's it u will now have google apps in ur nexus s...Remember u do not need to open the downloaded gapps zip file as there is nothing u can do by opening it...good luck and happy flashing...

Must not of searched that much if you overlooked that. Gapps is separate. Read the post fully, please.

okay so i downloaded the g apps file and its a folder on my desktop with a few other folders within with random files. i go to recovery on my phone mount my phone drag this folder to my mounted phone. then i go back and do i do instal zip from sdcard? or do i do apply update from sd card? this is where I'm stuck idk where to go from here. if i click install zip from sdcard it makes me navigate and i find the name of the folder but it just brings me to the smaller folders and little individual files it's not just one big file but a bunch of little ones so i can't choose the whole thing.
so im confused
edit: so i guess on my mac when i download the zip file it must unzip it during download and becomes a folder. so i tried compressing the folder back into zip format and go back into recovery and load it but it says installation aborted.

So go to homescreen click left most bottom button which is settings then find applications then enable non market apps and you should see the right most tab is sd card rowser yay!:cyclops:
Snif I thought I had it all figured out apparently that sd slot was just for programs installed on the sd not to browse the sd for apk's to install, still need someway to execute .apk's without market/play playing around with the stock wifi I found out that it was not connecting and needed a push so eventually market worked and wallah problem solved! Imagine other peeps might not have this problem so anyone with a solution would be awesome still!!!
