hello...
i've searched and searched and can't find the answer....
if some dev can please tell me how to get around this i'd be GREATLY thankful!
Problem: when i make a ROM, i want to change the Software number & Build number of the ROM. so i change them in the build.prop.
once i do that, i zip up the file, put it onto my SDcard, boot my phone into CWM Recovery.
then i try flashing the ROM. it fails.
never works.
always giving me an error about how it can't open the file (bad)
i read somewhere in another forum that to get around that, you have to modify the updater-script... but which lines do i modify?
please someone help, i'm stumped...

I am looking for some guidance as to what I may be doing wrong here. I've followed the instructions here:
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/
and I've created an update.zip with all of the basic stuff that I do after a flash of DG's Cognition releases. It should put stuff in /system/etc, /system/media, and /data/gps. Every step has been followed to the T, however when I try to apply it, I get "Installation Aborted". It seems I can apply it through ROM Manager, but I'm hard-headed and want to figure out how to get it to work natively.
I've attached my update.zip for perusal, so someone might be able to see where I've gone astray.
Thanks for any help.
Hi can anyone help,
I am tying to install but having no luck.
By cab file I presume you are talking abut the 0CAB1286.006 file, when I try to run it, I get an error saying no program associated with this file.
Any help please

A cab file, is a cabinet file. Compressed used for installations in windows. Should have the extension ".cab"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973921 has the instructions, but not sure how many people use this app.
Also, you may want to move your post to the aforementioned page. You'll get better responses from the people who already use it.
Okay here is my problem I followed the following tutorial step by step until I got to step 7
addictivetips.com/mobile/install-gingerbread-based-miui-custom-rom-on-samsung-captivate/
After getting to that step they tell you to download cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar
from
sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/
I have searched everywhere for it and have come up with noting. I tried downloading the .zip file for it but odin doesn't take. zip files it only takes .tar .md5 etc..
If this is the right place to find this file please tell me how to go about getting the file. If someone can be so generous as to give me some in depth insite I would be very grateful. I am really lost right now and have my phone stuck in download mode as to not brick it.
Again thanks ahead of time for anyone who can help me find this file.
BTW I have a samsung captivate if that helps any. oh and sorry for the inconvenience of not posting a direct link. since im new here I am not allowed to post links.
Whats in the zip files
Does it contain he files you need
I am not quite sure what you mean when you say does it contain the files I need. But if you are talking about if I have all the files and completed alll the steps in the tutorial then yes I have.
I just cannot find the file mentioned in the tutorial that is called cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar........ I really need someone to point me in the right direction as far as this file goes?
Someone please help me it's been 8 hours that I have my phone in dowload mode as to not brick it. I just need this file... PLEASE HELP
Can someone please reply... I really need to use my phone again. I CANNOT MAKE PHONE CALLS... PLEAS E HELP ME
Try changing the zip extension to tar if that's what it's supposed to be. If you haven't already, unzip the file and see if what you need is inside.
EDIT: You may also want to check the Captivate forums here.
Why didn't you download everything before starting the process?

Hi guys,
I'm feeling a little stupid right now, but have just spent over 4 hours trying to find the actual zip file I need to download for a Paranoid Android ROM for a wildfire S.
Googled, found loads out about it, what it's like, how to flash it, but no link, please help me with my blindness.
/EDIT: I may have just fixed the problem. I didn't see that I can unzip through winrar. Doing so now.
/EDIT 2: Huzzah, it works! Well, kinda. I have the .zip on my SD card, however, the recovery menu isn't showing the "apply zip from sd card" I need to complete step 5.
What have I done wrong this time?
Hello, guys. Yes, I have searched before posting, yes, I did skim through the 8 pages of replies on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058944
No, I did not find a response. If I overlooked something, I do apologize, but as far as I've searched, I don't see any responses that would help me in my current state.
So. Here's what's going on. I used the attachment in the above link to try to remove all the bloatware from my T-Mo Mytouch 4G. However, I wasn't able to get very far. I've followed every step to the tee, until I try to open it with 7-zip, where I get this:
"Cannot open file 'C:\users\LePeaceMaker\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.834\updater-script' as archive"
When I try to do it outside winrar, I get this:
"Cannot open file 'C:\users\LePeaceMaker\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp1_bloatkill.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script' as archive"
I'm stuck and quite frustrated. If anyone can give me a hand with this, I'd be very, very greatful. Thanks!
