sorry guys but i made an "uh oh" and need help please! i had Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 & was attempting to flash the beta version. i had blue magic theme on my rom as well. Here are the exact steps i took: downloaded rom, put phone in clockwork recovery, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, wiped data, mounted system, flashed the zip & rebooted. Now i'm looped in the "blue magic" boot animation. what'd i do wrong & can it be fixed. i backed everything up too. i can get it into HBOOT screen by pressing power & down on volume key but am not able to scroll to any of the options. after a cple seconds it automatically selects HBOOT & asks if i want to install update from sd? i assume it's the gingrbread update but i've selected "no" every time so i could talk to someone first. right noe i'm on a publis cpu & it won't allow me to access the phone internals. i need admin passcode. i haven't messed much with playing with my phone thru a cpu so i'm not quite sure i'm even doing it right. sorry for my cpu lack of knowledge but i've adapted to android pretty well. Help please & thank u in advance
problem is that you have a PD98IMG.zip file on your sdcard....
pull the sdcard, boot into HBOOT, select recovery, then pop in the sdcard when you get to recovery

Yup. If you happen to have a PD98IMG.zip on your SD, bootloader will try to flash it everytime and you won't be able to access Recovery. Either pull the SD card until after you've selected Recovery like pirateghost suggested, or find a card reader/other device to read your card to delete PD98IMG.zip
Ok sweet. That got me back to clockwork, slipped the card back in once in recovery, clicked reboot and it still looped. It did say I had that file so I'm guessing I have to find a card reader and delete the file maually now or did I do something wrong?
Thanks so much for ur reply and it looks like I'm going to have to find a card reader and do it manually cuz it still loops. Thank u so much!
Just go in recovery rewipe and flash the beta rom only no themes yet let it reboot it should load right up I think the theme messed you up the bata rom is based I'm 2.3.4 so 2.3.3 themes wont work
sent from my unity loaded inspire 4G
Ok, did all that but Noticed before I rebooted that at the bottom where it shows the processes it's going thru, it says installation aborted. Says E:Can't open/Sd card/ download etc...2.33.0 BETA.zip....(bad). Do I still reboot or attempt to flash again?
Try going into mounts option in recovery and mount the external sd card.
Not giving option to mount. Only unmount so I guess I unmount and try to remount?
Try that and see if it works.
Aborted again. I'm getting worried friend
Still aborted. I'm getting worried friend
Don't worry. It will work out fine. Let me check something and I will reply momentarily.
Thank u so much for helping. I'm wishing I could pay u at this point
Don't worry. Turn off phone. Check to make sure sd card is properly inserted. Power phone back up and boot into recovery. Select install zip and see if you are able to view your files.
Well I can go to install the zip but still aborts
Try going to backup and restore and select restore. Select the backup you said you made and try restoring to your backup. You may have a bad download of the beta rom. Let me know if you can restore. Wipe first.
What happens If I scroll down to that PD98IMG.zip u were talkin bout. I see it on the zip file list...
You don't want to use that. That type of file can only be used in Hboot. It seems like you can see what is on your sd card so it is mounted. The rom file you were trying to flash may be corrupted. Unless you can get another rom on your sd card I would say restore to your backup until you can get another rom on your card and also delete that PD98IMG file.
if it says corrupted that means that your ROM file is corrupted or didnt fully downloaded.
1.Turn Off Phone
2.Take out SD Card
3.Vol+Power to Hboot
4.You will be at recovery mode.
5.Insert Sd Card back in
6.go to Mount
7.Mount your SD CARD(make sure USB is plugged in the computer)
8.Wait a little, your computer will have pop-up, if not go to My computer and click on your Sd Card.
9.Drag in a new fully downloaded rom into it.
10.Unmount the Sd Card
11.Happy Flashing!
sorry if this does not work, tried my best to help. This worked on me, so It should work for you as well.
another method is, if you got a Card Reader(micro chip goes in side a big chip) then put your ROM in their and delete the PD19 blah file, and skip steps 6 to 10
ok, so my TF101 is rooted and i had Android revolution 3.4.2 installed, i wanted to update to the newer Android revolution 3.5.0, i downloaded both the rom file and super-wipe full and placed them on my memory card. I then ran super wipe and started flashing my new rom, however when i did it said cannot open (bad). Now i cant get any further than the splash screen because i have no rom. I CAN boot to CWM 5.8.3.4 however it will no allow me to either
1.) mount my sd card to get a new rom installed, or
2.) when i put my TF101 memory card in my phone and then put the rom on it, the changes are not there after i put the card back in my TF101. It seems to have the same information for the files on my card as when i originally messed up.
Ive tried rebooting to recovery multiple times, i have even tried a different memory card, however CWM always shows me the same list of files.
Im really at a loss here and i would love some help. someone please give me some advice on what to do here.
fixed
Mods can feel free to close this, after much trial and error i finally for adb working and managed to push a new rom image and recovery to my memory card. I am now up and running
Hi everyone, I downloaded the Fantasy HD rom v11 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341030 and was very excited to start using it. After rooting my samsung s3 I9300 and installing clockworkmod recovery I copied the downloaded zip file to the my SD card, for some reason it would not copy and kept saying "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". So i ended up putting my SD card into a card reader and copied it that way and it finally copied onto the card. I loaded up recovery mode, selected install from zip and when I click the rom it says something like installing...(bad) and just stops. Please can someone help me with this I dont understand what is going on. I thought maybe the download was corrupt so I redownloaded the file and still wont copy to the SD card although other files copy to it with no error msg. Any help will be very much appreciated

Change It
And Check If The Rom Is Complete
So I researched for a couple of hours and followed a tutorial which didn't include the part where you need to place the .zip file of the ROM on your SD card. Turned my phone on and was stuck in boot. I then realized I needed to be in recovery mode and when I did that was when I figured out I needed to file on my phone. I copied the .zip file to my internal SD and after 75% completion my PC said it couldn't finish if I would like to skip so I closed it. The .zip appears on my phone now, but not when I try to view in my PC. When I try to copy over again the prompt "copying..." appears but the progress bar doesn't move. What do I do?
I started with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...om-v5-0-mod-control-floating-windows-t3016692
which led me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58520124&postcount=2
This explains why I never put the ROM on my SD and btw im using TWRP
Search for the full tar of your desire version, and Odin back to stock.

rom files come in zip format not rar format. check and download again and flash. Report any problem.
