I am aware that this is my third thread about asking questions but these questions are pretty much precise and hard to find just googling online, especially when this is my first time Rooting/Flashing ROMs.
I tried to apply the ROM and it didnt continue, it said it was aborted or something
it says
cant open \rom folder name
"bad"
Installation aborted
Hi,
U may need to give more specifics.....
Phone type?
Root method?
Which ROM is giving u the problem?
Which ROM are u currently on? Or is it ur first ROM after root?
Are u installing via recovery or ROM manager?
Lastly, I'd put this post in whichever ROM u are actually trying to flash since the development crew monitor that thread of their ROM.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
Phone type? Nexus S i9020a
Root method? manual root using command prompt in computer
Which ROM is giving u the problem? pretty much any rom, maybe Im putting it in the phone's memory the wrong way?
Which ROM are u currently on? Or is it ur first ROM after root? Im using cyberGR rom right now, but I had to do it the easy way and download it through ROM manager. Im hoping I could learn doing it manually
Are u installing via recovery or ROM manager? see above ^^^
to be honest I dont really know how to put the rom inside the phone... what I did is I just unzipped it to the folder inside the Nexus S( mounted storage to PC)
went to recovery and picked that folder, but then it says:
cant open \rom folder name
"bad"
Installation aborted
Ahh. Don't unzip it. Throw the .zip itself on the phone.

and same applies for custom themes,widgets, launchers,icons ect? How do I access it through the phone?
Any flashable zip can be installed by going to "install zip from SD card" select the zip file and it will install automatically.

If the author of the zip file says: "Flashable through CWM (Clockworkmod)" then it can be installed in this way. No unzipping required.

Are you sure you have cwm on there? Top of ROM manager, reflash cwm. Doing it manually is simpler than from manager. Just boot into recovery, wipe what you need to and install the relevant .zips.

its sounds like you dont have a custom recovery installed. if you did flash clockworkmod recovery from rom manager(i hate that app), chances are that your custom recover disappeared. try flashing cwm recovery through fastboot.

This morning, Koush and I have been working on / stumbling through getting recovery running on a Evo without using a PC for devices rooted with a test image. The same technique also applies to the Legend and Desire. Presenting...
fake-flash!
Fake-flash using a similar concept to the original root method, it launches a recovery image from the test image recovery, but instead of pushing the files from a PC, the files are extracted from an update.zip on the SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can now download and install the recovery via ROM Manager! It's a free app on the Market. Buy the premium version to support my work!
ROM Manager will ALSO install the recovery update.zip to /sdcard/update.zip. So if you ever hose your installation, simply start up in test/stock recovery mode, and navigate to apply sdcard:update.zip! And you'll be in ClockworkMod recovery!
Preparation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
ROM Manager is by FAR the easiest way to install this. It's free! Go get it! For manual installation, use the following link:

Link doesn't work on my evo
Koush?
Can this be done from the ota update or do i have to flash back to the first original stock evo rom?
I don't see wipe davlik cache, only cache altogether. i'm assuming this wipes the dalvik as well, is this true?
Can some 1 post thr links again I cant find them
I'm speechless Great job
So do we need to rename the download in the original post to update.zip since it is something else by default?
Edit: Nevermind. ROM Manager is bad-ass (except that reboot into recovery doesn't work).

what color the fonts are? is it blue? if it is then its not 2e and how many options do u get just 4? u r in 3e....EDIT: Check ur Pm
Click on flash CWM recovery. Then reboot in recovery to check if it is installed. If not, pull out your battery, put it back and reboot see if this does the installation procedure.
Also, I would advise you to flash a kernel which have CWM baked in rather than using ROM Manager.
insert facepalm here
if you are on recovery 2e, flash CWM, reboot to recovery, reinstall packages, phone reboots to recovery, reinstall packages again, BAM! you are in CWM
its only covered by about 5 million tutorials on these forums, interwebs, youtube, my grandma, etc

hi friends,
i have a big problem with my pc,
i have tried many zipping softwares but every time i want to install .zip files from the recovery it shows:"installation aborted"!
it's really bad for me because i should zip folders with my phone! & sometimes i can't...
can you help me pls?
You are not making things clear?!!
firstly,your PC can't zip files or your phone?
and what has zipping softwares gotta do with your phone's recovery???
you can't just zip any folder and apply it your recovery!
if you are having issues with recovery, follow this guide and install latest recovery.
if you have issue with zipping software in PC check you antivrus first..maybe it isn't allowing you to create .zip/.rar
Or just make a virtual machine on pc and zip your folders if you don't want to re-install the whole OS again.

A zip file has to be "flashable" for it to successfully install anything to your phone through recovery (with an update script, etc, etc).
Also, English only please.

i have tried , this time it worked with deflate compressation method via 7zip, storing without compressing via 7zip,zipping using windows, & store by winrar.
it is strange!
but it didn't work by bzip2,deflate64, lzma & ppmd methods.
i should try with something else too.
thx
& also if i just decompile an apk file & then compile it without any changes,then it won't work!:crying:
try 7-zip 7-zip.org or use xplore app for android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en to dicomplie or make flashable zip this app is working great for me.

The picture isnt showing....
But ur recovery may need to be updated.
Can u flash one of ur backups?
If so, boot up and update ur recovery.
Then just make sure u have correct ROM version for ur phone.
I hope that helps.

There I fixed the picture, but no I cant flash any of my backups because I deleted them for some reason some earlier backup was not working and the second one I delete it by accident. And the roms form my cell I have been getting the right ones from nexusshacks.com and cyanogen website. I was thinking in something more like pushing the rom thru a computers comand prompt thast my next step.

Do you consider updating your recovery and rom?
My next step will be using the odin called tool for restoring everything. I'll let you know how it goes.

What is it you're trying to do? AFAIK you're on official bootloader. This won't do anything more than flash an official ROM. If you have this ROM on your sdcard, it'll locate it automatically and starts flashing it. If you want to flash other custom roms, you need to install custom recoveries like CWM ot TWRP. Make sure you follow the instructions and pay particular attention to what official ROM you're on (Hint: search forum for pertinent threads). From where I'm sitting, the first thumb is not that clear, but I'd guess you're on 4.2 since it doesn't have the fastboot USB icon. Mistakes can brick your tab.
i was trying to install cyanogenmod 10 on my system, but i folllowed instructions about getting into a bootloader,and to wipe it off data and cache,i did that but that after that is says that i have to install from sd card. i cant find that selections, i got cyanogenmod on my sd card, but how do i install that cym on my tablet,and yes i'm on the version android 4.2.1.....

Check this thread out. You'd need to install a custom recovery first (I always rely on TWRP for this tab) using ADB. Then you can flash your favorite CM10 with it. Post your questions if you have difficulties following the instructions. Have fun.
in this tutorials does not shows how to install a cyanogenmod 10,,it only shows how to update, for update i have done that, and for rooting its all done, but i dont see nowhere about installing cym10...
Flash CM10

You gotta have custom recoveries to flash CM10. Since you're on 4.2.1, you want to follow instructions here to downgrade to 104220 official. Once there, install a custom recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0), then flash CM10 in accordance with this thread. If you prefer CM 10.1, search in development section. There are at least 2 or 3 threads.
