zipping problem

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.

I can zip any folders in my pc,but always recovery writes:"installation aborted" , it's because of my pc not my phone because i have flashed over 50 roms till now.

And it's for everything if i extract any rom for example a then i zip i will get this error too.
Thx for your help

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.

[Q]Is there a way to get out of fastboot?

Sorry if the question isnt clear, here is my delemma
So My N5 I had deleted the system partition (or folder) and I no longer had a rom, now my problem is that I cannot get a new rom installed.
I have TWRP as my recovery but no roms.
I also cant do adb sideboot, It always says: Error: Device not found
What Can I do about this?
Does adb Sideboot need usb debugging enabled?
Thanks!

Sounds like you may have to install the drivers for adb on your computer

Why not just flash the factory images from fastboot?

So I tried to using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509428 one of mthe multi tools, and it seems to go through and it stays boot looping in the boot animation.
hrmm.... very weird
EDIT: Ok I was able to flash stock via the direct google link, Now a question about adb sideload, How does that function? Do I have to have usb debugging enabled?

1. Go here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. Download the Nexus 5 Android 4.4 (KRT16M) image.
3. Unzip.
4. Run the .bat file while in fastboot.
That's it. It's going to wipe everything but atleast it will work.

Having a little trouble I was hoping you could help clarify how to run the .bat file while in fastboot. I tried to flash the image and I am still stuck on a bootloop. Thanks

Windows batch file = .bat file. If you're going to screw with your phone, at the very least you should probably make sure explorer shows all file extensions...

[GUIDE] Deodexing your custom rom the easy way

Hello Guys,
@android.zealot.fervor wanted me to post this guide so why not
There is already a guide by Panda00 but that one is a bit outdated...
Requirments:
- A Windows PC
- Zip opener (7zip,winrar,winzip)
- Dsixda's kitchen and cygwin
- sgs2ext4.jar
- linux reader
- A Brain and hands
So let's begin:
Step 1)
- Download the stock firmware from sammobile samsung-updates search for yourself and open the file with 7zip inside the file you will find a md5 file open that with 7zip it should give you a error ignore that! Take out the system.img and open up sgs2ext4.jar and drop the system.img into there now after some time the system.img.ext4 will be placed onto your desktop!
Step 2)
- Open up Linux Reader and mount the system.img.ext4 drive open it up and take out only the app and framework folder save them to your desktop!
Step 3)
- Now make a WORKING_DEODEX folder name it exact as i say you and make inside that folder a system folder! drop the app&framework folder in the system folder and copy WORKING_DEODEX to C:/kitchen or where ever you have kitchen on your PC!
Step 4)
- Open up kitchen with cygwin by typing in the following:
cd C:/kitchen and hit Enter! (I take the C drive as example but your drive letter could be diffrent!!!)
sh menu Hit Enter again!
Now it should load up kitchen if not do not ask me!
go in kitchen to advanced options by typing in 0 and after that go to 11 now select the correct api version it should be 17!
Now type in b for deodexing both folders! let kitchen do his work here this can take up to 20min!!!
Step 5)
When kitchen is done go back to your C:/kitchen drive and take out the system folder of the WORKING_DEODEX and drop it onto your desktop!
What you need to do now is download the zip file from the attachments and drop the system folder in it!
Step 6)
Copy the zip to your device and flash enjoy your deodexed phone!
Credits:
Panda00 for his zip file
CoolDevelopment for his CWM

Some things you need to know:
1) secemail_j will not deodex!!!
2) you must be on the firmware you are deodexing!
3) Install custom recovery for flashing

I dont know why ts not working for me. After re-packing, it gives a file "new-image.img" and not "recovery.img". And also reccovery folder gets a "new-image.img" automatically. If it is supposed to work like this. Even this I tried to flash it on my mobile (MI3), it loses CWM whole and goes directly into fastboot. Thanks it didnt brick my mobile but something is definitely odd when repacking.

Sure, I renamed the "new-image.img" as recovery.img and put it back into old Cwm.zip And got the fastboot. Lost recovery completely two times. Thanks for reply though.

Thank you very much for sharing

Thanks for sharing. But I can not see any system img files via 7zip without previously repaired. May I use repaired system img files?

You must be doing something wrong. I've tried WWE and Orange PL and both extract without repairing.

Thanx mate later that day ill extraxt System dump an share it with you guys.

Thanks for the DiskInternals thingy
Since i never needed to extract a System.img I never looked for a method but I will remember this. Seems fairly straightforward.
And thanks for the creds.

I will try this one.
Btw, i made a backup with twrp. Ia there any way to get the backed up system.emmc.win file extracted? Renaming it to .tar doesn't work.
What I try to achive is an extracted ROM so I can deodex the apks

add .tar to the end of each image and under Linux or cygwin use tar -xvf xxxx.tar

Hmm... Hoped there's anything for win 8.1
...setting up cygwin
Edit: @LeeDroid
Nothing happens when doing the command in the cygwin window...

Worked like a charm
I did have to edit the ConvertHima.bat and remove the line set wf=%cd%\ for it to work
but everything else was spot on .. thanks!!
Anyone need the 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_L50_SENSE70_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.32.617.6_R2_Radio_01.01_U11440221_59.04.50303G_2_F_release_426167_signed.zip
System.img or Dump

Worked great I think. I did get an error, and I received this error 4 times for sparse.img, 2,4,6,8. Here is the error: - "1 [main] sparse2img 7912 find_fast_cwd:". It also says "WARNING Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to the public mailing list [email protected]". I wrote cygwin, and got a reply from a Marco stating, "Dear Hal, Same answer as given last month to another guy". Then gave me this link https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-05/msg00318.html. Followed by, "Please report the solution to whom provided the ConvertHima.bat". The answer in the link basically says a utility called rsync is being used, and the person who provided it is bundling it with an old version of the cygwin kernel. I did however get a new system_hima.img, and I started ConvertHima.bat. After completion I have what appears to be a complete system image. It's 3.53Gb in size, and has the folders - app, bin customize, etc, fonts, framework, lib, lib64, lost+found, media, priv-app, tts, usr, vendor, xbin, and has the file build.prop. It appears to have all the Deodexed APK's in app and priv-app. This is from the T-Mobile RUU. I'm using Window 8.1.

I'm trying to create a system dump (1.40.708.9)but was stuck at step 2. Where can I download my ROM.zip?

That could be true. Seems like this is to extract M9's rom from an RUU and not from the phone itself.
