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.

Hey all,
I have been around here for some days now and got almost every Info I was looking for but now there is something...
I downloaded a Rom (Shipped and rebuild I think) and opened it with the HTC Image Editor. There I took the "os" and there the "imgfs"
There I found all the files, some where already known (the weather xml i.e.) and some I just messed around with after I extracted the files.
My Question now is : If I modify any file in this "imgfs" will it still be possible to flash this Rom ? And, is there a file that tells the Rom what to install ? Like a Autostart File or something ?
The Point is that I downloaded many very nice Roms from here and so on but every Time I find things I don´t need or I don´t want. So it would be nice to build my very own, small Rom just for me
I am 100% sure those Questions were asked already but I searched and searched... I really hope that someone here will grab his time and help me poor dummy out
Nice, very nice Forum !!
Thanks for any constructive Answer
Hello folks !
I'm kind of new to the Android world (got my X8 like a month ago). I rooted one week ago and would now like to install racht's Floyo 0.15 on my phone.
I installed xRecovery just fine. The only thing I can't figure out it how to deal with the ROM... It's a RAR file... When I unrar it, I get 4 files : cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5 and system.img. What should I do with those ? Zip them in an update.zip file ? That what I would do but I don't want to screw up so I'm asking here just to be sure. I searched around on Google and here and didn't seem to find any similar threads... Am I right or wrong ?
Thanks in advance !
Know your file extentions!
Allways check any file extentions for PC/Linux/Unix/Mac/Android/WinMo at
http://filext.com
rar - packed archive
img - image file
md5 - checksum file
Start reading the Android WiKi here on xda-developers and educate yourself first.
Have fun,
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?

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...
hey there, have some questions regarding Step 2 Recovery from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
for some reason, it won't let me post as i have less than 10 posts.
so, going straight to the questions:
1) i downloaded SDK, now, do i have to install it? i actually installed it without knowing if i should or shouldn't and have no idea what to do with it.
2) was i supposed to extract the the Official CWM of koush? downloaded this one rather than Paul's interim but i didn't know what to do with it, so i just extracted into C:\fastboot
3) when he says "Place the CWM File where the fastboot.exe is (Downloaded with the SDK)" does he mean place the extracted bits with the installed SDK program into C:\fastboot? or does he mean leave the installer as is with the zip file as is in c:\fastboot? or a different combination altogether?
4) what is the name of the recovery in "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img"? i looked around and they said do recovery recovery, but that didn't work for me (couldn't find file error).
5) i have s4, is it wiser to go with the interim or official?
please feel free to ask if any of these questions are a bit confusing; tried my best to ask what i'm confused about. thanks for reading, and i'll greatly appreciate any help!
