It probably has .zip.zip. Download Astro from the market and look at the file. Also it must be all lower case.
This should be in the Captivate general forum. You would get a lot more responses there.

[Q] Installing ROM ?

Hi
I have bought a new Samsung Note 10.1 GT-N8000 from China market. I want to install other ROM so that I remove all Chinese stuff from it.
I have downloaded an original ROM image from genuine link of almost 1 GB. Now when I am trying to install through clockwork-mod it says Cant open the package .
The issue I think is because of two files in zip
1) KIES_HOME_N8000DDBLL2_N8000ODDBLL2_541027_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
2)SS_DL.dll
Is this zip is OK to browse or should I unzip it on my pc first and extract some of the folder structure and then browse in galaxy.
I have seen that if I unzip the first md5 file . it has .img files.
I have searched forum for this clarification but didn't find it anywhere
Please help.

Tar and tar.md5 files are flashed with ODIN, not CWM.

[Q] Manually backing up /efs

Hello all, thanks for your time.
I have a quick question that I couldn't find an answer to on these forums or anywhere online. The problem I'm having is making a backup of my /efs file. I attempted to post this in the Q&A sticky post but it wouldn't let me, due to not having enough posts. Anyways, on to the question/problem:
I want to backup my /efs file, but I can't seem to find a way. All the apps I have tried don't recognize my device ( Galaxy Note II SGH i317 ) and EFS Pro either finds an error in mismatching md5s or has an error "accessing archives." I should have backed this up before I rooted and flashed CleanROM 5.0, but as they say, hindsight is 20/20. Anyways, my question is how do I manually copy the file? Most posts I have read hint at this being an option, but a noob like me doesn't even know how to get to the file in the directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially a guide through the directory to the file.
Semi-related question: does a CWM recovery file backup the /efs? I've read conflicting information on this. Thanks again!

How to fix failed to mount preload? (NEED HELP ASAP!)

Hey, so when I try to restore my backup with TWRP I always get this error "Failed to mount '/preload' (invalid argument)"...
On YouTube, I didn't find any working solution. I really need help with this issue, so pls respond asap if you can help me.
I really appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance!

Is your TWRP ported from another device? This error happens when there is no partition called prelaoder on your device OR if your mount points are not correct. Extract the TWRP and your stock recovery. Copy file called goldfish from your stock recovery to TWRP. you will find it in the ramdisk folder. This file contains all the mount points. If this file is missing try to find other files with mount points

How can I solve it, can you explain step by step please, I am a beginner in the custom rom and yesterday I got screwed when I was trying to install magisk and a multi nose file, I had to press the other one because I saw a video installing it, it seems that it was not compatible
