ROM wont flash

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.

1. This does not belong in the dev section - next time post in Q&A section
2. Your signature says you are S-ON. If this is correct you cannot flash kernel files as is. You must either S-OFF or repack the zImage kernel file into a boot.img and flash using fastboot flash boot boot.img then flash the modules through recovery.
Tbh I would go for S-OFF because its much less hassle than the other way

Assuming you are on MIUI 2.7.13 (based on your signature) the sense based one then that is why. The newest MIUI messed up a lot of crap I was not able to flash bricked kernel over it either got the same exact error.

To solve your problem,
Format System Partition
Format Cache Partition
Otherwise, Even if you go back to the previous, It will not work, you have to reinstall everything from scratch.
Do you can reinstall 4ext Recovery.

The way I fixed it was by restoring from backup of viper rom, fixed the issue, tried installing miui again and see if it would allow me to install custom kernel, same error. it has to be due to the boot.image inside the rom

I think its because the MIUI China just had HTC Sensation updated to 3.33.401. That could create the problem

Im s-off and i couldnt install bricked kernel miui 2.7.13 and it worked on all the previous versions
I an error at the end when it flashed the. Modified boot image i got assert failed
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk 2

This Miui 2.7.13 has some bug

News?
Version 2.7.20, with error .... : (
I can not update the kernel.

Thank you for the replies!

what version of 4ext recovery do you have? install the latest 1.0.0.6 rc3

I also had that problem at first but after updating that $ext recovery touch to the latest version, it worked like magic.

Thanks for the reply!
But how can I install new recovery tool without turning my phone on?
I don't know the method, could you share me a link to the tutorial?

You might want to install "4EXT Recovery Updater" app. It's free and maybe easier to use than flashing it via pc.
You should always check the OP, they usually state if there is a brand new version of recovery required to flash that rom.

[Solved] Accidentally Wiped OS From Smartphone

Hello.
I was trying to do a factory reset when I accidentally wiped the os from 'my' phone.
I still can access to bootloader and I have TWRP installed.
I have no backups and no experience in the field.
How can I have 'my' phone back on track again?
Thank you very much.

download a custom rom
boot to twrp and flash it
if you are on S-ON after rom installation flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img

(Solved) Stuck on fastboot while re-downloading magisk (Asus ZMP M1)

Sorry for bad grammar or lack details
Hello this night I got a notification from magisk to update magisk manager to v22. When I install it, it says magisk unsupported ....... (I forgot what it says) magisk will act as its not downloaded. So I tried to uninstall it and downgrade to 8.0.4 and it required me to reboot. After automatically reboot I'm stuck on fastboot. So I go to TWRP and try to uninstall magisk and I got error 1 and I tried to install and it did the same message. ERROR 1. can someone help me as fast as possible? It's 8:51 PM at the moment and I have school at 6 AM

As the screenshot you provided implies, your boot partition seems corrupted.
Trying to figure out why can come at a later time, in the meantime try flashing a boot.img extracted from your current ROM (i.e a TWRP backup) or stock firmware (if you're on Stock). Using TWRP or fastboot should solve this issue.

Since I'm stuck on fastboot there's no way to extract it, so i just flashed the ROM zip file, and it worked. Thank You
