[Q] ZIP to IMG. - General Questions and Answers

Hello.
I got a ROM in a .zip format.
I can't flash the rom through CWM so I tried to extract the ZIP, flash the boot.img and push the rest of the files, it didn't worked.
How can I convert the .zip file into a .img file so I can flash the rom through the toolkit?

But that's okay, I flashed something through the adb and now the CWM is working.
Thanks!

are you on stock kernel as well?
that was my issue - was stock rom, rooted, cwm and marmite kernel
had to flash back the stock kernel via fastboot and then apply the OTA via cwm
cheers

do you have some other mods on your system (like face unlock, galaxy nexus sounds as described in the ROM thread you mentioned)?
did you try to fix permissions in cwm and give it another shot?
did you try to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing (that's even recomended from some devs)
The OTA is for JB JRO03E only (not for JRO03L)
Another possibility would be to flash the 4.1.2 factory image, but you will loose everything (it's a full wipe!)
For OTA you should be on stock recovery. Flash back stock recovery with fastboot (take recovery from stock image from Google).

You just need to flash the stock recovery, not the whole image...
Download a stock image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307
Let's say I download JZO54K Android 4.1.2
You should end up with a .tgz file. Extract it. (soju-jzo54k-factory-36602333.tgz)
You should have a .tar file. Extract it. (soju-jzo54k-factory-36602333.tar)
Then you should have a folder, in that folder there will be a few files including a .zip file, extract it (image-soju-jzo54k.zip)
From the files you just extracted, you should have a recovery.img file.
Using fastboot, you flash this recovery.img file to the recovery partition, and voilà, you have stock recovery.

No I cannot upload the recovery.img for you sadly, I cannot download stuff from where I am.
Yes this is the command. Don't forget to replace the /path/to/recovery.img by the actual path.
No you will not lose root and no your bootloader will not be relocked.

path to recovery? this is where you saved recovery.img on your computer...
I always copy the things I want to flash via fastboot to the directory where fastboot is located
e.g. c:\fastboot\
ok. i flashed the stock recovery but i didn't make it! anyway i'm going to flash a full package and full wipe
thanks for your helps.
maybe your search fix you flashed is prventing you from updating with the ota...
sorry it didn't work out for you...

Well .img would be alright coz I can flash it with ODIN, but I'll try this.
Thanks
EDIT: Wait, I need .tar.md5 of the recovery to flash with ODIN, right?

[Q] CWM on Xperia L

Hi,
i'm trying to install AOSPA on my Android, and for this I need a kernel with CWM on my device. To flash the kernel .zip, I think that I need CWM, but how I can install CWM on my device? Should I flash the boot.img contained in the .zip of the kernel via flashtool?
You should first make sure you have unlocked the bootloader. If your device is unlocked then you can flash boot.img on fastboot mode from flashtool or adb

What about the other files in the .zip (like the system folder)?

After you have unlocked the bootloader flash boot.img. That will give you CWM. I can recommend Phantom latest kernel version After reboot use CWM to flash AOSP on it. You need to place AOSP on the memory card or internal memory before though.

Sorry forget to mention that. First copy the zip file on your external SD card. Then flash boot.img. After you flash the boot.img. You will get CWM. Press volume down buttom multiple times to get into the CWM. After you get to the CWM install the zip. You are done now.
P.S.: The zip contain modules for wifi. If you haven't flash the zip file you won't get wifi working. At any time you can flash the zip file.

Did you modify anything on /system or any other partition other than /data?
If not, flash back stock recovery and see if it wants to install OTA.
Or you could try flashing the full firmware using Firmware Finder.
To get recovery, download your firmware from http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database
Extract the zip.
Download Huawei Update Extractor.
Open update.app in HUE.
Right click on Recovery and extract.

Extract the one named Recovery. Not recovery2.
It should extract as RECOVERY.IMG. Right click on Recovery in HUE and select Extract Selected.
And question, SuperRoot or SuperSu?

The recovery image is inside the zip file. You just have to extract it from there.
