If that's the firmware you need, just download it and put in a zip file.
right click on the folder then add to archive. use the compression method store.
That should work but do a backup before hand just in case.
I tried to zip it and rename it to update.zip and install it via cwm recovery but the recovery said that it failed on signature.. Something.,,

The file is already a zip file, it's just in the wrong compression method...
using winrar, open the zip file, then tools, then convert archive.
A box should appear, change the archive format to zip, and compression method to store.
Hi, isaias19, I also have a prototype o3d. I can not use it after rom(v10d, v10e) upgrade. If possible, could you post your v08 rom backup file using cmw?? Thanks.
@ modernbruce
we have the same problem , i did not backup my stock rom thats why iam searching for the v08 firmware. =C
Hi ,
For your case update.zip will not solve your problem.
you need dump your system and replace by another one:
To see your partition :
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
After try use these command to put your new system :

Flashable zip with correct signatures for CWM and TWRP?

Hi guys,
has anyone of you a flashable .zip with the correct signatures, so that flashing files will be possible both in TWRP and CWM?
If so, please attach, thanks!
The ROM's signatures here actually won't work with 4.4/CWM.

[Q] What's in the .zip file I flash?

Hello xdawesome forum,
If I want to make my own .zip file to flash it using CWM and boot in some linux distro; say debian, what should be included in this .zip file?
Is it as simple as putting my .img file in a .zip file?
I think your best option is to follow this tuto : whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian
If you try to flash directly a debian img, you'll miss some libraries and won't even boot.

[Q] Package boot.img into flashable zip

Hello everyone:
I am new to XDA. Sorry if I post this to the wrong place.
I am trying to pack my custom boot.img into recovery flashable zip file but without luck. I have find several relevant posts online. (I can not post them here because this is my first post..)
It seems the general step is to: [1] find a stock boot zip file. [2] replace the boot.img with your own boot.img. [3] repackage it and flash.
My issue seems to be the re-package part. Because even if I only unzip the original stock_boot.zip and then immediately re-zip., it will not work (the original one works though).
The error message I got from the CWM recovery is:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Installing update ...
Installation aborted.
This is not very informative.
I wonder what is the right way to zip the boot.img into flashable zip file? I just compress the dir into a zip file. What is the problem?
By the way, although I believe it does not matter, but the device I am working with is Galaxy S5 G900H, rooted.
Thanks a lot!
