[Q] Unable to uncompress ROM file

Hi,
I have downloaded these files
Retail Indian - 5.5.1-EDEM-28-37-SEARET and Retail Indian - 5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET (Indian ROM with some cool features ) and I am dragging and dropping it in RSDLite and uncompressing it.
At the end of uncompressing it, I am getting this message "Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing."
After clicking OK, the path it displays is C:\IndianRetail-SEARET\system\etc\apns-conf.xml
Please advise. I want to change my rom from AT&T to Indian ROM.

Is that one of cogeary's International ROM's from here? If, so read the instructions in the original post - it is a cwm zip install. You must put it on your sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe data, and "install zip from sdcard"

If its a rom u shouldn't need to rsdlite it should be a restore or flash either cwm. Rsdlite is for fxz files. Correct me if I'm wrong

Little help needed
Thank you for your replies.
I understood few things. I use Sony Xperia S and the procedure is completely different than Motorola.
I want to install custom rom on my sister's phone.
Its an AT&T phone.
I want to install Victory Rom and the instructions he provided are below.
Installation Instructions - THIS IS A INSTALL ZIP (NOT BACKUP)
1.Put zip on sdcard
2.Back Up apps with Titanium backup
3.Make CWM backup
4.Wipe DATA(Factory Format),WIPE Cache and WIPE dalvik cache
5.flash zip
Now I am little confused here,
I will copy this file to SD Card and backup with Titanium
But my phone is not yet rooted and I dont have CWM
I understand CWM can be installed through ROM Manager and to perform Wipe Data should we do it from Settings in the phone or from CWM?
And the last step he mentioned to flash and need help how to do that with which software.
Sorry for so many questions, completely confused with Motorola.

yes its from the same place.
Is "install zip from sdcard" an app?

First of all, go HERE - and read up. You need to first root, then install the bootstrap, then you will be able to get into recovery mode (you don't need the ROM Manager app) - and then experiment with installing new roms/themes/mods.
First, I would recommend making a backup while in recovery mode. Also, possibly install CWM(Recovery) on Boot. Then you can go on to installing new roms... Information on all of this can be found by searching this forum. But, definitely ask if you're not sure of something before trying it. It's definitely a learning process.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot.
I rooted the phone and installed bootstrap and now i can see all the key words I have mentioned in my previous post.
hope I will be able to install custom rom without any problem.

Backup - few question

Hello, it's me again with new set of questions
My device is GT-I9001
1) What is Nandroid backup? Is it complete system image backup like Acronis True Image, created with CWM, because i have CWM installed?
2) I am planning to install CM9 on my device, is it possible to restore my apps completely with settings, and games completely with passed levels with Titanium (I've got Pro version). I need to know if any problem could arise when restoring? I also read not to restore system apps, my question is why?
3) Am I installing CM9 via odin or via cwm? I saw two files gapps and cm9, which is firstly installed?
4) How to wipe before installing custom ROM?
5) Could you find me Stock ROM for my phone, I've got no luck finding it? Here is PDA and CSC
http://fotkica.com/slika.php?slika=256965_167852444_SC20120720-222332.png
Thanks in advance, I am especially thankful if you answer me the questions detailed/for noobs...

1. yes, it is complete system image backup (can be created using CWM)
2. yes, you can restore apps including their settings via titanium backup.
3. please read the installation guide for your device.
4. wiping can be done via CWM
5. find it on your device sub-forum.

1) Ok, I understand...
2) There is still more questions I asked...
3) I cannot ask there until 10 posts, and it's a bit unclear/confusing to me...
4) I know that, what I need to wipe. I figured it's system, cache and dalvik...
Is it needed to go into mounts and storage and to format system, data and cache...
Is sdcard and emmc needed to be wiped?
5) I already said I cannot find it...

Anyone knows the answers?

2) if you just restore User-Apps you can not do anything wrong. Only if you restore Systemapps that are not for your new system.
If this happens you can easily restore your nandroid and start over again
3) Odin is more or less only for Stock Roms. CM is flashed through CWM
4) nope! If you do the Wipe, system, data etc. will be formated
5) you can easily find stock roms for almost every samsung device on sammobile.com

Thanks for clarifying
I searched every possible site, but still can't find my stock firmware

[Q] Laime L2+ Rom needed. Please help!!

Hi,
I've bought a Laime l2+ for my son, but it had a Chinese rom installed. I've installed Nova launcher so it's useable, but it doesn't have Google Play which causes problems with some apps that need it to run.
I've looked all over and keep hitting dead ends. How do I go about rooting and installing a rom that includes Gapps?
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
wich android version are you on? you can download the gapps in a flashable zip to install through cwm. Do you know how to do this or would you like me to guide you through step by step?
Also, when you are in recovery mode, could you make a backup of your current rom? (This is recomended anyway if you're flashing files through cwm for in case somthing went wrong)
And then afterwarth could you sent the backup file to me or http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=6123059 ? It's a file named somthing like "2015-04-24.18.03.57" (but with the date and time you made the backup) and it's on your sd card in the file clockworkmod->backup. The guy I linked to also has a laime l2+ but having bootloop and can only acces cwm. With your backup file, he would be able to make his phone functional again
Please hit thank you, as I'm taking the time to help you

TWRP recovery 2.8.5.0 - XOLO Q3000

TWRP RECOVERY - 2.8.5.0 - XOLO Q3000 with OTG support​
Procedure to follow
download the recovery.
then flash recovery using sptools /flashify /mobileuncle tool using these guides.
OR
if ur using any custom recovery from this thread then
get a flashable recovery which can be flashed from current recovery.
Just reboot to recovery for confirmation.
This is working recovery - tested by me.
flashed JB & KK rom.
Backup and restore without any issues.
OTG is also working properly - FAT/FAT32 formatted USB drives only.
As u all know our device has 6mb recovery partition size.
So while porting i need to trim the actual recovery.
U will not be able to partition ur sd card using this recovery.
Also u wont be able to root using this recovery.
For above issues we have better solutions.
Try and report.
​
For official change logs, see here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
Bugs:-
After mounting usb otg in recovery, to get back to the previous screen click the back key of the device.
Backup is stored in new folder storage/TWRP/Backups/Q3000/ date and name of rom
So if u want backups to be restored from previous versions of TWRP recovery just move the backup folders in above folder.
Use recovery with theme always - images are reduced in size so it may give graphical glitch when u use plain recovery.
Credits:-
 @carliv sir for base recovery.
@z31s1g for TWRP themes.

I was able to successfully restore my system 3 times till now without error.
No one else tried yet or no problems for them. (already more than 60 downloads still no reply)
(i am not having any system partition done - if u have any partition altered then it may cause this error)

Unable to create full backup as it left data in system and data partition, backup size is just 18 mb and created within 8 second....

@aaayush_singh @sachin.r.fulzele
I will recheck when i get the device.
Please use TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev 2.
Sorry for inconvenience caused.

@avi3230 I had successfully flashed this recovery and didn't face any error during backup/restore of the system rom.
Every thing went fine except when i try to flash a new rom it gives me some symlink error which then i replaced this recovery with Philz touch and am able to successfully flash all the roms. Thanks for your great contribution...

Hi sachin .. 2.6GB is the backup size of my rom(Legend v11)

Is it possible to use Aroma Filemanager without inserting external SD Card?

I had a problem in backing up once. The system backup size was only 29 kb. When I disabled screen timeout, it backed up full system & data partitions.

Help!!! (STUCK IN REBOOT LOOP)

So long story short I got myself in a reboot loop. I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed on my MHA-L29C636B110 and it's always rebooting itself until it reaches back to Huawei eRecovery. I tried everything I could by factory resetting on TWRP, reflashing SuperSU and data files, and still end up in constant reboot loops until I reach eRecovery. Please someone help me resolve this issue!

Did you try wipe+reflash the Rom?
If your afraid you'll lose data just backup using twrp and then use helium once your set to restore apps and data from the backup.

I can't seem to find a ROM for MHA-L29C636B110. Also I don't have a SD card so if I do find the ROM, do I just flash it on TWRP? I tried everything I could think of and it always leads me back to reboot loop to eRecovery

Which SuperSU did you install?
And did you decrypt first if the supersu you're installing needs decryption?
If you didn't 'Format Data' in TWRP and SuperSU removes encryption you're trying to boot with an encrypted /data partition which doesn't decrypt.

Do you want to install custom Rom or do you want stock Rom. If you want stock Rom why did you root?
Also as ante0 asked did you decrypt?

So at first, I flash the SuperSU files and data files from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986. It worked perfectly fine and my storage was decrypted. But then i got into another issue so I rebooted into twrp, wiped, format data, and installed the files again (SuperSU and both data files) from the same link above. If my phone is already decrypted, and I wiped and format the data, I only need to flash SuperSU and the data files? I'm lost and this is a new phone.
Can you please give me a step by step rundown of what I need to do to get my phone back working. Again, the phone is a MHA-L29C636B110 with the bootloader unlocked, TWRP 3.1.0-1-hi3660 installed. Whenever I flash something or even factory reset it reboots for a while and then goes back to eRecovery.

At first everything went well and I decrypted the data. I wanted a custom ROM but I knew it would be a lot of work and I could get into a lot of problems. But then the SuperSU kept giving me the notification that the binary needs to be updated. So I downloaded the SuperSU v2.46 update on the Chainfires website and gave me a bootloop. I then went back to TWRP, wiped, format data, and sideload flashed the SuperSU files and both data files from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986 which ended up giving me a reboot loop back to eRecovery.

Ok
Do This.

Push Power button and vol+/vol- to recovery mode.

Download the file extract it to your internal Storage.
So there should be a Folder in your /sdcard folder named dload and there should be update.app file in that folder.
while you are in TWRP you can simply do adb push /dload /sdcard/dload from command line

what did you wipe (Other than tapping the 'Format Data' button)?
If dload update doesn't fix it, as mentioned above, you could (You should!!) update to B181 using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Download HWOTA_2017050101_Base.zip, HWOTA_2017050101_Windows.zip (if you're on Windows), HWOTA_2017050101_Linux.zip (If you're on Linux) and HWOTA_2017050101_MHA.zip.
Extract all to the same folder.
MHA-L29C636B181 firmware: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1366/g104/v85049/f2/full/update.zip

MHA-L29C636B181 hw data zip: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...hw_spcseas/update_full_MHA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip
Place update.zip, public zip and hw zip in HWOTA/update/ folder.
Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Rename update_full_MHA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Run update.bat if windows, ./update.sh from terminal if Linux.
Put phone in Download mode (Vol down+power+usb plugged in).
Select Same Brand Update when it asks.
Select Script Update Directory when it asks.
If all went well you should be on B181.

No you have to extract dload on your computer the move that folder to the phone.
This will Restock your device and lock it.
If you don't want to do that, I suggest you download RomAur from here
Download the following files
RomAur B182 v1.5
KangVip Framework for v1.5
L29C636 Data Files B181
Then copy them to your Internal or External Drive
Then follow from Step 7
7 - Make a FULL Wipe if come from another FW, before installing the ROM on TWRP(DALVIK-CACHE,CACHE,DATA,SYSTEM)
8 - Install Rom
9 - Install Data Files
10 - Reboot
11 - Install KangVip - Optional
12 - Enjoy

Just out of curiosity did you get the custom Rom or did you go stock?
It's no problem,I was once where you are. I wanst born with knowledge someone shared it with me and the least I can do is share it back.

I flashed the custom ROM. I tried it at first but I didn't wipe the system. This time I did and it worked like a charm thank you for everything I look forward using this device for the next few years
