Hi,
I have problems with these custom ROMs, I copy it to phone and when I go to recovery mode (Skyhawk SHRP beta release 3) to flash a custom rom I can't find the custom rom file, even if I put them on root directory (Internal storage).
There is a "sdcard" directory (recovery mode) it shows a few directories not sure what the are it looks like garbage I enter it but there is nothing there. Where is the custom rom file?

After flashing clockworkmod recovery via rom explorer my phone will not boot into clockworkmod recovery- only the stock android recovery mode. I did notice that the clockworkmod "recovery-update.zip" file contains files that *look* like they want to be in the root directory (ie /sbin/*), but some of these files do not exist in my root directory. I'm guessing maybe that rom manager did not successfully extract the contents of this zip file? Should I manually copy the contents of this zip file over to my root directory?
When you boot into recovery from ROM Manager..you may need to hit "reinstall packages" a couple of times
yup
Thanks, that did it.
I hope this subject hasn't been asked/answered, I couldn't find any references.
When I use CWM & flash TNTLite or Vanilla Roms, when I used the file manager I could see the exact same file tree (folders) as when within CWM (CWM Root > Install zip from SDCard > Choose zip from SDCard), but when I flash CM7 (which is the one I want to use) its like it creates a whole new partition & file structure.
I cannot see or even access the other file directory from the tab, but I can still see it in CWM and if I reflash tnt I have full access to it.
My biggest concern is that while running the CM7 is that this 'hidden' tree is consuming a rather LARGE amount of the internal memory
I really appreciate any thoughts or input, thanks.
Hey Guys,
I'm in need of some really n00b friendly advice.
When you flash a new ROM (i.e. CM9) in CWM the tutorials tell you to flash the file named Update.zip. My problem is that I can't seem to find one in the zip file I downloaded for my xperia mini.
I downloaded FXP131, and found the zip file to contain a boot.img, which will be the kernel. And 2 other folders named META-INF and System.
I know how to flash the kernel and expect it was just left in there for easy transportation.
But where in the world is 'update.zip'?
Am I meant to unpackage the kernel then re-zip the META-INF and System folder and then call that 'Update.zip'?
I've flashed roms for some of my other devices before, but they've always used flashtool or samsungs flashtool.
Please help me guys, I don't like sounding this inexperienced
update.zip
I'm wondering if the ROM I am trying to flash needs to be renamed as update.zip in order to work. It is krook's v.6 of JB for the Lenovo K1 tablet. Since the download site has to distinguish between wifi and 3G versions, as well as nvflash versions there are a number of different filenames, however does it need to be renamed after putting it on my SD card?
Generally speaking "update.zip" is used as a generic name. For example the update.zip I just flashed is actually named "rascarlo_maguro_ota_2012-11-01.zip". When you flash a custom ROM in a custom recovery you should be able to browse & flash whichever file you need.
The FXP131.zip file that contains the boot.img and 2 other folders named META-INF and System is the "update.zip"
solved
My problem was an incomplete download. I compared file sizes, and checked md5sums and determined the correct ROM and it is now in the middle of finishing the upgrade/optimization process.
Thx
Hi there,
I bought ZTE U819 and I was trying to replace the Chinese recovery, but I chose wrong recovery version by mistake, so:
- I Can´t access to my device recovery (Up Volume + power).When I try to enter, the device always restart
- I Can´t access to download mode (It would be because the bootloader was deleted? mobileuncle tools says (when I try to reboot into bootloader mode) "MTK android have not bootloader mode")
- The device doesn´t recognize the external SD and internal storage either but if I search in the system folder "data", I can see all the apps I´ve installed with iAPK.exe)
- I only can access to system folder through root explorer
- It´s rooted
The only way to install apk is with iAPK.exe
* I tried to edit vold.fstab but didn´t work.
* I tried to install the chinese original recovery from adb but I couldn´t, because when I write down fastboot don´t find any device and always says "waiting for devices" (I have installed all zte drivers at least I think so...)
* I tried to copy the correct recovery to "data" system folder through android commander, and I got, then I copied the recovery in "data" system folder and I tried to flash with terminal emulator, but it didn´t work
* I tried to flash other ROMs (I tried to install 6) which I copied to "data" system folder with Flash Gordon APK but it always says "Is not a valid flashable ZIP"
What can I do to sort it out?
Could I replace any folder from the original .ZIP ROM, I´ve installed in my device, to the system folder through android commander?
If it´s necessary, I can upload all the system folders from the device and anyone could check them and find the problem.
Thank you ever so much!!
Any advice?

I've the same problem, what is the solution?
I am bit late.. But why don't you flash stock ROM via SP Flash Tools, and flash correct recovery once again?
(Format everything except bootloader)
