hey guys,
i downloaded the new cyanogen v3.5.3 off the browser on my phone and tried to change the file name to update.zip. but when i try flash it in recovery, it's listed as /sdcard/update.zip even though i only saved as update.zip. is it not possible to download the update from your phone? or is there a terminal move command that i could do?
thanks

I have a G1, and I tried to get root. I downgraded to RC29, and then downloaded the recovery.img file and the Hard SPL, downloaded telnet and all that, then tried to flash the spl as update.zip to the phone using the recovery console (i think that's what it's called, i pressed home+power to get there). it keeps giving me an error message "E:No Signature (26 files) E:Verification failed". i tried to download another one, and it gave me the same message. i've been looking for a solution for six hours and nothing helped ;( anyone think they can help me?
Did you try editing the zip in any way? Did you extract it/etc? You need to take the downloaded zip, rename it update.zip, and put it on the sdcard. Do not change any files in it or extract it. Hell, don't even open it.

Doesn't sound like you're using the SPL update.zip. That updater only contains one file.
@gary13579 the only thing i did to the zip was rezip it, cos my mac automatically unarchives everything when i download it.
@jashu do you know anywhere i can get the SPL? i downloaded it from the post on this forum..

That would be the problem. You're going to have to find a way to download it without unarchiving it.
There's a "signature" added to all updates, which tells the phone whether it's a legitimate update or not. When you re-archive it, it loses that signature.
Hi, guys. First of all, thanks for all of your hard work and time you put into all of these custom ROMs.
So, I rooted my HTC Tattoo, then flashed it with CyanogenMod 7 and I am very happy how ROM works. I was wondering how can I get back to stock (for warranty reasons) since I was stupid enough to not make a backup of Stock rom with ROM Manager.
First, I tried installing RUU exe file(RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver) from Winows 7 computer, but when I connect my phone to PC, i got error message 170 saying "USB Connection Error".
When that didn't work, I downloaded and put CLICIMG.zip (I belive thats rom.zip from RUU) on root of my SD card, then rebooted to HBoot, but i got error saying something like "No images found in CLICIMG". I also tried to rename this file to CLICKIMG.zip, CLICDIAG.zip, but that didn't work either.
Hope you can help me somehow.
Thanks.

Hope the CLICIMG.zip you have downloaded is not corrupt.
Best thing would be to copy the rom.zip form the temp folder,
Here is what you can do:
After you started RUU wait until you get the prompt to proceed or you get the usb error and don't close the application
Then you can get rom.zip file from following folder
"C:\Users\<your user name>\appdata\Local\Temp"
replace "your user name" with your account name in windows
copy the rom.zip and rename it to CLICIMG.zip
place it in root of SDCARD and proceed
Thanks for replay. I managed to resolve this, I will post little guide soon on this topic.
I've installed cm9 but it doesn't come with any file explorer.
I don't have any internet access on my phone right now so I can't download from market, but I have to restore the apps using titanium backup.
So I need a flashable zip with a file explorer that works on cm9 to install TitaniumB from my sdcard
you should have copied a file manager apk to the app folder in the rom archive before flashing :|
No need to flash, u can use adb shell to install the app.
adb install filemanager_name.apk
EDIT:
Success !
Thanks

where do I have to put the .apk file? because i get the message:
"can't find 'titanium.apk' to install"

The easy way is to put the apk file in the same folder with adb command
or indicate the path to this apk (e.g. adb install /documents/android_apps/filemanager.apk)
the best way is to go in browser and type file:///sdcard/file_managername.apk
to the app folder in the rom archive before
flashing :|
I tried to update to 4.2 and I changed the android.policy.odex file and maybe this is not good one and the android does not goes up.
I can go into recovry and conect to adb. someone have the write file or way to solve this problem.
can I paste the file therout adb or flashable zip ??
Thanks
I found the right file
How can I use adb to delete the file on the device and push the new one?
edit
I understand that I cant go into this folders with the adb beacuse it says I dont have perrmision/ and I maybe need flashable zip file. how I do flashable zip for this file?
Hi guys,
When I enter cwm recovery mode and try to install zip file (tries several, none working), the message is: cannot open zip file (bad)... installation aborted.
Any help is much appreciated.

which Rom you're trying to flash? make sure that the zip file is right, or is there another zip in the zip file?
Solution found - automatically opened zip files in safari

I think I have found the solution. I figured there might happen something with the zip files after they are downloaded when my Mac OS X Yosemite opens them (I re-compress the folders usually and transfer the new zip file to an external SD.) So I turned off safe opening on safari preferences, re-downloaded the rom (this time: Pac Man ROM), flashed, and it worked like a charm!
So either you're running Mac or Windows, auto-expanding might cause trouble with the zip files.
I hope others will find this helpful as well.
Merry xmas!
