hey guys, I'm about too pull my hair out because for the love of god I cannot unzip the android 7-zip file!!! It keeps telling me it can't allocate enough memory. If anyone could be so kind as to help me out it would be GREATLY appreciated. This is on my hd2 with 7zip installed.
dude, any particular reason why you want to unzip the archive from within the device? as far as i know, large archives will give you trouble when unzipping on the device due to limited RAM memory and/or limited temporary space on the device memory.
if i was you, i would simply use my pc to perform the unzip and then copy the unzipped contents onto the device...simple eh?
your never gonna get that extracted on youre phone, and you cant really do much with it anyway just leave it to the dev's
@ASCIIker... yup, my computer died. Thanks for the answers guys.

if the device is all you have to take a crack at unzipping that file, one suggestion i can think of is to go file-by-file and/or folder-by-folder, i.e. pick a few files/folders, extract them, and move on to do the same with the next set of files/folders. this will only work if the archive contains multiple neatly sized files/folders...this method won't work if the archive just contains one big file!
only other thing i can think of is to try another software to try to unzip the archive. i understand you're trying a mobile version of 7zip...how about pocketrar? also, i think resco explorer has built in zip file support as well...
let us know if any of the above works for you. if all else fails, i hope your pc is fixed soon, good luck!
just an update. I was able to extract the second android download(without sense), but not the first- with pocketrar. Appreciate that ACSIIker. I guess I took for granted this phone has more memory and faster processor than my first few computers!! Just assumed it could handle the workload- O well

anyone else ona mac that cant get on a pc figure out how to do this i wanted to flash via sd card and cant ? i guess soo what am i to do i am already downloading wine/macports/x11/xcode3.1
as directed by
http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-5
anyone who acctually knows what they are doing wanna lend a hand i think im almost done waiting on terminal to finish then maybe run the update .exe
i don't have a mac or a tmous but here's my theory.
i'm pretty sure the .exe won't install under wine, however the exe is nothing more than a zip file that can execute itself, so first off i'd try using a mac version of winzip or similar to try open it as an archive, or if that doesn't work, try running winrar in wine and again see if you can open the archive.
(you could even try simply changing the file name from .exe to .zip, see how your compression software reacts.)
once you get it open you can extract ruu_signed.nbh and move on to flashing from sd card.
alternatively, something like bootcamp to boot to a windows install.(go for xp if that's all you're using it for) and then you should certainly be able to unzip the .exe, though i'm uncertain whether you'll be able to usb flash, even from xp.(i know you can't use bootcamp for hspl.)
ok
ok soo i downloaded the leaked version cause i cant get to download the offical download, but i download the zip file and im runing 10.6.3 (latest) it gets unarchived and i get the exe file and how w ould i extract it just opens up in a txt edit and get the usual symbol jamble.

Can someone take a look at this picture and tell me why my SDK is not updating to revision 16? It keeps giving me an error and I've tried turning the antivirus off too.. Thanks again!
Yeh, that happens for the SDK Tools bit. Just go into android-sdk/temp and extract the tools zip file and copy that into the android-sdk folder, replacing the original and outdated tools folder. If that doesn't work and gives an error, move the zip file elsewhere e.g. desktop and extract and replace the original tools folder in android-sdk.
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm!
HTC Thunderbolt & ASUS Transformer Rooted!
Congratulations I might buy myself a Transformer Prime when it comes out in Australia, sounds like a very worthwhile buy. Anywho, back on topic, I never bothered to figure out why the SDK update fails like that though I have a sneaking suspicion that one of the smaller components/tools may be open whilst it is updating or it might just be glitched.
You should, it seems like it will be a great tablet! But I think it might be a glitch, but I don't know. Everything worked smoothly after it transferred though.
Description:
The AndroidLib Expansion Project was created to bring support of more Android devices to my AndroidLib.dll project I'm working on. This project is a Windows executable (compiled batch script) that you will run on your computer with your Android device connected. This will NOT run automatically; it will give you a prompt to run after opening.
The main purpose of this project is to collect data about new phones for AndroidLib.dll, not about your specific phone, but about how it transfers specific data through it's shell and through the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), and more importantly, how that output is formatted.
This information will not be shared with anyone other than myself, and will only be used for further developing AndroidLib.dll to support many more Android devices than it currently does.

Check the Desktop folder in %USERPROFILE%\Desktop as well instead of just the graphical desktop. I have tested it working on 5 different computers here...
Can you upload to another site

Yeah, you can, if you send me the link to it.. but I just wrote that upload script so it would just go straight to my server.. Upload it to mediafire if you would like.
I realize now that this exe may not have worked correctly. I've had 3 reports now of no zip being created on the desktop. I am working to solve this issue, as you see in the source.. it really has no reason not to be creating on the desktop.
I'll be glad to help, if only it created a zip file for me to upload.
EDIT: I checked the %USERPROFILE%/Desktop as well as running a search for anything containing "androidlib" in C:\Users... nothing.
2 things.
1st, it won't make a zip file for anyone that doesn't have 7zip or the required folder structure (there is no standard environment variable of %myfiles% - just use %temp% instead), and it's assuming subfolders exist for output of the adb commands.
2nd, why is it an exe file when it's a batch file? Please link the bat file instead of an exe. I'm running the bat file I copied and pasted from the source and it runs just fine.

Well, if you knew who I was or looked at anything else I have written, you'd realize that I know what I'm doing, and that I would not assume everyone has the standard environment variable %MYFILES% or have 7zip installed. I am assuming in this program, actually, that the end user does NOT have the android sdk set up (or in their path) and does NOT have any 7 zip binaries. I created a self extracting exe out of my batch file that includes adb.exe, the 2 required adb dlls, and the 7 zip binary, all in the global variable %MYFILES% (aTemp folder in %temp%). It works fine. Just need to figure out why it creates a zip on all of my computers, and not any of yours. I appreciate the feedback though.

Thanks for letting me know you ran a full search and nothing came up still, that actually does help me out, telling me it didn't write to anywhere else. I'll have a working version for you guys in a little bit.
Ok guys, fixed the problem. Works great now. Check the source code and VirusTotal report in the first post if you need to. Thanks again for everyone helping with this! And special thanks to nebenezer for testing the new builds!

Lol - calm down mate. I wasn't criticising - I was trying to help. I get why it's an exe now you've explained and that makes sense. Glad you got it working anyway. I'll upload a couple of files for you later.

Ok thanks for clarifying. The way you presented your self in your post sounded like somewhat of "this n00b doesn't know what he's doing, and I'm gonna let him know that" lol I'm a pretty chill guy, I just don't appreciate when people do that.
And thank you for doing some uploads later! I appreciate it!
This is my upload link because i couldn't upload with your page. It says "The file you are trying to upload is not a .zip file. Please try again."

Apologies if that's how I came across - it wasn't intended. I've just uploaded a couple of zip files for you.
Thank you to everyone who has uploaded a zip so far! This is really helping development on AndroidLib. I am still accepting more uploads, so if you feel like helping develpment of AndroidLib, feel free to download and run the exe! I'm needing a few more Samsung devices in particular, those seem to vary in output between themselves.
Have you got an upload from an Motor ATRIX 4g yet? If not ill see if I can sort it for you.

All of a sudden, I can't copy files to Nexus 7. Windows 7 64 says device has either stopped responding or is disconnected....which tells me nothing. I see others have posted this topic for this tablet but there are no replies. Tablet is rooted, running LiquidSmooth Beta 2 and seems fine. Same USB cable and I can see internal folder and files from Windows, but cannot perform normal file transfers. Where do I start looking for issue?

MTP or whatever its called sucks. But that usually either means that your device doesn't support that file format, the files are too big, or you actually disconnected your device. Try a different USB port, and give us a bit more info on what you are trying to copy.

Trying to copy a 7MB zip file. I looked at settings -- MTP is checked and there's 12.79GB available out of 13.24GB. Weirdly, I thought I'd try a file that was completely different, so I just copied a text file (2K) and it went fine. Now what's that about?
I usually use WinRAR to create zip files, but some on xda recommend 7-zip (changing file extension to zip) for stuff like boot animation files. Is that the problem??
I had the same thing happen... I tried an 11mb zip file, no luck. Text file or image worked fine... I'm guessing I'll just have to use something like AirDroid to transfer any file. This is disappointing that Google has done this. My older Android phones, I could copy any file I please.

Well, one thing I finally discovered is that zip renamed from 7z may be an issue...the system probably checks the file header (I assume) against extension to see if there's a match. Possibly to catch exe files with zip extensions that may be viruses.
solution
Just put the files you want to copy inside a folder, then copy the folder. works for me on Nexus 4

Just had the same problem. This worked! So the problem looks to be that the device can't handle certain files by themselves.

Getting ready to do the Clean ROM flash and I have a few questions:
1. The instructions say to Copy ROM to storage. When I navigate to my phone hooked to my PC, I can't find the "storage" folder. Any help with this step would be appreciated
2. How do I boot into recovery?
I have twrp installed and phone's rooted. Just need to know the button config. to go into recovery to follow the installation steps. TY

LOL! Sorry I had too. Someone needs there Coffee You copy the rom to your phones storage like where your pictures,Music, and stuff are at. They didnt say anything about a storage folder.
and 2. Download an app called reboot recovery in the market place
You should be cautious when flashing anything if you were looking for a "Storage" folder.

LOL I know, I feel like a total noob for even asking. I have to have instructions literally step for step or else I lose confidence and don't follow through. I'm coming from an SGS2 that I rooted and messed with for the 1st month and never flashed anything since, so I'm pretty much starting over with this ROM stuff. Thanks for the help though!
EDIT: I'm gonna ask another noob question: Do I copy just the img file or the META & System folders too?

Dude! Never be afraid to ask (but if the answers are on the website and you didn't do a proper search, expect flame on!). :laugh:
Anyway, assuming you are on AT&T, you should have downloaded a file called CleanROM-1.1.zip . If you didn't get that one, go here http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=464 and download it. Check the MD5 to ensure the file is not corrupt. Do not unzip the file! Just transfer the file onto your phone - it doesn't really matter where, just remember where you put it. Then reboot into recovery (assuming you have already installed TWRP) using whatever app you like (I prefer GooManager), click Install, navigate to the rom you just put on your phone and you're good to go.
Good luck!

Thanks yea I did get teh 1.1 ROM and twrp is installed already. I just didn't want to go any further until I for sure understood the process. This feels alot easier then when I was working on the sgs2 and Odin. That and it's been at least 2 years since I've done anything like this lol. Thanks for the help, it looks like it's flashing now!
