root?

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.

Just put the Android folder in the ROOT of your card (which you did) and then tap CLRAD (for sound) and then run Haret. You can also install android loader or android dual-boot to have it run it for you.

[Q] I need help unzipping files!

Every time I get a new NAND build and try to unzipping it, it says that its an "Unknown compression method" I need some help! Thank you!

Use 7zip. Keep in mind you don't have to extract roms meant for cwm!

Ok the NAND I'm trying to unzip is MDJ's CyanogenMod 2.6 A2SD+ and it wont work. But when I use the 2.5 version the unzip works fine.

Again: use 7zip. If that still doesn't work, download the rom again because it's probably corrupt.

I downloaded it 5 times already and still nothing!

Then you probably still aren't using 7zip?

As StephanV said - USE 7zip!!!
There was recently a change to the compression algorithm they use, so all of a sudden you can't open zip files made with 7zip unless you use the most up-to-date version.

so download newest version of 7zip is all i need to do? trying to unzip eclipse....

Redownloaded 7zip.... No luck with eclipse.... Wth am I doing wrong here?

[Q] Help with downgrading from CyanogenMod 7 to Android 1.6 Stock

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.

[Q] Custom Rom invalid .zip

hi guys!
First of all : I'm new to the custom rom scene development. I do know how to flash and so..
So i've installed cygwin and the android kitchen. I took the stock rom provided to me by the manufacturer, i was able to set up the working folder. Then I did : "Build ROM from working folder", without making any changes to apk's or something like that.
When i got the update.zip file i tried flashing it with a recovery and using the update.zip in /sdcard method. The first method just stopped after verifying, the second method said it was an invalid package.
I believe there is something wrong with the signing of the rom. Could you guys help me out?
Thx!

Check type of script used in update.zip

Did u signed the update.zip while exporting rom using cygwin menu. ?
If you didnt sign it will notify that is invalid
But there might be some other kind of issue like
1. Cygwin provides updater_script and update_script in update.zip package it contain all information reguarding flashing
check that your device require which type of script .
let me know your responce.
Press thanks button. if this helped
