Hey,
Did you extracted the installation file out of the downloaded zip file?
Inside the downloaded file there is a archive file again (forgot what format), this file you have to extract out and copy that file onto your archos
Good luck!

Yes , thats the thing I did , file named UrukDroid-install.tgz copied to the device like it written in the installation procedure ....no need to unzip that one also

Try to download this file:
http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.0/EI/UrukDroid-install.tgz
It is directly and no need to extract any more.. maybe your archive manager does something wrong..

drives me crazy ... ..the very last phase is going wrong ..so close....

Okey... me too
Maybe tjeres something wrong with the kernel
Download the zImage and the initramfs as single files from here:
http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/UrukDroid-1.0/EI/
Then flash the kernel again, like you did it before (via the recovery menu)
After try the installation with the as single file downloaded installation file

Lenn, this is different , another problem ...after flashing the kernel with the "let's say " new files , what is going fast then going into the developer menu ..archos needs to reboot in that menu and I should get UrukDroid 1.0 Installation framework and select simple installation ..but does not get to that boot ....the original archos kernel completely starts up .
Let me know tomorrow ....we need some sleep being busy with this whole day
I wanted to thank you for the given support for now ..hope someone will know the answer

I may didnt uhderstand you right,but:
Did you boot into the Developer Edition after flashing the new kernel?
You have to, urukdroid is the "new" SDE after the installation

... unfortunality i have no idea atm....
Maybe your disk has a failure... try to completly wipe your archos again install the newest archos firmware directly after the update and try it again...
Sorry, i think but i dont see any solution yet...

recap
Flash initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage from SDE boot menu is working fine
after going into
Boot to SDE:
power on (2) Archos, hold up/+ volume key (1) until you see "Archos AXXXX - Boot Menu",
choose "Developer edition" is also working
You should see "UrukDroid 1.0 Installation framework" title. Please choose simple install method. is working well
When asked to, connect Archos to PC (5) once again and copy UrukDroid-install.tgz,
This step is working...transfert can be done
disconnect Archos from PC properly (umount, safely remove device etc.) and press power button (2)
at this point the device saying that there is an invalid file

Try it with advanced install
Choose the recommended values (on the top) but also select that you want to format the partitions and create new ones

lenn, did the advanced install , on SD , 512 rootfs ,and 1.5 g for data
Format of all partitions went ok , the transfer of the 140,3 meg file to install ok until the step to press power button once to start the install ..again the invalid file error message
just thinking could it be something with the sd card ?

Normally urukdroid installs on external sd card
You can in the advanced install method

Please HELP!!

I took the plunge and decided to updgrade my HD2 to Android from Windows 6.5.
I did the following:
Radio to 2.**.51.**
Loaded HSPL 2.80
Flashed MAGLDR successfully.
I now turn on my phone hoping to see the MAGLDR menu through a 'long hold' on the on/off key but I get a white screen with htc in green and nothing else. The phone doesn't progress any further.
I've taken the battery out and tried again but same thing.
If I go into the bootloader menu, I get the coloured bars and at the top its got:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Have I screwed it?

Got the radio wrong,, its 2.xx.50 you need not 51

Radio should be. 50 not. 51. Reflash radio from bootloader.
Sent from my Cyanogen HD2

Thanks guys. Flashed the correct Radio and now takes me into the MAGLDR menu.
However, another prob. I've been following instructions I got from a friend of a friend which states:
1. At Magldr menu, selct USB Flasher and run DAF.exe <done this successfully>
2. Once done, load clockwork mod <done this successfully>
3. Install the ROM from a zip file after copying this to the SD root. The zip file in my case is 'MCCM HD V5.1 CWR,NAND' and contains a Boot, Meta-inf and system folder.
When I try and run this through the Clockwork Mod i.e. 'Install zip from sd card' it runs but then aborts installation saying 'E:Can't open /sdcard/ROM/MCCM HD V5.1 CWR.NAND.zip (bad)'
Any ideas whats happening ?
Thanks

you arent unzipping the file are you? you don't need to open that zip to see what it contains. just put the whole zip on the sd card and choose it from cwm.

Try redownloading the file. On my Optimus, it only says that upon bad download, or corrupted file.

The folder is zipped when you put it on the SD card right? If not, then copy the original downloaded folder (zipped) to the SD card and try again.

Hi yes, I have left the file zipped.
Is there a link that anyone can post for this zip file please and I'll try it again.
Also once I've done this successfully, there is an Update.zip file that I think I have to run. Can anyone confirm this is the case?
Lastley, once I've done the above I'm guessing that I have the device in a state to now flash an Android type i.e. Gingerbread, Froyo, etc.
Is this true and what do you guys recommend - any links would be helpful.
I can almost taste the sweet succes of having Android on my HD2 !!

Then why bother flashing another ROM? Just skip the flashing MCCM's ROM and go straight to a ROM of your choice. As for which ROM, there are too many but I would recommend Typhoon CM7. The only way to know for sure is to try them out.

the CM rom is a very good choice

that was the rom being flashed. If you didn't want that rom, you should put a different rom.zip on your sd card, and possibly flash a different cwm partition layout in the previous steps.

[Q] CWM backup-->flashable rom?

I'm a new developer and have applied all my tweaks and edits via root explorer so far. is there a way to change a CWM backup into a flashable rom file for other users to flash? I searched around a bit, but couldn't seem to find anything about it.

Goto this thread here
follow all the setup to install cygwin & kitchen
once it's all setup you can plug your phone in and create a rom
follow the guide (second method) for creating the rom system files by extracting the system folders from your phone (rom you are using)
you can then turn it into a flashable rom zip

I think you just basically extract the CWM backup, then repackage them in 1 zip file (except for the androidsecure backup).

YOU CAN USE THE CWM BACKUP IN KITCHEN YO MAKE A CUSTOM ROM.BUT YOU CAN'T ABLE TO USE THE BACKUP FILE DIRECTLY AS A CUSTOM ROM.
OTHER HAND YOU CAN MAKE ALSO THIS BACKUP AS A DEODEXED STOCK ROM BY DEODEXING THIS BACKUP FILES.

[Q] Cant install any costum rom

I've done root with srs root-root and install cwm-recovery via update.zip, after that I tried most costum rom from version 2.3 to 4.0, but all I'm trying to costum rom can not boot up normally in my device, what causes all costum rom can not boot in galaxy-y,
I also do a partition on sd-card via cwm, and also pay attention to exactly how to install the costum rom to flash the kernel, but still all the costume rom will not boot

either you are a using the wrong kernel eg stock based roms require a stock based kernel and cm roms require a cm kernel and for you to format your system to ext
also make sure you mount system before flashing a rom
if you use the cm common kernel you need to unmount system and remount system before flashing the zip

Try to flash via odin before you flash the rom . And remmember to mount everything before flashing and wipe anything THX

i have installed kernel CM7 totoro,from this forum,and install CM7 stable for my device,not boot,i think for permanent CWM or other costum Recovery for this device

like I said for cm7 you need to format your system to ext either using percys kernel or the ext converter tool
you also need to unmount system in cwm and remount system twice before flashing the rom zip
you can follow my instructions

use winrar or another unzip prog to open the rom zip
you will notice a folder there called meta.inf
delete it
copy the meta.inf from the attachment in the other post and place it in the rom zip
you can do it on your phone if you dont have a pc
just use zarchiver app to unzip the rom zip and replace the meta.inf folder then use the app again to rezip it
