camera n compass u flash it in xrecovery. u can flash both then reboot without having to reboot after each flash.
as for mddi u need to do it manually for now i don't think doixanh made a xrecovery zip yet
the meta-inf folder basically just contains a script to tell xrecovery where to copy the files.

When you extracted the file.. He created a folder name [GingerFroyo.1.4.16]
Just open this Folder and inside you will see another folder in the same name..
This is one that you should copy in xrecovery/backup/ folder.. this file contains 4 files..

Just make sure you have downloaded the new one. Extract it on your PC and you will have a folder named GingerFroyo 1.4.16
Put that folder in SD > xrecovery > backup
Restore and make full wipe
maybe my download was the problem..i'll try to download it again...thank you for helping
better try to redownload, and see what will happen

I just downloaded the file just now, and when I extracted the file it came with the folder [GingerFroyo.1.4.16].. and inside that folder I saw a folder again in the same name..
this is the folder as just copy in xrecover/backup
yep, there is 4 file..drag the folder again to sd->xrecovery->backup. and put the folder there. reboot with xrecovery, choose back up and restore, select restore->GingerFroyo.1.4.16. after finish installation, make sure u make factory reset (full wipe). then reboot.

;
Universal_GB_ROOT_v9.zip mediafire.com/?a99wthh9p98bm0y
I followed the advised procedure but when I get to the choices screen and select install from SD Card, I am then shown this list of options:
../
.android_secure/
Android/
DCIM/
LOST.DIR/
META-INF /
system/
Where do I start, I have tried going through in sequence with no success/response, I have then tried just selecting META-INF / & system / in sequence, again no joy....... could someone give this inquisitive old duffer a walk through, or show me what I'm doing wrong, PLEASE:fingers-crossed:
You are not supposed to extract the zip. Just select install zip from sd card, then select the root zip. Don't extract it and you will be fine.

Thanks for the quick reply......I have not extracted anything, I just downloaded the zip file went nowhere near extraction and the file in my SD card says META INF & system, no where is it named as zip.
Would you by any chance have a good link for the zip file instead.....be grateful.
You're using apply update from SD card in CWM right?
Well location of your zip file should be..
/sdcard/*here*
If you are using atock recovery then the zip file should be on top of the list.. It SHOULD be a .zip file
if you are using clockworkmod recovery then the .zip file will be at the end of the list.. Good luck
Press thanks if i helped you

from what tread did you flash it?
nwm. what you need to do is to open rom.zip you are on right now and in zip system/app you will find file "SystemUI.apk". extract it to desktop. now open your moded zip with transparent status bar and go to app and delete "SystemUI.apk" from it.
when you did that just drop that file from desktop in moded zip system/app
. flash it with recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. thats it

Hi I created a bootanimation and want to make it flashable. I followed tutorials from the net and xda. I got two files META-INF and system.
I put my bootanimation.zip in system/media. That's all. I didn't touch META-INF .
After flashing the zip in cwm, it says Installation aborted . Need Help please...
thats because the flashable zip wasnt for your phone
status 0 - wrong update binary
status 6 - wrong update script
here is my template for you
simply download it
open it in winrar (or if using phone just unzip everything)
open the system foler
you will notice a framework folder that is currently empty
you can leave this folder as it is
just create folders to where you want to flash the file to
for example your bootanimation.zip create the following
in the system folder create a folder called media
in the media folder place your bootanimation.zip
the same is true for any other files you want to flash
if you want to flash a file to system/framework just put a file in that folder
if you want to flash a file to system/app just create a folder called app in the system folder and put what you want to flash there
if on winrar you just have to open the zip and right click and create a folder - no need to unzip everything
if on phone and you have unzipped everything just zip everything back up when done
flashable zip template can be download from here
if you are using stock rom you need to enable custom boot animations first using the custom boot enabler zip
(if you already have a custom boot animation and bootanimation.zip working in a custom rom then you dont need to do this)

If just a bootanimanion, push using root browser only
Or using a another flashable bootanimation file and the replace the bootanimation.zip with yours
I attch it . Credits to its maker
works perfectly! thanks
I've extracted my system.img and have on my computer all the files and folder's from said image.
What I'd like to know, is there anyway to be able to flash those files and folders onto my phone?
Say for instances I make changes to some of those files(eg system/lib) , how can I flash or copy those files or folders I've made changes too back to my phone
I should add I'm using a lineageOs 7.1.1 and a twrp recovery
You need root for these sorts of things apparently.

You cannot flash a file or a folder .
You can delete and cut and paste files/ folders .
Nandroid system backup is what most would do .

Hmm that might work, I could take a nandroid, modify the system there, but I'm not sure if I can recompile the nandroid and have it still workable. I'm pretty sure you can flash folders and files, in fact I have a few zip files that do exactly that, I'm just unsure of the exact process, I believe it would involve creating an updater script, it also would seem that no developer has looked at my question lol
You asked how to flash folders not how to make zip .Look at any zip and see the layout and paths what to do .
Or open rom zip cut and paste your files close and flash.Nandroid restore if a problem .

Thanks for your feedback, yes I asked how to flash files and folder's, but that doesn't exclude zip files as the delivery system for said files. I'll look into other ROMs, but most nougat ROMs use a different file structure
XDA forum hardware development hacking etc should have details how to make a zip ##
