Could you explain it how did you fix it??
So I have to put it in the backup folder and then what?

just extract rom you downloaded in folder xrecovery/backup on your phone,reboot your phone and when you open xrecovery go to backup and restore and choose restore...

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.

[Q] Only 3 files in I5800XXJPM.zip

HI I have downloaded the I5800XXJPM.zip firmware but it has only 3 files in it. Now i am confused how to flash it in Odin. I have flashed earlier using both the method like different files and one package but this file is different. I think i need to make a tar file before.
files that is under the zip file is: factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin and zImage.
Please suggest me the right way.

probably you open the tar file, those three files are inside the tar.

not its a zip file which has a size of 125 Mb. Previously I flashed my odin with both ways (one package and also with 4 different files) but both of those files were different. Can u give me a link so that I download the right file. Make sure its XXJPM coz i will then flash to Indroid 4.1, currently i m in XXJPF.

1% battery mod is working only with fugumod 2.4 kernals!!
what you want to know about themes../??
Just go to themes section download any theme you like..
read all the instructions..
generally there are two to three files which you have to replace with old files in system/framework folder.
some have themed apks also.
you have to replace them with old apks in system/app
that should be helpful!!
PS A thanks buttob do exist there if u dont know !!

The missing files were logo.png and cache.rfs.
I think that missing logo.png is not big deal, but I don't know what cahe.rfs is supposed to do.

Hi,
All Core Droid ROMS are downloaded as a RAR. file.
Extract this and you will see instructions plus the zip file you need to put on the root of your sd card.

at this moment, the Coredroid 2.1 is a barebones zip. You need to go to the CoreDroid forum and read around. There are a lot of stuff there. I have a tut in my sig....

Hi,
I looked on the [OP] for installation information and there was nothing.
If, as you say there is no longer anything in the download,it must be kinda hard for a noob to install this...

maybe coredroid is getting too popular, I have no idea.....it can be pretty hard to keep up with all the noobs asking so many questions. Here's a link to the rest of the stuff, BTW, courtesy of one of the CoreDroiders, wanahave:

Q.E.D.
@aungpe
Hi,
I think you downloaded a "ZIP"
This should NOT be extracted.
Go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then go to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)
After installation,reboot.
Give it time.
Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

xRecovery not work on gingerdx and linuxdx

i using linuxdx v03 and gingerdx v0.17, when i reboot my phone into xrecovery mode, xrecovery not work and phone power on norrmaly, what's problem? why not load xrecovery?
sorry for my bad english
please answer
thanks

It's because doixanh removed chargemon support in LinuxDX. You don't even need xRecovery, use CWM(touch touchscreen when you see GingerDX logo). But if some scripts don't work on CWM, convert them to Edify(http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Amend+to+Edify+converter).

thanks i using cmw but i want install timescape plugins for ginger dx, it's script xrecover.

I told you, use Amend to Edify script converter. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Amend+to+Edify+converter

what next ?
how does it actually work?
I went to File-Open....selected the xRecovery update file....It shows some logs in input and output tabs..... a new file is created in the folder with the converter with only the META-INF file part of the zip.
I dunno what is what and how to proceed from this point hereon
