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.

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...

Q.E.D.

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.

cant Install nandroid backup help please!

hi there im trying to follow steps here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143
but im stuck at the installing the nandroid backup
when i click install it saying couldnt find the file any :s any idea ?? thanks for your time

I have the same proplem
i was fully flashed spf 2.3.4 beta and now im trying to downgrade and i coudlnot
im using the same guide as u ....
I have manged to flash the first step now im on 2.1
and now i want to do the second step wich is installing nand backup and i get error when going into clock word mode and choosing to restore
i also tried installing it also got an error
what is wrong can some one help us
waiting for u help thanks in advance guys
little thing i extracted the nand zip and posted it in the root of the sd card

nandroid backups must be placed on sd card in /clockworkmod/backup/
also note that there must be a sub-directory within /clockworkmod/backup that contains the nandroid files
such as: /clockworkmod/backup/my_nandroid/ <--- your nandroid files go in here

thanks alot zyxwvut

No problem I hope you got it all sorted.
Ya know, without these threads I would've been stuck with an expensive paper-weight a long time ago. It's all about being a community and helping each other. Thats what we try to do here

I'm having an error too, try to do this but still get the error when trying to install the nandroid backup.
Here is what i did:
I place the zip file on sd card in /clockworkmod/backup/
also I unzip the file and place the files under: /clockworkmod/backup/my_nandroid
after trying to instal the zip i get this error: "E:Error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh
(Result: No such file or directory)"
I guess I'm either doing something wrong or the zip file is missing something!

im having the same here

cant run nandroid/flash rom/factor reset via cwm
I have CWM installed and have been able to flash roms in the past. But now, when ever i try to flash a rom, run a nandroid backup, or a factory reset… it just basically wipes out my user info. Goes back to stock with all of my applications still loaded so i get bazillion force closes. I have verified my nandroid and it is good… i just cant get cwm to load it. Any ideas? thx in advance!

There is no better ROM
Actualy, we should try both CM7 and CM10 and choose what to use, I've chosen CM7 because I've had problem with 3G connection on CM10, it's slow and I cound't actvate wifi tether without doing a workaround.

Error when flashing a rom

Hi there,
I have encountered a problem when i want to flash a custom rom.
I installed all the neccesary software, however when i want to instal the zip from sd card i keep getting an error that says that the zip is bad.
I have tried different roms and I have encountered the problem over and over again.
Can someone help me with this?!
Thanks,
Bojan

how are you moving the zip to the sd? because magldr usb transfers corrupt larger files.
also, it usually helps to write a brief step by step of what you have done so far. Don't just say 'i have downloaded all the software' and assume that everything you did so far is correct, because 9 out of 10 problems are user error, and very often its an assumption that causes the problem.

Also check your rom by double-clicking the zip file (no need to unzip unless you want to), a good download will not record errors upon opening the rom's zip files). There are instances that a download is bad and yes copy the rom through a card reader. :good:

[Q] CWM installation aborted error

I haven't had any trouble following the steps to install android on my HD2 including flashing the ROM from the SD card. However I downloaded the better battery stats zip from the forums here and it won't install. Is there a trick to this? I can see the zip OK but it just won't install.

To avoid filling the forum with question i'm just going to create this thread and ask all my questions here.
I finally rooted my nexus 7 on my mac and now am hoping to install a USB ROM, i couldnt post a link but it seems to be most popular for in car installs.
I downloaded the file and compressed it to a .zip file then tossed it onto the android. Next i booted into clockwork recovery the selected install zip from sd card>Choose zip from sd card> 0/>cm-10.zip>yes - install cm-10.zip
After this the tablet says
Finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...
installation aborted...
Can anyone help me and/or tell me what i'm doing wrong? all help is appreciated. Thankyou

A more acceptable procedure is to find - via SEARCHING - closely related threads first, and post your questions in those threads. That demonstrates to people that you've actually tried to help yourself by searching. If you actually have something unique to say, in that circumstance you start a new thread.
"Help me install a ROM" is not a new idea here on XDA, whether you have a problem with it or not.

It's already a .zip file to begin with when you download it. Is your Mac uncompressing it automatically when you download it?
If so, use something other means (not Safari?) to download it. FTP. Wget. Firefox for Mac.
Then, if the ROM developer publishes rom file MD5 signatures, validate that you can compute the same checksum on the file downloaded to your computer.
If you then subsequently copy it to something else (such as the tablet), check the file length and/or the MD5 signature of the copied file as well.
Was there not some additional message on the screen besides "installation aborted"? Details are important.
The most probable guess at the moment (from your narrative) is that you borked the download and/or did something else that made the custom recovery unhappy.
BTW, when you install a new ROM for the first time, you generally:
(a) make a full Nandroid backup first (using the custom recovery)
(b) perform a "factory reset" in the custom recovery,
(c) flash of the ROM file.
Attempting the last step without the first two is just begging for trouble.
good luck
