Hi all this will look like a silly question but....
how do i install racht's roms?
´http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
They're all in Rar format, instead of zip so xrecovery can't detect the files. If i rename the files to zip it detects but fails on install.
_I know i'm still sleepy but what am i missing here?
Thanks.
extract the rar..put the extracted folder in your sd card at xrecovery/backup..
enter xrecovery and restore the folder..
uhh thanks
Thanks. I also a bit new to Xperia X8 and going flash my mom's phone.

Hi,
Backup all data before starting anything new.
All coredroid roms come with detailed installation instructions.
Place the coredroid rom ZIP on the root of your sd card.
Flash new partition,go to CWM ,wipe data,cache partition,dalvik(advanced)>install zip from sd card>choose zip>install>reboot
Thanks....the installation description was for version 1.12....your description worked fine....thanks!
Hi Guys,
I have created this video trying to explain myself what was going on with my phone. Please someone help me to fix this.
just add youtube dot com/ (with the back slash) before the following link. Sorry since I'm new here it won't allow me to post any links.
watch?v=x8kIBi8NVsE
Problems are:
1. Not booting to Android Cyanogen
2. Stuck on MAGLDR Screen
3. Recovery (Vol down + Power button ) don't work.
4. Not connecting to activesync (Windows 7)
Thank you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Same problem, the only thing i get to work is WP7.
I want to install Android and there is no colored Bootloader and the USB-Flasher in MAGLDR isnt helpful for flashing something except WP7.
And when im using the toolkit the drivers (can be downloaded through the Toolkit) arent woking.
Thanks in advance ;-)

Hi,
It's worth trying to download an official ROM from T-Mobile and
Change the .exe to .zip and
Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.zip
find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less.
Then try to boot that from 2. Boot AD SD in magldr.

Okay I've done as you told and didn't work. It's saying SD kernal open failed. Do I have delete whatever I have in the SD card and just place only this file?
This wont work because the phone seeks an android-install not a winmo 6.5 stock-rom,
Sorry mate
Im seeking for solution for this problem 3 days now and the only thing that could work is an winmo installation on sd

The problem is that theire working on it but i dont know if it comes or when it comes to our phones, at the moment there is no solution to fix this,
by the way i have experienced that most of dft-roms and tools are working with usb-flasher mode in magldr, so we have to find someone who could modify a winmo rom to flash with daw.exe

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

Flashing the kernel is working , the install zip file Urukdroid transfer at the very last step still gives invalid file ans ask for re-sending a correct file , no matter what I do no file seems to be ok

... 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 ?

Maybe the sd card is to big for urukdroid... and the sd card have to be formatted to fat32 ad have to be clear..
Normally urukdroid installs on external sd card
You can in the advanced install method
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.
