I want to learn how to port some ROM. But i have little problem with installing
So first of all i take a Rom from Nexus One' forum
After i take HyperDroid.
First of all i copied "Boot" and "META-INF" folders from HyperDroid to Nexus's Rom and tried to install throug CWR.
But it gave me "Installation Aborted" error.
What can i do?..I Know that i have to modify some system files to do a port. But apart from this the rom should install however. Isn't it?

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,
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...

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.
hi guys!
First of all : I'm new to the custom rom scene development. I do know how to flash and so..
So i've installed cygwin and the android kitchen. I took the stock rom provided to me by the manufacturer, i was able to set up the working folder. Then I did : "Build ROM from working folder", without making any changes to apk's or something like that.
When i got the update.zip file i tried flashing it with a recovery and using the update.zip in /sdcard method. The first method just stopped after verifying, the second method said it was an invalid package.
I believe there is something wrong with the signing of the rom. Could you guys help me out?
Thx!
Check type of script used in update.zip

Did u signed the update.zip while exporting rom using cygwin menu. ?
If you didnt sign it will notify that is invalid
But there might be some other kind of issue like
1. Cygwin provides updater_script and update_script in update.zip package it contain all information reguarding flashing
check that your device require which type of script .
let me know your responce.
Press thanks button. if this helped
Hey guys recently i was trying my hand at porting roms. I have read a lot of guides and i know mostly all about flashing or modifying custom roms or kernel etc. But i am stuck because every time i try to flash my ported rom it gives this error :-
could not find meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary
Flashing fails after this error. I have already checked that update-binary file is present at the correct location and I am 100% sure i am following all the porting guides completely but still i am getting this error. I have tried 2-3 different guides but every single time i get this error. Can anyone tell me where am i going wrong?

i had similar issue, didn't flash the system & boot.img. Creating Zip on different platform fixed it.

I am also using Windows 10 Pro. Can you tell me how did you create the zip? I just put all the files like Meta-inf , system , boot.img and others if something more is present into a folder and convert it into a Zip using 7zip. Do i need to do something else??
