Update.zip file - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I loaded the new miui. Tried flashing a new radio and have had no look. When I try it says update.zip not found. Anyone have this file and can share it? I've searched all day with no luck

Fyi I have figured out the issue. I noticed about 100 people looked at this but no one responded. To get an update.zip file it will have to b created from titanium back up. Go to menu more then create update.zip easy hope it helps some one out

Clockworkmod recover 3x

Hey I did a search and browsed for the answer without luck... is there a simple way to add the clockworkmod recovery 3.x to rom manager it only has 2.x at this time but would be nice if I could ad 3.x to the list. Downloaded it to my SD card so wondering if there is a folder I can put it in that Tom manager would pick up? Thanks for any help!

U have to do it manually. It won't work with rom manager at this time
Not sure if it works, but I saw this posted somewhere. If it does work its a bit of a hack, but in the folder that rom manager downloads the recovery to, move that file out to a different folder. then put the Clockwork 3 recovery into that folder and change its name to match the original file. Then flash recovery.
Interesting option..
Ok excellent thanks for the help.

[Q] Is there any way to recreate the part7backup file?

My SD Card died over the weekend and the only copy of my part7backup file was on there. Is there anyway to recreate this file in case I need it later to restore the phone to stock? Phone is working fine right now, running CM7 stable. But I'm just worried that I'll need the file sometime down the road if something goes wrong.
Look around in the unrooting threads in the development section. Lots of people have posted up a part 7 backup that people can use that works just fine.

In need of a file

Hey guys,
I overwrote my build.prop file last week with one supplied by a dev in a thread in order to fix a WiFi calling problem in their ROM. I'm back to CM7 but my WiFi calling is not working here now. It appears as if restores don't restore the build.prop file? Anyway, if someone could supply their build.prop file (if you're running a CM7 build flawlessly, even better!) I'd be greatly appreciative.
or you can simply take it out of the rom that you downloaded, jus open the zip and go to system and it should be at the bottom

[Q] LCARS bootanimation

Now LCARS bootanimation for desire
youtube link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zdeQDXGWyQ&feature=related
well, tested it my self on my desire, it works
extreact the signed zip, flash bootanimation through android flasher, thats it, reboot and enjoy.
credit goes to jrams over at htc 4g forum.
here is a screen shot:
file:
I have successfully pushed the bootanimation.zip to the /system/media folder and this runs well on an Oxygen ROM (2.16) however it is far too quick, it gets the the final image with "Memory Alpha Online" and then almost instantly goes black for a few seconds before displaying the lockscreen. Also, the associated sound file does not seem to play. How would I go about fixing these two issues? Or does anyone have a fix already implemented I could simply overwrite?

i did find a reply on a different site but I forgot to bookmark it. He mentioned that he had managed to get the animation both lengthened and the zip converted to edify scripting for flashing with CWM 3 and up, but I have no idea how to reproduce this

I think the ROM manager uses an 'old' CWM 2.5.0.7 as a 'fake flash'. This CWM is able to process the 'old' scripting.
The best thing is, you don't loose your original CWM.
It's just like using the old CWM temporarely.
Go for it and please report back.
Cheers

Yes the fake flash with rom manager does indeed work in terms of it will push the files to the system partition. Although it depends which rom you are using as it might push it to somewhere that doesn't get read. This can just as easily be done with es file explorer however.
Is anyone able to tell me how to extend the animation? Is it literally just a case of cloning the files and renaming the sequence and rezipping?

[Q] Create Rom.zip from backup

Hey,
I was just wondering, is there a way to create a flashable ROM (.zip) from an existing backup??
I have used CWM Recovery to create a backup of a ROM that I'm using (BlackICE). It has been customized to an extreme point. Removed several system apps and pushed my own apps to the system. Now I want to save it as a flashable ROM so that others, specifically a few of my friends, could also use it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You could download a ROM, then use the kitchen in the Chef Central section to add all if your stuff and remove the original developers stuff. That's the fastest way I know. I'm sure there is a better way.

Thanks. I know of that method, I was just wondering if it were possible to directly convert a backup to a ROM.
I'll keep searching. Thanks though =)

I've never tried but you may be able to open the backup and get the data from it

Root explorer will allow u to zip the archive and make it flashable.. just go to ur back up location, long press it, then hit zip this file.. it'll be saved to the speed software folder

Kinda slow with my responses but I tried that and although it did create a zip, I was unable to flash it because the file wasn't signed.
Another question comes to mind..
If I give my backup to someone else, will they be able to restore from it? By placing my backup folder into their /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ ??
Just curious =)

You could try toggling signature verification in CWM and then you should be able to flash..

Yes, that should work, as long as you have the same phones (mytouch4g). although, any texts or personal contact info will also restore to your friends phone

Greetings,
I made image files with dd command (boot.img, recover.img, system.img, etc.).
I zipped them, but when I wanted to flash them (usin toggling the signature), it requests an update file, which is not available.
(the phone is a bit different, Alcatel 918D)
I have been looking for the solution for 3 days with google.
Could anybody suggest?
Thanks,
Cappa.
