Ive download a few different files for android, i set my screen setting and everytimei run clrcad then haret it rolls me through a black screen then says i have to unzip a rootfs file.
the root file is there but everytime i go through winzip to extract it it tells me theres an error, its been like this for all root zipped files..... what am i doing wrong?
Are you using builds for SD?
ummm what i did was youtubed it then went to the links they had and started downloading from there, i downloaded the lastest froyo
There are millions of youtube videos...
Ok lets start from scratch here.
Did you install HSPL 2.08 to your device?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Then did you update your radio?
Found in that same link.
How are you installing Android? Did you install MAGLDR to install and boot from NAND? Or are you saving Android to your SD and booting into windows then into Android?
We need to know what steps you did and how you are trying to boot Android to help you out. At least post a link to the video plz.
well 1. did you check if those zip files were rar? most files are for root. and makesure that you have granted superuser permissions. If you followed a youtube video start over nd just flash what ever you originally had and then try again.And remember to backup your files!
Ok this pertains to the ROM builds for MAGLDRv1.13 with CMW. When i downloaded this rom >this ROM it came in as a .JAR file. Now where do I go from there? I have tried putting it inside the SD card through USB MassStg but nothing And I do apologize if this has been asked but I've been trying to fix this for the past 4 hours.

Hi,
not sure why it downloads as a .jar file,but try:
Rename the .jar file to have a .zip extension (if your download program does not recognize .jar files)
If its a MAGLDR install then extract file to folder on PC. Connect phone using USB and select USB flasher in MAGLDR options. Then for that particular rom then run the file called DAF.exe.
if you have a jar file, you must have clicked the wrong link. it will be (and ive just checked) a zip file.
i suspect you want this link
NDT MIUI GINGER V9.1_Multilang_MAGLDR-CWM
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

I tried to flash my HTC HD2 with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
after installing Hardspl 2.08 i used MAGLDR1.13
but now the phone just boots with white screen and HTC logo
i guess i forgot to install the radio?
but what now?
cant reach bootloader
just comes up for one second when i try hardreset
then asks for restoring to factory setting but that doesnt work neither
is it possible to autoflash with some sort of sd card
or do i have a chance to get at least usb connection up again ?
Thanks for help
edit
ive read that its possible to boot from sd card, using some sort of LEOIMG.nbh at root directory
extracted exe file and renamed "RUU_signed.nbh" to LEOIMG.nbh
ill try next step tommorow
gn8 ^^
You know the keys to get into bootloader isn't the same as for a hard reset, right?
Hold volume down only, tap and release power, release vol down only when stripey screen appears.
uhm, thanks ...
i swear it didnt work but for some reason now works
ive read in that guide
"3. Browse to the folder you extracted your NAND Android Package files to on your pc, right click on Run DAF.exe (or Install.exe if DAF.exe isnt present) and select Run as Administrator"
but in "Tyween's Typhoon CM7 v3.6.3" rom is neither daf or install.exe?
Do i have to launch magldr from pc and preload rom into it, befor transfering it into htc?
sorry ... im still confused
well okay i think i hav eto upload some files into it, but which? all of zip or do i have to upload the original zip?
inside that zip theres "boot, meta-inf and system"
Copy the whole zip to SD and install it from cwm.
ive done it, thanks
I'm getting an error when I try to install a .zip file through CWM recovery.
I get an error saying : E: Can't Open /sdcard/x (No such file or directory exists).
I've looked around and have learned that my best bet is to format my SD card. I can do that just fine, but I don't want to lose my data. I'm not flashing a ROM, it's just a custom lockscreen clock. If I format, I'll have to redo everything and lose all my data, apps, and system files (I'm running CM7 off of my SD card). But I need that for my zip to even be worth it.
I'm running a nightly build. Is there any possibility/plausibility that this could be a ROM-specific bug?
Is there any advice as to what I should do?
Thanks in advance.

If you are running CM7 on SD you do not flash zips to it with ordinary CWM. Ordinary CWM will flash things to emmc. But maybe that is what you are trying to do. You do not say what you have on emmc.
If you want to flash the zip to the SD installation, make sure the zip file starts with update- and put it in the boot partition just like you do for roms. Then boot to SD recovery and the script will install it to SD.
An alternate way to flash things to SD installed CM7 is to use a special CWM modified for use on SD installs. You can read about and get it by looking at my tips thread linked in my signature. Item B5.
If you want to flash to emmc, make sure you are using an ordinary SD to put the zip on. Ordinary CWM always looks for partition one on the sd for the zip file. On your CM7 SD, the file is on partition 4 so CWM cannot find it.
So I'm trying to flash a new clock for my NC's unlock screen. The zip is called HoneyCombClock.zip. So do I just rename it to update.zip? That's not going to mess anything up?
Also yes, I booted into boot menu and selected emmc recovery. I thought that I needed to do CWM recovery.
I'll try the proposed method when I get a confirmation that it's not going to mess up my NC.

You need to find out if it is a flashable zip... or if it is an app that has been zipped... I'm betting on the latter.

If it is a flashable zip like Dizzy pointed out, you should rename to update-HoneyCombClock.zip. But I agree with Dizzy that it is probably a zipped apk file, not a flashable zip. Try looking at it with a zip program and see what you get.
It is indeed a flashable zip. I extracted it to make sure.
Also, I'm curious as to what you (leapinlar) meant when you instructed me to put the zip in the boot partition. From what I understand, that's the root of the SD card, right? Or has it changed?

Yes, it is what shows up on your PC when you take the card out of the nook and put it in the PC. Copy the zip there, rename it like I suggested above, put back in nook. When booting hold the n key until the boot menu comes up. Select SD and recovery and finish booting. The recovery script will install the zip.
I'm doing it and I'm not getting any errors, but when I boot into recovery, it runs through and shuts down without installing the zip. I don't understand what I could be doing wrong.

And you renamed it like I said with update- on the front? (Don't forget the dash and no spaces.)
The file name is "update-HoneyCombClock". That should work right?
Sorry about these extended questions.

and .zip at the end?
It's automatically recognized as a zip file. If I put .zip at the end, it will show up on my tablet as "update-HoneyCombClock.zip.zip" Nevertheless, I'll try it and see what I get. I'll laugh if it works.

Even if you get it flashing with your SD setup... it may not work if it requires honeycomb and you're running gingerbread.
It's meant for cm7. Here's a link to the thread I got the zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602

What does the script say when it boots to SD recovery? Does it say install zip not found? And when you take it back out and look at it in the PC, is it still there? If it installed, the script will remove it. I know you can have your PC set to not show known extensions so it looks like it is missing. Temporarily disable that so you can really see the name. The script requires that it be named precisely, update- at the beginning, .zip at the end and no spaces.
The script doesn't mention any .zip installation. The zip file stays on my sd card root after recovery.
I just set my computer to show extensions. I'll retry the installation and make sure that every detail is perfect.
I remember doing something similar when I flashed a nightly on my nook. It was a .zip file. It wasn't flashing, so I looked around and got the impression that it would only instal if it had "update-" at the beginning. So I renamed it and it installed. I don't know what's up with my NC now. Is there any possibility that this could be a bug with the nightly? Or are installations not affected by ROM's.

No the existing rom will make no difference. It could be the zip itself. It has to be structured like a rom zip. It needs a /system directory with the files you want to flash. And it needs a META-INF folder with the script file buried in it. Where did you get the zip? Maybe I could look at it for you.
EDIT: I just downloaded and looked at it. It is just adding a single font to your /fonts folder. Nothing else. You can do that manually with root explorer. Just extract the font from the zip and copy to /system/fonts.
I got the zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602
The clock can be flashed on any device with the following zip in recovery just like before.

The zip has a font file and a meta-inf folder.

I replaced the file, but now I'm in an infinite bootloop.It just keeps doing the skateboarding android animation. Please tell me this isn't a problem with permissions. I don't know if I can even edit permissions now.
