Hi.
I recently installed sdsl 1.1 but now i want to go back to mu4ik 2.3.7 swift droi but recovery wont install the rom.
Does anyone knows why and what i have to do
could you explain what you mean by it wont install the ROM?
When i install zip in recovery it aborts.
I downloaded swiftdroid ASIS zip file,inside that zip there is a recovery.img and an update....zip
If i try to flash a asis file it will just abort
.if i use the update.zip will say bad file or something

Firstly you have to install update.zip extract it from the rar/zip you have download and copy that file in the root of your sd card.
Also check if you have download the file properly and there are no spaces in between the name of the file.
And lastly try using a 2+ recovery.

i've extracted the zip files, but no clue where to put them :|
(system stuff goes into the system folder, but what about the META-INF folder?)
install it with xrecovery.

camera n compass u flash it in xrecovery. u can flash both then reboot without having to reboot after each flash.
as for mddi u need to do it manually for now i don't think doixanh made a xrecovery zip yet
the meta-inf folder basically just contains a script to tell xrecovery where to copy the files.

I know how to flash a rom ending with .zip with Xrecovery but i dunno about .rar
Can someone please advise me?
Thanks
You can't flash that rom. You can only restore it from xrecovery.
You unrar it and copy the content to xrecovery.

Ok so i was trying to root my SGS and got stuck in the first step.
It says after u download the zip u unzip and there is supposed to be a .tar file.
But after i unzipped mine was another zip so i unzipped that and there was some weird file called : zImage
Its not a tar file so says my computer. Is it supposed to be like that? Any help will be thanked.
So i tried rooting my phone and it didn't work, i am on gingerbread and have no experience about SGS but have some experience about android.
So after i failed my root i tried turning on the phone but this weird picture of a phone/yellow triangle/computer
And it won't let me turn on the phone fully, i can only go to download mode and nothing else. i have tried hard reset but not working.
Please help!

You have to flash a complete stock rom to get the phone to work

Start with settings in Windows file manager = show file extensions (like .tar .zip .txt .exe)
Depending on what program used to unzip, .zip and .tar might have same icons. Show file extension to see difference.

thats what i did and this is what happened.
do i have to flash to stock rom again or can i just root again and it will
boot?
The zimage file is contained in the .tar, but still you need to flash the .tar file...
.Tar files seem like zip files and can be extracted, so to solve the windows showing the file as zipped do as O-T said:

Then start ODIN with administrator privileges and use the .tar file (ONLY TAR FILES) as PHONE, do not choose any other file and certainly dont tick re-partition, after all are ready (and your phone is in download mode and recognized by ODIN) press start.
If you failed and see the screen with "Phone/YellowTriangle/Computer" do not worry, just pull out the phone battery, leave it with battery off for 30 secs, put the battery back in, get your phone to download mode (guess you are putting your phone to download mode before flashing, right?) and try again using the instructions that you have read in all those posts!

try a different recovery version and follow the steps leoposas wrote in his thread
Did you flashed the downloaded file directly or did you opened the zip and deleted any stuff in that?
Sent from my LG-GT540 using xda premium
No, I didn't modify any files in it.
What is your recovery version
Sent from my LG-GT540 using xda premium
The "bad error" is probably an indicator of a corrupted zip archive. It maybe got corrupted during download, or during transferring to phone. For download try using different browser or a download manager. For transferring to phone make sure that coping is finished without any errors.
It's a problem with a microSD card
Are you able to install it now

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to convert kdz rom to zip ROM?
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda premium
Firstly u need to extract KDZ file with LGExtract. It will extract cab file and dz file within. Then u needs to extract boot.img and system.img with DZDecrypt, but to get boot.img u need to use 0.5 version. For system.img use 1.0 version. If u have that 2 files, download dsixda kitchen and follow what screen says

Sry, you meant you can't extract cabinet file? Remove cab file integration in 7zip and it will open in windows explorer.

Yes. I have done so, but I still do not unzip the file. cab. I have tried the following in cmd:
D: \ LG \ lgextract-KDZ F180K20K_00.kdz
after it is completed, I get the file F180K20K_00.cab
Next, I used the command:
D: \ LG \ 7z x (or e) F180K20K_00.cab
and I get the error message: Error: Can not open file as archive
After all, I've tried many versions and 7z LGExtract but they all failed. So what is the reason? Does windows version?
p / s: sorry for my english is very bad.

I've read that thread before. But I can not unzip the file. Cab with 7zip or winrar.
In case 2, used to extract UpTestEX.exe. KDZ ->. dz, I can not unzip it. 2 dz by DZextract and DZDecrypt tool.
The reason is that the OS version or ROM version?
Sorry, I just recently see that you're trying to extract F180 (Optimus G)'s firmware. These methods are only for first generation of L series (L3, L5, L7). It certainly won't work on newer phones. (Yes, although the format is still kdz, the extracting method will differ between devices).
if i extract/ convert a kdz file to a zip zom can i install it in virtualbox
i installed android 4.3 on virtualbox so can i use my phone firmware on my pc??

No. You don't use anyone ROM in computer. You only can mod, cook it. Demo just on the phone. The dev-app can use Android Studio/eclipse.
