Im trying to get the glazeddonut rom into the nexus 7...I copy it to my download directory...in the file itself it contains a boot.img as well as two
subdirectories...i copy over the entire zip file....I then go into a program rom manager and clockworkmod recovery is flashed...then I go to install rom from sd card my zip file located in the download directory. When i chose that file all i see are two subfolder META-INF and system/
at this point how do i install the rom ...sorry if its a dumb question..im sure its something simple im just not seeing....

I've been trying to get a new rom on my phone, as I have a cyanogen right now. But everytime I download the zip files they're not zip files. The icon is a java icon, and I can still extract. When I push the files to my sdcard and try to flash the rom, the phone doesn't recognize it as a zip or any file at all.
Edit: They are downloading as jar files. What do I need to do to make them zip files?
Excuse the noob question but I wanted to try out the FlipDroidmod 2.1 but the download is a rar file.
How do I install that using Recovery - I thought it had to be a zip file?
Thanks
you need to extract the .rar file and place the folder in the same folder as
your nandroid backups and restore it from recovery
Please forgive me guys if this has been asked before ..........I've searched the forum without success......but my problem is with this
;
Universal_GB_ROOT_v9.zip mediafire.com/?a99wthh9p98bm0y
I followed the advised procedure but when I get to the choices screen and select install from SD Card, I am then shown this list of options:
../
.android_secure/
Android/
DCIM/
LOST.DIR/
META-INF /
system/
Where do I start, I have tried going through in sequence with no success/response, I have then tried just selecting META-INF / & system / in sequence, again no joy....... could someone give this inquisitive old duffer a walk through, or show me what I'm doing wrong, PLEASE:fingers-crossed:
You are not supposed to extract the zip. Just select install zip from sd card, then select the root zip. Don't extract it and you will be fine.

Thanks for the quick reply......I have not extracted anything, I just downloaded the zip file went nowhere near extraction and the file in my SD card says META INF & system, no where is it named as zip.
Would you by any chance have a good link for the zip file instead.....be grateful.
You're using apply update from SD card in CWM right?
Well location of your zip file should be..
/sdcard/*here*
If you are using atock recovery then the zip file should be on top of the list.. It SHOULD be a .zip file
if you are using clockworkmod recovery then the .zip file will be at the end of the list.. Good luck
Press thanks if i helped you

I'm a new developer and have applied all my tweaks and edits via root explorer so far. is there a way to change a CWM backup into a flashable rom file for other users to flash? I searched around a bit, but couldn't seem to find anything about it.
Goto this thread here
follow all the setup to install cygwin & kitchen
once it's all setup you can plug your phone in and create a rom
follow the guide (second method) for creating the rom system files by extracting the system folders from your phone (rom you are using)
you can then turn it into a flashable rom zip
I think you just basically extract the CWM backup, then repackage them in 1 zip file (except for the androidsecure backup).

YOU CAN USE THE CWM BACKUP IN KITCHEN YO MAKE A CUSTOM ROM.BUT YOU CAN'T ABLE TO USE THE BACKUP FILE DIRECTLY AS A CUSTOM ROM.
OTHER HAND YOU CAN MAKE ALSO THIS BACKUP AS A DEODEXED STOCK ROM BY DEODEXING THIS BACKUP FILES.

Hmm thats how i make roms that i dont post here though....
In tthe cwm backup u have system.rfs.tar
Extract it using 7zip
U get system.img or u might get a system folder....
Extract the img file using Magic Iso
Open magic iso
In menu..
File>open
Select ur system.img
On the left side pane right click on the disk icon and click extract.select ur destination
Once the files are all extracted copy all of them in a folder named "system"
Now get a meta-inf folder from a custom rom and zip
Meta-Inf and system folder together
U have ur rom...
Ill create a video tutorial for this tomorrow as many people ask this question in different threads of devices....

Hi I created a bootanimation and want to make it flashable. I followed tutorials from the net and xda. I got two files META-INF and system.
I put my bootanimation.zip in system/media. That's all. I didn't touch META-INF .
After flashing the zip in cwm, it says Installation aborted . Need Help please...
thats because the flashable zip wasnt for your phone
status 0 - wrong update binary
status 6 - wrong update script
here is my template for you
simply download it
open it in winrar (or if using phone just unzip everything)
open the system foler
you will notice a framework folder that is currently empty
you can leave this folder as it is
just create folders to where you want to flash the file to
for example your bootanimation.zip create the following
in the system folder create a folder called media
in the media folder place your bootanimation.zip
the same is true for any other files you want to flash
if you want to flash a file to system/framework just put a file in that folder
if you want to flash a file to system/app just create a folder called app in the system folder and put what you want to flash there
if on winrar you just have to open the zip and right click and create a folder - no need to unzip everything
if on phone and you have unzipped everything just zip everything back up when done
flashable zip template can be download from here
if you are using stock rom you need to enable custom boot animations first using the custom boot enabler zip
(if you already have a custom boot animation and bootanimation.zip working in a custom rom then you dont need to do this)

If just a bootanimanion, push using root browser only
Or using a another flashable bootanimation file and the replace the bootanimation.zip with yours
I attch it . Credits to its maker
works perfectly! thanks
