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?

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

[Q] Problems with Jellyblast installation

Hi!
I downloaded the Jellyblast V3 ZIP several times now. But unfortunately it's not flashable (CWM says bad). So I had a look into the Zip. It looks good, but all CRCs are null. If I try to extract any file (with WinRAR or 7-Zip, all the same) the archiv is corrupted. Any ideas what the problem is?

the file is corrupted.. redownload the zip file and try again it should work.

Try with xplore file manager.
Just replace your files with it. No need to unzip and zip. Xplore will do it automatically.

After cygwin extracts the firmware, there is system.img. I was unable to extract it even if the explore2fs opened up, so I found up this method.
anything more to ask?

u can use to extract system folder in cygwin...sometimes it is useful...to have options...
u almost must know 2 to 3 different methods...
like i can do this diffrently as follows...
download http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Misc Files/SGS2 to Ext4 Utility/sgs2toext4.zip
extract it somewhere.
make sure u have java installed
in the folder extracted right click with shift button ppressed...u will get option to open command window here.
when cmd is open give this command
java -jar sgs2toext4.jar
it will open up.
then just drag and drop ur system.img there and u get system.ext4.img
download disk internal linux reader from internet
after installing disk internal linux reader ...click on mount image.>>raw image>>next>>browse to our ext4.img file created.
and u can browse ur system.img there and can save it. u can also mount hidden.ext4.img,cache.ext4.img like wise.
this can be very usefull if u want to extract chache,hidden,system imgs. (u might get bored of linux and want to do some fun on ur windows pc).

Do I forcibly told you follow this guide? And I think neither I asked what will you do with system.img ?
So it's better not to troll me.

Idid not mean to offend you. At least k2wl give a proper response. When you give a "guide" you should at least give a reason or purpose. I am interested on the system folder as a lot of things there pertaining to the rom. Maybe you found a way in windows to put it back to "img" ? We don't know because you did not explain. So please stop being emotional and give a proper response like k2wl did.

I thought you must be knowing that would "system.img" is.
After cygwin setup working folder system.img is present inside it. I was not able to extract it using the cygwin as it was not responding. So I found an alternate method, this method will extract the system files. And then you can place it inside the working folder.
