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

When you extracted the file.. He created a folder name [GingerFroyo.1.4.16]
Just open this Folder and inside you will see another folder in the same name..
This is one that you should copy in xrecovery/backup/ folder.. this file contains 4 files..

Just make sure you have downloaded the new one. Extract it on your PC and you will have a folder named GingerFroyo 1.4.16
Put that folder in SD > xrecovery > backup
Restore and make full wipe

better try to redownload, and see what will happen

I just downloaded the file just now, and when I extracted the file it came with the folder [GingerFroyo.1.4.16].. and inside that folder I saw a folder again in the same name..
this is the folder as just copy in xrecover/backup
yep, there is 4 file..drag the folder again to sd->xrecovery->backup. and put the folder there. reboot with xrecovery, choose back up and restore, select restore->GingerFroyo.1.4.16. after finish installation, make sure u make factory reset (full wipe). then reboot.

problem installing Argen2Stone 2.7 rom

good evening everyone
strate after the rom file I copy the folder to SD / ClockworkMod / backup
I open the recovery but get an error "incompatible MDL5"
What am I doing wrong?
someone I can spend more installation details?
I've been the last Rom Cyanogen ICS
Thanks
Try downloading the files again and try to restore with the freshly downloaded nandroid backup, perhaps some files just got messed up and corrupted along the way. And should it be md5 not mdl5? Maybe you could check the files on your pc and rename it

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.

Which file in a flashable zip

Which file ln a flashable zip should i edit to change the name which comes while flashing the zip
For Example:
When flashing ICS icon pack
It come on the screen
"ICS icons by abhirocks
Thanx me"
How edit those line
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Go to META-INF/com/google/android.. Open the updater script. There you'll see lines like this :-
Code:
ui_print("Icons by [email protected]");
or something like that. The message in the quotes are displayed on screen.

It should be edited in the updater-script of the flashable zip and it must be signed after editing
follow the link bro it needs ALL THE SCRIPTS U WANT... + u hav to update the file called updater-script

anyways the code is
Code:
ui_print ("I'm a potatooooooooooooooooooooooooo")
I made a icon pack zip file, but after i edited the updater script it shows installation aborted what should i do to fix it
I work nicely when i tried without editing the script

i think you forgot to put something in the edify,
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
I'm not saying that you're dumb. I just want to know the source of the problem and make sure of it,
Code:
code 2 means its not signed
code 6 means something wrong with the script
no error code means the installation file is broken/corrupted.
the last case is very rare. it might comes from these stuff:
1 the file is corrupted when you copy it to sdcard
2 the sdcard is broken and need to be reformated
3 you didnt't zip it correctly.
you can do these several step to check on it:
1 the zip method when you make the zip file should be store, not compress.
2 try to open the zip file with any zip file manager. you should see the folder inside it are
Code:
meta-inf
<another folder names>
<a bunch of files>
if you only see a folder when you opened it, it means you didn't zip it correctly
All the folders are there zipping it againg n i was joking about the dumb thing dont mind

[AROMA] Pimp My ROM Universal Tweaks/Mods

Check this out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269
You can flash this zip over any ROM, it will launch Aroma Installer and will allow you to install many tweaks and mods to speed up your ROM and add more functionality.
Try this on "THAT ROM" for a great increase in speed. Make sure to download the HDPI version for the Atrix.
*****FOR THOSE WHO DOWNLOAD BEFORE READING*****
**********BEFORE FLASHING THIS PLEASE*************
- Open the zip of the rom you are running (the .zip file that you flash in recovery)
- Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android
- Extract the file called "update-binary" and rename it to "update-binary-installer"
- Open Pimp my Rom's zip (i.e : PIMP_MY_ROM-v1.4.1-Universal.zip)
- Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android and delete "updater-binary-installer"
- Now copy the "update-binary-installer" file you extracted from your rom to Pimp My Rom's zip (still in META-INF/com/google/android)
- Close the zip and flash it, the installation process should now work normally so you can Pimp your Rom !"
Done that on REDPILL and it works great.. need to see "that ROM"
Good job it is
