Backup all data before starting anything new.
All coredroid roms come with detailed installation instructions.
Place the coredroid rom ZIP on the root of your sd card.
Flash new partition,go to CWM ,wipe data,cache partition,dalvik(advanced)>install zip from sd card>choose zip>install>reboot
Thanks....the installation description was for version 1.12....your description worked fine....thanks!

Hi,
All Core Droid ROMS are downloaded as a RAR. file.
Extract this and you will see instructions plus the zip file you need to put on the root of your sd card.

at this moment, the Coredroid 2.1 is a barebones zip. You need to go to the CoreDroid forum and read around. There are a lot of stuff there. I have a tut in my sig....

Hi,
I looked on the [OP] for installation information and there was nothing.
If, as you say there is no longer anything in the download,it must be kinda hard for a noob to install this...

Q.E.D.
@aungpe
Hi,
I think you downloaded a "ZIP"
This should NOT be extracted.
Go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then go to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)
After installation,reboot.
Give it time.
Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.
I took the plunge and decided to updgrade my HD2 to Android from Windows 6.5.
I did the following:
Radio to 2.**.51.**
Loaded HSPL 2.80
Flashed MAGLDR successfully.
I now turn on my phone hoping to see the MAGLDR menu through a 'long hold' on the on/off key but I get a white screen with htc in green and nothing else. The phone doesn't progress any further.
I've taken the battery out and tried again but same thing.
If I go into the bootloader menu, I get the coloured bars and at the top its got:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Have I screwed it?
Got the radio wrong,, its 2.xx.50 you need not 51
Radio should be. 50 not. 51. Reflash radio from bootloader.
Sent from my Cyanogen HD2
Thanks guys. Flashed the correct Radio and now takes me into the MAGLDR menu.
However, another prob. I've been following instructions I got from a friend of a friend which states:
1. At Magldr menu, selct USB Flasher and run DAF.exe <done this successfully>
2. Once done, load clockwork mod <done this successfully>
3. Install the ROM from a zip file after copying this to the SD root. The zip file in my case is 'MCCM HD V5.1 CWR,NAND' and contains a Boot, Meta-inf and system folder.
When I try and run this through the Clockwork Mod i.e. 'Install zip from sd card' it runs but then aborts installation saying 'E:Can't open /sdcard/ROM/MCCM HD V5.1 CWR.NAND.zip (bad)'
Any ideas whats happening ?
Thanks
you arent unzipping the file are you? you don't need to open that zip to see what it contains. just put the whole zip on the sd card and choose it from cwm.

Try redownloading the file. On my Optimus, it only says that upon bad download, or corrupted file.

The folder is zipped when you put it on the SD card right? If not, then copy the original downloaded folder (zipped) to the SD card and try again.
Hi yes, I have left the file zipped.
Is there a link that anyone can post for this zip file please and I'll try it again.
Also once I've done this successfully, there is an Update.zip file that I think I have to run. Can anyone confirm this is the case?
Lastley, once I've done the above I'm guessing that I have the device in a state to now flash an Android type i.e. Gingerbread, Froyo, etc.
Is this true and what do you guys recommend - any links would be helpful.
I can almost taste the sweet succes of having Android on my HD2 !!
Then why bother flashing another ROM? Just skip the flashing MCCM's ROM and go straight to a ROM of your choice. As for which ROM, there are too many but I would recommend Typhoon CM7. The only way to know for sure is to try them out.
the CM rom is a very good choice

that was the rom being flashed. If you didn't want that rom, you should put a different rom.zip on your sd card, and possibly flash a different cwm partition layout in the previous steps.
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.
Look at my edit above
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.
Hi guys,
When I enter cwm recovery mode and try to install zip file (tries several, none working), the message is: cannot open zip file (bad)... installation aborted.
Any help is much appreciated.

which Rom you're trying to flash? make sure that the zip file is right, or is there another zip in the zip file?
Solution found - automatically opened zip files in safari

I think I have found the solution. I figured there might happen something with the zip files after they are downloaded when my Mac OS X Yosemite opens them (I re-compress the folders usually and transfer the new zip file to an external SD.) So I turned off safe opening on safari preferences, re-downloaded the rom (this time: Pac Man ROM), flashed, and it worked like a charm!
So either you're running Mac or Windows, auto-expanding might cause trouble with the zip files.
I hope others will find this helpful as well.
Merry xmas!
