So I have all the files I think I need in the platform-tools folder and adb recognizes the device but when I type adb sideload update.zip, it says *cannot read 'update.zip' *. The problem isn't that it doesn't read sideload, but it doesn't read the file. Any thoughts?
I hope I'm able to help I had the same prob...when I renamed the file to update.zip. The thing was the file was really update.zip.zip, so try that as file name and see what happens....
Make sure the file you want to sideload is in the same folder as your adb folder, or type out the full path to the file you want to install.

I only named the file update so its full title would be update.zip so I don't think its the name that's causing the trouble. The file is already stored in the same folder as adb and fastboot. Thanks though, it really means a lot to have help on this
I had this issue as well. I only renamed it to update....after trying again and renaming it to update.zip it work fine. It'll show the file to be sideloaded as update.zip.zip

1. The update.zip.zip would have worked, it finally started sending, but I didn't want to lose any data so I did the framework service hack instead. Thanks guys!

im unable to make a ftf file with flashtool. i unzip the file. then search it, select it in source folder. The flashtool never opens the file and subfiles. It never displays in the left column. Ive started with a zip file, then unziped it. Ive also tried winRAR to extract the files. Im using 2.9.1 Java 1.6.0_24 os 6.1
Any help or tips would be appreciated
Hey, you must sure that in the zip file just one file .ftf, if so, extract it. If there are 4 files like system, data ... you must rename the .zip file to .ftf

All the files you want to bundle need to be in one folder and look similar to this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27083072/XDA/files.JPG
Then open flashtool and find the folder when you get to teh folder the location shoold appear blank, click open and you will get this

OK, what you have is wolfbreaks rom, this is installed on your phone via xrecovery not an ftf file, if you want to install it you need to install xrecovery on your phone first, then install this from there.
You need a rooted rom for this, so is your rom rooted and what version are you on 2.1 or 2.3
I have x recovery on my phone know. That's how I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3, because my phone is sim unlocked. Super user is v2.3.6.1 I followed a thread on the upgrade. I can link which thread when I'm home.

first i would like to say thank you for all your help and tips. this site is the sh!t!! it was a noob mistake. when i looked back in the files in xrecovery it was listed.but once i scrolled down, there is was. oh man!! i spent hrs looking up threads and videos to see if there was something i was missing. there it was. one page down. lol. so i was able to install the new wb 3.5
thank you!!
time to look at what the differences in 3.6
Please I really need someone with root and didn't deleted some files do this for me!
If you are not sure you are the person, do it anyway, maybe it can be useful!
Ok. Run the file attached (remember to unzip first) and see if there is 2 files on the folder (after you ran it!), the files are "recovery-from-boot.p" and "install-recovery.sh". If you found those files, please upload them to me, as I download it I give you thanks and mention you on my Thread LordAIOTool, I need the files to use on it!
Thanks
I'm not on Windows, but looking at your batch file, it looks like all you're doing is pulling /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, yes?
If that's the case, here's those two files from my MZ604.

Ok, thanks

FYI recovery-from-boot.p only works for a specific boot images (namely the stock one that is shipped from google).
If you try to use this file on any other boot image it will fail.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to your #10 AIO Tool! Hope you fixed the Mount SD card issue.
I've installed cm9 but it doesn't come with any file explorer.
I don't have any internet access on my phone right now so I can't download from market, but I have to restore the apps using titanium backup.
So I need a flashable zip with a file explorer that works on cm9 to install TitaniumB from my sdcard
you should have copied a file manager apk to the app folder in the rom archive before flashing :|
No need to flash, u can use adb shell to install the app.
adb install filemanager_name.apk
EDIT:
Success !
Thanks

where do I have to put the .apk file? because i get the message:
"can't find 'titanium.apk' to install"

The easy way is to put the apk file in the same folder with adb command
or indicate the path to this apk (e.g. adb install /documents/android_apps/filemanager.apk)
the best way is to go in browser and type file:///sdcard/file_managername.apk
to the app folder in the rom archive before
flashing :|
I tried to update to 4.2 and I changed the android.policy.odex file and maybe this is not good one and the android does not goes up.
I can go into recovry and conect to adb. someone have the write file or way to solve this problem.
can I paste the file therout adb or flashable zip ??
Thanks
I found the right file
How can I use adb to delete the file on the device and push the new one?
edit
I understand that I cant go into this folders with the adb beacuse it says I dont have perrmision/ and I maybe need flashable zip file. how I do flashable zip for this file?
I tried to pull the system files from the stock system.img thru Dsixda kitchen....it said no system files found. Sgs2 popped up, but there was no files.
I did this to pull system files from tmobile stock firmware. So im not too sure of why it didnt pull the files.
I did use 7zip to "unzip" the tar file. Selected system.img and put it in the kitchen....selected "set up working folder"...then I got no system files found.
Am I missing something?

Why don't you connect your phone in debug mode and shift right click in your working folder and : adb pull /system/
Or are you working from files only? If so you can run your Linux commands from kitchen?

Make it an ext4 then add a boot.img and a cache or data partition. Then try to set up the working folder
