I am rooted and wanted to use unrevoked forever so I could install the Virtuous 2.7 rom. I have followed all the instructions and downloaded unrevoked forever and put the zip file on the root of my sd card. then I rebooted into recovery and went to install the zip but it doesnt show up. I checked on astro to make sure it was on the root of my sd card and it is. Any ideas why the zip wont show up?
Thanks!
It won't show if is named wrong. Make sure it isn't named .zip.zip In other words zip twice

Noob question...when installing a ROM on the Evo does the .zip file on the SD card have to be named PC36IMG? For instance, if I download Fresh, do I rename it PC36IMG to install it?
I didn't. That file was used when I first rooted the phone. After that, the name of the file didn't matter. Just as long as the extension was .zip.
Yeah, It can be named whatever, you just need to go into recovery and select the zip to be ran. Pretty simple.
Thanks for the replies. It turns out the problem was my Fresh 0.3 download was bad. A new download worked great.
ok i have the evo i am on a stock rooted 2.2 but i cant seem to figure out how to flash the custom rom. i have followed all of the steps but when i go to install rom from sd card and click on the rom i want to install i do not get the option to back up and wip etc... it goes to folders like system/ data and meta.....wtf is this y isnt it working?????? help me
Did you leave the rom in a zip file?
i tried downloading it on my mac and transferring it over and from my phone and the files download in a folder containing seperate folders. but when i download it says zip though
should be 1 file 'whateverROMname.zip' and it needs to be in root (not in sub folder) of sd card.
its on the root im compressing the files into zips now then ima see if it works

Why are you zipping? the file you downloaded should be in .zip formant already. Just drag and drop that .zip file on your card.
Try rom manager from the market, it works great, it has some updated roms pre installed or you can download to sd card, very simple to use, for a noob like me.
when i downloaded it it wasnt it was in folders. ok i just went through the steps then after backing up and everything it took me to the recovery screen i selected reboot device and it brought my **** back to the standard rom wtf
Here is how i do it.
1. Download Rom (the zipped file)
2. Put on SD card
3. Reboot into Recovery
4. Install zip from sd card option
5 Choose zip from sd card
6.Choose the zip file you put on sd card in step 2
5. Reboot
Lmk if this helps
I am not a noob, but am a noob to Android on the Epic. I've been ok on my Vibrant, but I am trying to assist a friend on installing Mobile AP or Wireless Tether on the Epic.
I have read all of the docs., but all seem to skip the point of how to install the apk. On the Vibrant, I can copy the zip files right to the internal sd, and reboot into clockwork recovery, and install from there. With the Epic, not so.
Apks are installed thru the file explore or astro.
What about .zip installs? Do I have to rename the files to update.zip for clockwork receover to see it at boot? It doesn't have browse, like the Vibrant.
clockworkmod needs to be install first before you can browse zip files
Yes, thanks, that worked for the .apk, but what about the .zip installs that are flash installed via recovery, such as MobileAP, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804.
For example, when I copied the 'mobileap' .zip installation file to the sd card, rebooting into clockwork recovery, it does not see the it. It only see's a previously used, update.zip file.

I have installed clockwork mod.
boot into clockworkmod recovery, select install zip from sd card, and then select your zip file.
Every time i try to flash a rom i get a error that says
E:Cant find update script
Using Amon Ra recovery. Wiped everything and partitioned sd card.
Thanks for any help
Sounds like the update package is not signed with valid keys. Is your phone rooted ?

check your zip. If you zip a file two folders deep it will give the same error. open your zip and see if you see your files or another folder.
yeah when i unzip it, the first folder i see is the name of the rom "fresh" then when i open it, I see; boot image file, data folder, META-INF folder, sdcard folder, and system folder.
Well update script is in META-INF\com\google\android but if your zip file is not signed then it can't be flasshed that is why you get upgrade script not found.
How do i do that????? And walk me through what "signed" means
And im using a macbook pro if that helps any
Thanks a ton
Well did unziped the zip folder ? Did you make any changes to the installation zip ?
Now what rom are you running. So you have root ? When you use connectbot and type su deo you see #? It could be that your phone is not ruter and does not have proper recovery installed since we can't sign rom with the same keys that developers at sprint use we have to root the phone and allow it to accept custom rom.
all i did was download the fresh rom from the forum onto my computer, compressed it (zipped it) then rebooted my phone into recovery, wiped everything i needed to, enabled the usb, moved the zip over to the phone, disabled the usb and then went to flash zip, found the zipped fresh rom and tried to flash it.
Im running my stock rom that came with the phone.
If you running this on mac the os x will unzip ypur file and put the download file in trash so use zip file from trash. Now You need to use simple root to root and install proper recovery on your phone then you will be able to install custom rom .
Awesome! found the zip file in the trash like you said, transfered that over and it worked! thank you thank you thank you!
Okay Fellas I need help with the basics.
I have a Galaxy Note 3. I successfully rooted it using the guidance provided here by the members. I also put clockworkmod revoery on the phone.
I am attempting to use clockwork mod to download zip files from my computer onto my external SD card and then install the included programs onto my phone. Everything works with me using Samsung Kies to detect my phone on my computer. I downloaded the zip files and UNZIPPED them first. I then used Kies to transfer the unzipped files onto my phone. I then used Clockwork mod and hit install zip. Next I selected install from external SD card and I see the unzipped files in clockwork. But everytime I select the files Clockwork tells me there are no files available, yet it is showing me the files. Essentially I am getting a reading of no content on the unzipped files I am being shown inb Clockwork.
Maybe the mistake i am making is I am not supposed to be unzipping the files before uploading them to my phone. Should they stay as zipped files when I transfer them or am I right in unzipping them forst on the computer.
I have been struggling with trying to get Clockwork to install the files for two days. Maybe you guys can tell me what basic steps that I am missing
Thanks so much
