Alright guys/gals.My question here is this.Using unvevoked3 and not updating to the new OTA update is okay? I'm still having problems with sync not syncing? Thats cause i have not updated yet. Will my phone be alright without the update even though i want it..I cant seem to update it to my evo.Either no one helps or its not in plain English for some of us that dont have the experience rooting or unrooting.
What do you all think? Anyone in the same boat as me.? They say put the file on your sdcard root file.Where in the hell is that?
**** does happen and im in deep **** without the update.
Ok this should be easy. If u are unrevoked and u are full rooted running a custom Rom then just flash the update. There should be a post with the zip that u can flash in recovery to apply the update. If not then just wait for your custom Rom to be updated to the next version with will be surely base on the latest ota. Like u said it's def.ly not a big deal.
BUT:
If u are running stock or want to remain on a stock Rom just flash the rooted 2.2 base on the new OTA, Can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789913
Edit: came across this, should help you also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790394

I have that update on my computer already. Then they say to put in in your sdcard root.I don't know how to find that. I'm using revoked 3, stock Rom I'm sure. Clockwork mod is installed. Please help. Instructions does not help me much. How do I just flash it.

Ok if u have it on your SD then that's easy providing that u got clockwork mod or another custom recovery. Just boot your phone into recovery, I use quickbot. U can also use Rom manager to boot your phone into recovery and also flash a clockwork recovery . Once in recovery just go to flash update from zip, then select the zip(should be the one on your sd) confirm and then reboot. You're done.
Edit:
Putting it on the root of your sd simply means drag and drop it to the main folder on your sd card, where u see all the other files and folder. Just open up your sd card in a browser(double click removing disk from my computer) and also the folder on the computer where u have the file. Then drag and drop it on your sd card. Where u dropping the files is the root of ur sd, hope this helps.

Get to SD root - connect your EVO to your PC through USB and mount it through disk drive from the notification bar then drag your update file onto the SD card, i.e. on my windows laptop, root would be the window "Computer->Removable Disk (G: )
To flash - power off then hold vol down + power button to get into hboot and then select recovery. once there, select flash zip from sd card and select your update file. let it finish and you should be able to reboot into the updated rom.
*quick boot is an app from the market that allows you to easily reboot into recovery for rooted phones

Michael this is an invalid file name. U do not have to rename or alter any thing with the update file. The file is already a zip file so the extension is already a .zip file. Any file that is zip will always be for example 'filename.zip'. you adding a .zip to the file name will make the file unacceptable as there is no .zip.zip file. Just leave the original file you downloaded as is. Once in recovery you can then follow the same steps you mentioned. Go to choose zip from sd card,u will see the zip file on the sd,select it then confirm and install. U should be fine if u follow these steps.

Just for the record... On Windows boxen, the default options for your filemanager,
is: Hide extensions for known filetypes
Translated:
If windows shows the correct icon for the file, it knows what type of file it is, and therefore will hide it's extension - in your case; .zip
Stupid, I know (Windows).
So, when you see the file "Update", and it shows an icon indicating that windows knows it's a .ZIP file. You will know that the filename is actually:
Update.zip - not just "Update" as you see in filemanager.
Bottom line; file has the correct icon in filemanager, it's extension hidden.
File has a generic icon, then file is unknown, and probably shows it's extension.

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!
I tried many Roms of CyanogenMod but when the download finished, i couldn't open or extract the zip file ( the archive is either unknown format or damaged, then when i put it into my sd card, recovery said :" Can't open e:/sdcard/...zip. Plz help
You shouldn't need to unzip the package, just download the cyanogenmod you want that's correct for your phone eg buzz and then place on the root if your sdcard. Then enter your recovery and choose that zip file to update but remember to nandroid backup first and to wipe your data + dalvik cache and factory reset the device for a clean install.

Choose install from zip, navigate to the folder with your cm7 in and select it. Make sure you do the 3 wipes first or you'll get a bootloop.

Check your internet connection, and verify the MD5 Sum of the ZIP file you downloaded. It looks like a broken download, looking at your original post.
I wanted to update to the latest version of xiaomi.eu, which is no longer for fastboot, but for recovery. At first internal storage had (0mb), I changed it to EXT4, but still the problem is no visibility/ability to install the latest ROM copied to the phone, what to do?
I download the rom with the phone, reboot with TWRP-3.6.2, install, zip archive anb install, after select system an reboot
I cant do antything in TWRP because TWRP doesnt see ROM copied on storage.. All tutorials say "just go into twrp and install the copied rom", I don't see the copied ROM!
You have to look in a sub folder it will no show at root directory can't remember off hand might be data or meta something like that, after the OTA updater works great
Useing the Skkk latest TWRP by default it was in Chinese
