I’m trying to root my evo, I got to the part were I need to do a recovery with amon ra. The file I have for this is an .img. The instructions call for a file that I unzip and extract to my sd card but I cant find it. Is there a way to use the .img file or can I download a file somewhere to complete my root. Thanks in advance.

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.
Hi! all. i'm trying to root my desire which has a Bootrom of 0.80. i went to modaco website & downloaded the file to start rooting. but upon reading the instructions i couldn't understand the 3rd point below. after unziping the file, i can't find any file call 'update.zip'. Would appreciate help.
•Make your microSD card into a goldcard by following these instructions (it's a good idea to back up the contents of your card first!).
•Unzip the file you downloaded to a directory, then open a command prompt / terminal window at that directory.
•Copy the 'update.zip' file to your microSD. Do NOT rename it.

Here's fake flash, properly named update.zip, so it doesn't confuse you
Just put it in root folder of your goldcard and do it

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
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
No need to unzip
