I just got a new app from work in a .exe format.
can i put in a zip and flash it or do i have to change it to a apk file
I tried to put the exe file on my sd card and use astro to install it put it won't
I also tried to find a app to change exe to an apk with no luck
Thanks for any help!!!
.exe are applications designed to run on windows. Renaming the file wont change anything. It has to be an app written in Android code or it wont work. DO NOT flash unknown/unsigned files in recovery (I dont think it will let you) but if you manage to it can brick your phone.
DO NOT flash unknown/unsigned files in recovery
Thank you god for that answer!!!!!!!

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

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!
Recently I started downloading music in zip files to my phone for storage. But when I try to unzip them, I get errors. I tried on 4 did file managers including root manager. Do I need s-off todo this?

Mount USB and unzip it. Nice and quick. Root explorer does it and most other archiving apps do it. Maybe the archive is corrupt?
I don't think so. Root manager actually lets me open the file and listen to the songs with the inapps player but if I try and extract, I get either a error or a completed msg but I check the file and it's empty

I use the good old Astro and it always unzips the files for me. Also tried AndroZip, worked, too.
No idea then. A zip file is just an archive for file(s) so you should be able to extract them just fine. Otherwise it is deemed corrupted. I guess you could test the archive and see if there are any errors with it and maybe if there is, that might help you a little more. You can test the archives out using WinRar or maybe some app.
Try Estrong file explorer.
Else download dropbox and transfer the files to your phone after you unzipped them on your computer.
BTW unzipping should not even require a rooted phone.
thx 4 the info all. im going to reflash cyanogen 7. just a question thou. is cyanogen 7 the best of the best as far as roms r concerned?
Maybe there's something wrong with the zip file or the ROM. No need to S-OFF in order to extract archive files
i want a stock rom to develop using kitchen but i tried extracting it from the ruu and that didnt work could someone help link or upload somewhere if you have it ?
You want a rom.zip file from RUU executable?
Run RUU in windows, and wait until creator show up. Dont turn off it, just move from visible area and try to find rom.zip file into Temp folder on your system drive (C), and you will find it.
Then copy in safe place na rename to proper name visible through recovery, and that all.
Hello,
thats my first Post here and my English is not so good.
I downloaded the New Black Notes Hybrid but when i want to extract both files with winrar or 7zip it says Hybrid2.part1.rar
crc false at system.ext4.tar.Unexpected end of archive.
I downloaded the both files for a 2 times cause i thought it's about bed download.
What are you think?
I'm already running Kezra's Value Pack.Should i back to stock before i restore this with cwm5?
Thanks a lot.
With the two files you downloaded, put two of them into a new folder. Then open winrar and find the folder you put the two downloaded files into. Now just extract part1.rar and it will automatically extract part2 for you as well. Then copy the backup to your phone and use CWM to restore the backup
Just the same thing.
Hello snwman
it was my Kaspersky internet security.
He clear some data from rar archive.
i disabled him and downloaded again
no problem.
everything right.
thanks
Using Avast, i had the problem that in every custom rom i downloaded probably a root- or systemfile caused a virus-alert and the av software tried to manipulate the folder extracting the potentially infected file out of the zipped container.
Hi,maybe i have the same problem..I'm trying to install the black notes Rom second generation,I've download both 2 parts; and extract the first one in my sdcard with 7zip,but when i try to extract the second part the computer say: error damaged file.. Why?

Hello,
disable first your internet security or antivirus program or whatever,
then download both files AGAIN and put into new folder.
then mark and unzip only the part1.rar it would be unzip both files.
then put into cwm/backup folder and restore after fullwipe.
let me know if does work.
hi,thanks now it works
