I have searched on google and through each droid forum site I have been sent to from google trying to fix the problem that i am having. I am currently trying to intall Incredible re imaginedv2.3 on my HTC Incredible. I have tried installing through both ROM manager and through the actual recovery. When I go through ROM manager it fails on the install reboots my phone and freezes at the HTC logo. The same thing happens with the actual recovery. Fails on install asks for the update and it cant find the update.zip file. It then freezes on reboot. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
Sounds like a bad\corrupt download. Check your copy's MD5 with the ROM developers and make sure its not corrupt. Try downloading it again or download another ROM and try that.

its called incredibly reengineered actually lol
If youre trying it through revovery you need to "choose zip from sdcard" then scroll to downloads,using the update.zip is for something else

I have the zip on the root of my SD card. When ever I choose it it asks about the update.zip should I just hit no and ignore that step. I'm using the latest version of the clockworkmod. Version 3.0.5

Reengineered prefers. 92 HBOOT fwiw, but it will boot with an older version. That info is buried in the IncReEngineered thread. Plus, in recovery, you do NOT choose the option that says "apply update.zip", rather, you want the selection that lets you choose the zip file you want to apply.

i tired what you said and it just looped through the same steps. it repeatedly asks for the update.zip. i found something through google that said i should rename the ROM as update.zip and still no luck.
You need to download/flash 2.3.1 with cwm3.

Still no luck. I even tried another ROM and get the same problem has anyone else have this problem?

I dont know if this will help at all but i tried to install the ROM again last night and it said at the end of the error (status 7). Im currently looking it up but would you guys know anything about it?
Are you sure your checking apply zip from SD card and not update.zip. if you have a recovery image you should restore it and flash the rom thru rom manager

^ that, and if not, flash back to CWM 2.5.1.2, try installing then. I had to do that when I installed that rom. I know he updated it to work with 3.0, but try anyway. If it works you just just upgrade to 3.0 after flashing the rom.
Ok I will try that and post back with the results

Still no luck I still get the status 7 error, and it aborts the install. I even downgraded to 2.5.1.2 and it still fails. I am starting to think that i should stay with the one that I am running for a while before i try it again.
I did some quick searching for status 7 and found alot of solutions. Not sure which direction to point you but some common themes were hboot, radio, and permission (make sure read write).... with a specific error u should be able to figure this out. Also a major problem lies with all zips in their scripting since CW recovery update(cwr3 uses edify). Incredibly reengineered zip may need to be updated to be compatible but u think it'd be more common problem if this was the case.
Ok. I will look into all of them and see witch one works. Thank you for all the help.

You sure you have s-off? Check this out.....also make sure SD formatted fat32. I've seen it recommended to wipe twice without leaving recovery(worked for some)....if you try all you can and are still stuck pm koush. He'll set you straight
Is the SD card formatted as FAT32?
Does the SD card have ample free space?
Is the radio (baseband) version on your device at least 2.x?

I reformatted my sd card to FAT32 and it fixed the error. the only thing that i ran into this time is that it failed copying over at a certain line is that because i need more space on my sd card?
I'm looking to install Midnight ROM v4.0.
I flashed my phone using Odin and followed the instructions in this thread:

Step 2. On your computer launch the included odin.exe and select the included EB13-ext4.pit and under PDA select the included EB13-Extended-3.tar
Step 3. Plug in the usb cable.(if it's done right you should see a yellow Com device.)

That's it. You've got EB13 Release and clockwork preinstalled, rooted, and ready to use.To get into Clockwork, hold Volume Down Camera and Power to flash your own rom.

I have Midnight ROM v4.0 on my sd card and was wondering if all I have to do now is boot into CW3 and flash the rom. I've tried installing roms before and failing so I'm asking for help now.
Thanks in advance.
You got the hard part done.
Turn off device
3finger into CM3...toggle down to install zip from sd.. push camera button for yes then choose zip from sd...push camera button for yes select midnight rom push camera button for yes and install. Takes along time to install and boot the first time dont freak and make sure you read midnights install instructions
If you want the full rom, be sure to install the second .zip in the midNIGHT extras folder on your sd card.

Oh really. good to know. I also sere there is a v4.1. Do I have to install that as well?
yes you need to flash 4.1 after 4.0 and also flash files you want from midnight extras folder. Maybe you can try the syndicate rom frozen loaded edition for your first rom its a one shot flash, very simple.
I will have to check out out. From what I've read and seen midnight rom is the one I want to use though.
Thanks for all the help !

midNight is totally worth an extra few zip flashes!!
So I flashed both 4.0 and 4.1 and now I'm getting an error that is force closing everything. What now?
Edit:
I believe this is the part where I go and flash in the extras to get stuff working. am I right?
Right; that has all the google apps that will stop those issues

Huzzah! Midnight ROM up and running perfectly how I want it to. I realize now that I installed it right two times before just didn't realize that I needed to go into the extras and install things from there. DUR!

Hmmm. So I got a phone call today from my step grandparents today and ignored it. Then for some reason my phone restarted itself 2 or 3 times. Did I forget to install something?
Possibly, what did you install from the extras folder? I just do the standard edition update and delete what I don't want. That will give you everything but sprint bloat.

I didn't install much. I ended up Flashing the new Syndicate ROM and am loving it as well. Midnight ROM looks way better but Syndicate's Frozen ROM makes my phone feel way quicker. I'm torn as to which one I want to use.
Use what you feel is best. I have been using the midnight roms for a while and haven't had any issues.

Can some one post a thread on how to install custom themes and splash screens? I've been searching like crazy , I figured out how to push bootanimations which is great just don't know how to flash custom themes and splash screens. P.s I just need the links ..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
You flash themes through recovery just like you would a rom - just make sure it's compatible with your phone and rom. Some roms have theming built in so you don't have to flash, ie CM7 and MIUI.
I've never used a splash screen before, but I'm sure installation instructions would be in the thread for the splashscreen.
Or Google.

I'm running cm7 latest build and I tried flashing darkhorse theme I put zip in root of SD rebooted to recovery wiped cache and dalvic, then flashed zip ..it just loaded back to recovery and said choose update zip? I'm lost???
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
What Recovery are you using? After it flashes it should send you back to the choose zip screen. Are you sure it's a flashable zip and not an apk for the Theme Chooser that was zipped?

darkhorse is a flashable theme. i think you're doing everything rigt, just back out to the main menu and reboot then.
check the link in my sig for the splash screening. it's a tutorial i made that lets you install any splash using either a manual ruu push or a pc36img.zip ruu. i'll update it soon to include recovery flashing, using edify scripts. just realized ur posting from xda app. lemmie give you the link... edit: here ya go http://tinyurl.com/47xqb4k
My evo cannot install apk's and whenever i boot up a rom i downloaded from my computer it randomly reboots. The rom's I tried were Alter rom and elite series resurected. The only roms i got to work were evo classic and dark light. Please help me.
Some backstory. It all started when i flashed Evo classic last night and I did not have the Google Play Store. I decided to get an APK. What I did was got an APK from a thread on XDA I tried to install it through the Downloads app but it froze up my phone and just rebooted. I tried this several other times with no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Some roms you have to flash google proprietary files.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
You did not say that you made a nandroid back up of your phone, have you? If not, you just experienced why you should start.
What recovery are you using? Have you tried wiping dalvik and cache to see if that helps?
More details on what you did to get yourself in this situation would be helpful.

I did that. For dark light i used ICS Gapps. And when I rebooted there was no play store. Also for Classic sense I went through setup, and there was no playstore.
I am thinking this could be a Sd card issue.
You can't flash ICS on anything below 4.0. It won't work
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I tried sense 1.0 and I had a Android backup of dark light I tried to go back to that but no market so I used am on ra to fix permissions then I installed gaaps and there was a market. But when I install an app or apk my phone reboots.
If it were me, I'd:
1) Backup the files on SD
2) In Recovery: Reformat/re-partition SD
3) Copy a ROM .zip to SD
4) In Recovery: Flash ROM
5) In Recovery: Save recovery.log to SD
6) Post recovery.log here
If you do this with AlterROM, you'll need to use the Save Log option at the end of the installer.

Thanks but I think I found out the problem what I did was install a rom ran gaaps went into recovery fixed permissions took out my SD card booted up the phone downloaded something from the market put my SD back in and everything worked. Also I tried AlterRom but when I got done with aroma and booted it up there was no launcher. So what I am thinking is that its an SD card issue. And other help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading my tome of knoledge . Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys, I've been trying to flash the new Hyperdrive RLS11 on my AT&T Galaxy s3 and no matter what I do, my phone says cant open and aborts the installation. I can never get the Aroma installer to start. I do factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, and format system, but it fails every time. Any ideas?
Could be a bad download. You could try grabbing it again. Also, is your recovery up to date?

I downloaded it from 3 different of his mirrors none of which worked. Im of the latest version of Clockwork mod. could it be the new update from 6.0.3 to 6.0.3.1 on clockwork? or should i use something other than clockwork
you should use twrp.. check the md5 of your download after you download it for accuracy. try that.. if it doesnt work u can always flash cwm again
Flash in twrp. Get twrp by downloading goo manager app and selecting install open recovery
Also are you grtiing a status 7 error?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
For whatever reasons, sometimes when flashing in cwm or twrp, you will have issues and installing the other custom recovery will allow you to flash the desired ROM. you obviously then have the option to return to the custom recovery you were previously running either because you prefer it or all your backups were made in it.
Alright thanks ill try it tonight, hopefully it works

Similar problem
Hey guys
I've gone through all the steps as instructed, but can't install HD RSL15 successfully. I downloaded the installation file from a mac which then automatically unzips the folder. Zipped it back up with 7zip and threw it on the phone. I went through all the prescribed steps using TWRP 2.6 and AndroidUnite's video on youtube (How To Install TWRP Recovery And Flash Custom ROM) as example . This is the 2nd time Ive downloaded the file and I switched over from CWM based on this thread's recommendations.
When it comes to installing the ROM the window ends up looking like this:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Error flashing zip...
Updating partition files...
FAILED
Have I done something wrong during the previous steps (flashing, installing recovery) or does it have something to do with the method of zipping the files (tried fastest and store as compression options, doing store makes the file unreadable by the phone during recovery mode)? Please help
