I put mine in a file I created called UOT zips. Just put it somewhere you can find it when you go to recovery. When in recovery, do the following:
Wipe dalvik cache(and cache if you want)
Choose install zip from sd card
Select zip from sd card (your uot zip)
Navigate to where you copied your UOT zip and choose it
Confirm and it will install
Reboot

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
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

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.

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.

Hi all
Just got Droidzone's Gingerburst ROM and it's not listed in the UOT Kitchen, so I used the upload settings only to get a bootloop. I read Fredalf's other way of doing it through Root Explorer but the instructions weren't so clear.
Right now I have the zip file ready and waiting on my sd card. What shall i do next?
Please post the instructions and tell us, until which point you do not understand them. On this way it's much easier to help you.

i don't use this ROM, but have flashed many a UOT theme successfully without bootloop
1. did you upload all 3 relevant files: com.htc.resources.apk, SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk?
2. did you check the "Flashing folders for system files" in the file upload tab? look in your original ROM.zip to see which folders SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk are located in.
3. might not help, but sometimes suggested to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing, although i've done it successfully without
4. another long shot, but there may be some other option you've accidentally ticked inside the UOT kitchen itself which isn't compatible with your ROM, like the AOSP lockscreen, best to check again
the root explorer method requires S-OFF, though i've never done it this way. i guess u gotta extract the zip on your computer, copy the 3 files onto your SD card, then manually copy and overwrite them wherever they are located on the phone using Root explorer (e.g. into system/framework), then rebooting. it's basically the long way round what flashing the zip is supposed to do.
thanks for the replies.
yes i've followed the uot method of uploading all 3 correct files and i think i may have even done the wipes too. The result was the black screen with pink circle constantly looping.
I do have s off and i had gotten up to the extract part, although it wasn't explained what to extract and where.
Just extracted on computer and the com.htc.resources file isn't there although the other 2 are.

strange,
may be related to point number 2 in my previous post. open up your original ROM.zip on your PC, then search which folders framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk are located. look at the "Flashing folders for system files" in the UOT file upload tab, gives you the clues as to where they'll most likely be. probably system/framework and data/app(?) but varies from ROM to ROM.
put the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from the extracted kitchen zip onto your SD card (ignore the com.htc.resources file if it's not included) then copy them over to their respective locations using root explorer and overwrite (remember to mount read/write).
reboot - this is assuming you have your nandroid backup just in case
if it still doesnt work then might be number 4 of my previous post, or it's just beyond my knowledge...search the UOT thread if anyone with Gingerburst has got it working? must be possible...
again i've not done it this way myself, but don't see why it shouldnt work, await the wise MatDrOiD to confirm...

That didn't work, there must be some kind of glitch in the rom. Guess I'll just have to make do with horizontal battery for now. Thanks anyway.
Hi All,
I am using Sebs.. Runnymede AIO 6.1.1 INT2SD-S rom. I just wanted to change the icons and battery icon with %. I tried all the options there in UOT with /data/app_s, /system/app etc by uploading the files from the respective folders from my rom.
The zip downloaded from the UOT did nothing for me.
Please tel me how to do?
Thanks in Advance
you cook up all the changes you want then upload your systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and the appropriate themes/icons gets created. You then download the zip put it on your SD card go into recovery make a nandroid back up and install the zip from recovery.
