Can someone please help I've been looking everywhere and I can't find the right answer. I read a forum-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464791, and I just don't know at all how to "unpack" the tar.bz2 file?
You have to unpack it with all the subdirectories with something like 7Zip. Then copy it exactly with all subdirectories to your sd card.
I know that , but how do you unpack it? (I'm really new to all of this)

I mentioned the app called 7zip. Install it on your computer.
Im aware of 7zip and I have installed it, but i just don't get what unpacking is and how to unpack

Isn't the tar file supposed to become a zip file and then you flash that... so if you extract that tar file (which I did and) it still becomes a tar not zip.

Is it possible that anyone can make a video on this, because I have read a lot of places and people on those websites also don't know how to do this.

Your welcome you then need to copy the multiboot folder to the root of your sd card. Then "Flash" multiboot/EL30/boot_EL30.zip it should boot to EL30.
I did exactly what you said but I still got this file:samsung-epic-stock-el30-kexec-multiboot (1).tar- someone please help me.

The folder inside of the rar needs to be placed on the root of your sd card. not the rar.
It goes as /.madden10

yep. Make sure to unzip the rar as .madden10 so it creates a folder called .madden10
then put the folder on the sd card root.
Run the game.
is this the demo version or a full copy?

the animations might be easy to fix by editing the screen size file in .madden10 to our screen size like 450x800 or somethin? i know right now its set at the droid 1's ratio which is like 480x854, but i cant find a file for the field .png or uniform .png for the players.. hmm
Black field
I have a black field and ghost players. Is there an updated version?
link to folder data not working. can anyone repost ?
Bump still looking for the folder data for this original link gving 404 error. can anyone provide this ?
Have the apk but says need to download data and then just sits there.
When i download the .Apk file it shows up on my desktop as a .Zip. If i place it on my sdcard Astro just wants to open it instead of installing it.
Any ideas on what im doing wrong???
Thank you
unzip it first on your desktop, the apk is located in the zip. and then move the apk

Hm, which version? It should just be an apk which you can download/install via phone. Or download it via desktop and move it to the phone. Perhaps your browser is doing something wrong!?

Its version LMT v0.9 here from the Xda site.
Maybe im suppost to flash it in cwm.....
If i extract it to my desktop the files that show up are as follows-
res.rar
Androidmanifest.rar
classes.dex
resources.rar
META-INF.rar
Lib.rar
No apk in there. I sure i just dont know what im doing. Guess i need i step by step guide for beginers..lol

Please don't install it via cwm! . An apk is nothing more than a normal zip file with a special folder structure/contained files (you already posted the contained files ). So perhaps your browser tried to find the "best" extension and named it *.zip. Just rename it to *.apk again, push it to your phone and try to install it again. Then it should work...

You were right. Thank you very much.
Guess windows was adding the .zip to the end of it after i renamed it .apk..lol Didnt notice that until i took a look at the file in Root Explorer and it was Lmt_v0.9.apk.zip. Just renamed it again to Lmt_v0.9.apk. Astro installed it just fine now...
Thanks again

What are you talking about? The files don't come in *.bin format, they come in .qmg format
I would upload it for you, but idk what package it was that I froze and broke Dropbox...
Just use winzip, 7zip or jzip and open the stock ROM package, Navigate to system\media and extract your .qmg files you need.

FTF files are regular ZIP files. Open it with 7-Zip/WinRAR and you'll find some .sin files inside (.sin is a proprietary format used by Sony). Some of these .sin files (like system.sin) can be decrypted by Flashtool by going to Tools => Sin Editor => Extract data. This will leave you with an .ext4 file (like system.ext4). This file can be mounted and edited directly if you're on Linux or you can view and extract its contents by using ext2explore or another similar tool on Windows...

If you look closer at the log...
you are missing the update-binary in the META-INF folder..
You can use my template and try again, or upload the .zip you are trying to flash so I can take a peek.
