Hi,
Can any Telstra Desire users work out how to extract the bootanimation.zip? I want to port it to my Dell Streak because I'm using it on Telstra.
Thanks,
Kris

Krisbo, if you've got the Telstra ROM downloaded look for the bootanimation.zip file contained in it. You can open up the ROM with WinRAR search for it and simply extract the bootanimation.zip to a folder then check out the 'change your bootanimation' thread which gives instructions on how to use adb to send it to your device.
The only ROM I have is the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.26.841.2_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed.exe which I downloaded from HTC and that file is unable to be opened with WinRar
this thread http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/213279-ruu-zip-possible.html tells you how to extract the zip from the ruu. once you have the zip, you should be able to find the bootanimation.zip within it.
The ROM.zip within an RUU is .IMG files that can't be opened - you need to use an online kitchen to unpack the IMG files to get the bootanimation.zip
Not that easy really

agreed - but might be the only option for the OP if he/we can't track down a Telstra ROM as a zip.
ok i s-off'ed my phone when it was first relesed, have just updted to the newest version 1.80 and i cant for the life of me figure out how to put the n1 table on my phone i tried "You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC." <<<that but it says cid incorrect reboot or similar any help is much appreciated
also sorry if this has been asked before but i could not find the threads
That's sounds like you need a goldcard but I haven't tried the PB99IMG way.
Have you tried flashing it through fastboot?
I think that's the more reliable way to do it.

if im honest i cant get the sdk tools to fstboot flash it as it says i need java sdk when there already installed :S
Do you have a goldcard in your phone? If not, create one and try it again.
There's lots of posts about how to make a goldcard if you need them

you dont need the java sdk you need the jdk
eitherway fastboot doesnt require java to flash as its an executable from path using cmd so im wondering what you are doing to use it
is it the installer itself that is giving you an error?
have to tried the s-off all in one flasher?

hi i really need to convert the kernel( which is .img ) to .ftf so i can flash it please help
Hi all,
I am trying to develop a rom but I came along this difficulty: I can't find the sysyem.img. I tried to download a .zip file, only the folder named "system" came in it. And I tried it with a .exe and looked in "%TEMP%" no luck either...
Can anyone explain how I should extract the system.img?
Thanks in advance.
I guess your referring to a nandroid backup really. When you download a rom, it comes in a zip file which you can flash and has only a boot.img file (I think, can't remember off top of my head) so it can boot. It doesn't have anything else. You only see a system.img file when you do a nandroid backup. Everything that is in the system.img file is still the same as the system folder in a zip file.. more or less.
If you do have a system folder, it is possible to convert it using the HTC Kitchen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
That should help heaps with ROM development
Can you please explain to me how I can convert the system folder, I don't have a clue.
Convert it how? How do you want to convert the system folder? And why? Might help us out more you know.
On "Theunlockr" (My guide for making a rom) It says
"If you have a .zip file, you can unpack the system.img and boot.img"
I only have the boot.img and a system folder!
And it also says: "If you have a .exe, run it until the first screen and then go to run and type %TEMP% and a rom.zip should be here"
in both cases it is not the case.
So, can anyone help me out please?

Download a xxxxxxRUU.exe file and open it - DONT click continue
Then press Windows button + R
Enter: %temp%
Enter in search: rom
Open with WinRAR and unpack system.img from there
