[Solved] Sorry, but flashing does not work..the zip file was corrupt

Hi 2 all!
Before somebody claims - I read and searched the threads but I was not able to flash a new rom.
My envoirment:
Win 7 X86
HTC Desire (rooted)
8 GB Memory Card (I copied the new rom in the root directory and named it update.zip)
I tried rom manager (the non-paid version):
I don't know which menu (after my device rebooted) should I take?
applying sdcard update.zip?? (I selected this, bus no new rom..)
I also tried the fake flash method:
Error Message: signature verification failed.
Now, please can anyone tell me how to flash to a new rom?
br,
Chris
Edit: Solved: The zip file was corrupt

Is your handset branded? What rom are you trying to flash. Have you rooted your device? Because it needs to be rooted to flash 99% of the roms available here.

..no, its not branded; its also rooted.

So what rom are you trying to flash? You should be able to flash one if your handset is rooted.
If you use fake flash don't rename it but put it on your sd card root. Then in the menu go to flash zip from sd then choose the rom. Just before you flash make sure to select wipe data, cache etc.

why did u rename the rom?...once in the custom recovery it should not matter what the rom is called...from the menu u just select flash zip from SD then select the rom from the list

...somewhere I read to rename the rom the update.zip.
Now I am following this link: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire/
I am trying the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705606
Will whipe date/whipe cache clear my memory card?
Will any other action clear my memory card?
br,
Chris

Ok so that rom should be fine. Do not rename it.
Wiping cache/data etc will only wipe data form the handset. All your memory card will be still intact. Only repartitioning the card will wipe it so back up any data first if you ever plan on doing that.

If the error is signature verification failed, re-sign the ROM.

[SOLVED] No files on sdcard - cyanogen mod 7

hi
I just flashed to cyanogenmod7.
Deciding that I want another ROM instead, I downloaded leedroid and copied it to my sdcard.
Going into recovery, I chose
apply zip from sdcard'.. but recovery tells me that there are no files on the card.
I booted up, went to filemanager, and my files were there no problem.
I tried clicking the new ROM and it recognized it as a ROM and asked my to reboot into recovery to continue..
I did, and got the same result. recovery won't recognize the card? or at least it won't recognize any files or folders??
What could be the cause? and more importantly, what can I do to fix this?

If you apply a zip from sdcard it must be named update.zip
You can also choose "Install zip from sd" and manually search it

hi
yes, I realise that, but since it cannot find any files on the sdcard, I cannot do any flashing nor any updating.
But I did manage to fix this by using an sdcard formatter on the PC.

No issues.
Here's my install process to the letter:
1/ Backup all my apps using Titanium backup Pro
2/ Make a Nandroid backup
3/ Using ES File Explorer backup all apps to SD card
4/ Place MTD Partition files on SD card along with PG76IMG.zip extracted from RUU file
5/ Reboot to recovery and run recovery portion of MTD partitioning scripts with MTD set to 260 35
Clear Data, Cache, and System
6/ Reboot to recovery
7/ Run boot portion of recovery script
8/ Power down
9/ Run PG76IMG.zip at hboot and update everything
10/ Power down
11/ Remove PG76IMG.zip from SD card and replace it with Alquez's PG76IMG.zip that is clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6
12/ Place root.zip from the rooting section of general on on the SD card
Boot to hboot using power and down volume
12/ Run recovery update
13/ Power down
14/ Reboot to Hboot again and choose recovery
15/ Install zip from SD card and choose root.zip
16/ Reboot into OS and voila. Rooted.
17/ Download and install Rom Manager
18/ Updated Recovery to 5.0.2.8 using ROM manager
19/ Do what you want.
20/ Have fun doing it.
Extracting PG76.img from the RUU:
1/ Clear your user temp directory in windows
2/ Run the RUU update and leave it at the first prompt
3/ Locate rom.zip in your user temp directory
4/ Copy it out to your desktop, etc.
5/ Cancel out of the RUU update.
6/ Delete files from user temp directory
7/ rename rom.zip to PG76IMG.zip and place in root of SD card
8/ Flash that mofo.

Could someone please help me up and upload the .zip file so that I can flash it through HBOOT?

Thanks I got root and after that I flashed the stock recovery again, so now I have stock recovery and I have root too

Hi there, I have a question. Since I have upgraded both RUU from your post is there a way we can flash latest firmware 2.26 and not lose s-off?
++++++++++++++++++++
All I did is check software update it download about 25mb. Then I click apply from the menu that come after download complete. It took several restart and upgrade my system flawlessly. I had Hboot-1.09.0099 after that. I flashed hboot 1.08.0000 from the previous rom u posted.
I think this two post should be combined.
I started with hboot 0.90.0000 that is the most important thing. hboot 0.90.000o is not compatible to many RUU. I bricked my phone twice now. LOL anyways

Guide & Mod:Telcast G18 mini 3G tablet [CWM Recovery][Stock Firmware][Partition Data]

Guide & Mod : Telcast G18 mini 3G tablet [CWM Recovery][Stock Firmware][Partition Data]
Hello,
I got myself a nice 7.9 inch Android 4.2.2 Tablet [16Gb].
This is a new tablet so no rom/mod information about it so I decided to put few things together.
I messed up my Modem/Radio trying to make CMW mod recovery but got lucky and found a Chinese forum with a stock rom.
That gave me confidence to mod like hell till I got myself a working CWM Recovery
Youtube Video of tablet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybz6yymWM7I&feature=c4-overview&list=UUUAnm9j-J2x3_nDDDxO2nlQ
Warning! use this guide at your own risk.
Root Guide:
Just download Framaroot apk and run it! It will ask you to reboot and that’s it...You are Rooted!.
CWM Mod Recovery Guide:
Download the G18mini Recovery and flash with MobileUncle.apk
Place the .img in the root of SD then launch the app and click update recovery. Tablet will then reboot into CWM . Do a full nandroid back up!! You will need it in the future or if you want to partition.
Or Flash with SP Flash tool (can find easily on XDA and included in full firmware DL)
Partition /data for more storage Guide:
This tablet only has 1GB for apps which is lame!
Make sure you have Nandroid Backup before doing this and copy the backup to external SD (required)!!! or use Rom manager to backup to external SD!
Install meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-8gb-16gb-en APK
Run it and click the 4GB and follow the instructions and reboot into recovery.
Wipe/reset then do an Nandroid restore from external SD
It will show failed to restore SDCARD but don’t worry, boot into the tablet and format/erase internal (Flash storage)
Turn off the tablet then hold volume up and power to boot recovery. Do a full nandroid restore again from external SD…DONE!
You will now have 3.9GB for apps and 9.7GB internal storage!
Restore to Factory:
Stock Firmware DL has a PDF in chinese but screenshots should be enough to restore the tablet top factory stock (it uses SP Flash)

messed up but found the original firmware
Hello guys, I'm new at breaking into Android devices, and it seems I messed up when trying to follow this Guide and Mod.
Somehow I didn't do this step:
-----------
CWM Mod Recovery Guide:
Download the G18mini Recovery and flash with MobileUncle.apk
Place the .img in the root of SD then launch the app and click update recovery. Tablet will then reboot into CWM . Do a full nandroid back up!! You will need it in the future or if you want to partition.
Or Flash with SP Flash tool (can find easily on XDA and included in full firmware DL)
-------------
After root i performed the partition. And whiped data. So it seems that all data is erased, I manage to come to the recovery menu. When i afterwards manually copied the G18mini Recovery.img file to the root of my sd-card, and tried to boot find the update, it says no SD card can be found...
one option it gave was to adb sideload data into the tablet. Tried that, but did not know what data i should sideload into it. It seems it need a file.zip.
Somebody asked for the firmware, i found the original firmware from modecom dot eu -> support -> download -> tablets
I tried also to istall that, but did not succeed. It seems the drivers won't load into my windows 8.1 computer.
Any suggestion how to proceed? Can i get the original firmware installed by using Android SDK Manager? I hope I'll be able to save the tablet...

Did you solve it?

Me cannot restore from sdcard either. Does it mean that one should erase sdcard while in recovery mode? I did that, but the externat sd card won't still work.
