Noob question:
Is is normal that zip files have shorter file transfer time than the media files especially if you're transferring them to your phone?
I noticed this everytime I am transferring this zip file to my phone. The loading bar don't usually go 100 percent but the file was successfully transferred to my phone.

Sure....what exact files are you downloading? You should be able to tell when you're downloading them that the extension is ".cab"...as long as that's the case, just put the .cab file on your phone and click it to run from there.

in other words. Don't unpack the "cab" files on your computer or phone... just transfer the entire "cab" package to your sd card or phone. Use file explorer (on your phone) to navigate where you have saved the cab files. Select the cab file and the installation will begin
aaand this too just for the noobness haha.. if you've d/l'd a .cab to your pc and have winrar installed on it.. winrar will show the .cab's icon as that little set of books like a .rar file.. they're both archives, but the .cab doesn't need unpacking.. it's like a windows mobile version of a .exe for the pc.. just saying, i did that too at 1st.. a loong time ago.. haha
just copy and paste to your phone storage and you are all set
Hello, I've recently uninstalled and wiped my SD card of Android. Now I'm trying to install it from the latest (01/23) cab file and I keep getting an installation error when running it on my phone. I've also tried to extract the cab file manually on my computer with 7-Zip, but I get decompression errors. And when I unrar the .rar file I get a completely flattened directory structure.
What am I doing wrong here?
Delete all the Android files and folders from your SD card. This means the Android, andboot, and any other Android related folders that may have been created by apps and such.
Copy everything that's left off of your SD card onto your computer.
Format the card to FAT32.
Put all the stuff back onto your SD card.
Reinstall XDAndroid.
I've never had luck with the cab. I think it has something to do with the size, and how the device handles cabs. For me, it has been easier to download the rar file, extract that on the desktop, and then copy over the andboot directory to your sdcard.
I usually create a staging location on the hard drive before copying it to the device. Doing this allows you to customize the files/configs: edit the startup.txt file on the desktop, replace the original rootfs with F22's new file that allows for keyboard mappings, etc. Then when it's all finished, simply copy the directory to the sdcard.

I tried this and it didn't work. Got an error half way through the install.
For pohket's suggestion, I'm limited to Linux tools, and unrar extracts a flat directory structure for me, so there isn't like an `andboot` or other such directories, just every file, which I don't know how to organize.
I ended up using an old release from November 1, 2010. It's been the most stable release I've used so far. (and also the only release I had saved on my computer)

I have the feeling the latest cab file was not working too well. In the end I used the rar files as well and extracted those.
the cab doesn't work!!!

I had the same problem with that cab, I did everything: erase, format, copy, download - many times from different computers...but doesn't work at all. You should download the RAR file and uncompress into the fat32 - SD card. Worked at the first time.
ps: this FRX04 2.2.1 is quite slower than the FRX03!!!
Also, it halts everytime!!! (in my rhodium 210).
I'm using cyanogen 10.2 on my sgh-i317 and recently downloaded an album (320kbps/mp3) through utorrent. It downloaded it to my download folder on sdcard 0. I then moved the folder to my music folder on my external sd and listened to a few songs off of it. When I got up the next day, the music files were not there. So, I downloaded it again on my PC and then transferred it to the same folder on my external sd along with another album from my collection. Both albums do not show up on the sd, either through ES file explorer or Apollo. The only notification I got was in windows when I was transferring them. It said something along the lines of these files may not be compatible with your device do you still want to copy them. I selected 'do this for all current items' and then clicked proceed. All my previous music files give me no problem and I'm having a hard time getting to the bottom of what is causing this. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Yes I know where they're supposed to be. I'm saying the folders are empty. They are there and I've even played some of the tracks and then they just disappear.
DRM issue with the player?
Is this for every type of file or just these?
Can you see the files when you are connected to a PC?
On every other phone since 2000 years ago i ALWAYS could put in the rom zip file in download folder. And then start into recovery.
There i could find the download folder and point out any zip file to install.
But with this phone when i start into recover first it asks for password. Pressing cancel takes me further.
BUT...where are the folders one wonders!!!!. I can NOT find the download folder.
Entering sdcard folder only shows empty place.
I KNow that i have managed somehow...before .....to boot up into recovery and suddenly i can see all the ordinary folders where i have inserted the zip files. But i can not figure out what im doing different to have been able to see these folders. Can not point out the exact reason for not seeing it this time.
When phone is booted normaly. I choose filetransfer in windows and copy the files into the memory of the phone....in folder DOWNLOAD.
But as i said before...then when booting into recovery...this folder or any other folders that are seen under windows are not present at all.
What im a doing wrong? JUst want to place the rom file in a folder to be able to reflash the phone.
Sorry
My son protected the boot sequence with password. When removed it....i could see all the folders again.

not so sure but seems that your data its corrupted.
The data is not corrupted because i can upload the pictures to Facebook for example, or as i said, i can send them by mail, i can get my data by different ways, but i cant get them by USB
