Hi ^^ I a new with this tablet, i see a lot of roms! But y can't make a zip for flash in this model, how i can zign a update.zip? For apps, personal roms, etc? Please help me
I'm not sure what you are trying to flash or zip to flash but be careful. What recovery are you using first off. TWRP will flash pretty much any zip to your tablet and that is why you have to be very careful as the wrong zip will brick your device.
As far as flashing apks in recovery, I can't imagine why as all you need to do is download from Playstore or side load from a web site download, again be careful as Google checks their apks and downloads from other than Google Playstore can't always be trusted.
Most sips that you download that have apks in them, you need to extract the apk first and you will then be able to install the apk through your install manager. But if it is to be flashed for install there are other files included in the zip and they are there to trek your recovery what to do with the zip.
I hope this helped in sine way. Happy Flashing....

I tried to install setcpu zip file through clockwork mod latest recovery. Choose zip from sdcard-> download -setcpu 2.10.zip. but usually on my n1, after installing a zip file, it'll say installation succeeded or so, this time it just goes by really fast then go right back to the main menu of clockworkmod. What possibly is going wrong?

That is probably just a zip of the SetCPU apk. Extract the apk, copy it to your phone, and install with a file manager.
Oh yeah why didn't I think about that. Dang I'm such a noob lol. Thanks I'll try and report back.
I just downloaded this new rom and for some reason I am not able to download any .apk files like the android market.apk wont open, I also downloaded Astro file manager and It also will not open help!
Did you flash GApps?

Thanks guys, Its working no
Glad we figured it out.
Hello everybody!
Firstly I'd like to apologize for posting a few threads here recently! I'll be picking up this device in under 2 weeks when I get paid and I'll be tinkering with it as soon as possible so I'd rather know what I'm doing now instead of waiting till I get the device and then start asking questions and getting help so...
I'm not a complete noob when it comes to Android phones. I've flashed both of my devices and messed around with other things along with ROM Porting etc so the HTC One V shouldn't be too much of a challenge/task for me to mess about with!
Basically, when I get the device I'll be using the Toolkit to unlock bootloader and install a recovery then flash the PROVISION ROM as it seems to be the best for me.
So when I open the Toolkit do I simply follow the instructions to unlock the Bootloader followed by flashing a Recovery (Which one is recommended? I've used Clockworkmod on my past devices) then the next option is flashing a Kernel, which one do I choose or can I just skip this part and reboot my device into recovery and start flashing? And will I need to flash the Superuser app via the Toolkit or are the ROMs pre-rooted?
The ROM which I want to flash (Provision) mentions something about flashing the boot.img in the zip folder before flashing the ROM, how do I go about flashing that or can I just flash the ROM folder with the boot.img in it and that's fine?
Finally, does this device have decent internal memory or will I need to use A2SD scripts and move my Dalvik to SD?
Any nice idiot-proof tutorial/help would be great.
Thanks.
I recommend cwm I find it more easy to use. But u may always try the other. flash the kernel inside the rom.zip or any other one that is prescribed by the dev(u will have to flash kernel from fastboot,u can't skip it as the rom won't boot without this step)how to flash is described in the link given below .most Roms are pre-rooted if not flash the superSU.zip from recovery.
I have accidentally thanked you enjoy!

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it.
I've created a folder on my desktop with the Toolkit in along with the Provision rom zip, the gapps and the boot file. Do I basically follow the toolkit then fastboot the boot.img then reboot into recovery and flash the rom and gapps then reboot and everythings fine? Also should I keep the boot.img inside the zip or should I remove it now?
no harm if you keep it

Use toolkit which is best way to all this type.of stuff

I hope I'm not asking a question that has been answered else where that I could find. So basically I have an AT&T galaxy note 2 that I bought with Cleanrom on and has TWRP. I have been reading up and watching videos and want to flash a new rom. However I find roms I don't see the google apps with the rom file. From what i see you need to flash the rom and then flash the google apps onto it to have the play store.
For instance, I downloaded the stable release cm-10.2-20130924-NIGHTLY-t0lteatt.zip that came out today. I put it on my phone, and i see in twrp where i can install it. However on the cynogenmod website they don't have a separate file to download for google apps. Is this like a universal file or do all roms not need these files?
ALSO, I just want to make sure it is okay to just flash the rom in TWRP and I do not need to go about this another way.
You will need to flash gapps after you flash the ROM and you boot up first time. You'll need the most current gapps package for 4.3 ROMs. Check goo they have all the gapps listed.

Okay, glad I know that now. Thank you
Do you know if it is fine to flash cynogenmod right in TWRP? I read somewhere the fastboot should be used, but it wasn't the exact same situation i'm in so i wanted to clarify before i screw anything up

Fastboot is for HTC phone flashing. Samsung flashes in a custom recovery.
Okay, I guess i'm just confused when I see things like this.
To install this ROM you will need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery such as TWRP or ClockWorkMod installed
Copy the downloaded ProBAM to your phone.
boot in bootloader
select fastboot mod
flash boot.img via fastboot that is located in the .zip fastboot flash boot boot.img
Boot into your custom recovery
Back up your ROM
Enter custom recovery
Make full wipe "included "system"
Install the ROM
install GAPPS package
Reboot - the first boot can take up to 2 minutes
From what i can see, I can start up in recovery and just flash the .zip.. Don't see how I can get into fastboot mod in TWRP
Fastboot flash instruction should be ignored when using a Samsung device ...
Simply install the appropriate TWRP or CWM recovery to the device ....
From that point you can choose the compatible rom of your choice ...and flash the .zip from within the new recovery ...
No fancy HTC stuff here ...
Also ...it is highly recommended to thoroughly read the install instructions of each rom prior to flashing...as they often contain special instruction that can get missed ...
Welcome ....you have a great device that is very easy to flash when done properly ....g

Those were the instructions for my device, thats why I am so nervous. If it is really as easy as just deleting cache and factory data and stuff and installing it buy the .zip i might do it a whole lot more often!!

Those are the steps, buddy. Honestly, the hardest part of the process is holding all three buttons to boot into recovery.

oiii, i'm missing something. How do i do this part? Or were those just copied instructions and i can disregard? Sorry for making this more difficult than it is.
boot in bootloader
select fastboot mod
flash boot.img via fastboot that is located in the .zip fastboot flash boot boot.img
I would like to know where you are looking at the instructions --they are not for a samsung galaxy model...
I had it on my desktop I'm on my phone now. It was a thread for the probam ROM for note 2 att version. Cant seem to find it on my phone at the moment.
Fastboot is an HTC thing. Not Samsung. Double check your sources.

Okay looks like someone commented on the threading saying the instructions were wrong and they were changed. Now I feel much more confident. Will do tonight when I get home.
So im pretty new to this but here is what im trying to do. I just got an asus nexus 7 2013 and i want to install it in the dash of my car. I plan to use a usb dac (dragonfly) and i want to be able to hook a hard drive up to it for media storage. So far ive rooted and backed up the tablet using the wugfresh NRT, and i want to try out this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2389022 because it has usb charging and it can charge the device at the same time. But i have no idea how to install something like this and i couldnt find anything after i searched. Thanx.
That link isn't taking me anywhere...
Basically you just download the .zip file, copy it to your internal memory/sdcard (which is /sdcard), boot into your custom recovery, I would recommend wiping /cache and Dalvik (but some people say you don't have to), then selecting "Install" then browsing your /sdcard to find the zip, then Install...Reboot.
Alrite so i have no idea what you just told me too do, i tried to boot it up by holding the VOL down and power buttons. I went to custom recovery, but from there, i cant understand what commands im supposed to give the tablet that would enable it to bootup on the new rom. but i figured out that i can install a custom recovery with my wugfresh nexus root tool kit. But my problem is when i try to select the rom file that i want to use, It wont show an actual img file. When i go to the page to download the rom, all i get is an automatic download for a zip file. The NRT wont flash the zip file, and when i extract it, theres no image for the NRT to target. So how do i get this rom to be an IMG file or is there another way to do this. thanx.
You flash zips from the custom recovery on the phone. You flash imgs from fastboot on the computer.
If you have a custom recovery installed, you don't need a computer at all to flash a kernel (or a ROM). Just the custom recovery on your phone. Select the kernel zip and install it.
Oh boy. You sure you have a custom recovery?
My advice.
Install GooManager from Play Store.
Open and click on the three dots.
Install OpenRecovery Script.
Click the option for Reboot Recovery.
Install.
Navigate to the zip file.
Swipe to install.
You may want to wipe or whatever but up to you.
I mean this is the basis for everything and you don't know. I'd suggest doing more research before blasting away on the tablet and asking these types of questions. This is all very basic.
Good luck.

i went with goo.im and installed the elemental IX kernel. the only thing wierd that happened was that it wouldnt let me install it if i checked the verify zip box, so i just didnt verify it. everything else looks like it worked fine. thanx.
