Things Needed:

-File you want to add to your phone.

-Base.zip

-7-zip

-Notepad++ OR linux text editor

Hello,

Newbs....this is the guide for making a flashable zip so that you can add or replace files to your phones(if you know what I mean).A few days ago I was faced with the challenge of making a guide for flashable zips.There were a few guides but most of them didnt work with me..So I decided to create my own!:)

Base.zip download link:http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xkxpqd1en6faeg3

STEPS:

Directory Paths::silly:

(1) Download and place the Base.zip anywhere on your desktop;

(2) Right click on the file and choose: "7-Zip / Open archive".not extract just open it.Be careful:cowboy:

You should see two folders - META-INF and system.

Lets start with system folder.Double click it.In there you would put all the files you want to add or replace to your system.for eg.you want to add boot animation then you have to create sub folders within system folder.bootanimation.zip goes into media>system path.add files to their respective paths.

I hope you get the fundamentals...even i am not a pro in this....:laugh:

/system/app - all the apps you want to add

/system/framework/ - framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, android.policy.jar

/system/etc - vold.fstab, PowerOn.wav(this is the bootanimation sound)

/system/media - bootanimation.zip (custom Roms only)

/system/lib - libraries (_ _ _ _*.so)

The other file in the zip which is META.INF should be left unchanged as it is....

Voila...you dont even know it but you have made your first flashable zip....and boy this is the basics....:silly:

NOTE:This Guide doesnt make you a full fledged developer......:crying:

WHY?

The World of developing is a lot more complicated.....:p

Note from OP:

Haters shall always hate.If you hated this thread avoid it do not start spamming,flaming and offtopic....simply stay away from this thread!:pPress thanks If I helped you and lastly I am ready to answer all your questions:angel: no matter how absurd they are.No offence though.If you need I will simplify the process with screenshots....

Good guide

Although there is an easier method I know, but still nice one : thumb up:
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
Thanks Exondev , just a quick question .

You call it a cwm flashable zip , but I assume this is just fine for twrp too ?

all the best

[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Hmm There are easier ways to create a zip, it takes me around a minute for me. It is all in the META-INF that is what drives to install in a flashable ZIP, if that is wrong it will not work and result in an error.

Thanks for the guide though.
[HTC Desire C] TearRoar:
First, thank you for explaining this! You are awesome for it!!!

Second, Your punctuation is horrible, my only request is to fix it as I have. Meaning, put spaces after periods or your sentences will seem like file names instead of the start and stop of your sentences.

Thanks again because this helps a lot and please keep this advice in mind when making new posts as I look forward to seeing you post again for dev noobs who are just like me!!!

Thank you for your help and understanding that this lack of proper punctuation can (and will) confuse super noobs! Lololol
[HTC Desire C] ExonakiDev:
[MENTION=4906350]whoamigriffiths[/MENTION]:it should work for twrp as well...all the best try it :)

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SnakeGS:
Hello

I have a little big problem with my Gio. Yesterday, accidentally i tripped over the USB cord, that was connected to teh PC and the phone, and i think e may have busted the USB port on the phone. Now it doesn't recognize the phone (it says "USB device not recognized"). I've tried installing a number of drivers, and it simply refuses to connect. Also i think it's not charging properly.

The problem is, the waranty is void without the stock rom, but to flash the stock rom i need odin, and odin is only by usb...

My question here is, can't this be done with the recovery menu, i mean, backup the stock rom from another gio, and then use that backup on my phone?

Thanks

EDIT: SOLVED

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DevWithCookies:
Well, i think it's possible to go back to stock with flashable zips, look around on the forums abit you should find some.

Also make sure you go back to stock recovery (somehow) and unroot.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SnakeGS:
The recovery i know i can flash, because i did it once, the only big problem is really the firmware. i can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DevWithCookies:
Ya if u cant find a flashable one then look on the samsung firmware sites like sammobile.com and find a firmware with your baseband.

And with a bit of luck you may find someone wanting to help you and turn it into a flashable zip. (I would do it but i have no idea how to even start on that)

You could do it yourself but 1 mistake and your pphone is hardbricked, and not booting + a broken plug will look quite suspicious at the service centre.

Good luck

could someone please help me find a stock rom for my HTC ONE S as i deleted my os im running TWRP v2.5.0.0 i can boot into recovery just not the system os thanks and if you do find one could you please tell me how to install it as my previous experiences are terrifying
[HTC One S] NQNH:
if you are unbranded take this!

http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/securekey.php?file=Ville/RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe

flash the stock recovery to your phone and relock your bootloader to install the ruu.

stock recovery:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/btmsslfgbwegu2k/ville_recovery_signed.img

I recommend you to s-off your device, it makes everything easier for you.

I also recommend you to do a factory reset after flashing the ruu.

so:

1. flash stock recovery

2. relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)

3. run the ruu

4. factory reset

5. be happy to have the stock rom back
[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
thanks

what do you mean be unbranded ?

and is it better to just install a custom rom and if i relock the bootloader can i just unlock it later
[HTC One S] NQNH:
unbranded = you can use every carrier

branded = you can only use e.g. vodafone

it depends on your needs which custom rom you want to use.

if you only want a stable phone the stock rom should be enough.

trickdroid and viper one s are good too.

if you like to experiment a little and can life with bugs cm 10.1 and the other aosp (pure android) based roms should be good too.

and there is a thanks button for giving me a thanks :) hope I could help you

and yes if you are relocked you can unlock again, just follow the same steps again (flash unlock.bin etc.)

ruu only will run if the bootloader is unlocked (if you have s-off it doesnt matter)
[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
im branded so what do i do i locked to three UK
[HTC One S] rootrider:
Then you usually do a search on google, entering 'ville hboot 2.13' an you'll find this thread.

After reading that you follow this link: click me
[HTC One S] NQNH:
uhm... as far as I know we only got the branding free JB ruu.

the other will not work because you alreade have the new hboot.

I think the best would be to follow the S-off guide and change your CID to a brandingfree one (HTC__001)

this also has the advantage that you will get updates sooner than the branded one and you can use every sim now.

if you follow the guide carefully and step by step it shouldnt be that difficult

the s-off procedure itself only takes ~5-10min

[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
gj

btw my bootloader is locked is that a problem
[HTC One S] NQNH:
unlock it again ;)
[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
its to complicated for me i probably going to well and truly brick my phone is there any other easier noob friendly ways ?
[HTC One S] NQNH:
uhm... its difficlt because of your hboot.

give rootrides advice a try ;)

the s-off procedure is a little bit tricky but not impossible and since you have s-off you wont regret it ;) it makes many things easier.

good luck, i have to go to bed
[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
Please could you help me find it ?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I have HBOOT 2.13 ( T-Mobile UK branded) and was able to S-OFF the phone without any issues. You can search for 3 UK branded RUUs on http://androidfiles.org/ruu. If the RUU is for a lower software version, S-OFF will allow you to downgrade.
[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
how do i know which ruu is mine and how do i downgrade with s off
[HTC One S] usaff22:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Ville

The 3 UK files are the RUUs which are labelled H3G.

Once you have S-OFF you can just run a lower RUU than your current software version and it will downgrade.

Without S-OFF it won't work though.
[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
how can i s off my phone if i cant even start it up ? i tried custom roms and stuff
[HTC One S] Zaman-The-Man:
i cant s off as i cant install super user . so i cant do SUPERCID . i have been told to flash stock revoery relock bootloader recovery and runn the ruu for my phone

so can i find one for my phone ? or can someone tell me how to flash a custom rom which works as it always fails to boot up ? and do i need to flash boot.img
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Yes, you need to fastboot the boot.img from the ROM zip you are flashing.

Also, don't use twrp 2.4 or higher. Use lower or cwm.

I am on the verge of picking up an Audiovox PPC5050 otherwise known as the HTC 'Falcon', due in stock at my local Bell Mobility dealer in a week or so -- and I've been scouring the net for definitive resources and opinions on the device, coming up rather dry and increasingly vexed at all the wild speculation, confusion and outright heresay, even in early reviews.

This forum looks like the definitive resource for all things XDA, and I am wondering if it will be a recognized model, provided enough owners start washing up here.

Visually, its closer to the HTC 'Wallaby' (XDA1) but specifications (see below) put it much closer to the 'Himalaya' (XDA2) -- so of course I'm imagining that XDA2-related posts will be more applicable to the Falcon?

I've got a handful of questions that I'm hoping the gurus here will be able to answer, but this is the toe in the water before I get flamed out for bringing a bastard child (XDA1.5 perhaps?) to the table.

Here's hoping the "Audiovox" logo :oops: scratches off cleanly...

Ok well let's get you back to stock. You have two options you can flash a nandroid back up via CWM clockworkmod or you can do a RUU. I recommend doing a the CWM way as it's easier and less prone to problems. So go to this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2207874 scroll down and find

Stock Nandroid Backups:

you want M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__001 / 1.28.401.7

We know this as your CID is cidnum: HTC__001 so you can only flash things for HTC__001. After you get that file flash clockworkmod recovery if you don't already. Then put that zip on SD card of your phone /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

go into restore and you are back to stock my friend.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommydee90:

Have you tried to boot the phone up normally. I know you think at this point it wont boot but I would bet it still will. If so you have your answer if not we get to have some ADB fun OH JOY :)

adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device

so the command would look like this using ADB

adb push nameofbackup.zip /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

ok so i dragged and dropped the zip file and then went to recovery and hit restore ans it says no files found
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
So close I can taste victory...

Ok so you need to put the file at sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/ or it will not be found. If you did that and still are not having sucess then go into CWM recovery again and create a new backup doesn't need to be everything just something. Now reboot the phone and connect it to your computer and start searching for where it put that backup you just made. Once you find it put the zip there. Then go back to CWM and restore and keep your fingers crossed maybe do a little good luck dance.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
I don't sorry. I have an idea it will take me ten minutes I need to download the nandroid backup. I think that the zip is not the backup and that you need to decompress the backup to the sdcard of your phone.

So um yeah. Just go ahead and extract the 2013-03-30.16.15.27.zip to your phone /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ it will make a folder called 2013-03-30.16.15.27 or something then go into recovery and go to restore and you will find it and hit restore. If you have a bootloop after go into recovery and then wipe system cache data and then do restore again. First boot can take 3 mins
