I have been trying to make a rom with dsixda kitchen but it seems the zip never gets signed properly. I get the error bad zip can't open. I have tried this on ubuntu and on windows 7.
try downloading the rom again.
or try simple tool like signapk.
it works on roms too.

I got clockworkmod working fine, but I am unable to loan ROMs. Whenever I downloand a ROM it opens in muiltiple files and it also happens with TNT, Thi is where Im stuck
Step 3.
Copy whatever ROM you wish to install (it should be a .zip file) to the ROMs folder on your tablet. (Leave it zipped, Clockwork will install it from the .zip file as is). trying to get VEGan 5.1 final
Note: If the ROM you downloaded has multiple files, look for the one named “update.zip” and rename it to whatever you want (something to help you differentiate it from other ROMs), then copy that to the tablet. If an “update.zip” doesn’t exist, and you’re lost…read through that ROM’s thread and see if anybody else asked about it…if not then you probably should (on that ROM’s thread…each one is different).
I cant fiqure how to get the update.zip. When I do open the files i get 3 files
META_INF,boot, and system. I tried to copy and paste all three files in the ROMs, but it never show the update.zip
You don't need an update.zip with clockworkmod recovery... you just need the rom that is zipped and can be named anything.
Stop unzipping the rom you are downloading and just copy it to your device. Install that with clockworkmod recovery.

you've answered your own question, the rar or zip file you downloaded might be in diff names, but always leave it in zip format. if in rar, unrar and the zip file should be in it.
in clockwork recovery, you can update by update.zip or choose your own zip

That is my problem, if automaticly unzips when it downloads. I am not sure if its my windows setting becaue I am unable to download TNT lite because I keep getting " windows can no opem" message. Is there a way i can prevent it from unzipping? Thanks BTW
maybe use a diff browser to download or right click on link and "save as"
You might be hitting open instead of save ...
down load it direct to your Gtab
Download the file directly to your tab. Use ES file explorer to move it to your SD card if necessary. Reboot in to clock work - choose file from SD card-select it and install.
I have Vista Home Premium 64bit and I did download WinRAR 64 bit edition. Whenever I try to install that there claims to be a corrupt file and I have downloaded it a few times from a few sites.
So I go back to the 32 bit version of WinRAR and that installs fine, but reminds me for better performance to use the 64 bit version.
Now, whenever I extract a ZIP or RAR file the Update.exe is missing or I receive a message about the CRC security not matching. AND if and only if I can get the files extracted when I try to install the ROM the Gtab is constantly stating a "status 7" error. I have tried TNT, VEGAn and 1 other ROM and each will not install.
Is there anyone who would be willing to use Skype or some other means to assist me in getting the tablet back up and running something, even if that's the stock ROM?
I do have Clockwork Mod installed already, that was the only thing that seems to have installed correctly.
Thank you in advance,
Brian
If I undertsand correctly: Youre trying to extract the contents of the "update.zip" file that comes as part of the ROM download?
If so.. you dont extract it, you leave it as "update.zip" in your sdcard directory.
I remember seeing a "pictoral" view of what your filesystem should look like in this xda somewhere. Ill try to find it.
No, I am having problem extracting the ROMs from Zip or Rar, so I went and downloaded Memtest86 just to see if there was a RAM problem. That checked out fine after an hour of testing.
Most every Zip or Rar I try to extract have CRC errors, even if it's unrelated to this site. But part of that causes the Update.zip not to extract at all and I only get the "recovery" folder and Command and the Update.zip had an error and doesn't extract.
I then tried it on a laptop with Win7 and I could extract some files then more errors, then I tried a Win XP laptop and that seemed to extract the files fine.
My latest is now the Gtab is bricked, stuck trying to install recovery that never ends. So I looked up for the USB driver and nvflash and the ROM that goes with that and the Gtab doesn't show up as a removable drive so I can transfer the files on there. I have copied them to SDcard but I can't get that to read the data.
So, at this point the Gtab is looping and I cannot get back into Clockwork or get it to show as a drive using the USB drivers and the -Vol and Power button.
Currently when I just power on the tablet in red text I get:
Magic value mismatch:
:"
Critical failure: Unable to start kernel.
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002).
FIXED
PROBLEM FIXED.
I saw another thread stating similar problem, located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026757 and followed the advice of a few people and now the Gtab is working again. Its stock ROM but the main thing is it's working again.
hi guys!
First of all : I'm new to the custom rom scene development. I do know how to flash and so..
So i've installed cygwin and the android kitchen. I took the stock rom provided to me by the manufacturer, i was able to set up the working folder. Then I did : "Build ROM from working folder", without making any changes to apk's or something like that.
When i got the update.zip file i tried flashing it with a recovery and using the update.zip in /sdcard method. The first method just stopped after verifying, the second method said it was an invalid package.
I believe there is something wrong with the signing of the rom. Could you guys help me out?
Thx!

yes i have the latest java JDK
i've got the update.zip (see 1.png)
in Android Kitchen folder i put the update.zip in the original_update
I had been trying to make a custom ROM or porting a ROM for Micromax Canvas A 96. It has only one custom ROM found in 'needrom' site. As the stock ROM is in a format suitable for SP Flashtool , I wanted to make a CWM flashable ROM in zip format, so that porting will be easier. For this purpose I need 'METAINF' Folder with updater script. So, after searching I came across a guide on 'Converting boot.img +system.img' to CWM flashable zip ROM. I followed it and used android kitchen and got a ROM in zip in the output folder which I re-named (during working on 'cygwin' window). Now I checked it by extracting with 'Express zip' windows software, and it says " The zip is corrupted or encrypted or empty or in an incompatible format'. Now, I do not know how to go about it. Please help me.
Hey guys,
I found some threads on here on how to work in Kitchen and extract Android ROMS. Everything is set up, kitchen is working, cygwin is :good: but when i try extracting factory ROM folder of NEXUS 6 i found it gives some errors.
In the zip that i try to export there is a folder and the folder looks like this ->
-bootloader-shamu ... .img
-flash-all
-flash-base
-image-shamu- .. .zip (in here are the recovery.img,system.img ..)
-radio-shamu- .. .zip
When i try extracting this it gives "No system folder found"
When i try extracting image-shamu .zip it gives "sys/mman.h" can't be found..
Any usefull suggestions on what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks!
