Apktool errors - HTC Rezound

Anyone have experience with apktool?
I have just had one error after another and now I am stuck.
To test, I am trying to recompile an unmodified framework-res and I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is from CM9.
My goal is to change the carrier text, but if I can't get it to compile then it is a no-go. It did it before, but now I am getting this error.

Apktool always gives me issues. I use Apk Manager (well I did before I erased my Dev folder

I think I found a way around it. Edit the Eri.XML file while decompiled and then paste it directly into the apk. Works, but now it won't connect to network and phone crashes. I just don't know which line to edit in eri to change the carrier text.

Sweet, utf-8.

apktool if framework-res.apk

LOL shouldnt be in a zip. just place framework-res.apk in the same place you are running the apk tool command

You may need a different apktool.jar

I have the one directly from the code.google page.

Well from what I know using the one Google provides are no good for rezound most of the time you need to modify the apktool.jar to fix most problems

I'll have to fire up the comp when I get home but. Use 3.21 i think it is to decompile. And then use the latest version to recompile. Then jus do the normal asec and res swap in the orig apk to keep orig signature.
And make sure your dependencys are setup like normal too.
