I'm following the directions here for trying to install a custom rom. Following that, when I frag the recovery.img to cwmr 6015.bat, it then brings up the dos window asking which model it is. I honestly have no clue, but neither selection one or two do anything but so the following in a new window that pops up.
Windows cannot find 'C:\Documents'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To seach for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.

I've tried moving the files I'm supposed to use for this to different areas without luck. Has anyone run into this before? I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Can't use Rom Manager. My tablet is unsupported by it.
But, the situation has changed a little. I figured out the issue trying to create the rom. Now, I'm not sure if it was installed or now. How would I figure that out?
Now I'm to the point of creating the recovery file. When I deag and drop the stock recovery file into the script, it just says error about the location or something. Am I missing something?

If you intend on flashing it with a custom recovery, you could also zip the whole package and name it update.zip
There's an excellent guide over here.
The problem is, I used mkcramfs and when I unpacked it again it showed empty

Yes, yes, I know what you mean.
You've got to have /system in a folder, not compressed.
*You've got to be on linux!
Issue:
Code:
mkfs.yaffs2 yourdir yourimage
But you've got to find that command on Google, I didn't find it. Otherwise, flash it to your device and make a Nandroid backup.
Edit: I've found mkfs.yaffs2, but it's ARM only. That means you've got to do it on your device (Busybox/Terminal)
It's here.

I just flashed my rom to ICS on my galaxy s2. I used odin and downloaded the roms from samfirmware. After flashing there is weird information being displayed on the home screen of my cell which wont go away. I have changed the rom file, I have even changed the odin version but no success. Please help! How can I remove it?

Theres dozens of threads about this.
Search for "keystr" and youll find a post about how to remove it.
Efs>imei>create keystr file=ON.

Hi is there a way to clean up these /0 directories who looks identical?
It add's an additional /0 directory in emulated every time I do a clean flash. Don't that use up my internal storage?
I'm using Temasek's cm 10.1 unofficial v83 + kernel but i don't think it has to do with the ROM
Is it safe to just delete these directories or is there any other way around this?

You need to upgrade your recovery application to the latest version to stop getting multiple /0 folders.
You only need one level of /0. And, yes you can delete the redundant levels. But make sure your files under the last level are copied to the sole remaining level.
/0 level came in with multi-user support in 4.2

I've flashed cwmtouch 6.0.2.8 awhile ago and the levels of /0's stopped adding up.
I've copied all the files from the last levels to emulated/0.
Then i deleted the files from the last levels except one made by a rom i had several months ago. It can't seem to be deleted because of some elevated permissions. I've tried with several Explorer's with no luck.
How do I get around to change permissions or simply get rid of former systemfiles not in use anymore?

You can try with philz recovery and aroma file manager inside the recovery, see first posts of thread.

Use terminal. Then remove the folder using the 'rm -rf' command. You may need to read up on this if you aren't familiar with Linux commands.

Back you files up to a PC, then boot to recovery and format /sdcard. That will remove all the 0/0/0/0/0/0 folders, then boot and copy your files back.

Yes look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/info-flashed-4-2-sdcard-data-t2274218
Sometimes.. you see apps on xda.. that are required to be flashed.. and are in the form of zip files. Now how are these different from apk files with their regular installation? is it something to do with giving these apps you flash a deeper level permission? if so.. if your rooted can't you just give those apps those permissions after a normal install?
Usually making them flashable is just easier for some and if you were to extract the .apk from the zip and install it from sdcard it would work the same. Sometimes the app may require extra libs that are flashed at the same time as the app so they are bundled together as a zip. Or possibly it is being flashed to system for whatever reason and can't be done this way installed through os.
There are lots of varying reasons why it may be a .zip but you could also install it probably any way you'd like (including pushing with adb) if you want to know what's in the .zip just extract its contents, if you want to know what happens when you flash it look at the updater-script

Thank you..! I have one more question.. in some cases.. you are instructed to "copy apk's to system\app folder with a file manager with root permissions and then reboot" ... why this? does this produce the same effect as flashing it?
I guess it depends on the app, but it may only function properly as a system app, and yes it would be just as possible to flash it through recovery or push with adb to get the same effect

Update: Apparently the phone will connect via USB to my iMac but not my regular PC (while my brother's identical phone will connect to both), so I slapped Windows in a VM and now can use LGNPST. Makes sense, it does not.
My computer (using either Windows or Linux) won't recognize my phone anymore but I need to get it back to stock everything (including bootloader, recovery, etc). Can't use LGNPST or KDZ for the aforementioned reason. Stupidly, I failed to retain backups of my /sdcard/freegee directory (with aboot, sbl{1,2,3}, boot and recovery).
Anyone feel like making an archive of their /sdcard/freegee backup tree and uploading it somewhere?
Feel free to laugh, since I've been doing Android-related development since 2010.
I just made an efs backup with efsflashablemaker.zip.... Maybe that will help? I believe u can push the files thru adb if ur phone is unbootable.. Just don't ask me the command lines cuz I couldn't help lol
