Ok so i did search to see if i could figure this out on my own but failed miserably so maybe i cold get some help here?
i download a rom to my download folder boot into recovery go to flash said rom but it is not there. reboot system search with file explorer and the rom zip is there. Any reason why its a no show?
If you ever used a 4.2 Rom it makes a "0" folder. So if you see that folder put the roms in that folder and then your recovery should see it

I use oi file manager to copy from downloads to 0/downloads. Its easy, no pc needed. I bounce between 4.2 an 4.1 all the time

I tried approximately 22 times to install from multiple sources but the zip file is just not showing up!!!!! Can someone please help or give a step by step guide? I really want this ROM on my phone
You need to expand the rar file you've downloaded to extract the zip inside. Place that zip on your external then it should show

Here, i made the zip for you http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HFFEYG2Y. Just download boot into recovery and you should see it.
The reason your phone couldn't find it before is because it was in a RAR format and when in CWM only ZIPS are recognized for installing

I've seen this type of download before and it says the zip itself (named boot) is a .img and when I put it into the SD it shows up as a very small (4,000 KB) zip file. it doesn't show up in CWM.
Did you try repacking it as zip?
Hi all i create an update.zip.
I signed it, after adding apks (/system/app), datas (/data/data) and modifying the updater-script.
So, when i flash it, the recovery executes it perfectly, but when i reboot my phone, only a part of the apps that i wanted to add are installed and the others are in /system/app but not installed and when i try to install them manually with Root Explorer in /system/app, this is the output:
Code:
There is a problem parsing the package
Why does it happen?! What can i do??
I have ever a error when i make a update zip or can not open update zip what i can do??? I used a updatezip creator.

I'm trying to pull some bits out of a ROM, but my pc won't open the zip file. I guess it's encrypted to only be read by fastboot or something. Is there any way I can access it? I can't just stick it in root and install it since it's not for my phone.
Anyone?
Have you tried extracting it with 7-zip?

First thing I tried, I know how to open zip files. This file however refuses to open.
Hello again , i managed to get my hands on a modded e3 recovery and i downloaded root explorer to put my modded e3 recovery file into the system/bin folder as instructed in another tutorial but my phone seems to be missing its recovery file from the bin folder. I found it in another location. Assistance would be great! And as always thank you

This is my first time trying to root my Micromax Canvas HD.
I am trying to install CWM recovery using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167621
However I am stuck in the second step itself. I have extracted the "Kernel Source" SouceCode(IQ451_4.1).zip file. But I am not able to find any recovery.img file to replace. What is the problem here? Have I downloaded the wrong file? Should I download something else?
While trying to extract the zip file, Winrar asked me if I want to rename the duplicate files, because there were a few files with the same name but different size. I asked Winrar to rename the files. Is this a problem?
I am completely new to this field, so I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong.
Any help regarding this problem would be of great help to me. Please tell me of the things that need to be taken care of before rooting my phone.
Thanks a lot.

Use mobile uncle tools instead of the above method.. Download recovery... Rename it to recovery.img... Place it in sd card... Not in any folder.. Just inside sd card.. Open mobile uncle tools... Update recovery.. It automatically detects the file in sd card... Select... Flash...reboot.. Done...
Hit thanks if this helped..

Is there no other solution? Will I be able to use the files that I have already downloaded?
I have tried loading the recovery.img file through the Flash tool, but it asks me to select the path for the PRELOADER..
How do I find the preloader file?
You can use the downloaded file... Why do you want to use the flash tools method when the thing can be done in 2 clicks..
