If you have a custom recovery go into it and press Install button, then select your zip.

Didn't mean to be rude. it was just fun....
and in XDA, we have to be a bit rude when new people not try to Google and read stuff before posting a thread about it.
Let me explain..
You know how to install a program in windows, right? run Setup.exe etc etc
In Linux, or android specifically, you just copy paste stuff into the required directories, and set their specific permissions. That's it.
Flashing a zip does exactly that. When in a custom recovery, you select a zip and install it, it copies its contents into specific folders of your phone partitions and sets the permissions of files as required.
You install ROM's, MOD's, themes, tweaks and many more things using different zips.
Hope it helps this time..... but if you would have Google and read, then it would have been more natural learning for you and better understanding.
Regards
Yasir
to install a zip you need cwm or twrp recovery. then just go to install menu in the recovery, then choose the zip you want to flash. done

Or adb in and push stock files which would be a bit tough
So best will be reflash the rom
But hey you can use QTadb to get in and replace the themed files with stock ones
Hey but how to use Qtadb? I really new to this. :/

Yes. That will do.
I think you flashed a theme with stock odexed ROM. Do remember next time most of the themes are for DEODEXED ROMS.
Ok okay. MY bad.
But How to reflash? I'm downloading i5801DDJP4 firmware now. How to flash?

See here.
wat abt tat qtadb?
bro flash a kernel having cwm and always be on it......coz whenever such things happen all u need to do is keep an additional update.zip of a working theme......and if u get stuck flash tht using cwm recovery and ur fone will be allright.......
and much better is use multiboot kernel........and save ur rom using cwm.....whenever ur fone gets problem ......just using multiboot flash the rom u saved........
update.zip will be helpfull when u get problems due to themes.....
multiboot will be helpfull always even with themes and many other things like maybe bimistakely u delete some files u can recovery using multiboot.

This soft bricking can even happen if u dont have sufficient /system space. see that minimum system space=theme's file size.
If u dnt have enough system space, then u need to delete some system apps to free some space using adb or qtadb and then replace theme files
Best solution is to reflash

whats your problem ...???
Hello There Guy's
I Had An Idea ... Sometimes we delete files that were not meant to be deleted
u can a make a zip file to be flashed with that file in order to put the file back were he belongs ... Saving some time in restoring a backup or re-flashing ROM
Or ... U just Simply need that file to be flashed, problem is ... many of us dont know how
And for those u dont know how I'm opening this post!
Just Send Their Requests and i'll make a flashable zip of those files and posting them here in order to help other's tat may need it aswell!
I'll be making this in a Daily Bases ... So ... Fire Way With Requests
Note: Only System Files Can Be Requested
Note 2: Done Requests Will Be Added On 2nd Post
Note 3: To Flash Zip Files You'll Need CWM Recovery And Root ( Files For Both Things Can Be Found On Attachment
Installation Notes:
Flash (From Stock Recovery) Root.zip and then CWM.zip
Center Clock ( CM7 ) - | LINK |
Good initiative
Sounds like a good idea, but surely you can just extract any missing files from a ROM Zip.

hello everyone
i have just bought samsung galaxy star g-5282
my dream was to install and play gangstar MV or WCH on . and when i did so . MV didnt even bother to start . WCH started but everything was white ..
then i found out that i need to install a prog called Chain Fire 3D ... said it's ok then (google it . . . . )
then i found that i need to root my phone before i could use it (omg .. and how the hell can i root my phone?? *wondering*)
then i tryied to google it : and i found 754781587548751264621 numbers of ways .. as a noob with android ( was using N86 nokia before )
i didnt know what to do ,,, so my question is easy full detailed guide for rooting ..
by the way i don't have the usb cable ( left at my parents home ) and my upcoming visit to them will be after at least a month
so if i can do it without pc it would be way better
if not then some one tell me the easist and most effective way to do it and i will try it after i get my cable
thanks everyone .. regards

First install flashyfy apk search this forum..
download cwm for this mob again search cwm in this forum..
extract the recovery.img from that downloaded cwm file..(use b1 archiver to extract).. place that extracted recovery img in sdcard..
now open flashyfy in your mob search for recovery img through that app.. flash it.. reboot phone..
now download supersu update zip google it..
place that supersu update zip in external sdcard ..
then go into recovery mode by flashyfy app..
and in recovery mode select install update from ext sdcard.. choose supersu update zip.. and proceed witg it you will have rooted the phone ..
if you have followed wat i said above.. try best..
and this way doesn't require pc connection to mobile phone by cable right?
please answer asap , and thanks very much in advance

Although I don't really need it right now I think I'll need it cause I'm going to buy this K900 very soon! I'm actually about to order it today! Is this file the latest ROM?
Do you have the K900? Can you, please, encourage or discourage me about getting it? What do you say? I love its desing and size, and I like it's Intel's chip in it. I've had a Razr i and was great!
I've followed this forum months ago, but have missed all news about this device. Can you tell me if this device will get any update like 4.3 or 4.4? Any good changes in the last months with software updates? I've heard it heated a lot at first. :/

The phone is good. Im very satisfied. There has been rumors that we will get the 4.3 update but not sure when. Yes the phone heats up sometimes but with the latest updates i feel like its gone down tremendously. There is no actual flaw to this phone i really like it. I will be using it until the K910 is officially released in my country. I wanna try an LTE phone lol.

Yes I know its very much "legit" . I had no problem in downloading the file uploaded initially. I will try this soon as my phone is just a week old and just wana make sure everything fine with it as after rooting I will loose its warranty.
Just a single question I have is, when on lock screen I press PIN code the whole screen brightness kinda flicker/brighten up on touch. Is it normal or its only me getting this? Also screen brightness varies while I use the phone!

Just go to superuser and hit the unroot button. Only stock kernel is available, no custom kernels around yet.
