You do realize you gave NO information at all with your statement. What is it you were installing?
Did you read through the first few posts of this thread thoroughly [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [05/10] GPS NOW WORKING! and follow the directions and install one of the cab files from the download link on the first post?
There's a few options but as I saw beside each download link it showed exactly what the version was.. whether it be android 2.1 or android 2.1 with sense etc etc.
Downloads (Project Android)
the install is really... really simple. I'm not sure how you can screw it up if you follow the directions... ie
Copy to SD card
Install: This .cab has to be installed directly to your SD card or it will not work!
Soft Reset your handset
Run Project Android (MJGDroidUtil.exe) from your new start menu icon and enjoy!
It's really that simple.
Good luck

oh lordy..u need to know those code words..lol or it might not work if u installing the wrong version. so u have a tilt 2 like me n a similar rom. No, u dont need to download the linux in order to get android. heres the scoop. theres 3 android builds...2.01, the AOSP 2.1, and the Klinux 2.1 with Sense 2.5. then u also have a rhobunto program thats a form of linux that u can put in ur phone also. who is ur service with? im figuring att or some GSM network. our phones are GSM but can b used on others also. try out the AOSP 2.1 cab. its the most stable build of Android for Rhodium and has the least amount of things u need to do to get service and data working. First delete any trace of whatever build u tried to download that said didnt work. if u have Clear temp or Clean ram, use that too afterwards. then download the cab file directly to the root of storage card which is /storage . makes sure its at the root and not in a folder. then install the cab. after install..do a soft reset. then when u boot back up, in ur start menu, u should see an Android icon or the Haret. exe/startup utility icon. click on that. then select the corresponding keyboard that matches the tilt 2..its like in the middle or something. this next step is optional but i would do it to have the latest files. next step, while in the that screen, press the menu softkey. U should see something that says Update, Apps, Exit. click on the updates. click all 3 boxes if they not already. then press update. it updates the crucial files zimage, roofts., and the intrdgz files. so ull be up to date. after those update, press close. itll take u back to the startup utility screen. press RUN ANDROID...then hopefully, u good to go...make sure to read the wiki or the project android thread for rhodium so u know what to do if any issues come up. be patient while haret loads up and dont press no buttons...lol the first boot up takes a lil while but afterwards, it loads up way faster. after haret loads, u should be at a black screen that says Android and is flshing. thats the startup screen for android. after that ANdroid starts up. i just wanna emphasize the importance of reading the info up here so u know what works and what doesnt. cuz if u come askn in the threads about something already stated, alot of veteran members might jump on ur case..lol its worth the extra effort. trust me..i know its a ****load to read but its needed so u know the in and outs of whats going on. let me know if u got it up and running. I havent installed Rhobunto yet, so i cant advise on that , if thats what u want. but definitely try the AOSP build. cuz if u get the sense build, u have to enter in ur apn settings n all that. with the AOSP, everything works right off the bat, the voice service and data. once u get seasoned a lil, then try the sense build. if u get stuck on somethin, let me know or send a PM. ill see what i can do to guide ya on the install.

well i got it to work i found out my problem was using opera ten for downloading and it was not downloading all the way and it took forever so i switch it to ie and downloaded fifteen min later it installed and well the only complaint i have is that android sucks my battery dry even in the charger what can i do about it other than that wow i love it...thank you so much

right now with the build, when u boot into android, it doesnt give u accurate readings. theres no way it literally drains the battery while plugged up to the charger unless u got something else in there or like max brightness or somethin..lmfao like u can be in windows and be 100% battery and immediately once u boot into android, itll show that ur only at like 60-70%. its false. it can get all the way down to 5% left in Android, and if u boot back to windows , ull see ur battery still almost full..lol whatever u do, try not to let Android drain the battery completely. it doesnt have a cut off point and will drain it dry and not let u reboot. if that happens , just plug it up to the wall charger, not usb/pc cable charging, and ull be good in 5-10 mins. plugging it up to ur computer after it drained will literally take several several hrs. to get enough power back in there to reboot. your phone needs a minimum amount to get it started.
Glad u got android workn. just make sure to read up on it...even if ur a newb...as u can see , the more veteran members can be snarky at times when people come in asking questions over and over again thats already been answered in the past. The wiki, this forum, and the android rhodium project page will give u all the info u need.

yea i refreshed it like 10 times but nothing happens...i think its because im using windows 7...should i try on a xp pc?

You can also try unrevoked3, that gets you su permissions then do toasts part 2 then use whiteslacks "how to start over method. Seems the long way around but you can usually avoid the problems simpleroot seems to cause some people.

They are easy to find, just run a forum search, use advanced search then forum title only, i dont have the links in front of me i would have to search for them too, you can also try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835
This will only work if you have su permissions though. give it a try and let me know how it works. You can also pm me if you like so i can find out exactl where you are in the process.

ok guys good news...i tried the OTA simpleroot on the xp pc and everything went perfectly without any error, my phone is currently updating files in bootloader as we speak, but i have a question how do i user RA recovery instead of clockwork? does it matter or make a difference? or should i just leave clockwork and load a custom rom

personal preference really, i use Ra, just boot to recovery then flash away, either one is good, some say clockwork does not completely wipe ... I havent had any problems with either personally.

I had problems loading DC 3.2.X with clockwork... but ROM manager needs clockwork and is amazing

[Q] Help with sprint lovers rom

Hi All, admitted newbie here. Sorry if this is misplaced, but I've searched and can't find the answer.
I've rooted my evo, dowloaded the all in one sprint lovers rom and installed it using rom manager. however, after install, i can find no signs of it being SL - no wifi tether app, no % battery indicator, no power control from pull-down window. from all outward appearances it is vanilla sense/froyo.
how do i verify exactly what installed? do i have to somehow seperately install/enable the SL features mentioned above?
help is appreciated..... thanks.

To check what you have just go to settings then at the bottom about phone, then software and look around it should say what rom you have
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

you don't flash it from rom manager.
name it to pc36img.zip EXACLTY and make sure it is on the root of the sdcard. save anything worth saving. then power off phone. then hold volume down and power, and you should see a white screen w/ skating droids. it'll ask if you want to updat.e hit folume up for yes. once it is done, it'll ask you if you want to reboot. also hit volume up for yes.
i'd reccomend you also try some roms like myns, mik's, koni's, and maybe some aosp cm7 action as well.
welcome to the root world.
any other quesitons, don't be afraid to ask.

Download Amon 2.3 for recovery you can also use this later to flash things and backups. Now place the sprint lovers rom in the root of sd card turn phone off.
Hold volume button down and hit the power button while holding down to get into bootloader it will then boot the pc36img.
Then when you get that all done remove it from your sd card and copy amon 2.3 pc36img over do the same thing. Then remove it from the sd card and bingo your set man. Easy as pie. Any more directions PM me.

First of all, thanks to those who have posted already - very much appreciated.
I think i found the problem (but not the solution yet) and it is very weird. After having problems getting sprint lovers loaded, I went ahead and tried cm7 using the version downloaded from rom manager. It installed and I've been using it a couple days. very nice.
However, I still wanted sprint lovers so I tried it again today. Downloaded the all in one fresh again to my mac so i was sure of the right file, moved it to my sd card root, verified it is there in finder, then did an install from sdcard using rom manager. it goes through the whole process and what do I get? CM7 again?!?
So... I think what was happening was that installing from sdcard in rom manager is resulting in the already existing rom being reinstalled. weird.
Further to this problem, if I manually boot into recovery and try to install from sdcard, I am able to see all the usual folders, etc. on the sdcard, but not the zip rom file. I can see the rom file when the phone is mounted to my mac and I can also see it when I use a file manager on the phone. However, in recovery, no dice. This is why I initially used rom manager to install as I wasn't seeing rom files when browsing in recovery.
Does anyone have a solution? I am totally confused as to why this is happening and its caused hours of confusion already. Is it a Mac file thing?? I kept installing Sprint Lovers and finding that there were no new features (about 3 times), which is why I originally made this posting.
Thanks in advance!

YOU CAN NOT USE ROM MANAGER TO INSTALL THE ALL IN ONE VERSION OF SPRINT LOVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The all in one version of sprint lovers must be installed from the boot loader not recovery. You copy sprint lovers PC36IMG.zip to the root of the sd card and enter the boot loader, then follow the instructions on the screen when it asks if you want to update.
If you insist on using ROM manager then you have to install the stand alone version of Sprint Lovers. This will require you to also install the updated radios unless you have already updated the radios.
PC36IMG.zip use bootloader, any other .zip is installed using recovery and rom manager uses recovery.

dude wtf.
srry but i told you how in my first post ^^^^^
sprintlovers is a ruu style flash, which is mostly unused. rom manager uses update.zips.
if you're going to ask a question, plz dont ignore a perfectly good answer.
i get where you might have gotten confused, because the rest of the people told you how to flash an update.zip rom, which won't work with sprintlovers. but you didn't even try mine, even though i gave you perfectly good instructions.
if you need help, dont be afraid to ask.
but don't ignore the answer.

Sorry dk, no disrespect, I just didn't understand what you were telling me exactly. Please keep in mind there are a lot of moving parts to this with the roms, kernals, radio updates, etc. and whats obvious to you may not be to someone who just started. I actually did follow your directions yesterday once it sank in and Cruise replied to make it crystal clear and all is well now. SL is installed and working perfectly.
I left thanks to you both...thank you!
One question: Is there a rom like sprint lovers, but is stripped down and crap free? I don't like having to go back and delete everything and not know what i might step on that affects the phone later. I really liked cm7 a lot for the couple days I used it, but with gps being flaky (i know it is fixable) and some random lags and weirdness I got on certain apps, I am not sure if it is solid enough. I use this phone daily as my main business phone for all incoming and outgoing calls, so it has to be solid.
Thanks again.

I suggest that you download and install the Titanium Backup app. Whatever rom you decide to flash, you can use the aforementioned app to "freeze" an app you don't want. If you later find that you do want it or need it, you can always "defrost" it with Titanium Backup. As for what is safe to remove, see the following list:

Thanks Doug - very helpful.
However, am still interested if there is a clean, crap-free rom where you do not have to go through and delete so many items. Anyone know of one?

That will depend on your definition of "crap-free". If crap free means the removal of all Sprint apps then yes, most custom sense roms have them removed and stored in a special folder on your SD card in case you decide to install one or more of them later. Some people see the Sense overlay as crap. If you do, too, then there are numerous AOSP roms available. Salvage-Mod and CyanogenMod are just two of the more popular ones. There is even a sense-removal script floating around. Keep in mind, however, that the devs initially create their roms to suit their own tastes. They then alter their work to satisfy fans of their work as best as they can. Furthermore, what you consider crap may be a necessity to the next person. Know what I mean? Anyway, I hope I was helpful. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day....

Are you certain the file isn't named PC36IMG.zip.zip? Remove the .zip portion and try again, just in case. Also, are you certain the file is suppose to be flashed from the bootloader and not from within recovery? If you are and removing the .zip from the filename didn't work, redownload the file.

Yes i.m sure it is named PC36IMG.ZIP and when bootloader serch for it (wrong image) and i did download few times but with the same results , what else could it be? just in case i'm going to download it one more time

Again ( no image or wrong image ) WTF is wrong? now i noticed that when bootloader is searching or loading the image first says ( loading PC36DIAG.ZIP ) and then ( no image or wrong image ) and after that loads the PC36IMG.ZIP but again ( no image or wrong image )

yea dude it's named wrong. windows hides file extensions sometimes so it may be named pc36img.zip.zip but you just don't know it. try removing .zip then try again.

Good call. That's why I just tell people to name it PC36IMG, since I already know its a .zip extension.

I am having the same issue.....keeps saying no image. I've made sure the file name is correct (only 1 extension) and it's sitting in the root of my sdcard. Any other ideas? Is the file case sensitive? Windows files usually aren't but I don't know what the bootloader is written in so not too sure. Please help as I've found the process up to this point to be pretty painless but didn't want something this small to hold me up.
Thanks a bunch!
Edit: I've also downloaded and tested the .zip several times (using WinRAR) and it seems ok. the file size is 225,430 KB.

First off, this is in the wrong forum. You should be posting this in the section for the rom you are trying to flash. Second off, infected rom is not a rom that I am aware of, that is a website that has quite a few roms on it though. Please elaborate what rom you are trying to flash exactly and I will try to help you out.

Is this the ROM you are referring to? If so you will want to get the ROM from here try re-downloading and try the install again. Also are you using a Mac?

Also, you could always check the md5 sum. Otherwise, I would also suggest redownloading the rom. Are you using amon ra recovery or cwm?

yes that is the rom i am trying to download .i downloaded from the same site and it said decompressing failed twice .and yes i am on a mac

and im using amon recovery thanks for the fast replys

You are most likely using Safari which automatically unzips stuff, you will need to disable that for it to be fixed, open Safari then go to Preferences>General tab>uncheck Open "safe" files after download... And re-download the ROM. The ROMs are supposed to be zipped, happened to me all the time with my Hero back in the day lol.

i just unchecked it and will download it again .i will let you know if this worked wow you guys are great man

That's interesting, and kinda dumb. Does it do it with all types of zip files including apk's?
Boo

Should fix it, like I said, Safari automatically unzipping ROMs is bad as they are supposed to be zipped, and the unzipping breaks the files signature.

Do you always use Safari? If so I have no answer, lol, all I know is everything should be fine now.

If that doesn't work for you, you could always try downloading directly from your phone and see if that makes the difference. I would have never had that answer though cause I always download from my windows laptop or directly from my phone. Although, I have found RCmix3d to run better on my phone that eternity anyway. I do love virus' work, but he never really finished eternity and is now mostly working on other phones. R46 was just released though, and nobody knows what was changed, so hopefully the issues are fixed. My problem with eternity was that I kept missing text messages, which can't happen for me. Let us know how this goes and I might even try eternity again if the issues are fixed. Good Luck! If not, I suggest either RCmix3d or PrimeXL3d, they are both basically the same as eternity and have both worked better for me at this point

yes i use safari all the time lol ill keep you posted haha .i hope this works

it worked wow lol however it was stuck on the boot for quite sometime my god i thought i messed it up lol thanks guys amd ill let you know how this rom works

Great, I'm glad bmxrider helped you out on this one. Please do let me know what happens with the new eternity, mainly if your text messages all come through. I know you can use go sms or whatever, but I am not a fan of adding unneccesary apps to my phone really. I like to stay mainly stock with a few games and root apps as needed.

i will let you know .it looks delicious my god this virus dude is sick man wow great and very smooth .it took some time to load but hey its really nice

[Q] Why won't the .7z extract for a root image?

So i'm on this thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
And i'm trying to extract the file under Koodoo using the 7 zip file manager. i keep getting the message it can't open because it isn't archived...So i googled when that happens, apparently the file is curropt? Don't see how since no one else seems to have complained about the file and i didn't touch it after download. So, any help would be appreciated...i just rooted my phone today so i'm beyond a noob. Thank you for your help!

I would try a different program to extract it. And maybe redownload and try again.
P.S- If you just rooted your device your are still very much a noob.

LOL, when i meant beyond a noob, i meant i was worse than a noob, not better off. And could you suggest any other programs that would uninstal a .7z? I didn't even know that extension existed until today...Winrar doesn't cover it.

Like Task suggested, chances are that you'll have to redownload the file. A corrupted file won't show just like that so it could look perfectly fine but actually be corrupted.

I've re-downloaded it 4 different times . And it won't let me post on the thread to notify the OP due to my thread count.

When you right click, are you choosing "open archive" or "extract someplace"?

I'm having the same issue with the Telus rom from that link. Unable to extract the .7z file.
Downloaded it twice already, currently downloading it for the 3rd time now. tried using WinRar and 7-Zip....no luck!
