How to flash Cerberus.zip? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just tried to flash cerberus.zip with the temporary CWM but it says: Error status 255
I've searched info and it could be because the .zip is prepared for ARM. I made some changes to the file following a tutorial and CWM now says that the installation is OK but when I turn on the phone I don't have the apk installed.
Any help?

If its just an apk you can use a root file explorer to put the apk in your system folder or wherever it needs to go. Just remember to set permissions too.

Cerberus can be installed from the playstore... Why are you putting in system folder?

This way if your phone is stolen and the thief reverts your phone to factory status Cerberus should stay installed.

Yep, but it is harder for the thief to erase the apk

I've just uploaded the 4.4 flashable version for cerberus disguised (system framework named version).
You can download it from here: a d f. l y/1o5juF
After flashed it, download the latest version of disguised version from cerberusapp.com, download it from here: a d f. l y/1o5k0M

Actual (2010-06-27) hosts file

Because AdFree is not working on Desire:
I've made hosts file which is compilation of two lists and some manual additions (for correct blocking of admob). So I decided to share with my list. Use it if You want to. Please tell me if this forum is wrong for that list.
Sorry for the n00b question but how do you install this?
Nice one mate. You've just reminded me I needed to redo my hosts file after installing Modaco Froyo, and I might as well use yours as it'll be more up to date than mine.

ditto this, instructions for us noobies?
unzip the host file
than enter recovery
adb-windows shell mount /system
adb-windows shell mv /system/etc/hosts /sdcard/backuphost
adb push c:\hosts /system/etc
that should wrok if you unziped hosts.zip to c:\ and if something goes wrong you have your original hosts file backed up in /sdcard/backuphost
hope this helps
p.s. i didn't try this
did everything, and adfree is still not working in froyo...
Thanks anyway!
Edit: Now, Adfree FCs!
Edit 2: I did it again and it worked!
Could someone please create a zip file, that can be falshed through clockworkmod recovery? This would be fantastic.
Try this, mate. [Click!]

Thanks dnlgee I put it in my repo on ROM Manager
This is great, thanks for sharing - it seems to work great. I might go back to a stock hosts though - I like to block ads when browsing, but I feel bad about doing it for ad-supported applications. That's just me though

Yes, trying to do thinks more easy for all people
Thank you. I have been looking for this for a long time
Great work, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and it was gone from the downloads in Rom Manager.
Big thanks.
Panic over, It was saved as a download on my SD card, Rom Manager flashed it again from the saved location no problem.
Love it.
danbst said:
Your stuff is gone from Rom Manager it seems mate.
Would I be right in assuming I can put this on my card renamed as update.zip (if I need to?)
Use rom manager to boot into recovery and flash it manually?
Great work BTW, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and as I say it was gone.
Big thanks.

You don't need to rename the zip file if you're using ROM Manager, but yes you should be able to install this through the manager.
If you can't download it through the ROM Manager report, my link is always online and will be updated when possible.

Just a confused question;
If we have a rooted device, what's the reason for having to use the recovery menu? Can you not simply overwrite the file?
Thanks
Yea you can, provided you reboot into recovery and mount the system, then pull or push the device back into the system.
Either way you need to boot into recovery as there's no root method that fully allows read/write access for the Desire at the moment.

It should work like this. Unfortunatelly you can't mount system partition as read/write. That is because system is blocking this in some way.

Another quick one:
I used the zip file which people are using in the rom manager. I rebooted into clockwork and selected apply update from zip and selected the file. Appears I broke the system though lol .
Is this not the right way of doing it?
Also how do you type commands in the recovery? :S

Don't let it check the md5(deselect the option). Then it should work. It worked for me

thanks but force md5 is not checked, unless you are talking about doing this in code?
And in the log it says
verify md5 for /sdcard...........
No md5 file found, ignoring.
If it is an md5 problem then where and what do i put the md5 file.
josepho1997 said:
Well you could try rebooting your device. If that doesn't work, boot your device into recovery mode(5001). If that doesn't work boot back into normal(4000). Make sure TWRP is updated.(or CWM). Or you could try to flash it manually with your computer.

well i think i didnt make the update script right or something. I need someone to check out the zip.
josepho1997 said:
I would test it out but i don't have my Kindle Fire. The USB Port was loose and I'm waiting on my new one. They shouldn't find out I rooted because I unrooted, deleted any app that hinted towards me rooting it, and my battery is completely dead and it can't charge, so I think I'm safe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well its not really a matter of testing it because I'm pretty sure it won't work on any fire because I think I formatted the zip the wrong way. All I need is someone who has made a flash able zip to check the zip out and see what I did wrong. This is my first flash able zip I've ever made. It is a very simple one too.

You are correct that the zip file was formatted wrong. I redid the META-INF you was missing update-binary file and your updater-script was incorrect.
I attached it again with the fixes.

Thank you so much.I ran out or thanks. I will be sure to thank you tomorrow.Do you ever have to change the binary? Like if I make a different flashable zip can i just keep the update-binary the same? And can you reccomend something for linux to sighn zips. I had to use windows to sighn the one I attached?
Edit: when I flashed a zip it deleted all app data or something? Do you know why?

Oh geez, that sucks. I've never had that happen before. You could just download one from the Play Store. I use Color Note. Unless you are looking for a specific UI
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda premium
Did you just click install as an apk?
it is a system app so you need to use a root browser app and move the memo.apk file to the root/system/app folder and give it the correct permissions.

Any luck with this app? I tried to install it as well with no luck. I also went into Recovery and it's not there. Is there another version or way go get this done?
I only need to install the app, so I can put some of the memo's that I created back on, so I can get the information I need...
i use this on jedi knight. Might work for you.
just use a root explorer & place in root/system/app, &reboot.

Sure thing.
I created flashable of Radio for you, just flash it using TWRP.
If you don't have TWRP, use the apk from zip and place it manually in system/priv-app/HybridRadio2016_M
