So i have installed BB 2.1 v.4 and now i am trying to install a new kernel..


i took the shoels 1.2 kernel from here (AllDroid - View topic - [ROM 2.1] Bugless Beast V0.4 (2/22/10) STABLE) and changed the name to update.zip and i tried to boot into revovery and do the updat ethat way but it wouldnt work...

i get "update.zip install blocked"

wats the deal!?

Are you choosing

-Allow update.zip installation
-Install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated)

respectively from the recovery menu when you go to install?

ps. I think your posting in the wrong forum.

yeah i did click that before pressing install

i get this
install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
opening update package
verefying update package
e:cant open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
installation aborted..
E: no tar archives found
E: no tar archives found

And all i did before this was download that zip file, rename it "update.zip" then reboot into recovery, to go install, press "allow update.zip installation" then i go to "install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated)"

figured it out! dammit! it was named update.zip.zip!

I would download the file again, rename it again and try everything over. Could you have it named update.zip.zip due to windows not showing you the file extensions?

up that was it! Wish i thought about verifying the name with a file manager

Glad it worked for you.

I'm having the same problem the only difference is my file name does not have .zip.zip extension and i am choosing (Allow update.zip Installation) (and then Install/sdcard/update.zip(deprecated)).What else could it be?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

EDIT: update.zip is in the root file of the sdcard
