Need help installing the UD ROM

[kfloydlezak]

Ok - so I did everything that the site tells me to do. I for some reason do not have the option in recovery mode to select the ROM. It asks me to select a ROM then i get an error that the TAR cannot be found.
Please help.

your supposed to be looking for a zip file. what recovery are you using?

 

[kfloydlezak]

i am using sprecovery_0.99.3b. In the past, I think I used something different and was able to change ROMS and themes every day..
Thanks for all your help.

are you rooted? most people use clockwork mod recovery. can find it easily on xda or googling it

 

[kfloydlezak]

Yes...the reason I say I am rooted is because I can press the X button and power on and have the recovery option. I use to have more options to install by SD card, but now I don't...and I really can't figure out what I did wrong...(banging my head against the wall).

i think sprecovery is the built in recovery. so it doesn't mean your rooted. you would know if you are. try to download and use superuser and see what happens.

Sp has to be flashed. There is a stock recovery.

Does your recovery look like this

Swyped from a Droid

 

[kfloydlezak]

yes exactly like that

as you can see, i have the inc. i put cwm on the first day. so he must be rooted then.

Are you renaming the file to "update.zip"?

 

[kfloydlezak]

Sooooo I am still confused (sorry). I look like I am rooted, so why can't I install UD? Yes re-named the file to update.zip. This is a replacement droid 1. My old droid - I had a problem with my keyboard. Do you think they put a block on the new D1?
Wait....rename the UD ROM update.zip?

 

[gwhiz377]

Did you move the file to the root of the SD card?

 

[v941726]

sounds like you were rooted on your old phone. you would need to root your new phone

 

[gwhiz377]

yes, you have to rename it to update.zip for sprecovery.

 

[gwhiz377]

But, don't actually add the ".zip" part as it will do that itself. Just leave it as "update"
