How do I open ROMs?

LukeS_ · 18-01-2011 5:59pm #1

So I downloaded a ROM and it's in a very strange format. How am I supposed to open it? I've tried using WinRAR with no luck. Here is the link to the Multiupload site, it's not in .zip or .rar format. What am I supposed to do? Am I clicking the wrong download or something? Help me please!

Thanks.

Not too sure, but do you have to download 7zip or something then select the file, then compress it as a .zip then open it with WinRAR?

All it says is... "Unzip it on your computer"?

Winrar should be able to open it. Sounds like you have a corrupted download, try again.

Is it okay to take out your battery and turn your phone back on normally if you're in the MAGLDR USB Flasher screen? When I try to install the ROM it says "RAPI.dll was not found." So I can't even flash it. :eek:

What phone is it? Doesn't sound like android.

It's a HD2 running Android on the NAND. Still just sitting here clueless on what to do. :eek:

No idea. Sounds like that's a winmo rom tho, not an android one.

I figured it out in the end. The thing that was wrong is that my PC had that little part missing somehow. I just copied to a USB and stuck it in to my other PC and it worked like a charm. Now my HD2 is like a carbon copy of the DHD.
