I'm running the official 2.2 OTA and rooted my phone with z4 just today. Whenever I try to install rims it says installation aborted. Help please.
what rom are your trying to run
The latest rubix rom. I renamed it update and put it on the root of my sd card but it still wont install. Keeps saying installation aborted even after I get success from the bootstrap.
I run rubix
you need to copy the zip some place on the SD card but it doesn't need to be in the root and it doesn't need to be called update.zip
then download and install bootstrap
run boot strap and reboot into recovery
then install it right from the sd card
works great, rubix is an awesome rom. by far my favorite.
make a backup first!
I did tha but I still get installation aborted when I try to install any custom rom. This sucks
Try and dl rom manager. Rubix is free on it and that might work. It sounds like your doing it all right the other way so who knows.
and it's booting into clockwork recovery right?
might want to try to re-download rubix 1.8.6
Often imitated, never duplicated! Focused 1.8.6 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum
AC is great but that might be a better location to get some help. drod and sephtin are really responsive.
so you install this
Droid X Recovery Bootstrap - Android app on AppBrain
open it up
click bootstrap recovery
click reboot recovery
but it never boots into recovery?
It boots into recovery but whenever I try to apply the update (install the rom) it gets aborted. This is after installing the boorstrap and clicking bootstrap recovery, getting success and then rebooting into recovery.
I tried it through romanager and the same thing happened. Is there something Im missing?
Did this just now and it didn't work.boot into recovery and wipe the phone. then reboot and try again. When I have things not working right a wipe fixes them. you got the tools and your doing what is needed so thats all i can think of.
Lemme try. I might have messed up.are you applying the update using update.zip? or are you selecting the option to pick another .zip to apply?
