Before I start, please don't just respond to this thread saying how much of an idiot I am. I know this was unwise but it made sense at the time. With that
So I have a Motorola Triumph and I was trying to get Gingerbread on it so I could test apps I make in Unity (which only goes down to 2.3.1). Anyway I was following this tutorial and I followed along with the instructions until the "Installing a Custom ROM" section.
Now I didn't totally disregard the instructions at this point. In fact, I was trying to follow them until my phone was destroyed (read on). So it said I needed to download the ROM and then move the file to a folder on my phone's SD card or just download it directly to the phone. I tried the latter but the phone refused to download the file (CM7-TG-Reloaded) saying that the phone did not support the file type.
So I decided to take the former route and download it on my computer and then transfer it to the phone's SD card. The problem was that when I plugged my phone into my computer (iMac 2007 OS X Yosemite), it did not show up. I tried unplugging it and entering download mode and it did show up on my computer. I tried exiting download mode again (by removing battery) and plugging it in again. It did not show up so I went back into download mode and tried to drag in the CM7-TG-Reloaded ROM in the drive that came up (I guess the SD card???). When I tried, I got the following alert:
This surprised me but it was understandable. So, because I'm not TOTALLY stupid, I duplicated the contents on the drive and then deleted in from the drive and tried dragging in the new ROM again. This is where everything when south.
I got the same alert again! Crap! But I was alright since I made a backup! Right? I tried dragging in THE SAME FILES I HAD JUST DELETED MOMENTS AGO and guess what?!
CRAP! WHAT DO I DO?! HOW CAN THERE NOT BE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE FILES THAT WERE THERE MOMENTS AGO????!!!!!!????!!!!???!!! HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
P.S. amss.mpn was the first item in the list so that is why it is in the alert.
