Mac I believe automatically unzips downloads. You will need to rezip it then transfer it to your sdcard. If you are on Wifi, it might be easier to download it direct to your phone if you are unfamiliar with archiving files

did your mac automatically unzip it? I hear that is a common occurrence.

Edit: alright, Xtreme pulled an Ocn on me.

Thanks ill try it i rezipped it and its called MikG-v3.zip and i just didn't download it on my phone because my internet is really slow.

good luck, I think that is it, but wiser heads than I will prob appear shortly.

Welcome to the forums, by the way.

Also, have you checked out the rooting for dummies stickie, especially Life after root?

It will tell you about changing recoveries to amon ra, a reliable recovery, and wiping well before flashing and flashing roms and kernels.

I'd give the stock kernel a try with that rom, works great on my phone.

edit: yep, actually appeared BEFORE I did...

so after i zipped the file and put it in my phone i tried to flash it but it says can't find update script

 

[dustwun77]

did you go into recovery?

 

[king94]

did you go into recovery?

ya i went into recovery, backed up a nandroid, wiped the cache, dalvik, and data and i tried to flash and it aborted with that message, and i have zip on my phone its called PC36IMG.zip is that another rom because I've used a different rom before but i might not have deleted it.

You can try to disable the auto unzip for your browser. Try out one of these and see if any of them work:

yeah, should delete or rename that one,

i will just try to download it again tomorrow now that i changed the settings on my mac. ill just have to stick with my original rom for now.

 

[dustwun77]

yeah, getting late.

Just use the link in my sig and download straight to your phone

Well I have a MBP but it doesnt automatically unzip my files unless i double click on it. I dont use safari though i use chrome.

thanks for the link I downloaded it on my phone and it worked. thanks everyone for helping! btw i have the tiamet kernel should i flash that or just stick with the mikg kernel?

 

[Rxpert83]

Tiamat is an AOSP Kernel. You need a sense Kernel


I would download and flash Lithids Aggressive Freedom Universal kernel ( ROM & Kernel download page)

 

[MizzouBrent]

Your options for kernels on MikG are:

1) Freedom (universal, not the synergy godmode or synergy nightly version)
- comes in aggressive, more, less and stock voltages
2) Chop Suey
3) Golden Monkey (severely outdated IMHO)
4) Anthrax (pulled from XDA)
5) Stock

thanks ill try them out!
