Manually renaming files on old recovery images
From CyanogenMod Wiki
Recorded for posterity and formatted from edit to Upgrading From Older CyanogenMod or other rooted ROMs from 80.79.35.10.
The below applies if you are on an old version of cm-recovery and are attempting to sequentially install the HTC ADP ota "Recovery Image" followed by the CyanogenMod update.zip. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade your cm-recovery to 1.4, thereby removing the need to follow any of the below steps.
If using DRC83 or another 1.6 factory image substitute its filename in place of signed-*-ota-*.zip.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT CONFIRMED TO BE WORKING
In case you only have the option Alt-S to apply update.zip from sdcard, you need to manually rename the zip files.
[edit] First File: signed-*-ota-*.zip
- Start by pressing Alt-X to go to the console.
- Now you first have to type "mount sdcard".
- After mounting the sdcard, you have to go to the sdcard directory using "cd sdcard".
- Now rename the first zip file to update.zip using "mv signed-*-ota-*.zip update.zip".
- Go to the first directory again by typing "cd ..".
- Unmount the directory again by typing "umount sdcard".
- Type "recovery" to get into the recovery mode again.
- Now press Alt-S and apply the update.zip.
- After this the phone will reboot. Immediately press and hold the Home button to return to the recovery image.
[edit] Second File: update-cm-4.2.*-signed.zip
- Go into the console again using Alt-X and mount the sdcard again using "mount sdcard".
- Change directory again using "cd sdcard"
- Backup the 1.6 image using "mv update.zip adpotaimage.zip".
- Rename the cyanogenmod update file using "mv update-cm-4.2.*-signed.zip update.zip".
- Change back to the root directory again, type "cd ..".
- Unmount the sd again using "umount sdcard".
- Type "recovery" to return to the recovery screen again.
- Press Alt-S to update again.
- Now reboot the phone and wait a while to see the new os boot up
