Complete Noob Cant Install Theme

[tkz]

Searched for the answer but its gotta be something very simple im missing. Trying to use the Aurora base skin,it contains:

imgbattery
imgcommon
imgebook
imgexplorer
imggame
imgimage
imgmain
imgmovie
imgmusic
imgsetting
imgtestmode
imgutil
imgall.gpu

Tried running the .gpu with all the ways i know but it dont seem to do anything, what am i missing? are there differences on how to install specific skin types? Excuse my noobness,

Any help appreciated.

All you need to do is extract all the files in the skin .zip to a folder and run imgall.gpu from the utility menu.

i put it all in its own folder on the sd card and ran the .gpu from the utility menu, the screen goes black for maybe 1/2 a second and returns me to the main menu. Isnt this supposed to give me a nice looking main menu page? Anyone know what im doing wrong? All ive done on it before was update the firmware to 1.0.1 to 1.1.0, i first used the updater that u dont need a sd card to do, i then saw the firmware update at the bottom of the firmware update page so used that one next, maybe this did something bad ?

put the folders and the gpu at the root of the card and not in their own folder

They work fine in their own folder.

the skin was in \skins\Aurora Base Skin\ when i 1st tried, then i tried \Aurora Base Skin\, then \ (in the root of the sd card) but got the same results from all of them, about 1/2 second of black screen then back to the main menu (with the default skin).

Thought i better mention that i couldnt get the gp2x to work using the usb cable from it to my windows server 2003 pc, so i used the little white usb card reader to put the stuff on the card, would this make any difference?

Any ideas?

You have to go to Tools->NAND->SysUtils->NAND_unlock. And then install the skin. Your NAND is mounted read-only so no wonder it isn't working.
