So I'm rooted and that OCLF installed. The update failed but says my firmware is JH7, but it's didn't really change all the way. I have run a Clockworkmod backup and downloaded the JH7.OTA.zip to my internal sd card.
I'm a noob when it comes to flashing Rom's so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Do I need to take it back to JH6 using Odin or can I just use ROM manager and install from sd card?
Thanks in advace.

I have rooted my htc inspire 4g with attn1's ace hack kit v12.3, I have placed a few rom zips on the sd card from my computer then I enter hboot, recovery, but when i try to install a rom from sd card i cant find the roms. Any help?
Are you selecting install zip from sd card? If the ROMS are on the root of the sd card they should be there in plain site.
Yes I'm selecting install from sd card but I dont see the roms anywhere.
Maybe a bad microsd card? Have you tried others?
I havent tried another sd card, but a friend said maybe soft-brick? I tried "flash cloclworkmod recovery" and it said "error while downloading from server. please make sure you have a stable internet connection, and that your sd card is inserted and has free space" wifi is connected and browser does not work either. I also flashed to stock att radio when using attn1's ace hack kit v12.3
Sounds like a bad sdcard. Try reformatting it. Get what data you can off it, if any.
That or try putting a rooted stock ROM on your SDCARD. See if the bootloader can see it. If it does... Let it load and you'll have a fully stock rooted rom with the latest updates. There's a couple threads floating around here with the download. Be sure it's named PD98IMG.zip or the bootloader won't find it. Then get Rom Manager from the market and see if it will flash CWM Recovery.
It could be something didn't quite go right while rooting.

I found one if you still need it.

I fixed it, thanks to attn1 and anthony1s, I overlooked when I put the zip files on my sd card, I put .lnk files instead the actual .zip file. So I deleted the shortcuts and used the .zip files and am now good to go. This thread can be closed, my problem is resolved.
Hi all,
I am a noob, first post. I purchased my XOOM (WiFi version) one week ago. I was led to believe it was stock (it is 2 mo. old) and have discovered that it has been rooted and modded. Here is the Device Info:
Android Version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.4-Tiamat_Xoom-v2.1.0-Tachi-StockGPU-gcef3887
It did not come with an SD card. I purchased one today (16gb). Are there critical files missing that were on the original sd card?! Thanx in advance.
To further clarify; if I wish to factory reset the device, are there files that I will need on the sd card other than a current backup?
the stock xoom didnt come with an sd card. it didnt even support it initally. hitting the restore to default button will not remove your root.

What exactly do you want to do with your Xoom? It is great to already be rooted and that Tachi kernel is a big improvement over stock. Do you just want to clean out the previous owners stuff and make it more yours? Or do you want to go back to a pure stock state?
That is a good question. I guess my main concern is that I am able to mod my device without any problems that the previous owner may have caused by removing critical files on the SD card. I'm a little paranoid as I am just beginning to learn.
I discovered a clockworkmod recovery file "recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-stingray.img" in the internal memory. I don't understand what that file is. Is this a stock recovery file?

ClockworkMod recovery is a custom recovery. It is installed when rooting and is a great improvement over the stock recovery because it allows you to make a complete system image so you can experiment with new rom or kernel and always be able to restore to a previous state if you're dissatisfied or if something goes wrong. Also, with the right version you can save files to your external micro sdcard [you purchase it.it does not come with the Xoom] and flash them through your CWM recovery menu. However, version 4.0.0.4, the one you have installed, doesn't recognize the external sdcard. You will need to install version 3.2.0.0 R4c.
Thanks for the info, I will install version 3.2.0.0 R4c. Looks like the previous owner saved me some work.
Hi I am having trouble installing roms on my g2x. I currently have 2.3.3 and have rooted the phone and flashed clockworkmod 5.0. After this i tried flashing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
using the method and it said file cannot be found when i click on the folder in directory.
I also tried the darksinister_1.3.zip but no luck.
Is it the CWM or the rom? I also tried extracting the files on pc and transfering them on sd card and opening them through CWM. Would appreciate if someone can tell me how to install one of these froyo roms.
Where did you put your file? CWM 5.0.x.x has it's backup in _externalsd>clockworkmod>backup

Hello, my phone is rooted and unlocked but unfortunately I'm stuck without a way to rom my phone back to operation (4.0.4). I made the mistake of not keeping a backup or rom on my internal sdcard . Clockworkmod doesn't seem to work when you try and mount the sdcards in recovery
I decided to try the jellybean rom which for some reason doesn't have the play store on it which I cannot install astro so I can copy a new rom over within the os.
I didn't leave any roms on my internal sd card , I cannot mount the internal or external sdcard CWM recovery to copy a new rom and install (running 6.0 CMW) , I've attempted to find a solution to flashing ANY rom back onto my phone via ODIN but no luck.
are their roms available in md5 / tar format that I've overlooked?
Thank you so much!
You may need to flash with a PIT file included with stock rom tar. Look around for a PIT FILE. I don't know if anyone has one posted

did you download GAPPS??? thats probably why you dont have a play store
^^^^^^ that's probably true. If you want to change roms with Odin, there are a handful of Odinable files around. Do you want to go back to an unrooted or rooted rom? Also, what happens when you try to access your SD card (internal or external) from CWM? And where did you get the CWM you are currently running?
There are links to ODINable stock images and the like at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. You should be able to restore your phone to an out-of-the-box state with the information and directions provided.
just do a quick search
I have one of the custom ICS roms installed on my TF300T and want to install the offical JB release.
I downloaded the WW version from here: http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
What then? I read somewhere you put it on an SD Card then reboot and it should detect it? Does it have to be an SD card? I put in onto the root of the internal memory but nothing happens if I reboot. Do I need to rename it, update.zip or something?
I doubt I should use the recovery to flash it, or is it as simple as that?
