you can bootloader as well
to use cmd go into bootloader(screen when hold vol - + power) then just click power 1 time
then typin cmd: [command] adb push your-rom.zip /sdcard
note that the rom must be in same folder as adb
or use the flash command with adb wich im very sorry for that i forgot

I am a little confused about how to update the ROM. Is it simply loading on boatloader and install the zip?

the PG58IMG needs to be in root of sd then boot by bootloader let it update then remove it from sd by sd reader plugged into pc then rom in root flash it and you get the rom working
MAKE SURE FIRMWARE AND ROM MATCH
1.17 GB roms
3.24 ICS roms

how did it go?

[Q] "Installation Aborted" error message in clockwork mod

i go into recovery from rom manager to flash a ROM or a kernel but i keep getting an error saying installation aborted with an open android and a red triangle.

Possibly a bad download. Try checking the MD5 Sum.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Can be also an incompatibility with CWM recovery. If you re-download and have problems again, try chaning your recovery.

I unrooted ,locked the boot loader and again rooted installed the twrp recovery still I get the same error .... Even when I download busybox form market it does not install it says I'm not rooted . But i am able to flash kernels but not roms ..

Are you sure that the rom is zipped well?

I was wondering if it was zipped well, cause CWM rom signature is disabled, so I tried zipping with WinRAR instead of 7zip but to no avail.
Does the fact that I had to OVERWRITE files in order to modify the updater script change something ? If I understand correctly from the thread you pointed to, META INF lists the files the zip should contain. Since I had to overwrite some, I guess it's normal that install fails, right ?
Damnit! All because I cant get the ray to self identify as ST18i or ST18a but instead I dont know why it says it's a ST18..

This happened to me once, because I wiped my sd card. To bypass this, I erased the first line of the build prop in the rom, so cwm (or twrp) will not check if the device is compatible with the rom.

[Q]

So I realize I did something stupid and I'm hoping I can fix it. I was in the process of rooting and installing a new ROM on my brothers phone. I made it S-off, and I didn't want clockwork recovery so I just skipped that. I updated the firmware so I can put an ICS ROM on it and now it's stuck in a bootloop I would imagine because there is no recovery on there. Can I fix this somehow? How do I install a Recovery when I don't have a recovery?
Thanks

you can install recovery from bootloader/fastboot and then rom from the recovery
here follow the post #2 from this guide to do that

What about download mode aka odin mode

download mode is not required for HTC phones.. we can flash stuff from bootloader
to go to bootloader
power off phone then remove battery ,reinsert it ..then hold power + volume down button ..will take you to bootloader ..there you can flash the recovery ..and a lot

So I downloaded the pg58img file and put it on the root of my SD card. went into bootloader and it saw the file but for some reason didn't give me the option to install anything. Any idea why or what I did wrong?

No. RUU is a last option.
This is way too simple for that.

Just need to flash a recovery; preferably 4ext. (only step 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345)
Then nandroid backup from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Backup | Restore > Backup)
Then put an ICS ROM on SD Card using the Toggle USB Storage" option (main menu of 4ext > Toggle USB Storage)
Then format all partitions except SD Card from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Format | Wipe > Format all partitions (except SD Card) )
Then flash the ICS ROM from the recovery (main menu of 4ext > Install zip > Choose zip from SD Card).
Simple as that.

Noob question about weird problem updating to jb

Hi Guys:
I have a doubt.
I had installed cm9 rc2 on a nexus s i9023 then i used a backup to revert to stock ics 4.04 and received the OTA update.
But when it was about to install i got the following message
Install untrusted package-----> this was in the upper part of the screen
THIS CAN BE UNDONE------->
CLOCKwordkmod recovery v6.0.0.7
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file package signature
E: siganture verification failed
After that i choose to go ahead an the update installed
It also asked me to disable recovery !
is the unsigned package cmw 6... or am i wrong and i have installed a no official rom?
Help me to clarify was going on !

I could bar wrong, but you may have signature verification enabled within CWM. And also, you are given the option to keep CWM upon flashing the official update.

i have check an signature verification is disable in cwm but i think that the update when throw stock recovery (android guy in the background) that's why i think that the package that the message refres is cmw, but my question is why? What does have to do cwm with the update if the stock recovery was working?

Did you use stock recovery to flash? If so, my opinion on stock recovery isn't good. Lol.

Double check !, CMW Recovery was used !
Check twice with OTA and manually updating with the update file place in sd card
Same result !
Guess it happens because of CMW Recovery as you alreday told me , maybe CWM does not recognize the signature or something !
Guess learn something new today !
Thanks man !

Wrong ROM, can't install stock anymore?

Hi,

So I wanted to install the original software, I downloaded from the Huawei site. But I am unable to install this with TWRP.. when I select the .zip it says "Failed"
I have no idea what I've done to my phone.. I hope someone can help me out.

You can not install original Software with a Custom Recovery....do unroot and flash the Stock Recovery und try again...and unzip the Rom and do the update.app into the dload folder on the SD Card

I got stock recovery now, but there are not really many options in there..
"Reboot system now"
"Wipe data/factory reset"
"Wipe cache partition"
I tried the factory reset, with no result..
Update: well now I have the stock recovery and I cannot connect my device and boot adb bootloader anymore... it says there are no devices connected. Please help!!
Update 2: Okay I found something to unbrick, I had to press volume UP+DOWN now it says Huawei software installing, hopefully this will work.

Okay, I installed stock rom, then I installed update found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/beta-ascend-mate-7-b513-mt7-l09-t3309727) Now running 6.0, my next question is how do I get TWRP or CWM or any Recovery flashed to my phone, which works. Worked with 5.1, tried those but that is not working and keeps bootlooping. I hope someone can help.
