what color the fonts are? is it blue? if it is then its not 2e and how many options do u get just 4? u r in 3e....EDIT: Check ur Pm
Click on flash CWM recovery. Then reboot in recovery to check if it is installed. If not, pull out your battery, put it back and reboot see if this does the installation procedure.
Also, I would advise you to flash a kernel which have CWM baked in rather than using ROM Manager.
insert facepalm here
if you are on recovery 2e, flash CWM, reboot to recovery, reinstall packages, phone reboots to recovery, reinstall packages again, BAM! you are in CWM
its only covered by about 5 million tutorials on these forums, interwebs, youtube, my grandma, etc

THIS WILL NOT WORK ON UNREVOKED ROOT.
paulobrien said:
This morning, Koush and I have been working on / stumbling through getting recovery running on a Evo without using a PC for devices rooted with a test image. The same technique also applies to the Legend and Desire. Presenting...
fake-flash!
Fake-flash using a similar concept to the original root method, it launches a recovery image from the test image recovery, but instead of pushing the files from a PC, the files are extracted from an update.zip on the SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can now download and install the recovery via ROM Manager! It's a free app on the Market. Buy the premium version to support my work!
ROM Manager will ALSO install the recovery update.zip to /sdcard/update.zip. So if you ever hose your installation, simply start up in test/stock recovery mode, and navigate to apply sdcard:update.zip! And you'll be in ClockworkMod recovery!
Preparation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
ROM Manager is by FAR the easiest way to install this. It's free! Go get it! For manual installation, use the following link:

You're using unrevoked? That won't work.
thank you getting sick of having to be around a computer to change roms very much appreciated
are there any roots that work with the new .6 update? other than unrevoked?
Link doesn't work on my evo
Koush?
Can this be done from the ota update or do i have to flash back to the first original stock evo rom?
I don't see wipe davlik cache, only cache altogether. i'm assuming this wipes the dalvik as well, is this true?
Can some 1 post thr links again I cant find them
I'm speechless Great job
So do we need to rename the download in the original post to update.zip since it is something else by default?
Edit: Nevermind. ROM Manager is bad-ass (except that reboot into recovery doesn't work).

Right, you need to use that test image.
Hello!
I really need your help, I'm stuck!
I'll try to explain what happened.
I decided to change my Samsung Captivates ROM, did all stuff which was listed in tutorials 1:1.
Downloaded Clockwork recovery manager, created that update.zip file using it.
Moved my new ROM to sd card. Then selected an option "Install rom from sd card" in Clockwork recovery manager.
Phone rebooted...
And that's all, know I can't do completely nothing, I mean I just cant use volume and power buttons to select items in menu. It's just frozen.

I found similar topic, maybe this is reason?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869781
Anyway, I need you help, as that topic didn't helped me, as I dont know what people were talking about there.
I can view internal memory files using Droid Explorer, but I can't view sdcard's data to remove that update.zip...
What can I do in this situation?
Many thanks!
that is just worst day for me. After applying older version of Clockwerk, I was able to select in recovery menu.
I selected format user data, and after selected to install Fenix rom.
During installation, some kind of error occurred. And only thing i can see, it is At&t flash logo on my screen.
If I try to enter into recovery mode, power button (select) isn't working, only up and down buttons are working...
just one question:
What should i do? damnit...
installed in download mode.
Thanks to this guy, his screencasts 're just epic.
maybe it will help someone else

can you access to dawnload mod with the 3 combinations? if yes flash another rom with odin.
Ifnot if you can still acess to recovery (if u can access daawnload mod then u can access recovery) all u need is to pull your batterry and do the 3 combinations, then press installe zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card , and then YES installe zip from sd card, ENJOY!
I am aware that this is my third thread about asking questions but these questions are pretty much precise and hard to find just googling online, especially when this is my first time Rooting/Flashing ROMs.
I tried to apply the ROM and it didnt continue, it said it was aborted or something
it says
cant open \rom folder name
"bad"
Installation aborted
Hi,
U may need to give more specifics.....
Phone type?
Root method?
Which ROM is giving u the problem?
Which ROM are u currently on? Or is it ur first ROM after root?
Are u installing via recovery or ROM manager?
Lastly, I'd put this post in whichever ROM u are actually trying to flash since the development crew monitor that thread of their ROM.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
Phone type? Nexus S i9020a
Root method? manual root using command prompt in computer
Which ROM is giving u the problem? pretty much any rom, maybe Im putting it in the phone's memory the wrong way?
Which ROM are u currently on? Or is it ur first ROM after root? Im using cyberGR rom right now, but I had to do it the easy way and download it through ROM manager. Im hoping I could learn doing it manually
Are u installing via recovery or ROM manager? see above ^^^
to be honest I dont really know how to put the rom inside the phone... what I did is I just unzipped it to the folder inside the Nexus S( mounted storage to PC)
went to recovery and picked that folder, but then it says:
cant open \rom folder name
"bad"
Installation aborted
Ahh. Don't unzip it. Throw the .zip itself on the phone.

and same applies for custom themes,widgets, launchers,icons ect? How do I access it through the phone?
Any flashable zip can be installed by going to "install zip from SD card" select the zip file and it will install automatically.

If the author of the zip file says: "Flashable through CWM (Clockworkmod)" then it can be installed in this way. No unzipping required.

Are you sure you have cwm on there? Top of ROM manager, reflash cwm. Doing it manually is simpler than from manager. Just boot into recovery, wipe what you need to and install the relevant .zips.

its sounds like you dont have a custom recovery installed. if you did flash clockworkmod recovery from rom manager(i hate that app), chances are that your custom recover disappeared. try flashing cwm recovery through fastboot.
introduction
Hey guys, I was trying to figure out how to root my device so I could install CWM, so I could install jellybean or something... I totally forgot I made a one-click CWM installer.
Here is a one-click for the Defuse1.5 kernel by LinuxBozo with CWM installed. It's old, but it's a good launchpad for a stock device.
This works on Windows, Linux and Mac and Windows and Linux. Make sure you follow the in-app directions if you've never used Heimdall.
Instructions
1. reboot into Download Mode
2. click the flash button in this app
3. if any problems, repeat with flash bootloaders option checked
4. reboot into recovery
5. flash rom
6. advanced>reboot recovery you will now see a blue recovery instead of orange.
7. flash rom again

Quick question, Adam.
In step three, you had wrote, "repeat with flash bootloaders option checked."
Does this package contain GB bootloaders, being a 2.2.1 kernel?
If someone came directly from 2.2.1 and had never had a previous GB bootloader, will they see the distorted rainbow recovery?
I was not sure if this package had bootloaders.
Thanks.
Thanks, but when click on the download link I just get a page that says welcome to nginx...

But ur recovery may need to be updated.
Can u flash one of ur backups?
If so, boot up and update ur recovery.
Then just make sure u have correct ROM version for ur phone.
I hope that helps.

There I fixed the picture, but no I cant flash any of my backups because I deleted them for some reason some earlier backup was not working and the second one I delete it by accident. And the roms form my cell I have been getting the right ones from nexusshacks.com and cyanogen website. I was thinking in something more like pushing the rom thru a computers comand prompt thast my next step.

I found some tutorial in order to push the rom with command prompt but it's not working neither. does any of you know why not or if I'm doing something wrong here the link of the tutorial and at the end I posted whats what the command prompt came up with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
Do you consider updating your recovery and rom?
My next step will be using the odin called tool for restoring everything. I'll let you know how it goes.
