thanks Doo Doo. thats a different recovery though... tryin to stay with CWM lol
Wrong forum but I'll tell ya anyway. For future reference, something like this should be in the Q&A forum.
Download touch recovery.
Put recovery.img in a PD98IMG.zip.
Make sure PD98IMG.zip is in root of sdcard.
Power off phone.
Hold volume down + power to boot into bootloader.
Allow bootloader to find image.
Volume up to install.
Reboot.
Or you can use ADB to flash recovery but someone else will have to tell ya how...or..
Umm...
Google it.

Yeah, I tried it just to see how it was (even buy it but for support of the dev), but 4ext is much better and that's why most of the guys round here doesn't even know that the CWM touch exists...As you say, since I have 4ext (wich came with CoreDroid) I not looking back...

You won't be able to flash the PD98IMG.zip with just the .img file in it. Look for the .txt file inside the Hack Kit (tools folder and recovery) and use it to make you own zip file. Then you will be able to flash it...
But, listen to Doo Doo, 4ext is way much better. I have actually tried both...but currently using the later.

Yeah I forgot about the .txt file...I'm so used to using the PD98IMG that I have...it already has all that in it.
Here's a link to a PD98IMG that he can use if he checks back. It has the .txt file in it.

+1 for 4EXT recovery
You can get it installed with no additional effort by trying Android Revolution HD from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964841
It will install 4EXT recovery automatically.
It has way more features than CWM, you're using the touchscreen, you can format all phone partitions to EXT4 (keeping the sdcard the way it is) then you can install any ROM you want (ICS, Cyanogen) and keep all the goodies.
I'm glad I did!

Check your PM.
Restore your nandroid backup, you know the one you should always make before flashing a new rom (especially a new kernel)
dont know what that is i got the phone as is with the rom on it already..

Do you know if you have Amon_Ra recovery or Cyan 1.4?
Download Cyanogens rom (the one you had before) extract the boot.img (use Winrar)
Copy it to the phone. (boot.img)
Go to the console in recovery mode.
Type
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
reboot
Or flash a new rom.
im sorry i dont get the "flash" term.. again i got the phone this way and dont know what to do to flash it

Flash is the same as install, the 10MB hack isn't for Rogers only normal Dreams/G1s.Just go into recovery mode again and look for an option called wipe. Then you can flash the ROM again assuming its on your SD.
But you managed to flash a second kernel image to add the ram hack ?
I have company tonight (due any minute) so I cant help too much, if I could I would do for free anyways.
But you need to find a guide detailing how to flash a custom rom, and follow it.
You should already have a recovery image and what not, so you only need to download the update.zip, copy it to the sdcard and use the "Flash update.zip" (or similar option)
I would say use something like Super D as its easier to use because you dont have to worry about doing the google apps manually.
I am sure some kind soul will help you out with a more detailed how too.
i dont think i have the file on the sd card i have a fil called update 4.2.14.1 and a rom called fasttest..
Just use this:

You owe us all money.
Here's my input: Wipe, flash rom, and don't flash the 10mb ram hack.
I changed to the New Clockworkmod touch recovery but noticed there is no mount USB option anymore.
Is there anyway to get this?

Download 4ext updater (free) or 4ext control (paid) from market.
Choose online installation /upgrade inside the app.
Take the version you like and hit install now.
Done.

Before that, it tries to pull some update.zip.

The new CWM works with both A510 and A511.
Remember, after you have full root and /System RW, you must delete the boot-recovey.p file, or whatever the heck they name it. Might even be an sh file.
Otherwise, when you install your CWM, and you boot to your stock rom, the CWM recovery gets overwritten and replaced with Acer Stock Recovery. This is why it attempted to look for an "update.zip".
I believe this is mentioned in several places.

okay so i have a old android phone (1.6 donut) (rooted) Htc tattoo/click i want to install clockworkmod recovery and then flash cm7 with 2.3 gingerbread so i can overclock it and maybe i dont know i need a custom kernel?
so can anyone help me to get clockworkmod recovery to work?
Here you go. I'm not going to kill you over not searching, sometimes it can seem like a vast ocean of info and be overwhelming, but you can run a search for the tatoo/click forum and usually in ANY forum the rooting/flashing stuff is stickied to the development forum.
Just wanted to give you a heads up for easier searching next time, here's the link you need.

CWM is "ClockWorkMod recovery" it is a custom recovery. Download the ROM again and try again, it might be failing the MD5 check.
Check out that thread for the latest recovery version etc...

THEN flash CM7 ROM, then full wipe + cache + Dalvik, then flash gapps, then restart. (just my personal preferred order)
edit: i would just flash it via adb
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
then just type adb reboot recovery and flash ROM
hi there, as the title says im in real deep trouble. To start off i rooted my phone which want a problem, but then i tried installing a rom which wasnt a problem either.

Can you go into Bootloader/Fastboot? (Volume Down + Power)
EDIT: Read your other thread. You need to flash a stock recovery. You can do that via fastboot. Flash a stock recovery, format SD card, then flash a custom recovery again and you should be good to go.
Process of flashing any recovery is easy. Refer to the method in my signature, you just need to follow the RECOVERY FLASHING PART ONLY.
Other necessary info is also available.

Great. Now you have a stock recovery. Just format the SD Card from recovery and the SD should be good.
Afterwards, you can flash any custom recovery and mess around with flashing ROMs etc.

Download This. Open the zip file with 7-Zip or WinRAR, go to firmware.zip, extract recovery.img.
Then flash the recovery in the same way. This is the stock recovery and not TWRP.
I am assuming your phone to be S3 and updated to Jellybean already.
