i have a sidekick 4g I've rooted it and i tried to go to CWM recovery but it takes me to the stock recovery. i looked around and found that i have to put this file into /system/bin but i can't find that? Ive tried astro, stock file manager, and other file managers. what can i do so i can get CWM so i can flash a rom?
**Ive had experiences with flashing rome with the myTouch 4G , which was way easier then the sidekick .
Thanks for helping !
Do you have root explorer?

Hi guys,
I want to know if there is any way to enter the clockworkrecovery from the recovery console. I tried doing this but get an error that the zip is not signed. I want to flash roms on my phone.
I also came accross androidcommander, but don't know how to use it. Please help.

What custom ROM? I hope you aren't trying to flash a i9000 ROM onto this.
Nope, I came across an HTC sense and some i9000 live wallpapers and to install them we need to flash their zip files from the recovery mode. The 3e recovery mode performs sign check and that's an head ache. Every time the update.zip fails to install.
Use adb or root explorer or any file manager with root access and having ability for mounting system partition.

I have made a topic here asking for help to port ClockworkMod Recovery to our phone. Which version (phone) of ClockworkMod is giving you this error? Will you please link me to it?

all version cause the stock recovery doesn't let you install unsigned or non samsung signed zip
I have an inspire that I got T-mobile working on it and after I rooted the phone i didn't flash it to a custom rom. So now I want to get ClearDroid in it, but when I tried to go to ROM manager there wasn't a pop-up saying there's an update for clockworkmod recovery.
Now I don't know how to get clockworkmod installed. I've tried looking in the forums for solutions but still no luck. I also want to know if I did something wrong with the rooting.
I would really appreciate the help.
Wel can you tell me what the first entry is in your rom manager? Mine is flash clockwork recovery. Give that a go and see if it works for you.
What root method did you use? I used ACE HACK KIT and if I recall it put a clockwork recovery on my device.
Spark is correct...hack kit does add a clockwork recovery. Start adb and type adb reboot recovery to boot into it. Or, install Droid explorer on your pc and click tools, install custom ROM.

I used Bubby's simple root program. It's weird tho because I first used it on another inspire and I was able to root it and flash it to another ROM. The second time I rooted on a different inspire(the one with the T-mobile) I can't flash it to a different ROM.
I've confirmed with root checker that the phone is rooted and I was thinking if it's advisable if I should root it again.
One more thing when I tried to go into boot mode and there was an orange blinking light. I just took out the battery and got it working again. What I heard is that it could be a sign of semi-bricking the phone.
Might be best to flash back to stock using the RUU in Bubby's one click, however, you may lose the ability to use T-mobile. I'll think about it after I get some sleep.

I was also thinking about flashing back into stock and after that just try to root everything again to work with T-Mobile
I Just rooted my Sidekick 4G and its great but I want to install a rom on it . When I use rom manger and try to get clockwork recovery it says I downloaded but when I boot into recovery It dosent give me the option to choose the rom zip file . Please help
I cant get my sidekick to flash anything. First off, I have rooted it using 2 different methods and Android Commander wont say it has root access so I cant push the Recovery binary file.
I have a few different roms ive been dying to try but everytime I flash them I get soft bricked at the samsung screen. I cleared the data and made sure it matched everything posted but still no luck because of the binary.
I have Odin'd back to stock KD1 2.2.1. Please point me in the right direction, I cant even ADB push it because its saying no root access but I clearly have SU on my phone, and I also tried downloading both busyboxes and rom manager.
You have this posed in the wrong part and what cwm do you have red or orange

Please search next time.
also, please note that this is a FAKE FLASH, which means that when you reboot into recovery, it will look like a stock recovery until you press the "reinstall packages" button.
I am having the same issues as you cwm doesn't even work have the time only rom that I can get half way working is clean fusion v3 other roms I have tried
Gingerclone v2 and 1(got soft bricked)
Smooth maximus x (got soft bricked)
Clean fusion v3 (working szo far)
Also in cwm I can't even do a reset without it hanging at formatting android.secure nor can I do an nandroid backup with out it faling on backing up boot image
Any help at all?

Im not too sure about all this yet, but one I downloaded the recovery binary file I extracted that, put that on my sd card then moved it to the /system/bin folder using Root Explorer and that fixed any problems I had.
As for clockwork, just install it from the 2nd link here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453)
put that in your SD card, hold power up vol and down until you get to recovery then install packages then go from there, just make sure you unmount the sd card from CWM.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong:
a) ATT Infuse Phone is rooted using SuperOneClick;
b) downloaded ES File Explorer and ROM Manager;
c) ZEUS Build 3 zip file is in root folder of my sd card;
d) backed up everything with Titanium Backup;
e) placed the 3e recovery no sig check recovery file into my system/bin folder;
When I try to reboot into CWM recovery, it goes into the "blue" 3e Android recovery. When I install packages, I get an error message.
Then when trying to flash ROM through ROM Manager, I cause a Samsung bootloop, and have needed to flash back to Odin to unbrick my phone.
Is my problem related to the fact I'm flashing from stock froyo? Do I need to change the kernel (not sure what this means) prior to flashing the Rom? Why can't I get the CWM bootloader instead of the "stock" blue Android screen?
thanks in advance - sorry, am a newbie and this isn't my thing.

Is it normal when I flash GTG's community kernel, that my phone starts talking to me and saying something about 10 minutes?? It just scared the #$# out of me, and has been sitting in the Samsung boot screen for a few minutes.
Holy #@$$, that voice is scary. It looks like the kernel worked...
Freaked me out the first time too lol

You need to install the community kernel, then download sgs kernel from the market and install. I had this same problem and this was the answer! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220090
Follow these instructions and make sure you download this http://www.multiupload.com/1E3AWIQYAA if your coming FROM froyo.
Move the file to your internal sd card, then use sgs kernel to install. The sgs was a little tricky, but you'll see the file in there to flash.
Hey thanks for asking DroidNooby! I was searching the forums for "bootloaders" because the Zeus thread said "MUST BE ON GB BOOTLOADERS." All I found was a bunch of people sounding as confused as I was asking "how do i install?"
I was beginning to think it was an inside joke of the Infuse forums lol.
Odin one of the gb leaks (that'll give you boot loaders). Then odin a gb kernel with a recovery. Uncheck reboot before flashing kernel. Then boot up into recovery and flash.
