Bored with stock eclair? Want to install froyo(or custom rom) on a60?But confused with all methods???[/COLOR]
So you are at right place.
Today i will tell you how to install custom recovery on a60 and flash a custom rom.
First of all, you have to download a rom from following available roms for a60:-
1). Jet rom 2.2(froyo) 'rolling out soon'
2). Jet rom 2.1(froyo)
3). Cyborg rom 2.1(froyo)
4). Freek rom v3(froyo) 'rolling on 25 may.'
5).Freek rom v2(froyo)
6).kul rom v1,2 (froyo)
7). Sense rom(eclair)
8). Ice cream sandwich rom(eclair)
Disclamer: Not comparing roms at all.
STEP - 1
:First step in installing custom rom is rooting your a60.
Before it, you should know, what does rooting means?
“Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money (ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device.
You install software "root and me" from play store to know more about rooting.
For rooting a60, you should install software universal androot from:-
http://www.4shared.com/android/O-aYPeg8/Universal_Androot_162_beta_5.html
Open androot and then click on go root..
wuhu, your device will be rooted

Now, next step is installing busybox.
Download app "busybox installer" from play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
STEP - 3
Now, download clockworkmod 5, made by ngage_me fo our device from:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559347
Dont forget to click thanks on thread.
STEP - 4
Now download recovery manager from:-
http://android.podtwo.com/recoverymanager (click on RecoveryManager_v0.37b.zip) amd extract zip and install apk normally.
this will help you to install custom recovery.
Now follow this picture guide:-[
1.Click on recovery in app menu.
2.There click on install recovery.
wait for some time, while app search for all .img files on your sd card.
3.Then click on recovery image name of ngage_me, you downloaded earlier.
4.Let app install recovery when installing comes and then message will come
"current recovery: unrecognised"
5.Now click on reboot into recovery in app.
And you will be in recovery after some time.
*If device is stuck on micromax logo for more than 4 minutes, take battery out, and switch on phone normally. Then repeat step 1-5 for installing recovery. It will work foresure.
STEP - 5
Now you are booted in clockworkmod 5.
Now next question comes, How to use recovery and flash a rom?
First thing to do in recovery is to go to "backup and restore option" and then click on backup your current rom and data. If any thing goes wrong, then this backup(nandroid) will help you to get phone in state it was before.
You can restore this backup from "backup and restore option"
(Make sure you have 300 mb free in sdcard for backup.)
Then, in main menu, click on wipe data before flashing custom rom.
After that, go to "install zip from sdcard" and then choose zip(flashable rom/zip). and let it finish.
When message "zip installation completed" will come, reboot your android(may take 5-10 minutes), and congratulations you are in froyo.

Your point added in thread.
Your new CWM for 2012 sold a60's is not working, i flashed it, & its not showing up while pressing the power+home combination (maybe it's erasing the recovery partition, but not extracting in it), by the way i tested it on a new a60, maybe a week's old, flashed it using the busy box -> recovery manager method..& it's running the stock eclair..
..Another hing i noticed and is worth sharing, the old stock recovery (for a60s manufactured before 2012) also does'nt work the way it's supposed to, it shows up, but can't initiate a wipe or apply any signed update.zip..
..We all our counting on you!!, keep up your good work!! by the way, count on my support in the form of thanks and tesings..

Btw, recovery is made by ngage_me.
But thing you, it doesn't initate a wipe is not dependent on recovery, it depends on rom you are flashing.
And second thing, there's no way to sign rom till now for recovery, even if you will flash rom through stock recovery, it will not be flashed.
Hey Bro I am having some issue flashing Jet 2.1. I have rooted the device, installed the busy box, flashed the modded recovery. When the reboot the phone in recovery mode, it does goes in the recovery mode but shows the a log "E: Failed to find cache partition to mount at "/cache"

Before people can help you, you need to give more information.
What is the model for your phone and is it rooted?
If so, what ROM is it running and what custom recovery do you have?

Ok you can't "apply sdcard:update.zip" because even though you rooted your phone, you don't have a custom recovery. You have the stock recovery image that comes with your phone. This means that every zip you try to "apply" or flash will automatically be checked for a signature (to make sure its a valid update from the manufacturer). Since the ROMs usually don't have signatures, it won't work
Never mind about finding out the ROM. since you have a stock recovery, it looks like you haven't put any custom ROM on it. you are running the stock android OS that came with the phone.
It seems your OS got messed up when you tried to root the phone. The One Click root method you used I believe wasn't fully compatible with your phone. You should have used "Universal Root." Anyway, Give me a day or two. I will see If I can find you an official zip belonging to your manufacturer. THAT you can push back onto your phone and get your OS back and in working order.
Cheers!
P.S: Check if there is an option in recovery mode called "Toggle Signature verification" I doubt it but if there is it would DEFINITELY help you.

I'd recommend changing to CWM recovery via rom manager if you need to toggle verification. Rom manager from the market will flash a recovery for you also.

downloading the zip
rename to update.zip
format sd card
copy update.zip to sd card
start in recovery mode
try to start update
... and get a varification failed error
Has somebody a working update.zip, or can say where can I get it and if my steps are right?
1. If your update.zip is not official(signed) then you can't update your device.
Download this and rename this file to update.zip and retry.
Its a signed update.zip

You may have the wrong version of CWM recovery installed. You need Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c. If you are trying to flash thru Rom manager it may have had you update to v4.0.0.4 which is not compatible with the external sdcard. If this is the case, re-install the correct recovery version, and then redo your backup so that it is on the external sdcard where it can be safe if you need to wipe/factory reset. You can use Rom manger just to reboot into recovery, or df Quick Boot from the market and use that instead.
Good luck!

Rom manager says it is 4.0.0.4 but when in recovery is say CWM recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm or Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c ( I don't remember exectly) and the error is the same.
Also, I tried reflash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.zip from the SD card and get an error.
I really don't have a clue of what to do.
Any help would be welcome.

The problem is that you can't flash anything from the external sdcard with v4.0.0.4. In rom manager, see if you can find"all clockwork recoveries" and find 3.2.0.0. If not, find 3.0.2.8 or 3.0.2.5 and flash one of them, preferably the latest of those I have listed. I think those will at least recognize your sdcard. If you can't do that, you will need to reflash the correct recovery the same way you did when you rooted. Remember, never flash a zip file through adb.
Good luck!
I tried to flash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img via adb.
I could flash boot sector. Then I reboot into recovery and try to apply zip from card with file update_US-Xoom-WiFi-3.2-HTJ85B-from-HMJ37_stachre_solarnz-boot-img_v05.zip, but there is a NO at the end of the name of the file and I can't go on.
Trying to rename as update.zip and run apply zip from card results in same error:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
what should I do?
Thank you
possible bad download... download again... also, don't think this would be an update... leave it as originally named, just choose the option to choose which zip file to install from the sd card

It sounds like you are flashing recovery ok, but you keep overwriting it with the stock recovery.
Here is some important information that should help a lot with making your new recovery "stick"and this was taken from the Idiot's guide to flashing...in the Development section, and originally written by publicanimal:
4. Install recovery image (CWM)
Download the recovery image file and save it to your computer
Boot into flash mode with 'adb reboot bootloader'
Install your downloaded recovery image
C:\Documents and Settings\Anders> fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Restart the device with 'fastboot reboot'. Timing is essential here, so be alert when the device restarts, or you will have to redo this section
Enter CWM with the following procedure
Once the Motorola logotype is shown, start counting to 3. At 3, press the Volume Down button. This should result in the text 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner. If it does not work, experiment with the timing ...
When 'Android Recovery' is shown press the Volume Up button. This should invoke the CWM recovery menu. If that works, then congratulations for reaching this far .
Here is a potential pitfall. If you are unable to enter CWM *before* the device boots into Honeycomb, then the newly installed recovery image will be overwritten by the system default recovery. If that happens, or if you see "starting fastboot protocol " your timing wasn't right and you need to reflash the recovery image and try it again.
See original post,below for more information.

Hi, i received HTC sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 update. I tried to update it but it stuck on boot screen. Restarting didn't help. So I wiped all the data but later realised I no longer have clockworkmod installed.
I go to hboot and try to put recovery on sdcard through adb, but adb cant find my device.
Is there anything I can do? My phone is pretty messed up now, and I don't know what to do RUU also doesn't work, because my phone can't be found.
// #1 OK I managed to install clockworkmod through the Android Flasher. I've downloaded BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip but I cant install it through the clockworkmod. It says:
"E:Error in /sdcard/BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted."
// #2 sorry to bother.. I disabled the verification check in clockworkmod, installed su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and then custom ROM.. everything now works fine. Of course with the help of tutorials on xda and great people over here.
This was the worst 4 hours in my live as I thought my phone is bricked.
good for u man

You don't appear alone with problem, so thanks for re-editing the thread post to provide updates, if you have the time and could try to add any URLs and links to the files that you used to resolve your issues, then that would be great!
I've already several threads where it appears the update has put others in the same position, so your update could prove to be a useful resource assisting the recovery of others!
Cheers.

Install ClockworkMod:
What you need to do is get the phone to fastboot and connect it to the PC via USB.
Launch and update Android Flasher. Choose your phone and browse for recovery image (recovery.img that you have unzipped)
Click finish and wait. Clockworkmod should by installed.
Get files on the phone:
Go to recovery
Mounts and storage menu
Mount USB storage
Then copy files (custom ROM you want to install and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) from PC to SD card
Install Root:
Go to recovery
Install zip from SD card
Toogle signature verification (disable it)
Choose zip from card and install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Choose zip from card and install custom ROM
Optional steps? (right after installing clockworkmod)
Go to recovery
Wipe data
Go to advanced
Mounts and Storage menu
Format /sdcard
That's it. Hope it helps.
OK - So I've flashed the latest Primo-s (V4.0) custom ROM and still having a few bugs - I've read through the forum that flashing the new firmware will help get rid of these bugs that I am experience. I have downloaded the firmware and placed it within the route folder on my SD care however, When I try to "apply update from zip" I receive an installation aborted error message, I am using the latest Clowkwork Touch recovery and have also tried installing the update via the ROM manager app. Can someone please advise.
Thanks

You never install a firmware from recovery
Read teh forums
1) Put ZIP in SDcard
2) reboot into bootloader
3) the phone will detect the zip file and install it
4) reboot,, it might get stuck at boot animation
5) reboot into recovery and delte teh zip from sd card via adb shell
6) format cache and dalvik
7) reboot and enjoy..
If you would have read the forums, and threads you would have known what needs to be done.
If you are not comfortable with all of these steps, donot do any of it till you understand what they are!!!
Thanks for your reply. I was actually just posting to say please disregard this thread as I had now managed, It was as you said automatically detected.. Thanks anyway
Hello Fellas, I took some time off my tight studying schedule for exams() to share this trick with you
Reset Android Pattern/Password/Pin lock (without even root and USB Debugging Disable)
PHP:
I am not responsible for your device being dead, you flashing stock ROM, you using your device as a brick, or any harm to any information, personal or intellectual property, terrorism, vandalism, theft, or any other thing by use or misuse of this mod.
This guide is for educational purpose only
Introduction
It sucks when you forget your passwords
But Gmail account can save you. But what for those who don't have it?
There are some methods to reset them
Wiping data being most popular
But, why loosing precious data when there is a easier or easiest to do method
This is a new method found and tested by me on a rooted device but the resources it uses are available to be used without root too, so it may work on unrooted devices too.
This method uses Aroma File Manager by amarullz in Recovery Mode of the device to delete the password database related files. So, it should work on all devices!
So, first you need to download AROMA FILE MANAGER from this thread :-
Aroma File Manager
Credits:-
amarullz for Amazing Aroma File Manager
m.sabra for information about which files are related to passwords and pattern
Instructions:-
1. Download Aroma File Manager.
2. Place it in the root of your sdcard(Preferred)
3. Reboot into recovery
4. For CWM:
Mount all partitions (including sd-ext if you have it)
And flash Aroma File Manager from sdcard
For stock recovery(Samsung e3):
In stock recovery, there is no option to mount partitions, so
Flash Aroma File Manager, Click on menu option and go to settings
Select Mount All Partitions
Now, exit from Aroma File Manager and reflash it.
Now, you will see each partition is mounted
5. Now, go to /data/system
Note : If you have sd-ext mod to increase internal storage, go to /sd-ext/system/
6. Now, If you have to remove pattern lock, long press and delete gesture.key
If you want to remove password, delete password.key
7. Exit the Aroma File Manager
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy
very useful for those whose devices are not rooted
good job
or you can just flash a scipt that deletes the gesture or etc instead of flashing the file manager and look for the parts to be removed
by the way thanks for the guide.

If you have USB debugging on and ADB installed, then connect your phone to PC
And type
Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
If you get error like Read Only File System
Type adb remount and hit Enter and try again

Then it's very easy for you. Download CWM and install it and then do it
And BTW, it's "Apply update from sdcard" in stock recovery
Thanks for this. Technically you should get the option to reset the password with your gmail account after a certain amount of failed attempts but of couse this is not always the case.
On another note I hope this makes Google get on the ball with security if bypassing it is this easy.

You don't need access to device for disabling signature verification
There's option of disabling it in CMW

Seems like bad recovery. Try a different one.
