(It Should Install Recovery)
Now You Are Done With The Recovery!
Installing ROMs (Read Only Memory)
Put ROM .zip Package into SD Card.
Boot into recovery by pressing Call+Volume Up+Power.
After that Chose Install .zip From SD Card > Chose .zip From SD Card > Chose Your ROM .zip Package!

I was wondering if there was a way to root the new ota without using one of the pre made roms.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
1. Download the superuser package from androidsu.com/superuser and place it on your SD card.
2. Flash CWM via Odin/Heimdall.
3. Start your phone directly into Recovery, do not boot android normally.
4. Flash the zip file that you downloaded and put on your SD Card.
5. Restart your phone.

Hi,
I rooted my phone today and am now trying to install Cyanogen Mod. I followed all steps on their Wiki but now am facing a problem.
- The wiki says "Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card. "
- I placed the update .zip file on the root of the external sd card. Seems like that was not what was intended.
- I followed these steps successfully:
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.- The next step is "Select the CyanogenMod update.zip. "
The problem is I don't see the CyanogenMod update .zip file anywhere in that list. Seems like I may have placed it in the wrong sd card?
When I try and reboot it just comes to the screen with the giant S and goes no further.
How can I resolve this problem?
Adding some more information after reading a few other threads.
- Looks like I placed the cyanogen mod update .zip file in the external sd and not the internal one (stupid!!).
Now I cannot get back inside the phone to try and place it in the internal sd.
How do I solve this?
Connect the phone to the PC and mount usb in recovery. You should see a storage device in windows & then just copy the files on it.
Ok. Just tried that. After I select 'mount usb storage', the next screen says on the top:
USB Mass Storage device
Leaving this menu unmount
your SD card from your PC
I then see an option to unmount.
On Windows explorer, I don't see the device.
Thinking back, I may have unchecked 'USB Debugging' before I started the process (for some reason that I cannot remember now). Would that cause a problem?
USB Debugging should not matter because you're in recovery.
I've not understand at well the question. You want flash the CM9 from clockwork mod? I've a Galaxy Gio, but in my case i have only to:
1 - copy the ROM in the root( after flash with manager of Android, with an SD adapter or in the other possible way)
2 - backup the old rom from cwm;
3 - reboot in cwm and if i have mount errors of /cache /data or some other partition i format it and mount it manually from cwm
4 - flash the zip i've copied at step 1
Then you have to wait and at the end, reboot.
What goes wrong in these steps for you ?
EDIT: If you don't see the .zip try to remove SD and use a SD Adapter, so you can copy files manually. Or if you want use CWM you can mount the device connecting device with USB cable, go in clockwork and do "mounts and storage -> mount USB storage" and copy files in the root "/"
You can use adb push command in recovery to push files to the phone.
You can also use fastboot to flash image files to the phone.

Step 1 went wrong
I copied the ROM in the external SD instead of internal sd. Now trying the adb option to push the ROM into the device root. Hoping that works.

This guide is same as my gio guide. The ROM goes in the root of external sd, not in internal memory. Try to reinstall CWM if you don't find the zip.

Thank you my friend. This worked!
Little did I realise that this simple sounding statement above would require me to set up a complete android development environment on my computer.
I'm still not sure if all that was needed but I was finally able to get the files on my device by doing an adb push.
Lovely education for me today!
Glad it helped. Sorry I forgot to mention that ... it's kinda natural to me (having the sdk installed).

I am (or was at the time of this post) a complete noob with no programming qualifications but now I have gone through a crash course.
I now have my S2 running CM7.
My problem is that i installed boftain ns v1 and now i want to delete and install the original one. Whenever i rebot to recovery my phone gets jammed at the Google sign. Please help. Usually i would connect the phone and odin will recognize it and install the Rom. But this time it want work. Thx
If you can boot into recovery manually (turn off the phone. Hold volume up + power button and select recovery, I assume you have CWM installed)
you can follow these steps:
Select storage -> mount SD
than copy the official android 4.0.3 to your SD (you can find the official rom easily here on XDA)
select unmount SD
Than go to install zip from sd card, chose the zip, chose the stock rom you've downloaded and hit yes. This first boot should be a little bit longer than usual.
You should now be in stock 4.0.3, and should be able to update to 4.0.4 going to the settings of your phone.
If you cant even get to recovery, there is a linux tool to fix a bricked nexus s. find it in the development section I guess

Hi,
install zip from SDCard
This function is what you'll use to flash your ROMs, updates, mods, modems that come in a CWM-flashable .zip. When you click that option, it'll drive you to a sub-menu, which contains the following :
choose zip from sd card - This is from where you will choose your CWM-flashable .ZIP and flash it. It is by default your external SDcard storage, but may differ from ROM to ROM.
apply /sdcard/update.zip - This is what you'll use to flash an update.zip package. An update.zip package is usually official stock Android for updating in the stock 3e recovery, or any other ROM, kernel, theme, etc, that is named update.zip and is on the root of the SDcard (not in any subfolder)
toggle signature verification - This function enables or disables the signature verification. A signature verification is to check if the ROM is compatible with the phone, if it's "legit", not corrupted, and so on.
toggle script asserts - This is to enable or disable script asserts. Scripts asserts are pretty much CWM's way to verify if the ROM is compatible with your phone by checking the device model, carrier version and the date of the installed ROM.
choose zip from internal sd - This will take you to a menu of sub folders of your internal SD card. But like in the 1st option, it may vary from ROM to ROM.

Place zip on the root of your sd card.
Go into recovery.
You choose zip-->install zip---> select keyboard zip

Which phone are you talking about? Do you have internal / external sd? Stock recovery is not usable for flashing any custom zip files, for installing non-signed files, you'll need a custom recovery.
i am using galaxy core.i want to install philz touch custom recovery.zip but to do so i have to see that file which is on my internal sd. when i go to "apply update from sd card" i can see only one folder which redirects me to the main menu in stock recovery.and can u tell me why cant i see any folder of my sd card too. i have external sd card too

As I said, you can't install any custom zips using the stock recovery. You will need to flash PhilZ using ODIN first.
Is your phone a Samsuung GT-i8260 ?
my phone is GT-i8262. and i got u. recently i saw a video on youtube where a custom zip was installed using stock rom recovery. however i have odin and i know how to use it. but i am not sure if there are different version of recovery zip for different mobile.if it is or not can u please give me a link of philz touch recovery.tar for my phone.
